Southwest Washington Fair.

Chehalis. Wash, Aug. 23.-The
southwest Washington fair, which is
to be held between Chehalis and Gen.
tralia, September 1924, received
strong boost at the meeting of the
Southwest Washington Development
association in Hoquiam last week.
The association recommended that
each of the ten counties In south
western Washington allied with the
association should begin work at once
on arranging the county exhibits for
the southwest Washington fair. 1t
is the intention. if possible, to have
these exhibits taken to the state fair
at North Yakima, which is to be held
the following week, all the exhibits
together to be known as the South
west Washington exhibit.
1t was also recommended that out
of this southwest Washington exhibit
be secured and maintained the year
around permanent exhibit In Ia
coma, Seattle and Portland under the
commercial clubs in those cities.
These clubs have offered the neces-
sary space and agreed to give the
exhibits care.
Secretary Barnes of the association
will spend practically all OF his time
this summer and fall on the read
visiting the different commercial
clubs in the southwest territory. He
has promised to talk southwest Wash
ington fair wherever he goes.
It was recomn ended by the associa-
ton, and will probably be carried
out, that a special man be placed on
the road at once to visit the different
commercial clubs in the ten counties
in southwe stern Washington and aid
in working up exhibits for the fair.
This will help enlarge the fair exhibits

it is claimed that it is better ii
ground and not burned at all.
The Rex spray, which is nothing
but the lime-sulphur wash, may be
used as a spray in the winter time to
kill moss. 1t will be beneficial also
in killing the spores OF the fungi.
The black rot is not something dis
tinct from the fungi but is the work
of certain fungus. Remember that
fungi is the plural of fungus. There
are thousands of fungi known to
scientists but the black rot is the
work Of only one fungus.

Need of Beds for consumptives.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
says that in seven states, Alabama.
Idaho. Montana. Nevada. Oklahoma,
Wyoming and Utah. with combined
population of over 100000. not one
bed for consumptives has been pro-
vided. In nine states and territories.
Alaska, Delaware. Florida, Kansas.
Mississippi. South Carolina. South Da-
kota. Vermont and West Virginia. the
number of beds for consumptives In
each case is less than fifty, while the
combined population of these states is
over 100000. On the basis Of 400
deaths to a million of population.
which is approximately the present
rate in the United States. there would
be nearly 5000 deaths annually from
tuberculosis in these IA states. with at
least 10000 cases of this disease all
the time, and less than 500 beds to
care for them.

KEEP YOUR FEET STRAIGHT.

How many men know how to walk? Most men
turn their toes in or out. writer in the New York
Press says. The toes should not be turned either
way. They ought to point straight ahead. so that
the foot at the end Of each step give the body
that upward, forward impetus that results in what
is called a springy walk. This does not mean that
a man should walk exclusively on his toes. The
whole foot must be used In proper walking. The
goose step OF the German army is as absurd as the
boys prank of walking on his heels.
When a man walks In the right way-speakinr
literally-the back Of the heel strikes the ground
first Then the rest Of the heel comes down, after
which the outer edge Of the foot takes the bulk of
the burden until the forward movement shifts the
weight to the ball Of the foot and finally to the
toes. The ideal step is a slightly rocking motion
At no time should the entire foot be pressed
against the ground. Heel to toe is the movement

been experienced at Audanl and the neigh
borhood. Great packs Of famished wolves
have swarmed down from the mountains
and invaded the town. A party of horse
men arrived at full speed at Audani. being
pursued right into the town by a pack of
over 200 wolves. The riders, who owed
their lives to the fleetness Of their horses,
had set out to tell the town authorities
that the farms, ranches and plantations in
the neighborhood were beseiged by fero-
cious animals and that the inmates were
prisoners. Several farmers who dared to
venture out had been devoured.
Next day the weather cleared somewhat
and the authorities organized huge hunt
headed by the civil guards and detach-
ments of infantry and cavalry. Although
there was tremendous slaughter of the
wolves many got away to their mountain
homes and 1t is feared that they will soon
return. Eighteen Of the hunting party re-
ceived injuries.

KING LIKES CROOKED STREETS
Prefers PictureHqueness to the Mod

Europe.

SEVILLE, March 19.-(Special to the
Publishers Press )-During his recent visit
here King Alfonso discussed with Senior
de Tena the plans OF the municipality for
the widening of the streets of Seville. The
king expressed regret that some OF the
ancient winding streets Of the city were
to be replaced by ordinary straight thor
Oughfares in the common European fashion.
The king added that 1t would undoubtedly
be well to widen and straighten many OF
the streets, but that It would be regrettable
to reconstruct all those which give to
Seville It's quaint and picturesque aspect
The kings remarks are very favorably
commented on and there is a general hope
that the calle slerpe in particular will not
be altered.
The king explained TO Senior de Tena
other plans OF his own, among them the
construction within the Alcazar OF lawn
tennis, croQuet and other courts.
