OTHER CRACKS SHOW SKILL

F'9r the first time in many years WASH
ington is enjoying a real skating carni-
val
skating cometiIne during the cold
weather. Not in a long time has the ice
held as it is holding this year.
Usually only small boys get a chance
to enjoy the sport, and they spend as
| mich energy over half an hours fun as
they would over months run OF skat-
ing. Their elders figure it out that for a
days skating they will suffer a week Of
skates when they suspect the ice will
hold only day or two.
But this year it is different. There has
oeen good skating for more than a week.
Indications are that it will hold out for
some time longer. Consequently fash
ionable Washington has joined forces
with the small boy and is having the
time of its life.
Society on Skates.
Instead OF loafing around tea tables
| indoors, the diplomatic and home SOFIA,
sets are hieing them to the tidal ha sin
every afternoon and enjoying the health,
full exercise
| Many diplomats. particularly those who
| come from the colder countries Or have
| pSen On outv In them. are expert skaters
| Inc Russians and the Swiss and the
| Scand1navlans are all skaters of exneri-
| ence.
| But none has appeared on the Ia sin
curing the past few days who surpasses
secretary OF the Navy Meyer on the ice
Mr.. Meyer learned his skating in and
around Boston when he was a boy. and
| improved his skill while at the court Of
| st. Petersburg.
Naturally graceful and athletic the
secretary finds particular endowment in
gliding over the ice. His waltzing with
his daughter, Miss Julia Meyer, is one OF
the features of the afternoon carniyals
| south Of the Washington Monument.
Other Crack Skaters.
Other cracks are Lieut.. Filippo Cam
perio. naval attache of the Italian en-
bassy: Henri Martin, secretary Of the
Swiss legation. and Miss Rosen. a daugh-
| ter of Baron Rosen. the Russian ambas-
sador. Other accomplished skaters are
Viscountess Benoist day, wife of the
naval attache of the French embassy.
and Baroness Preuschen. wife of the
naval attache of the Austro-Hungarian
embassy. Two young Americans who are
having the time OF their lives trying to
learn to skate are Miss Dorothy Williams
and Miss Margaret Cotton-Smith
The presence Of the Diplomatic and so
ciety folk produces no eject other than
that OF mild surprise on the part OF the
regular crowd Of small boys who beat it
to the basin from school without going
by home to leave their books. These
youngsters play hockey, snap the whip
and race as though their sacred play
ground had never been invaded by the
elite
The skating is not confined to the basin,
however On the little pond al Zoo Park.

Go to Laugh and Gi9gle.

The writer wishes to draw atten-
ton to the fact that many people who
went to the local play house to see
the production of The Thief" last
Thursday were much annoyed at the
ignorance of some few people who
undertook to try and amuse the bal
ance of the audience by laughing and
giggling like so many hyenas when
the good theatrical talent which We
natchee so much appreciates were
playing one of their best and most
serious acts of the season.
There were many young people,
and few old ones who evidently did
not come to be entertained, but who
wished to be the entertainers them
selves, but they failed absolutely and
only showed their utter ignorance by
laughing at the wrong time.
The writer also noticed that the
theatrical management are putting
their patrons to a grave fire danger
by putting extra chairs in the aisles.
This should be stopped at once.

Chelan Apples at the n. A. S.

Although the Chelan Commercial
club will not take an exhibit to the
National Apple show this year. the
valley will be represented with the
private exhibits of a number of local
growers.
r. P. Wright is getting car of
his choice Rome Beauties ready for
shipment, which ne will enter in the
carload contest of that variety. This
exhibit will be shipped out next week,
so that it can be placed on display
in good season. Mr.. Wright has the
largest crop of Rome Beauties this
year that this orchard has produced,
and as the quality Of the fruit is of
uniformly high grade, he will be
able to select a carload of a quality
in size, color and perfection of form
which should top the column of the
apple judges score sheets.
Besides this exhibit there will be
other smaller ones from this valley
at the show. l.. H. Spader and A. H.
Post & Sons are planning to again
make entries in the big apple con-
tests, in which they were successful
last year; and ]. S. Shepard will have
a number of entries in the plate and
box displays in number of varieties.

BEE HIVE GRANGE
Favors the Eelection of NOnpartisan
judiciary.

Wenatchee, Wash, Nov. 4
We, the Patrons of Bee Hive
Grange (Squillchuck) wish to state
our position concerning the nonpar-
tisan candidates for supreme court
judges. After Investigating the mat
ter we find the following reasons for
giving this ticket our earnest sup
port:
Because, First, that the candidates
on the nonpartisan ticket are men
we'll qualified to act as supreme court
judges.
Second, we find that the ticket is
truly nonpartisan from political
sense, the candidates being represen-
tative of three political parties.
Third, for the very important rea-
son that these men favor strengthen
ing, rather than weakening the direct
primary laws, and will use their infiu
ence toward legislation favorable to
the Initiative" referendum" and
recall, winch are laws mucn need
ed in this state.
Further, these candidates, if elect
ed, are all pledged to place their
resignation in the hands of the gov
ernor gefore the next general cleo
ton, leaving the selection of supreme
court judges with the people.
This nonpartisan ticket is being
backed by the Nonpartisan Judiciary
league, the State Grange, the FEEDER
alton of Labor and the Direct Pri-
mary league. The candidates on this
ticket are Charles E. Shepard, War
rem W. Tolman, William Hickman
Moore, Preston al. Troy and Hans
Bugge. Their names will appear on
the Independent ticket. When vot-
ing place a cross opposite the name
of each candidate.

The boy said he was getting
along famously. Father and son,
after a delightful luncheon under
tree at Armeonyille, went sightsee-
ing.
AS they drove in their taxicab
down quiet, old-fashiOned street
near the Seine the fathers interest
was excited by a fine, imposing
building with a spacious courtyard
full of fragments of statuary, fine
old bits or stone carving, casts, and
so on.
" What place is that, my boy?'
he asked.
Really, father. I can't tell you,
said the young man. I'm so busy
