Changed in Transit

One of the methods of communicat-
ing from one officer to another in the
trenches is to give the message to one
of the privates and tell him to "pass
the word along" the line until it comes
to its destination, the officer at the
other end. The following story will
show how serious message can be
distorted on its journey from mouth
to mouth,
Lieutenant A., in charge of one end
of the. British line, told the private in
front to pass, the word along to Lieu
tenant B.: eve are going to advance.
Can you send us reinforcements? 20
When Lieutenant B.. received the
message it was like this: eve are GO
ing to dance. Can you send us
three and four-pence?"

gagged in, the blacksmithing business
here for several years. He has moved
his shop from Front stree to the new
location and will continue to do gen.

There are Others

In one of the big base hospitals of
the Army not long ago a new librar-
ian was set to work by the American
Library Association. She was very
charming young woman, and very anx-
ious to please all of her customers .
tho some of them didn't even wish to
look at a book. In her rounds she ap-
preached one of the patients and he
declined to be interested in her wares.
At the next cot she stopped and offer
ed its occupant book.
whats this about?n the patient
asked.
ooh, this is sBambi'," said the librar-
ian. "It's about girl who married a
man without his having anything to
say about it."
Hold on there" shouted the man
who had declined all books. He raised
himself up on his elbow and reached
out his hand. "Give me that book.
It's my autobiography"

NO CHANGE In
THE APPLE GRADES
Commissioner Dean Says Three
Grades will be Allowed as in
Former Years

M. L. Dean, state. commissioner OF
horticulture, has announced that ap-
nile grades for 1919 will be the same
as thew were in 1913 and 1917, with
the exception that 5 per cent toier-
ance will be allowed. Commissions
Dean has decided not to call the US
ual grade and pack conference, at
which fruitmen recommend any
changes in the grade and pack regu-
lations which they wish made. The
meeting was originally scheduled for
Spokane in December, but was post
poned on account of the influenza cpl
demic. Mr.. Dean holds that the con-
ference to be legal and binding must
be held in December as provided by
statute.
For the coming season Kennewick
fruit will be shipped, as has been in
the past, in three grades, except by
those shippers who have abandoned
the C grade. The biggest shipping con-
Germ to adopt the two-grade pack. is
the Kennewick Fruitgrowcrs associa-
ton, which ships under the Big "Y'
label. The blue "Y" conforms to the
regulation extra fancy pack and the
red sfYn is a combination of the fancy
and the G grsdes.
In making his announcement Com
missioner Dean says:
"Grade and pack rules for 1919 will
be the same as they have been for the
past two years, with the slight modi-
fication that there will be a 5 per cent
tolerance" says Mr.. Dean. The var
iation from. tho standard allowed will
meet the objection that the rules in
force till now were too rigid.
ut was impossible to hold the an
snual grade and pack meeting on ac-
count of the influenza epidemic. The
statute specifies that such meeting
must be held in December, so will not
attempt to call the fruitmen together.
The decision to stand by the former
rules, with the tolerance allowed is the
result of the 1000 answers received to
the questionnaires sent out by the hor-
ticultural department. The great ma
jority of the growers said the rules
which had proved satisfactory for the
past two years are good enough for
the coming year. / see no reason for
calling the growerstogether to discuss
the questions of grading or packing
till they are prepared to act unani-
mously.
at behooves the growers to make
serious effort to obtain control of the
orchard pests. Powdery mildew, scale,
and the codling moth did $5,OO0,O00
damage during the past year in this
state. The orchard business cannot
sustain such a loss. Every grower
should use every means possible to
do more and better spraying next
spring. There is every indication that
there will be good crop in 1919 and
that good fruit will find ready mar
kets at excellent prices.n
