ure is true. but the fact remains that
the small team which comes to a field
with a squad of perhaps twenty.odd
playerS--a wide margin in the way of
proficiency separating the regulars
and the suhStitutcS--iS compelled in
the course of a game to meet three
and -four elevenS representing the
ma jor outfit. This is unfair on the
face. and if the little fellows are be
ginning TO ask where they get off, the
attitude is perfectly easy to under
stand.

not in the know. His 596 set was
the second best of the evening, a set

Elicit, though, did not surprise
those IN close touch with the game.
For some seasons he has beeen slam

His yearly averages have ranged from
113 TO 115. figures that make him
one of the ranking bowlers of Wash

Elicit is blessed with a splendid
temperament that fits him admirably
for keen competition. Cool as an
iceberg under fire he is able 20 step
out and get his counts with startling
regularity. a poor break now and
then never seems to throw him off
his stride to any extent.
Being one of these modest unas-
suming chaps, he is not a colorful
bowler and so has escaped much
public attention. But he cannot hide
his light under a bushel after his
duckpinning last Saturday.
Al Work is a bowler with a fight
ing heart. Opponents leads never be

likely to now. but picking up 53 pins
in five games with such q bowler

The Problem Of Peace
GEORGE SANDS JOHNSON

Member of Painters Local Union No 36s Washington G.
The GROWING glory of the world is peace
All else, in contrast, seems like childish play
Each soon outgrown as careless moments cease
And age takes up stern tasks of yesterday
While life repeats the role of broil and dn
Which must be faced in brave pursuit of peace
That haunts the earth with phantoms of grim sing
The Fates passed on to others as lease;
STILL the great problem fingers and revolves
In beaten circles round the brain and mind.
While Wisdom deeply delves but vaguely solves
The vast enigma of distraught mankind
Until the dawn of human darkness CLEAN,
I'LL stale and won-out customs pass away,
Man can not waken from his restless dream,
And break the nightmare that he rides TODAY.

From the time he left Vashon is
land until we reached the famous
Payette valley of Idaao. we saw
nohing that could compare with
The neighborhood we left, nor
with the valley we visited. The
Payette valley is the leading fruit
section of that state. The fruit
growers are progressive in their
methods, and handle the fruit
business as efficiently as the
Vashon poultrylnen handle the
white leghorn hen. There is plen-
~ Of water there with which to
irrigate and the trees are break
ing down with perfectly grown
and highly colored apples. iona.

Dies are the two leading varieties
and grow to perfection there But
here Is this difference between
he Vashon poultrymen and the
payette valley applemen The
poultrymen find a ready market
ior their egg and chix, while the
2ayette apple growers are hope
essly cropping in the dark for some

were being Offered a guaranty Of
10 cents per box for Jonathan

0%5 for selling charge. After all
reductions are made this would
net the grower around 20 cents a
box, or about $40. per ton for their
fruit. II costs more than that 10
