BATTERY sE" SOLDIER
DIES OF PNEUMONIA
Parents Receive News of Sons Death
Two Days After Receiving
His Victory" Letter

But two days after receiving their
sons "Victory" letter, in which he re-
joiced that he had come thru un-
scathed, tho he had taken an active
part in its biggest battles, Mr.. and
Mrs. F. F. Busey received the official
notice of his death, says the Yakima
Republic.
Harrison L. Busey, the dead soldier,
succumbed to pneumonia in France, on
December Is. The war departments
telegram was delivered to the parents
this afternoon, two weeks after the
death occurred. Young Busey, who
would have been 80 in January, en-
listed in Battery E of the 146th field
artillery, which is largely recruited
from Yakima valley and Inland En-
pire youths. He served with the am
munition train thruout the war and
had sent home accounts of some of his
narrow escapes. Arrival of the news
of his death so soon after the rejoicing
caused by the Victory" letter, written
on November "a, has almost prostrat-
ed the Busey family.

"When will the relief expedition fit

great need of haste as conditions here

rency has greatly deprecated in value
and the expedition should bring gold

need far outstrips the Red Cross grant

Conditions are extremely grave and
there is urgent need for relief among
the starving deported Armenians now
in Asia Minor who are collecting at
the towns and railway stations, hoping
to return to their homes. They say
! there were 100000 deported, of whom
probably 100000 survived.
Resources are inadequate and the
prices are tremendously inflated. The
present relief is only adequate for one
tenth of the sufferers and not more
than one-quarter of the existing Ar
menian population can survive until
the next harvest. A delay Of one
month now means 10000 deaths which
will increase with the approaching
winter. There is need for clothing for

tically unclad. There is also need for
food supplies, including flour, peas,
beans, rice, condensed milk and fats"

TO INSPECT FRUIT =.
AT SHIPPING POINT
Senator Jones Introduces Bill
Providing for Additional
Federal Inspection

To further protect the producer OF
fruits and vegetables and likewise the
purchaser, Senator Wesley L. Jones
has introduced bill providing for
federal inspection at the point of ship
ment. In a letter to L. F. Salisbury,
manager of the Fruit Growers agency
of Yakima, Senator Jones explains the
purposes of the bill as follows:
"When the agricultural appro-
nriation bill for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1917, was pending, / en-
deavored to secure the insertion OF a
provision in it providing for an in
spection by the government and certl-
fication as to the condition of fruits,
vegetables and farm products at the
time of their receipt in the markets
of the country. This amendment was
nut on in the senate but the house con-
freres would not agree to it and be-
cause of desire to secure vote on
the armed-ship neutrality bill before
adjournment on March 4th, withheld
opposition to the adoption OF the re-
port of the confreres. s.
"When the emergency act of Aug
| 10, 1917, was before the senate put
up an amendment providing for TIN:
inspection and it was adopted ane
became a part of the act. 1t may bt
found at page 274 of the statutes O.
the first session of the 56th congress
And afterwards this provision wa
carried in the general agricultural ap
preparation act for the fiscal year end
| ing June 80, 1919, after being broad
ened in its scope, and $4,000 wa

annropriated for carrying on this work
which has been found to be OF great
benefit to the producers of farm pro-
ducts. .r
"You have suggested to me that an
;nsnection should be made at the
source of shipment and a certificate
given as to the quality and condition
of the products when shipped, such
certificate to be prima facie evidence
to the producers as well as to the con-
sumers of farm products and accord
ingly have prepared a bill to provide
for such an inspection and take pleas
ure in handing you copy OF the
same.
"With inspection at the place OF
shipment and inspection at point OF re-
ceipt the producers will have ample
protection from fraudulent and un'
warranted claims by commission
firms and consignees and others who
may desire to avoid their obligations
by claiming that what had been ship
ped to them was not up to qaulity Of
in proper condition.
"I hope that you and those inter
ested in this matter will examine this
bill and If it occurs to you that il
should be changed in any particular
hope you will feel free to suggest suci
change. / trust, also that all thos'
who are interested in legislation o
this kind will do what they can towar'
securing support for the measure"

HOTEL MEN TO BOOST
FOR GOOD ROADWAYS

There - to be n discussion Of the
good roads problem by numerous
hotel men next Tuesday. the day
following the opening of the New
York Hotel Mems EXPOSITION and
convention. which will occupy the
week of November 10. in Grand
Central Palace. New York City.
This is the fourth annual exposi-
tion. which draws upwards of 10000
hotel and restaurant men from all
parts of the country to the metrop-
ellis, and is considered an important
get-together by the hotel interests.
The subject OF good roads is one
that is vitally important to the
hotel industry. and to a material
extent the hotels have received the
cooperation OF various automobile
organizations. The work of the
Bureau of Tours of the Automobile
Club of America has been especial
ly beneficial to the keepers of
inns. taverns and huge hostelries
throughout the country. During
the, next few years millions of dol
lars will be spent ir various COM
munities for the Improvement and
upkeep of roads. and considering
the amount of trade which hotel
men derive from automobile tran
sients. IL is quite natural that they
should be interested in what is be-
ing done in the field of good road
building.
There are several phases of the
problem to ne discussed. and GER
tain points to he argued, but one
thing is certain-the hotel men will
boost for good roads and boost Wig

Before the war the belief existed
in foreign countries that American
cars. having fewer coats Of paint.
would not stand the trying climates
Of the comparatively new countries.
Now the foreign agents are again
