RED CROSS CLOSES

d Because the management of Hotel
Kennewick needed the room for other
purposes, the Kennewick Branch of the
Red Cross has moved its equipment
and closed its sewing room. Whether
the shutdown is permanent or only
temporary has not yet been deter
mined. With the exception of a few
garments the Branch had made up all
materials on hands and these few gar
Hents will be finished at the homes of
some of the workers. If chapter head
quarters urges it, the Branch will Sc
cure another room and continue the
work, otherwise it will close down, for
the summer, at least. =

SCOUTS HEAR sAILbR

The Boy Scouts were entertained
last Thursday evening by Chief Yoe-
man Simmons of the English Navy.
He spoke mostly of the various tricks
used to trap the German submarines
and ships. He was wounded in one
of the big naval battles and also
brought out German life belt which
he took from German officer cap
tured by him.. The local troop has
been fortunate in obtaining the SER
vices of Clarence Baker, as assistant
Scoutmaster. Mr.. Baker has had pre-
yious work in scouting and will be a
great help to the local boys.

GET BIG PRICES
FOR WINESAP CROP
Members of Yakima Fruitgrow-
ers Association Get $70.38
Per Ton for All Grades

: IL
With. the closing of its Winesap pool
the Yakima Fruit Growers association
establishes q record never before
reached for apples out of the Yakima
Valley. The final price reached for
Extra Fancy was 81 a box +. o. b.
The average price to the grower for
the entire seasons crop was 1920 for
the Blue Y, or extra fancy, 163 and
larger and $1.75 for the It's or small
er. The Red Y, or combination of
fancy and C-grade was $1.95 for the
1853 and larger, and $1.45 for the It's
and smaller. The average for all
grades and sizes of the entire crop
was $1.9O8 per box. Reduced to the
ton basis the net price received by
the grower is $70.38.
In submitting the figures for pub
location local manager H. W. Des-
oranges said: This remarkable show
ing was only possible because Of our
cold storage facilities and most eff
ficient sales organization. With our
large cold storage plants at Zillah and
Yakima we have a place to keep our
apples when the market is, not salts
factory and with our own sales or
ganization we are in direct touch
with all markets, enabling our sales
department to know just when and
where to sell to get the best results.
These ideas were in the minds Of the
growers when they organized the as
ISOLATION and it seems as if their
dreams and hopes are being realized.
The advanced price received for win
ter apples by reason of having proper
facilities this year alone more than
equals the cost of installation. With
/ the constantly increasing tonnage in
the association our present need is
q cold storage plant at Kennewick and
this need we hope to see supplied be-
fore the end of the present season.
Locally our tonnage has nearly doub-
led and a number Of growers are still
considering coming ito us. These will
be given an opportunity to join us,
after which our books will be closed
for the season and as soon as the
season has advanced far enough and
the danger of frost is past we will
make an estimate of the probable ton
mage and provide means of taking care
of the same. While there has. been
some damage from frost, and individ-
ual orchards have suffered, it will not
materially effect the tonnage of the
district"

pened TO drop the squash. Down IL

"Oh. dear" thought the bunny rab-
bit. Now I have done it! The squash
will be broken and split and spoiIed!'
But the squash just fell in a pile Of
stones. bounced on them on a sharp,
jagged stump. rolled into a bramble
brier bush. rolled out again and then
came to a stop, waiting for Uncle
Wiggily TO pick IL up.
Why. Il isn't hurt al bit!" exclaimed
the bunny. as he reached the squash

"Squash-for-pie." answered the
bunny. But he was feeling so bad.
that his voice trembled. and he sort

the Skuddlemagoon heard were the
words:
''Squash-pie.

bad chap. Well. hand that over
first"
Uncle wiggily thought quickly He
remembered how tough the squash was
almost like the Skuddlema COON.
Then. raising the green vegetable.

at the unpleasant creature.
"Bifr! Bang. Crack" went the
squash on the end OF the Skuddlema-

and was going to bang the bad chap
