Detroit, July 16,-And now comes
Justice Christopher Stein with an
announcement of the courts attitude
on the summer time masher
"A masher," said the justice, lis
not the rarest bird of the world
neither is he entirely new to De-

Il have an idea in mind that l
hope will serve as a warning to all
street corner gladiators.
''The work they would find with
Uncle Sans forces would soon take
this particular form of dcvilishncss
out of them.
GAS matter of fact, in the army
they wouldn't need to mash; every
girl likes soldier after he's been
made a man, and so does every man,
but nobody likes d, masncr. Let a
bunch Of Stalwart soldiers get hold
of masher and they will soon make
a man of him.
"And so when the Washers are
brought here they will first receive
y chance 20 enlist. This failing,
they will have to suffer the judg-
ment of the court.
"And the penalty will be severe"

''More spraying and better fruit"
has been slogan in the Hood River

was spent by the growers of this valley
in buying new power spray machines

heavily of such implements this season,
and more than $5, 600 has already been
spent by growers in the purchase OF
power sprayers. The sum will be more
than doubled before spraying ::season
begins.
I'VE have already received IL signed
orders from apple growers for
spray machines" says G. F. Gilbert.
"Early purchases are perhaps due
largely to the fact that our concerns
have impressed on us the necessity OF
taking orders at once. Materials from
which spray machines are made have
become very scarce, and our factories
have refused to accept our orders On.

BLOWERS ADOPTS
ECONOMY POLICY

"Not while I am county judge. +" says
L. N. Blowers, twill ] allow road su-
pervisors or any one else connected
with the county to make any purchases
for county purposes from my store. !"
Judge Blowers attitude has caused
numerous commendatory expressions
from local citizens.
Judge Blowers and the members Of
the county court have decided to effect
saving to the county by punching the
purchases of supplies for different road
districts instead of buying tools and
materials in small lots at intervals, as
has been the custom in the past.
The county court has adopted the
rule this year of q rigid investigation
of widows seeking pensions. Judge
Blowers declares that he thinks this
law has been abused in the past. and
that In instances parties have received
pensions when they were not entitled
to them. Several cases in which it is
believed that widows have received
pensions on children after they have
passed the age of-l6 years. are nov
under Investigation. Where fraud is
practiced in the application for and
receipt Of widows penisons. the law
sets penalty of six months in Jail.
