formed in White Bluffs Nov. 8,
1921, intended to unite in wedIock
Guy Chapple and Miss Daisy Cru.

months after the ceremony and af-
ter the couple had moved to Seat
tile, Chapple was arrested and plead
guilty to charge of bigamy, hav-
ing failed to secure a divorce. from
the last of three wives whom he
had previously married. He was
sentenced to the penitentiary at
Walla Walla and served IL month S
for the crime. He returned to
White Bluffs a short time ago, hav-
ing completed his sentence.
Although the marriage of Chap
{ pie to Miss Gruetzmacher was ille-
gal. it was deemed advisable to
have the annulment proceedings in
order to clarity the records as Doth
the marriage license and wedding
certificate had been recorded.
In order to save the expense of
procuring and introducing the rec
ords of the bigamy case from the
Seattle courts, Chapple voluntarily
went on the stand at the hearing
in Prosser Wednesday and testified
to all of the material facts of that
case.
Attorney J. G. Lloyd of White
Bluffs appeared for Miss Gruetzma-
cher at the hearing in Prosser and

cutting attorney. appeared in the
interest of the state.

NEARING THE END OF
THE APPLE PACK out

The apple pack-out for the
season in this valley is nearing
its end. The warehouses at
White Bluffs all report that all
Of the unpacked apples are in
the warehouse altho there is
still some packed stuff to come
III. The local railroad records
show that 209 cars so far have
been shipped and the three
warehouses estimated that there
will be about 100 cars yet to
roll.
The Horticultural Exchange
expect to finish the pack-out in
their warehouse by the end of
next week while the White
Bluffs warehouse figure they
will not clean up much before
Thanksgiving. Ira Hawley, who
has the Wenatchee house leased,
finished packing out last week.
According to the Government
report for November 1st-The
Washington commercial apple
crop is placed at 27,225, 900
bushels as compared with the
October forecast of 27,720,000
bushels, the 1922 crop of 21,312,-
600 bushels, and the 1921 crop
of 24,900,000 bushels. Total
apple production for the State
is expected to amount to 3d.
100000 bushels while the total
crop last season was .25,678,000
bushels. In quality the crop
this season averages 80 per cent
against SIS per cent last year.
Reports from the large market
ing centers indicate that the apple
market. which has been very slug.
gish for the past month or so, is
beginning to lock up Almost ev-
cry fruit growing section in the
country produced large crop of
late fall and early winter apples
this year but the late winter vari-
eties in the East. particularly the
Baldwin crop, are said to be away
below normal, which would indicate
that the Western boxed Winesap
would have the market pretty muc!,
to itself after the first of the year,
or when the early winter apples
have been cleaned up. And while
it is true that the West has pro-
duced an unusually large crop of
Winesaps this year, it is also true
that this part Of the country never
a finer Looking crop. The.
sizes are away above normal and
the color is exceptional.
Only comparatively small
amount of the Winesaps have so
far been purchased by dealers the
bulk of that variety being still in
the hands of the growers, and most
of the crop is going into cold stor-
age.

YOUTH GRIEVES OVER
MOTHERS DESERTION.

Few women are really bad, but
some bring as much sorrow upon
themselves and other through rest
lessness and recklessness' as if they
had chosen an evil way of life de-
hberately. Such was the case with
poor Goldie Rowan, wife of a viii
lage blacksmith. Her punishment
was severe and her repentance com
plete-the elimination being due to
her boys grieving over his mothers
desertion.
The story is told in What Love
viii Do" a William Fox photodrama
with Edna Murphy and Johnnie Wal
ker as co-stars, which is booked at
the Opera House next Monday and
Tuesday.
These two young players, who
made decided hits in the William
Fox special, Cover the Hill," which
enjoyed a years run on Broadway,
New York, thus winning their way
to stellar positions, have been CO.
starred ever since because of the
great and growing popularity they
have achieved together. They are
widely known as ideal lovers on the
screen, and as such they appear in
their latest photoplay.
