they were doing their best to "help win the war" by canning food fish for "the boys in France" the Bureau of Chemistry found that out of total of 817,334 cases of salmon ex- amined, 1O8,44O were from 10 per cent to 45 per cent putrid.
 A few of these men who claim that they are trying to enforce the law against robbery are as follows:
 Sunny Point Packing Co.,, $50 cases; Libby, McNeill & Libby, 1,- 435; Alaska Packers Association, 12,899; Lindenberger Packing Co.,, 2,85O.
 The other day big canneryman was in my office and in our con- versation he said that he drank liquor once in while but never be- fore the country went dry. told him that he was no better than a trap robber. This would be a fine country if everybody did what was right. The trouble has been and still is that the trapmen are above the law. They want the fishermen to obey the law, but they themselves violate it at pleasure.
 The one man most to blame for hthe blacklist is Steve Selig. He went Odown to the New England Com pany's plant and saw Nash Martin down there and pointing to Martin, he accused him of having trap rob- bed fish. Martin got mad and with his finger pointing straight at Steve, he said: "Me rob a trap! Me rob a trap! have seen you, Steve, rob- ping a trap. 1 saw you at trap with a scow, robbing the trap, you big thief. But you never have seen me at trap" Martin wanted to fight, but Steve hid behind the Marshal or somebody nearby.
 Isn't that the way? Charlie Burckhardt is another man at the bottom of this trouble. He wants the fishermen to obey the law, and yet Charlie and Steve and others form a blacklist and agree not to buy from any of those boats named The men are condemned without trial. To show how ill founded this list is, one of the boats has not fished in this district yet; another had engine trouble on her first

COLONIAL STYLE
BUNGALOW NICE
Fke-Room Dwelling That Appeals
on the Score Of Utility and
AttractiveneSS.
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
suestions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject OF building, for the readers of
this paper. On account OF his wide
experience as Editor, Author and
Manufacturer. he is., without doubt,
the highest authority on all these sub
tects Address all Inquiries to William

Here is simply designed bungalow
which creates most favorable Inn
preston in the beholder, principally
because intelligent use has been made
Of simple structural elements. 1t is
simple as to floor plan, being practical
ly square, with the extension Of bed
room at the rear which could be elm
mated If the bungalow were to serve
q smaller family. The portico Is one
such as was a favorite with early
American colonial builders, and no one
can deny that 1t dresses up" the en-
tire bungalow in satisfying way.
Then, too, the small terrace below II
Is equipped with quaint side seats, and
there are the long-paned windows with
flower boxes below, which add yet an
other decorative touch to the exterior.
The whole structure is finished in
white, adding greatly to its pleasing |
appearance.
Inside we are directly in the living |
room. This Is very well proportioned, ]

ent shape would serve well In warmer
climates better than in the North. In
colder places 1t might be well to have
them boxed In. The roof could DC
laid with cedar or composition shin
giles, and dark green or maroon col
or, or a variegated tone. would be very
pleasing. Observe that the garage II
any, should match the general design
of the bungalow to make the whole
more pleasing.
The Interior finishing Of this house
ought to carry out the simplicity and
good taste Of the exterior. We might
reasonably expect plain neutral wall
finish in living room, dining room or
kitchen, using the plain textured
plastered effects now so much In
vogue, tintIng with paint and calci-
mine, or using wall paper. The wood
work could very well be finished In
white or cream enamel, and the bed
rooms could use some of those cheer
full cretonne-looking wall paper pat
terms that go so well with Colonial
type Of bedroom. Splay-backed chairs
IN the Windsor pattern and mahogany
four-poster beds would go well here.
As the house is small. over-stuffed fur
1iture would not be suitable, except In
one or two pieces, like a chair or
davenport.

the yearly American wool clip was
pooled by the growers. -Four thousand
shipping associations Ia the North Gen.
tral states send rs per cent Of all the
live stock sold in the terminal markets.
There are dozens of cooperative mar
keting associations for the handling OF
vegetables. poultry, hay, rice ana
seeds. Recently a national sales
agency for selling fruit and vegetables
for the various local and sectional
associations opened Offices In 141 mar
kets. There are now IA statewide
potato exchanges and plans for ma
tional federation have been drawn up.
One-sixth of the 100000 pounds of
rice produced annually In the United
States is marketed comparatively.
The past year eggs laid by ten mil
lion hens In dozen states were pooled
for market Last year Pacific coast
poultrymen sent 1000 carloads OF

Large Sums for Advertising.
Along with the expert statesmen the
farmer Is hiring expert advertising
men to handle great sales campaigns
to sell producer-brands of raisins and
oranges and butter and ice cream and
prunes. Producers are standardizing
their products and advertising their
brands both nationally and interna-
tionally. In one year, 1922, four of the
cooperative organizations alone spent
over four million dollars on advertis-
ing. Two and one-half million was
spent by the Sun Maid raisln growers.
During the past nine years over seven
and half million dollars have been
spent advertising Sun Maid raisins
The California Fruit Growers eN
change, representing the citrus grow
ers of the state appropriated over
$500, 900 for advertising in 1922. The
appropriation for 1923 slightly ex-
ceeded this amount. The prune grow
ers Of California spent S400,0o0 telling
the story of Sunsweet prunes. The
league OF Utica, n. Y, ap-
propriated $5O0,0O0 last year for ad-
vert,sing raw and semi staple milk
products.
1t isn't easy to grasp the proportions
Of the cooperative movement. In a
short decade these great corporations
have risen out of the yellow gold OF |
wheat fields, from the orange and |
lemon and prune orchards Of the West, |
from the Southern fields OF tobacco |
and cotton-corporations whose mem.
bers are the tillers of the field, the /
keepers of the orchards whose billion /
dollar business Is managed by experts |
and controlled by its farmer members. !

enterprises will be the

products are handled through his own

These two rooms occupy the entire
front of the bungalow; the living room

In the latter there Is an unusually
good arrangement of shelving, with

STATUE OF CARRARA MARBLE
nous Stone, to Grace the Estate Of
Wealthy American.

With the completion of a heroic
statue Of Adam and Eve, hewn by an
eminent sculptor TO grace the estate Of
wealthy American, what is said to
be the largest block Of Carrara marble
ever brought into this country found
expression in one of the oldest, and
perhaps the most influential Of the
arts.
Since Roman emperors opened the
qnarries more than two thousand
years ago, merchant princes Of the
Middle Ages, monarchs and the mod
ern world have fashioned their archi-
tectural dreams n "Carrara." Only In
Tuscany, Italy, is II now to be found In
great quantities. More than one mil
lion tons yearly are being produced In
the Apuan Alps, where there Is
mountain Of glistening stone FIVE thou
sand feet high. And, despite the fact
that centuries Of building and art have
drawn upon these snow-white deposits
for their uncarved beauty, the supply
Is little more than touched.

New Plane Invention
Keeps It From
Sailing

LONDON, Aug. s.-"Stalling,"
one Of the greatest dangers in
flying known to pilots, has been
rendered impossible by a new
invention now in use in many
British aeroplanes.
The "stalling" effect is caused
by the nose Of an aeroplane tilt
ing downward, due to the loss of
speed, with the possibility Of
the machine developing into a
spin, and usually occurs when
the aeroplane is about to take
off or land.
By a rariable trailing edge to
the main planes the machine is
able to keep its lift at a bigger
angle Of attack in the air, and
when it does lose flying speed
the machine merely sinks gently
and slowly under perfect control
until forward speed is regained.
1t is considered likely that
such a device will be compulsory
in future on all aeroplanes.
