Two Suspects in Theft
OF Drugs Sunday Held
In Earlier Burg|aries

Police said today they believe the
arrest of two men solves the theft
of $500 in CASH and narcotics from
the Embassy Drug Store. 1856 Co.
lumbia road NV, on June 9.
Detective 1t. Aubrey Tolson iden-
tilted the men as Robert L. Ray, 90,
and Arthur F. Maphis, 81, after they
were seized early yesterday in their
quarters in the 400 block H street
NV.
The arrests occurred during a
police search for suspects in con-
nection with the theft of a large
quantity of narcotics and $1,000 in
cash last Sunday from the Maxwell
and Tennyson Pharmacy, 1901 I
street NV.
1t. Tolson said Ray and Maphis
confessed participation in the En-
bassy case, in which safe was
cracked open. The police officer also
said Ray was indicted here Monday
on a charge of HOUSEKEEPING and
has also admitted a part in the
theft in June of a quantity of mar
cotlcs from Peoples Drug Store at
sos Seventh street SW.
According to 1t. Tolson, Maphis
will be arraigned today before
United States Commissioner Need
ham c. Turnage on a charge of
housebreaking and larceny preferred
in connection. with the Embassy
looting.
At the time of their arrest, both
men were under 81 900 bond each
awaiting action of the grand jury
in Prince Georges County on
charges of stealing narcotics and
cash from a drug store in Mount
Rainier, Md, on June 26.
In addition, Capt. Hugh Jones of
the Arlington detective force said
the two men are wanted by Ar
lington authorities in connection
with a robbery last Friday at the
Superior Motor Co., in which $500
was taken.

Plenty Beans

RALEIGH, July 15-tPHThere
will be approximately 503, 900 bush.
els Of snap beans produced in
Western North Carolina during the
1916 season. Clyde Willis OF the
Federal State crop reporting serv'
ice, predicted.
This is 80 1000 bushels less than
the 1915 crop of 672, 900 bushels.
Willis said that snap-bean acre
age is estimated at 300 acres less
than the 1s45 figure of $500 acres
Willis pointed out that seven
late-summer producing states show
a five per cent larger figure, and
80 per cent above the 10-year aver
age.
Western North Carolina cabbage
growers, Willis said, will harvest
3,400 acres of cabbage for the fresh
market. He said this figure was
based on findings Of July /. This
is 81 per cent less than last years
harvest. Farmers in eight late.
summer states also expect a Is per
cent drop over last years figure,
with only 1873, 900 tons expected this
year.
An all-time state record pepper
crop, from July l indications, is
expected, Willis said. Production
is estimated at 6l2, 900 bushels,
almost double the 345, 900 bushels
harvested in l945. The 10-year aver.
age is 314, 600 bushels, Willis re.

Farm Income In
County Doubled
In 6-Year Period

More than doubling their an
nual gross income in comparison
with 1870, as reported by the U.
S. Bureau of Census, Jackson
county farm families last year
produced crops and livestocks
with the record value of more
than 1927 600.
This huge increase in farm
revenue has already created hea-
Wv demand for general farm inn
provements and for home re-
modelling, according TO a study
released by the Tile Council of
America. With every industry
anticipating greater business ie
the state than before the war,
floor and wall tile manufacturers
alone expect their sales here to
triple ia the next few years.
Increased sales of industrial
products mean in turn a new lev
ell of prosperity for every local
businessman and worker" said
d. P. Forst, chairman of the
councils residential construction
committee.
The study shows that many
farm Improvements were made
ever during the war. Since 1910,
for example. the number of farm
homes reporting electric lights
here has increased from BOG to
$50. Heavy demand for such
undermining as installation of
running water. thing of bath
rooms and improving kitchen
layouts has already resulted. ae-
cording to Forst.
Forst also pointed out that
farmers in the county today have
70 more tractors than in 1910.
according to the Bureau of Cen
sus. and that the number OF
trucks on farms has likewise IN
creased substantially. These
facts net only indicate the i'm.
portance Of the farm market but
also make it one which no busi.
nessman or manufacturer can at
ford to overlook" he said.
