in butter when a pretty young woman,
whom they adjudged to be a new
housewife, interrupted the conversa-

come ito buy some butter"

There has been considerable fear
among timid people that a demo-
cratic victory will mean another series
of hard time years. We think there
is no fear of this and such talk is ill
advised. Hard time years come after
long series of expansion OF credit
and come regardless of political
parties. 1t is true that a change in
tariff laws may effect some manufact-
urers, but there is no danger that the
new party will make this change until
after elaboration, and time will be
given to adjust any difference. We
believe the long series of hard time
years which began five years ago is
broken and that another season Of
prosperity is at hand, but it is sim
cerely hoped that the long hard time
years have taught us a lesson of
economy so that such disastrous years
may be averted. This, however, is
doubtful as the Americans are pro-
verbal spenders and they soon forget
the economies which are taught them
by these long series of disastrous years
when business is dull and credit at
low ebb

It is an axiom of political economy
that prosperity in a community is
certain only as that community pro-
duces more than it consumes. Thls
fact is brought in mind from reports
lust published which show that the
Pacific Northwest is purchasing from
other communities $40, 900, 900 worth
of dairy, meat and poultry products
annually, and that British Columbia,
our neighbor on the north, is import
ing S14, 600, 900 worth OF goods annual
ly. and California, on the south, Is
importing 500, 900, 900 annually, max
ing a total OF STA, 600, 600 of such I'M
ports. Every dollar of this should be
produced within this territory, and
until this is done the back to the farm
movement should be encouraged. IL
the farmers of the Pacific Coast were
producing this extra STA, 600, OOO each
wear what difference it would make.
This money would be kept at home
and spent in building up our own
country instead of being shipped TO
other states and building up the IN
dustries there. TIE four Pacific
Northwest states had a wheat crop
worth about $40, 600, 600, but as it will
be seen, $40, 900, 900 OF this great crop
must be returned to buy butter, eggs,
meat and poultry which should be
grown here.

To the student of economical ques-
lions the election held November 9Th
has deep significance. 1t shows
that the progressive ideas which have
been stirring the people for the last
ten years have borne abundant fruit.
Both the votes of Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr. Wilson, amounting to at least
twelve million votes, we're cast for
progressive candidates. While it may
be true that a great many democrats
do not approve of all the progressive
measures, their party was committed
to these ideas by their platform. The
followers of Roosevelt were unqualiti-
eddy committed to these policies and
made them their slogan in the cam
paign. 1t was protest against the
machine methods which have control
led in congress for so many years.
All of the great republican leaders
who were so pronounced in their OPP
position to progressive measures have
been relegated to private life, Joe
Cannon being the last to go as he was
defeated for congress at the last cleo
ton.

Estate Auditor Clausen has recently
issued his report on school expendl-
lures for the state and to a person
who has not given this great deal of
attention the figures are surprising.
He shows that the schools of the state
collected last year S13, 805, 359, and of
this immense sum Sc, $40, 800 went to
pay teachers salaries. Great as is
this sum it is undoubtedly nearly all
we'll expended and no taxpayer be-
grudges the money which places the
children in such position that they
may be better able to support them
selves and become useful citizens. One
pleasing feature of this report is
shown from that fact that warrant
Indebtedness of the districts was re-
duced nearly 81, 100000. The report
shows there is a S13, 35l, 600 of bonded
Indebtedness against the school dis
tricts of the state and nearly So, OOO,-
600 of warrant Indebtedness. This,
however, is being rapidly reduced.

Newspapers report that three car
building companies have placed orders
for 100, 900, 600 feet of lumber in the
state of Washington, the largest order
of this kind ever placed. This is for
rnsh work on the new rolling stock
for the railroads. For five years past
scarcely any rolling stock has been
ordered, but now it is found that a
great deal is needed, and the car
shops are being rushed to fill the
orders. When the lumber business is
good in the state of Washington, all
lines of business are good as lumber
ing is still the big industry OF this

The people of that progressive com

BOOST PUYALLUP APPLE SHOW.

Can tree fruit be grown commercial
ly in Western Washington?
Messrs. Thornber, Huntly, Walden,
Eckert, Lay, Ridge, Stahl, and dozens
of other experts and practical growers
say that it can.
1t is of very great Importance to
the agricultural interests of the West
Side that this fact be established in
the minds of our own people.
The second Western Washington
Fruit Show to be held at Puyallup,
December 4th, 9Th and 9th, 1912, will
be positive, affirmative demonstra
ton of this fact. Once established,
let us accept it and proceed to the
discussion CT soils, varieties, methods
and markets.
The idea of this show originated
with the local Grange.
Puyallup being near the great
centers of population and the home
of the Western Washington Expert
ment Station, also large cooperative
fruit association, it was thought a
very suitable place to hold this show.
Our first show was held last year in
Puyallup and although it was in
February, after the bulk of the apples
we're marketed, 1t was an agreeable
surprise and revelation to everyone.
The exhibits of fruit at all the fairs
held this year in Western Washington
has convinced close observers that
with the same care, skill and knowl-
edge exercised in Eastern Washing
ton, we can equal their products in
appearance and excel them in natural
flavor. With the Panama Canal open
and the markets of all Europe Access
sible to us with cheap water freights
we have the advantage in markets and
transportation. Shall we grasp the
opportunity to add one more resource
to our diversified list?
This is purely "pro bono publico"
work, no one connected with it makes
any money or even a salary. The
grand prize, in which all the people
will share is in establishing the fact
that we can grow tree fruit in West
ern Washington.
