 Oar attention is being called every day to the example Of some farmer with an idea. who takes pruning saw and goes into an old and uuprost. able orchard and makes il pay attrac tive dividends. Proper cultivation and spraying are important factors in such a Fejuyenation. bur the increase in size and color Of fruit is verg large F due to jadieious pruning
 In old orchards which have been neglected the thing most notieeable is the fact that the tree tops contain too much wood; 100 many limbs.

MAY BREAKFAST.

The last meeting Of the Fort
nightly Club proved to be a most
unique and enjoyable one, with 81
members present. The members
were hidden to assemble at three
minutes of twelve at the home of
the president, Mrs. Hooker, to par
take of May breakfast, May I'd.
The menu was under the care of
an efficient social committee, Mrs.
Clark, Mrs. Marshall and Mrs.
Crewe. Mrs. Clark has long held
the Craftsmanship of this important
committee, and to her and her
willing helpers is due much of the
pleasure of the social affairs, al
ways a happy part of the years
work. This May breakfast took
the place of the usual domestic
science meeting and was equally
enjoyable.
The menu, served by befrilled
mattresses, consisted of Grape fruit
and candied cherries, breakfast
cereal, fried chicken, Drowned po-
tato rosettes, peas and rolls, and
the breakfast was finished in true
New England style, with coffee and
doughnuts. At each plate were
found as favors dainty May bas-
kets, candy filled, made by this in
genious committee.
After short business meeting
incident to closing the years work,
was a merry game taking the place
of a musical program. Each lady
was handed piece of blank card
beard with a ribbon of the Club
color, green, in it. Next she was
given a slip of paper containing a
number and the name of some song
She was then told to draw a pic
ture to represent the name. After
these had been completed the
cards were exchanged, to be guess
ed by other persons. So many ar
fists were found that the guessing
proved not a hardship but a pleas
ure. All felt that the closing meet
ing was one of the pleasantest of a
profitable year, and that we owed
much to our president as hostess,
and to the ladies who assisted her.

THE problem, not as yet fully

retained throughout the game. Keo-

The Kahoka team proved to be

weak In guarding their own basket.
end as for team work-they apparent
ly had no knowledge Of the meaning
OF the expression. Outside Of seven
foul goals, their scoring consisted of
but one goal made IN each half.
Erhart started off well IN throwing
fouls, and at first appeared to be
somewhat Of an expert In that line.
He fell down in the second half, how
ever, and at the close OF the game had
a record of but seven goals In twenty
trys.
For the local team It was com.
bination OF Jeni5ins, Huiskamp and
Vaughan. that gave them an early lead
by wide margin. This scoring ma
chine makes combination that
should prove to be a big factor in de-
Gliding the state championship
Vaughan injured his ankle in the first
period and was replaced by HUDSON.
The scoring slowed up perceptibly af
ter that and the rest of the game was
q more even contest. The score stood
at 20 to s at the end of the first half
Several changes We're made in the
lineup of the local team when the
second half started Newcomb, who
had replaced Parsons at forward, was
replaced by jenkins. LeFaiYre went
in at center for Jenkins. The rest OF
the game, although hotly contested,
was not so fast, nor interesting.
Jenkins is better man on the floor
than he is at center. LeFaivre, new
man on the saaad this year, should
develop a strong center with little
more experience.
Under the tutelage of Coach Ors-
born, the team should develop rapid
