soc. Buffalo Bill, and so on. So it
is with grown people with only a
change Of characters.
In choosing good reading one
should first consider the author.
Whether or not he was educated,
his knowledge of his subject, his
own character and whether or not
he is considered classic. One should
be especially careful in choosing
books that have been put on the
market verv recently. These new
books are not well known and one
does not really know if they are
good or not. The best books are
undoubtedly those that have stood
the examination of the reading
public down through the centuries.
Then, of course, there is the very
popular and widespread argument
for cheap literature that one does
not want to pour through dense anr
intricately woven sentences when
he desires to read something for
pleasure, What a mistaken idea!
The literature of the old masters
is so much more interesting, ex-
citing. varied, colored and gener-
ally better than cheap literature
that one cannot compare the avn,
nor is it hard to read: There are
only few of the classics that need
study; the rest read along very
smoothly and develop as quickly
as an "Best Seller" and the best
part is that when you are through
reading one of these books you feel
just little more educated than
before.

Eastern Washington Farmers Face
Task of Filling q Train $50
Miles Long

washington First Service) -
The task of furnishing the world
with its "apple-a-day" has spurred
the growers of Washington, lead
ing state in the production of COM
mercial apples, to the point Of
shipping between 40-50,000 refrig-
orator cars per year, agricultural
reports show.
By translating statistics for the
apple harvest and its carriers, it is
pointed out that a freight train,
bearing the annual crop Of apples,
would extend between $50 and 300
miles, nearly the entire width of
the state. The market for this
Washington agricultural product
extends to the four corners of the
earth and, when added to the an
nual revenue from soft fruit for
the state, amounts to a total Of
more than forty million dollars a
year.
Four Varieties Lead
The four principal varieties
grown in Washington are Wine
sap, Jonathan, Rome Beauty and
Delicious. The form of the Winsap
is usually roundish, conical and
truncate at the base; the skin is
medium in thickness, tough, glossy
smooth, bright and deep red. The
flesh is yellow, very firm, crisp
and juicy. Winesaps are good keep
ers and are at their best in March,
April or May. The Jonathan, the
beautiful red apple of early fall, is
very inviting for fall and winter
eating. The Rome Beauty is a pop
ular variety, being an early and
bearer and perhaps the
best baking apple that has been
produced commercially. The con-
season for Rome Beauties
extends from November to April.
The Delicious, new variety, has !
reached its highest perfection with
Eastern Washington growers, and |
is all that the name implies, es-
pecially in flavor and qaulity.

learned while at the conference
last week that Professor Carver
could not change dates however
and so will be unable to be with us

that time. It is now planned that

the program. We would be glad to

SARGON'S FAME
SPREADS OVER
ENTIRE WORLD
People of This Country Sending
Famous Medicine to Relatives
and Friends in England, Scot
land, Ireland, France, Canal
Zone and Many Other Lands.

If you had found medicine that |
was of such benefit to you that
you would go to the trouble OF
sending it to relatives and friends
in distant countries, you would
have to be convinced in your own
mind that it possessed real merit,
wouldn't you?
That's just what thousands of
people throughout the United
States have been doing with Sar-
gon:
From all over America and
wherever Sargon has been intro
duced, thousands of letters have
been received from grateful users
telling of the gratifying results
that have been accomplished by
this celebrated medicine.
Thousands Express Gratitude
On November 9th, a letter dat
ed November 23rd, was received
at the Sargon offices advising that
in one week one drug firm alone
had received orders for Sargon to
be shipped to Cavite, Philippine
Islands; Coca-Solo, Canal Zone;
Belebrook, Ireland; and Paris,
France.
Only recently well-known resi-
dent Of Denver, Colorado, who had
been restored to health by Sargon
sent a full treatment to London,
England, to his sister, who is the
wife Of an executive Of one of the
greatest retail drug firms in the
British Empire.
During the past month there ap-
peared in the Toronto papers the
statement of a well-known World
War veteran whose health had
been greatly impaired while in the
service, who stated among other
things, that he owed his restora-
ton to health to two bottles of
Sargon sent him by friend in
Minneapolis.
Letters Received from the
Northwest
From the Northwest, many let
tiers of this kind have been re-
ceived advising that users of Sar-
gon are sending it to relatives
back in their old countries of Nor
way and Sweden.
Many such letters and endorse
ments have been received from men
of prominence, including former
governors, business and profess
sional men, mayors, state and
county officers, and even Minis
tiers Of the Gospel have deemed
it their duty to come forward and
tell what Sargon has done for
them.
These are only a few of thous-
ands of such cases and not a day
nor week passes that does not
bring hundreds of statements from
the people concerning the good
this medicine is doing and reciting
case after case that would convince
the most skeptical.
Sargon's fame is built on act
ual results-not empty promises,
and only those who have put it to
the test know its real powers.
/ Sargon's aim is not mere tenn.
porary relief, but new and abund-
ant health. No wonder it is now
! called the medicine with a million
friends.

POULTRY SCHOOL POSTPONED

The two-day poultry school to
be held in Prosser, January II and
10, has been postponed to Friday
and Saturday, January 81 and
February /. This change was made
necessary because of the inability
Of Cline to be with us on the 18th.
We hope that all arrangements
have now been made as far as Mr..
CIne's time is concerned, so that
there need be no further change
in dates.
Please keep the change in dates
in mind. This is probably the only
poultry school which will be held
in the county this winter.

Friday afternoon the new stage
in the high school auditorium was
dedicated by a Freshman pro
gram.
The first feature of the program
was violin solo "Oyer the Waves
by Mary Puderbaugh. She was ac-
companied on the piano by Lucy
Helm.
The next number was dedica-
ton speech by John Vibber who
expounded at length on the differ
ent points of merit in the new
stage. He also told us Of it's be-
ing built by Mr.. Barbee and his
"hammer throwers, saw-slingers,
and chisel-champions."
This was followed by a short
reading by Marjorie Minert per-
tanning to the different interest
ing things one noticed on glancing
around the class-rooms.
The closing number was read
ing from Booth Tarkington's "Pen-
rod by Viola Reignier.
The new stage extends almost
across the front of the auditorium
and is as high as the desks, thus
affording clear view to everyone
in the room. 1t may be taken down
and moved with very little work.
Every two weeks one class will
put on skit or program before
the assembly. If they are all as
much enjoyed as the first one was,
the stage will certainly prove it
self to be worthwhile work.
