class OF fruit that pays growers. who
live this distance from the market,
to produce.
We hope to be able to have a rep
resentative from some one of the ia
nous fruit sections at all our short
courses In the future. Ono Of the
best means OF education along indus
trial lines is to visit sections where
similar work Is being done In the
best manner. Since our fruit grow
ers cannot all go to the expense OF
taking such trips, the next best means
IL toget men Of experience from such
regions to describe their methods At
our horticultural meetings. It does
us all good to have an opportunity to
compare our methods and results
with those Of other regions, partic-
ularly when that region has been
more successful.

San Francisco. Jan. 7.-tpon the
question whether the month. day and
year. but boxing the element of place,
constitutes a "datc" rests the decision
OF the United States circuit court on
an application to set aside the proba-
ton of the will of the late jacob u.
Davis, a millionaire of this city, who
died about ten years ago. Certain
distant relatives of the late capitalist
who at the time of the probating Of
the will compromised their claims to
portions of the estate for 500, 900,
now seek a bill of revivor.
Tho ground for action is largely
based upon the contention that the
will. which is an Photographic instru-
ment. is not dated as required by law,
having only the month. day and year
on it. but not denoting the place whore
it was written.
Counsel for the appellants, in his
argument, went back to ancient histo-
ry to show that place is an essen
tia element of a date"

would take him six weeks to- reach a

WHITE HOUSE RECEPTION
PICTURESQUE FUNCTION

Washington. u. c.. Jan. THE first
and most picturesque Of the ofhcial
White House receptions OF the season
was hat given In honor Of the diplo-
matte corps tonight. Diplomatic. Of
fetal and social Washington was pres
.cnt in large numbers,
one touch Of brilliant color which
usually adds to such occasions was
lacking tonight due to the fact that
China's representative. the Chinese
minister and their suites. are IN
mourning because of the recent death
Of their emperor.
The hundreds of guests entered at
the east end Of the mansion. passed
IN the steps to the main floor. thence
through the hall to the state dining
room and 10 the blue room, where
President and Mrs. Roosevelt assisted
by cabinet members and their wives
in the receiving line. The guests
then passed through to the East room
and into the main hall. where diplo-
cabinet officers, members of con
gress. prominent government cxecu-
officers and members Of society
mingled in one large and brilliant
throng.
