"Constant Reader know that these

for. our benefit and with the expecta-
tion of profit from the investment, and
ON account Of such foolish expendi-

teen dollars being netted from
the sale of baskets. The pro
gram opened with "Old Black
joe by the Orchestra, " which
consisted of an organ and two
mandolins. This was followed by
a humorous discussion on vari-
ons topics by group of mig
gers. The class in Bible history
gave some astounding answers
in regard to the number of apples
eaten by Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden. The final num-
Der agreed upon was something
over 36, 600. Several instrumental
numbers had to be omitted,
owing to the fact that one of the
mandolinists had Il lame hand,
which he received at the ball
game between Burton high and
Kent. The survivors, however,
favored the audience with two
numbers. The play given by the
girls deserves especial praise be-
cause of the clever way in which
the parts were carried out, Kath-
crime Myers acted the part so
we'll in the fainting scene that
the audience thought she had
actually tainted. In addition to
those mentioned, there were sew.

Horticultural Society

The regular meeting of the
horticultural society, Monday
evening, was well attended.
F.. N. Rhodes, county horti-
culturist, Deputy Inspector Ealsle
and w. p. McCaffray of the Ma.
tional Canning CO., Seattle, were
present and made few remarks
along the lines they are most in
terested in.
OrH-account of difficulty in Sc
curing lecturers from the state
college and the lateness of the
season, it was decided that the
holding of a Farmers Institute
this season would be impractic-
able.
The subject of summer spray.
ing was discussed by Messrs.
Erickson, Harmeling and Rhodes,
the latter advising the use of
lime and sulphur, and all con
ceded il would do the work, but
that many make the mistake of
putting it on too thick.
The strawberry maggot also
received some attention, as well
as the depredations ~ of the
much abused mole, which is
finally coming into its heritage
as the farmers and gardeners
best friend.
The use of squares of tar paper
around the stem Of cabbage
plants was recommended for
small plats, but it is too expen
sive to use on a large tract.
Mr.. Rhodes warned those pre-
sent against an alleged spray be-
ing sold as Fruit Tree Serum.
He stated that it is positively
harmful.

US. LICENSE SYSTEM STARTS
Giving the Government Grip It Never
Had-Hoardine and Speculation
Hlt-Future Delivery Forbidden.

Washington.-The opening of new
era in food supplies and food prices,
according to officials of the United
States Food Administration, is made.
With the beginning of the new licens.
ing system the Government will have
a grip on prices that it never has had
before, and that will enable it to regu.
late costs to consumers of all the
necessities Of life. This regulation ii
hopes to accomplish through the three
chief purposes Of the licensing system,
which are:
l. To limit the prices charged by
every licensee to reasonable amount
over expenses, and forbid the acquisi'
ton of speculative profits from q
rising market.
2. To keep all food commodities
moving in as direct line and with as
little delay as possible to the con-
sumner.
3. To limit, as far as practicable,
contracts for future delivery and deal.

zAPATA KEPT HIS PROMISE
Paid Back $4,000 Pesos He Forced
Bankers to Give Him to Feed
Hungry Men.

One morning Emilio Zapata issued
two prociamations. One was pro-
hibition edict closing the saloons; the
other a command for the bankers of
the city to assemble for a conference.
The bankers attended the meeting.
They went in fear. dreadlng cOnfisca-
ton of their deposits. Only a few
days before the armies of General Car
rama had collected forced loan" of
ten million pesos from the banks.
What mercy could be expected of the
bandit leader?
Zapata's speech was short and to
the point. "Caballeros," he said, my
men are hungry. I want 100000 pesos
to feed them for few day. You will
pay this. l promise you protection.
You may carry on your business with.
out moleStation as long as you do not
aid the enemy. You may go when you
sign the order for the money" Thank.
full to escape with such a modest de.
mand. the bankers did as they were
ordered. Zapata kept his part of the
bargain, and for months, the city was
better policed than it has ever been
since Porfirio Diaz was driven from
Mexico. But this is the strange part
of the story-strange to one who
knows the system of confiscation
which has bled the business men of
the country. Ten days later Zapata
paid back the $4,000 pesos.
