MAKING IT PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mls-statements on the labels of prepa-
rations but some people continue to
accept ''extracts" of cod liUeys think
ing they will get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
"emulsion" contains real cod Hver oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract" is a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
SCOTS Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Nor wegian cod Eiger oil,
skilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophosphites. Scott $ is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and is en-
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

Need New Grand Stand.
.sThe continued success of the Big
Free Fair depends upon the fair being
kept up to the high standard it has at
tained," said Phil Eastman in his re-
port The exhibits are fulfilling their
purpose. in this respect, but accom-
modations for holding meetings and
demonstrations are lacking. There
should be a suitable building where
lectures and demonstrations can be
given.
1.-The financial success of the fair IS
important, and in considering this, the
present grandstand should be taken
into account The grandstand now in
use, and the bleachers, are inadequate
to meet the demands. The grandStand
and bleachers are the principal source
of revenue of the fair and therefore
must be given attention steel and
concrete grandstand of modern de-
sign is needed
The reason for the financial success
of the fair became apparent following
the reading of President PenwelFs re-
port. He said, in part:
PenwelI's Report.
1--WE undertook to systematic the
work of the fair. We remodelled our
cent that came into the association
and every cent that was paid out,
went thru a cashiers hands. No one
was permitted to buy cents worth
from any place or from anyone with
out written order from the secretary
or myself
Mr.. Eastman and Mr.. Penwen were
appointed on a legislative committee
to select their own assistants to 20

peka's claims for support of the state
fair. The financial statement pre-

MEASURING HAY
IN THE STACK

Estimating the number of tons
of hay in a stack by measuring j:
often resorted to when it is incon
venient or impractical to weigh it
1t is impossible to give a rule for
measuring hay which is entirely
satisfactory. The following one
has often been used, states Profes-
sor E. G. Shafer Of the Washington
Experiment Station at Pullman,
and approximates the correct
weight:
width plus over, divided by
four and squared, then multi
piled by the length and divided
by 512."
The above rule assumes that the
cross section of a stack may be OBJ
tained by dividing the width plus
over measurement by four and
squaring it. Stacks vary so much
in shape that this cannot be abso-
lutely true with all stacks. The
above rule also assumes that there
are 512 cubic feet in ton. The
length of time a stack has been
built, the size of a stack or the
amount it has settled, also the kind
of hay-all influence the weight of
certain volume of hay. The a.
bove or other rules should not be
relied upon unless it is impossible
to weigh hay when it is sold.
Problem-Assume that a hay
stack measures l8 feet wide,
26 feet over distance from
ground on one side up over the
stack and TO the ground on
other side) and 80 feet long.
The solution would be:
18 plus 26 equals AZ
44 divided by equals IL
II squared equals 121
l21 times 80 equals $500 cubic
feet in stack
$500 divided by 512 equals 100
tons.

FRUITGROWERS LOSE
BY STRIKE AGITATION

The threatened railroad strike
has demoralized the fruit market
in this valley as we'll as other
places. The growers received &C
cents net for one car that went ou,
and SIS cents for the other that fol
lowed. Since that time the stuff
has been going out under consign-
ment, the buyers refusing to guar
antee price for fear of glut of
the nearby markets.
The railroad announced Tuesday
that they would refuse to accept
any shipment that would not reach
it's destination before Z a. m. Mon
day, the date set for the strike.
This caused everything to be di-
verted to Seattle and other nearby
points. Two cars went out of
White Bluffs by freight Thursday
and about half a car by express.
Friday, three cars went out by
freight and about half car by ex-
press. In this shipment was a car
of Jonathan apples shipped by the
Bleakley Fruit company. Mr..
Bleakley said that the threatened
strike caused him to change the
destination of the car from St. Paul
to Seattle, with a resultant loss, he
figures, >of about $500.
The railroad will accept ship
ments up to and including Sunday
morning, which will about clean up
the soft fruit in this district. This
leaves only the apples, which, with
the exception of some Jonathans,
will not be ready for market for
some time.
If the fruit that went out this
week will bring anything like a fair
price, and the railroad strike does
not interfere with the apple sales,
the net results to the growers this
year in dollars and cents will ex-
ceed that of all the previous years
put together.

The pamphlets issued by the Sec
retary of state to all voters, con.
tanning the measures to be voted
on next November, are beginning
to reach the voters. A peculiar
feature of them is the fact that no
arguments we're filed against the
seven laws held up for referendum
vote. An active group of politi-
clans circulated petitions to hold
these laws up for referendum vote,
and then forgot all about filing ar
guments against them. Hence the
voter will naturally wonder why
the laws were not allowed to take
effect when passed by the legisla-
ture. 1t looks now as if no serious
campaign will be made against the
referendum measures, and the only
effect Of the referendum petitions
will have been to delay the laws
taking effect for matter of nearly
two years.
