Dish Dinner.

1t was an unusually merry
crowd of ladies' that assembled at
the elegant home of Mrs. w. O.
Jackson in South Iuka on last
Thursday.
AS the name implies each guest
Carried dish of something to eat
thereby fully carrying out the OBJ
Ject of the gathering, to have a
good time with little trouble to the
hostess, indeed she was saved all
trouble in the way of preparing
eatables and certainly it must have
been pleasure to entertain such
a jolly crowd as was there.
The ladies were nicely enter
tained for while by the Edison
Phonograph and by music on the
piano by Mrs. Allen and Mrs. w.
w. Harris, sacred, sentimental
and comic, enjoyed by all.
Most everyone brought her
nandiwork along but, useless to
say, not much was done in the
course of the day. 1t was with
much regret that the guests fin
ally departed with hardly words
to express their gratitude to the
Kind hostess. About eighteen en-
joyed Mrs. Jackson's hospitality.

J. l.. Dumas, who has acquired the

his perfect fruit, and every one pres
ent at todays luncheon was given a
sample of the perfect fruit Mr.. Du-
mas made a few remarks upon the ne
cessity for perfect pack, and en-
cOuraged orchardists to greater eff
forts by showing that each year the
report is circulated to the effect that
an Over-production was to be the rule.
He quoted figures showing the short
States, and exploded the stories that
are circulated each season that the APP
pie crop will be 80 per cent larger
than that Of the year previous. Mr..
Dumas gave figures from the report of
the department of agriculture showing
the apple crop of last season to have
been Jess than that of the year pre-
vious
w. S OTrer, one of the pioneer or
charGists of this section. expressed TIE
importance in advertising the valley
than any stencil that could be used
to label the boxes. and quoted fig
ures showing the production of the
Walla Walla valley to have been
greater ten years ago than it is at
the present time. Many of the trees
have since been dug up and the land
used for gardens. although the quality
now is better than in past years, due
to more modern methods in combat
ing the pests with which old orchards
were affected. Apple packers who
lived here ten years ago have moved
70 other sections because of lack of
employment here, and MI. Offner
argued that a packing school would be
an excellent thing for the community.
AS to the label the speaker was of
the opinion the stencil should be or
such design that it would advertise the
entire valley. rather than any specific
portion but he held that the label
has nothing to do with the sale of the
fruit. the merit being the sole factor
in this regard.
c. s Buffum. Of the firm oi Cation
& Buffum, was Of the same opinion as
Mr.. Offner, having found by expert
ence that quality of fruit alone is re-
sponsible for top notch figures.
