FRUIT SHIPMENTS

Fruit Shipments from White
Bluffs this week included several
varieties of early apples, peaches,
apricots and a few late cherries.
M. S. Brannick shipped the last of
his apricots this week but others
whose cots ripen a little later will
not cleanup until next week.
While the amount Of fruit going
out is increasing every day every
thing is going yet by express. A
little later combination cars will
be made up. The quality Of all the
early stuff this season has been
good and sold for good prices but
the express still cuts heavily into
the returns. A great amount of
early fruit Of different kinds has
been set out this season, however,
and it will be but a few years be-
fore all of the early varieties will
be going out in car lots. But even
absorbing the high express
charges, shippers estimate that
they have checked out to White
Bluffs growers over $4,000 during
the past month for early fruit.

COMMUNITY SHOWS
MAKE THE Big FAIRS

Fairs form a part of our big
educational system. Fairs take
the results of good farming, good
breeding and good home prac-
tices and bring them before other
farmers and people at large. A
state fair can be built up by hold
ing many community fairs.
People have 10 be educatGd
to- go to fairs" said Lincoln R.
Lounsbury, extension editor Of
the State College, 'sand if they
have none within 200 miles OF
them, they will not attend be-
cause they don't realize what
there is to see. ~
"The reason the State Fair and
the Western Washington Fair
have grown during the past years
is that they have large exhibits.
1t takes exhibits to make a fair
and attendance to run it. )"
Where would the exhibits come
from if the people, were not edu-
Gated to show at the smaller
fairs? How many small stock
men living away from the fair
centers would be showing in the
ring, if they hadn't received their
training at the community and
county fairs before starting for
the State Fair?
Like state made up of COM
munities, districts and coumties,
so the, big fairs of state must
be built from the ground up.
Community fairs to encourage
community consciousness; county
fairs to bring the communities
together; district fairs to bring
the counties into one bond and
finally the big state fairs where,
after the people have become in
terested, they gather, observe and
learn of the wealth of the state.
The great state fair will never
exist till people get the fair spirit.
True it takes energy to accomp-
lish anything worth while, but
energy and local money spent for
real community and county fairs,
will make the big state fair.

OFFICERS GET BooTLEeeER

James Brooks Of Hanford was
arrested Thursday morning for lille
gal possession of Intoxicating H.
quor and was taken to Prosser that
afternoon where he plead guilty
to the charge and received fine
of $3.50 and a 10 day Jail sentence,
the Jail sentence being suspended
if the fine is paid. Up to Thurs
day evening Brooks was unable to
raise the fine and unless he does he
will have to lay it out in Jail. The
arrest was made by Sheriff James
Shepherd and Deputy Clate Grewel
Of White Bluffs.
Brooks was not at home when
the officers reached his house near
the outskirts Of Hanford, and the
sheriff found it necessary to break
in the door when Mrs. Brooks re-
fused to let them in. She had
broken one bottle on the stove but
the liquor was still running off the
stove when the officers got in and
fair sample was caught in ha.
sin. After a search another full
bottle was found.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks were
taken to Prosser but because
Brooks assumed entire responsible
lty no charge was placed against
his wife and she returned to Han
ford Thursday evening with Deputy
GreWell.

! Boyd Oliver, associate of Aaron
Sapiro of San Francisco, and l.. A.
Hunt, manager of the Oregon Co.
operative Hay association, spoke at
a meeting of hay growers at Liber-
tyhall Thursday evening on the
advisability of the hay growers in

formed in the two states for the
purpose of stabilizing the hay mar
ket to the end that the growers

movement has. gained great head
way wherever these two men have
spoken and there seems little doubt
at this time that the organization
will be perfected.
Every hay grower at the meet
| ing Thursday evening indicated his
desire to join such a movement an !
R. j. Roberts and Sam Allard
were appointed to call a meeting at
/ a later date when the local organi-
zation will be formed.

AGENCIES TO Fight new
MARKETING Law

Following the announcement of in.
tention made in Yakima in meeting
OF commission men from all portions
Of the state held May %. so commits
sion firms headed by the Yakima
Horticultural Union yessErday tilci
suit in Thurston county superior
court to renjoin state officials from
enforcing the provisions of the law
passed by the recent legislature Ii
censing commission men of the state,
says the Yakima Herald of June 23rd.
The hearing has been set for Friday
before Judge John M. Wilson in
Olympia.
The principal contention of the
plaintiffs is that q provision in the
act fixng the charge to be made by
commission merchants at not more
than 10 percent Of the selling price
unless under written agreement, is
unjust and unreasonable. 1t is con-
tended that the time consumed in
drawing up written agreements with
producers would often delay the sale
OF perishable products until they be-
come unfit for consumption.
The meeting held in Yakima WAS
attended by 80 produce dealers from
all portions of the state and at that
time attorneys were selected to fight
the new law On the grounds OF un-
constitutionality. Yesterdays suit
is the outcome OF that decision. The
three attorneys at that time were N.
C. Richards of Yakima, e. II. Guie OF
Seattle and S. e. Kizer of Spokane.
The state officials who are made
defendants in the injunction suit are
Director Of Agriculture e. l.. Frence,
ard Director of Licenses Fred j. Dib-
BILE.

INCREASE BERRY ACREAGE

From the number Of plants TAX
en- when the older strawberry beds
around White Bluffs were thinned
this week. it is estimated that the
strawberry acreage in the valley
has been increased between 25 and
30 acres. More of the early varie-
ties Of trees and plants Of different
kinds have been set out in the val

time. These are the crops that

The Peonle Paw. As IIsmal

The people of Seattle bought the
street car lines about four years ago
for $15. 100000. Within a year the
city found it necessary to increase
the fares from five cents to ten cents
or three fares for a quarter, to pre-
vent bankruptcy.
The next set of officials secured
votes by promising to reduce the
fares to five cents, which they did,
with a loss to the city running nearly
$4,000 a day.
Now comes the latest chapter in
Seattle's municipal ownership expert
ment The city council by vote Of
seven to two passed over the mayors
veto an ordinance again increasing
the fare from five cents to ten cents
or three rides for a quarter.
Seattle has no better car service but
is paying more for a ride than the
private company ever asked. 1t is
loaded with a debt of $l5,000,0 on
which it is paying interest. TO top
off the whole bill, it loses several hun
dred thousand dollars a year in taxes
which the private company formerly
paid and which are now loaded upon
remaining Seattle property.
Seattle citizens are paying a fan
cy price for their street car rides.

YES, THAT BANANA TUNE
WAS A WINNER
Composers of the Popular Tune VIII
Net Big Profits.

Yes, We Have No Bananas" is a
$4,000 tune
And here are the words:
Yes, we have no bananas, we have no
bananas today;
We've string beans and HONions,
cab-BAH-ges and scallions,
And all kinds Of fruit and say
We have old-fashioned to-MAH-to,
Long Island po-TAH-to,
But Yes! We have no bananas.
We have no bananas today
When a squawking fruit hawker
disturbed the late morning sleep Of
Frank Silver, leader Of a jazz band
in a New York food and noise en-
porium, he started something. Sill
yer and his pianist, Irving Cohan,
banded together and taking a rib
from the fruit vendors plaintive
plea, made a life-sized song hit. 1t
will net them between $4,000 and
100000
The piece has already sold into a
million copies and it is estimated that
another million will be sold. Stacks
of monograph records have been
purchased. The music rolls for play
er-pianos, pasted together, would be
as long as an express account.
1t is the first piece Silver and Co
han ever sold They had written a
good many before When they took
it to a prominent publisher he offer
ed them the usual $500 advance.
They were so sure that they had
made a hit they held out for an adj
vance of $1,000 and got it They got
a royalty Of two cents copy and a
royalty from each record and music
roll sold. On top Of that they jump
ed from comparative obscurity to
musical fame and are now known as
the Banana Boys"
It is their first flash and accord
ing to the tradition of Tin Pan Al
ley, where songs are made or broken,
it win probably be their one and
only.
After writing the song the com
posers played it for three months in
the cafe where they jazz with their
musical comrades each night 1t was
a tremendous hit The audience
joined in the chorus each night.
Now it is whistled and hummed
from the Battery to the Golden
Gate. Prize fight crowds are enter
tanned with its idiotic words.
Bananas and cream have become
friends again and the produce mer-
chants say sales have mounted so
rapidly they almost have to say,
Eyes, we have no bananas today"
then another carload arrives.
Publishers of the song had to force
the hit on their Chicago representa-
tives and California refused it flat
ly. That was Mt first Now in three
months the unusual song has seeped
into every hamlet.
II started an epidemic of crazy
songs" and one may expect to hear
almost any crazy title announced
within the next few weeks Already
