WONAN PRODUCER OF SHAKESPEARE
 PLANS ANOTHER LONDON PROJECT

LONDON-Miss Lillian Baylis. the woman who created "Old Vic" that famous theatre on the south bank of the Thames which is the London home of Shakespearean drama, has another similar pro ject in mind.
 She transformed tawdry least end" music hall into the only theatre in the United Kingdom where Shakespeare and grand op- era in English are regularly pro. duced.
 Now she has enlargek the "Old Vic" Morley college, which ori- ginally was part of it, has been transferred to other quarters and Miss Baylis has some $150,000 of the $309,000 she requires to make the old Sadler's Wells theatre on the north bank of the Thames what the "Old Vic" has become in the south.
 Miss Baylis is native London CT. Her father. Newton Baylis, was a isnger, her mother was both a singer and pianist and Miss Baylis' own childhood was devoted to music, mostly the vio- lin.
 When she was. still quite young she and her family went to South Africa with a theatrical company which went "brokev almost as soon as it landed in Durban. Her father decided to- stay. So in a hired bullock-cart they trekked all over the country. giving theatrical performances of fs their own. In many of the African towns there was no hall but the courthouse. Audiences were required to bring their own chairs end lights.
 For eight years Miss Baylis roughed it. When she came back to England she found her aunt very much over worked in the management of the "Old Vic" mu- sic hall and sshe became her sec retary. Miss Baylis association with the theatre has lasted for more than thirty years.
 She was the first theatre man ager in London to give full eve ning's program of motion pie lures. And they paid so well that for two years she was able to give symphony concerts with the proceeds from the films.
 Under her direction every known play of Shakespeare has been performed in the "Old vicv and she has gained an enthusias- tic following for Shakespeare iS the midst of London's slums.

WASHINGTON, March .2- When Col Charles A. Lindberghs Spirit of St. Louis" takes the place set aside for it in the na- tional museum here, it will bring up to date the collection of the Smithsonian Institution which de- picts the evolution of land, sea and air travel.
 From the primitive cart and canoe to the most modern trans Atlantic airplanes and ocean liners, the exhibits trace the de- velopment of transportation from the laborious conveyances or primitive peoples to modern com fort and speed.
 The airplane section includes models of such old timers as the wing Tapping monoplane design ed by Da vinci in 149O the Cayley convertible helicopter of 1S43 and the original Chanute and Lilien- thai gliders. There are also the historic Langley plane and air drome models, representing the work of that famous pioneer, and the 1908 Wright twin pusher bi plane, the first plane owned by the government.
 Colonel Lindbergh will add to the collection his first nonstop transatlantic plane. It will rest beneath the huge wing of the Fox ker monoplane T-2, first nonstop transcontinental flyer. Nearby is the hull of the flying boat NC-4. first plane to battle through dark ness and fog on trans-Atlanti'' flight.
 Other famous planes in this aviation hall of fame include the Chicago, flag plane of the first around-the-world flight; the am phibian San Francisco, one of the Pan,American goodwill flyers; the De Haviland trans-Alaska squad ron leader. and the army Curtiss racer, holder of the present worlds record for speed over |; 100-kilometer course and the American record for speed over 3 kilometers.
 The water transportation sec tion shows the evolution of water craft from Viking ship to Le- viathan.
 Development of the steamboat is shown by Col John Stevens twin screw ship of 1894. The boiler, engine and propellers of this first screw-propelled steam boat are in the collection.

NO VACATION FOR THESE

ALI the talk of summer holidays and
escape from the irksome grind of a
school room means little to 1899 high
school boys.
They are the students enrolled in
farming classes and they face sum-
mer of toll to complete their home
projects and win the credits needed
for future graduation. Scarcely a lad
in the farm classes has chosen a pro-
ject that can be completed before fall
and then it will be time to turn to
the books again.
There are no short cuts or clever
,vasions in the home work of school
boys Gcing farm work as a part of
their vocational training. Even if par
ents relented and offered to carry a
bit of the work to helm the lads the
school authorities would not permit it.
Supervisors in agricultural branches
of vocational training are on a twelve
north salary basis and all summer
long they will crop in on their youth
full proteges to see that the farm work
is being done according to rule. In
the fall they will come back to a.
ward grades.
State Supt. Josephine Corliss Pres
ton and Vocational Training Director
Hummell are enthusiastic over the
showing the farm classes are making
and the continued increase in enroll

THINNING IMPORTANT


Thinning is one of the important
Gu tural problems of fruit growers for
which definite rules to cover all con-
ditions will not work, according to O.
M. Morris, professor of horticulture.
Every orchard and every tree with
in the orchard becomes an individual
problem" he says. "close study Of
weather conditions and crop forecasts
may be reflected on the thinning OPP
crations When the country has full
crop, good prices can be expected on
ly for the highest quality fruit. Thin
ming heavily and early will bring the
best results under these conditions.
"The fullness of the fruit set will
determine to an appreciable extent
how the thinning operations will run.
When bees are numerous in the or
chard during the 9blossoning time,
the set will usually be much heavier
than when the bees are few in num-
Der Consequently more thinning will
be necessary.
'In a well-fertilized orchard heavy
tree growth and yigor will be found,
resulting in a heavy set of fruit, max
ing necessary more thorough thinning
than in those orchards where the soil
is, weaker. No matter what the other
factors are, thinning, if worthy of be-
ing done, is also worthy of thorough
ness and all worny fruit should be
saved or destroyed.

ONLY go DAYS LEFT TO
REGISTER FOR PRIMARY

Some time, during the next ten
weeks, thos. citizens who have not
yet registered for the iSeptember
primaries will either have to devote
half an hours time to the task or
forego the privilege of choosing be-
tween candidates for precinct, state
and congressional officers. Registra-
,ior!, Secretary of State j. Grant
Hinkle points out, closes for the
primaries on Aug. 81.
With possible voting strength
Of from 800 to 325, the White Bluffs
precinct ic far from having a COM
plete registration. Up to June IL
only 12o, or little more than one
third of the voters in the precinct,
had registered. The up-river country,
known as the Columbia precinct,
with a possible 40 votes, has only
three registered. The primary election
is on September IL and the registra-
ton books must be closed 20 days
before the primary. This will leave
only about so days for those who
have not registered to get their
names in the books in order to be
ab.e to vote at the primary. The
books are open again the day after
the primary election and will remain
open until 10 days before the general
election on November 6. This cleo
ton promises to be the most inter-
esting in years and even if only a
fair vote is to be cast in this part
of the county the voters are going
to have to show burst OF speed ir
registering.

MOST PROFITABLE VARIETIES

Winesap and Delicious apples are
proving the most profitable varieties
in the Yakima and Wenatchee valleys
according to a preliminary report or
an intensive economic survey just
published by the department. of farm
arrangement at the State College
The report covers 3o6 commercial or
chards IN Yakima and Chelan coun-
ties.
On the most profitable holdings
where it was found that 602 boxes
were produced per acre at cost OF
$1.Ol a box loaded on the car for
shipment, more than one-half the
yield on the 10 best farms was composed
of Delicious and Winesap, while only
eighty mere than one-third of the
yield on the 10 least profitable farms
was co made up.
A return of 339 boxes an acre at a
cost of $1.27 box loaded on board
of car was found in the most un-
profitable orchards studied. Neil
Johnson, farm economist of the State
College, has given his first years
findings in this preliminary report
When he has conta1ued the work for
three years he intends to publish his
final findings in bulletin fern.

KENNEWICk TO PLAY
HERE NEXT SUNDAY

After a two weeks layoff, due par
tally to naix-up in the league sche6-
ule, the White Bluffs base ball club
will be back in the picture again next
Sunday on the local grounds in a
game against Kennewick.
There are just three Sundays left
between now and the Fourth of Ju-
ly. when the, local team meets the
much touted outfit from Connell at
the celebration in Pasco, and a game
will be scheduled for each of those
Sundays against good clubs in order
to put the proper edge on the team
for the tangle with the wheat grow
ers from Connell. Kennewick will be
here next Sunday, another game here
the following Sunday, probably with
Pasco, and the third game on July l
with either Pasco or Kennewick at
Pasco SO that the boys may become
familiar with the Pasco grounds.
There is every indication at this
time that the locals will be able to
have their full strength on the field
for the big game on the fourth. II
has not been determined yet whether
Jack Blair or Williams will be on the
the firing line against Connell, but
both will be given good try-out u
the intervening games and the one
who shows up the best will get the
assignment. Both are good in the bo,
and both add considerable strength
to the infield when not pitching sc
which ever one it is that does th'
huy,ing, the lineup will be strong.
The boys are going to do their bes
on the Fourth and they would like tt
have good crowd Of fans out at thu
next two games in White Bluffs t.
give them all the encouragement pos
s;ble. The games should be good one
to watch becaus. both Kennewick an,
Pasco have good clubs.

CHERRY HARVEST OVER

The end of the week will about
see the end Of the cherry. harvest
in this valley. The cooler weathe,
curing the latter part of May and the
first week in June delayed the ripe.
ming Of the cherries with he result
that the season is about a week later
than usual. The tonnage was much
larger than was anticipated earlier
in the season and the price ranged
from 35c a pound for the first ship
nents to probably around 12c for
those that will be shipped the latter
part Of this week. These returnes will
average up with those received CIR
ing the past few years. The cherry
harvest will be on IN earnest in the
Yakima and .Wenatchee valleys mex
week. Growers in those valleys are
hoping for price around loc 4
