Friends Mourn Passing
Of Mrs. j. G. smoots
THE War OF 1917
(By a Friend)

Mrs. Marie Frances Shoots was
born in Filler, Idaho, February 81 1909
and passed away August l6, 1881, aged
% years, S month and Is days. Or
February 81. 1926, she was united In
holy wedlock to Jesse Clyde Shoots
of this place, and to this union was
born one daughter, Winona Louise
She leaves to mourn her departure
her husband and daughter, her IA
ther and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. M. E
Houk, a sister, Mrs. E. j. Soden, anc
a brother Elmer Houk.
Marie had lived in White Bluffs
nearly all her life, having come here
with her parents from Idaho wher
only two and half years old. She
attended both grade and high schoo
here, being a member of the class that
graduated in 1926 and was one of the
high school debating team in the yeal
1886. She was an earnest church
worker, being secretary and treasurer
of the Presbyterian Sunday school fol
several years. and trustee of the
church at the time of her death. She
was also president of the Ladies Aid
having resigned this post, however
when she became too ill to continue
in the work. She also took an active
interest in social affairs.
Her life was very commendable, mas
much as in her activities in Christian
service she was well trained to as
sumo the responsibilities placed upon
her and to carry them through. From
childhood she attended Christian wor-
ship here and through her illness he1
longing desire was to return here and
be of service to her fellowmen.
When she became more closely &C
quainted with Jesus, her Saviour, her
request was to have those who were
praying for her to ask God to take
her to be with Him. Through this
prayer she booked to Him who died for
her soul, and said, Jesus, take me
I am ready to go" Her testimony to
answered prayer was that Jesus told
her He was coming to take her.
Funeral services held from the Pres
byterian church Wednesday afternoon
were conducted by M. E. Moser and
Henry Peterson of Spokane and the
concourse of sorrowing friends and
the many floral tributes bore witness
to the esteem in which the memory of
this young and earnest life was held

New Potato
Grade Rules
> Are Adopted
PROPER GRADING AND MARKING
ARE PRINCIPAL POINTS
EMPHASIZED

New potato grades for 1881 were
adopted at meeting held in Yakima,
August 10, at the state potato grade
and pack meeting.
The same rules that governed the
u. s. No. and No. 2 grades were again
adopted and the Washington Combin-
alton, known also as Washington Com
mercial grade, was changed from a
1926 to $3.50 basis. The percentage
of No. potatoes in the bag need not
be marked on the package, but it is
mandatory that not less than so per
cent be in this grade. A tolerance OF
6 per cent, inclusive of per cent for
soft rot, is allowed in the No. 2 po-
tatoes going into the combination or
commercial grade.
The maximum percentage of No. l
potatoes to be shown on the certifi-
cate is to be 10 per cent.
Under the heading of Marking Re-
quirements, the new rules provide that
when the potatoes are packed in con-
tanners of 100 pounds or more, such
containers shall be branded, marked,
labeled or stenciled in plain and
legible manner in blue, black, red Or
green, with the words, "U. S. No.
Washington Potatoes, "U. S. No. 2
Washington Potatoes Washington
Combination, Bakers, or "Culls'',
whichever the case may be, in two
inch or larger block type letters. Pro-
vided that on smaller containers the
size of the letters may be more nearly
in proportion to the size of the con-
tanners. And provided further, that no
letters smaller than one and one-half
inch block type shall be used on jute
bags, and one inch block type letters
shall be the minimum size used on
boxes, crates, cartons, paper or cot
ton bags
Shipment of Gull potatoes will not
be permitted in packages exce4siing Is
pounds in weight. The words "Cull
Potatoes" in two inch block type let-
tiers on both sides of the container,
and in smaller letters with the name
and address of the shipper and the
net weight. No other markings will
be permitted. Gull potatoes must be
retailed in the original containers.
The regulations pertaining to culls
was considered as an emergency mea-
sure and went into effect August Is.
The meeting adopted resolution
permitting shippers having bags on
hand printed with the 1925 combina-
ton grade, to use them, providing the
contents meet the requirements as
marked If the contents of such sacks
are not up to the grade, the percent
age may be crossed off.
The new regulations will go into eff
feet September L. Permission was Civ
en- to pack any of the grades, except
culls, as bakers, with the minimum size
limited to 10 ounces.
N. P. Anglin, deputy horticultural
inspector for this valley, has a COM
plete copy of the new rules.

STILL A LITTLE HOMESICK
FOR OLD WASHINGTON FRIENDS

I'VE are both we'll but get dreadfully
lonesome for our friends in the Bluffs,

California, in note that accompanied
her renewal to the Spokesman this
week. at is fruit time here too. such
as it is, but it isn't what we would
call fruit at all. Prunes are on full
swing now, and early peaches and
pears are over Potatoes here are not
very good; we buy Yakima Gems all
the time They have what are called
river potatoes, though, that are grown
on the river flats and are mudded out
as the tide covers them every so often
and they are good spuds.
Things seem to be picking up some
here. Napa is planning on two new
one at Brown. Quite little building
now and 1 am glad of it for it was
pretty hard on lot of people last win
ter.
I'VE didn't raise much garden this
year for the ground is new and rathe,
poor at best but we have lovely toma-
toes and onions. Power rates are high
and garden stuff cheap, SO it doesn't
pay to bother with garden but we
have to have lots of kale for the hens

Eastern Apple Crop Large
But Small, Says Visitor

While the apple crop this year ir
the Virginia Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania districts promises to double the
1880 production, the fruit is small ane
not of very high quality, Mr.. GUM
ard of Hood River Oregon, told L. A
Codding when he was here the latter
part of last week Mr.. Guinard, who
represents the Ideal Grader and Muir
sery company of Hood River, recently
returned from trip to the East, dur
ing which he visited the sections men

By Mrs. A. r. Luddingtom

The community was greatly shocked
and saddened Saturday afternoon

a barrel through a rubber hose Mr.
Shields had been i'll few days pre-
vious and it is thought that the gas
dropped dead few moments after
going into the house.
Lawrence Franklin Shields was born
January 2, 1878, in Nashville, Tenn,
and was SO years old at the time Of
his death. He leaves to mourn his
loss, his wife and three daughters, Mrs
William Mcdowell of Pueblo, Colorado,
Mrs. Walter Lehman of Seattle, and
Miss Evelyn Shields of Hanford; also
three brothers and three grandchil-
dren.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lehman and baby ar
ried Sunday morning from Seattle to

from the Presbyterian church in Han
ford, Monday afternoon at two o'clock,
the body afterwards being shipped to
Seattle for burial. Mrs. Shields and
Evelyn accompanied the Lehmans on
their return to Seattle Tuesday morn

The sympathy of the entire COM
munity goes out to the sorrowing fa-
mily so suddenly bereft of loving
husband and father.
