When Billy Edwards took personal
charge of his two-acre lemon orchard
two years ago his November pick
amounted to twelve boxes. This year
he delivered 127 boxes, netting 6,3O4
pounds Of nice green fruit, with evil
dence of a large pick for December.

CHILDREN ENJOY
Street CAR RIDE
THEY WENT AROUND THE LOOP
TWICE AFTER THE FORUMS
CHRISTMAS TREE ENTERTAIN-
MENT AT oRPHEUM-HoW TWO
TOOK CARE OF THEIR SHOES.

1t was about the first pair of new
shoes that they had received in many
i day, and they obtained them from
The Forum Christmas tree at the Or
pheum theatre. 1t was a sort of a new
sensation for two little ones who step
ped out of their homes yesterday
morning just to see how it would feel
10 go out in a new pair of shoes.
1t had showed the day before and
about their little home over in Moor
read the snow was deep. No sooner
had the two youngsters stepped out
than their new shoes were covered 1t
made them feel badly and so they
walked into the house again, got some
t.. cue paper that had covered some Of
the presents they had received off the
same tree and proceeded to wipe off
the shoes until they came to the street
sidewalk which had been comparative
ly cleaned.
One Of the street car men on Christ
mas day had d fine time with a bunch
of youngsters who had been at The
Drum entertainment and tree in the
morning. 1t was about the first time
the children had ever been on a street
car and so they did not get off, but
went aroun the loop. They enjoyed
the ride SO much that they tried it
again.
One of the ladies who had been as
sfsting at the tree at the Orpheum hap
pened to get on the same car shortly
after nOon, when all of the exercises
had been over for some time and she
was surprised to see the car crowded
with children, many of whom she had
recognized as having been at the en-
tertainment.
What under the sun are these chill
dren doing on here now?" she asked Of
the conductor.
"Oh, that's all right. They have been
around the loop three times already
and are just getting started on an
other trip. You see they are enjoying

Harold Culivan of Geddes made quick
work of the wrestling match Platte
last Thursday evening. He was to
throw Will Crowley, Ransom Skillings
and Slime Severson, each once in one
hour. He trimmed Crowley in one
minute, dumped Skillings in thirteen
minutes aud put Severson's shoulders
two points down in four aud ene-half
minutes. Culivan also took "Babe"
Cool on for a short bout and was VIC
torious again, Cool not being in very
good condition for a -restle. A num-
Der of the sports from Lake Andes and
Geddes went up to attend the bout.
Mathew Soukup of Moore township
was in to see US Saturday. Mr.. Souk-.
up is interested in deep tilling and says
the land he plows deepest produces the
best crops, at least after the first year,
and says farmers will be using plows
that will loosen up the subsoil to the
depth of Is inches or more and that
this mode of blowing will settle the
crop problem in this county. He has
trees that the holes for which were dug
FIVE feet deep and said they were max
ing fine growth. Better plant ten
trees this way than to plant hundred
in the ordinary way, for the ten will
surely grow and bring results where
the hundred might later prove DIS
