great as an advertising medium to the fruit dis
tricts Of the country, and in Difference to their
quests, this special contest is arranged which per-
mits the exhibitor to get as much publicity from
it as possible. A space sufficient for large ex-
hibit will be given to each district entering the

sires. The prizes aggregate $500, of which $40O
is cash. and in addition silver cup which will
cost $1O0 and which will be furnished by the board

orchards apples which belong to no known variety.

apples belong to some variety with which the
grower is not acquainted and this contest was
arranged to determine the names of such apples
and if they are really new apples to give them
name
Springdale Reformer: Jerry Cooney completed
the moving of his big stock of merchandise into
his new store the first of the week, and there are
now few towns of the size of Springdale in the
Inland Empire that can boast of as fine an estab-
lishment as he has. The building, which was
erected especially for mercantile purposes, occu-
pies the site of the destroyed by fire last july
is of brick, 40x100 feet in size with large base
ment, is heated by steam and is lighted by cleo
trcity throughout. The front windows are of
heavy plate glass, and as soon the large stock
of merchandise can be placed in position, will
afford splendid display of the various lines
carried. The new building would be credit to
town many times the size of Springdae, and is the
very best kind of evidence of the unbounded faith
which her business men have in the future growth
and development of the town.
