FRUIT HANDLERS
SHOULD KEEP
NAILS SHORT
Neglect of This Precaution Says
Professor Does Great Harm
to Packed Fruit.

WALLA WALLA, Feb. 1S.-That
fruit packers who permit their fin
ger nails to grow long cause as
much damage to apples as do worm
stings, and that the hard work of
spraying may be undone by having
pickers and packers who do not
trim their nails close enough, was
stated here by Professor w. S.
Briefly of the state agricultural
college, speaking before the fruit
institute.
Fruit raising is COSTLY he con-
tinued. After the Orchardist has
gone to the great expense of plant
ing trees, caring for them and
keeping the fruit in splendid con-
dition up to the time of picking
it, to then carelessly throw away
a large percentage of the value of
the fruit should appear to any one
to be the height of folly.
Yet that is what a majority OF
fruit raisers do through little
carelessness in either picking,
packing, storing or shipping fruit.
Too much emphasis cannot be put
upon care in handling fruit from
the time it is picked until it is put
on the market. And every bit of
attention will bring a good none
tary return

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Dear
Dad: 1t is time for the little fell
lows, the plain citizens, to look into
this business of state rights.
Water power is the bullseye of
the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry tar
get. There is battle on over the
coal in Alaska, and the public for
ests and the public domain. Long
after that Alaskan coal has been
burned, however, the country will
be depending on the water power
that constitutes the real and rich
est prize in this fight between a
few rich grabbers and the people.
The water power grabbers, who
are hiding behind the row that is
raised over Alaska coal, have
seized about all the power sites ex-
cept such as are on public lands.
When the question comes up
Senator Nelson and lot more, to-
gether with a rich lobby and fleet
of newspapers all over the country,
will argue that all water not navi-
gable is the property of the state
within which the water runs. The
General Electric expects to get this
water power if it is turned over to
the states.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-02-18

President Taft supports this
proposition on strictly legal
grounds, of course. So, of course,
does Ballinger. They hold as law
less and illegal the methods which
Roosevelt and Pinchot took to keep
the hands of the grabbers off the
fuel of the future.
The doctrine of state rights, shot
to pieces in 1906, is reviving in
Washington. Privileges and monop-
oily find the federal government
harder to handle every day, even
during a friendly administration
The public has grown too wise to
what goes on in Washington, and
pays too close attention.
BUT THE PUBLIC is STILL
CARELESS IN IT'S BUSINESS OF
STATE GOVERNMENT. State
governments are growing easier to
handle as it gorws harder to handle
the big federal government. Ac-
cordingly privilege and monopoly
are suddenly anxious about state
rights.
1t is time, then, for the little fell
lows, the plain citizens, to look
into this business of state rights.
Yours sincerely, RATH.

Finally young Vogel told the
chauffeur that he didn't have a

rested and at the station the boy
told the name and address of his
parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vogel were in court
this morning and there was a tear
