DHprSfiCatiOn the Salvation of the Ap-
ole Grower

For three years. or since 1912, pros
perity has refused to wait upon the
fruit growers of the Wenatchee valley.
The returns from the crop of 1918
proved very unsatisfactory and scarcely
paid the expense Of growing and pack
ing. In some instances fell far short
Of paying the cost Of production. The
returns for the 1918 crop proved more
satisfactory but scarcely made up the
previous years loss, so that 1914 found
the apple growers OF this valley i'll pre-
pared to stand a slump in the one pro
duct upon which they depended to
meet all their financial obligations.
The low prices Of 1914 are due to sew
eral causes. The unorganized method
of marketing apples undoubtedly had
something to do with the low prices,
but the large crop in the eastern and
middle states and the whitening effect
of the great European war on every
thing undoubtedly contributed to the
general decentralization Of the apple
market. Now it is not likely that a
three-fold cause, such as brought about
1914 conditions, will occur again soon,
but some one OF the three causes that
are responsible for those conditions
may develop almost any time and it is
the part Of prudence to hedge against
such a contingency in all possible
ways. The chief OF these ways We be-
heve lies in Investigation. Up to
1912 the profits on apples would pay
for Kansas City Meat, Iowa dairy pro-
duets and Kansas chickens and eggs.
Not one fruitgrower in four had a
horse, COW, pig or chicken on his
place. His sole dependence lay in
apples. For three years this has
ceased to be a dependable source Of
income. It is still possible for the
fruit growers OF Washington to derive
the larger part of their income from
apples but must not put their sole de-
pendence on them. The milk from
one COW, the meat from two pigs and
the eggs from two dozen chickens will
90 far in providing food for the family.
All three OF these animals can De fed
partly on waste and the balance re-
ouired should be and can be raised on
the fruit farm. Then there is the
kitchen garden, which has also been
neglected. That, too, must De made
10 add to the economy Of the frui.
grower. We have simply got to prac-
tice some OF the economies OF those
thrifty Germans we read about, who
make living for family of hall
acre of ground, but do it by intensive
and diversified cultivation Of tine soil.

Much of interest has been happen
ing in the church work this week.
Rev. Brumblay, district superintendent
of the Wenatchee district, presided
over the quarterly conference and
preached an excellent sermon to a
large congregation on Easter morning.
The excellent Sunday School pro-
gram was greatly enjoyed and We feel
that Mrs. Eickmeyer, Grace Hayes

credit for their work in training the
children.
a large congregation listened to an
excellent sermon Sunday evening, the
congregations are growing steadily and
Rev. Hut is greatly pleased with the
interest manifested in the church ser
vices by the young people Of the com
munity.
Miss Edna Woods gave an excellent
lecture on the South American coun-

ENGLAND WARNED WILSON
Sends Strong Protest to Earl Grey
Against Interference with Amer
lean Foreign Trade.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The United
States government today dispatched
a long note to Great Britain insisting
upon an early improvement in the
treatment of American commerce by
the British fleet. 1t gave warning that
much feeling has been aroused in this
country and that public criticism was
general over unwarranted interference
with the legitimate foreign trade of
the United States.
The document, constituting the
strongest representation on this sub
ject made by the United States to any
of the belligerents since the outbreak
of the war, was cabled to Ambassador
Page to be formally presented to Sir
Edward Grey, the British foreign Sec
rotary. It's preparation was begun a
month ago by Solicitor Cone Johnson,
Counsellor Robert Lansing and Secre-
tary of State Bryan and finally during
the last two weeks had the personal
attention of President Wilson himself,
who revised its phraseology with
minute care.

Petrograd Report Says. Third
Attempt to Reach Warsaw
Has Failed.
HEAVY LOSSES FOR TEUTONS
Austrians Advance From carpathians
Crupshed by Cars Forces
Allies Are Pushing Slowly
On in West Flanders.
--latest Dispatches.

Petrograd, Dec. 31.-The Russian
view of the military situation in Po-
land in the light of recent develop
ments is that a definite check has
been administered to the Germans
The evacuation by the Germans of the
village of Mistrzewice, five miles north
of Sochaczew, related officially by the
war office, is regarded by military
critics here, as ringing down the cur
tain on the third German advance to-
ward Warsaw"
At tremendous loss to themselves
the Germans had succeeded in estab-
fishing foothold in Mistrzewice, on
the east bank of the Bzura River, but
their persistent. sledgehammer attacks
in the last three weeks failed to pene-
trate the Russian line before Warsaw.
The Germans steadily threw reinforce
ments into the town, in an endeavor
to extend their position along the
river
When it became evident that the
Austrian advance from the Carpa-
THAN Mountains had failed, the Ger
mans evacuated the yillige in intervals
between Russian attacks. The Aus
trian operations from the Carpathians
evidently formed an integral part of
the general plan of the Germans for
the Warsaw campaign.
Stop Austrian Assault.
The simultaneous attacks of the
Austrians in Western Galicia and from
the Carpathians proved to be a COM
plete failure. Unofficial reports state
that the losses of the Austrians were
enormous and that the Russians have
taken as many as fifty thousand pris-
oners, including many Germans. Train
loads of guns and other war booty
pass daily through Lemberg.
To Close Beigiun's Doors.
Commencing January L, the German
administration in Belgium intends to
close the Belgian borders against all
corners. No more passports will be
issued or recognized, except the spe-
cial military pass.

NEW TURN IN FAMOUS CASE
Question May Arise as to Whether
Georgia Court Can Indict and
Try Condemned Man Again.

Washington Dec. 29.@Justice La
mar of the supreme court has granted
an appeal from the refusal of the fed
eral district court for Northern Geor-
gia to release on habeas corpus pro-
tence for the murder of Mary Phagan,
a 15-year-old factory girl of Atlanta.
Frank is sentenced to die January
%, but Justice Lamar's action effects
an indefinite stay of execution. Thirty
days are given for filing the record of
the proceedings of the lower court.
Immediately after that has been done
the State of Georgia may ask that the
case be advanced for hearing and such
suggestions are generally granted, al
though in the regular course the case
would not come up for a year and
half
The entire court will pass upon
Franks right to seek release from Gus
ground the trial court in Fulton coun-
ty, Georgia, lost jurisdiction over him
by it's failure to have him present
when the jury returned its verdict of
guilty. Should the court decide he was
entitled to ask for the writ, thus re-
versing Judge Newman of the lower
court, the case may be remanded to
the district court for the taking of
evidence in support of the petition.
Should it eventually be held that
Frank must be released from custody,
it is said a question may arise as to
the power of the state to indict and
try him a second time.

TO TALK BUSINESS
South American Bankers Will
Be Guests of Uncle Sam
at Big Conference.
MAY MEAN MORE COMMERCE
European War Affords Opportunity for
independents Trade Among
Nations On This Side.

Washington, Dec. 30.-All Central
and South American nations have
been invited by the United States
government to send their ministers of
finance and leading bankers to Wash
ington for conference with Treasury
Department officials and fnanciers of
this country on commercial problems
confronting the two Americas as a re-
suit of the European war.
Acceptances already have been
cabled by several of the countries and
the conference probably will be held
early in the spring.
Invitations for the gathering were
sent formally through the embassies
and legations here. The plan origi-
mated with Secretary McAdoo of the
Treasury Department, but Secretary
Bryan and President Wilson have
taken an active interest in putting it
into execution. 1t has been suggested
that Congress be asked for an appro-
priation to defray expenses, but
whether or not this is done the visi-
tors will come as the guests of the
United States. The State Department
has a contingent fund available for
such purpose.
Officials of the State, Treasury and
Commerce departments look forward
to the conference as an important
step toward bringing the two Ameri-
can continents into closer CONNER
cial relationship than ever before.
They point out that in the Pan-Ameri-
can movement lies the hope of South
America for financial independence of
Europe, and suggest the possibility
of New York becoming at least a seri-
Gus competitor with London for SUI
premacy as worlds financial center.
1t has long been recognized that the
crux of the difficulties in the way of
commerce between the United States
and other American nations lies in
the question of credits. South and
Central American buyers have been
accustomed to seek and easily obtain
long term credits in Europe.

Washington, Dec 29.-The German
government has formally notified the
American State Department that
American consuls in Belgium must be

authorities and that it is desirable that
some of the consuls be withdrawn for
the present at least. The State De-
partment has not yet taken any action
and is considering what action to take
