TESTS MAY IMPROVE
LOGANBERRY MARKET.

Marketability and popularity
OF Washington loganberries will
be enhanced if experiments being

ny juice contains valuable food
vitamines.
Dean G. w. johnson of the col
legc Of pharmacy, under whose di-
rection the experiments are being
conducted by DR.. Zalia j. Galley,
this ,.7eek expressed the opinion
that such vitamens may be found
in the loganberry juice. DIR.
Galley is testing for the vitamens
by experimenting with white rats.
Vitamens exist in such fruit
juices as orange and lemon, ac-
cording to DR.. Galley, and these
are much more healthful, she says,
than those contained in yeast.

Local egg and poultry raisers who

IN
PRUNING AND SPRAYING

Your home orchard or your
back yard fruits can be made pro-
ductiye by properly pruning and
spraying them, writes A. B. Ny
otrom, county agricultural agent,
in arranging for a pruning and
spraying demonstration to be held
at two points on the island net
month. Last years results Of
pruning and spraying in demon
stratlonal orchard in Western
Washington showed that trees
which were pruned and sprayed
returned at picking time 1912
boxes of Of fancy and choice fruit
and two boxes Of culls. The trees
which were not cared for produc-
ed four boxes of choice fruit and
the remainder culls. The choice
apples were sold at $l.00 per box
and the culls priced at 30 cents.
AT these figures, there was a net
return of $3.50 for the sprayed
trees anfter deducting 95 cents
for the cost Of the material and
labor, above the returns from the
trees which were not pruned. /
think these results were very GOOD
and they show very clearly that it
does pay to spray and prune the
orchards in Western Washington.
Pruning also increases the color Of
our apples and increases the size
Of the fruit.
Demonstrations in pruning and
spraying have been arranged by
County Agent Nystrom on March
5, at 9 80 a. m. at the orchard Of
Eernissee, Vashon, and at l :0O p.
m. at the home Of G. G. Rivett at

COL. CRAS. R. FORBES
QUITS UNDER Fire
Head Of Veterans Bureau
Charged with fIisman-
agement and Waste.

Colonel Charles r. Forbes
head of the United States veter
ans bureau, has resigned his po
sition, and as soon as he arrives
in this country from Paris, he vii
be asked to appear before the
special senate investigating com
mittee to answer charges Of waste
mismanagement and irregulari
ties in the administration of the
bureau.
Thus eliminates a long cam
paign on the part Of the American
Legion to oust Col. Forbes. The
veterans bureau was organized
twenty-five months ago to serve
disabled and manned veterans
but instead of serving them, the
Legion officials claim that it has
been operated for the benefit OF
deserving political henchmen as
well as a favorite pie cutter fol
those who contributed to cam.
paign expenses.
Summed up, the officials and
former service leaders charge:
Existence of a conspiracy to de.
fraud the government in the sale
of surplus army supplies allocat-
ed to the bureau which may bring
Indictment of several former of.
ficers of the veterans bureau.
Payment of excessive rentals
for schools and hospitals and of
fees used by the bureau III carry
ing out its work..
Grabs" by construction and
material firms in connection with
the building of hospitals.
Favoritism shown certain real
estate owners in the amounts
paid for building sites.
General destruction of the per
sonnel morale of the bureau, fol
lowing the expose of the above
conditions.
All of this is of especial inter
est to residents of Vashon-Maury
island, as Col. Forbes was for a
Newport, where he still owns a
home. Undoubtedly DR.. Ireland
and Mr.. Pritchard, two of Col.
Forbes appointees from this is
land will lose their official heads
upon Forbes retirement.

SABOTAGE PRACTICED
ON COUNTY TRACTORS
Tractors on the Mainland
Filled With Sand
and Asphalt

"A story OF sabotage and attempt
ed revenge comes from the main
land IN connection with the coun-
ty road machinery. Evidence is
at hand showing that county en-
gInes and tractors used on the
highways has been tampered with
lhe road workers last week found
that the valves Of the gas engines
mad been filled with sand. the cy-
llnders filled with hot asphalt and
steel plnions SO placed that had
the machinery been started up,
gears would have been stripped
and great damage inflicted.
The first signs Of sabotage that
came to the attention Of the new
road crews was that the cylinders
OF gas engines and tractors had
been filled with hot asphalt. AS
1T cool it made it extremely diff
tlcult to repair. Block and tackle
mad to be rugged up to draw the
plstons. Sand was then found in
all the valves and had to be re-
moved. In the gears were found
pieces Of vanadium steel some TWO
inches long and as large as The
thumb so placed that had tlie ma
chimes been started the gears
would have becn completely
stripped, entailing damage to the
extent of good many thousand
dollars.
Another evidence was discovered
one morning when it was impos-
slble to start one Of the gas en-
glnes. Every effort was put forth
10 no avail. Finally an examina-
ton of the gas tank was mall aud
1t was found to contain kerosene.
This was removed and gasoline
substituted and the machine start
ed without particle Of trouble.
