SPOKANE AND WALLA
WALLA READY TO JOIN
Want to Go Ahead With Plan foz
Central Selling Agency With
out Wenatchee

There is a strong sentiment among
the fruitgrowers of the Northwest
to proceed with their plans for the
creation of a central selling agency
on the plans proposed by the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors, despite
the refusal of Wenatchee to come
into the combination, is indicated
by the action taken at Spokane and
Walla Walla recently, says the Yaki-
ma Republic.
While J. HI. Robbins, represent
ing the Yakima district, stated that
he deemed it unwise to attempt to
follow out the plan without the CO.
operation of the three larger dis
triuts, he also indicated that if it
was the disposition of the growers
in the other districts to go ahead,
that Yakima should be depended
upon to join.
Without both Yakima and Hood
River, the Distributors could not
possibly hope to be success, and
the decision seems likely to rest with
the Hood River growers, with Yak
ina willing to follow in their lead.
At a meeting of the Spokane Fruit
growers association Monday the
directors drew up the following me-
mortal, which the president was
authorized to wire to every other
district within the field of the CEN
trail selling agency plan:
Regretting the action of Wen
atchee in refusing to affiliate with
the central selling agency, we con-
slider it to be all the more necessary
for the other organizations to stand
together. With the majority CO.
operating we have every confidence
that the central organization can
be of infinite service to the apple
industry. We urge immediate &C
ton on your part. We are ready
to stand by our agreement made
last winter. Please wire if you can
meet for this purpose.

CONCRETE TO HOLD A RIVER
Material Used to Patch Holes In Bed
Through Which the Water Period
icalIy Vanishes.

It has been found necessary to put
another patch on the bed of the Blanco
river, says the Martindale (Tex.) DIS
patch. This stream has a remarkable
way of losing itself, and in order to
restore it to it's surface channel, a
concrete patch has been placed upon
the holes through which it disappears
For many years it has been empty
ing portions of it's flow into small
holes in it's bed, but it was not until
about year ago that the entire bot
tom, so to speak, dropped out at a
point near San Marcos.
In one night the river below that
point went dry. 1t had had a width
Of nearly 200 feet and was flowing a
strong current until the sudden dis
appearance of the water. The drying
I'D of the stream meant heavy losses
to persons dependent upon it for water
supply.
Civil engineers were consulted in re-
gard to restoring the flow, and it was
decided to patch the hole into which
the water was emptying. This was
dcne at a heavy expense.
A few days ago the river wore an
other big hole through the bed twenty
miles northeast of here and the same
method of patching is being followed.

WAY MARTIN WAS DocKED cHIvALRY OF THE ANIMALS
Human Trait That Is Shown in Their
Attitude Toward the Young and
the Weak. r

One of the most interesting of all
the human traits in the animals IS
that of chivalry, as shown by the AMI
mails in their attitude toward the
young and weak. H. is an unWrltten
law in the animal world that the
young have rights which must he re-
spected. This accounts for the /un-
usual sight, sometimes seen, when o
fierce dog who has thrashed every
other dog in the neighborhood, and
has become terror to every upstart
in puppydom, will turn tail and flee
in an apparent terror when young
dog or kitten is presented to him.
The maternal and paternal instincts
are among the strongest of all. Par
ents will grieve over the loss of the
young, but they apparently have no
conception Of death. There is deep
sympathy, or something very close to
it among animals. A cry of distress
from a fellow-beast or bird in trouble
will bring others from all directions.
There is a powerful instinct on the
part of all animals to protect the
young when in trouble. Hogs and cat
tie are among the most dangerous OF
domestic animals when aroused; the
surest way to arouse them is to in
lure their young. Let a bird utter a
call for help, and instantly TIE air
around will be filed with feathered
champions of the victim.

QUEER OLD PIECE OF ROCK
Part cT It Was Made in the Devonian
FeF!od by Animals Living In
Shells.

A curious piece of rock resembling
somewhat dogs head, is in the posses
on of w. c. Stricken. at was born,
- am told" says Mr.. Stricken,
here Pennsylvania now is, millions
q years ago. 1t is composed of two
kinds of rock. The under rock and
the horns, that look like eyes, is OF
igneous origin, had its birth in fire,
and the upper rock, which belongs to
the Devonian period, was deposited on
the sea floor by little animals that
live in shells. One of these shells
can be seen under the right eye and
is called by biologists "Atrypa Reti'
cuIarus," reticulated like lady's veil
This upper rock is full of these shells.
The parent rock, to which this piece
belongs, is supposed to have come to
the surface in Pennsylvania when the
allegheny mountains were elevated
and during the glacial period this
piece was broken off, carried and
dropped where it was found"

Small boys step up and shake

soothing assurance Of colicless GU

less cucumber presages the coming OF

With no fear Of retributive stomach
ache, care-free bands Of youngsters,
when that happy day arrives, can eat
their fill of the spoil after they have
overturned Giovanni's fruit stand and
sped, laughing, a safe distance along

when consumed will carry with it NO
moral pointing consequences.
Happy days are in store for child

Gid Maine Huntinu GUN,

Among his valued possessions Har-
ry Smith of Skowhegan, Me-, has a
gun about $50 years old, and it has
proved not only safeguard, but it
has helped make history. 1t was
owned by his great-grandfather, Cap.
tain Churchill, who assisted Arnold
up the KenneDec on his expedition.
1t is known to have shot several men.
Captain Churchill used it at home in
hunting bears, and it has fifty notches
on it to represent the number of
bears that it has shot. 1t is of the
old flintlock' type, and heavy enough
to have killed bear if it had dropped
on him.

Externinated Like the Buffalo

Some idea of the vast numbers OF
animals that Africa used to support
can be gained from a passage in w.
Scully's "reminiscences. 1t was Mr..
Scully's good fortune in 1892 to wit
ness the last great trek of spring
bucks from east to west of the Bush
mainland desert-a trek on a scale
such as no man will ever see again.
Fencing, the increase Of population
and the distribution Of arms have al
most exterminated the once innumer-
able host. He says: II have stood
on an eminence some twenty feet
high, far out on the plains, and seen
the absolutely level surface, as wide
as the eye could reach. covered with
resting springbucks, while from over
the eastern horizon the rising col.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines that
contain iodine, morphine, heroin and
other sedatives when you have a cough
or cold. An expectorant like Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is what is needed.
1t cleans out the culture beds Or breed
ing places for the germs of pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That is why
pneumonia never results from cold
when Chamberlain Cough Remedy is
used. 1t has worldwide reputation for
it's cures. 1t contains no morphine or
other sedative. For sale by all dealers.
