Your reporter came under the good
graces of Walter Canning on Wednes-
day for wholesome treat in the form
of box of magnificent fruit, grown
on the James Canning strawberry
farm. The berries were of a NAM
moth variety, half as large as peaches,
and with flavor and texture equal to
the finest. We were surprised to find
the big, luscious fellows ripened so
early. Mr.. Canning has three acres
of such strawberries under cultiya-
tion growing nicely. The vines prom
Use an unusually large crop. Only a
drOuth can disappoint him and for
this he is well prepared. He has a
steamer and pump, 300 feet of pipe
and 200 feet of hose for watering pur-
poses. Thus equipped he can readily
flood two acres of the berry patch.
1t looks as if this season will be a de-
cidedly successful one for local straw
berry growers in general.

To Float Over Havana.

The stars and stripes in the shape of
the largest flag in the world will float
over Moro castle, Havana, when Blanco
surrenders. The immense flag designed
for this duty was prepared and may be
seen draped at the front of an empty
store room in New York city. A patri-
otto Wall street man has had the great
flag made. 1t measures 120 feet long
and 435 feet wide and it is believed that
it breaks the record for size. 1t is so

From point to point each star measures

garden annex in exact duplicate of
the famous Milwaukee resort. The
only difference is that in this city ice
cream soda and crushed fruit mixtures
