Polly some mince pie that he discov-
cred that the weary girl had eaten
little Of the dinner and then fallen
asleep In her nest OF blankets.
For . long time he watched the
changing lights on her sweet face as
the branches tossed In the wind: then.
softly he arose and approached the
little pine tree standing In the middle
OF the clearing.
The cones were silvered with snow
and It looked like a Christmas tree
decorated for q festival
Derrick opened his suit case and
brought out sundry white packages.
These he tied to the tree with colored
cord. Gay toys for the Ferguson chill
dren were added until the little tree
stood forth bravely in its fne attire.
Polly" he called softly. "Polly!"
Polly sat up with startled eyes seek
ing his face. For the instant she had
forgotten their misunderstanding. but
suddenly their light clouded.
Come here. Polly. and see our
Christmas tree" urged Derrick.
Reluctantly she came. . rose flush
straining her pale cheeks. But yet her
red lips were obstinately set in .
straight line.
This Is our Christmas tree. Polly,
dear" said Derrick In a low tone.
Yours and mine! Shall we be happy
and enjoy not only this one. but many.
many others after. please God! Say,
dear"
"Oh. Derrick. how wicked of us to
quarrel when we should be happyl I
am SO sorry!" sobbed Polly In Der
rick's coat sleeve.
And SO am land now I'm glad"
said Derrick after a time. Now. let's
enjoy our own particular tree before
anyone comes! shall be Santa
Claus-and you may be Mrs. Santa
Claus!'
blushed Polly as she hastened away.
An hour afterward Ralph Ferguson
brought a sleighioad OF merrymakers
In search OF them. Together they sat
demurely on = log before a dying fire
Near by stood . little pine tree. pow.

EFFORT TO DEFEAT la FEAN BILL

way they spray same, I think ,ha.
we will lave no trouble whatever IN
getting rid of our fruit at good
price.
| was in an orchard in Madison
county, Illinois, when they were
spraying for the San Jose scale and
they were using creasote 1 do not
know what success they had as
only staid a few minutes, but they
had quite good deal of scale. The
best orchards 1 saw were in Missouri,
but most of them are badly infested
with scale and all with codling moth.
Now as they want some legislation
on the apple and the apple box,
would it not be wise for us to get
something that would suit us and
our box and try to get it made into
lit may be that they will quit now,
but / do not think so. / think that
they will try another bill at the next
session as they are in earnest and
are hard workers; but we will have
more on our side next time, as there
are lots of people who are getting
interested now that were not before.
All of the box people that l have
met, except Colorado, are in favor Of
our box. Colorado thinks that all of
the apples will be sold by the peck
as soon as the trees that are set out
are in full bearing; only for that they
would be in favor of our box. At
present they think that the large box
will be in more demand as it will
hold more If the pack is not good.
We had half bushel measure in
the committee room and filled it
twice out of one of our boxes, to the
committees satisfaction.
1 could not find any of our apples
that were sold by the peck or ever
had been. They are sold by the box,
by the piece or by the dozen.
There was only Washington and
Oregon represented. I was disap-
pointed in Idaho and Montana, as
was led to believe that they would
be represented and do their part in
defeating the bill, but Oregon did her
part and the boys deserve great Gre
dit for their part in the work.

Lafean apple box bill,

FROM CHELAN COUNTY,
WRITES OF TRIP AND EXPERT
ENCE BEFORE COMMITTEE.
Cashmere, Wash, April 10.
Wenatchee Daily World:

cashmere, wash, April IL.
Wenatchee Daily World:
AS it is too late in the season and
too busy time to call a horticultu-
raj meeting to make my report, |
will make a short report through the
World as to my trip to Washington.
I left here the morning of March
and arrived in Washington, D. c.,
on the morning of the 18th. I went
to Senator w. L. Jones Office and
he sent one of his clerks to conduct
me to the committee room. The
committee was in session when I got
there 1 found Mr.. Monroe and the
three lobbyists from Oregon there.
We all addressed the committee and
gave some demonstrations with the
few apples that we had. We had
the six boxes that Monroe took with
him and two that the Oregon men
brought, so we made some very good
demonstrations with them at this
meeting
Gibson, of the Gibson Fruit Co., of
Chicago, and Wagner, of the Wagner
Fruit Co., of Chicago, made some
demonstrations for the bill but ours
was more effective and appealed to
the committee more fully than theirs.
Then the committee adjourned for
five days. This gave me time for my
apples to arrive and for me to get
acquainted, so when the committee
met again I put my apples on exhibit
ton in the committee room. I had
ten sizes from 48 down to $3.50
boxes in ALL
meeting, and then told the commit
tee to help themselves, to examine
the apples and to see if there was
anything wrong with the box or pack.
Then it was that they began to see
that to enlarge the box meant the
breaking up of our pack. The ap-
pies were what did the work as they
could see better, after they had ex-
amined the apples and the pack,
why they would not fit in a larger
box, especially after we had made
the demonstrations in packing, than
they could by just our talk without
the apples.
Mr.. Hawley, congressman from
Oregon, is great friend to the
northwest box and a great worker
for it. In fact all of the northwest
congressman and senators-especial-
ly Poindexter and w. l.. Jones-are
our friends.

per cent of the apples that are on

are very scarce in those markets.

is carrying with him an automobile tire
and as he grabs a deck chair and plants
himself facing the water he also places his
feet on the bench that adjoins the railing

on other chairs set side by side or sprawl
over the side bench. giving onlookers the
