LOCAL MEN ATTEND
SPOKANE APPLE SHOW

The following local men, interested
in the fruit industry were in Spokane
last week to attend the National apple
show: A. w. Stone, w. B. Dickerson,
]. G. Porter, j. F. Batchelder and E.
H. Shepard. MIR. Stone was present
while in Spokane at meeting OF the
board of trustees of the North Pacific
Fruit Distributors, he representing the
Apple Growers Association In the alb
senee of II. F. Davidson, who will
spend the winter In New York.
One Of the chief features of the big
show was the conference on byrprod-
uets.
MIR. Shepard delivered Atrong ad.
dress on the necessity OF reducing the
cost of production of apples. He praised
the movement for establishing by.prod-
ucts plants. but declared that this alone
would not be the salvation of the apple
industry. He cited the necessity Of
working out change in the condition
of marketing apples by which the re-
tailer's price for the fruit would not
be enormously increased over that Of
the price received by the grower as at
present.

ENCouRAGING FLOWER GARDENING

0 NE OF THE prettiest public movemen nts Of A@ recent years has been the competition established in many places, for the beautifying of home grounds with flowers and shrlbbery.
 A wonderful Transformation can be made in small estate by little tasteful work. A raw and weedy lawn is a temptation to the chil- dren Of the lie eighborhood to turn it intosa sand pit. When you get flowers started. even the kidlets can be made to see the necessity of keep ing off. Children almost invariably like flow CTS, and are willing to help raise them.
 Tn this way the most unpleasant parts of a town can be made the most attractive. A little cottage surrounded by grass and flower beds att tracts more interest than 8 handsome mansion Tn the former case the impression j s given that it. is the personal work and love for beauty Of the owners. Tn the case of the wealthy estate tits too evidently the paid work Of hired men

THE JAP EXPLAINS.

To the Hon. Index Paper: Dear
Sir: Many patriots make big oratory
about why japan butt into great war
fight, and take type machine in
hand to declaim reply. Answer is
easy to those who know land of my
nobility ancestors. Nipponese all
like Japanese school boy, and long to
learning ways of so-called western
civilization. When great and COM
plexion civilization stop shoot mouth
to shoot each other with airyplanes
and other deadly weapons, how shall
Nipponese require this important
knowledge without taking lessons :?
Therefore Japan politely declare hos
FATALITIES against Hon. Germany, as
popular refrain indict, because every
body is doing it. Banzai and loud ex-
plosions. Also, because of treaty pact
with Englishmans, which have been
large help to Japan because of tea
drinking habits, there was no other
way, and so Hon. Mikado make war
declaration of great eloquence as soon
as soldier troops and gunships get
into dangerous position for Germany.
This demonstrate how rapidly oriental
mind grasp niceties of famous west
ern civilization and machinery guns.
Of course, Japanese education in war
school will be in the primary depart
ment in sidney orient, where lessons
are easy and students feel at home
among high explosives, bloodshed and
customary decorations. Another ex-
PLANTATION of Nipponese intrusion is
that sagacious statesman observe that
Hon. Kaiser want Belgium and Paris,
Hon. Gear want Poland and Posen,
Hon. French seek lost provinces which
Germany lost first, Hon. Great Brit
ain take everything German in sight
not in Germany, Hon. Austria hope to
win Servia and other Balkan volca-
noes, and Servia seek Herzegovina and
other funny names. Japan should
also want something and promptly do.
Question: How to get what wanted
Answer: Go and take it with neat
ness and dispatches and rapid fire
artillery cannons. Which Japan try
to do as soon as her gallant troops
and excuses are ready, after example
of worthy western civilization. Yours
respectfully, and hoping you are all
the same, Hashamuri Togo.
P. Sunless you seek my Hon.
services as war correspondence, L I
shall stay in United American States
and study war game from first page
where one may learn it several differ I
,nt ways. H. T. {

"The wheat crop out our way is
mighty fine" remarked Old Bill Mis-
givens. AZ have a neighbor, Silas
Doodlemyer, who is naturally the
most cheerful cuss l hev ever seen.
Silas never got discouraged during
the crop failure years. He just kept
on planting and when the seed didn't
sprout he would quote that old piece
of poetry in the old Third reader
which started out, IF at first you don't
succeed etc. Well Sile just went on
till he had sowed five times in sue
cession. This year the huh bunch
started up. The last crop sowed come
first; then the seed he sowed year
ago last fall come right on booming;
then come the crop he sowed the year
before and so on till there were five
crops all a growing at once. And
here was the curious thing. When
the seed sowed two years ago started
it heaved last years sowing out OF
the ground, but it carried up with it
,a,l hot tho SnaH that
come up first kept right on growing.
When the next seed lower down start
ed it heaved up some more ground
and so on, till one day Sile went out
and saw that the top of his field
seemed to have been raised right up
eight feet higher than it was few
months before. He couldn't under
stand it till he commenced to exam |
ne and discovered that he had five
story wheat crop; that is, there were
i've crops growing one on top of the
,ther. Silas said he reckoned there
want nothing to do but just let ma
,ure take its course its wonders to
perform. When it come harvest time
lie went in and cut the top crop. In
/ few days the next crop below was
'ipe and he cut that, and the next
week he cut the third crop. The fol-
owing week he cut the fourth and
he next week gathered the bottom
rop. There was one drawback. The

THE IRISH IN THE WAR.

Readers of Kipling will recall the
sad fate of the Irish patriot who at.
tempted to sow the seeds O. seditior
in one of the queens own Irish regi-
ments; what they did to him was a.
plenty.
1t is the Irish way, and 50 it isn't
strange that this colossal conflict
opens with Ireland pledging fealty,
and eager to join England in united
array against her continental enc
mics. And this, too, just when Ulster
and the rest of Ireland seemed on the
verge of civil war, which Threatened
to spread to all parts of the United
Kingdom. Now Orangemen and Ma
tionalists are making common cause,
and even serving in the same regI-
ment, their own differences forgot
ten, in the face of a foreign foe.
Which, however, is no surprise, for
that is the way with Ireland. They
may and do abuse England a good
deal, and not always without cause;
they may even fight her on occasion.
But they fight for her when she needs
first class fighting men, which the
Irish are wherever found. In the
British army are many Irish regi-
ments and they have glorious tradl-
lions which date back long before
Waterloo, and on down through the
Crimea, the Sepoy mutiny, the Boer
war and many lesser conflicts in be-
tween.
Someone has said that an lrishman
knows no fear, and that greater 5rav-
ery than that the world knows not.
But, whatever their feelings in the
fight, their record speaks for itself,
and tells a brave story of the battle
line, of forlorn hopes and last ditch
tenacity which compares well with
Sparta's dauntless sons, and any 9TH
er fighting race from then until the
present time. After this terrible war
is over, let us hope that English and
Irish sentiment, newly cemented, shall
find a peaceful basis for the settle
ment of their homegrown grievances.
The world will have too much of war
ere that time comes.

~ NE day when l went out to
my woodpile, or rather my
~ pile of stumps, l observed two
large ants, the one red, the
other much larger, nearly half an
inch long and black, fercely contend
ing with one another. Having once got
hold, they never let go, but struggled
and wrestled and rolled on the chips
necessarily.
Looking further l was surprised to
find that the chips were covered with
such combatants; that it was not a
duellum but bellum-a war between
two races of ants, the red always pit
ted against the black and frequently
two red ones to one black The leg
ions of these myrmidons covered all
the hills and wales in my woodward
and the ground was already strewn
with the dead and dying, both red and
black.
1t was the only battle which l have
ever witnessed, the only battle field /
ever trod while the battle was raging;
internecine war-the red republicans
on the one hand and the black imperi-
alists on the other On every side
they were engaged in deadly combat,
yet without any noise that | could
hear; and human soldiers never
fought so resolutely.
l watched couple that were fast
locked in each others embrace, in a
little sunny valley amid the chips,
now at monday prepared to fight till
the sun went down or life went out. |
The smaller red champion had fas-
tened himself like wise to his adver-
sary's front, and through all the tum-
blings on that field never for an in
slant ceased to gnaw at one of his
feelers near the root, having already
caused the other to go by the board;
while the stronger black one dashed
1im from side to side, and, as | saw
IN looking nearer, had already di-
rested him of several of his members.
They fought with more pertinacity
han bull dogs. Neither manifested
he least disposition to retreat. 1t
vas evident that their battle cry was
Conquer, or die~ In the meanwhile,
here came along single red ant on
he hillside of this valley, evidently
ull of excitement, who either had dis
,atched his foe, or had not yet taken
art in the probably the lat
err, for he had lost none of his limbs
whose mother had charged him to '
eturn with his shield or upon it.
Or perchance he was some Achilles,
yho had nourished his wrath apart,
nd had now come to avenge or res
ue his Patroclus. He saw this I'M I
quail combat from afar-for the S
lacks were nearly twice the size of S
he reds. He drew near with rapid /
ace till he stood on guard within v
alf an inch of the combatants; then, l
-atching his opportunity, he sprang t
pom the black warrior, and COM l
fenced his operations near the foot l
f his right foreleg, leaving the foe h
, select among his own members; t
nd so there were three united for b
