GRAND MOUND GIRLS
TASTE CIRCUS LIFE

When Leona Brock and Lola
Bunch, Grand Mound birls, each Is
years old, decided they would like
circus life, they went to Chehalis one
day last week and Joined the Palmer
Brothers outfit which visited Olym-
pia recently.
Now both girls are at home again,
their illusions about circus life and
it's joys dispelled. They found the
life "a hard grind, they declared.
and both were glad to get away from
it.
Miss Bunch broke away from the
circus Saturday and returned to her
home, but Miss Brock remained with
the troupe until yesterday. Miss
Brooks mother, informed by Miss
Bunch as to her daughters where
abouts, went to Puyallup yesterday
to seek out the girl. When mother
and daughter saw each other as the
circus parade was passing over the
Puyallup streets, both tainted at the
same instant.
Mrs. Brock and her daughter re-
turned to Grand Mound yesterday
afternoon.

Marketing Body Devoid of Politics
CreatestNeed of American Farmer

their time largely in passing resolu-
tions and making recommendation
to congress" Anderson said.
They're past masters in passing
the buck. Frankly congress is pass
ing that sort of buck back to them.
Anderson was equally frank con-
cerning organizations which attempt
to bring about an agricultural mile
mum by legislation. That type Of
organization, he said, ends in an en-
evitable smash-up.
Three outstanding benefits that
would result from a marketing Or
ganization, cited by Anderson are:
/. The cost of grading products
to make them marketable would be
eliminated.
2 Additional influence over the
price of his commodity would en-
able the farmer to compare with the
great buying power of organized in
dusty.
8 Better distribution, enabling the
farmer to deliver his product at the
time and at the place and when and
where it is needed.

SPECTACULAR FIRE DESTROYS
WAREHOUSE AND Fifteen CARS
BackGre from Automobile Starts Blaze Which Spreads
With Lightning Rapidity Whole Length Of
Building and Causes Heavy Loss.

Backfire from an automobile was
the cause of fire late last night
which destroyed the long frame ware
house of the Olympia Oyster Invest
ment company, Tilton and Fourth
streets, together with fifteen automo-
biles stored in the building, accord
ing to r. Sligar, agent for the
Cooney Motor Company of Tacoma,
which owned most of the machines.
The blaze was one of the most spec
tacular in the history of the city,
huge sparks from the blazing build
ing being carried high into the air
and out over the city, casting glow
of light far beyond the city limits.
The sparks endangered adjoining
buildings for time and several roofs
nearby were slightly damaged.
Aside from this. however, the fire
department confined the blaze to the
one structure.
According to Sligar's story he went
into the building about 10 o'clock
to take out q car which he intended
to drive to Tacoma. He planned to
spend the night in that city and show
the car to prospective purchaser in
the morning, he said.
Motor Backfires.
The motor was cold and when
started backflred several times. Sligar
got out to move another machine out
of the path between his car and the
door and was attracted by light
behind him. Turning he saw that
the floor back of the machine was
afire. Seizing a cushion he attempted
to smother the blaze but failing in
this he ran out to give the alarm.
The fire alarm box at Fourth and
Tilton defied efforts to open It for
time and Sligar ran for the fra
hall while others stayed with the
box. Just as Sligar reached the hall
the alarm began to ring In. BY that
time the entire building was ablaxe.
Sligar says that as he ran out to give
the alarm there was loud swishing
noise behind him and a great burst
Of fame which he believed was made
by the fire reaching the gasoline tank
of his car.
Place Filled With Cars.
With the place filed with automo-
biles. all of which carried come gaso-
line, and the old building dry as tin
der and somewhat oily, but a moment
was required for the flames to go
from one end of the structure to the
other. Within three minutes after
the fire broke out portions Of the
roof began to fall in, sending showers
of sparks high into the air.
The blaze attracted an immense
crowd which watched the firemen
