Raymond Campbell gave the
Vashon Boy Scouts very inter

quipment, which he showed and
explained, also a collection of
souvenirs. We hope that in the
near future he will tell us about
his experiences in the world war.

times and they only say it is not
enough. People must miss very much.
There are many thousands of un-
employed men, and even the state
dismisses a deal of his officials.
Those who have to work earn a
little salary; tenth of the whole
income is called in as taxes, and be-
sides there are many other kinds OF
taxes and customs. Before the war
government officials went tax free,
dollars and earn about two hundred
and now / have to pay about forty
and forty dollars a year. There are
old men and wives who cannot earn
money. They starve. Some commit
suicide to escape the great sorrows.
Many starving children are fed,
thanks to the magnaminity of many
good men there in America.
But nevertheless we hope that the
hardest times have passed and that
We have better future before US.
We work more and longer than before
we are content if we have scarcely
enough to live. You see, conditions
here are still bad; little money and
high prices. Food and clothing, the
most necessarious things for life,
even are high priced. A dress costs
from twenty-five to fifty-five dollars.
We never would have considered it
possible that one can live under such
circumstances. But the hope for better
times helps to hold out.

SPRAY THE TREES

THERE should be no Stacking in
= the spraying campaign which Dep
uty Inspector Johns ordered to rid
the city fruit trees of San Jose scale.
A scale-infected fruit tree in back
yard is not only no good to the OWL
er but is a menace to the orchard
industry of the district,
The fruit grower, especially the
apple man, is up against most dis
heartening situation, and forced to
carry on under the most dishearten-
ing circumstances. His lact years
crop is either unsold or is selling at
a price that at best will net him little
more than cost. In many instances last
years spray bill is still unpaid and
the season is here when he must be-
gin paying out money for this years
spraying operations.
Orchards of this district have been
almost entirely free from scale but
the pest is again getting start and
must be controlled or exterminated
or the apple industry is doomed.
The growers only hope is the pro-
duction of a large percentage of first
quality apples. With scale infected
trees even this hope is blasted.
In short, the apple grower has
enough trouble over which there can
be no local control without the city
residents adding to his burdens. Fail
ure of the city resident to spray his
trees is no less than Sinking of a
plain duty.
There should be prompt and whole
hearted cooperation on the part of
the public and no monkey-business on
the part of the Inspector. The axe
should be promptly applied to the
trees of the city owner who fails
to cooperate.

HARD TIMES

Nephew of Kennewick Man
Writes of Conditions

Herman Fisher of this city is in
receipt of an interesting letter from
Friendrich Adler, nephew of the late
Mrs. Fisher who writes from Beuthen,
Germany. "A part of the letter fol-
lows:
/ will tell you about Germany as
you take so much interest in it. The
high prices and great numbers have
vanished nearly over night. Eight
weeks ago we paid for dinnenr one
billion five hundred milliard at least,
Il 500 600, 600, OOO, 900 marks), now we
pay rs marks, that is the same price
we paid before the war. One has

prices are low, but the salaries are
even lower. have given up my pro-
fession as teacher, for the govern
ment officials receive a quarter of
the salary they received before the
war. Therefore have become bank
official and even in this position,
which is pretty good I have half a
dollar the day to live on. Also here
all is compared with the worth Of
dollars.
In your letter you inquire what
kind of government would be best for
Germany. An answer to that question
is very difficult. There are more par
ties in Germany than ever have been.
Each tries to secure its object and
one says that this fact is the cause of
our misery. Almost in all great cities
bloody civil wars have been where
the political parties have fought
against one another. AS you know we
have a president since the reyQlution
after the war and our former emperor
lives in Holland.
What kind of government would be
best? We have lost the war, great
pieces Of the country are taken off,
we have no colonies, no fleet, no
soldiers; the enemy is within our
country (the district of the Ruhr is

we must know what is the sum we
