titled "The Worlds Leading POets:"
shakespeare was godfather to one
Of Jonson's children. and after the
christening, Shakespeare being In a
brown study. Jonson came to cheer
him up and asked him why he was so
melancholy.

BulIdozino the Bull,

A few years ago | took the short
course at our college of agriculture.
and. besides learning how to judge
calves and so forth. learned the uni

The bull took to his heels and ran
until he came to a good sized elm tree

gave one startled look and then made
for home the straightest and swiftest
way. 1t took him through two barbed

Kennewick as go-to. church SUNDAY.
The idea is to have everyone, es.

Oliver Wendell Holmes said: Il

Scotland still produces pearlss found
mainly in the fresh water mussel.

used incidentally in the west and still

Nav Weddings.

In ancient Rome there was held In
May a festival called the Lemuria, or
feast of the Lemures, which was a
ceremony in honor Of the spirits or
departed souls. 1t became with the
Romans what we should call bad
form" to have matrimonial feasts at
the season of a solemn ritual, being no
doubt thought to be an insult to the
dead to marry at such a time. From
this a number of stories grew of the
revenge made by the outraged ghosts
upon those who dared to disregard
them, and If anything unfortunate hap
pened to a couple who had been mar
ried in May it would. Of course, have
been put down to retribution. So the
repugnance to May weddings arose.
and its influence has lasted ever since.
even to our time-Exchange.

Stage Fright.


Very few people are really free from
liability to stage fright. and the vet
eran in public life is just as likely to
be affected as is the novice. Attacks,
moreover, frequently come when they
are least expected. Hence no speaker
or artist can face an audience and
feel sure that he will not have to suf-
fer from the tOrtures of this particu-
larly painful form of nervousness.
Musicians, of course, are the worst
sufferers. The performer on string
ed instrument is helpless If his hand
trembles. while the clear enunciation
Of singer can be ruined by that
''catch in the throat" or that twitch-
ing of the lips which is perhaps the
simplest and most common manifes-
tation of stage fright.

A Eriend In Need.

A speaker in an English election re-
Iates the following incident: One night
he spoke in the poultry market at
Whitchurch. The next morning
young man stopped him in the street
and said:
II was looking well after you last
night"
The speaker expressed surprise at
the necessity.
The young man continued his story:
II saw young man come into the
meeting with his coat pockets bullying
out in way that made me suspicious.
Two of US followed him In. He stood
at the back of the room. and we stood
one on each side of him. Gently but
firmly we pressed against him. There
was cracking sound of breaking
eggs, and the man was out of action"

PRICES ANNOUNCED"

newick Association is certainly one
of the two principal marketing fac
tors of Kennewick." 1t is false for
another reason, namely, that no one
at present knows what the growers
will finally be paid until the affairs
of the bankrupt concern are settled
up.
Three of my neighbors hold claims
against the Collins company aggre-
eating over $500, $1,000 of this was
for peaches consigned" to The
Chas. H. Collins Co. We have been
led to believe that those who dealt
with the Collins company knew
when they delivered their fruit just
what they were to get for it. 1t was
brought out in the testimony of the
claimant and of the Collins COM
pany's representative that a very
large percentage of their peach bus
mess was done on consignment and
that some large consignments are
not yet settled for.
How then has anyone the face to
state what were the net receipts to
the grower from the defunct firm?
I represented at the hearing a
neighbor who has claim for grapes
sold the Collins Co. and never paid
for. There are other similar claims
for grapes. Who can report the
returns on grapes until these claims
are settled?
Pears that went out from the Ken
newick district brought to the asso-
citation II cents per box more than
the figures in the printed table last
week. Assuming that the figures
given for sales to the Collins Co. are
correct. Mr.. Bartletts pears brought
him $1,000 more from the associa-
ton than that firm would have given.
There has been much controversy
about the returns for Strawberries
last season. The matter presents
itself to me as follows: I under
stand that Collins Co. did not ship
any culls as culls or canningstock. !"
If so, all the stuff shipped by them
went out as first class. If it was
first class stuff, it should be COM
pared as to prices with the extra
fancy grade of the association which
brought to the growers $3.46 per
crate or Is cents per crate
more than the Collins Co. an
nounced. And in addition the
members of the association marketed
their culls or canning stock at an
average of 81. 40 to the grower.
If on the other hand, those who
packed what the association sold as
canning stock or culls in with the
extra fancy and so received So. % [
for culls and all, simply perpetrated !
a fraud on the consumer, thing |
that cannot be repeated very often.
Either horn of the dilemma leaves
the comparative statement on par |
with the rest of the article.

District Fruit Growers Association
early last summer decided that it
was useless to attempt to run down
and answer the false statements
made about it's methods and their
results. Time will usually reveal
the truth and justify the policy of
silence; but one gets tired in time
of being shot at, even with mud
pellets from pop-gun, especially
when the explosions are loud enough
and frequent enough to scare some
interested people. Hence, at the
annual meeting it was voted to give
publicity to the facts as occasion re-
quires.
This is written to call the readers
attention to the article in The Cour-
Ter of last week, entitled "A Com
parison of Fruit Returns for 1872
The 'jokers" in that article are SO
many and so ingenious that it is
well worth careful analysis. We
can then decide whether we wish to
have our business managed accord
ing to the standard ofbusiness ethics
which it reveals.
We quote joker No. 1: The
chief factors in determining the
grower as to the method he wishes
to use in the disposition of his crop
for the year 1914 are the prices re-
ceived last season." Is this true?
Anyone who thinks for himself will
answer mo"
In the first place, many of the
growers are under written contract
to sell through the Association. All
have had an opportunity to with
draw honorably from that contract.
A few have done so; the rest remain
loyal. It is an insult to them to as
sumo that they will sell their honor
for cash.
Suppose that I have a written
contract with Mr.. King to deliver
to him certain produce and that
Mr.. Holmes persuades me to break
that contract by offering me a bride
of a few cents higher price; accord
ing to the quotation above, the chief
factor in determining my action
should be the price received.
No, thank God! Character is still
held higher than cash; and both
briber and bribed would receive the
just contempt of the community.
And yet in the campaign against
the Association this very thing has
been done and is justified by the
statement that the price received is
the chief factor.
Again, the article assumes that a
better price was paid by the Collins
Co. If that were true, the fact
wouldcut no figure in the discussion;
for the Collins Co. is bankrupt, de-
funct, out of business in Kennewick.
For three years it has been bucking
the Association. After the first year
for some reason the company was
re-organized. At the end OF the
second year, after the loss OF thous-
ands Of dollars, another re-organiza-
ton was effected. At the end OF
the third year the concern went into
the hands of a receiver and the
fruitgrOwers of Kennewlck, the en-
ployees of the company and others
are holding the sack for something
like $4,000.
That the Kennewick Fruit Ex-
change is prepared to repeat the ex-
perience, no one believes; though
the article does assert that the Ex-
change will protect the growers
interests to the last ditch"
Some of us know about the last
ditch" and we know it to be place
of boundless slaughter. The growers
who crowded to the recent hearing
before the referee in bankruptcy will
