SEEK STATE AID.

EVERETT: The county commission
ers have decided to seek state aid to
make passable the Pilchuck detour
the use OF which is made necessary
because Of a state paving project on
the Pacific Highway between Silvania
and Stanwood. The commissioners
say they have not the funds for the
work and furthermore that the detoul
has reached the condition it has be
cause of delays in completing the state
contract.

time it is believed by the men in con-
troll Of the large industries that there
will be no general resumption until
the public is certain that prices are
completely stabilized and that a pre-
war basis has been restored.
Wage cuts are beginning to be put
in effect in the larger industries to
compensate for the reduced cost of
living and the lower rates for goods
produced. Cuts as high as % per cent
affecting 100000 workers in the tex.

to strike at the roots. Two year old
plants propagated in a nursery should
be used in preference to younger or
older plants. They should be trans
planted in the dormant season, and
placed eight feet apart in rows ten
feet apart. II desired, another crop,
such as potatoes or beans, may be
grown between the rows during the
first season after planting. None OF
the varieties Of grapes mentioned is
self-sterile, but all of them yield more
abundantly if planted in considerable
quantity en-bloc, which arrangement
is conducive to Interpolation. No
fertilizer should be used at the time
of planting other than a pound or two
of bone meal or ground rock phos-
phate, which should be mixed with
the earth around the roots, but each
vine should be given a dressing OF
barnyard manure during the second
growing season and annually there
after at the rate of about five tons
per acre. This should be spread on
the surface between the rows in the
fall and the land should be plowed to
a depth OF five or six inches as early
as practicable in the spring. Thereafter
it should be cultivated with a disk, re-
volving harrow or grape hoe at fire.

saved by removing shoots that sprint

Pleasure Afforded
Surely no one can object to the
American citizen having some
recreation, and it is conceded that
the automobile furnishes a better
opportunity for genuine pleasure
than any other vehicle or means.
There are over 100, 900 doctors who
own automobiles Travelling sales
men, telephone companies, oil COM
panies and other essential indus
s tries find the automobile indispens-
able in conducting their business.
Some Still seon.
But with all the figures in the
world there are persons who will
tell you that the automobile is a
nOn-essential, a luxury, a. fool thing
that is unnecessary to the country's S
growth. These people would have
said the same thing about the rail-
road the steamship, or any other
invention that has played an i'm
portsnt part in the worlds progress.
If all the automobiles in the cOun-
naaGa1 fnr fAn
days, what would be the outcome?
Could the demands for efficient
means of transportation be taken
care of without the automobiles?
The position of importance the
automobile has attained in this coun-
try during the past ten years is the
result of the development of an in
dustry that is unparalleled. Not
only is it a factor in the necessary
transportation facilities of the coun-
try; il is a contributor to one of
the largest of our Industries and a
promoter Of the happiness and the
welfare of our people.
Economic authorities differ some
what upon the relative rank of the
automobile industry. Some say
that it ranks the second and others
claim II stands in third place. II
