SUCCESS
Estimated Over 500 People in
Attendance-IOwa Joins
State Association

Two hundred families were repre-
sented at the big Kansas Missouri
Iowa state picnic held Friday at De
wey grove, and it was voted one Of
the big successes of the season.
As direct result of the picnic two
permanent organizations were per.
fected, one an Iowa association anc
the other a Missouri-Kansas organi-
zation, and annual picnics will be held
in the future.
Committees had arranged long ia
bles in the grove for the accomoda-
ton of the picnickers, but it was ear
ly foreseen that these would not ac-
commodate the large crowds arriving
and the overflow spread their lunch
on the benches and seats and even on
the grass in the grove Registrations
showed that 72 families were repre-
sented from Iowa, 65 from Missouri
and 50 from Kansas After the pic
mic dinner the large crowd assembled
in the pavilion where an excellent
program was given as follows:
Vocal Duet-Mrs. r. G. Newcomer
and C. L tiamaae.

and Janet Hawkins.
Iowa-Miss Katharine Mann.

Motz.

Due to the falling of prunes. the
tonnage has been reduced in the past
few weeks to about so per cent of a
normal crop. In some orchards, es-
pecially the older ones, there will
hardly be 40 per cent of crop. The
younger trees are holding the fruit
better, and some orchards report only
slight dropping. The prune crop
in the entire state is affected by fall
ing fruit.

River Low.

The water in the river has fallen
rapidly during the past week or so.
Tuesday it became necessary for the
Last Chance Ditch company to throw
out temporary dam in order to get
enought water to fill their ditch, and
it is rumored that the Farmers Coop.
will have to do the same. The first
of the week the Emmett Irrigation
district lowered their dam at the Pay
cite lake outlet, and quite an increase
in water sent down. This will relieve
the water stringency considerable, and
will probably tide the irrigation COM
panies over the season without them
cutting down the supply.

five feet of Roy, with six bullets in
