"Some flowers thrive best under
the benign rays of the summer sun,
while others-fuchsias, for instance
require the deepest shade to
bring them to their fullest perfec-
tion.'
Gin one of the front pews sat a
little old lady of distinctly rural as
pect who followed the sermon with
the most gratifyingly close and
eager attention. At the close of
the service she hurried forward
with outstretched hands to speak
to me. . - -@
ooh, sir!" she cried, how can 1
ever thank you for the inestimable
benefit your inspired words have
impaired to mel Ill., -

propriate when she continued:

that I failed because / didn't plant

When the late DIR. John p. Gray,
who had a national reputation for
the care of the insane, was super
intendent of the state lunatic asy-
lum at Utica, N. Y, some repairs
were being made to one of the
buildings. A number of the pat
tents who were allowed to do light
work around the grounds were en-
gagged in carrying some of the brick
and mortar from wall which was
being torn down. A wheelbarrow
was given to one of them and af-
ter it was loaded with brick, etc.,
he was started off. On his return;
however, the wheelbarrow was be-
ing trundled upside down. In this
position he circled the grounds
several times until finally he met
DR.. Gray.
"Here, you'll" said the doctor,
"turn that barrow the other way"
"Not much," replied the patient.
81 had it that way and lot of
those fools over there filled it up
with bricks"

Potato Market Weak:
Syrup Declines; Our
Oranges the Best

The potato market is somewhat
weaker throughout the entire north.
west, and we are now retailing
them at $500 per hundred or 2Kc
per pound in small lots.
Owing to the many declines in
the sugar market in the past few
months, syrup prices had to follow,
and We have recently revised our
entire price lists on all cane, corn
and maple syrups.
Our supply Of fancy navel oran-
ges just arrived in time for the bio
sale. Oranges are at their best
now, and the prices are right, and
as sugar is cheap, this is the time
to make your orange marmalade.
You will find a complete list Of
prices in our grocery space of this
issue.

How many new resolutions have
you made this; the beginning Of
another new year, you egg produc-
ers? This applies to all that pro-
duce eggs from the half dozen pull
lets to the poultry farmer; if you
have not taken on more than you
can justly keep, let's take on an
other, if one or two Of the less
important ones must be neglected,
and then let each one be commit
tee to his or herself and see that
this one sticks, and each resolve
to see that all eggs that are mar
keted will be clean, fresh and in
good condition.
You kick because your merchant
does not pay more for your pro-
duct, when it is you that is to
blame; yoQ make your own market
and receive just price and ten
chances to one your merchant is
loser in the deal. I am not say
ing that all are to blame ma
jority deserve more for their eggs,
and do not get it because there is
that shiftless, thoughtless chap
that is continually marketing eggs
that look as though they had been
rolled around for a week in dirty
pig sty, and your neighbor must
suffer for your urcouthness.
You man or woman-that mar
kets dirty eggs, how would you like
to go into one of our open-view
quick lunch stands and see bas-
ket of your dirty products before
you and the chef preparing some
for you, could you stomach them,
of course you couldn't, and would
MT, but you expect some one else
to eat your filth. This is good
place to bring in the golden rule.
Consider than if this fertilizer is
too strong for your own stomach
surely it is too strong for your
neighbor and it will be a good hu-
man stunt to wash those eggs and
apply the washings to the rose
bushes-it will do more good and
help to place the egg industry
where it belongs and you will soon
be able to get from five to ten cents
more per dozen for your eggs.
A short time ago / was talking
with a lady clerk in one of our
stores and in reference to the egg
business, there were certain GUS
toners that she drew the line on
handling their eggs, and one of
these especially, and o, horror, that
one was woman. Now guilty sis
ter, what do you suppose this lady
thinks about you? Would it not
have been better to wash those dir
ty, repulsive eggs and use at home
the ones that were too badly she'll
stained, than to give this woman a
chance to think strange thoughts,
perhaps you know what those
. thoughts were.

Experiments with
Shipping Boxed
Apples nBox Cars

About 1900 cars of boxed apples
shipped in box cars were injured
by freezing last year, and the fruit
growers sustained a loss of APP
proximately $1,O0O,OOO. Because of
this and the fact that it seems i'm
possible to secure an adequate
amount of refrigerator equipment,
the Bureau of Markets, United
States Department of Agriculture,
is cooperating with the Wenatchee
Valley Traffic Association to as
certain whether an ordinary. box
car can be made to take the place
of a refrigerator car when the
latter are not obtainable. The
tests are being made with four box
cars, each equipped with different
method of ventilation and refrig-
orator car under standard ventila-
ton, to provide a means of COM
parison.
The first box car has ventilator
cut in each end. The second has
the side doors open 8 inches. The
third has one side door open with
6-inch BATTLE, to shoot the air
into the car, and the fourth box car
has no ventilation whatever. Deli
cate equipment records the air cur
rents and temperatures and an ac-
curate chart is kept. In publishing
the preliminary report of the exper-
intent, which is not entirely COM
pleted, the Bureau of Markets says
that the use of ordinary box-car
equipment under any sort of yenti-
lation will not prove satisfactory
for shipping boxed apples. Such
produce can be safely shipped by
box car only when the weather
ranges from temperate to cool. The
ordinary box car provides no pro-
lection whatever against changes
in external temperature. The best
means of ventilation is to open both
doors 8 inches so fastening them as
to prevent robbery.
