whoa there!" cried Puss Junior,
refining in his Good Gray Horse The
Robin perched on the fence, and the Pig
without a Wig gave a grunt of satisfac-
tion and lay down on the grass.
4 little man. very angry and excited,
stood by the gate whipping a small dog.
Hold on. Why do you whip your
dog?" cried Puss.
That's what I'd like to know" said
Tom Thumb. The Pig Without a Wig
gave another grunt; the Good Gray Hors,
whinn ed ad nthe little Robin chirped
And then the little angry man stopped
beating his dog and said:
Il had a little dog, his name was Buff,
I sent him to the store for an ounce of
snuff
But he lost the bag and split the snuff,
So take that cuff, and that's enough"
I'm glad to hear you say it's enough, -
cried Tom Thumb 1--WE were about los
ing our patience. We never allow anyone
to hurt an animal"
tits my dog, and III do what I like
with him." cried the man, and he gave
poor Buff another cuff.
This was too much for our brave Puss
Junior. Leaping from his saddle, he
drew his sword and ran toward the man
"If you give Buff another cuff I'll cut
the cuff off your sleeve. And If that's
not enough, III cut the sleeve off your
coat"
The man paused, his arm upl!fted
ready to strike the poor dog. BE care
full" said Puss, 81 mean what l say.
While I'm not Overfond Of dogs. at the
same time, they are mans best friend
Ny trusty sword shall see that you treat
your dog kindly"
Bah" suddenly exclaimed the man,
giving POOR Buff another cuff. "My
dogs name is Buff, but yours, Sir Cat,
is Bluff"
But the next minute he wished he had
left these words unsaid. Puss Juniors
sword flashed a moment in the sunlight
and then down it came and off went the
mans cuff as neatly as If tailor had
used his big scissors. "Phist" hissed
Puss. his eye blazing with anger. "Phist'
phist," and again his sword flashed, off
went the mans sleeve as neatly as a
butcher slices off a piece of ham.
Hold. my noble Sir Cat" cried the
man, would you undress ME with a
sword? Take the dog, and let me go'
a bargain, :" cried Puss Junior, sheath

port and was followed by f. T., Curf.

pose on their patrons to the extent OF
demanding per cent of their first

orbtant fee, adding that more than

quarters outside the state.

tion for a year. in view Of the fact

cnt of schools, said that If the matter

Of the instructors this means indefinite

matter will be settled before spring
The board Of control will formulate
general plans for conducting the bu-
rcau and administering its affairs and
Il also will elect "A manager for the
bureau. The fee for placement exact
cd by this bureau will be 2is per
cent, instead Of per cent, OF the
teachers earnings for the first year,
but the funds. by this method, will be

YAKIMA FRUIT MEN USE
ADVERTISING AS AID

How the Yakm fruit growers arc
moving their apples in the face o!
tlow demand is told in a story car
ried in the December number of the
Big Y" bulletin, the official publca-
ton of the fruit men of that section.
Advertising is being used in many
sections Of the country to push the
sale of apples, and the results at
tanned have resulted in many car
loads being moved. The story fol
lows:
There has been very little change
in the marketing situation during
trs past month. If .pnything, the
markets have as a general thing
sought somewhat lower levels as a
result of the heavy arrivals of dry
storage stock in both Northwestern
boxed apples and barrelled stock.
An unpreccdentedly large con
sumption of apples is taking place
due to the cheap prices prevailing,
which is having the desirable effect
of cleaning up very rapidly very
considerable part of the dry storage
stock. especially the soft or fall va
rietics. There has been very little
demand for winter varieties up to
the present time. Rome Beauties
are now beginning to appear on the
market with a scattering demand for
Nincyaps mostly in the lower grades
and small sizes. The trade is look
ing for cheap apples as general
thing. We do not anticipate that
there will be a very heavy demand
for the winter varieties until tht
middle or last Of january.
The Association is carrying th'
larger part of its Rome Beauties IN
cold storage, together with practic-
ally all of the Winesaps II is an
ticipated that the Rome Beaut,
market will develop in January anc
February. There are relatively snlal
stocks Of competing varieties in thu
barrellcd states, and it is therefor
anticipated that our Rome Bcautie'
will sell to advantage later.

pERINGER SAVES MORE
THAN $4,000 ON BLAD|NC

4 saving of something more than
$1,000 in one tillinE operation during
the course of the season of cultivation
of fallow ground on one ranch waS
effected during the summer of 1922 by
Hobart Peringer. The saving was all
caused by a very simple change in ma
chincry, but PerinGcr thinks it worth
while.
There were $500 acres of fallow
land to he bladcd on the Peringer
ranch this summer. and one of thu
men working on the ranch made tho
suggestion that by changing the blades
Sc that they were propelled on rollers
instead of on runners, as it customary,
he burden Of operating them would
be materially decreased so that the
same number of horses or mules
could do more work. without hurting
themselves.
The change was made. rollers about
one foot long being exchanged for tn"
'unners on the blades. Pcringer used
hrec eight-mule teams, each eight
pulling . 2S-foot blade, which was
made OF TWO l4-foot blades Rnuckled
together. Three men did the driving
and they bladed the 2.300 acres four
times during the season.
