"OLD BUFFERS"
IN WFNATCHEf HIGH
BASKET BALL TEAM
But SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS IN
HIGH SCHOOL HAVE MADE
THEM MIGHTY GOOD-AT BAS.
kET BALL.

Our County Seat town seems 10
have a high school course of seven
or eight years, whereas the usual
course is but four years-for they
are playing men p and % years of
age on their basket ball team. A
child enters school at six; at fifteen
he should enter upon the first year Of
high school, and at nineteen be grad
uated Assuming that the Wenatchee
boys began high school when fifteen,
they have now had seven and eight
years of it. The school has one thing
to boast oft has made them good
basket ball players, for the manner
in which they trimmed our high
school team last Friday night admit,
of no other presumption.
The first half resulted in a score of
p for Wenatchee to 0 for Leaven-
worth, and the last half brought Us
only 4 points to 20 for the visitors.
The Wenatchee team is a good one.
and it ought to be after seven wears
practice. The boys seemed SOMEWHAT
out of place, however, in high school
athletics, for age and youth never
seem to mix well.

THE FRUIT GROWERS MOST
PRECIOUS POSSESSION.

Don't let any man tell you that the
people of the east and of the south
are clamoring for the privilege Of
buying Washington boxed apples.
1t isn't so.
To the average man an apple is an
apple-some better than others, but
all apples
The average man who buys boxed
apples has TO be sold.
And he is sold by advertising.
Any nationally advertised produc.
must have merit behind it. but most
important of all, the article must be
marketed under suitable trade marx.
All other things being equal the
trademark sells the goods.
What "Sunkist" is to the orange
grover, "Skookum" is to the apple
grower
1t is the most nationally advertised
and best known brand. as applied to
apples, in the world today.
1t is the most valuable asset the
fruit grower Of the northwest has to-
day. And being valuable it should
be protected.
This is how to protect it Be alb
solutely sure that every box bearing
the "Skookum" mark is all that it is
represented to be-and keep up the
advertising
One of the biggest fruit growers in
the state Of Michigan, at a meeting
of the state horticultural society, got
up and made this statement "Michi-
gan has just as good apples as Wash
ington, but the Michigan farmer is a
poor salesman. There is no reason
why Michigan apples could not sell as
well in Spokane and Seattle as Wash
ington apples in Detroit"
Of course this is not so. Washing
ton grows the finest apples in the
world, and the world will eventually
| recognize the fact
But aside from that, the chief diff
erence between the eastern grover
and the Washington grower is tha:
we have advertised our products and
created a taste for our fruits
Keep on advertising, for therein
lies the ultimate success of the apple
industry.
And best Of all the good ones. is

THE PERILS OF EXCESSIVE
TAXATION.

Crushing taxation, historians tel
Us, has been a powerful factor in tn
decay of civilizations. the ruin of ma
tions. 1t cripples industry. oppresse
the masses, implants deepening re
sentiment against law and govern
ment, and undermines the nationa
spirit. Excessive taxes, to give
single impressive instance. played
large part in the downfall of the an
cient state of Babylonia, the biblica
land of Shinar." a modern travele.
LOTUS, sets in vivid contrast the an
cient prosperity of that former ricl
irrigated region and its present desc
lation:
The wants Of teeming popu-
lation were supplied by rich
soil not less bountiful than that
on the banks of the Egyptian
Nile. Like islands rising from a
golden sea of waving corn stood
frequent groves of palm trees
and pleasant gardens. Crowds of
passengers hurried along the
dusty road to and from the busy
city. The land was rich in corn
and wine. How changed the as
pect Of that region at the present
day! Long lines of mounds, it is
true, mark the courses of those
main arteries which formerly diff
fused life and vegetation along
their banks; but their channels
are now bereft of moisture and
checked with drifted sand; the
smaller offshoots are wholly ef-
faced. All that remains of that
ancient civilization-that "glory
of kingdoms, the praise of the
while earth'-is recognizable in
the numerous mouldering heaps
of brick rubbish which over
spread the surface of the plain.
Instead of the luxuriant fields.
the groves and gardens nothing
now meets the eye but an arid
waste-the dense population of
former times has vanished. and
no man dwells there.
The producing peasantry were
crushed by taxation.
Is it eXaggeration to apply tht
warnings of history to the present-da,
trend in our own land? Where. il
well may be asked, will industry lane
