Judge Walter M. French, of the Kit.
sap County Superior Court, has an
nounced his candidacy for the two-year
term on the Supreme Bench. There is,
perhaps, no jurist now serving the
State better known than is Judge
French; as he has frequently held
court in practically every county In
the commonwealth, coming to know
and to be known by the laity as we'll
as members of the bar. AS the judi
ciary has been removed from partisan
politics, Judge French will thus have
the support of his great mass OF
friends of all political faiths.
The voters of Kitsap County elected
Judge French to the Superior Bench in
1912 and again in 1916, the latter time
unanimously. The Judge has been a
resident of Port Orchard, the county
seat of Kitsap County, for more than
twelve years. Perhaps nowhere out
side of his own country is Judge
French so well known and universally
esteemed as in King County, where he
is as familiar a figure on the Superior
Bench as is one of the regular jurists.
Judge French has the reputation
through the State as one of the hard
est-working members OF the judiciary.
When his own docket has been COM
pleted and he is not holding court In
some other county, his services are in
demand in King, where the amount OF
litigation is rapidly mounting, and a
1uently he proffers his assistance when
the trial dockets grow unusually heavy.
Judge French was born in Hillsdale,
Michigan, January 80, 1874, coming to
Washington in 1899 and locating in
Seattle. He entered the newly organ
lied law department of the University
of Washington and bears the distinc-
ton of being the first law graduate OF
that institute to pass the bar examina.
ton, and the first graduate to hold a
judicial position. During the Spanish
American war he served in the army,
was mustered out first lieutenant,
and since then has been an active
member Of the Spanish-American War
Veterans.
All the time possible that can be
spared from his judicial duties, Judge
French is now devoting to the present
war. He is chairman of the Kitsap
County Council of Defense, and has
taken conspicuous parts in the Red
Cross and Liberty Loan drives.
He has received the strong official
endorsement of Union Labor in con-
nection with his present candidacy for
Justice of the Supreme Court; first,
that of the Bremerton Labor Council,
Kitsap County; then, that of the
Seattle Central Labor Council. He
also has the support of the entire
bench and bar of King County, the
members of which know him SO well
and appreciate him highly as par
ticularly able jurist.

Dear Courier Reporter:
It seems queer for me to be writing
this. I promised / would write let
ter one in while for the paper. l am
down in dug-out now, with nothing
to do whatever, so here goes.
First, want to say that am very
glad am where 1 am. Conditions
here aren't quite as pleasant as they
were back home at Kennewick. Here
YOU can't go into Pinck's or anywhere
and order some ice cream or whatever
YOU choose. If you get your bully
beef and bareback, you are lucky. II
you get some bread, jam or cup OF
coffee in addition, you are exceedingly
lucky. A nice warm spot to sleep In
one can usually find, with dry earth
to lay his blankets and rain coat on.
Sometimes one can't find it. If it
rains YOU are in mud knee deep or
waist deep as the case might be. IL
usually rains all the time from October
till April, they say. We have only
had about two rainy days week here.
But above and apart from these lit
tie minor implements in an otherwise
pleasurable (?) existence, you can get
along all right. You can always feel
land you have to feel it, to stand I'M
der,' as "Tommie" says) that you are
in a great fight for great cause. 1

what I do, for all there is at home Tor

have to duck low when withholding

to 90 out for twenty-mile stroll along |

is completed you could describe ac-

Starting With Bees.

The best place to buy bees is near
home. There are hundreds of colonies
in almost every county which are I'M
productive and which might better
change hands, bee specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture believe. If the prospective bee
keeper does not know where these are,
a small advertisement in local paper
will often locate them. If colonies can
not be found near by they can be
bought of dealers in bees who adver-
tise in the bee journals.
The best hive for all parts of the
country is the 10-frame Langstroth,
which is the Americas standard. II
possible buy bees already established
in these hives but If only other hives
are available the bees can later be
transferred to the desired hive.
An advantage in buying bees locally
is that the bees are usually delivered
by their former owner. If it is nee
essary for the beginner to go for the
bees the hive should be securely CLOSED
with wire cloth just before dark wher
the bees are all in the hive, plenty Of
ventilation being provided. Usual,
the hive cover is removed and the toI
of the hive covered with wire cloth

HoNEY's CHANCE TO HELP
INCREASE SUGAR SUPPLY.

The average annual honey
crop of the United States is
about 250.0OO,00 pounds and is
sufficient to supply each man,
woman and child with about 21a
pounds q year. which is equiva-
lent to 3 per cent of the amount
of sugar they consume ins nor
NAL time. Thus there is ample
room for expansion of both the
production and consumption.
The present use of honey in the
home usually is as a substitute
for jellies, jams and strip. 1t Is
little used in domestic cooking
or baking, but this use should be
increased. While honey within
recent years. has sold at prices.
sufficiently low to justify its
use as a substitute for sugar, it
is rarely used in, commercial
food manufacturing except I'M
the making of certain cakes
which must be kept, moist for. a.
considerable time. Usually,
however, the supply of honey Is
so inadequate that most of the
crop can be used as a spread for
bread. With the use limited as
it is, many people. in the United;
States rarely eat honey, but 1T is
evident that there might be de-
| veloped a ready sale for honey.

plies to almost all parts of the United

tect the bees in the hives-one which
will put more dollars in the farmers
