tail work in securing the state land
settlement project for this valley
and in providing the state with the,
necessary land. has about finished
everything except paying the ex-

a deficit to cover.
AS the benefits to the non-resi-

here are almost as great as to
those living in the valley, the COM
mittee has, during The past week
or two, by circular letter. asked
these non-residents to help with
this expense. And if all of them
are as alive to and as appreciative
of the work being done by the To-

WILDER MEDAL WON
BY RAINIER APPLE

The American Pathological
Society, at it's convention recent
ly held at Council Bluffs, Iowa,
awarded the Wilder Medal to
the Rainier apple, according to
a letter just received by the
Washington Nursery Company,
of Toppenish, Washington.
The Wilder Medal is the No
bel Prize of the fruit world. ii
was provided for by a trust
fund left in 1886 by the late
Marshall P. Wilder, scientist
and pomologist, with instruc-
tions that it was to be awarded
to new fruit only after ex-
haustive investigation had pro-
duced proof of that fruits SUI
preme merit.
The Rainier Apple originated
in the Yakima Valley. 1t is a
new yet an old apple. Old be-
cause there are at the present
time a number of trees in heavy
and continuous bearing. 1t is a
new fruit in the sense that it's
commercial Importance, it's dis
tinctiye features, and it's un.
usually high quality as q fruit
have but recently been apprec-
lated and made known to the
public at large.
During the past four years
the Washington Nursery Com
pany has carefully investigated
and closely checked upon the
Rainier, which has resulted in
much valuable data.
Rainier apples OF the 1920
crop were kept by the Nursery
in storage an entire year. Three
boxes of the 1920 crop were ex-
hibited at the Washington
State Fair at Yakima late in
September, 1921, and the Rain.
Ter attracted much attention
and comment on its unusual
quality and perfect condition.
Fruit of the Rainier picked
during October 1912 was placed
on the table at the banquet OF
the international Refrigerator
Congress, Chicago in Septem.
Der 1913, in perfect condition.
The quality Of, the fruit
much resembles the Delicious
| but is of finer texture and bet
ter flavor. The Rainier is an ex
ceptionally long keeper and
does not show tendency to be
come mealy. / is n dessert ap
pie of the highest order.
The Washington Nursery is
the exclusive propagation of the
variety. All propagating ma
terial is obtained direct from
| the original bearing Rainier
trees, thus insuring genuineness
and quality of the future Rain
Ter paintings.

alone can enable it to meet it's

Writing for the Detroit Times, Mr.. Kunsky says:
WHAT A THEATER DOES
By JOHN H. kUNSkY.
Throughout history the human race, worried with
its problems and its struggles for life has sought
relaxation change in the minds work that means
rest for the brain. The Greeks had their public
baths, in which they met and talked; their public
squares, their famous philosophical promenades
The fighting Romans had their great arenas in
which men and beasts, and ships real water,
fought to amuse the mob.
In the middle ages they had bear batting, their dog
fights.
The Spaniards still have their bull fights.
The Americans, nation, far removed from the
brutality of the gladatorial arena, the bull ring,
find their mental rest and their mental pleasure in
the theater And in the modern theater and its work
you find reflected the national personality, its in
terest, its culture.
WHAT is THE MOVING PICTUREi
The question is not asked it once was,
when men doubted whether "the movies,' 80 called,
would last.
The moving picture is SIMPLY THE SHORTEST
ROAD INTO THE HUMAN BRAIN.
1t enables the actor to display all of his skill and
the spectator instantly see all that the story has
to tell.
You can do with the moving picture all that can
be done by the living actor, and thousand times
If you say that the voice of the living actor is
missing from the moving picture, I will admit it.
and regret it. But I will answer that the absence
of the actors voice increases the activity of the spec
tators' imagination, and the work that goes on in
side the mind of the spectator is worth infinitely
than the spoken word of any living actor.
To thought stimulate the imagination,
transport vast audiences by magic, to all parts Of
the world, is a great useful and educating work.
And that is what the moving picture does. An en-
tire week of work by living actors and of close at
te1ition by spectators could not show much can
be shown by the moving picture in two short hours.
Gigantic crowds Of thousands such stage on
earth could possibly hold are shown and brought
before the crowds in absolute reality the screen
The moving picture is the great educator, and no
say what good is done to this and to other
nations in which the moving picture with its dra-
matte story is part it we're, of the daily mental
