I The session of county assessors, the meetings of the tax commission and llioto of the rural school patrons and the commission appointed to flxup some new plan to run future legislatures so that tho taxpayer may not feel so much of a bur den, have all received their share of at tention and from those meetings Is bound to come an exceedingly amount of real good. The county assessors brought out somo good plans for the tax commis sion to consider in their report. Patrons of the rural school meetings felt that there should be more attention given to the rural districts in tjje education of tho children of the state, and the legislative committee prepared a plan which will be ready for publication In a few days that wll maki) old members of the legislature taVo notice. They ant to cut tho legislature down to one body and mak ethat as small as possible. If that canot be accomplished they will recommend the cutting down of officers, employes, committees and other things and will set out Just what officers shall be elected and Just what employes shall bo appointed. Thirty-one will bo given the house and twenty-five the sen ate. The last session the house exceeded its allotment by law of sixty-seven and tho senate ran over Its amount of fifty.

Twenty Ounce Pippin variety and were of a uni form size, weighing a pound each.
