In the Interests of the Industry
The apple shows in Spokane have
been in the interest Of the industry
and have also been the means Of d.
recting attention to the orchard dis
trtcts in all parts OF the western coun-
try. The apple show project is not
a money ma king enterprise In any
sense Of the word, and 1t can only be
successful by all the communities CO
operating with the hackers Of the ex
hibition." .s
BY Way Of Comment
There are two classes Of persons to
be pitied at the theaters, the men who
get up between the acts and parade
down the aisles and the women over
whom they have to climb in order to
get to the aisles. No one blames the
mon for wanting little fresh air
during the gaps in the performance,
and surely no one blames the women
for being In the way. and every one
tries to be as polite AZ possible. al
though tempers are sometimes at the
breaking point. 1t does seem a lit
tie difficult sometimes after q woman
has gathered up her programme, her
hat, or at any rate her scarf, her
opera glasses, and possibly fan and
handkerchief and her wrap, because
the seat can't be turned up until it
Is removed. and then stands up her
self-it is a little bit provoking to
have the fat man knock all her be-
longings to the floor. and then pass
without word Of apology. But tho
lady has a great opportunity under
such provocation to prove that she
can not be annoyed by even the sum
Of such tribes. She can get hints
1t may be, from such conduct as to
her own duty as a mother, and while
she smiles. she may be vowing that
her own little Geirgie shall be sound
ly spanked every time he Is impolite
SO that he may not grow up without
any manners. 1t ID not want of man
ners to go out between acts. not even
the most selfish women could think
of such a thing. And one little word
Of apology would make her forget
that it was any trouble, which 10 no
doubt after all but a sign Of narrow
ness on her part. because the man is
really not sorry. but such is the ed
ucation OF a woman that she is hurt
unless he does say it. Anyhow, he
may be deaf and dumb, or have some
impeachment Of the speech that may
make him hesitate to air his vocal
difficulties in public. A woman who
gets cross because some one else fails
in politeness must be lacking . little
herself, for with the proper training
her own conduct would BIZ her only
concern. Still there are lots Of wo-
men who are willing to admit that
they are not such perfect ladies"
that they can ignore the shortcom-
ings of the mannerless man in the
middle Of the row, who prom enades
after each act and returns without
