of following the turn in the street.
ketcham drove the machine straight
ahead over vacant lot and through

Evidently &etcham discovered his
mistake at that time, for he immedli-

Blow Your Horn

There would not be near as many
accidents, and those out driving would
feel much safer if every automobilist
would blow his horn when approaching
a curve. One OF our local citizens
told an Echo reporter this week that
on recent trip to Lake Wenatchee
he passed no less than twenty cars
coming in the direction of this city
and not in single instance did the
driver blow his horn. At one turn he
says he narrowly escaped being run
into and only saved his car by running
out to the side of the road. Before
reaching the curve he was able to see
the road several hundred yards ahead
and noticed big cloud OF dust. Hav-
ing already had some close calls he
decided to wait and see what was
making the dust before proceeding
further. He had no more than stopped
his machine when aanother car shot
around the corner without any warning
whatsoever and the driver was so sur
prissd at meeting some one he nearly
crashed into a tree. Our informant
says that had he been in the road at
the time there would certainly have
been a collision as the other fellow
was travelling at a rate of speed that
would make him liable to arrest on a
straight road From other motorists
we hear the same story Nobody blows
their horn"
During the summer months the road
to Lake Wenatchee probably sees as
much or more travel than any other
road in the county, and every auto
mobile driver should use every possible
means to avoid accidents. Horns are
placed on cars to be used, they are

According to Washington reports,
the federal government is beginning
to make itself useful to the business OF
the country. In the last fiscal year the
federal commerce bureau claims credit
for having handled nearly 5000 foreign
trade opportunities, which, when COM
municated to American manufacturers,
resulted directly in exports amounting
to $125, 100000.

ate more rapidly and much of it will
be lost.
The grocery and provision dealers
all tell US that trade has slackened
since the hot weather began. The
dealers in women's wear and the hab-
erdashers all say that trade in their line
has dwindled almost to the vanishing
point. All the women want is some
thing guaranteed to keep them cool.
And the men, about all they want is a
pair of thin trousers, an open necked
shirt, canvas shoes and straw hat.
If it were possible for this hot weather
to last two weeks longer half Of the
stores would find it more economical
to shut up shop, give the clerks va
cation on half pay and 90 fishing.

Apple Buyers Face a Rising Market

Every day the outlook for the apple
growers becomes brighter. The crop
in this valley is not as large as usual.
Perhaps it is even lighter than in any
year since apple growing became the
principal money producing crop in the
Wenatchee valley. Still it is large
enough to bring prosperity to this
whole section if the price at which it
can be sold is reasonably fair. The
fact that the fruit crop the country
over is shorter than for many years is
now definitely known. In some OF the
central states the apple crop is scarcely
one half normal, and in the eastern
states it is short. No fruit section has
so far reported heavy crop. AS these
facts became generally known the past
month the price of Washington apples
stiffened. Upwards of three hundred
thousand boxes have been sold at one
dollar per box, orchard run. In the
past two weeks many growers have re-
fused to sell at this price, showing
there is a reasonable probability OF
higher prices as the season advances.
Two dollars per box for the best grades
of such varieties as Winesap, Delicious,
Winter Banana and Spitz is freely pre-
dicted. The crop of the valley will
likely fall thousand car loads short OF
the crop of either 1918 or 1914. The
perfect organization of the apple in
dustry in this, Douglas, Okanogan and
Grant counties under the leadership OF
Mr.. ]. B. Adams will put the market
ing of the fruit on a business basis.
One of the results of organization that
will benefit the growers is the selling OF
large part Of the crop for cash. I'm
the former method the growers had
often to wait two, three or four months
for his return after the apples were de-
livered. All the apples sold so far
have been on the condition that they
are to be paid for when delivery is
made. After the apples are ripe on
the trees and ready for market there is
an expense of approximately 25 cents
per box for picking, packing, boxing
and hauling to market which must be
paid promptly and it often works a
great hardship on the grower to meet
this expense. If some method could
be worked out whereby the grower
would get his money on delivery OF the
fruit, even if he had to take five cents
per box less, it would be to the grow
ers' advantage. The cotton growers Of
the south gets an order for his money
before the cotton bale is delivered.
Why should the apple grower wait
months Tor his money. Apple selling
is on wrong basis.

The government weather forecasters
do not give US any hope that the hol
weather will come to an end soon.
For more than two weeks the Their
mometer has lowered around the hun
dred mark. The longest unbroken
hot spell the oldest resident remem-
bers. For the last week the air has
been hazy with smoke coming from
over the mountains, where large and
seemingly inextinguishable forest fires
prevail. This has doubtless intensified
the heat. The total absence OF wind
has likewise had the tendency to make
the heat more oppressive. Rain, while
a thing hoped for, is not expected TN
til after the first of September.

There is no longer any doubt that

During heated spell such as we have
had for the past three weeks the house
wife cooks as little as possible and
makes the family live on cold food and

the household economy the husband
agrees because he finds the home
more tenable, all the more because the
heat has taken the edge off his appe-
tite. Social functions and gatherings
are discouraged because of the discom'
