To date the district attorney has made no
statement nor has he taken action relative to the
fact that in purchasing Benewah Creamery but
ter, Spokane housewives were not receiving full
weight under Federal and State Laws.
Butter men of Spokane kept up a continuous
pilgrimage to the Spokane Woman Office last
Friday morning to express their appreciation of
the dearlessness with which the expose was
made.
Were tactics followed by Benewah Creamery
allowed to continue, a leading creamery man
said, nothing but ruin was ahead OF the butter
man playing the game within the law. We have
been importuned again and again and again to
sell our product so that the markets might COM

Spokane Woman has rendered the housewives
of the community q great service in protecting
their interests, and the buttermen take heart at
the demand for fair play which your paper

ed by the ~airplane just as the Arctic has been
conquered. He has also purchased for the ven
ture an iron ~freighter, the Zealand. The Chelsea
will be used mainly to transport the supplies.
After leaving New Zealand, Byrd will estab-
fish a base on the Ross Ice Barrier, about 1000
miles from the pole. A self-supporting settle
will be sent back to New Zealand to prevent the
loss of her by crushing in the ice. Byrd will
establish bases from the Barrier to the Pole, 100
miles apart from each other, to be used in case
of emergency.

When the bases have been laid, Byrd will fly
toward the Pole in his tri-motored monoplane
named after Floyd Bennett.
The South Pole is on a plateau about two
miles high, which makes it very difficult for an
aviator as the air is very rare, and the landing
speed must therefore be very great. Thus, spec
ial care must be taken to preserve the landing
skis of the plane, the establishment of which
would make it difficult, if not impossible, for the
flying party to return to the base.
The trip will also be devoted to scientific
study, with a special mapping camera used to
chart the regions explored.

HENDRICKS SAYS
| CARDS Will WIN
MANAGER Of Reds Picks St. Louis
YiCtors in Five Games
BY JACK HENDRICKS
Manager OF the Cincinnati Reds

Written for the United Press
New York, Oct. 4-The st. Louis
Cardinals have great ball club
and should win the world series
perhaps In five games.
1t would not surprise me to see
them take four out of five from the
New York Yankees who are most
unfortunately crippled by injuries.
Naturally. I am National league
fan. MY heart and interest are In
the circuit, but this year l can see
nothing except the prospect OF a
clean cut, convincing victory over
the American league champions.
My club met the Cardinals %
times this year. and We know how
good they are. Pitching, always the
most important factor In world
series, favors St. Louis by as much
as two to one, should say.
There is no use in belittling Ahe
possibility OF Yankee batting ram
page, and when 1t comes 1t is one
of the hardest things in baseball to
stop. think, however. that the
Cardinals have just what Is needed
to stop 1t this year, even ii 1t shows
up.
The chances Of the Yankees put
ting their full offensive strength in
to the field are slight indeed. On
the other hand. the Cardinals will
have the team which fought its
way to the top in one Of the great
eat OF National league pennant
races, and had the stuff to stay
there.
Alexander. Haines Sherde'. Rhem
and Mitchell, after what they show
ed this season. should be able TO
tie the weakened Yankees into
knots.
A st. Louis victory seems inevi-
table In Ave games at the outside
is what ! look for.
