The death Of Col. Charles Young in
MonroviA, Liberia brings to mind his
bitter experience in this country in his
effort to get into active service duriue
the World War. His enemies won in
their battle against him else he woul!
have had tho rank of brigadier general
in command OF tho volunteer forces.
He hOrc his prosecutions like q true
soldier and then accepted a post IN
Africa, where Ire was engaged in train
ing the natives in the manual of arms
and in proving themselves the peers Cf
The hest military forces in Europe. His
death is pathetic, but his life in this
country Of ours was even more so. His
troubles, trials and tribula,ionS are
over and he will receive his just re.
ward in that land, where sickness, SOY
row, pain and death are felt and fcarel
no moro.

present distinguished occupant OF the
White House, His Excellency, Warren

pressed by DR.. Millers comments and
observations.
We were astounded by the boldness
'of the President Of the United States
and to some extent surprised at many
declarations, which he made in tho
heart Of the Southland. But DR.. Mil
Ter has taken high ground in dealing
with this subject and his comment say

it does of man of letters and he is

what does he say in this truly remark

pose in making history, so to speak at
'this particular period Of the advent Of
the Republican Party to power? Let us
see. He says:
The significance OF your proposition
is comprehensive and permanent. It
possesses little or no news value or
journalistic timeliness. The principle
which you lay down and the policy
which you approve are calculated to
have enduring consequences upon the
tangled issue Of race relationships. In
deed, the hasty reaction will probably
have no important results. The race
problem remains in all important re-
"spects the same Immediately after
your delivery as Immediately before 1t.
Fundamental principles cannot be
Judged by instantaneous results. One

APPLE GROWERS
NEED HIGH GOALS

No apple grower in the state
should be satisfied with the number
OF boxes of apples he is growing per
tree until it has reached the high
est possible yield of good quality
apples.
With orchards nine years old or
more, no grower in the Wenatchee
district or Yakima valley should be
satisfied with the condition of his
orchard or his management until his
average annual production is over
500 boxes per acre.
OF course" says f. G. Wood of
the extension service, State College,
some communities will experience
more difficulty in reaching this goal
than others, but it is practical and
can be attained
Growers in the Walla WalIa dis
trict should not be satisfied with
their orchards unless they are pro-
ducing an average Of at least 500
packed boxes per acre, while the
Spokane valley grower is working
under a little less favorable condi-
ton, but his goal should not be less
than a yearly average of 400 boxes
per acre
The question of yields is an i'm
portant one because the grower can
not make his orchard pay with a low
average production. The testimony
of 0. b. Shay before the Interstate
Commerce Commission showed that
the cost of production per box is de
creased as the yield per acre is in
creased. 1t cost. on the average,
$1.94 per box during the years of
1912 to 1921 to produce box OF
apples when the yield was 200 boxes
to the acre, while it cost but $l.0l
when the yield amounted to 600
boxes per acre.
A man whose ten-year average was
200 boxes per acre sold at an aver
age loss Of 81 cents if interest at
eight per cent on a valuation of
$500 was included in his costs. The
man whose ten-year average was coo
boxes sold at an average profit OF
81 cents on the same basis.
The management of the average
orchard needs to be improved so as
to obtain higher yields. This i'm

September II, Eileen Percy will be
seen as a little waif who was born
at sea and dragged up by an old
sailor. This Fox photoplay is a ro-
mantle comedy-drama in which the
girl eventually finds herself the heir
to a castle and its surrounding es-
tates incidentally a true-hearted
man falls in love with her.
The story and direction represent
the clever craftsmanship of Carl
Harbaugh. II is not so much new
ness Of theme that he strove for, as
novelty of incident One example
of his efforts along that line is in
the hiding Of the girl within big
roll-top desk
Miss Percy is said to have a part
that suits admirably her talents as
