Bys-Elections Sign
Of Lloyd George Strength
London Papers Comment

London, Feb. 20-The newspapers
generally consider the result of the
Bye-election in Cardigan, Wales,
Saturday, when Captain Ernest Ev-
ans, coalition Liberal, who was sup
ported by Prime Minister Lloyd
George, was elected to the House of
Commons over Llewellyn Williams.
Independent Liberal, as a. satisfac-
tory answer to challenges concern
ing the strength Of Mr.. Lloyd
George.
"A specially selected constituent
Cyl" the Sunday Times says, de-
clared the country's prime need is
a premier and a program that en-
visages difficulties and will endorse
courage that tackles problems roth
err than one which shrinks from
them.
1.-THE old guard of Liberalism,
known as We're Free harvested an
even more bitter defeat than had
been planned for the premier's can
didate when announcing that Car
diganshire. the most typical. the
most Welsh, the most radical, the
most non-conformist county in
Wales wauld speak for Wales to
the world"
The Sunday Observer character
ICES the election of Captain Evans
as due to the effectiveness of the
appeal of Mrs. Lloyd-George and
the continued ascendancy of the
premier in the mind of his country
men. ITO the premier this mes
sage of confidence from the people
of his own land comes s no or
binary encouragement" says the
Observer.
Only the Dispatch views the Car
digan election as a sign OF weaken
ing by the premier's followers.
If the prime minister's sup
porters care to claim the Cardigan
election as a triumph for the coali-
ton Liberals, they are easily pleas
ed" says the Dispatch.
This newspaper describes the cleo
ton as a vote Of confidence in the
premier, who was reported repre-
scented by an energetic but says that
despite her personality the glamor
of her husbands name and the mag
ic touch of the Welsh tongue, he
could not prevent 10000 Welshmen,
most of whom presumably were
coalitionists in 1919, from swinging
to the Opposition.
Mr.. Lloyd-George in congratulate
ing Captain Evans by telegraph said:
Your deserved victory proves
that Wales declines to be lured by
hatreds into imperilling national
unity. I shall enter the great con-
ference of nations next week with
a heartening knowledge that my
Welsh fellow-countrymen still trust
me to do my best"

SELL FRUIT NOW
HERBERT'S ADVICE
Yakima Man, Back From East
ern Markets, Would Edu-
cate Consuming Public

The consuming public in the East
and middlewest has some money and
needs fruit, but is not in a buying
mood, thus causing the recent slump
in prices, according to j. Walter He
bert, local sales manager of the North
American Fruit Exchange, after a
month spent in Eastern and Middle
western markets. ~. ..as.E.
Immediate steps should be taken by
Northwestern apple men to get the
public consuming apples by putting
out low priced apples in scattered
market, say eastern dealers.
81. To Keep Apples Moving
If the big crop of apples from this
state is to keep moving and not pile
up on the market every effort should
be made at once to bait the eastern
consumer with cheap apples until he
gets the habit and wants more apples,
is the advice of experienced men who
know the market conditions this year.
The pear markets is decidedly off
and eastern storage warehouses are
filled with western fruit awaiting a
chance to sell for enough to clear ex-
penses of the shippers, he says. "Not
a Yakima pear arrived on the market
green and the fruit had to be sold
at once for whatever they would bring
as they were too ripe to hold" said
Hebert.
The rapid changing prices and var
iation in daily quotations have eastern
buyers frightened and they will not
buy ahead for fear the price will drop.
Nearly every dealer has taken a loss
on some fruit this season, especially
pears, prunes and peaches.
Can Save on Fruit
"The grower has been demanding
prices which are too high to allow the
dealers any margin and they are SIM
ply laying off until we get our prices
down to where the consuming public
will take the stuff at profit to those
who handle the fruit" Hebert says.
Hebert attended the apple shippers
convention at Cincinnati this month
and found western fruit in strong de-
mand but at high prices. The. dealers
all reported shortage in the regu-
lar sources of supply but also found
the consuming public perfectly willing
to do without things which came at
fancy prices.
Better we take a reasonable price
and sell stuff f. o. b. or we will have
another rolling market, which means
disaster under present marketing con-
ditions," Hebert says.-Yakima Re-
public.
