County Commissioner Martin f.
Olson, president of the Yakima VAL
lev Fruit Growers association, sounds
the alarm to fruit growers through
out the valley in regard to the red
spider, declaring that unless they got
to work to eradicate it. the loss in
fruit destroyed will be heavy. He re
ports heavy personal losses from its
ravages last year. and tells of his
efforts this year in fighting the in
sect. The spider, ne says, spins Il
web around the tree. and is hardly
discernable to the naked eye. 1t
soon does its work, if left alone, sap

J. NJ. Brown, formerly deputy hor-

Mr.. Brown said he harvested crop
of prunes from one acre worth

less.
Horticultural Commissioner Huntley
State horticultural Commissioner

Much sympathy has been shown by
Metz Meyer. a young officer of the
Norwegian army, on leave of alb
sence, the son of prominent bank
er of Christiana, who was given the
unusual alternative the other day of
leaving the United States forever or
going to prison for five years. He
promptly elected to leave the Amer
lean shore with the understanding
that if he ever returned will have
to serve out his prison sentence. The
young man who is of fine appear
victed of robbing the homes of
wealthy residents in the Columbia
Heights section of the city. His ex-
cuse when captured by the police
that he was starving and was prompt
ed to his life of crime by the paugs
of hunger, has been borne out by
the investigation of the authorities.
Made desperate by an enforced
fast of two days, he broke into a
house and stole only sufficient to
provide himself with food, although
he might have taken several thous-
and dollars worth of silVerware and
Jewels The pathetic story of the
young soldier brought to his aid a
large number of prominent men and
women, including Vice President
Lowell M. Palmer of the Standard
Oil Co, whose home was among
those he burglarized. Under their
direction he will undertake to re-
form himself and enter the Congo
service ~ the Belgian army.

II the claim of the militant suf-
fragettes are fulfilled the fashionable
restaurants, roof gardens, ice cream
put the lock on their doors and go
into mourning during the week COM
mencing August 18th. During the
seven days following, the apostles of
the right for women to vote propose
to abstain from all these Injuries
and apply the money thus saved to
the fund for the propagation of their
movement.
Between now and the date for the
inauguration of the fast they will
try and enlist all Of the women of
the city in their novel sacrifice, to
the end that the money thus hus-
banded will be sufficient to enable
the movement to be carried on this
fall with greater energy than ever
before. Although many of the SYM
pathizers of the cause are out of
town now, it is believed the plan
will provide a fair test of the influ-
ence of those interested in the work

The old story that a great singer

emphasized in the suit instituted by
Louis S. Berg. president of the New
Orleans, Mobile and Chicago rail-
road, against c. Ada Machii, a well
known vocal teacher, with studio
in the Metropolitan Opera House
building. The money was given to
the teacher by Berg, for the purpose
of developing the voice of his daugh-
ter, Frances Berg, and making her
a grand opera star. After the young
woman, who believes that she has
the voice of an embryo prima donna,
had been studying with the teacher
for some time, it is claimed he vol
unteered to present her in a series
of operas in Rome and Turin, at the
expense of her father who provided
the money necessary The young
woman says she caught cold sitting
at a window following the rehearsal
of Romeo and Juliet in which she
was cast and that against her pro-
her part at two regular Perform
ances in the Italian cities. Owing to

able. After the second performance
there was a dispute over money mat
