146TH ARTILLERY
Is CRACK REGIMENT
Battery ..E'' Helped Chase the
Huns Back, Says Sgt.
Lake, Of Zillah

4 { + d :
That the Hun forces are still strong
and full Of "pep" and that the war will
last two years longer is the opinion
of Sgt. II. r. Lake, of Battery E,
146th Field Artillery, who is now at
his home at Zillah.
Sgt. Lake participated in the fight
ing around Chateau Thierry for near
ly month and was then assigned to
Camp jackson where he will teach ar
tillery recruits the fine points of
handling the new field pieces. He is
the first veteran of the fighting front
to return to the Yakima Valley. Fred
Berg, Of this city, was Sgt. Lakes
"bunkie mate" until Berg was detach-
ed from the battery and made instruc-
tor in an electrical school.
The following account Of the activi-
ties Of Battery E in France, as given
to the Yakima Republic by Sgt. Lake,
will be interesting reading to the rel
atives and friends of the many Ben
ton county boys in that organization:
Germans I've seen aren't starving.
I've seen lots of them as prisoners.
They aren't boys either.
"They are fine-looking soldiers, on
the average, tho some of them may
have been hungry and have been with
out food for SO or 48 hours when tax
EN-. So have I, when we were on the
move. We are not allowed to talk
to the prisoners, tho some of the boys
do, and the prisoners won't say much.
But they are by no means as worn out
as some of the dispatches would indi-
cate, and they're putting up a good
fight. They were full of pep on my
sector and understand that it wasn't
very different at other places on the
Soissons line" When Sgt. Lake says
Soissons, he casually gives it the
French twang so that, to Americans,
it is hardly recognizable.
Yakima has reason to be proud of
its companies at the front. They are
making record. The 146th Field Ar
tillery, of which Battery E is COM
posed almost entirely of Yakima and
Benton county boys, is known all over
France as the crack heavy artillery
regiment Of the United States army.
! can brag about it now, for I don't
belong to it any longer. only wish
I did. But it has been mentioned in
every French newspaper and it has
made name for itself all over Eu-
rope.
"Oh, it's been great. The morale
of the Americans couldn't be better.
No mother need be afraid that her kid
isn't cared for either. He is-look at
me. Do look starved ?" Sgt. Lake
doesn't; he's a fine specimen of young
American manhood, but he tackles
sweets as tho he hadn't seen any for
years. Haven't" he explains. sI
don't know where the sugar goes to.

APPLE OUTLOOK Is
BRIGHTEST in YEARS
Advance Sales are Already Being
Placed at Almost Unheard
of Prices

Not for years have market fore
casts looked so rosy to the apple
growers of this valley. Not only are
the cash buyers offering to contract
at prices that will bring the growers
handsome returns, but the early sales
of the cooperative marketing COM
panies indicate that their members for
the first time in years should be able
to realize a fine profit from their or
chards. The following advance sales
which have been made thru the North
western Fruit Exchange are reported
by the Spokane Fruit Growers COM
pany, and are a good indication of
what the market will be at the OPEN
ing of the season. These orders have
been confirmed and shipments will go
forward as quickly as packing begins.
Extra fancy cars Wageners, at
$1.75; 35 cars Jonathans, $1.75 to So;
car Delicious, $2.75; car King Da-
vids, $500.
Fancy-8 cars Wageners, $1.25; 12
cars Jonathans, $1.65 to SITS; 2 cars
Delicious, $2.15 to $2.25; 2 cars King
David, $1.75.
= C Grade-22 cars Wageners, 81 10;
cars Jonathans, $1.25 to $1.50; Is
cars assorted, $1.15 to $1.25.
I ''The market is showing a continual
upward tendency" says Manager P. R.
Parks, sand it is the firm belief of
all who have knowledge of marketing
conditions that Winesaps, Rome Beau
ties and later winter varieties will
bring decidedly satisfactory figure" !"
That the outlook for big apple prices
is most promising is also the opinion
of H. w. Desgranges, local manager
for the Yakima Fruit Growers asso-
citation, who has just returned from a
visit at Yakima.
Eastern buyers are begging for
apples and offering prices unheard of
in recent years, ~ said he. Govern
ment action placing apples on the ra-
ton list for soldiers is expected. 1t
is a year when the grower who plays
the game right is going to make some
money. Those who are in too big a
hurry to contract will be the losers.
Our Representatives in all the big mar
kets are keeping us fully informed
and we are prepared to take full ad--
vantage of the situation. Big prices
are being offered and where confirma-
tion can not be had orders are. placed
at market price at time of shipment.
A large order was placed yesterday,
the telegram concluding Il must have
Big Y apples and will look to you to
treat me fairly The Association
never before was in such favor with
the growers. Old-timers are coming
back and it begins to look as if our
limit for tonnage was about reached.
1t looks as If the fruit grower is COM
ing into his own again."

SOLDIERS adopted" BY PIG
Attaching Itself to Company of
Kentucky Volunteers.

There Is in the history of the state
of Kentucky an odd incident in con-
nection with the invasion Of Canada
by the Kentucky troops in 1872. A
company Of volunteers, destined for
Selby's army, assembled at Harrods-
burg and formed a nucleus around
which the military recruits of the
country gathered on the march to the
Ohio.
On the outskirts of the town named,
so the story runs, the company saw
two pigs fighting and delayed the
march to watch the combat. When the
march recommended it was observed
that the victorious pig was follow
ing the company; and when the men
encamped at night, the animal lay
down near at hand. OF course the SOL
diers fed their plump recruit. The next
day the pig followed them, and this 1t
did daily on the march to the river.

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.
Chicago.-The largest single order
for bacon and canned meats in the
history Of the world-99, 500, 900
pounds of bacon and 134,OOOO00 pounds
Of canned meat-has just been placed
by the Quartermaster's Department,
u. S. A., for the American Army over
seas.
Louis f. Swift, in commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1900
600 hogs, and If other work were
dropped to produce it, would be equiv
alent to the total bacon production of
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly five weeks. However, six months
will elapse before delivery is to be COM
pleted. Mr.. Swift said:
"At the current prices on the day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $S0,000,000 for
the necessary hogs and over $4,000, 900
for about 100000 cattle required. The
cattle will cost us twice as much, and
the hogs two and one-half times as
much as in the pre-war period.
The whole order will be made up be-
fore the first of the year, despite the
fact that, even before this purchase,
one-fourth of the packers facilities
have been devoted to filling military
demands. In order to get out the
canned goods the packers will find it
necessary to employ night and day
shifts of Gamers. Notwithstanding
the fact that the products are being
rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a
single complaint has been received on
meats delivered to the armies abroad
The five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly to keep
abreast of martial and domestic needs =

Your vital forces reach their

You can't guard your stomach

One day a rent collector knocked
three times at certain house, without
even once getting reply. Becoming
enraged, he went back fourth time,
and in response to his knock an urchin
opened the door. "Where were you all

First Fire Alarm in United States.

The first practical trial of fire
alarm telegraph system was made in
1851 in New York, but the plan was
much modified in succeeding years,
and as thus changed was fully adopted
in some of the cities of the Eastern
states before put in regular use in New
York in 1871. In 1892 alone "a patents
relating TO fire alarms were issued in
the United States. Among the patents
hitherto issued have been combined
electric fire alarms and extinguishers
combined fire and burglar alarms, a
combined fire alarm and time detector,
combined fire and police alarms, a
