No DAMAGE TO PEACHES.

"No section of the state has report
ed any damage to the peaches" Pro-
fessor Chandler said. 1.-The trees
are late to bloom and are in excellent
condition to withstand cold. With
just a week or two more of this cold
weather to hold back the buds the
crop will be practically safe.
''As large a crop of apples as last
year can hardly be expected. Last
year was an apple year, but the Ben
Davis. which is the most widely grown
variety in this state, rarely has two
big years in succession. A fair crop
is likely, however as the weather is
favorable.
Strawberries probably will be more
profitable to the growers this year
than last, althoug the acreage is less.
Weather conditions threw the Arkan-
sas crop on the market at the same
time as the Missouri berries. so the
price was low. The cherries around
St. Louis and ST. Joseph are coming
along favorably. This has been a
winter for grapes, too"
ALL CROP REPORTS FAVORABLE.
The state board OF agriculture has
not yet sent out its inquiries, accord
ing to Mr.. Nelson. From his own
observation, however. and from let
tiers he has received. he says there
has been practically no winter killing
OF wheat. and that the grain has
made a tair growth. A little damage
has been reported from the eastern
counties, due to the Hessian fly.
A little oat seeding has been done
in the southern part of the state.
says Mr.. Nelson. Otherwise COM
paratively little spring farming is
being carried on.

IT'S A 9ie Year For Fruit

ton, according to W. l.. Nelson,
assistant secretary of the state board

UNC' BILLY POSTUM WISHES HE
HAD SNOW SHOES
By Thornton w. Burgess.

asleep He was so tickled over the idea
that he could get out of the henhouse
that he couldn't think of anything else
and SO he forgot. Yes sir, Unc' Billy
forgot! What did he forget? Why. he
forgot that that nice soft snow. which
SO kindly buried the dreadful traps so
that they could do no harm. couldn't
be waded through without leaving
tracks. Unc' Billy forgot all about that
until he was half way to the Green
Forest, and then, as he sat down to rest
and get his breath, he remembered.
inc Billy looked behind him and turned
pale. Yes, sir. Unc' Billy Possum turned
pale! There, all the way from Farmer
Browns henhouse, was broad trail I'm
the smooth, white snow where he had
ploughed his way through. If Farmer
Browns boy should come out to look at
his traps he would see those tracks at
once and all he would have to do would
be TO follow them until they had led
him to inc Billy.
"Oh, dear. Oh, dear! Whatever did
All leave the henhouse for?' walled Unc'
Billy.
His wits were all wide awake now. 1t
wouldn't do to go back. Farmer Browns
boy would see that he had gone back,
and then he would hunt that henhouse
through until he found Unc' Billy. No,
there was nothing to do but to go on and
trust that Farmer Browns boy was so
showed i'm and would be kept SO busy
shoveling out paths that he would forget
all about looking at his traps. Unc Billy
drew a long breath and began 10 wade
ahead toward the Green Forest.

the lovers of art another world of cul-
tured beauty bearing the impress Of the

these masterpieces have not yet been sur
passed. or even equaled; but in one re-
spect, and that the most important which
can be named, the Japanese have sur
passed the Greeks in the development of
the art instinct in that with them it has
Possibly the Greeks may have been en-
dOwed with such a universal instinct for
art production and art appreciation, but
certain 1t is that there Is no other nation
today living in which artistic taste and
aptitude are more generally diffused than
in Japan. Not only are the commonest
kitchen utensils nodded into forms of ex-
quisite beauty by Japanese artisans. but
it is also very unusual to find even a
coolie who is not in some way a capable
artist. To this SO competent an authority
as Prof. Chamberlain bears testimony in
saying that 1t is to the common people
that the foreigner in Japan must go for
those lessons in proportion. fitness and

THE WINDS WILL. BY Albert Britt.
New York: Moffat. Yard & CO.
A completely modern romance whose
affairs move from an Illinois farm to a
Pennsylvania mill town, and from there
on to New York city, and back to the
mills. This is the story of a boy sud
denly projected into situations and re-
sponsibilities for which he has had no
training, save clean upbringing and
a good measure Of native manliness. A
little mystery at the beginning. not only
gives an ideal oyhood for the hero on q
western farm. but 1t explains also why he
is held away from his fathers mills,
which are bound ultimately to depend
upon him for their safe and successful
conduct. The remainder OF the inven-
ton is concerned with the boys very
natural business failure, and Of his re-
treat to New York. where, for a time, he
was able to forget his humiliation. But,
being at heart a man. he was compelled
to go after his defeat and work it over
into something better than that A good
love story goes along with the other adj
ventures. much Of the final all-around
success depending upon the fine quail
ties OF its heroine. This Is a good story
sturdy, well built. of excellent theme. In
it's grasp and portrayal of the character
of its young hero, from boy to man, 1t is
admirable.
THE BROWNS. BY J. E. Buckrose

pany.
This cheerful little story pictures home
life in an English town. There is but one
cloud. and that brightens into sunset
glow. Mrs. Brown Is a wistful bit of
widow, who. cheated out Of youth and
married happiness, clings with child
like faith to her buoyantly strong daugh-
ter, who loyalty returns love for love.
