Babies May Be BOyCOtted

New York, March 8.-Peevish per-
sons who have been complaining about
the increased cost of living will be
asked to press the soft pedal and be
thankful they are here at all when they
learn that it costs from $25 to $50
more to be born now than it did ten
years ago.
The chances are they would not be
here to murmur if they had to pay the
excessive initiation fee that is being
charged nowadays. In common with
everything else, the fare from fairyland
to New York has gone up by leaps and
bounds since Stork & Co., the passen-
ger agents on this line, have monop-
oily. A protest to the public service
commission is seriously thought of.
Ten years ago ticket which landed
you on earth cost SIS, with few dol
lars extra for the services of white
capped conductress, but now the sur
geon who acts for the new member de-
mands from $50 to SIS. Thousands
of infants cannot afford the trip. The
increased cost in manner accounts for
the number of tuinc and trinletS as
Stork & Co. give a special rate to par
ties of two or more.
1t is true that more is charged in
these cases." remarked prominent

Should Prune Late in Winter

In discussing the question as to
when is the best time to prune fruit
trees, Prof. w. S. Thornber, of the
Washington State Agricultural College,
says:
Pruning can be divided into two
periods. Summer pruning, which in
this part of the country should be done
during the month of July, for the pur-
pose OF producing fruit spurs and fruit
buds, and winter pruning, which might
best be done on most fruit trees dur
ing the latter part Of the winter, with
the idea of wood production as the par
amount issue. prefer to prune young
trees during the latter part OF the win
ter, because l want them to produce a
large quantity of wood, and since most
OF our trees here in Washington over
bear or attempt to produce more fruit
than they should, it is not necessary to
practice summer, pruning in order to
make them productive, so we practice
as whole winter pruning. | find many
of our fruit growers DESTROYS OF pruning
their trees early in the fall or winter.
This | consider a good plan where
there is no danger of heavy freezing
weather, but a dangerous practice in
localities where occasionally the Their
mometer is liable to go IS to 80 de-
grees below zero. Apples will stand
pruning earlier in the winter than
almost any other fruit that we have.
Peaches should be left until as late in
the winter as possible. By doing this
we frequently protect the buds that
would be otherwise injured. I may
state that our growers in this state will
come to practice more and more as
they get experience in this matter, late
winter. pruning in preference to early
winter pruning"

Instead of town curfew every fam

which is inexpensive and can be made
at home. Take piece of siding two

Announcement is made by the West

is prepared to handle long night mes

Plain Facts About the Comet

To arrive at any definite conclusion
as to the danger from comets it is nee
essary to know their nature, or of what
they are composed. According to the
latest hypothesis comet is but a
swarm OF small meteoric particles
widely separated, each particle carrying
with it a gaseous envelope in which
light is produced either by electric dis
charge or by some action due to the
rays of the sun. AS to the size of the
constituent particles, opinions differ
widely. Professor Newton calls. comet
gravel bank" others say it is a
mere dust cloud.
Another matter TO be considered in
a question of this nature is the mass
and density of comets. AS to these
values there are but negative results;
that is, less than certain values. The
upper limit" of this value is a mass of
one-hundred thousandth that of
the earth, but as to how much less
these celestial wanderers weigh, it is
not known. Since the mass is so small
and the volume so great, it neces-
sarily follows that the density OF comets
must be extremely small. Thus, if
the head OF comet so, 900 miles in
diameter has mass OF one-one hun
bred thousandth that of the earth, its
mean density is about one-six thous7
andth that of the air at the earth's Sur
face. AS for the tail, that must be in
finitely lower yet, far below that of any
vacuum obtainable by any means
known to science.
1t is also a question of much impor-
lance to know the chemical compost
ton of comet in order that the dam
age resulting from the contact of a
comet with the earth might be deter
mined. Comets generally consist OF
carbon combined with hydrogen; that
is, dydro-carbon, free hydrogen, sodi-
UNI, magnesium, iron and possibly nj
trogen and oxygen. OF these chemi-
Gals the only ones to be feared in an
encounter are the hydrocarbons, as
they might cause combustion of the
earth's atmosphere.
Another factor is the comets veloc-
ity thru space. At the earth's distance
from the sun the velocity is about 26
miles second, while that of the earth
is but Is ID miles second. Hence
it is believed that the heat from the
friction of the PARTICLES composing the
comet on entering our atmosphere
would consume them before reaching
the surface OF the earth.
Again, the earth has had experience,
for on two other occasions the earth
has encountered comets. On June 80,
1861, and in 1919, the earth passed
thru the tail Of large comet and the
only noticeable phenomena was pc
culiar sky-glare, and even this was not
noticed except by those who knew be-
forehand Of the encounter.
Summing up the evidence il is seen
that if comets weigh tons the bonn
bardment will be serious; if pounds
only they perhaps will do some mis-
chief; but if only ounces or grains they
will burn in the air like shooting stars
and there would simply be brilliant
meteoric shower, and this decidedly
is the most probable as well as the
most comfortable hypothesis,

Edmonds on Tuesday last joined
the rapidly growing list of dry towns in
the state of Washington. By a ma
jority OF 81 this city OF industry climbed
up on the water wagon. The fight
was started by the Socialists, aided la
ter by the church element, and below
all a strong anti-gang sentiment. 1t
was felt that the saloon people and the
water front crowd had ruled things
long enough, and to get back at the
gang many dry" vote was recorded
which at heart was vote against clique
domination. Two of the most impor-
tant factors in the campaign were
speeches that were not delivered orally.
Mayor Gellatly of Wenatchee, was
scheduled to speak on Sunday night,
but he was stalled in the Cascades.
He sent a six hundred word telegram
which was read with telling effect at
the meeting. Another communication
reached the hands of every Edmonds
voter from a man who said he was in
terested in the smokestack cities and
hated to see them take any step which
would prove disastrous to the CONNER
cial welfare of their city. He said he
had been a student of local option and
found it failed in manufacturing centers.
Written as it was on plain stationery il
aroused no comment until the Anti
Saloon League people circulated pos
tiers stating that the letter was signed

head Of the Royal Arch, the liquor

the vets many votes. Officials of the
