Native Nuts Now Produced. The chief native nuts of Ontario are Hie black walnut, buttornut (wlilte wal- nut), hickory, chestnut, and hazel. Of Intixduced nuts there are Per.'ilan, Jap- anesf, Mancliurlan, and China walnuts, EuroiM'an and Japanese and Chinese chestnuts. pe(«n«, almonda, filberts and tree hazelii.

At that meeting of the club a nominating committee was appointed to choose a woman nominee for the school board. The committee was to report at the next meeting, and the ladies took home a good deal to talk about. "Wal, I snum," said Lew Hall, stamping into the store that night," "there ain't any telling what the world's coming to, that's what. The women don't know what to do next. You heard what's up?" They liad heard. Wisdom village is less than hait a mile long; news had not far to travel, and there were mes- sengers in plenty.
