used.

Fair Maids to the Rescue of the “Cherry King”
(« 1IICAGO.—Thirty Sunday school girls from St. Payl’s and St. James’
=*• churches are back after cherry picking at Fish Creek, Wis., for the
Sturgeon Bay Fruit Growers’ association. The girls went to the orchards of
('•'rdinand Hotz, “cherry king.” The
real fun commenced when the girls
were turned loose in the orchard.
Crammed with joie de vie, a playful
hair-pulling contest developed. A
dozen farmerettes went A. W. O. L. to
the bathing beach. The rest climbed
trees and made faces at Mr. Hotz
because he was rude when he ordered
them down. The cherry magnate
shook his fist and threatened to sell
everybody down the river. A barrage —
of cherries drove him back to the
house, threatened with apoplexy. On the first afternoon the farmerettes
formed a soviet government and sent word to Mr. Hotz that they would pick
cherries for 50 cents a crate, thereby boosting the price 18 cents.
It was discovered that by shaking the trees the cherries came down of
their own accord. But before the girls could pick the cherries up some one dis
covered an automobile that ran, and some horses presented themselves in a
near-by pasture.
Two weeks passed and Mr. Hotz gathered up heart and strength to visit
his fair orchards. One moment later he streaked to the house and sent a wire
to Rev. Frederick Gratiot, assistant rector of St. James.
The minister arrived the next day, heard the girls’ story and smiled. But
not for long. That afternoon he exercised himself by climbing on top of the
girls’ house to mend the roof. Beholding which, the girls removed the ladder.
Rev. Mr. Gratiot made his descent on a rainpipe.
The girls are of the opinion that the “cherry king” will employ male help
next year.
NENANAITES TO ELECT
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
b _
The property owners of Nenana are
beginning a movement looking to the
election of a board of trustees to suc
ceed the advisory board, according to
recent mail advices received from the
Interior town. An election will soon
be held to determine the willingness
of the people to change the form of
local government and to learn whether
or not the people desire to take ad-1
vantage of the provision^ of the law !
enacted at the last session of the ter
ritorial legislature, which gives to
towns located along the route of the
{ government railroad the privilege of
electing a board of trustees with prac
tically all of the powers of a board of
aldermen in incorporated towns.—

CLAIMS TO BE NEPHEW
OF KING OF MONTENEGRO
ANACONDA, Mont., Oct. 9 (by As- j
sociated Press).—Louis Jukanovich, a
machinist in the employ of the smelter
here, declares that he is a nephew of
former King Nicholas and Queen Mi
lena of Montenegro, and a cousin of ;
Queen Helena of Italy. His brother, i
Elijah V. Jukanovich, is in the service
of the American Red Cross in Monte
negro. He left here two years ago to
1 become an interpreter, loss of an eye
having prevented his entrance into
the military service.
Many of his relatives, Jukanovich
says, are m Serbian prisons, among |
them Marko Jukanovich, a cousin,
who, he says, served as minister of
state during the rule of King Nich
olas. The fact that his brother, like
himself, is an American citizen, keeps
him out of difficulty with the Serbian
authorities, Jukanovich says.
