ROLL 81 CARS OF JOINS

The last of the Jonathan apples
from White Bluffs for the season will
be on their way to market by the last
of the week. Twenty-Five cars from
the White Bluffs Horticultural Ex-
change, thirty from the White Bluffs
Warehouse company and four from
the Bleakley Fruit company makes a
total of fifty-four cars. This exceeds
all of the estimates and is the largest
crop of Jonathans ever sent out from
White Bluffs.
The warehouses this week have
been shipping out Delicious and it is
estimated there will be ten or twelve
cars of this variety. Growers are
starting picking Romes. The Romes
have been taking on considerable size
during the past two weeks and will
size up well. There will probably be
about rs cars of these to 60 out Of
White Bluffs this season. Picking Of
Winesaps will not start for week or
ten days yet This is by far the larg-
est apple crop grown in this district
and it is estimated that the total
Winesap tonnage will greatly exceed
al of the other varieties put together.

CROPS BELOW AVERAGE

Crop yields this year will be on
the whole well below the average OF
recent years, the report of the depart
ment of agriculture shows. There
has been little Improvement in the
general situation in the month.
Irish potato prospects declined g.
100000 bushels because Of hot wealth
err in August, with drought in many
sections. The crop is now forecast at
344,000,000 bushels, which is Ill.,
100000 bushels smaller than last
years harvest. In proportion to pop
ulation the potato crop seems likely
to be the smallest since 1916, but the
final weeks Of the growing season
may change the outlook materially.
Indications arc for yield of about
100 bushels an acre as compared with
ia last year.
The commercial apple crop forecast
is 24,450,000 bushels against 26,604, 900
bushels on August /, 19,o50,000 BUSH
els for last year, and 22,575,0oo for the
fvc-year average. The total apple
production is placed at 273o0,00
bushels compared with 100000 last
year.

Hanford, and after some delay IN try
ing to find some one who could act,
on July LIST c. r. Wooten was APP
pointed to collect . in the country

GETS A GOOD HOMESTEAD

Ford Johnson drove up to Spokane
last week and filed on 320-acre
homestead at Cold Creek. The land
lies just south of the Chef MCGEE
homestead cabin. It was included in a
body of land withdrawn from entry
several years ago by the Department
Of the Interior but was thrown open
for entry again in June of this year.
A ruling Of the department gives ex-
service men 90 days preferential
right and this go days would have ex-
pred on September 18th. Ford fled
on the place on September 10th. Lo-
Gated as it is in the artesian district
at Cold Creek with new well being
brought in each year, the land is con-
siderd quite valuable. Ford intends to
establish his residence on the place
within the prescribed time and make
his home there.

Plan Campaign to Boost
Northwest Clay Products

Brick manufacturers Of Washington
and Oregon have launched a cam
paign to increase the use Of brick,
hollow tile and other clay products in
the constructio nof commercial and
school buildings, churches, garages
homes and other structures.
The campaign is scheduled to run
through the year and will inform
the citizens of the two states upon
the permanence, safety, ECONOMY
beauty and other advantages of using
clay products in building construc
ton.
1--WE feel that We are doing the
public, as well as ourselves, service
in this educational campaign, as it is
greatly in the public interest to have
buildings constructed of materials
which will stand the ravages of time
and which will protect the lives OF
occupants" said H. r. Kreitzer 81
Portland, president of the Pacific
Northwest Brick Manufacturers AS
sociation. More general use OF
brick, hollow tile and roofing tile will
greatly reduce fire losses and give a
better and more stable appearance to
our cities.
Even in cases where the initial
cost of using brick is slightly greater
the saving in maintenance, insurance
and other items makes the brick
structure much more economical than
buildings of less permanent material
and a better investment both from the
individual and the community stand
point"

CLUB FEET


What causes this deformity cannot
be said with certainty. Something
has occurred during pregnancy which
causes this position of the foot. What
1t is we do not know, nor do we know
Of anything that can be done to pre-.
vent it.
Club foot, however, can be cured
with treatment and this treatment
should be started during the first
month of life. If started at this time
most cases can be sured by simple,
painless daily corrective manual ma
nipulations by the nurse or the moth
er, given under the physicians direc-
tons. After two or three months the
doctor will probably apply series of
plaster casts, each securing additional
correction, by means of which the feet
are gradually brought back to the nor
nal position. This method, while te.
dious, if skilfully done usually entirely
overcomes the deformity.
If treatment is not started early the
trouble will be much increased by
walking upon the feet. We have all
seen club feet in adults where walking
is done on the outside of the ankle.
with the feet pointing in and some.
times backward. No conscientious
parent will permit a child to 60
through life so handicapped when n
cure is possible.
Even an adult can have this deform-
ity corrected by surgery, so that the
soles will lie flat on the floor and the
feet will point straight ahead.
If treatment has been neglected in
infancy, the surgeon will probably
wait until the child is old enough to
walk, and then correct the deformity
by means of an operation under an
araesthetic.
Tie two important things to remem.
Der about club feet are: First, That
it is no ones fault that 1t has occur
red; second, That treatment should
be started when the baby is three
weeks old and that this treatment
can effect cure.
