Tacoma-There is an unusual demand
for rutabagas and local commission
men say they are unable to get enough
receipts to supply the trade. This
vegetable is now being received from
North Yakima and only few farmers
Of that section of the state are grow
ing them. Farmers in the Puyallup
valley and other farming districts of
Puget Sound have been unable to grow
rutabagas because of worms. It is
said the young plants in the fall are
attacked by the pests and destroyed.
Farmers have attempted repeatedly to
combat the worms but have been un-
successful in this section. Produce
merchants say a few years ago no bet
ter rutabagas were grown than those
sent out from this part of the country.
Butter is firmer and is soon due for
an advance. Dealers attribute this to
the reopening Of some condensed milk
factories that take a good part of the
surplus butter fat. Eggs are firm.
Cheese is drug on the market. Very
little OF the imported cheese has been
received here since the outbreak OF the
European war.

JURY GETS CASE.
Trial of James BiiIadcau Completed
In County Court.

The entire day in county court Tues
day was given over to finishing up the
trial Of state versus James Billadeau,
who was charged with robbing c. Morton
Hubbard of South Hero of the sum of
1923 when both were out on a good time
last November The State rested its case
, in the morning after several witnesses
had been examined and then Bil,adcau' $
family and. finally, Billadeau himself
were placed on the stand by the defense.
The courts charge to the Jury was
finished late in the afternoon after At
torney J. j. Enright had closed his
argument for the defense and States
Attorney Hopkins had made his plea
Chief of Police Russell and Police
Officers Barry and Brode who made
the arrest of Billadeau, were the prin-
cipal witnesses in the morning. Chief
Russell testified that on a visit to the
Jail he had interviewed Biadeau and
asked him if he wished to make state
ment although he warned the man that
ne was not obliged to do so and that
anything he might say would be used
against him. Billadeau at that time
asked the chief If he would try to .ct
him off on a light sentence provided he
pleaded guilty. He also had much more
discriminating testimony to offer
Police Officers Barry and Brodic
testified to the strange actions Of Bilia-
deau on the night he was arrested.
l}iladeau and Hubbard were going down
BATTERY street when Officer Barry first
saw them. AS soon as Biladeau saw the
officer he separated from Hibbard and
went down the other side of the road.

NATIONAL FOREST PERHAPS
That the federal government may be
willing to establish a national forest
ON Nermsht territory was brought to
the attention of the Essex county
delegation this afternoon by state
Forester Halves. The representatives
are considering the matter. If such a
proposal is favoraby considered, an
enabling act will he introduced which
will allow the national forestry de-
partment to purchase land in Essex
county for that purpose The govern
mcnt will probably buy cut-ovcr land
and will plant it, as has been done in
other states In New Hampshire over
100000 acres of cut-ovcr land have
thus been purchased at cost of about

Department and the national legis-
lators awakened to the fact that our
bluejackets were the vie.ims OF official
blindness. Congress in 1851 put n
daily limit of the measure OF food to
he allowed in a ration, and nine years
later il established the value Of the
ration at 30 cents. That Is. IL the
sailor did not draw his ration II had
a communicative value of 30 cents.
That sum then rightly represented
the cos Of the food supplied by Uncle
Sam to the enlisted mon Of the navy.
But as the wears grew following the
civil war the items OF that dietary be-
cam. generally cheaper. and in 1901
the food supplied under the terms Of
the ration cost the Navy Department
on an average is cents instead Of 30.
That meant that IL the men could
go INTO the open market, after COM
muting tne entire ration, they could
actually buy 80 cents worth OF food
In place Of that costing IS cents. which
h Government ration represented.
The Navy Department then set about
rearranging the constituents OF the
ration So that the men would have
a wide variety to draw upon while get
ting the body building or fuel values

ties reduced the dietary scale TO a
matter Of calories or nutrient units.
Such was the state OF affairs eight
years ago.

FLOWERS THAT NEVER FADE

IT HE florists supply houses IN the
large cities are offering for sale
each year everlasting flowers,
often called immortel,es, in larger
numbers and in a greater variety.
These. it should be understood. are
not artificial flowers. but natures own
products. They may be divided into
three general classes: first, flowers
which are without any artificial treat
ment, Of pleasing shades of colors and
which neither wither nor fade when
they are dry; second, flowers which
are dipped into some kind OF preser-
vat.ve which causes them to retain
their color and shape; third. flowers
which are dyed to produce other co,prs
than those which nature gave them.
and II necessary dipped also in a pre-
sentative.
These natural, preserved and dyed
flowers have come 50 far mostly from
European countries, especially France
and Germany, where the art of dyeing
and preparing them has been per-
fccted. The everlasting flowers which
need no artificial treatment have for
the most part been imported from
tneSe sam" countries. lNeSe nave,
however, for many years been grown
in this country on a small scale by
many amateur gardeners. They are
easy Of culture. are mostly ANIMALS
and not being ovcrpariicular about

most any part Of the United States.
The following is a list of the differ
ent everlasting flowers. the seeds Of
