ployment," substituted as Sorter in the
place of Mrs. Shaw, who stayed home
on account of illness, but his efforts
in this direction were punctuated by
numerous Interruptions, and we can't
say whether he spent more time with
his ear to the radio or at the sorting
table. Unusual silence and diligent
attention to work prevailed during his
presence, and many an erring sorter
wished she were sleight of hand art
list, so that stings placed on the extra
belt could be whisked miraculously
away, and wormy apples in the fancies
magically made to disappear.
Everyone was decidedly suspicious Of
Mrs. Kalkwarf's motives when she was
heard to tell the bumper he was hand
some, and later seen to present him
with candy bar. Was it bride
or merely the paying Of bet? The
evasive answers to our questioning only
served to stimulate curiosity. Alas, we
fear the truth will never be known.
Friday afternoon the fish man paid
his usual visit to the shed, and we were
amazed to see him pause beside Mrs.
Martin and whisper in her ear words
which caused q deep blush to suffuse
her cheeks. Ears hung out and some
one caught the words "I'll see you out
side at recess" So we all rushed out,
to see her presented with a big fish.
We'd like to know how she does it.
Our bumper made bad break when
he offered to carry in wood for one
of the sorters suffering with back
ache. Since then all the sorters have
suddenly gone lame when wood is
needed and Mr.. Parsel finds himself
with the whole job on his hands.
Monday saw the last load of apples
hauled in from the orchard, much to
the joy of the horses and also Mr..
Spear, who now spends most of his
time about the shed, with a happy
smile on his face in contemplation of
deer and elk which he hopes to bag
during the hrunting, season. Mr.. HaW-
ley, Mr.. Parke and Bud Heath are al
so planning expeditions after game,
and we wish them all luck.
While most OF the crew nave noun
ing more exciting to do after harvest
than return home to catch up on ne
elected work a few members have
other plans. Bud Heath expects to
make California again this winter, and
Mrs. Saith will return to Soap Lake.
George and Evelyn McCotter will leave
in search of another job, and Dorothy
Searles will return to her home near
Seattle. Mr. and Mrs. ParSel, who
spent last winter on the Coast, will
make their home here.
Although the season has had its
aches and pains, it also leaves us some
pleasant memories to carry over I'M
til next fall, when we hope to tell
our little happenings in this column
once more.

Hawley Warehouse

This week will complete the season
at the Hawley shed, expecting to fin
ish up about noon Friday. Eeveryone
is looking forward to good rest.
George McCotter brought his radio
Saturday afternoon to get the football
game, which caused quite bit of ex-
element and the usual betting on the
outcome. Our shed boss has been
looking for something ever since, and
it must be the bets he lost on the
game.

horticultural Exchange

Walter Stricken joined the team last
week. Came in to pinch hit for Mrs.
Leander who claims that packing just
makes her tired, and he is now on
the regular lineup We claim he is
the only packer in captivity who uses
two packing frames at the same time.
The box sits on one and Walter sits on
the other.
Say, didn't Hensley get all fused up
when one Of the sorters picked up his
hand and tried to put it on the Gull
belt?
Mr.. Hemker, our genial bumper, was
hurt last week, going down for the
count in a one-round bout with the
family sedan. Will Roberts substituted
for him, but found he could not keep
up with our speedy sorters, so Helmer
sanner is now officiating, to the COM
plete satisfaction of all concerned
Alex informs this correspondent that
while he will admit that he is dumb
once in while, there is absolutely
nothing wrong with his eyesight.
We enjoyed our little visit with Mrs.
l. s. Jones, who came over from Sunny
side last week to see her daughter, Mrs.
Frank Dawson.
We wish to make a correction. In
our items last week, we mentioned that
Joe was giving up the study of tele-
graphy, but he says not. He is deter
mined that he will remember the dash
in the Morse Code, if he has to dash
up to the sorting table twenty times
a day to keep it in mind
Did you know that our packing boss
is superstitious? He must be. He be-
lieves in signs and has them tackled in
several conspicuous places in the pack
ing shed. OF course, we don't read
them, but they do look business like
Try the Drug Store First Monday,
Mr.. English sent big box of candy
over to the warehouse for distribution
to the employees. Many thinks, Mr.
English. We enjoyed it.
MONDAY, Special (By Leased Wire)
Walter Stricken played hockey from
the warehouse this afternoon and left
for Seattle, going over with Bill Kirby.
Walter has been gazing out of the west
windows a lot lately, and singing and
whistling sentimental songs, SO we sup
pose there must be some attraction on
the Coast.
Aw, heck! How can Teller get thin.
First, Mr.. English fed us candy; then
Earl came in bearing bushel of pea
nuts (also fattening), and last but not
least, Nc treated the crowd to some of
those nice gooey candy bars. I always
forget to count my Galleries at times
like that.
Tuesday was our day cat Home"
We were pleased to see the most Of
the sorting crew from the White Bluffs
Warehouse, and then to make the af-
ternoon perfect, Mr.. and Mrs. Dolin
Jones, Misses Verna Moulster, Mary
Cox and Olive Walker put in an APP
pearance. They were also several nice
looking and seemingly unattached men,
but am not going to name them for
fear their wives might be reading this
part of the paper.

NOTICE TO TELEPHONE SUB
SCRIBERS

In order to help out in the present
dull times and to make it possible for
some of our patrons to keep telephones
they otherwise feel they can not af-
ford, we are planning to do some con-
struction and repairing of lines this
winter.
It is necessary that we have some
money coming in each month, so we
make the following proposition and
ask that those who are interested no
tify us during the next two weeks SO
we may make financial arrangements
for materials accordingly.
The proposition is that we will spread
our labor among those subscribers who
accept this plan so that each will have
labor credit of $500 or $1,000 to be
placed on our books from which $100
per month will be applied upon the
monthly telephone account, the bal
ance to be paid in cash by the 10th
of the month in order for the sub
lscriber to receive the rebate.
If interested in this plan, please no
tify us as early as possible.

that he Of Jewish descen-perhaps had Jewish

the earnest look and good strong legs be the mother of
great Bismarck perhaps little Ferdinand with his finger
in his mouth very much like 100000 other little German babies
will do the great work, whatever it may be.
It will interest young American mothers and girls soon to
be married and mothers study the intelligent face Of this
young German WIFE
They need be discouraged because they have no Prince

nothing more about the work
ing out of reforms in the indus

currence of the tragedies, the
human tragedies, of these days.
But we are hearing much
about the needs of the bankers
and the railroads. For the Gov
ernment has been in the hands
of the bankers. The mora
torium called the Hoover mora
torium," was really the bank
ers' moratorium. Certainly it
was the bankers plan and the
Administration did what the
bankers said.
The more recent Hoover
Plan" is the bankers plan,
pressed upon the President at
the secret meeting with leading
New York bankers in the apart

ever curious as to the coming

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson.

I'm going to print letter
I have just received. It is not
a pleasant letter. It is filled
with bitterness and hate. It is,
in portions, obviously unin-
formed and unfair. Yet it is
an important letter.
It is important because this
hate and bitterness is re-
flected throughout the country.
There has always been dispute
over whether married women
should work. Now this dispute
is becoming a fury in the
minds of thousands of des-
perate unemployed single wom-
en- and frantic wives and
mothers, with unemployed hus-
bands. <-
HAS. A MARRIED WOMAN,
WITH A HUSBAND WHO rs
ABLE IN ANY DEGREE TO
SUPPORT HER, THE RIGHT
TO TAKE A JOB WHICH
MIGHT BE FILLED BY A
SINGLE GIRL OR A MAN?
A Good Answer
"Why not, if she's more ef-
ficient than the single girl or
the MANI" you may say. And
that was a good answer. once.
BUT is 1T A GOOD ANSWER
NOW? What is/a good answer
to this letter? Read it and tell
the editor of this paper. He'd
like to know.
Dear Miss Robinson:
II would like to give my opin-
ion on the question of MAR
RIED WOMEN WORKING. I
think that these married money
grabbers' should be kept in their
place and that is in the home.
Everywhere you turn you see
them taking the place of the
single girl. How can the single
girl exist in the face of this
competition?
Certainly something must be
done about it. Some of the
gray headed fossils they en-
ploy in offices and stores are
old enough to be pensioned off
but they calmly go on with
their work until they fall in
their tracks. Is that fair? Is
The Washington times., 1931-10-14

there no justice for single girls
who must earn their living?
Employers should lay off their
married women and give the
new blood a chance.
Gall and WOrmwOOd
Another thing that is ruin
ing this country is the MAR
RIED SCHOOL TEACHER
who hogs positions in the day
and night school. It is not
enough for her to be dragging
down a salary by the day teach
ing but she rushes over to the
night school. afraid that she
will lose a dollar. These teach
ers look dragged out and un-
tidy. It is disgraceful to see
the old wrecks that are holding
the good jobs while fresh,
bright young girls lack posi-
tions. It isn't only unfair to
the single workers but it is un-
fair to the children who need
to be taught by modern meth
DDS instead Of methods learned

Let the old, married office
workers-the haS-been teachers
take a back seat now and re-
tire. They have a big enough
pile salted away. Give the
single girls a chance!
please publish this where it
will be seen by the public and
wake up our citizens.

A Threat to
Private LNanS

A Threat to
Private Loans
The drain on Germany in the
paying of the reparations con-
stitutes a threat to these priv
ate loans. Mr.. Colby clearly
sets forth the bankers point Of
view:
"These commitments are sub
Sequent ir time and subordinate
in equity to Germany's repara-
ton obligations. They were made
with a full knowledge of the
underlying public obligations OF
Germany, and Of the fact that
while the United States dis
claimed being a participant in
the reparation payments, our
allied debtors looked upon their
reparation receipts from Ger
many as their sole mea- #
meeting their obligations to the
United States.
There is nothing so repug-
nant to a banker as to find
himself in the position of a sub
ordinate lienor, particularly
when doubt is cast on the
prompt payment of what is
owed him."
