HARDING SENDS TRIBUTE
TO NoRTHcLIFFE'S WIDOW

President Harding voiced the grief
OF the nation In the untimely death
Of Lord Northcliffe.
In a joint cablegram to the Amer
lean embassy at London, the Presi.
dent and Secretary OF State Hughes
sent their coincidence and sympathy
to Lady Northcliffe. The cable
reads:
THE President desires that you
express to Lady NorthoNffe the
heartfelt sympathy OF Mrs. Hard.
ing and himself on the death Of
Lord Northcliffe. The President
fully appreciates the high qualities
of her distinguished husband: his
exceptional ability, his dominant

service OF mankind. He deeply de.
plores Lord Northcliffe's untimely
death. Will you also express to
Lady Northcliffe my personal sym.

Lord Northciffe
Predicted War
On Pacific
BY WILLIAM HARD,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

During the trip which the late
Lord Northcliffe made to the Far
East just before his last return
to London l had a letter from
him containing two observations
of interest to Americans regard
ing their affairs in "the region
of the Pacific:"
One of these observations was
this:
81 have been moving round
about the Philippines, China and
Japan, and have come away
with the conviction that the
Washington conference will not
avert an eventual war;"
The other was this:
when independence comes in
the Philippines the Filipino poll
ticians who have accomplished it
will make an excellent meal for
the Moros."
Northcliffe believed that the
Americans ought to stay in the
Philippines, and he believed that
the way Of safety for the United
States in the Far East was not to
rely on documents, but to play
the hand of its own strength
firmly-justly, but firmly and
without fear.

70 suppressed report of Brig. Gen.
William Mitchell, aOho, as Assist
ant Chief of the Army Air Serv-
tee, conducted the eGperime tai
bombing operations in the spring
and summer Of 1921.
This report reveals that the At
tuntic fleet is at the mercy of any
highly organized air force and thdt
the First Provisional American
Air Brigade could put out of Gc-
ton the entire American fleet in
q single attack.
The report, Which Send tor
Borah endeavored to bring to the
attention of the American public
through Senatorial privilege, but
failed, shows that any nation pos
sessing an island off the American
coast, such as the British West
Indies, could bomb any city within
the triangle of Boston, Chicago,
and Chesapeake bay, containing
the largest centers of population
in the United States and including
the capital of the nation.
A key is given to much that has
happened recently in Internal ttondl
naval affairs. such as the j,tnking
of Uur ships as planned by the
Washington Arms Conference, by
this report. Since these erpert-
ments tOere made, the Atlantic fleet
has been reduced from forty-four
vessels to forty-three.

THE conclusions drawn from the

velopment, acting from shore bases,
can find and destroy all classes Of
seacraft under war conditions, with
a negligible loss to the aircraft. 1t
is not necessary to destroy hostile
sea craft at a distance greater than
twenty-five miles off shore in order
to protect the coast; this distance

APPLE STILL KING

The total value of the fruit and
fruit products in 1921 was smaller
than for many previous years. This
decline is largely attributed by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture to the killing frosts early in
1921, altho lower prices for fruit also
entered into the equation. Contrary
to popular opinion, orchard fruits and
small fruits such as Strawberries and
grapes dominated all other fruits in
value, comprising SO per cent of the
value of all fruits and fruit products.
Other classifications in order of their
value are citrus fruits, II per cent;
small fruits such as strawberries and
cranberries, IA per cent; and grapes
ID per cent. The apple still retains
the right to be called liking of fruits"
as the apple crop leads all other crops
in quantity and value.

next to impossible for the average
citizen to know what the proposed
legislation means.
For instance petition No. AZ calls
for the enactment of highly tech
nical piece of legislation. It proposes
an entirely new workman's compensa-
ton act. The proposed measure is a
lengthy measure and it is impossible
for the layman, after having read it
thru, to form reasonable opinion as
to it's merits. The proposed law may
be all right or may be absolutely dis
astrous to the public veal. Which the
voter of even more than average in
telligence is unable to determine from
it's reading.
This paper does not question but
that the present law has defects which
should be corrected. 1t was drafted
by a commission equally representa-
tive of labor and employer. This COM
mission called to it's assistance the
best technical knowledge of the state
and spent weeks of work and study.
When the bill came to the legislature
committees of both houses spent more
weeks of study and investigation be-
for it was reported for debate.
Upon questions of the poll tax, pro-
hibition, etc., the average voter can
formulate an opinion but statutes like
the workmen's compensation act should
not be set aside or tempered with by
the blind signatures Of an uniformed
public.

IS 1T MONDELL?

TT is reported from Washington, d.
c., that the Smith McNary reclaim
alton is likely to go into the discard
because Congressman Mondell, of Wy
oming, is unwilling that it should pass
At this distance from the nations
capital it is impossible to know
whether the Wyoming congressman
is the real stumbling block in the way
of the bill or is merely the excuse for
a bunch of buck passers who wish
to square themselves with their con-
stitutents.
If true that Mondell can and will
bring about the death of the bill, the
report is pretty open admission that
the lower house of congress has ceased
to function, the Legislative machinery
has broken down and that party re-
sponsibility has become myth.
During the last presidential cam
paign the republican party pledged it
self to speeded-up and enlarged plan
of reclamation. The Smith McNary
bill has received the official sanction
of the administration as the proposed
fulfillment of that pledge. 1t has
been unanimously reported in both
houses by the committees to which it
was referred. Now, we are told it may
fail because Mondell doesn't like it.
If one man because of his bigotry,
his ignorance, his stubborness, or what
not, can set at naught the pledges of
the majority party and defeat the
will and purposes of both houses of
congress as voiced by their commit
tees, something is damnably wrong
somewhere.

GUN WADDING

A CASE tried in the superior court
this week gives the public an in
teresting insight into some fruit COM
mission companies methods of do
ing business.
The method is not new, nor is it
complex. The commission man takes
the growers fruit, sells it for all he
can get and at the end of the season
gives the growers what he wants to-.
In this instance the grower claimed
the commission firm was holding out
$27OO on him and the commission firm
claimed it had overpaid the grower
5000. The jury saw it the growers
way and allowed him the full amount
of his claim.
The interesting feature of the case,
however, is that the commission firm
was unable to furnish any records to
show when, where, how, to whom, or
for how much this growers apples
were sold. The only records in the
evidence were duplicates of the re-
ceipts given the grower for the loose
boxes delivered to the company's pack
ing house-records which the plain
tiff's attorney very properly charact-
erized as "gun wadding."
There has been entirely too much
"gun wadding" dealing in fruit in this
community and this case should be an
object lesson to the grower who per-
sists in selling his fruit on the COM
mission plan.
In this case the grower won out be-
cause he had contract the perform
ance of which he could enforce. 1t
cost him, perhaps, a few dollars to
have it drawn by competent at
torney but in the end it brought him
nearly three thousand dollars.
Is there any reason why any fair
dealing commission firm should re-
fuse to do business on an enforceable
contract? The Courier Reporter
knows of no such reason. The COM
mission house agrees to sell the grow
er's fruit and return him the proceeds
of the sale less selling commission and
perhaps a certain specified handling
charge. There is no reason why the
grower should not be furnished with
manifests to show when and where
the fruit was shipped and duplicate
invoices to show to whom and for how
much it was sold. The commission
firm that is unwilling to furnish this
information is not entitled to the
confidence and the business of the
growers.
1t is high time growers of this dis
trict with the support and cooperation
of the Commercial club and the COM
munity in general started determin-
ed campaign to eliminate the dealer
whose chief stock in trade is "gun
wadding" and poor returns. t
