The Boomerang

Doubt still exists as to the mar
ner in which Australian natives ar
rived at such an effective weapon as
the boomerang. 1t is suggested the
knowledge was derived from observ-
ing the flight of a gum-leaf One of
the amusements of the younger set
OF natives today is to throw dry
leaves into the ascending smoke Of
the campfire and note their curious
spiral behaviors.
1t Is most interesting to observe a
boomerang thrower at work. With
careful step he advances slowly,
holding the weapon by either ex-
tremity, the Other end pointing to-
ward the enemy. Then he notes the
direction of the wind, observes any
object which may hinder its flight
and pausing for moment he hurts
it forward with all his strength. The
weapon first travels in a straight
earth, with its convex uppermost. 1t
makes circuit, rotating horizontally
all the time. If 1t misses it's objec-
tive 1t returns to the thrower. AT
times it Is sent Swimming close to the
ground. When nearly spent it rises
high in the air and returns to the
thrower. At other times it will circle
over the head of the thrower and
gradually descend in a spiral curve.
There is no limitation to it's action,
even in the case Of the same boomer
ang.
1t is a most effective weapon for
bringing down game in the air. And
its activities are most disconcerting
when thrown at a flock of ducks,
pigeons or cockatoos. In the hands
of an expert thrower. the weapon
sweeps wildly through the air; so
eccentric are its motions that it is
easy to imagine 1t endowed with life
as it rotates in full swoops in rapid
pursuit of the frightened birds.
The maximum forward distance
the returning boomerang can be
thrown is about $50 yards.-By Phil
lip Norman. in Adventure Magazine.

lAmpsoH GOES EAST

Manager Lee M. Lanpson Of the
Three Rivers Growers Association,
through whom number of White
Bluffs growers are marketing their ap-
pies this season, left Monday on an ex-
tended business trip through the east
and south. He will make special in
vestigation in the south regarding
markets for the California and Colo
rado bean growers and will seek an
extension of markets through the east
for this part of the Columbia river
valley.
1--WE shipned from Kennewick this
year about 10000 boxes Of asparagus.
The bulk of this tonnage was, OF course
in car lots. The local Northwest mark
cts were kept well supplied with ex-
press shipments. The increase in the
tonnage in sight for next year is con-
siderable, as we are now estimating
from the increased acreage coming in
to bearing, that we will handle from
l40,0 to 10000 boxes. This consid-
erable increase must all 60 in car lots,
as the local market can absorb only a
certain amount" said Mr.. Lampson
my trip this time is necessltated by
this increase in tonnage"
Sales contracts for Evergreen as
paragus; and the farJo'l, Northwest
cherries as well as the apples from this
district will be sought in the principal
cities of the East.

TAKES SECOND LOOK

G. ]. Morrison of Colville, accom-
panied by Mrs. Morrison and Mr.. and
Mrs. A. M. Sommer of Veradale, was
a visitor in White Bluffs from last Fri
day evening until Monday morning.
Mr.. Morrison was one of the three
members of the committee appointed
last spring to work out settlement
between the state and the settlers on
the tracts in the state land settlement
project. The other two members of the
committee were Arthur Semple and
Erie ]. Barnes, director of conserva-
tio-. and development. Mr.. Morrison
said his visit here at this time was to
see how the settlers were getting along
and how the settlement had worked
out. He had arranged with MIR. Sernple
to be here also, but telephone mes
sage from the latter Saturday noon
said he could not come as he was try
ing to salvage what he could Of his
crop that was badly damaged by the
freeze.
Mr.. Morrison said he found general
satisfaction among the settlers. He
said there was some complaint about
t!;eir not making much money but this,
he explained, was to be expected, as
many of the farms were newly devel-
oped and that farming all over the
country was not in a very prosperous
condition.
Mr.. Morrison, who is farmer in
the Colville country, likes this valley
and it is not improbable that he will
eventually locate here.

BENTON CouNTYExHIBIT
JUDGED MOST ARTISTIC

E. E. Hill, district horticulturalist,
is given credit for the assembling and
arrangement of Benton county's dis
play and booth at the state fair at Yak
ina last week that took first prize in
the central division of counties, second
prize in the state and was the winner
of the $50 prize for the most artistic
display.
Benton county's booth, with it's back
ground of sheaves of grain, middle
ground of colorful vegetables and
fruits and foreground of smaller but
no less interesting products, was ad-
judged the most artistic in the horti-
cultural building when the experts
finished their detailed survey. Lewis
county's booth, which featured grains
and grasses as well as its forest and
sea products, was graded "a points and
nosed out Benton for first place in the
state by the scant margin of one point.
Pacific county which featured cram
berries and marine products, took third
place with score of 81 points. What
com tied Pacific for third, Pierce COM
ing next with 81 and tying with its
competitor, King, and with Kittitas.
Spokane was marked 80, Clarke 80,
Grays Harbor 70, Whitman rs, Klici-
tat rs, Snohomish rs, Skagit "a, Kit
sap 72 and Clallam SO.
Benton county won the first prize
last year, making its showing this year
more remarkable.
This county also won first in the
Judging contests in the boys and girls
club work.

PRIEST RAPIDS LABELS
FOR SMALL SHIPPERS

Writing the Spokesman from Seattle,
Fred M. We'll, special agent for the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail-
road says:
1--WE have had a number of calls of
late from growers in the valley for
apple box labels in quantities ranging
from 1000 to 5000 and 1000. The plan
that has been practiced, as previously
published in your paper, has been that
the keystone of the label has been at
all times available and that for any
grower or shipper who would purchase
the minimum run of 1880 labels, the
Railway Company would pay for an
insert stone. This plan has worked out
very well SO far as the heavy growers
are concerned but has not seemed to
have suited the needs of the smaller
growers who desire to do their own
packing. Therefore, I have secured
permission to work out an attractive
stock label with blank space on the
bottom for the small grower and
packer to insert his name. have also
secured the consent of the Traung
Label & Lithograph Company to print
2S.C00 or $4,000 of these labels and
send them to the White Bluffs Spokes-
man and the Hanford Herald on con-
s;ignment to be sold on the following
basis:
1000, $3.50; 1000, $1,000; 5000.
$22.5o; 1000, $500; 5000, $500.
There will be two kinds of label,
extra fancy and fancy, and buyer
may purchase as many of each as he
chooses"
Traung & Company will have these
labels ready for delivery by October
10. and the Spokesman will print the
individual growers name on them for
a nominal sum.

DR.. STUNT SAYS

Cold weather is the time when extra
precaution should be taken to prevent
carbon monoxide gas poisoning in the
garages. Carbon monoxide gas is given
off by the exhaust of the automobile.
Such engine exhaust contains from 5
to 9 per cent of carbon monoxide and
it is known that concentration OF one
per cent in the air heathed will kill a
healthy adult in less than ten minutes,
one can readily understand how in
badly ventilated garage the air may
become so charged with gas as to be-
come dangerous in a few minutes.
The carbon monoxide itself has no
odor; it is heavier than air, therefore
it is more concentrated near the floor
it acts so quickly and with SO little
warning that the victim very quickly
loses consciousness where the gas is
in greater volume, and If he is not
quickly removed and promptly and
energetically treated death will quick
ly ensue.
When a man is overcome with the
gas get him into the fresh air as quick
ly as possible. If breathing, keep him
lying down and watch that he contin-
ues to breath--stimuate deep breath ns.
If breathing has stopped. start artificial
respiration Immediately; do not waste
a minute, as respiration is the only
way of getting the carbon monoxide
out of the blood and the life giving
oxygen in Keep the patient warm and
Sammon medical aid but do not leave
the patient.
In carbon monoxide poisoning, as
in most other things, prevention is
better than cure and so much simpler.
Never let your engine run in a closed
garage. Carelessness is just as fatal as
ignorance.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1926-10-01
HEAVY FROST SPURS
UP FRUIT HARVEST

Growers and fruit authorities are all
agreed that there was no damage to the
apple crop here as result of the heavy
frost on Thursday night of last week
With the exception of few Spitz
Delicious and Romes, all Of the apples
other than the Winesap crop had been
picked at the time of the frost.
The freeze, however, did affect the
stems, with the result that the apples
will soon loosen from the trees and
growers this week have full picking
crews in the orchards to get the apples
off before a big wind storm comes
along and blows them off. All other
work has been slowed up on this
account and it is believed that most of
the Wines here will be off the trees by
the end of next week.
In many of the other districts most
of the apple crop, including the Jona.
thanS, were still on the trees when the
freeze came. There are conflicting re-
ports as to the amount of damage done
to this variety and some of the others.
Some claim that the damage, particu-
larry in the Spokane district, will be
severe while others say that it will be
small.
The Winesap crop probably makes
up so per cent of the apple tonnage
produced in this valley. The Wines
here were better able to stand the
freeze when it came than probably at
any other time in their development.
Had the freeze come two weeks later,
when the apples were more nearly ma
tured, the damage might have been
severe.
Practically all Of the vegetable plants
were killed by the frost and there was
considerable damage done to the sweet
potato and Irish potato crops. Leaves
on most of the shade trees as we'll as
fruit trees and flowers and vines were
frozen.

TELL EN- THRU ADS

Every newspaper in Benton county
is this week carrying hall page ads for
the Moulton for Representative Club.
These ads will appear each week in
every paper until the close of the CAM
paign and through them the Club ex-
poets to show the voters of Benton
county why it is to their best interests
to reflect Moulton. No statement or
charge will appear in these ads, the
Club says, unless proof or documen-
tary evidence is behind it. The Club
further says that it expects to cover
the situation fully and it therefore be-
Eeves the information given out should
prove highly interesting to every voter.
