could not see their way clear tC
undertake such a large enterprise
chiefly because of the expense and
lack Of room to properly display
the exhibits and it was put up to
this organization.
We told a delegation of promi-
|nent citizens that if Spokane would
guarantee a fund of $50, 900, the
National Apple Show, Inc, would
stage larger and better compel
tive show than has ever been seen
in the western country and in ad-
dition give week of carnival fes-
rivals in the down town business

lied and the first days canvass
resulted in subscriptions amounting
to S23, 900, with the rest of the
money needed, in sight. We have
every reason to think that the
show the last week in November
will be the most important and in
teresting in the history of Spokane
and that it will be credit to the
entire country"

WOMEN TAXPAYERS ARE
DRAWN FOR COURT SERVICE
prominent MatrOns get Property to
Enable them to Serve on
Spokane Juries

Sixteen hundred names of women
taxpayers in Spokane county have
been drawn by the county clerk for
service in the superior court during
the coming year and from this list
among Others the jurors will be
selected to decide cases covering
nearly every offense in the state
code. The list includes society
matrons, schoolteachers, clerks,
housewives and professed suffragists
In Spokane, also women orchardists
and poultry-growers making their
homes in the urban districts. The
name OF Mrs. May Arkwright Hut
ton, founder of the Political Equal
ty league of Washington, who is
rated to be the richest married
woman in Spokane, was not drawn
tor the reason she is not registered
as a taxpayer. Mrs. Hutton. who
Is the wife of millionaire mine
operator, announces she will have a
piece of property in Spokane reg
istered in her name, so that she
will be eligible for jury duty when
the next list is drawn. So far less
than a dozen women have said thew
will serve in the event their names
are drawn for the September term
OF court in Spokane.

DANCE GIVEN UNDER
CHURCH AUSPICES
Invitation Extended from the Pulpit
Spokane Priest FavOrs form of
Amusement

Invitations to dance under
church auspices on church property
have been extended to every family
in St. Francis Xavier parish, Spo
kane, by Rev. Father J. Rebmann,
pastor, the affair taking place in
the parochial school the evening of
August 16. The priest, who an
nounced the dance from the pulpit
at the Sunday services, urged the
Pensioners to attend, promising
all a good time. Officers and men,
of the ladies' alter society will be
the hosts. Father Rebmann thinks
the dance is harmless with proper
association and supervision, but he
is opposed to public dances, saying
that the evil is not in the dance
itself but in the abuse Of it. Father
Rebmann is among the veteran
priests in Spokane and was for years
an officer of Gonzaga college. - He
is liberal in his views and believes
the right kind of dance is a good
form of wholesome amusement. 1t
is given out that another dance will
follow if the coming entertainment
is as successful as promised. Some
of the pastors in Spokane denounce
dacnirg, saying it leads to perdi-

silver trophies, will be awarded in
competitions, free and open to all,

Plans have been completed to ex-
hibit more than 100000 Of the
highest grade commercial apples
grown in the United States and
Canada in a temporary structure
covering four and a half acres of
ground, the features being ID or
more full carload displays.
Arrangements are under way for
series of growers conventions and
country life meetings, at which
some of the foremost experts in the
country will discuss the education
al phases of apple culture, dealing
also with the problems of market
ing the orchard products at home
Or abroad. Practical orchardists
will give demonstrations Of modern
orcharding, from the breaking of
the raw land to harvesting the
crop, and introducing features de-
signed to assist producers in secur-
ing adequate returns from the land.
Five experts of international
reputation will be engaged to pass
Judgment on the various exhibits,
ranging from carloads to single
plates of five apples. The sweep
stake contest has been eliminated

oe contests with added prizes and
premiums on standard commercial
varieties.

apple Show, Inc, headed by E. F.
oartler Van Dissel, has received a
fund of $4,000, subscribed by
