Thla Is only a part of the good promised as a result from the National Horticultural congress to tia held In Council fluffs simultaneously with the National Corn exhibition In Omaha next December. Prof. P. Q. Holden of the Iowa Agricul tural college at Ames met the members of the Couitcll Bluffs' Commercial club and tha Coupcll Bluffs Grape Growers' associa tion Tuesday evening and the subject of tha horticultural congress was discussed. In Omaha, Wednesday. "Prof. Holden said: There Is need for the horticultural congress and wa will be glad It It la taken hold of by the Council Bluffs business men with tha same enthusiasm tuey have taken hold Of tha corn show both there and In Omaha. I "Among the tMngs which It is possible to demonstrate at the horticultural congress, Ja the storage of summer fruits. "Thla means a great thing economically and when wa consider that there are but two pl'icvs In the United States where (rape aa rich, can be grown as on the southeast slopes Of the Pottawattamie county hills, it la tiros we were doing some thing to encourage the grape culture and make it mora profitable." 1 . - , Wkat Com Ba Dotr, According to the experts jtbe grapes of Pottawattamie conntjr are' how picked ind fnarketed within three or four weeks.

'i.'i if may te thnt fonrl I r uoieiomo claim there Is a way to spray the fruit and the vines to keep the fruit sound and healthy and then there Is a method of storing the big bunches of rich native fruit and keeping It for the holiday trade. The rrlce Is low during the two or three weeks of summer; then consumers pay as much per pound for Imported grapes as they pay for a basket of the native fruit In the sum mer season. "The methods demonstrated at the horticultural congress will make the grape industry no profitable that those who own the hills cannot allow them to grow up In brush and srrve as cow puntuies and hunt ing grounds," they affirm. Then the apple growers are to havo their li..ilng and learn from the experts and from the demonstrations which will be mado how to keep the summer apples until tho holidays. In summer the particular variety known as "Wealthles" sell for 30 to 40 cents per bushel. If stored and kept until Christmas It will bring from 75 cents to J1.60 per bushel. After discussing the proposition Tuesday evening the business men of Council Bluffs decided to go ahead with the plans for the horticultural congress, which was origi nally planned to ho held In connection with the corn show. The corn show Is rapidly outgrowing the original plans and It be camo necessary to send the fruit show across the river. S. R. McKclvIo has started a move to secure S1,CX for premiums for Nebraska corn exhibitors besides the regular pre miums to be offered by the National Corn Growers' association. It Is the aim of Mr. McKelvie to make Nebraska come to the front as the greatest corn state In the union and the $1,000 will be for the best exhibits of Nebraska corn only.

Naturally, a man laid up in bed with rheumatism would be Interested In anything that treated on that subject. Ac cordingly when I read of the theory ad vanced by L. T.

"I sent to the Beaton drug store for bottle of the New Discovery medicine and began taking it. The first bottle worked like magic. In a few dais I was able to walk.

Grooms with the first fuzz of manhood on their lips a.id brides that look as though thty should be wearing shoetop ."kirts will . hnve to produce posltlvo evi dence of their age before they can wed In Omaha, under a regulation Just promul Htd by County Judge Islie. The Bifi da vlt of he young man will no longer go with the license department, where there Is any reason to . doubt, the couple are umier age. The reason for the- rule was the mar riage T'.iesd ty afternoon by Judge Leslie of John K. Meislion, a larbr at the Mer chants' hotel shop and Goldie Houck. Mershon made an affidavit he was 21 years old, but Wednesday morning his mother, Mrs. Oliver Mershon, called Judge Leslie up by telephone and told him the boy would be 18 Thursday. The Nebraska law positively forbids the marriage of a boy under IS, consequently. If the mother'a statement Is true the marriage Is Invalid. While the bride's mother and relatives were present at the ceremony, the groom's rela tives knew nothing of It until after It had taken place. Before he tied the knot Judge Leslie asked tlio young groom his age and he answered very positively he was 21. Will Proneente Hereafter, "t am going to Investigate this case fur ther," said Judge Leslie, "and I don't know Just what I will do In regard to it. But I am ready to announce positively the next time I find a case where a false affidavit has been made regarding the age of either of the parties I am going to turn the mutter over to the county attorney with a request that he prosecute. The pracllce will have to stop. Fuither than this. I am going to require hereafter, when I have any doubt that the parties are of age, that they furnish positive evidence that they are competent to marry. The affidavit will not bo sufficient. Other evidence must bo given before the license will be Is sued." Shortly after the Mershon wedding an other couple was turned down by Mar rlago License Clerk Furay. A man evi dently 40 years old, accompanied by a lrl In skirts that reached about to her shoe tops, applied for a license. The man was under the Influence of liquor. The girl said she was 21, but she could not give the year of her birth. Mr. Furay, under the direction of Judge Leslie, refused the li cense. The couple left the room and a few minutes later they both returned. "I was born In 1875," said the girl. "That would moke you 33 years old said Mr. Furay. "1 can't Issue a license to a drunken man, anyway." The couple drilled out. They said they were from Harlan, la.

Captain John Keith, a pioneer and lead lng stockman of western Nebraska, and after whom Kcllh county Is named. Is in Omaha, after a visit of several months in California and Arizona. "I must first deny the story of my mar riage while away," said Mr. Keith. "I do not know how It got out.' There Is no ground for it whatever. I saw Ed Howell of Omaha while at Phoonl.'it Arizona, and he looked remarkably well."' While at Los Angeles I saw Euclid Martin, lyid also visited Hollywood, i the new 4unner iiome of Mr. Wattles. It is a beauty, one c f the finest In the state. Arizona and California are good places to visit to get rid of the chilly blasts of 'winter, but for a good all round climate give me Nebraska every time. It is strange how many Nebraska people you will meet when traveling In out-of-the-way sections. I believe that the Nebraskans are the greatest travelers In the United States, You will find a Ne braska friend wherever you go, and tha beauty of It Is they always have a good word for . Nebraska. It Is becoming one of the best advertised states In the union. Omaha Is getting to be known everywhere. And let me say right here that Nebraska and Omaha deserve every good word that can be said of them. I know what I am talking about, for I've been there. It pays a Nebraskan to go away from homo for a while to learn to appreciate Just what a grand old state he lives in." PRAISE FOR JiV H.

Queer complaints havo begun to pour Into the office of the probation officer as the result of the near arrival of spring and tho consequent exuburant feelings of the averago small boy who must work off a certain amount of surplus energy. Men who forget that they were boys themselves once, file these complaints, as the proba tion officer puts It. One of the complaints on file is a request to restrain the neighbor's "kids" from flying their kites over the complainant's yard as the paper tails become disengaged and falling to the ground litter the yard. Another man objects to the boys roller skating on his cement sildewalk as they would wear out his w-alk before Its time.
