RE THAT DISTRICT SLOGAN

| The Gazette has given space to the
following letter from E. c. Leedy, gen.
eral immigration agent for the Great
Northern railway, and suggests that
growers weigh well the arguments
presented by Mr.. Leedy for the adop
ton for advertising purposes of the
slogan 'Wenatchee District Apples"
No man is in position to speak with
greater authority upon this subject of
publicity for the north central Wash
ington apple district than Mr.. Leedy,
and his appeal should carry convic-
| ton to the growers Of all parts of the
district contiguous to Wenatchee. Mr..
Leedy has no other object in his sug
gestion than a desire to see that the
| fruit men of Chelan and Okanogan
counties receive the best possible re-
turns from the products Of their ORCH
ards, as he has worked insistently
and consistently for years securing
settlers and investors for those coun--
| ties, and it is not only his desire to
see this rich district brought up to the
highest state of production, but is anx-
ious that those contributing to that de-
velopment may prosper thereby:
st. Paul, June %, 1922
F. w. Graham, Seattle
Have noticed in Wenatcehee papers
recommendations by Oroville people to
use Northern Light" as advertising
slogan for apple advertising campaign.
Have wired Rufus Woods fully. We
hova u,,fc Of
during the past twenty years advertis-
ing fruit growing possibilities of the
Wenatchee district. Wenatchee apples
today are as we'll known to dealers
and consumers as Swifts premium ba
con and Gold Medal Flour Every one
| knows this as the Wenatchee district
! and not as individual communities. All
of our advertising for home seekers in
the Wenatchee district has been done
in the name of the Wenatchee district.
To abandon the name Wenatchee in
national advertising of apples means
the loss of the prestige that has been
built up for the past fifteen years, also
to separate the colonization advertis-
ing from the apple advertising The
future development of the Wenatchee
North districts which are already
planted and the projects yet to be de-
veloped depends to large extent up
on capitalizing the name and fame
which this district has acquired We
are only interested in what is best for
the entire district Evidently the Okla
hogan people are entirely overlooking
the tremendous prestige already estab-
lished. We recommend that they use
as their slogan "Wenatchee District
Apples" If they adopt some slogan
which does not include Wenatchee, it
will have serious consequences for flu
ture colonization as well as on mark
cts. 1t would be just as consistent for
other national advertisers to discard
the brands on which they have spent
millions of dollars and have made nat
ionally famous. This company are vi
tally interested in an intelligent adj
vertising campaign for the marketing
of these apples and you should follow
this matter up at once and see that
slogan is adopted which will capitalize
the prestige already established.

An effort will be made to defeat Sem

September, but so far his opponents
have not been able to groom candi-
date of sufficient calabre to make a
showing in the race against the SEN
ator Mr.. Pofndexter is human and
may have made mistakes in his official
capacity, but he is one of the ablest

perfectly safe prediction that Senator

The people Of this country are in
the habit of throwing up their hands
in holy horror over atrocities COM
mitted in Armenia. over the blood
thirsty crimes of the bolsheviki, over
the cruelty of the Germans in Belgium.
yet last week brutal, heartless mas
sacre of non-union workers in a coal
mine in southern Illionis surpassed in
shocking savageness, not only in the
method of the killing but in the in
human treatment of the wounded, any
thing that has ever taken place among
people who look upon atrocious crime
as a pastme. 1t would seem that such
|barbarity would be impossible in civil
| lized country. and would indicate that
our boosted civilization is not even
skin deep. 1t was a case where some
10 or more non-union miners were
surrounded by thousands of union
miners and their sympathizers, cap
tured and then done to death with the
most. horrible ferocity. America ceases
to be free country when every man
is not permitted to labor for living
and the government fails to protect
him while earning a livelihood. The
southern Illinois crime will do more
to arouse public opinion against
unions than anything that has ever
occurred in this country.

DEPLORABLE RECORD.

Never since the establishments q,
government weather record station /,
Oroville has so little moisture falIm
in the valley during the months Of Nv
and June as this year, and the SHOW.
ing is a most deplorable record. OnIy
n of an inch of moisture was record
ed during May, shade over thrs
quarters of an inch, and not enousi
rain has fallen during June for the h.
strument to record. Had not 50 mucA
snow fallen during the winter IL
crops on the hills would be beyond
all redemption. AS it is, the outlook
is most discOuraging.

Times may be desperately hard, as
our democrats brethren Of the press
insist, but it is apparent that people
are not edging and cutting out the
luxuries of life. Never was so many
motor cars manufactured as at the
present time. and it is impossible for
ALI the manufactures working at top
speed to meet the demand. Local deal
ers are at their wits end at times to
fill orders. 1t seems waste OF tears
for our democratic friends to turn on
the taps over a condition that does
not appear to exist.

According to the Times a movement

is on foot to incorporate Tonasket,
and considering the spirit of the peo-

rather strange that the place was not
incorporated long ago. Under incorpo-
ration Tonasket may not grow any
faster than it is growing at the pres
ent time, but incorporation will be
followed by municipal improvements
much to the betterment of the place,
although speaking from experience,
our neighbors are going to find that
civic improvements are quite strain

HARDING COUNTY HAS
SETTLED WITH MORA
COUNTY FOR $1,000

Mosquero, n. NJ, Dec. 10.-The
Harding county commissioners, at
a meeting here last week, issued
court house and jail bonds to the
amount of s-5,B00. Arrangements
have been made to sell these bonds
at par, and it is hoped that work
may be started soon on the repairs
to the court house. Settlement was
made with Mora county, of which
this county formerly was a part.
The state tax commission having
decided that the amount of money
owed to the county of Mora was
slightly under $1,000 as Harding
county's share of the Indebtedness,
and that nothing was owed to
Union county, the commissioners
Immediately issued bonds to cover
the indebtness to Mora county and
forwarded them to the county
treasurer of that county.
The Injunction recently secured
against the county commissioners
restraining them from issuing the
court house and jail bounds until
the establishment bonds had first
been issued, and that barrier hay-

SAYING 1T IN SLANG

Another college professor has just
taken wicked crack at slang. DR..
William Allan Nelson, president of Smith
College, tells the world that the use of
the unauthorized word and phrase, of
which Americans are so fond is the bunk.
But there are those who think that
slang is the insects eyebrows It is as
silly, they hold, to confine our speech
within the limits of Johnsonian English
as it would be to insist that modern
dances conform to the rules of the Spanish
fandango.
Yet the fandago and the English Ian
guage were imported here at approx
mately the same time. Usage is stronger
than dictionaries and purists. All the
world now goes to the movies" There
was word that fit. 1t was adopted.
That's all there is to it.
Language would die without growth.
And new words almost always are first
classed as slang, unless they are mere
combinations of Greek syllables such as
the chemists coin. Most of our slang
isn't new. It's the new slang that gives

1t takes two to pick a quarrel, but
somehow European nations can always

The view generally held by southern
senators appears to be that lynching is
proper as long as the home folks do, it.
Seems like about half the reading mat

U. S. industry is humming, according
to the federal reserve board. When in

Six former Greek officials who tried

found the support no more effective in
saving them from firing squad.
Reports all seem to be to the effect
that politically the new sultan is the
absolute and unquestioned monarch of
the entire palace in which he lives.
Charlie Chaplin is reported now to be

to medieval drama in which the hero
