THE W0NDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY
Has Proved a Great Suecess-Thou
sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.

The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the weIl-known
Scotsman of Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say it
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted.
and marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says it fruits
abundantly even in pure sand. In the
short season of Northwestern Canada
it is a godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
D. S. Hall, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
K 8. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
it yields $3.50 worth of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. ]. H. Powers,
4732 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on a space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.

equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says it is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, Of U. S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 1O,375 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands the long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
abundantly all summer
1t is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
ever introduced.

NOT WHAT HE HAD PICTURED

Jewel That Fond Fancy

be to have wife who would be able
to wait on herself and build the fires,
If necessary, and keep the dust de-
mon on the jump without bringing on
an acute attack of nervous prostra-
ton. Said he to himself: "a girl who
swims and rows and plays a rafting
good game of tennis, not to speak of
her fondness for walking and driving,
is sure to be a domestic jewel. If we
happen to be without a servant, she
can keep the household machinery
humming."' Somebody must have told
that girl she was marrying man with
monsy. Anyhow, she hasn't been able
to dress herself without the assistance
of maid, and the only time she has
ever had the broom in her hands was
one day when she picked it up to hit
the cat with. If she'd clean house for
as much as half an hour she'd have to
go away to some fashionable springs
to recuperate. And yet, to look at her,

Will Not Issue Charters.

At a meeting of the state charter
board it was decided not to admit
any foreign corporations to do bust
ness in Kansas whose intention 1t is
to do interstate commerce business
This action was taken as a result Of
the recent decision of the United
States supreme court, prohibiting
Kansas from collecting fees from for
eign corporations in order that the
latter might engage in business in this
state.
These decisions were rendered in
the Pullman and Western Union cases
If a foreign corporation now wants It,
it must come as a domestic corpora
ton and pay the regular fees. fit in
sists on remaining a foreign corpora
ton doing an interstate business, the
charter board will not accept it's char
ter application. This will force such
corporations to file mandamus pro-
ceedings against the charter board in
the Kansas supreme court, and no de-
cision could be reached in such case
until the regular session of the legis-
lature, when the law can be amended
to get around the objections set forth
in the United States supreme court de-
cisioRs. Governor Stubs declared
that If tire was no other way to
handle the corporation business under
the crippled law, he would call an ex-
ira session of the legislature. But the
charter board, composed Of the secre-
tary OF state, attorney general and
bank commissioner, after a thorough
investigation, found way out.

Bank Deposits Growing.
THE called statement for the con-

issued December 81, 1909, shows that
the state banks of Kansas have on
deposit nearly $1OO.OOO,OOO at this

been for the unusual weather condi-

$100,000,000 mark by probably five or
six millions of dollars. Weather con-
