New orchard planting has been quite general In Mendocino county this winter and many hundred acres of new trees have been set out, The Agures are not complete since there 4 are still some weeks of the planting season.

There have been some prune shipments from Oregon that show peach root borers and other shipments of pear stock have been condemned because of root aphis.

The borers have also been found in myrobolan or plum root stock. Franquette walnut seems to be the favorite for planting here and about fifty acres have been set out. This is the only nut. grown commercially, but wherever the Italian chestnut has been tried, it has thriven wonderfully and borne remarkable crops.

CLUB WOMEN SEEK SUITABLE LOCATION FOR HANDSOME HOME GROWING MEMBERSHIP FORCES BUILDING OF PERMANENT QUARTERS THIS YEAR. (By Press Correspondent.) On Saturday, the Saturday Afternoon Club held a thoroughly enjoyable session at the home of Mrs.

F. A. Rea, Mrs. Rea and Mrs. Percy Handy being the 'hostesses for the afternoon.

It takes something more than a steady downpour of rain to dampen the ardor of 8. club woman, as was manifest when the commodious receiving-rooms of the Rea residence were comfortably well-filled with enthusiastic members. Following a lengthy business session, Miss Vivian Place in an entertaining paper discussed The Position of Women in Different Countries. A consideration of this subject demon- strated that it is good to be an American woman. In the absence of Mrs.

Maxwell, who was programmed for Folk Songs, Miss Marguerite Thomas, with Mrs. Robherd Thomas at the piano, delighted the members with songs, representative of different nations: Annie Laurie, Scotch; Cockles and Mussels, Irish; Neapolitan Boat Song, Italian; The Lorelei, German. Mrs. Kasch read an excellent paper on Inimigrant Women, giving incidents and statistics to prove that America owes much to the immigrant, and to the immigrant woman in particular. Raviolas Are Enjoyed The hostesses were assisted in serving by Mrs.

J. N. Rea and Miss Dorothy Handy, and the guests enjoyed the appetizing raviolas--for which Mrs. Rea is famous--and the delicious, hot coffee. All thought that an afternoon so full of good things more than compensated for braving the elements.

The Saturday Afternoon Club is a progressive organization with an ergetic membership, that is not afraid of work, as its efforts for civic improvement and for the benefit of the schools of the city have demonstrated. The club has entered upon an area of unprecedented prosperity and its outlook for the future betokens still greater prosperity. It has now an active membership of forty---the limit in number- a waiting list of some length. To meet the demands of its growing membership, the Club has decided that it needs a clubhouse; the Club has decided that it will build a clubhouse, and what the Club decides to do, that, it will do. Other towns no larger than Ukiah--some not So large--boast of a clubhouse, so why not one in Ukiah.

Ukiah will have a clubhouse. History of the Club The city points with pride to the Carnegie Library, which materialized through the efforts of the Saturday Afternoon Club. It points to other improvements which were effected by the Club, and it will, at no very distant day we hope, exult in the added a attraction of a beautiful little clubhouse. In prosecuting this work for themselves, the Club members will still be working for the good of the city, as a building of this kind, considered from every viewpoint, architecturally, socially, intellectually and--yes, financially, is a valuable asset to any town. So may encouragement in the shape of good wishes and-something more substantial--be given the Club in the projected work.

The president, Miss Carrie Garsey, will appoint a committee, to secure a site for the Club house. POTTER VALLEY WOMAN PASSES AWAY IN OREGON The body of Mrs. Minne Lee, daughter of James McFarland, a Potter valley pioneer, who died in Oregon January 9, was shipped here last week for burial in the family plot.

Experiments at Doctor Pierce's Hospital for several years proved that there is no other eliminator of uric acid that can be compared to it. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation -as backache, scalding urine and frequent urination, as well as sediment if uric acid in the blood "has caused rheumatism, it is simply wonderful how surely "An-uric" acts. The best of results are always obtained in cases of acute rheumatism in the joints, in gravel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which so: frequently and persistently accompany the disease rapidly disappear. Go to your nearest drug store and simply ask for a 50-cent package of An-uric," manufactured by Dr. Pierce, or even write Doctor Pierce for a free sample.

If you suspect kidney or bladder trouble, send him a sample of your water and describe symptoms. Doctor Pierce's chemist will examine it, then Dr. Pierce will report to you, without fee or charge. An-uric" is thirty-seven times active than lithia in eliminating uric acid, and is a harmless but reliable chemical compound that may be safely given to children.
