DENVER, Colo, November IL
America should keep faith with it's
war dead and bend it's efforts to
perpetuation of world peace, was the
Armistice day message of John r. Nc
Quigg, national commander of the
American Legion.
1T is seven years since the last
shell burst beyond the Meuse,' the mes
sage read. Seven years since the
great guns fell silent, and mems ears,
long deafened by the thunder of war,
at last felt the sweet silence of peace
Seven years ago men died with
only the requiem of artillery fire and
machine gun chatter in the belief that
war had claimed its last dead. Thou

and hopelessly disabled in that war

Dead for an Ideal.

To-day is Armistice day, the sew
enth anniversary of their sacrifices.
1t is also peace day, the day when we
who came out of that conflict un-
scathed should give an accounting of
our efforts to keep faith with the dead
and bring into reality the ideal for
which they died-world peace.
The American Legion has pledged
itself to the support OF three-fold
peace program.
The immediate adherence by the
United States to a permanent court
of international justice.

OF those who cannot speak for them

Seven years ago today hostilities
of the World War ended with the
signing of an armistice. A few days
prior to November II, 191S-to be

civilized world literally went mad
because of an announcement, which
proved to be erroneous, that the war
officially had ceased. A delirlum OF

A policy designed to restore the
morale Of the workers In the
Washington Navy Yard gun fac
tory, whose force OF employees has
been steadily out down for the past
four years, has been adopted by
the Navy Department.
An assurance OF steady employ
ment to the 2,3S9 remaining en-.
ployes at the plant is to be given
by Rear Admiral Benjamin f.
Hutchinson. commandant of the
navy yard, as part of the new
policy. A program of replacement
work has been approved by naval
officials which will place the gun
factory on a stable basis.
Ever since 1.-The Washington uIni-
tation Of armament conference,
there have been successive slaahes
In the number Of workers at the
naval gun factory, and morale has
reached low ebb, II Is admitted
by officials. In the pe-war period
the factory employed $500 men,
and during the war this was en-
larged to force Of $4,000. In
the subsequent deflation the navy
yard has been cut to barely SIS
per cent Of its pre.war strength,
and only comparative handful Of
the remaining workers felt that
their jobs were secure.
Because OF the requirements Of
gun replacement and refining It is
possible to work out a policy of
work for the gun factory which.
will be only slightly affected by
further slashes in the navy budget.
These requirements must either
be made or capital ships OF the
navy will be put out Of commission.

Miss Miller was seized with a fit

later, two girl friends found her in
the condition STATED above. She
was brought into the church, where
she recovered consciousness. but
her mind was affected to such an
extent that she has been in delir-

HEATERS SAVE SOFT FRUIT

The temperature dropped to 23
above in this valley Wednesday
night. A stiff cold wind from the
northwest had blown all day and
when it died down in the night the
Temperature dropped rapidly,
reaching the low point about A a.
m. Frost warnings had been re.
ceived in the evening and every
grower who had orchard heaters
started firing them about 2 a. m.
and in almost every instance was
able to save most of his soft fruit.
In practically all orchards that did
not have heaters. the soft fruit was
damaged, to what extent has not
yet been determined although it is
generally admitted that the dam
age was severe. especially to peach
es and apricots. Sweet cherries
were also hurt, the damage in some
orchards apparently being heavier
than in others. 1t is not believed
that pears and apples were far
enough alorg to be damaged.
Connections have been made
with the US weather bureau and
when conditions indicate frost, a
warning is phoned to the telephone
exchange here and Mr. Wilkinson
furnishes the information TO any
one interested. The weather bu-

.SUNNYSIDE WANTS new
NORTH and SOUTH ROAD

Headed by Editor Hillyer of the
Sunnyside Sun and Postmaster, Fred
Arrowsmith, a delegation numbering
about 80 Sunnyside residents were
responsible for meeting held at
Richmcnd's ferry below Priest
Rapids on Monday. The purpose of
the meeting was to urge improve
ment of the road leading from Van
tage ferry south through Beverly to
Richmond ferry and over the hill to
connect with the White Bluffs-Yak-
ina road near the Chet MCGEE cabin,
and following this road to Barrel
springs over the new road built last
year, that crosses the Rattlesnake
hills to Sunnyside. This is one of
the links in north and south
highway across the state that the
Sunnyside folks have been working
for for the past two years.
The road south from Sunnyside
goes through Mabton to Alderdale
On the Columbia. The three county
commissioners, engineer and auditor
OF Grant county were at the meeting
as we'll as the three county commiss-
toner's and engineer of Yakima county
and DR.. Robert Prior, commissioner
from this district in Benton county.
A delegation of White Bluffs folks,
r. r. Woods, D. S. Wilkinson, M. M.
Wiehl, F. A. English, Ira Hawley
and E. ]. O'Leary, also attended
the meeting. The stretches in this
road that the Sunnyside boosters
are most anxious to have improved
at this time are the five or six
miles from the Figure Two ranch to
Richmond ferry in Grant county and
the link leading from Richmond ferry
on this side Of the Columbia to
the Chet MCGEE cabin, in Benton
county
Another north and south highway
or which considerable work has been
done in the last four or five years,
follows the same route selected by
the Sunnyside folk to the Figure
Two ranch where it branches off and
comes east to the Wahluke ferry
and then south through White Bluffs
Hanford, Richland and Kennewick and
over the Horseheaven hills to the Ply
mouth -Umatilla ferry connecting up
with the Columbia River Highway.
1t is possible, because of the diver
sity of interests that they will serve,
that an effort will be made to secure
the Improvement of both of these
routes in one program.

ALLEE SAME BOX OR BASKET

Differences in rates on apples from
the Yakima Valley, whether shipped
in baskets, in bulk, or in boxes or
crates. were ordered removed in an
opinion handed down by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission this
week. The order also removes dis
elimination in rates as between boxes
and baskets for shipment of peaches,
pears and pluns.
At the present time these fruits
pay a SO per cent penalty unless
shipped in crates or in boxes. The
order eliminating the differentials
against basket and bulk shipment
applies on carloads, with $4,000
pound carload minimum for the softer
fruits and 10000 car minimum for
apples. The new rates will be effec-
tive not later than May rs.

Dan A. Scott, director of conserva.
ton and development, when he was

the remarkable success that most ol
the settlers on the project were
having in getting their places ir

Ritzville country, he is familiar with
all the problems confronting a new
settler and he complimented very
highly the grit and perseverance oi
the boys on this project.
