ASTOUNDING new
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY

According to all tile scientific dats
and information, the homing instinc,
is possessed only by animate things
human beings, dogs, cats. horses
pigeons, etc. Wonderful tales have
been told of animals having been re-
moved great distances from their
domiciles overcoming almost insur-
mountable obstacles and arriving safe
and sound back home. But that in
stinct has never been credited to in
animate things like machines. Yet a
case in point occurred in this valley
last week that threatens to upset all
scientific theory
Some little time before his removal
to Toppenish few weeks ago, Arlie
Ward, who lived on ranch between
White Bluffs and Hanford, acted as
local agent for the Maytag washing
machine. When he was about ready
to go, he sent word to the company
that he was leaving FIVE new Maytag
machines in the house for them.
Several days later when Denzil Mock,
who had been authorized by the com
pany to take charge of the machines,
went to get them, he found only four
ne IIIIlCuldlcly HAOlIiCu tLc SoAii-
pany that one was missing and this
information was passed on to Sheriff
James Shepherd. The sheriff paid
visit to this valley last Friday to see
if he could find any trace of the wan
dering machine but left without ap-
parently finding any clew The
purpose of his visit, however, per-
colated around and must have reach
ed the wanderer for some time Sat-
urday night it crawled back home to
take its place beside the other four:
Much of the paint had been worn Oft
and there were other evidences of
wild time and hard usage. How it
reached its home is still mystery.
Whether it came back under its own
power or otherwise has not been
determined but the case would seem
to be one to attract the interest OF
all scientifically inclined persons.

WHO FIXES The
PRICE OF APPLES?

Growers generally are inclined tc
attribute in measure the compare
lively low price of apples the las,
four or five years, to marketing agen.
cies. They say that these dealers
and marketing agencies seldom have
anything invested in the fruit and, in
the deals. are more interested in
making sales SO that they can collect
their commission than they are in try
ing to get good prices. There un-
dcubtedly is some merit in this con-
tention but the dealers are not alto
gether to blame for the low prices,
tor the growers also horn in once in
awhile.
Listen to this advertisement that
appeared in last weeks Bellevue Iowa
Herald: Don't be afraid of a search
ty of apples. have bought two cars
OF Idaho apples containing 1900 to
400 bushels. These apples were
purchased from frst-hand. Farmers
picked them and packed them in
bushel baskets. They must contain
48 pounds, full basket. Varieties are
Jonathans, Roman Beauty, Winesap
and Delicious. They will not be very
high; from $500 to $3.50. LOUIS
SPIRO."
Mr.. Spiro is retail merchant in
Bellevue, which city is also the form
er home of F. J. Bonn of White
Bluffs.
The freight rate on apples from
Idaho to Iowa. in car lots, is rs cents
per box. The average retail dealers
profit is about 40 cents per box.
These two items total $1.15, and $1.15
subtracted from $500 and $3.50, the
advertised sale price to consumer,
leaves IS cents and $1.35 per basket
for the grower. The apples were
probably packed orchard run but they
surely had to be sorted and either
wiped or washed. The empty baskets
cost about 20 cents and the sorting,
wip:ng or washing, and loading charge
would probably add another 10 cents
per basket, making 30 cents basket
on board the cars.
Also note that Mr.. Spiro says he
bought direct from the grower and
that the baskets must contain 48
pounds Of apples.
The apples in packed boxes aver
age about 40 pounds This means that
the consumer gets one-ffth more ap-
pies in baskets than in the packed
boxes.
If the Idaho growers can sell their
apples at a profit at these prices,
especially in a short crop year like
This one, they must have rome cheaper
method of raising them than we have
in this district. j. would also be in
to know just how much such
sales have to do in fixing prices in
consuming centers.

DERBY FLIERS TO STOP
IN PASCO next TUESDAY

Pasco has been designated as ar
enforced stopping place for the
planes entered in the Spokane.
Portland airpDane race to be flown
next Tuesday. All planes of the
class "B" division will stop at
Pasco for 80 minutes to take on
gas and prepare for the last leg of
the race to Portland. Prizes total
ling $4,000 have been put up by
Portland men interested in avia-
tion and in pushing Portland as an
aviation center. The planes en-
tered in the "a" division will not
stop at Pasco but are being routed
over the city and willsprobably be
seen.
The race for the "B" planes will
start at eleven q. m. Tuesday and
the ships will be started at one
minute intervals. They will be
timed with a stopwatch as they
touch ground at Pasco and will be
allowed to stay just 80 minutes
and then the time will again be on.
Actual flying time from starting to
flying over the finishsline at Port
land with the half hour stop at
Pasco, will determine the winner.
In the "B" division it is esti-
mated that there will be anywhere
from Is to 80 planes. including
large variety of models of the COM
mercial type and that they will
start arriving in Pasco shortly af-
vernoon.
Pasco is planning on entertain
ing a large crowd of out-of- town
visitors that day. The CONNER
cial Club of that city, has asked the
White Bluffs Band to- play and it is
probable that many from this val
lev will be there to see the show.

GOOD BYE, JACK!

The announcer said that there
were between 100000 and Ito, ,O0O
people in the big ampitheatre in
Chicago Thursday evening to see
Jack Dempsey in his sensational
attempt to recapture the heavy.
weight crown from Gene Tunney
But there was an estimated audi
ence Of around $4,000, 900 who got
probably just as big thrill while
sitting in front of their radio re.
ceiving sets and watching the fight
through the eyes Of the announcer
whose m'c,ophone was located just
few feet from the ring. This
opportunity for the larger audience
was made possible through hook
up of fifty-six of the largest broad
casting stations in the country.
Every radio set in White Bluffs
was working that evening. Fred
Gilhuly, with a Holster set in. his
car hooked onto temporary aerial,
entertained between SO and rs fans
out at the ditch, away from the
noise in town. The crowd that
listened to the returns over the
Atwater Kent set at the drug
store filled the room and over.
flowed onto the sidewalk, while
the owners of practically every set
in the community entertained
many neighbors and friends that
evening.
Not many people, locally, want
ed Tunney to lose, but the ghost
of the Dempsey Of Toledo made
them doubtful that the champion
could repeat his performance of a
year ago at Philadelphia. Betting
here. however, was comparatively
light, Scotty Webb probably hav-
ing the most accurate check ON the.
amount wagercd.
z 1t was a whale of fight, full of
thrills and with the result in
doubt up to the eighth round.

Jerome Schaffer whose death by

During his stay in Yakinas MI
Schaffer, at the request Of some OF the
members of the local Woman's Club,
came ever to White Bluffs to fill in a
missing num,e.- in the lyceum course,
cancelled because the performers were
unable to get here from Kennewick,
due to stormy weather and bad roads.
His entertainment at Liberty hall
that evening has been pronounced the
hest show ever given in White Bluffs.
The weather that winter was pa''-
ticularly bad and on the day he was
advertised to be here there was a
regular blizzard raging. The roads at
that time were also far from what they
are today Knowing how badly he was
needed. hcwevo., Mr.. Schaffer braved
the storm and with criver finally got
a car through, being several hours on
the road and arriving only tew
minutes before he was due to appear
