It is just a little mining town, peo pled by a hardy, industrious set of people, but it is showing to the world how neighbors and frieqds may “dwell together in unity.” We have said that it is a mining town, but it is more: that the people are hardy and industrious, but they are more: they have the true com munity spirit—they are real neigh bors. This little town has conceived and put into force some community plans that might well be copied by other towns; Of course almost everi family in the town owns and culti vates its own garden and "truck' patches, but this is not all. A fen years ago the mine superintendent. ; man of considerable learning and of » progressive spirit, conceived the plan of having all the citizens of the town own and cultivate a small tract of land in common. Five or six acres were first bought and cultivated as a “community farm." The result was a pronounced success, and eacn year thereafter the tow-n added to its hold ings until this past season it had about one hundred acres under culti vation on the “community” plan, and the people announce their intention of branching out still further. Now there would be nothing out of the common in this if the experiment had not developed some gratifying results. First, they discovered that instead of fifteen or twenty families (about the number interested in the "com munity”) each having to own and maintain a team, three or four teams were amply sufficient. Again they discovered that instead of fifteen or twenty sets of agricul tural implements being needed, only three or four of each kind were neces sary, and of some, only one—a great saving all must admit. Each stock holder bears his pro rata share of expenses and furnishes his pro rata amount of labor. Briefly, the plan has proven such a success that the community now has its own silo, blooded hogs and cattle, and last year their exhibits led all others at their county fair. But these are not all of the results. The close business association neces sary in the successful working out of the plans has developed a spirit of community brotherhood that is a pleasure to witness. In this little town is exemplified a typical brother hood of man. The welfare and com fort of the most humble is as care fully looked after as that of the most wealthy. They have a splendid school, church, Sunday school, and recently a commodious club house has been erected that is proving a power for good to both vouue men and older ones. We have briefly sketched the re sults of this community plan of co operation as showing what a true community spirit will accomplice Many features of interest have neces sarily been omitted from this article from lack of space. But should any other community desire to know more of their workings, a letter addressed to the postmaster will receive prompt and courteous answer and full infor mation will be given of plans that can not fail to benefit any community. THE SICK LIST Wm. Graefe is reported as improv ing and is resting easy. Ira Hiddleson, who was operated on for appendicitis, is improving. F. E. Brewer is about the same, with no improvement in his condition noticeable. Walter Moon has been seriously ill for several days with a stroke of paralysis. Henry Jenner went to Omaha, Wed nesday, where he will spend a few days on business, A SCARCITY IN PENNIES. Even though the number of the rich who are growing richer has been rapidly increasing, yet everybody must have pennies. While there may be bales of greenbacks and cur rency, and wagon loads of gold, still the money market is never evenly balanced when pennies run shy. Civ ilization depends upon copper, since otherwise the boy who sells papers would lose a large part of his patron age; and the gum machine would fail in performing its proper func tion in case the copper cent failed to lurk within the pockets of city dwellers. The shortage of pennies might have been expected, as there ts always something running shy. One week it is milk, and then the hens re fuse to lay in proper quantities. Now the treasury department has gotten behind, with the result that Wall Street and the other streets haven't pennies enough to make change. The Philadelphia and San Francisco mints had to steam up and run twenty-four hours a day, and the Denver mint is operating on a sixteen hour schedule. The use of the copper coins has in creased at an enormous rate, per haps because there is an extra penny added on bread, the same thing has happened with the price of milk. In deed it is becoming quite the usual thing for prices to end in odd pennies. Perhaps it is not unreasonable to pre diet that the man who shines shoes will soon charge eleven cents; and hair cuts may go to twenty-seven cents a scalp. In view of the frequeht strikes even the street cars might consider raising their fares from a nickel to six cents. HOW TO SAVE FROZEN APPLES. Apples which have been frozen on the tree may be saved if they are not touched until they have thawed out. is the word that conies from the hor ticultural section of the Nebraska Ex periment Station. If picked before completely thawed out, the frozen apples will blacken and decompose where touched. If picked after thawing, they can be stored suc cessfully in the usual manner unless frozen too hard or thawed too quick ly. A good method of storing apples is to bury them in a straw-lined hole and cover them with 3 or 4 inches of straw, and a layer of dirt of the same depth. When this has frozen, add an other layer of straw and another of dirt. A third cap of straw and dirt should be sufficient to keep them through an ordinary winter. MEET AT SAME ~t7mE IN OMAHA. For the first time in the history of the two organizations, the Nebraska Farmers' Congress and the Mid-West Implement Dealers' Association will hold their meetings at the same time in Omaha. The dates are December 1 to 14. The simultaneous meetings will give the delegates to the congress an opportunity to view machinery ex hibits which will include all kinds of agricultural machinery.
