DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

ton which hope you win an.
sWer for me. The question is in
regard to stationery
Does the color of writing paper
signify any special meaning or
convey any message? Ii so, will
you tell me what the various
colors mean?
Does the stamp II put in any
special space or position carry
with 1t meaning?
] shall appreciate any answer
that you give me. MISS ". s. A.
Neither the color of writing
paper nor the placing of stamps
has any significance for sensible
folks. Any person who tried to
convey love message by tints of
paper or placing OF stamps would
be too silly to be worthy of notice.

dent of the club who also introduced
The speakers. Tindall was the first
sneaker and he told the crowd he
thought he was best fitted for the Of
flee because of his long experience as

lent champion of Seattle's public u
'ilities and believed in their fullest
development. Tindall devoted most
IF his speech to explaining the con-
templated development of the Skag-
it dam. He told the colored voters
he was well kncwn to them and that
they could depend on him for a
square deal in every way.
Frank Edwards told the crowd he
was business man and proposed to
give Seattle a business administra-
ton if elected mayor. 81 don't be-
lieve in wide open town but / do
believe Seattle should be the recrea-
ton centre for the workers from the
small towns nearby. Edwards said
Seattle should be made the metropo-
lis of the Northwest and recognized
as the business, financial, education
al and recreational centre of the
Pacific Northwest. 81 do not feel the
colored citizens Of Seattle have re-
ceived square deal under former
administrations. If | am elected
mayor you can depend on me giving
YOU a better break than you ever
had. You are entitled to it and if /
am elected mayor, I'll see that you
, get it." Edwards told the crowd he

ored citizen registered and told the
club he would support their program
in every way. p. Frazier was intro
duced and he told the crowd he was
going to use his efforts in helping the
club select the best man for mayor
that would give colored citizens the
same recognition given other groups.
We haven't been getting our proper
tional share of representation in the
affairs of this city and I'm going to
support the man that'll promise to
colored citizens their just represen-
tation. Mrs. Gus Brown was intro
iuced as one of the leaders of the
Women's Civic and Political Alliance.
Mrs. Brown said she did not believe
woman fitted to be mayor of a
city as large as Seattle. She said
it was a mans job and she would
support the club in helping elect a
man suitable for the job of mayor.
I want to see Seattle prosperous for
I depend on my husband for liv-
ing. If he has work I'll have plenty.
If he is out of work it makes it
hard on me. believe it takes man
as mayor to make Seattle prosperous.
The chairman announced meetings
would be held every two weeks until
the election was over. The club
voted to attend the Republican Lin
coin Day banquet.

tion. All phases of the cantaloupe

tatives of the extension divisions and

the conference, DR.. f. B. Bomberger,
director of the marketing bureau, had
the following to say:
"In the course Of a general survey
which we have been making of the
cantaloupe industry on the Del-Mar
Va Peninsula, questions have been
raised concerning the suitability Of
certain widely grown varieties from
the standpoint Of production, grading
and packing; methods of production
including fertilization and disease
control; and finally, methods Of dis
tribution.
correspondence and interviews
with growers, dealers, extension
agents and specialists and marketing
officials have developed a widespread
interest in the calling of the confer
ence to consider the problems just
enumerated, and others connected
with the cantaloupe industry. The
program for the conference will pro-
vide for a discussion Of every phase
Of the cantaloupe industry as it evists
on the shore. Every effort will be
made to find out the good and bad
features Of present practices in pro-
duction and distribution, with view
to the formulation Of a program of
improved practice that can be adopted
with profit by the cantaloupe growers
Of the Peninsula
It is expected, according to DR..
