it must be green and not in prime
condition for market when it
reaches the warehouse. This should
be remembered in the marketing
of soft fruits especially.
I'VE found the export market,
English and Hamburg. which had
been good early in the season,
glutted and offering no attractions
at the present time. There is every
prospect that this market will be
overstocked until late.
Again let me emphasize the
fact of the association being so
highly regarded in the east. 1t has
become an important factor in the
fruit industry. The fundamental
policies of the association have
proven themselves good, and will
be continued.

caused the valley to be established
as no other district in the world in
SO short a time. It's fruit has re-
ceived the best average price of
any district Of the west. While
some growers have stored their
fruit for late selling we were adj
vised to feed out our stock as the
demand came and take no chance
on big slump that may come at
the end Of the season. We be-
ieve this good advice and that we
will get whole season average
that will speak for itself.
A thing that should be i'm
pressed upon our growers is that
more care should be taken in ship
ping fruit for storage. A large per
cent Of the fruit from the west
was found unfit for storage be-
cause it was too advanced and
ripe. The growers must harvest

John H. Robbins, manager of
the Yakima Valley Fruit Growers
association, returned recently from
a comprehensive trip of the east,
where he, as a member Of COM
mittee Of three. looked over gen.
eral market conditions, gained per-
sonal information concerning the
association s eastern connections,
and familiarized himself with the
storage proposition as it looks
when fruit is moving, and other
wise sought general information
regarding the fruit industry as 1t
pertains to the policy of the asso-
citation. With Mr.. Robbins were
j. E. Shannon. president of the
South Mob Hill association, and on
the executive committee of the
Yakima association. and O. S. Fol
lensbee, secretary Of the Zillah as
ISOLATION.
Mr.. Robbins stated that the
committee had found the markets
glutted with fruit, crops from Ar
kansas, Illinois, Missouri, New
York and Virginia being especial
ly heavy and of excellent quality,
thing very noticeable to the COM
mlttee because Of the general idea
prevailing in the west that in the
quality of fruit the east does not
offer competition.
The barrel stock said Mr.. Rob
bins, was selling at $3.50 and 1925
delivered in the markets. 1t would
cost the west $3.50, said Mr.. Rob
bins to put the same stock on the
market The west s delivery price
would be the east s minimum sell
ing price.
Spectators said Mr.. Rob
bins, are afraid of such a situa-
ton mainly because the stock is
still IN the hands Of the growers,
who may be easily swayed to sell
or hold just at the wrong time for
the SPECTATOR. What the result
will be no one can foresee. The
general sentiment is that with the
market swamped the west cannot
hope for high, fancy prices. There
Is belief that there will be an i'm
provement by February l and
thereafter, but this is merely spec
ulative.
We found that the growers
and the various associations be-
lleved generally that they were
not justified in attempting to hold
their fruit until late.
R. g. Phillips. secretary of the
National Apple Shippers associa-
tlon. told us that New York state
alone had shipped $4,000 carloads
OF apples. This year in a market

known as the heaviest for apple

REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In oIden Days, Among Other Accom-
Iishments, Woman Was Required
to Be Expert Carver.

In the matter of old time etiquette
at the. table one recalls the part
played by the lady of the household.
In the eighteenth century she was mis-
tress of the ceremonies-she carved
and she dealt the while her lord mere
ly pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu. for If she
gave dinner of several courses 1t
was her duty to announce to the
guests, seated expectantly. what was
due to appear at table. A dinner OF
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers of gentle persua.
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight of knife in posi-
ton was the signal for the hostess to
inquire 'if he would please to have
something more"
In the art of carving, of course
the mistress Of any country house
was past mistress. One recalls Lady
Mary Montagu's flight after perfec.
ton under the wing of a professional
carving master: She took three les.
sons week. that she might be perfect
on her fathers public days; when, In
order to perform her functions with
out Interruptions. she was forced to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or
SO beforehand"

1t is the last survivor OF the buildings
that stood about the ancient dock
from which 1t was hardly more than
thirty feet distant.
In its day 1t has served in many ca
pacities, first as residence. then q
tavern, grocery. fruit store, market
and for many years past as a combina'

was the dwelling OF Thomas Philips,
and even at that time was known as
the Sun tavern, as Phillips had per
nit for ten years previous to that
date.
Samuel Mears owned the tavern In
1924 and in 1741 1t passed TO Joseph
jackson from Thomas Valentine OF
Hopkinton for the sum OF Sl2.37b
Capt. James Day conducted the Sun
tavern in 1855 and Paix Cazeau sue
ceeded him. Under this later pro
prietor the tavern became n highly
popular place. When the old Grown
coffee house became too small for the
meetings Of the Scots Charitable so
ciety they were held for years In the
Sun tavern, which at that time was
noted place for meetings of organi'
cations. 1t is claimed that many OF
the resolutions passed in gatherings
In Faneuil hall had previously been
drafted at smaller gatherings there.
During the siege Of Boston the Brit.
ish took possession of the tavern and
changed It's name to the Kings Arms
but after the evacuation the old name
was restored. When Joseph jackson
died in 1894 the group of buildings
was sold at public auction to David
Bradiee for $6.700. The Sun tavern
has always been considered OF the
seventeenth century.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Four years ago I had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began. my wrist and shin itched like
poison. l would scratch those places
until they would bleed before l could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over. and the flesh un-
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes 1t would begin to itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep.
and I would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t dry
eczema" I used an ointment which
the doctor gave me. but 1t did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years. and is
considered hereditary, felt anxious
to try to head 1t off. I got the Cuti-
cura Soap. Ointment and Pills. and
they seemed to be Just what I needed.
"The disease was making great
headway on my system until l got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin Of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago. until now, have never felt
any Of its pest, and l am thankful to

station and attached everything there
save the astounded officials and the
prisoners. 1t was the same thing In
the rooms Of the water department,

When they found no more inside the
city buildings to levy upon they went
out upon the streets and attached the

bage carts and the horses that
dragged them, directing that they be
taken Immediately to certain private
stables they designated. A sheriff is

OSTON.-Boston is soon to lose an

point. owned by the C. w. Galloupe
estate, which also includes the old

The rough-hewn oaken beams Of
the Sun tavern seem as sound today
as when they were placed in position
upon the hewed and shouldered up
rights which support them. The loss
of this historic group of buildings will
bring great regret to many interested
in the early days. The Sun tavern
boasts on its Faneuil Hall square face
a tablet stating that the building was
erected In 1890. and the date has nev-

In fact, there is tradition to the
effect that its timbers were cut in
