ID club which holds regular meetings
with d stated program to discuss que5-
tions related to the city welfare. An
essay on women's clubs and their BEN
eft to city and country, report of the
late meeting of commercial clubs IN
Lincoln, and paper on cement SIDE
walks, how to get them and where 10
put them, were numbers of the pro-
gram of a recent meeting. A discussion
participated in by a city merchant and
a farmer on the business relations be-
tween village and country, involving of
course the mail order business, was
the most interesting feature of the
meeting. Such discussions would seem
to be of considerable ultimate value TO
o town, but the Chief reports that the
attendance of business men at the
meetings is by no means as heavy as
it might be.

This soft winter story is from the
TaImage Tribune: George Peterson
the most extensive apple raiser in this
section of the country, called at the
Tribune office one day this week with
some apples for the Tribune force to
sample. They had been laying in the
orchard all winter with only such pro-
lection from the weather as the few
leaves on the ground afforded but still
were sound and intact the same as
though they had been given the best
of care for preserving them. They
were the Ben Davis variety and had
lost none of their flavor or toothSon1e-
ness by the exposure"
Spraying will be essential to future
apple crops in Richardson county, ac-
cording to the Falls City Tribune: "One
Of our subscribers, who is good author
ity on the subject, brought in a twig
of an apple branch Tuesday of this
week. which shows the condition of
many of the fruit trees of this section.
The twig was only about nine inches
in length but on it were between fif-
teen and twenty coddling moth eggs.
These eggs are deposited on the tree
by a certain species of a miller and if
early steps are not taken to prevent
their growth and Matching the fruit crop
will suffer To prevent the ravages of
this coddling moth every orchard
should be sprayed by its owners early
i'm the season and this should be done
thoroughly. Too much attention can
not be paid to this by fruit growers of
this county"

sion The banker arose from his beauty
