Back in our younger days, about the
time we smoked our first pipe. and
there were no other hues in the sky of
life than the roseate, we gained our
first taste of journalism under the able
tutelage of w. F. Byars. We swept
his office and pied his type and did
fearful and wonderful things with his
copy, all according to the accepted role
of print shop devils" and-quit, just
when the going was good. Out of that
experience, however. was born a desire
which has stayed with us, in greater
or less degree, up to the present time.
1t seemed to us then that the most es-
sential thing for our complete happi-
ness was print shop of our own; a
place where we could boss, where it
would be our type that was pied, and
where our copy would be printed and
sent out to mould the public opinion
(such was our delusion). Now that
we nave TIC UeSlTcu eSCdDllSuuleuI III
our possession, we are able, by virtue
of the intervening years and the con-
sequent lesser perspective, to view the
matter more calmly, and this newspa-
per game has the appearance of real
man-sized job, with many worries and
troubles and few joys and less money.
But because we wanted it then and be-
cause, to be frank, 1t is not entirely
stripped of it's alluring elements now,
we are going ahead, and we'll try to
go on and on until some day, mayhap,
we'll get somewhere and our dreams
about the moulding of public opinions
will not be so far wrong after all. The
aftermath, the day of reckoning, may
not be all that we anticipate, but "Suf-
ficient unto the day is the evil there
of'-and happiness.

RULES ABOUT PENSIONS
Restrictions Placed ON Post Office In
Delivery of Veterans Mail.

Frequently, according to local post
Office employees, misunderstanding
arises between the post office and those
to whom United States pensions are
delivered through the mails, owing to
the latters' ignorance Of the strict re-
quirements placed upon the officials by
the post Office department. Veterans
attention is called by the local author
tiles to the following orders contained
in a recent bulletin from the postmas-
ter general
The attention of postmasters is
again called to the Importance of care
fully observing the instructions rela-
tive to the treatment of letters from
the bureau of pensions that bear a
printed Endorsement referring to the
act of August II, 1912. Such letters
must not be forwarded to another post
Office under any circumstances, and
they must not be delivered to any one
In case the addressee has died, is un-
der guardianship, has changed his
postoffice either temporarily or per-
manently, or, If widow, has re-mar-
ried. A change of street address in
the same city Is not such removal as
to prevent proper denvery of such
letters.
Before delivering a pension letter to
person other than the addressee the
clerk or carrier having 1t in charge
should be satisfied, by inquiry or 9th
erwise. that none of the prohibitive
conditions exist, in which case deliv-
cry may be made to q member of the
pensioners family or household who
has been specially authorized to re-
ceive pension mail. The special au-
thorization should consist of writ

designating by name the person to
whom delivery of pension letters may
be made. Such orders should be filed
In the postofiice for the information of
delivery clerks and carriers.
Letters that are unbelievable be-
cause of pensioners death, removal to
the delivery of another post Office, or
re-marriage, should be Endorsed to
show the reason of non-delivery and
the date of death, removal, or re-mar-
rage, II 1t Is known, and returned i'm
mediately to the bureau of pensions
ihooe returned because tne peHSlOHeT
Is under guardianship should be in
dorsed with the name of the guardian,

This bulletin may explain some of
the difficulties pensioners may have
encountered N the past and a more
strict observance of its requirements
doubtless will result in greater salts
faction to both the veterans and the
post Office department.

now IS TINE TO
TIP BERRY PLANTS
New Plants Will Be Produced if
Tips Are Planted Now-Big
Market for Phenomenals.

This is the season of the year when
the growers of phenomenal or logan
berries should begin tipping their
plants in order to help furnish the
supply of plants that will be required
for other growers the coming season.
says the Puyallup Valley Tribune. AS
near September 1 as is practicable
the tips of the phenomenal and logan
berries should be put in the ground
and covered with a little soil so that
they will take root and produce new
plants
The p. & S. association is particu-
larly anxious to get more phenomenal
berries. Its officers are satisfied that
the association can find market for
all the phenomenal berries grown in
this section. The phenomenal berry
should be planted on good, heavy soil,
as past experience shows that they do
not thrive as well on light soils as on
heavy soils. 1t would profit the grow
er who expects to plant phenomenal or
loganberries to visit the yard from
which he is getting them to ascertain
whether the parent canes are in a
good, healthy, thrifty condition. Poor,
weak vines produce inferior roots. The
this kind, even if you get them free.
1t would be far better to pay 10 cents
per root for good, vigorous, healthy
phenomenal plant than to get weak,
sickly plant for nothing.
In setting out loganberries or phe-
nomenal berry bushes the Oregon and
California growers put them eight feet
apart in the row. This is much closer
than was formerly recommended and
is probably nearer correct.
Growers of bush blackberries should
not overlook the fact that there has
been an investigation of the berry
blight called "anthracnose." 1t is rec
commended by the experts that. as
quickly as the berries are taken off,
the old canes be removed, and that
any new canes badly affected be re-
moved also. Anthracnose should not
only be watched for. but also crown
gall. The latter consists of a large
swelling or growth, particularly no.
ticeable where a cane Is broken. As
quickly as the old canes are removed
and burned-and burning the canes is
just as i'm portant as removing them
the bush blackberry growers should
thoroughly spray the growing canes
with Bordeaux mixture, composed of
five pounds lime, five pounds bluestope
and so gallons of water, which will be
extremely beneficial.

seattle May Adopt Commission Form.

SEATTLE, Sept. 12.-Seattle is get
ting around to the belief that the only
way it can improve its city govern
ment is to adopt the commission form
of government. The agitation in favor
of commission to succeed the present
city council is going quietly on and it
is generally admitted that within the
next few months the sentiment will
have crystalized to the extent of max
ing its adoption imperative.
Seattle used to elect its city council
by wards, but a few years ago it came
to be very unpopular with the result
that the policy was abandoned and
cOunciimen, nine, are now elected at
large.

FIRE ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

Fire. broke out Sunday afternoon
during the terrific wind which pre-
vailed that day and made business
pick up for most of the citizens in
the neighborhood southeast of town.
The fire company here was notified
and several members chartered the
auto and hurried out to be Of assist
ance.
Fire had started about the Edgar
Hartman place and burned from there
across the Will Rogers and L. D. Will
liams hay land, burning every bit of
their hay, also all of AL Batchman's,
I large amount of Geo. Hoffmaster's
and four stacks for Phillip Grommes.
!, One rick was burned on the Hartman
place. At the Rogers place they had
marrow escape from losing their
1 house and other buildings and only
managed to save it by backfiring and
Iby the assistance of neighbors who
came to help fight the flames. Ow-
ling to the peculiar condition. of the
atmosphere the Rogers did not dis
cover the fire until it was almost up
pn them and when they tried to
bhone for help found their line was
but of order. Others who had seen
he flames, however, had warned the
heighbors and there was a big crowd
but in a short time. The blaze was
lot stopped until it reached the east
} Hide Of the Batchman place and had
lursed a strip Of land about four
hiles IN length.
How the volunteer fire fighters
managed to stop it as they did is a
wonder, considering the high wind
that was blowing.
It is thought the fire started from
sQme sparks left from burning the
weeds from some south side roads
Saturday which Sundays wind fan
ned Into a blaze.
Phillip Grommes lost 50 tons OF
hay. L. D. Williams lost three stack!
al Batchman about 80 tons. Jacob
Brown lost some hay. Mr.. Grommes
. SAYS It was an awful sight and he
never wants to see another like it.
He got out and plowed a furroW
around his barn and managed to save
the barn and house.
Mrs. Rogers says that the air was
flied with burning cornstalks and II
seemed that every house in the neigh
borhood would be burned.
