New Departure in Fruit Boxes

With the definite purpose Of increas-
ing the Washington apples the fruit
growers Of the Wenatchee valley viii
this year pack half boxes Of apples in
the confident belief that in this way
many consumers will buy boxes that
heretofore bought them by the dozen.
Many people in moderate circumstances
did not feel able to pay from $3.50 to
81 and SIS for full box, and many
others found them too expensive by the
dozen at fruit stands, while still others,
small families, found a full box to much
to buy at one time. Many Of these
objections will be overcome by placing
on the market apples in boxes that can
be bought at from 81 to $3.50. That
this will lead TO a wider and more
general use Of the most popular and
wholesome of fruits is reasonably sure.
The Lamb-Davis Lumber Co., one Of
the largest manufacturers Of fruit boxes
in central Washington is now making
a box in size 10 long liz inches wide
and 81 inches deep. which is slightly
more than half the capacity Of the stand
ard full box and will be the standard
size OF the half box.

what viii The Harvest Be"

The one subject, more than any
other. that has been talked about and
most concerns the people of the United
States since the war broke out in
Europe is, What will be the effect on
our own country"
On this point there is room for wide
difference Of opinion. That the effect
will be both near and remote, and also
evil and good, we do not think there
can be any doubt. The longer and
more deeply one ponders the truly
awful and bewildering subject the
harder it is to arrive at definite con-
clusion. For ourselves We can not
escape the decision that the evil out
weighs the good. II, however, civii-
cation must go thru travail OF suffer
ing and q rebirth of fire, and to reach
higher level il is necessary to en-
broil a continent in war, with all its
brood Of evils, that in the end general
neace and disarmament may be agreed
on BY the nations Of the earth, then IN
the infnity Of time the everlasting good
will balance the account.
AS one of the results OF this war we
see the spread Of republican ideas.
Government by the people substituted
for hereditary monarchs. Where some
Kingdoms have subsisted in the past
there will after the close Of this war be
set up republican governments. The
idea of self government has taken deep
root in many OF the old world kingdoms.
The divinity Of kings and all that doth
hedge them about viii receive mighty
downward blow before this war, red
e. with blood and shot and shell, is over.
II will be short but costly in life and
treasure. It will probably not last
longer than six or eight months, at
most not longer than year. So ire
mendously expensive and destructive
is war under modern conditions that to
be prolonged indefinitely seems impos-
sible and not to be thought Of. It is
no exageration to say that, expressed
in dollars, it is costing Europe two mil
lion dollars every hour, and the people
of the United States will have TO bear
part Of the cost. The price of all
necessary food stufs will doubtless
enhance. The price Of our cotton,
our fruit and many Of our manufactured
products is sure to be depressed for
lack Of demand and transportation,
coupled with the inability Of the people
of Europe to pay for them.
Answering the interrogation under
which the thoughts here expressed are
submitted to the readers Of The Echo
we should say the immediate harvest
will be dragons teeth.

If there was anything needed to con-
vince Kings that public opinion cuts a
large figure in this world we have but
to call attention TO the Italian sit
uation in the present European crisis.
Italy is a member of the triple alliance,
Germany, Austria and Italy, and bound
herself TO assist in the event of war
Germany is calling on her and she
would respond but for the tremendous
force OF public opinion, which is op-
posed to war. In the event Of a declar-
alton of war the people threaten rebel
lion and the overthrow Of the monarchy.
So forceful is this movement that the
Italian government has wisely decided
to remain neutral.

Because fruit is in the nature of a

transportation the export demand for
apples, which has grown TO very con-

markets in time TO take this year
