Effort Would Be Futile. Senator Newberry (republicans whose seat in ' the Senate - hasNjeen challenged -and about which long and hitter controversy has been raging ever since his defeat of Henry Ford, (democrat) the big auto king, has re signed his seat in the Senate, giving as his reason the defeat of his col league Senator Townsend. Mr. New berry states that it would -We futile for hinvto attempt to continue his public service since he would be con inually hampered by partisan perse cution. - The Senator was convicted in Michigan for conspiracy to ' violate the election Laws during his race "for the Senate against' Henry Ford. He appealed the case to the Supreme Court which declared the statute un der which he was convicted Uncon stitutional, and the Senate- after "a long and bitter fight finally confirmed his title by a -margin of only five votes.- The case was brought for ward in many states during the re cent election. The Senator's resigna tion was sent to Governor Groesbeck and requested that his resignation take effect immediately. The Gover nor has not yet made any comment on the resignation except that he had no one in mind to take Newberry's place. This action on the part of Ms. Newberry will end one of the longest and most bitter 'political fights ever staged over the question of a Sena torial seat, challenged upon the ground of fraud under the election laws of the states.

At a meeting of the officers and directors of the. Chamber of Com merce, F. S. Wetmur, the new presi dent, explained to to those present his desire Jp see this county take its righful place as one of the best apple producing sections of the county; andf while he realized that not a great deal had -been done in the past along this line he believed it was on account of a lack of modern methods and a lack of production in the varieties , in demand. He believes there is a great future for the right kind of ap ples in this section and is most anx ious to getUhe people of the county to push the apple industry along mo dern lines. He told the members present that he woufd like to see some scheme worked out that everybody could back and push whereby a greater acreage to fine apples can be secured, and was sure that by proper , methods of going about it the farmers could be induced to plant a thousand acres of apples during the year 1923. Upon the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Bland and Mr. Bell, both for mer Presidents of- the Board of Trade, made telling talks along the same line pledging their support to the general propostion and assuring- the President that they were of the same opinion. After the matter waa thoroughly discussed it was agreed that another meeting shall take place next Friday night and in the mean time each member is to try to famil iarize himself wih the subject and be prepared to offer good suggestions in order that some plan of action may be mapped out. The importance of producing high grade apples if we areto stay in the market and the certainty that they can be produced in his section with a far, better , flavor .apd color than,, in. many other "thriving apple sections convinces Mr. Wetmur that he is on the right track and he is determined to push the matter and get tne pro gramme started. Some ideas were expressed that through the farmers federations and organizations and the new farm demonstrator, to gether with a speech making tour by experienced orchardists and'experts, would bte a fine way of getting the merits of the proposition before the people. The meeting was held in the Hodgewell Hotel. MR. AND MRS. J. A. WOODWARD WILL REMAIN IN CITY J. A.
