Visitors from the White Bluffs
Horticultural Exchange were callers
here one day this week. While here,
they picked out several apples CLASH
Tying them as Fancys, and were quite
surprised when informed that they
were taken from a Fancy bin.
Mrs. Codding was off duty Satur-
day when she took Burton and Bobby

moved. They all three returned home
Sunday.
Some of the girls are just begin

News is scarce this week. Too
many little apples, to keep us busy,
I guess.
If the sorters and packers keep on
bringing things to eat, we won't be
able to keep on reducing but it sure
does help out on grocery bills. Mrs.
Leander's treat Of pumpkin pie surely
was "scrumptious."
One of our packers got so very
interested in her work this week that
she forgot to eat her dinner. Quite
unusual.
Mrs. Dawson and Verna Lutzen-
hiser spent Saturday in Yakima and
Ellensburg. Mrs, Gilhuly helped out
during their absence. Esther is work

WAREHOUSE CHAT
E. ]. O'LAREY

There was quite commotion among
the sorters short time ago when
Mrs. Anglin lost a treasured piece of
gum. A thorough search was made
and it is. believed that it has been re-
trieved. Why else that peaceful ex-
preston?
Miss Ruth Paschen of San Fran
cisco visited the warehouse Sunday
and talked with all of her old friends.
Poor old sorting machine! Its get
ting tired of over work and overtime.
Saturday morning it went on strike
and we enjoyed days rest at home.
There was a thorn in this unexpect-
ed bouquet, however, for we had to
labor on Sunday
And then again, Wednesday, when
the power was off, we all sat around
the stove for about an hour and
half. That lively wind was to blame.
Our rest would have been pleasanter
if we had not all been wondering if
the windows at home had been closed.
Mr.. Hill treated us to peanuts Tues
day and you should have seen Rhoda
Evett fill her pockets! Rhoda, you
know, is a poetess. 1t was she who
wrote the following about GER

Mr.. Hill has an interesting bit of
information for us. He says that on
Monday afternoon for about five min
utes not one word was spoken by any
of the sorters! Are they trying to
break a record?

turned to her home in Yakima Sun

Ballad of the Fair Stamper

Twas the day before Tuesday
And all through the house
The crews were all working
AS still as a mouse-(?)
When down toward the Edder
There arose such a clatter
The packers looked up
To see what was the matter
The lidder was standing
And tearing his hair
And waving his arms
In awful despair.
For his stamper, in a moment
Of rare alteration
Had mixed all the numbers
In conglomeration.
What caused this great disturbance;
The stamper,s heart to futter;;
Boxes to be misnumbered,
And Dan to cuss and mutter3
The warehouse detectives
The matter did ferret!
Twas thus they reported
And thus you shall hear it.
Two handsome young sheiks
Who from Toppenish hight,
Had unwittingly paused
In the fair stamper's sight.
(And one mas tall and handsome,
And one was short and fat;
The tall one had a cute rnoustdche
Now, doubtless, that ,Das hotl)
1t was then up to Irvie
To lure them away
Which he did at once, pronto,
And thus saved the day.

Mr.. Lindstrom goes or 20 explain that though
Hollywood may maintain its STAR system, no
such thing exists under the Government movie

rather than the name of given actor, for the
simple reason that all our films have certain

the public to lose sight Of that very important
consideration. Then again, were we to give too

ITALY, which has been one Of the wonders
OF the postwar world because Of It's rapid
and energetic hunt for stability, Il rapidly be-
coming q machine nation. With her tremend-
Gus capacities for water power, her turn to ma
chineTy holds great pOtentialities for future
output.
As q result of wartime stimulus, department
Of commerce report points out, Italy emerged
at the close Of the conflict with greatly ex-
banded mechanical industry, and soon after
ward there was active building Of new textile,
paper and other machine-using plants, Is wen
as an expansion Of productive capacity IN other
branches Of industry. While figures for indus
trial output In Italy during recent years are
not available, the growth I'm machinery indus
tries is indicated by the fact that the paid-up
capital Of nine Of the leading corporations using
or making Industrial machinery IN 1877 was
more than thre times the 1913 figures
A striking characteristic Of italian manufac-
turing organizations, according to the report, Is
the relatively small scale on which they operate
An industrial census In 1927 covered more than
zoo, 600 separate organizations and Of these less
than 5000 employed more than 100 workers
each. OF these larger industrial units, approxi-
mately half were IN four Of the chief machine

Italian machine production is 50 far advanced,
1t Is pointed out, that In certain lines, such as
railroad cars and locomotives, it may be said
to be self-sufncing. italian plants are ade-
Quately equipped for the production Of most
heavy electrical machinery and hydraulic equip
ment. Probably, too, the country is able to sup
ply most Of its requirements for certain types
Of pumps and for ordinary Woodworking ma
chimes adapted to wide varieties of work. There
il comparatively little manufacture Of ma
chineFy for special purposes designed for high
production rates, and plants requiring equip
ment Of this nature usually have to obtain it
abroad.
Italian machine establishments produce items
Of q widely diverse character, the report shows
This Is due 70 the fact that for any one class
Of machines the italian demand Is 50 restricted
and competition 50 keen that few establishments
confne themselves to the production Of special
lied lines
Referring TO machinery imports into italy,
the report shows that since the war the tendency
has been downward, although this situation
was altered in the latter part Of 1928 when
general economic revival took place. This de-
velopment Is indicated in the fact that although
imports of industrial machinery fell from $1,000
metric tons for the first nine months Of 1925 to
$4,000 tons for the same period in 1877, such
shipments rose to approximately 10000 tons In
the corresponding period Of 1928. Germany Is

As for the Governments scenario writer's.
there are many and sundry Of them, Mr..
Iindstrom says. He himself, and the ''big boss"
Mr.. Evans, have written quite a few, though
the majority are the project Of the Joint eff
forts Of the motion picture men and various
officials Of the different bureaus Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, such as the Forest Serv-
ice, the Bureau Of Home Economics, and the
Bureau Of Plant Industry. In general, the sit
uataon Is that ideas originate from inquiries
broadcast at stated intervals among users OF the
nlms throughout the country as to what sub
jects are most IN demand. Moreover, once q
year the movie executives ask extension d.
