BARKING DOG; PAW
ING HORSE SAVE BARN

The barking of dog and the
paving of a horse probably saved
the barn on the John Coleman ranch
from burning down one night this
week. The dog barked so fiercely
and consistently that he wakened
Harry, who sleeps in a tent near
the house, and when he stepped out
a good blaze had started in the cor
ner of the barn. He called his
brother Cecil and they had the fire
out in a short time. This all hap
pened about midnight, and as no
one had been in the barn since
8 o'clock, it is presumed that a
spark from a pipe smoldered all
that time before bursting into
flame.

Kills Coyote
With Rock

Some ball player that man Meeks
would have made, and Connie
Mack or John McGraw may sign
him yet, when the news get scat
tered broadcast of his extraordin-
ary and single-handed feat of rum
ming down a coyote and pelting it's
pelt with rocks at every jump till
the wild-eyed and ferocious beast
gave up the ghost and, talk about
speed, Mr.. Meeks accomplished all
this ere Werner Blair could hasten
for the gun a few yards away.
This all happened Wednesday when
the lean and lanky varmint came
prowling around the ranch in search
of a satisfying morsel of food, but
Mr.. Meeks lived too long in Dakota
to be daunted by an ordinary coyote
so he gave chase and with the skill
of David of old soaked his Goliath
in the ear with pebble.

Buy + Fruit
For Casl,

For the first time in our history,
the cash buyers have entered the
valley. A few odds and ends here
and there have sold from time to
time for cash, but in the knowledge
of The Spokesman no cash buyers
ever operated here generally.
A. F. Carpenter & Co. of North
Yakima are carrying a couple of
ads this week announcing their in
tention to pay cash for fruit and
are offering 37ac for Carmen and
Champion peaches, f. .. b. White
Bluffs or Hanford. 1t is reported
that another concern will enter the
field the last of the week, who will
also pay cash for the fruit.
The fact that the cash buyer is
really here will cause rejoicing
among a good many of the growers
who have hoped and prayed for his
coming for a long time.

R.F I'd. Meets
Approval

r. j.. Roberts and Irving Wright,
who circulated the regular form
petition sent out by the Depart
ment for the establishment of a
rural free delivery, secured the
names of between so and 60 heads
of families in a couple of days, the
first of the week. Everyone to
whom it was presented signed it,
with the exception of about doz-
en- in the immediate vicinity of the
old townsite. These refused to
sign because they said they pre-
ferred to get their mail at the Of
flee Of Bluffs.
There are still about 80 families
who want to be served by the
r. r. d. and as soon as their
names are attached to the petition
it will be sent to the Department
with request for early action.
The exact route will be selected by
the inspector when he comes to ap-
prove the service and in this selec-
tion he will be governed almost
entirely by the route that promises
to serve the greatest number over
the shortest ronte practicable.

Money Order
Blanks Stolen


Money order forms, Nos. 26010
to 26200, inclusive, were on July
20, stolen from Yonkers (Station
q, New York, and since it is rea-
sonable to believe that they will be
forged and attempts made to cash
them at stores, banks, hotels, etc,
everyone should be on the lookout,
and in the event any are presented
for payment steps should be taken
to cause the arrest of the offender.

George A. Lee. one of the nine
republican candidates for governor
will deliver an address to the White
Bluffs-Hanford people at the Cod
ding hall this evening. Mr.. Lee is
one of the leading candidates and
is a fluent talker. On account of
this valley being somewhat isolated
from the thoroughfares, it is prob
able that this will be our only
chance to hear gubernatorial cam
didate, and a good crowd should
turn out. A number from Han
ford will be in attendance.

ToCan With
out Sugar

High cost of sugar at the pres
ent time is causing considerable
worry among the housewives who
desire to do their accustomed can
ming of fruit. With the view of
meeting this problem, the State
Experiment station at Pullman has
issued a popular bulletin on Can
ming Without Sugar" There is a
common notion among housewives
that to do canning effectively, a
considerable amount OF sugar is
necessary.
DR.. j. S. Caldwell, author of the
above mentioned bulletin, calls at
tention to the fact that practically
all fruits may be canned without
the use of sugar. Such fruit pre-
serves more of the natural appear
ance and flavor than does the fruit
put up in heavy sugar syrup; is
fully as palatable and much more
easily digested; is in better condi-
tion for use in cooking, and is
available for all purposes for which
fruit canned in syrup could be
used. The bulletin points out that
while heavy sugar syrup aids in a
slight degree the prevention of the
growth of the yeast and bacteria
which cause spoilage, perfect ster-
illzation makes the use of sugar
unnecessary.
The bulletin gives detailed di-
rections for canning without sugar
by the "Cold Pack Method" and by
the "Open Kettle Method" At
tention is also called to methods of
canning in tin cans, together with
recipes for canning with the use of
sugar for those whose purses will
permit of this method at the pres
ent time. A number of valuable
are made in regard to
the handling of fruits, containers,
etc., with view to economizing
labor and insuring a better preser-
walton of fruit. The bulletin may
be obtained upon application to
the Experiment Station.

CRISIS FOR NATIONS T0ILERs.

What the laborer didn't see under
the Republican regime was that High
Tariff does not regulate wages, but
ma kes 1t possible for the manufacturer
to SO regulate prices that he can con
troll labor. The farmer, with his char
acteristic self-reliance and naturally in
dependent spirit, asked no favors. All
he wanted was an equal chance with
other business men. Wilson saw the
farmers interests in a big way.

gave greater direct benefits to tho
farmers than any legislation enacted

GOLDEN ms TRANCE

Accident insurance is a successful
method of converting a sprained
ankle into real money. 1t is the only
method known by which man can
fall down the elevator shaft and re-
ceive his reward in this life.
Government experts have .sh wn
by careful estimates that prior TO the
introduction of the habit of paying
people for getting hurt accidents were
few and far apart. There was no in
centlve for a man to 90 out and turn
an ankle or grow a carbuncle on the
back of his neck. One of the most IN
profitable things anybody could do was
to break a leg, for it left feeling
of extreme annoyance without any
cash surrender value. People were
more careful of their legs and arms in
those days than they are now, and
did not allow them to be nicked and
bent out of shape with so much free
dom. \ great many men went through
life with the same number of legs that
they started ont with. without real
ling that they could be insured for
more than they were worth.
While accident insurance is in many
respects a great boon, it has too cften
proven corrupting influence There
is something about an accident insur
ance policy which is paid up for the

DADDY'S EVENING
TALE s.
CALL ON SHY DRAGON.
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER

AN old Dragon lived alone" said
Daddy. near the woods where the
Brownies and Gnomes spent all their
time"
"Oh, dear me-" said Nancy q will
be afraid of the woods, Daddy"
Silly, indeed" said Nick Why,
we would never see the Dragon, I'm
sure. Think of all the times we go
to the woods-we never have seen
a sign of one"
Well" said Daddy, there is moth
ing to be frightened of when you go
in the woods. For the Dragon who
lives there is very, very shy. He
even thinks that is queer himself.
1t was long, long time before the
Brownies and the Gnomes became
friendly with him. They had to coax
and coax him to come to their party
one afternoon, but when he had de-
cided to go he was so pleased that
he said he would give one, too.
shall tell you how it happened:
One day a little Gnome suggested
Brownies that they pay a call upon
old Dragon. They all thought it
fine scheme, and off they went, all to-
gether. They arrived at the cave in
the woods where the old Dragon lived,
and the little Gnome who had started
them off knocked on the cave with
piece of rock
Come in, come in, said a voice
that sounded like a low roar. 1t
was rather a shaky roar, too.
And in trooped all the little
Gnomes and Brownies. We've come
to ask you to our party this after
noon,' they said in chorus.
I'm too shy to come
What?' they all exclaimed in sur
prise. A big old Dragon shy!'
Yes, it's quite true said the old
Dragon very mournfully i know it's
