AGENT CLAIMS BIG
APPLES ARE ONLY HOPE

Northwestern apple growers must
thin their apples and irrigate them
the coming year, in order to produce
larger sizes, was the message brought
here Tuesday by Kenneth Mckay,
who has spent the past winter in the
middle west and south, developing
new markets for the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange, central sales agency
at Seattle.
"The east as we'll as our northwest
ern orchards are due for an enormous
crop next summer" says Mr.. Mckay.
"While dealers everywhere have
grumbled much over our small sizes
the past season. we have been able to
sell them, because the east had no
apples. But next year, unless we
can produce large sizes, we might as
well be prepared to sell our apples
to cider or process concerns" Mr..
Mckay says that the loss of exports
has been beneficial in that it has Sc
cured wider distribution of fruit
in the United States. He says numer-
Gus communities, where boxed apples
have never been in demand before,
have consumed carlots this year.
Mr.. Mckay says that northwest
growers have lost upwards of $780,
0C0 the past winter because of fruit

LYNDEN KNITTERS

Lynden, Wash, little town of
about 1900 inhabitants, is certainly
on the map when it comes to turning
out Red Cross work. A recent copy
Of the Lynden Tribune gives the fol-
lowing proof that Lynden is tending
to its knitting:
"Lynden men and women have
done some effective knitting the last
two months. During January and
February the Lynden Red Cross has
shipped to the headquarters at Bel
lingham the following knitted goods:
Two hundred and fifty-two pairs of
socks, SO sweaters, I mufflers, 1 pair

indirectly become much larger be-
cause of the Generalization of mar
kets on which the frozen stuff has
been dumped.
Northwest growers must demand

Mckay. "Those now in use have
proven wholly inadequate for winter
use. 1t seems to me that some kind
OF insulation can be easily installed
that will protect the fruit. have
found that the apples always froze
around the sides and on the bottom.

But this may automatically put an

Nothing can be good for every

Doans Kidney Pills are for one

For weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is Ashland evidence to prove
their worth:
Mrs.. ]. Galbraith. 1876 Sherman
street, says: Five years ago my kid
neys were in bad way. My back
felt weak and lame and I was tired
and languid all the time. Finally I
began taking Doan's Kidney Pills and
they helped me wonderfully. They
regulated my kidneys and since then
have always used them when / have
felt my kidneys needed attention.

himself, looked into the vampires
wonderful eyes and said something
which caused Theda to smile and do
little vampiring while the camera
wasn't looking. She says she would
like to act good parts, but that the
public pays best for the wicked ones.
When she was new in the vampire
business she overheard little girl
whom she passed on the street say:
"Oh, mamma! There's that horrid
vampire woman" Miss Bara says
when she reached her room she threw
herself down and burst into tears, at
the thought that even children shrank
from her. She and her mother and
sister live rather secluded lives, max
ing art their hobby.
But the big blue limousine is wait
ing with the other members of the
Bara party, and there is only time
left to note Theda's plain gray dress,
white shoes, dark hat and light veil,
the locket which the soldiers gave
her, some gorgeous finger rings and
a remarkable gold serpent bracelet.

RUSSIAN COLLAPSE NO GREAT
MENACE TO ALLIES.

Those over-fearful Americans who
imagine the Russian collapse will
work to the detriment of the allies
would do well to take a second
thought and look at the situation
more closely. Russia's plight is
greatly to be deplored from stand
point of freedom and democracy. 1t
is, however, only what has been eX-
pected for some time. Ever since the
overthrow Of the Kerensky govern
ment the allies have anticipated just
such an outcome and have made am
pie provision against it.
II is a mistake to think Germany
will be able to greatly reinforce her
armies on the western front with
troops taken from Russia. Germany
has overrun large scope of terri
tory belonging to Russia, and this
territory she now demands as includ-
ed in the peace terms so abjectly ac-
cepted by the Bolshevik government.
But demanding territory and hold
ing territory are two very different
propositions. This territory is peo-
pied by many races and by peoples of
many shades of political belief. At
no time has the Bolshevik govern
ment been in anything like entire
control. There have always been dis
turbing elements, and the mere occu-
patton of the territory by Germany
will not tend to harmonic these op-
posing elements. Germany will be
forced, If she holds the conquered
territory, to keep large standing arm
ies there. In fact, it is extremely
doubtful If she can reduce her armies
on the eastern front to any extent,
and only future events will disclose
whether or not she will actually be
compelled to augment them.
1t is, unfortunately, true that Ger
many's occupation of Russian prov
inces has opened to her new source
OF supplies. This, however, is not
in itself a matter for great alarm.
Germany has all along had about all
the supplies she could handle. The
pathetic tales of German hunger and
misery are a part of the shrewd Ger
man game to enlist the sympathy of
Americans and cause letting up of
the strenuous program that we have
set for ourselves. The additional
supplies will not go far toward a
victory for the Teuton arms.
Taken all in all, whatever advan-
tage Germany may derive from the
conquered Russian provinces is being
largely offset by the men and sup
plies this country is steadily putting
or the western front. Nothing would
please Germany more than for Amer
leans to go into funk over the Rus
sian collapse and imagine that it has
given her great advantage Germany
has carefully cultivated the delusion
Of her inyincibility. 1t is her great
est card and she plays it at every
opportunity. But the allies have
pretty well taken her masure and
are making thorough preparation to
meet her fairly and conquer her.
The significance of the great Rus
sian collapse is the pity of a great
nation gone wrong. when such brigh.
possibilities were before It.

at the plow that can possibly be mus
tered, the temptation is great to
slack up school attendance. This
! temptation should be resisted. No
child of school age should be permit
ted to absent himself or herself from
the schoolroom. The urge of educa-
tion was never greater than at pres
ent. The absolute inability of the
uneducated to meet present day con-
ditions was never more apparent.
And not only is this true, but the ed
ucation must be more thorough now
than was ever before demanded.
The probable duration of the war
is a matter of much uncertainty. A
slackening of the educational drive
would be most unfair to the young
people and would place them at
terrible disadvantage; would impose
upon them a handicap from which
many of them would never recover.
If we would have an object lesson
of the effects of abandoning the edu-
cation Of the young during the war
times, we have only to look to the
southern states of this republic. Dur
ing the unfortunate war between the
states, when the people of the south
were fighting for their very life, edu-
cation was permitted to languish.
The present free school system was
then unknown, all schools being of
the Subscription" class. These were
largely abandoned, and the young
people permitted to grow up prac-
tically without education. The re-
suit is still to be seen in many sec
tions of the south. Men who were
in their teens" when the war broke
out, just at the age when they should
have been applying themselves dill
gently to securing an education, were
drafted for work on the farms, and
from there graduated to the ranks,
with the result that they have gone
through life without the education
that by rights should have been
theirs. There are thousands of these
men throughout the south today
men of great natural talents who,
had they gotten the training they
should have had, would now be occu-
pying high position. But their illit-
eracy has been fatal to any real prog
ress. They are honest, painstaking
workers in whatever field they may
occupy, but their handicap places
them in the ranks of the mediocre,
and struggle as they may they can
never go higher.
AS illustrative of the point we wish
to impress, let us state that of the
entire country the south is today
more than any other section preemi-
nently a young mans country. 1t is
so from the fact that such a large
per cent of the older people are so
deficient in education.
The boy or gill can find time to do
all the work in other lines that
should be imposed upon them and
still keep up their studies. A few
hours each day given to real work
will only nerve them the better for
their studies And a few hours of
work each day is all that should be
required of them under any circum-
stances.
Keep the children in school. They
are our future citizens, and we can't
afford to lower the standard.
