With well cared for ounce tree
there is no "off year" Its golden fruit
is as certain to ripen as its season is to
return. But well cared for tree is
not a mass of bushes, and its roots have
been protected from the extremes OF
heat and cold by mulching. Owing TO
the tenderness of its roots, there is olly
limited area in which ounces can be
proftably grown. In places where cx-
treme cold prevails in winter, VITA lit
tie snow, it does not pay to plant the
ounce. IN y Times.

Reform, Movement.

announcer meeting OF the gentlemen
having in view the closing of all places
of business on Sunday was held last
Saturday evening, in Union Hall.
Through the publicity given the move
ment by the Post and REVIEW, it was
generally believed the meeting last
Saturday evening was to be a public
one, and the largest portion of those
present were attracted thither through
curiosity only. About hundred per
sons were present in all.
Rev. Mr.. Mowery called the meeting
to order. He stated the projectors Of
the movement had not contemplated
the holding of a public meeting at this
time, that the preliminary work of or
ganization had not been completed, and
that the publication of the doings at the
previous meeting was unauthorized.
He stated that it was not the intention
of the friends of the movement to prose-
cute any one, or to carry things in a
high handed manner. It was the in
tention to work up friendly interest
among the business men, to endeavor
to convince them that it was for their
interest, and the interests of the city,
to have the stores closed on Sunday.
He thought all good men would rejoice
if anything could be done that was for
the best interests of the city. 1t was
the intention, he said, as soon as the
preliminary work had been perfected,
to call public meeting and invite a
general expression of views.
Mr.. Book addressed the meeting in
German. He stated that the agitation
of Sunday closing had sprung from the
recent caucus in Turner Hall, at which
he had received unfair treatment when
he spoke in favor of having all saloons
closed at II o'clock p. m. He assured
those present that the friends of the
movement only had in view to welfare
of the city, and invited all friends to
join.
The chair hereupon invited general
discussion, out only Mr.. Westphal re-
sponded. This gentleman said he has was
not prepared to speak; he came to listen
and hear what the movement meant,
before expressing himself.
Mr.. Lille here limited that there were
too many present not friendly to the
cause, and suggested an adjournment.
At this juncture many left the hall.
Rev. Mr.. Hitler here moved that the
meeting adjourn to next Saturday even.
ing, in the dining room of Union Hall,
and that all friends of the movement
be invited to attend and join the club
The motion prevailed, and the meeting
adjourned.
The question of Sunday closing cal
only be amicably solved by the mer
chants themselves, and as long as the,
are not interested in the movement
nothing will come of it. At last Satur
days meeting the business men wer
conspicuous only for their absence
Only two or three were present who ar
outspoken in favor of Sunday closing
