situation. 'The leaves have come out
or the trees and the little peaches are
hard to find. You may Bee a few
peaches al first, and when examined
more closely you will find many more.
The crop seems larger than was esti-
mated after the April freeze"
Strange as il may seem, the peach
crop seems to have been injured more
in this section and south than in the
northern part of the state. Through
out Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas,
the peach crop was ruined in April.
Georgia will have a very short peach
crop. The Missouri State Board of
Agriculture figures that north and
central Missouri will have rs per cent
of a full peach crop, while the 0zarks
will have only 25 per cent of a crop.
The fruit was farther advanced here
than in the northern part of the state.
While the crop is short it should be
profitable and many growers look for
record prices.
The apple crop was never better.
In this section there will be 80 per
cent of a full crop. Strawberries also
are in fine condition, but the dry
weather last fall killed many plants,
especially where they were not given
proper attention.

SAYS Bro. Hafner. of The Kicker:

Ma 49, DAoH VI ~ 1AiShC4 . =
just can't get used to it. | like to
read Bro. Axes editorials, and he
just refuses to write any. No more
eulogies on tariff reform appears. And
he seems to have forgotten all about
our late currency reform. Not even
the Panama tolls humbug is exciting
him-nor the '~'insult" that Huerta
offered to our Flag. What has got
him anyway? Bro. Mcclure is better
situated. He swings off on prohibition
when all else gets stale. And after
he has pounded the liquor traffic into
a fragile he marches to the polls and
votes for its continuance.
| plead guilty to editorial lapsing, but
it is not owing either to mental lazi-
ness, of lack of interest in passing
events or cessation of conviction.
"Local" matter continually pushes
aside my own lucubrations, and "From
Dodgeville'' must perforce usurp the
space designed for them. I still be-
lieve in the saving grace of Free
Trade, and have voiced myself on the
Canal tolls question. AS for Mexican
matters, they r so damnably mixed,
and still a-mixing through laborious
efforts of the several war correspond
ents, that / hold my breath and i'm
patiently await developments. All
that the President has done in this
connection 1 heartily endorse and feel
assured that il war does come it will
be because there is no other way out.
I am nc lingo, but nc Greaser can be
permitted with impunity to trail our
flag in the mud and dance the fan
dango or tango over its stars. This
about covers all questions of present
interest. The campaign will open
shortly and / shall then take pleasure
in dispensing political wisdom round
about and in directing Bro. Hafner,
who is but a sheep strayed from the
flock, into the way from which he
should never have departed.

There's going to be lots Of peaches

that's what growers from B~randsville,

orchards in this section which have
been well cared for and where the air

Victor Dare, the Boy
Detective

Victor Dare was sleeping peacefully
in bed in the Star Ranch. OF WYom-
ing, when he was suddenly awakened
by the shouts, 1.-THE rustlers are here,
Victor knew very well what this
meant, for the rustlers had been very
bold for the last few weeks and many
of Mr.. Dare's cattle were stolen.
Victor got up hastily, donned his.
clothes and went out. All was con-
fusion on the ranch, men were get
ting their horses and going after the
thieves, while others ran here and
there. not knowing what to do. We

them all He stepped aside and, tax
ing a silver whistle out of his pocket,
he blew three loud blasts. upon which
his band Immediately came together;
Victor explained everything that hau
happened and told each one to mount
their horses and to secure reviewers.
They obeyed, and Victor. after
loosening his favorite, Bin, from his
kennel, began to trail the rustlers.
They went at breakneck speed for
about five miles, for the rustlers had
left a distinguishable trail, when Bin
began to bark wildly. Victor stopped,
the others doing likewise,s and dis
haunted to see what Bin had seen.
Bin led them to one side of the road,
where Victor saw a dead COW lyl'ig
there. He looked at the brand ana
recognized it as their own. He how
understood that the rustlers went
fast. in order to elude their pursuers
Now. let's think little" Victor
muttered to himself. "They couldn't
have gone very far from here, be-
cause the cattle are tired. They most
likely would have struck toward the
r1o1ntains So to the mountains,
boys" he added aloud
Accordingly they struck westward
and soon saw the mountains rising
before them. Victor's belief that they
had struck toward the mountains
was soon confirmed when they saw
another COW lying near the road. Vic,
tor stopped again and held council
of war" 1t was decided that the
party should be divided into four
parts, each part having a leader. Vic
tor led the main division. NOW,

This was disconcerting. Dorothy

a lordly air.

Twenty cents. That's why
I'm not going to get him today.

Then a bright idea struck Davie.

3Chiffons Are Popular

CAffons continue their unabated
sway over the affections, generally
speaking, of all coutouriers as the
most attractive material for the MAX

In fact, transparent materials are in
high favor and will continue their
prestige as long as merchants are able
to obtain them for their customers.
Laces will suffer a shrinkage in pop

has to leave home at a special time,
the breakfast hour should be fixed
early enough to allow ample margin
for a comfortable meal, and spare
few minutes before the start; the
meal served punctually, and no one,
not even guest. should be waited
for. Have the hot dishes and the
tea and coffee. pots set on a copper
stand, with the spirit lamp alight be-
low. and let the late-comers help
themselves. This is by far the best
plan, and saves no end of trouble and
friction.
Also, don't waste precious moments
in reproaching the laggards; if they
like to run things close that is
their own lookout. There are always
lots of things one wants to do at
breakfast time; letters to read, the
morning papers to glance at; and the
chat is always more or less hasty and
fragmentary, but it should always be
good humored.

In vain did they scour the noun
tains and valleys, but they could find
no trace whatsoever of the rustlers.
In Victors division there was an In
dian lad who was called Hawk Eye.
(He. as well as his forefathers could
easily discern a trail) Suddenly he
bent down and whispered to Victor,
me see trail Of two paleface and TO
cow" Victor was very glad when
he heard this. He told the redskin to
lead the way, while the band fol-
lowed. Then he reminded himself
about the signal. Accordingly he
drew out his revolver and fired on
two shots, and fired one shot at diff
ferent intervals. Finally the whole
band was reunited, and with HawS-
Eye at their head they slowly fol-
lowed him. Now and then he would
lose the trail, but he would soon re-
cover it.
They travelled in this fashion for
for about two miles. They were
riding down slope that was strewn
all over with boulders They were
proceeding cautiously now, for they
knew that there were about seventy
Ave cattle-rustlers in this region, and
they might lay in ambush now and
destroy Victor's entire party. Above
all Victor was anxious to discover
the whereabouts of the place where
the stolen cattle of all the region was
hidden. Suddenly Hawk-Eye stopped
