Reuben Krug returned from Denver
Wednesday where he had been in
charge of a car Of apples for the
Yakima Fruit Growers association.
Mr.. Krug was six days on the road
with the apples and altho prepared to
heat the car if necessary, found the
weather so mild that it was not nee
essary. While passing thru Wyoming
where two weeks previous two car
loads of hogs and cattle froze in a
blizzard with temperature of $50
below, it was so warm that they had
the car windows open. Mr.. Krug said
they passed through some nice coun-
try.
The Improvement club and their
families were "at home" at the club
house on Saturday evening of last
week in honor of JOS. Hess and bride.
When all were assembled Pres. Lehn-
hard called the company to order and
as pre-arranged, Mr.. Hess was grilled,
complaint being made that while at
Spokane, ostensibly as delegate from
eastern Benton county, pledged to up
hold the present grade and pack rules,
he neglected this duty to attend a
purely personal engagement. Mr.. Hess
replied humorously defending himself,
and then seriously, thanking the club
for the kindly welcome extended Mrs.
Hess and himself. j. w. Vickers, on
behalf of the club, presented Mrs.
Hess with beautiful cut glass berry
dish. The formalities finished, the
party proceeded to have jolly good
time. Mrs. E. H. Mann, Mrs. E. o.
King and F. H. Krug favored the
audience with several solos and Grin
Smith and Mrs. Whiting furnished the
music for the dancing which followed.
Mrs. F. H. Krug and Mrs. Liebel were
in charge of the refreshments and
served awfully good "eats" and coffee
and lots of it.
At the meeting of the Highlands
club last Friday evening Lee Lampson

explanatory talk on the rural credits
law. Application blanks were given
out to enable him to more readily get
in touch with those who were DESTROYS
of taking advantage of the new law.
