commenced an action for divorce
against her husband, G. j. White, one of
the wealthy residents of University
Place, who was until a couple of years
ago a resident of Decatur county. In

which she complains being to quarrel
with her and then stick a revolver in
his pocket and go away, leaving her to
speculate as to what might happen
next. They were married at Cedar
Rapids % years ago, and lived for a
number years on farm few miles
northeast of Leon. Mrs. White alleges
her husband is worth about $4,000,
owning 120 acres of land in Decatur
county and 1900 acres near Billings, S.

$4,000.

Suburban CO-Opcration.

In Kensington. Maryland, one OF
Washington's suburbs. there Is
croup of pretty little COT
tares inhabited mostly by gov
ernmcnt office-holders. There is no mu
nicipal gaslighting or water supply syS-
t,m and to offset the benefit of the
health and plea surcS derived from Nv
in., near to nature, there is some as
comfort to those who are used to these
city luxuries. One householder, OF an
inventive turn of mind. however, mas
seemed to solve TIE problem for MN
self and neighbors. The party VINO
lived next door to him owned saso,
line engine. hut he had no deep well
from which to obtain Il supply OF pure
water-the government employe had.
A deal was fixed up between them by
which the inventive genius was TO set
ND and install the engine and connect
it with his pump, so by system OF
piping. water could be hal by both
Dnrtics without the necessity OF hand
pumping or a windmill.
This system of water supply has
worked well-so we'll indeed that the
piping has been laid to a couple or
ncighbors even more distant. aud the
well, being of ample capacity, now
supplies half Il dozen families with
water. 1t is understood that plans are
now being perfected by which the
gasoline engine will be called to do
double duty. In the daytime it will MI
the water tanks. while at night it will
be connected to an electric genera
tor, and thus furnish current for light
ing the immediate neighborhood. The
example set by this resident of Ken
sington could be followed by co-opera-
tion between residents of many rural
settlements Cooperative telephones

sewer. water and electric systems
should prove equally valuable and

A hardy ORANGE
Crossing the Florida Variety on the
Sturdy Japanese Species.

Botanists in the employ of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture hope to bring into being an orange
tree which will he as sturdy as the ap
pie tree; an orange tree that will not
perish in the chill of northern winter,
which in December will bear its
wreaths of snow and in May its gar
lands of bloom. and which when sum
mer comes will yield fruit as good as
that sweetened and gilded in the south
sun. This may seem to be an un-
natural proposition but It only seems.
No violence upon the laws of Nature
has been or will be attempted. 1t is
simply an effort to make the citrus
tree from which is obtained the sweet
table orange. as hardy and inSenSitive
to cold as the orange tree from which
is obtained the bitter unedible orange.
BY crossing Il citrus tree which grows
in the north and which bears an un-
edible fruit with the citrus tree of the
south it is sought to beget a plant in
which will be combined the good traits
of each,
Government botanists are confident
that the result of this citrus marriage
will be scion that will grow and
fruit at latitude midway between the
northern limits of the sweet orange
and the northern limits of the line of
growth of the unediblle orange. If
this should be there might be orange
groves in central Virginia. middle Ken
lucky, southern Indiana, southern Illi-
nois. central Missouri and central
Kansas. Think of orange gardens
around the home in Norfolk, Rich
mond. Lynchburg. Lexington, Louis

Kansas City.
