"You are charged with desertion,"
said the Judge sternly.
"Judge." answered the prisoner at
the bar, II will explain. Our fiat is SO
small that my wife and I can't live in
it comfortably at the same time. Be-
ing naturally tender-hearted and con-
siderate Of her welfare, stay on the
outside and let her stay on the inside"
The Judge ruminated. Ingenious
but not convincing. Take your choice
between going back to live with your
wife In the narrow confines of your
fat and spending six months in our
workhouse, where there is plenty Of

He stepped to the walnut comfortable
where there was q decanter and

surprised as Maha11y. There was an

SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON FAIR

The management of the Southwest
Washington Fair Association is plan
ming one of the finest fairs for it's
fourth annual exhibit that has been
shown in that section. Located as it
is in the heart of one of the finest
farming sections of the state, where
everything grows in abundance and
to perfection there is no excuse for
poor showing.
This district comprises six of the
best southwest counties in the state
-Chehalis, Pacific, Cowlitz, Thurs
ton, Lewis and Wakiakum counties.
The combined resources of these six
counties is enough in itself to insure
a great showing in fruit, grain. stock,
poultry, art. culinary-in fact all the
departments. This year is especially
favorable on account of other long
growing seasons and large crops.
Educational features as we'll as en-
tertainment are in store for all who
attend the fair this fall. There will
be new special features each day.
Let nothing keep the farmer from at
tending for he is the one to be helped.
Send in your enaries early so there
will DOT be so much delay at the last
moment. Arrange your plans so you
will be able to spend day or so at
the fair. The management will see
that you are we'll cared for. Remem-
Der the dates September 30 to October
5-the best time in the year, for at
that time the fruits and vegetables
are matured and the farmer has his
fall work we'll over so he can feel free
to spend few days in pleasant and
instructive recreation.

A movement is on among the fruit
growers of Vashon Island to get the
several fruit associations and COM
munities into one strong ssociation.
This should succeed. There will
never be success among fruit growers
until this is done. AS long as every
grower attempts to sell individually
he will fail. A strong association
headed by we'll paid manager is the
only solution. Vashon island is prob
ably the best strawberry section IN
the world. Yet every crop is grown
on a gam bier s chance. Strawberries
have seldom paid because they can
not be stored but must be sold as
soon as harvested. When all growers
attempt to market at the same time
failure is certain. A big association
avoids this. Then there is the
question OF fertilizing. Strawberries
cannot be grown indefinitely on the
same soil A big association could
handle fertilizers cheaper than can
individuals.
