Eleanor Jesberger

The selection of the queen will
be by votes as it has been in the
past. But the cash awards will de-
pend entirely upon the activity OF
the candidate and her friends. A
campaign for the sale of life mem
iberships in the Fair Association
is being started, and the sale OF
these memberships will be the
chief activity of the candidates.
Every family in the entire COM
munity is expected to take at
least one life membership, and the
money so secured will be used for
nothing but improvements on the
fair grounds. The cash premiums
offered for the displays and the
operating expenses will be taken
care of by other methods.
The young ladies who have been
nominated will be interviewed
shortly by the committee in charge
of this work and they will be in
structed as to the value of the
various tickets, votes, etc. The es-
pecial activity will be, as stated
above, the sale of the life member
ships.
The memberships will entitle the
holder thereof to free admittance
to the fair grounds for life. The
memberships are not transfer.

much talking, to say nothing of
charging" and appealing" to be
dcne 80 there. is no telling what
the political gods will grind out
IN the next few weeks.
On the republican side, the big
campaign will be to weaken Mr..
Hartley, who is always running
near to peak, rather than to pro-
mote Mr.. French, who admittedly
does not lend himself to a noisy
%allyhoo." 1t is possible, too, that
Nj. Hartley will find himself very
toubled, if not handicapped, by
two recent developments.
For instance, in Seattle, where
the governor has been picking up,
there is still considerable resent
ment because Highway Engineer
Humes is said to have been neg
lectful in picking site and MAX
ing plans for the Stone Way
bridge, for which the last legisla-
surs provided 100000. Now there
hsprcspect of the money revert
ing, causing criticism with dis
position to blame Mr.. Hartley.
Then, again, it is apparent that
some Of the governors opponents
are planning to make capital out
q the charges of cruelty" and
fatal beatings" in the treatment
q patients at the Northern Wash
ngton hospital for insane at Sc
dro Woolley. It was found by a
ecroners jury that one patient,
sohn Hesford, 55, died from the
elects Of "an 'unmerciful beating"
nd the verdict was followed by
other changes of cruelty and mis-
Reatment. The governor ordered
thoro investigation, naming
ssoge Grady of Yakima to make
n independent" probe, and en-
pnasized that proof of cruelty or
neglect would mean punishment
l0r the guilty.

One night she wanted to go to theater.
She made inquiries and found that it
would take so long to unravel red tape
and secure permission to leave her
patient that the performance would be
over So she went to the King and
asked for the night off. His majesty
laughed and told her to go. In every
way possible, she said. he was consid-
crate of those attending him.
Miss Tremaine proudly wears dia-
mond brooch, the gift of his majesty.
The King bestowed on her the Medal
of the Victorian Order, the Order of
the Red Cross and other decorations.
Miss Tremaine has many stories of
her experience in the royal household.
She found that in the family circle
formalities disappeared. She discover
ed that the Prince of Wales and the
Duke of York were like any other
young boys. They scufiled like any other
brothers. The Duke of York even
