the Kennewick Fruit Exchange Sat-
urday afternoon. I. Smith contem-
plates being absent the greater por-
tion of the time of his term of Office
and w. H. Layson was elected in
his stead. Fred Tweedt was elected
to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of w. H. Witt.
1t was reported at the meeting
that sixty five growers and business
men had become stock holders in
the new incorporation since its in
ception two months or SO ago. One
coincident that was pointed out

WILL HANDLE
EVERYTHING
District Association to Provide
Market for All Produce---
Elect Officers
written for The Courier. }

Some fifty members of the Ken
newick District Fruit Growers AS.
sociation met IN annual session in
the Commercial Club rooms on Tues.
day afternoon.
Manager J. B. Olinger reported
in detail the business of the year
and the present financial status oi
the association. There are assets
that will be finally available. after
all debts are paid, of over $500.
Provision has been already made
for the payment of all current bills
to date. The association is not
bankrupt.
Secretary E. 0. Keene made an
informal report which dealt mostly
with the successful effort made by
the association in marketing the
strawberry crop of 1918 and the re.
markable fact that through the aid
of Sales Manager Perham of the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors and
his assistants the growers of the
Kennewick district received from
fifty cents to one dollar crate more
for their fruit than ever before and
the association made record fol
strawberry sales never before equaled
anywhere in the Northwest.
After vigorous discussion of the
policy of the association in handling
the strawberry crop, it was voted,
without, dissenting voice, that the
association should handle the straw
berry crop of its members for the
year 1914, and that they may be
shipped under the Big Y brand with
the Kennewick stamp or label on
crates and hallocks. With over one
hundred fruit growers under con-
tract to sell their fruit through the
association there is no doubt that
sufficient tonnage can be secured to
justify this action.
There was but ore sentiment on
the question Of grade and pack and
that was that strictest honesty is the
only policy for the association; that
no small, inferior or misshapen Der.

NO FIGHT JEWELL PlNCHEDl

Fight fans were made aware the
first of the week of an indefinite
postponement of the Jewell -Thomp-
son benefit smoker at Pasco this week.
The latter part of the week Harry
Jewell was arrested on the charge
Of highway robbery and is now in
Jail awaiting the next court session.
The alleged assault took place a
week ago Monday night upon the
person of an old man IS years OF
age who was on his way from Bur-
bank to Seattle and netted Harry
Jewell 81.
Jewell was implicated in the affair
by one of his pals, two of whom
were arrested on suspicion. AT
their trial they plead not guilty but
later one confessed and "squealed'
on Jewell, who was Immediately
arrested. Jewell states in his con-
fession that he got but four of the
$34 that the old man was robbed of,
his companions short changing him
in the deal. The victim was brutally
beaten up it is said.

PRIZE FOR WINNING PHRASE

The Kennewick Fruit Exchange
will offer prize of IS to the person
who submits the phrase selected to
use upon the labels for Kennewick
fruit. The label design has been
selected but the committee which
has charge, composed of Chas. III.
Collins, 1. Smith and U. r. Urch.
wants suitable phrase to use upon
it. A picture of the valley as shown
on the front cover of the CONNER
cial Clubs latest booklet will be
used as design.
All phrases or trade mark sug-
gestions should be mailed to Chas.
H. Collins on or before Monday,
Jan 26th.

ries should be allowed to go as extra
fancy, and that the bottom and
middle of the box should be just as
good or a little better than the top.
OF course this is only common
honesty. anything else is fraud
no honorable man wishes. to stand
for.
Perhaps the most significant and
far reaching action taken was the
passage of a resolution providing
that the association should under
take marketing of all sorts of pro-
duce during the coming year.
The association was organized
primarily for the marketing of fruit
only and 80 the contracts read. The
marketing of other produce such as
asparagus, canteloupes, potatoes,
etc., was not contemplated and has
only been undertaken as an accom-
mediation to individual members.
Naturally, owing to the lack OF
marketing machinery, the results
have not always been satisfactory.
It is thought that the time is now
ripe for an advance movement, and
that a scheme of cooperation be-
tween the Fruit & Produce Co. and
the Fruit Growers Association can
be worked out to the advantage of
the members of both organizations.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Storland, Desgranges and Perry was
appointed to work out details, Sc
cure if possible, the cooperation of
the Fruit & Produce Co. and report
to the trustees for further action.
Trustees for 1914 were elected as
follows: j. J. Rudkin, John Stor-
land, D. J. Beinhart, J. F. Perry
and A. G.. Hart.
At the close of the session the
trustees met and organized by elect
ing A. C. Hart. Pres; John Stor-
land. Vice Pres. ; J. F. Perry, Sec. !;
D. J. Beinhart, Treas. and J. J..
Rudkin delegate to central.
By virtue of office Messrs. Rudkin
and Hart became trussees of the
Yakima Valley Fruit Growers AS

PROH|bS, HOLD
ALl-DAY PRAYER
Faithful W.C.T.U.'s Determined
to Drive Saloons From Wash
ington This Year

With special prayers for statewide
prohibition, members and friends
of the North Yakima W. G. I. U.
yesterday observed the National
Prohibition day. All over the coun-
try, say dispatches, Thursday, tenn
perance societies held services IN the
interest of prohibition and the ma:
tional fight against the liquor traffic.
The meeting at North Yakima was
addressed by its president, Mrs. Ada
Whitney, who delivered an address.
She was followed by Mrs. Myrtle
johnson, secretary of the state So
ciety, who explained the methods
by which the proposition will be
submitted to the people. She is
confident, she said, that this would
mean a victory in Washington,
placing the state in the column with
other dry" states.
The resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution of
the United States prohibiting the
sale, transportation or importation
of liquor in the country, which was
introduced by Congressman R. P.
Hobson, was approved, and the
proclamation for national constitu-
tional prohibition was read.
One of the ladies of whom in
quiry was made regarding the pro-
gram for the late afternoon and eve
ming replied that prayers for those
whom they believed not fully in ac-
cord with the prohibition movement
in this state would be offered.

MAKE CONCENTRATED APPLE
CIDER ON COMMERCIAL SCALE

cider ice is then crushed and put into
centrifugal machines such az are used
in making cane sugar. When the
cider ice is whirled rapidly the con-
centrated joice is thrown off and col
lected. The water remains in the
machine as ice.
At ordinary household refrigerator
temperatures this sirup-like cider will
keep perfectly for a month or six
weeks, and if kept at low tempera-
lures in cold storage will keep for
prolonged periods. At ordinary house
temperatures it, Of course. will keep
a shorter time.
To make the concentrated strip,
the cider mill must add to it's equip
ment an ~ice-making machine and cen
trifugal machinery. SO that the process
is not practicable on a small scale.
The specialists are hopeful. however,
that the commercial test soon to be
inaugurated in Oregon will show that
it will be possible for apple growers
to concentrate their excess cider and
ship it profitably to the far South or
to other nOnprOducing regions. The
| specialists also believe that 1t will en-
| able apple producers to prolong the
| market for cider.

can be greatly improved: the material
removed in the Trimmings can be
burned as frewood. and the wood
ashes left are so rich in potash as to
make a valuable fertilizer.
The ood lot is. perhaps, the only
farm crop to which the farmer has
not considered it necessary TO devote
any care. His grains are soWed on
carefully prepared soil: his vegetables
are cultivated, and his fruit trees are
pruned n sprayed: his forest trees
alone are left to look out for them
selves. This is the more remarkable
when it is taken into consideration
that any labor expended on the wood
lot not only improves the final crop.

No detailed technical knowledge is

Must Find Enemy MOtiOnless.
The ideal conditions for a subma-
rine attack consist in finding the
enemy mOtionless in the water: then
only can the submarine hope for
success.
the submarine if proper precautions
are AIKEN. as is shown by the actions
of the allied sea forces which have
been Smelling the German flank for
several days. These vessels nave been
operating in a very restricted area for
some time, certainly sufficiently long
Tor a group of submarines to proceed
against them from any German port.
Their position has been known to
everybody and it would appear an
ideal chance for a few submarines to
either destroy them or to drive them
off. But nothing of the sort has hap
pened. These ships have been left
unmolested to harass the German
flank, to prevent their approach to
the coast, and to enfilade their tren-
hes for several miles inland. They
are small vessels of such low speed
that they could not escape from q
submarine if attacked.
eff the submarine is all that it's ad.
mirers believe, it is incOnceivable why
these vessels have been left to inter
fere so seriously with the major ope

THE war IS only at its beginnin!
yet, and many lessons m a be learne'
before it's finish, but so far nOthin
has occurred to encourage the belle
that the submarine is supreme; on tn
contrary it is losing prestige daily
Many factors tend to make the sub

trees the advantage in this struggle
by removing the poorer ones which
interfere with their development
First Of all defective trees should he
removed. This includes trees attack
ed by insects or fungi (ccuksl. trees
with hre-SCarred butts. with tops
broke of by wind or lightning and
IN general all trees which are un-
thrifty from any cause. Next come
the trees of Door form. such as very
crooked or very branchy ones. which
are interfering with the growth or
better formed neighbors. And finally
are the trees of less valuaSie species.
such as dogwood. ironwood. and horn
beam. These not only take up space
that might better be occupiede by such
species as oak, hickory. and ash. but
also, as a rule, produce seed more
abundantly and so reproduce them
selves at the expense of more deSir-
able trees.
While the wood removed in these
Trimmings is frequently of no value
for other purposes, it can practically
always be used to advantage for fuel.
In this way the work can be made To
pay for itself, particularly when the
future use of the wood ashes for fer
tiliZer is borne in mind. The essen
tial point to remember in making uch
Trimmings is hat the wood lot is a
tree society, in which the best trees
should be given every chance to attain
the greatest possible development 10y
the removal and utilization of the
unfit.
