The January number OF Little Folks, a
ew magazine for small children, is ready.
The coming Of this magazine marks an
epoch in children's periodicals.. for there
is nothing comparable to it. The best
writers for little people and the best
artists are found in its pages. 1t is clean
and wholesome, and the little folks will
read it until they know it by heart. The
paper and press work are of the best, and
it is more prcfusely illustrated than the
best magazines for grown up people. We
recommend it to our readers who have
children from two to ten years of age

Dick Case verified his reputation OF
being a fast fighter Friday night by
scoring six knock downs in round and
half with Billy Elmer at Portland. In
the first round Elmer was knocked down
once, and in the second five times. He
could not have lasted minute more, and
had not the police interfered, Case would
have been the victor. As it was, how
ever, when Elmer went down for the
sixth time, the police jumped into the
ring, and it was off. 1t WAS declared a
draw. The action OF the police robbed
Case of decision, and he was naturally
displeased. About 600 spectators were
present.

ment, so simple that it cannot get out of
order. 1t

people are becoming aroused and hope to
live to see the change"
Fruit Inspector Beck intends finishing
up the inspection OF orchards in Yakima
county as soon as the weather will per-

and spray, and especially the latter, as
the law requires it where there are evi.
dences of fruit pests.
"A word to the wise is sufficient"
You cannot afford to let your orchard 90
without sprawl OF pruning; neither can
you afford to buy your spraying appa-
ratus or pruning goods without first see
ing the Yakima Hardware Company.
