ADVOCATES BARRELS FOR
LOWER GRADE OF APPLES
J.B. SchOnS Would Pack Only Extra
Fancy Grades of Apples in Boxes
Would Make Big Saving

J. B. Schons, owner Of considerable
property in the vicinity Of Leavenworth
and also a member Of the board OF
trustees of the Wenatchee North Cen
trail Fruit Distributors, believes that it
would be a good program for this sec
ton Of the state to plan on the elimi-
nation OF boxes for use in packing all
of the lower grades Of apples. In re-
gard to it he says in an interview with
Wenatchee World reporter:
L am convinced that none but our
extra fancy grade should go into boxes.
Our iancies and c grades could be
handled to greater advantage if they
were packed in barrels. This would
distinguish the high class fruit OF this
section from the lower grades. By
packing these lower grades in barrels, a
saving of 10 cents box would be
made. The difference in grading,
packing and the cost of paper and
boxes as between the cost Of putting
them in barrels, would easily amount to
10 cents box. Barrels for apples are
sold at Is 10 80 cents each and the
packing amounts to about 10 cents a
barrel
Under the present method OF cul-
tivation, about rs per cent or more OF
the apples Of this valley are extra fancy.
Some orchards are so well taken care
of, the pruning and timing SO well
done that even 90 to o5 per cent Of
the apples will 60 in the best grade.

Death Il Mrs. Harry Smith.

/ This community was shockel
| Tuesday morning when the sad new
was passed around that Mrs. E
Harry Smith had suddenly
succumbed, as the result of convul
sions following cnild birth, at he
home on the Clay Smith farm north,
vest of Nezperce. All that loving
relatives and friends and the besl
medical skill available could do to
preserve her life for those she loved
proved unsuccessful and her young
spirit went to its immortal home.
The funeral took place from the
family home at 10 o'clock this
morning and the very. large attend
ance betokened the high esteem in
which the deceased vas held in the
community. Rev. G. Fl. Ellis con-
Quoted the services. The remains
we're laid to rest in the Nezperce
cemetery. whence a long procession
of mourning relatives and friends
followed and witnessed the last sad
rites.
The departed was "a years of age
and had been the happy wife of
Harry Smith since January 8, 1912,
and was the mother Of one child, the
babe which survives her. She was
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. c.
Quigly of ferdinand, whence she
had moved with her parents some
years ago from Folsom. S. d. Hers
had been a life of devotion to those
near her, and her death brings great |
sorrow not only to the relatives but
to a host of friends.
This is the second like visitation |
Of the grim messenger to the ber-
eaved husband in a few short years
and deep indeed must be his hurt, |
but he has many good friends who
#ill gladly Tend What of human help
hey can to sustain him through the
ordeal.

GOVERNOR HAWLEYS

Endorses Policy of Presidens Wilsan,
and If Elected WIN Werk i'm Har-
mony With Administration.

Ex-Governor Hawley addressed =
good sized audience at the Christian
church last Friday evening on the
political issues of the day and dis
cussed the senatorial situation of the
state and spoke in his own behalf as
a candidate for the Office of U. S.
Senator.
He paid glowing tribute to Presi-
dent Wilson, showing where he had
accomplished more in the nineteen
months that he has been president
since the close of Lincoln's admins
tration. He pointed out the wonder
full effect the new currency Law viii
have on the financial conditions Of
the United States in the future and
how money panic will be an impoz-
sibility under the new system. He
stated that before another year OF
the present administration had
passed loans viii be made to the
farmers direct from the govern
mens uron approved securities under
the plan now being formulated by the
president. He dwelt upon this Sub
ject with great emphasis. declaring
himself to be heartily in accord with
the administration and that II elected
would exert all his influence and
ability to help put this measure
through congress.
Mr.. Hawley showed how the mu-
nicipal, county and state govern
ments could borrow money at a much
less rate of interest and yet the Sc
curity was in fact based 10 a great
extent upon the value Of the land.
He stated that railroad bonis could
be sold where they draw from four
to six per cent interest and where the
farmer had to pay eight per cent On
good farm land loans, yet the rail-
road bonds and other securities paid
a much less rate of interest ca Sc
curity not as good.
He made an earnest appeal to the
voters to send senator and repre-
sentatives back to Washington who
are Ia accord with President Wilson
in order that they might be able to
accomplish more for the people and
where our state has not re-
ceived the many benefits il vas en-
titeled to in the past; that 10 get the
