RULING EFFECTIVE
ON SCALD AND DECAY
To be Considered Matter of Condi'
ton and Not Grade by Apple
Inspectors

According to a special dispensation
from the office of c. l.. Robinson,
supervisor of horticulture, State De-
partment of Agriculture, scald and de-
cay in packed boxes Of apples will be
considered by the inspection service
as a question of condition rather than
quality. This ruling was made in view
of recommendation having been made
at the Spokane Grade & Pack confer
ence that decay and scald be consid-
cred as having to do with condition
rather than grade during the 1929
shipping season.
quitting this rule in effect at once
will save large amount of unneces-
sary repacking, as it is well known
that repacking seriously damages the
fruit and that such fruit will probably
show decay again before it reaches
Market" says Mr.. Robinson. "In this
way our present ruling serves to dis
eliminate against apples stored in
Washington. Inspectors are instruc-
ted to report scald and decay under
condition rather than grade and to re-
frain from condemning apples for
scald and decay, provided they are
satisfied that the apples contained
none when packed. 1t will be unlaw-
full to pack apples showing scald or
decay at time of packing in excess of
the tolerance"

Lost Trace of Her When He
Entered Orphans Home
as Small Boy

Is there living in Kennewick q
young woman, who as a child, became
separated from her brothers and
knows nothing of their whereabouts :?
A letter from one Of the government
hospitals in Washington, d. c., to the
Kennewick Red Cross branch indicates
that there is.
The young lady, however, is un-
known to the Red Cross officials and
so far their inquiries have failed to
locate her. The letter follows.
emil Kunz, who was admitted as
patient to this hospital Dec. %,
1921, states that he believes his long
lost sister may be living in Kenne-
wick, Benton county, Washington.
He does not know his sisters first
name, but believes she may be rel
alive because another man in this
hospital told him that he knew of a
Miss Kunz at the above address, who
said she had three brothers from
whom she had become separated while
they were still children and whose
whereabouts she did not know.
"Mr. Kunz says the above facts are
true for his case and that neither he
nor his two brothers know of the
whereabouts of this sister.
"Mr. Kunz says he was born in
New Rochelle, N. Y, May 1, 1883 and
that when they were children he and
his two brothers, Rudolph and Frank
were placed in an orphans home be-
cause their father was an invalid.
He saw the sister only once after be-
ing placed in this home. From there
each of the three boys was adopted
into some family and they lost track
of one another and also of the par
ents and the little sister. After q
long time the three boys located each
other. Rudolph is now living in Cos
cob, Conn.,, and Frank in Buffalo.
Emil has been staying at 80 18th
ST., N. w.. Washington, D. c., until
sent to this hospital"

pany with Mr.. B. L. Slocum, the bee
specialist, at each stop some partic-
ular phase of bee culture will be stud
led.
Dairy and Live Stock-To get all
INFESTED cattle tested for tubercu-
losis where the owner is willing, and
to stop the spread Of contagious abb
ortion and bring it under control.
One day feeding schools are to be
held in four places in the county,
which will be conducted by the dairy
specialist, Mr.. d. G. Magruder.
In order to promote the improve
ment of the livestock industry and
dairying thru the use Of better sires,
a survey is to be made to find out
the number and quality of sires now
in the county. A meeting to start
this survey work was held in the
county agents office on January "a.
After the survey the campaign for
better sires is to be carried on by the
use of the federal pure bred sire
pledge and it is hoped this year to get
at least half the farmers with live
stock to agree to use only pure bred
sires.
In communities where suitable sires
are lacking, every assistance pos
sible will be given toward filing the
need.
Soils and Crops-The cooperative
demonstration work with fertilizers
and cover crops will be continued and
the early crops industry to which this
county is so well adapted will be ex-
tended as far as possible. This in
cludes the planning and following out
of some definite system Of crop ro-
tation in which the strawberry, pota-
to and asparagus crops will have a
leading place, backed up by enough
dairy stock to eat all the roughage
produced on these farms. This sys-
tenn of farming should also include
some chickens.
Efforts will be made to get those
who are planting corn, to test their
seed before planting and seed corn
selection day will be set aside in the
fall when all corn growers will be ask
ed to select seed corn for the follow
ing year.
Five one-day fertilizer schools will
be held in as many communities as
possible-four have already been held
.and the last one will be in Kenne-
wick on Saturday, February 4th.
Horticulture-Ten pruning, and as
many thinning, demonstrations will
be carried on, together with more work
on orchard cover crops. Six of the
pruning demonstrations have already
been given.
Plant Pathology February, nine
demonstrations on the treatment Of
seed potatoes and control Of potato
diseases will be given by Mr.. Zundel,
the plant pathologist. This will be
followed IN July by a field count Of
smut in the Horse Heaven wheat
fields. where plots were seeded last
fall to demonstrate the value Of cop
per carbonate powder as compared
with the copper sulphate and lime
treatment for the control Of smut.
Poultry - Eight meetings will be
held this month when w. D. Buchanan
will give instruction on the incubation
and brooding of chicks. This will be-
followed by an equal number later in
the spring to take up work in feeding
for egg production, and the selection
of breeding stock.
Six culling demonstrations win be
given later in the year.

Chief Rain-in-the-Face

3 HHIEF IN-THEFACE consid-
cred himself a progressive Indian,
q so when a settler told him that
feathers were comfortable to sleep on
he decided to give the idea fair and
impartial trial
Procuring a nice shiny crow feather
he put it on the ground and lay down on
it for his night rest
In the morning the Chief awoke
tired and stiff and very displeased with
himself. He arose and said, "Wbite

If you use advertising in the same
way that Chief Rain-in-the- Face used
feathers you will get the same proper
ton OF results. A single advertisement
IN a year is worse than wasted because
It leads you to believe that advertising
itself is no good. If advertising is to
produce good results, it must be taken
steadily, persistently and in sufficient
quantities just like feathers. -Gerbey's

Value OF Company "C'
First Infantry, NJ. N. 6.
To Cambridge AT Large

In sixteen of cur Maryland cities
there are located Companies OF the
First Infantry, Maryland National
Guard. They are equipped ana
recoeniZed by the Federal Govern
ment and organized and housed by
the State. Since the expense OF
maintaining these organizations Is
shared by both the Federal and State
Governments. it naturally follows
that the National Guard therefore
serves in duel capacity.
First when We speak Of the Nation
al Guard we mean only such organl-
cations as have fulfilled all the re-
uuirements of the War Department,
and as a result, been accorded FED
eral recognition, and it is only such
Units that can rghtfully be NclasSed
as National Guard.
Under the provisions of the Ma
tional Defense ACT of June 3rd, ~ b
the National Guard is assigned a
most important nosition in our hrst
line of Defense, and due to the I'M
portance of this position in our de-
Tense scheme must therefore be
maitained at a high standard of lit
ness at all times.
While keeping fit to discharge its
obligation to the Federal Govern
ment in case of emergency, it is un-
der the control of the State and at all
times available for the use of the
local community as the most depend
able source OF protection IN any or
all emergencies.
Such disturbances as riots. fires,
floods. etc. call for prompt action
and by the presence of National
Guard Unit in the community effect
i've organiZed assistance is quickly
made available. as was clearly dem
onstrated at the recent Pocomoke
City fire, when Company 'I' First
Infantry. Maryland National Guard
appeared within a few hours after
called out, and rendered valuableraS>
sistance there protecting public and
private property
These instances are of such an OFT
standing nature and a matter OF al
most daily occurance somewhere in
our county. that no performance Of
such duty should reed be recalled TO
the minds of our citizens for them to
fully appreciate the value of their
National Guard Company.
In addition to the protection made
available to a community through
its organized Company, there is the
advantage of having an organization
when has for its mission, prepaid
ness, in which tue spirit of comrade-
ship is strong and binding, and
whose training J.: pleanant and bene-
fetal.
All Companies of the First Infan-
try, Maryland National Guard have
been recognized by the War Depart
ment for almost eighteen months as
National Guard Troops, and the best
men of the locality are urged to dis
cuss the activities and plans of Com

CHAPTER TX
Sergeant Barry waited until the
racking. fearless sobs had ceased
and then he asked quietly: What
had Miriam Vane to do with your
wife, Mr.. Griswold?"
Griswold raised his head and the
detective had the shock of his ca
reer. He had thought that the men,
ton of the dogs foolish pet name
a recalled the mans dead wife,
and that it was genuine grief which
had opened the crusty financier's
long-closed heart, whatever his re-
lation to the other oma and his
share in the mystery. But it was
not resurrected sorrow which met
his amazed eyes; Griswold's thin
acidulous face had been trans
formed into that OF an exultant fiend
and personal fear seemed to be
wholly forgotten in the sundering
of the hold which he had held over
himself.
Miriam Vane." The repetition OF
the name came with a raucous
laugh. Miriam Vane was my wife,
my lawful wife to the hour of her
death. and she was too clever to
give me an opportunity to free my
self from her, at least without the
~notoriety that she knew l could not
afford. 1t took someone %cleverer
than she, less cautious than |, to
fire that shot last night, and be-
cause of it l owe a debt for the
first time in my life. a debt of
gratitude which even my none con
repay!"
Despite the astounding revelation
Barry did not allow his expression
to change, and his tones were SUI
avely persuasive as he suggested:
suppose you tell me the whole
story. Mr.. Griswold. Our knowledge
of the truth may enable us TO pre-
vent the notoriety you wish to avoid
How long were you married to the
woman who called herself Miriam
| Vane?"
For twenty years, YER since she
was a girl of sixteen and l a law
student of twenty-five down in a
little town called Springville, in
Delaware. I've given out these
many years that I was q widower be-
cause of the disgrace of the whole
affair, but it is evident that the truth
must be known nov and you'd find it
out sooner or later.
SIX years our marriage lasted
six years that brought d%isillusion-
nlent TO me IN spite of her beauty.
"She was twenty-five. IN the fun

"Venner had a son, a cookbook

that he would never have amount
ed to anything. anyway, but the
minute he laid eyes on Miriam, it
was all up with him.
He paused again and his Bony
hands clenched. Barry ventured:
do you mean that she broke up
their home and yours?"

was this awful froek, which bulged

sacrificed her hundred-franc deposit
rather than go on with the order and
have the hideous rag to show for it!
She got UP and began to drag the

Paul~stood n moment gazing in

that she really was miserable, that
the disappointment had gone deep
and the ems of being to blame, of
having done an unwise, ill-judged
thing, was not a trifle, after all.
He knew how that was in business.
He had been guilty of something
rather similar at the office that very
day.
