This climate Is admirably adapted
to the drying OF fruit and We will have
to come TO II in the next few years or

In California. where IL has been as
ccrtained that by the use Of sulphur
before exposing the fruit to the sun
1t can be cured without darkcning its
culor, sun drying has largely taken
the place Of machine drying. The
greater part OF the fruit Is cut and
placed upon the trays for exposure to

roofing shakes, two u three feet wide
and three to Six feet long. The boards
forming II are held together by nail
lug cleat under each end, one by one
and u quarter inches and lath or mar
row piece OF onc-half inch stun is
nailed along the edges OF the boards.
For the most part the trays are laid
directly on the ground but drying
spaces should be selected at Il distance
from Travelled roads TO prevent the dc.
pOsit Of dust on the fruit. In put
ting the fruit through the sulphur
bath the exposure required varies
with different fruits and with the
same fruit In different conditions,
as must be learned by experience.
Apples require least exposure to sui

stand more. The prevailing time OF
exposure is thirty to sixty minutes,

Mistakes seem to be the common
dread Of humanity, but this doesn't
lessen our liability to err. Recently .
bad typographical errUr appeared In
the News, greatly to the clagrin OF
the publisher, but newspaper mistakes
once In print cannot be undone. re-
marks tho Nortonville (Kan.) News.
1t Is different, however, 10 other vo-
cations. When a lawyer makes . mis-
take it is seldom noticed, or 1t only
adds to the size of his bill against his
client. When the doctor makes .
mistake what happens to the victim
Is known, but very little comment is
made. Mistakes seem to be part OF
human existence. With care many
may be avoided. He who does noth-
ing Is entitled to no credit for having
made no mistakes. Nature made one
however, when he was born. Let lit
tic everyday mistakes cause NO loss OF
sleep; but get up In the morning each
day resolved to, reduce them TO the
minimum by care and cultivated

The original call of the church In

for three months, but It was subse.
quently extended to call fora year.
with the approval Of Rev. Carpenter,
and many will regret that he sees 1t

reports two united with the church by
