The Markets

]
The asparagus crop though abun-
dant, failed to make any money fol
/ farmers and was really loss
When dozen lunches of aspara-
gus sell in the city market for one
I dollar, some less, somebody is los
ing money and the farmers gener-
ally have to bear the less.
Strawberries are now going to
market. Hundreds of trucks are
carrying these luscious berries to
the city markets, where they are
bringing no profit to the growers
whatever, and in many cases loss.
The home markets where the fruit
brokers buy for western cities, the
price is so low the farmer can
make no profit. and soon the black
berry crop will be ripe and we sup
pose they will be low this year. So
the poor farmer gets it going and
coming. Yet the farmer can make a
living but nothing more and in
these times of depression it's worth
something to know that much.
Moved
Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. TimmOns and
boys moved on Wednesday to their
new home on East Main street.
Mr.. and Mrs. TimmOns have a fine
home and have about every con-
venience. but we hate to lose our
neighbors who have under all cir
cumstances been very kind and
Obliging. When one has good neigh
bors and they move away there re-
mains in your mind only kind
thoughts and wishes that they may
do well wherever they go. We shall
miss the boys, their jolly laughter
and quaint sayings of Alton will re-
main with the family who lived
next door for years to come.
AirpIanes Over Glendale
An usual sight was witnessed by
the people of Glendale on Thurs
day when nine airplanes in one
body were seen passing over the
town and going east. The inhabi-
tants often see as high as five air.
planes travelling together, but it is
a rare thing to see as many as nine.

The Glendale Fire Company has
been on the go the past week. On
Tuesday morning they were called
to the home of John G. Short, |

mon on the Lofand farm to burn |
off Is acres of land, and again to
aid in putting out a forest fire |
which was Oh H. w. TESTERS land,
near Walius garage. Very little
damage was done.
