SUGGESTSbOOSTFR
CLUB TRIPS
JOHN A. GELLATLY ADVOCATES
AUTO TRIPS BY BOOSTER CLUB
MEMBERS TO THE ADJACENT
TOWNS.

AS a result of the enthusiasm in
noculated into everyone who attended
the open meeting last night of the
$4,000 club, Mayor John A. Gellatly
this morning suggested that it is up
to the local club to spread some OF
it's enthusiasm among the neighbor-
ing towns. The suggestion was made
that inasmuch as there are so many
automobiles in the valley at this time
that trips be made to the towns of
Cashmere, Leavenworth, Malaga,
Waterville, Chelan and up-river
points having commercial club or
ganizations. These trips could be
made on the night at which the vari-
Gus clubs meet.
By better acquaintance with the
people of various localities it is
thought that better mutual under
standing can be had and the diff
ferent communities work more in
harmony towards the development of
North Central Washington.
All the smaller communities are
having difficulty in maintaining their
commercial organizations and it is
thought that Wenatchee can be of a
great deal of assistance in keeping up
these outside organizations-both to
the benefit of the home towns and
also of Wenatchee.

will assemble in Columbia, s. c., on
Wednesday for session of two days.
The fact that pellagra is getting a
firm hold in the south has caused the
conference to be called. 1t will be
attended by representatives Of diff
ferent states, many of whom have
had experience in treating the dread
disease.
Other interesting and important
gatherings of the week will include
the annual reunion of the Society Of
the Army of the Tennessee, at Col
umbus, O.: the annual convention of
the Farmers National congress, in
Raleigh. N. c.. and a meeting of the

citation, at Hartman, Tenn.

IS AFTER THE BIC
PRIZES
r. p. WRIGHT WILL MAKE MANY
ENTRIES AT THE NATIONAL
APPLE SHOW-WILL TRY IN
CARLOAD LOTS.

r. P. Wright, Lake Chelan's larg-
est grower of prize-winning winter
apples, came down Wednesday with
the last of a big shipment of apples
whihc he is sending to Spokane for
entry In the National Apple Show
next month. Altogether he has for
warded nearly 900 boxes, and from
these he will repack the choicest for
the show entries.1
He is going after both the big
prizes and the little ones. and a lot
Of them. His collection includes up
wards of SO varieties, but his spez
cialty is the Rome Beauty. He will
enter a straight carload of this va
riety in the carload lot contest, and
the entry will include $50 boxes,
none of which will be smaller than
three and one-half tier. The apples
are all highly colored and Mr.. Wright
declares they are in every way the
finest specimens of the variety he
has ever grown. This is saying a
good deal for the apples for Mr..
Wright has built up his reputation
on this variety and has won many
prizes with them, including the
sweepstakes over all in the ten-box
display at the show last year. If
these are better than those grown
in former seasons, they cannot be
outclassed. He will also enter the
Rome Beauty in the ten-box display
the five-box and several other smaller
and special classes.
He will have several other varie-
ties in the ten-box display. Among
these will be the Yellow Newtown
Pippin. Bellflower, Grimes Golden,
Jonathan, Rhode Island Greening.
King David, and others, and he will
make entries from these varieties in
numberless plate and other displays
There are also some big special
prizes which look good to Mr.. Wright
and he means to capture some of
them. The Stark Bros! Nursery COM
pany of Louisiana, Mo-. is offering
some big specials for exhibits in the
varieties of which this company
makes a speciality. AS his orchard
was planted almost exclusively from
Stark Bros stock and contains a
number of their most popular stand
ard varieties, he Is prepared to make
strong showing in these special
classes.
He will go over to Spokane in
week or ten days to get his exhibits
in shape and will remain until after
the show.
There is no doubt that this big dis
play of Lake Chelan apples will rank
high up In the list of awards cap
turei. Mr.. Wright knows what a
really good apple Is, and he under
stands how to display an exhibit to

The main reasons are that the soil at
