DON'T ASK CHARLES FOR CREDIT
UNLESS YOU KNOW HIM

There is at least one young couple
who are quite sure that the White
Bluffs Drug company is not doing
any credit business with strangers, es-
pecially when Charles English is in
charge of the store.
Last Sunday at a time when Mr..
and Mrs. English were out taking a
little drive over the new oiled road,
rather attractive young lady came
into the drug store and asked for a
couple of bottles of pop While Charles
was wrapping these up for her she
remarked that one of her boys" was
suffering from rheumatism and asked
if the drug store carried anything
that would relieve him. Charles sug-
gested rub alcohol-not the kind that
is intended to be taken internally
and she said she would take a half
pint
When this was wrapped up and
handed to her, she said she did not
have any money with her but that
she would send 1t up from the hotel
at once Something about the trans
action aroused Charles suspicious and
he stepped to the door and watched
her walk down the street and get into
a car with young man-her little
boy seemed to have grown considerably
in the few minutes she had been away
from him--and the car started to-
ward Yakima
Convinced then that he had been
buncoed. Charles was in an impatient
and irritable mood until his father
and mother drove up short time la
ter. Making short explanation to
them of what had happened he hustled
them out of the car and with Bob
Remlinger started in pursuit of his
late vanishing customer and her COM
panion.
They found the pair on the west
side of the irrigation canal where they
had parked their car and we're appar-
emily preparing to make an internal
instead of an external application of
their lately purchased medicine"
The young man at first was inclined
to be a little belligerent but when
Charles Strengthened up his full six
feet and demanded either the money
or the return of the goods he capitu-
lated and said he could have the goods
as he had no money. This closed the
incident except that Charles said he
could not resist the temptation to
walk around the car to where the
young lady was standing to casually
inquire If she had left the kids al
the hotel"

Poultry Outlook

Reduction in numbers of both hens
and pullets on farms, cheaper feeds
in relation to prices of eggs, lowered
storage stocks and good consumption
OF poultry products are the principle
adjustments occurring in the poultry
industry on August 1, according to r.
M. Turner, extension economist, Pull
man, Washington.
While the numbers of layers in farm
flocks in the United States on July
was about five per cent less than
on that date year ago, estimates OH
specialized poultry farms in the II
western states indicate a slightly
smaller decrease in layers. Culling and
marketing Of hens during the next few
J months will depend greatly on the
price Of eggs during August and Sep
TENDER.
Hatchery reports from January to
June indicated about ~ per cent de-
crease IN saleable chicks compared to
last year, The percentage Of young
birds on farms in the western district
on July LIST as compared to last year
was less than that reported for the
United States.
On June Is this year chicken prices
were relatively much higher and egg
prices slightly higher, than feed prices
compared with their relative position
in the years 1923 to 1927. There are
abundant supplies of lower priced
poultry feeds throughout the country
In the western states adjustments are
being made to utilize the abundant
supplies Of wheat, oats, barley, mill
feeds and milk products. Many farm
ers are reducing feed costs by utilizing
farm produced skimmilk with their
grains and alfalfa to supply balanced
rations for both egg production and
growing pullets with excellent results
Receipts of eggs at the four large
markets from January l to July 81
showed decrease of O.8 per cent as
compared with the same period of 1880
Storage holdings of eggs on July
were below those of last year as well
as the five year average.
Consumption of eggs in January
February and March was approximate
ly II per cent larger than for the
same months year ago. Consump-
ton was checked in April and May
but as a low price point was reached
in June, consumption again improved
Increased demand for poultry pro-
ducts will be dependent upon business
improvement. An upturn in business
is expected during the fall or win.
ter. With the prospects of a materia
reduction in both hens and pullets il
the laying houses next fall and thu
favorable feed-egg ratio, poultryme1
are facing considerably improved fal
and winter conditions. Business i'm
provement and increased buying pow
err are essential before any increase il
poultry numbers will likely be justi
fled.

Advertising Speeds UP
Business, Says Authority

During times like these, business
enterprises of every kind, small OF

advertising columns of Washington

ISOLATION. 1.-THE press of the state is
helping to stabilize conditions during
the depression, and business should
not forget that consistent advertising
is one means of informing the public
and assisting business to recover
"The North American Automobile
association is carrying on statewide
newspaper advertising campaign in
practically all papers, and while our
budget is limited, we believe in telling
our message to the pubic through the
medium of the state newspapers -
Bastien pointed out.
Our advertising campaign gets us
results, and we believe that all bust
ness, large and small, will benefit by
advertising Local merchants in every
town in the state will find no better
medium to sell their products than
through the columns of their own To-
cal newspapers"
Speaking about advertising and the
results that it brings, DR.. Julius Klein
assistant secretary of commerce. who
made the following statement, says:
"Judiciously planned advertising is
one of the most effective instruments
with which to combat commercial de-
preston. 1t is business accelerator
Of proved power 1t keeps goods NOV
ing, it inspires confidence, it creates
good will
But in order to accomplish the ben
Efficient results. advertising must strike
the public consciousness unremittingly
Any abrupt halt-any extended alb
sence of the advertisers message-may
be disastrous"

EARLY NEWS OF CHAUTAUQUA 4
BY Isabel BOzman)

Now that the pussy willows are
peeping out. and one robin has made
spring song, it is time to plan for
vacation.
Such a sanctuary as the Chautau-
qua grounds has been. ii is sur
prise to hear that many of the song
sters have perhaps followed the
guests who go 10 the south instead
OF remaining for the winter, but we
are sure they will be there for A
glad welcome when we arrive.
There have been no heavy snow
drifts to block traffic so because OF
the open winter all kinds Of work
has progressed Several beautiful
and useful new buildings will be
completed before the season opens.
Yet we have hallowed memories OF
the old buildings
The chapel built in 1877 for RELIC
ious services OF the winter com
munity, was but a barn Of house.
but the talent occupying the pulpit
was OF the best the times afforded.
As this is being razed, the site for
Hurlbut memorial which is to house
the community church is being pre-
pared. Ground was broken in
September and it will be ready for
use at the opening Of 1881 season.
Funds for the building have been
raised over period Of three years,
by subscription, and it Will be a
monument to honor Dr.. Jesse Lyman
Hurlbut who for 80 years was as
sociated as counselor and Sunday
school worker with Bishop Vincent,
in the Chautauqua Institution.
This fine edifice will be built OF
buff brick, and completed in every
way, with an auditorium seating
800, large Sunday school room, q

woman's room, with all facilities of
a community center.
AS we compare the handsome new
and commodious buildings with the
shell like structures of the early
days, we find in the SOS it was men
tai and spiritual which counted.
The physical was disposed of briefly;
now, perhaps, we are to have both in
comfort
Another relic being removed is
the museum built for the purpose of
housing archaeological and Biblical
curiosities. We well remember the
mummey and plaster map of Pales-
tine, also a variety of oriental cos
tunes, new to our eyes. This now
gives place for a new library. This
Chas. M. Wilkes. 1t will harmon
ize in general appearance with the
present buildings on the plaza. Be
cause of its position, the library will
be as beautiful on the side toward
the amphitheater, as toward the
plaza. 1t is planned to house Mrs.
Wilkes collection of art objects and
books, on the first floor, which also
will contain the circulating library
The third building, erected in
1890, was the c. L. S. c., and used
for that society all these years. Now
it gives room for better things.
The Friendship garden established
last summer in the rear of the
Hospitality house, has been moved
to the front of the house, SO a fine
colonial addition will make this Y.
w. c. A. very useful. 1t will contain
a small auditorium seating 100,
with a fire place.
