Post members that ex-seryice men, OF
men claiming to be such, have been

funds for any purpose by ex-service
men or those claiming to be ex-service
men; that any one in the valley who
is being so solicited would confer a
favor by reporting it to the officers
of the Post.

Interesting Letters
Fom the Underhills

Short extracts from letters received
by friends of Mr. and Mrs. Underhill,
who are on a six months tour of Eur
ope, will be of general interest, it is
believed. OF his impressions of Eng
lish weather and market conditions,
Mr. Underhill says, in short note
to L. A. Codding:
1--WE have seen more rain than we
thought could exist in one month. 1t
has rained so much in England that
they had to stop using binders in the
fields and take recourse to the old
strong-arm method of harvesting the
grain and binding it by hand. AT
that, I would judge that great deal
of grain rotted in the fields. The con-
dition of France has been about the
same, as far as I have been able to
kobserve.
"The prices of fruit in London are
out of all reason. For instance, we
saw peaches for sale at 2 49, or about
sixty cents each. These were English
grown but there were few on the
market from Italy, slightly cheaper.
saw very little fruit on the market
from America, but it was very late in
the season. I saw a lot OF Rome
Beauties from New Zealand. The Eng
lish are making great effort to give
preference to the products of the Brit
ish colonies, or dominionS, as they
choose to call them. I would not be
surprised if this would make some diff
on the English market, but well-in-
formed Englishmen have told me that
the Imperial Preference does not work
if the other goods are the cheaper. BY
the way saw some Blue Goose apples
on the market here in Paris yesterday
I'VE were in London during the cab
met crisis recently, but saw very little
of it as it did not seem to worry the
average Englishman very much, but
there were great crowds around Down
ing Street"
In letter to Ms. F. E. Taylor, Mrs
Underhill tells of their trip to Paris:
1--WE were out of London a week go
ing to Winchester, Salisbury, Oxford
and Cambridge.
You would find London much
changed, I believe. At least that is
what everyone tells us. 1t costs 15C
dollars per year to own Ford-75
dollars for license and IS dollars for
insurance together with 16 cent gas
tax.
I'VE left England by way of Dover
as we had planned Went to Calais or

School Notes
GRADE SCHOOL

Since we have so many nice, pic
lures hanging on the walls the fifth
and sixth grades thought it would i'm
prove the appearance of our room if
we had curtains.
We made designs, pictures of flow
ers and birds on scratch paper. Then
we picked out the six prettiest ones
and traced them on white cloth. We
colored the designs with crayolas, cut
them out, and glued them on the cur
tains. The girls hemmed the curtains
nicely. by Clarabell Hall,

The fifth and sixth grades have
been collecting different kinds of in

scorpions, worms, and crawfish. We
also have two gold fish. We preserved
some of them by putting them in al

Second Legion Smoker
Friday, October 2

Art Milbradt, Yakima promoter, was
in White Bluffs Wednesday and
Thursday assisting members of John
Lindblad Post in the arrangement of
a fight card for the next Legion
,srsoker is,hlch will be, given in Liberty
hafi, White Bluffs, Friday evening,
October Q:
So far the following bouts have been
arranged:
In the main event, Ray Brown, 145
pounds, of The Dalles, Ore, will meet
Emmett TWeedie, 143 pounds, of Walla
Walla. Brown is often known as the
miniature Dempsey and Tweedie has
all the characteristics of Gene Tun-
ney. A long count here would make
it another Chicago episode. This
bout will go six rounds.
Boyd King, $50 pounds, right-hand
socker from the De Veuve ranch, will
meet Lee Martin, a good colored boy
from Yakima in the round semi
Windup.
Dan Love, $50 pounds and Mike
Venneri, who tips the scales at the
same weight, will fight it out in the
4 round preliminary. Mikes choice of
an opponent is Dan Love, and Dan
likes his judgment.
In addition to these, a special four
round bout is being arranged but de-
tails have not yet been worked out.
The curtain raiser is also still in
the making but it is expected that the
whole card will be completed by the
first of next week.

Winesap Harvest
To Start Oct. l

Growers in this valley are approach
ing, If they have not already reached,
the peak Of their apple harvest. All
of the varieties, with the exception
of the Winesaps, will probably be OFT
the trees by the end Of this week.
Harvesting of the Wines. which make
up about one half Of the apple ton
mage produced here, is expected to
start In a number of the orchards next
week.
During the cooler weather of the
past two weeks, the apples have taken
on both size and color and in some of
the orchards, especially on the thin
ner soil, will be matured sufficiently
to be picked, growers say, by the
first of October.
In the varieties so far packed, worm
damage, here as elsewhere, has been
unusually heavy, and will cut into the
estimated crop that will roll to mar
ket from this state.
The wind of the past week blew off
some of the apples, the loss in the De-
licious and Romes and the larger var
ieties running as high as 10 per cent
in some of the orchards, it is esti-
mated In the Winesaps, which are
smaller and not nearly so well ma
tured, the loss, except possibly in the
outside rows, was negligible. The wind
storm was general over the fruit dis
tricts of the state, being particularly
severe in the Okanogan country.

STORE MANAGER FINED

Pleading guilty to selling apples that
were wormy, Donald Campbell, store
manager of Kennewick, was fined 500
by j. A. Hatch in the Kennewick
justice court last week. The charge
was brought by Doyle B. Starcher,
horticultural inspector at large. Camp
bell paid the fine, but claimed that
the grower in the Richland district
who sold the apples, said that they
were in good condition Her

Freight Rate on
Apples to Coast
Hard to Figure
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM.
MISSION AND STATE BOARD
ARE IN CONFLICT

The freight rates ON apples from
eastern Washington to Coast points
are in somewhat of a muddle right
now
At the beginning of the apple move
ment this fall, first the Great North
ern, then the Northern Pacific reduced
the 28H cent rate cents from Wen
atchee and Yakima, respectively, to
Seattle and short time later the Mil
waukee announced a similar reduc-
ton from White Bluffs and Hanford.
The Washington State Department
of Public Works approved the 22E
cent rate but the Interstate Commerce
Commission in a decision rendered
last Friday, refused to give its approx
al to the lower rate
This conflict between the two regu-
latory bodies has created d rather odd
situation but shippers interpret it to
mean that apples originating at any
of the above named points take the
22l2 cent rate if they are to be con-
sumed in Seattle but if they are for
export OF for shipment to some other
state the 28la cent rate applies.
But there are other complications
On the Northern Pacific the 221ac rate
applies only from Yakima west and on
the Milwaukee from White Bluffs and
Hanford. The distance from this val
ley to the Coast is nearly as far as
from Kennewick SO that the unusual
situation of much lower rate from
White Bluffs than from Kennewick or
even from Sunnyside presents itself.
Fruit has been hauled from White
Bluffs and Hanford to Sunnyside for
packing and loading but now with the
rate from here the cheaper, the fruit
could be hauled in the opposite direc-
ton and saving made.
r Yakima shippers operating in KEN
lnewick and Benton City claim they
will be greatly handicapped because
the Yakima rate has been reduced
while that from Benton City and
Kennewick remains the same.
And there is still another chapter
to the story The Wenatchee Daily
World carried the following news story
on it's front page. Monday:
Yakima valley apple shippers are
diverting as many of their foreign
shipments as possible to Portland be-
cause they blame the Seattle and Ia
coma port authorities for the cancel
lation of the reduced rates granted
month ago. according to statement
issued by Ivan L. Plette, secretary
and manager of the Yakima Valley
Traffic IL Credit Association.
Some shippers are arranging for idle
lumber trucks to be sent over from the
Coast points for loading rather than
pay the increased rates.
Seattle and Tacoma authorities pro-
tested the reduced rates granted to
Portland some time ago and the Inter
state Commerce Commission evidently
decided to even things up by suspend
ing the reduced rates to Seattle and
other Sound cities. If Tacoma had
not joined in this protest, Pette says
that shippers would have sent all
their apples to that port. He advises
Wenatchee valley shippers to have
their foreign apple shipments loaded
at Everett instead of Seattle

NOT NECESSARY TO
SCREEN POTATOES LONGER

Beginning October 1st, it will not
be necessary to screen potatoes for
shipment to Western Washington, ac-
cording to Doyle B. Starcher, horti-

Shipments of potatoes to Oregon
and California must still be accom-
panied by quarantine certificate stat
ing that the potatoes were passed over
a screen Immediately prior to loading
into the car.

Good Fight Card
Is Put On by
Legion Boys
ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD OF FANS
WITNESS LIVELY BOUTS
AT SMOKER

A fair sized crowd of fans attended
the smoker at Liberty hall Saturday
evening, the first of series being
sponsored by the American Legion.
The card was good one and was
thoroughly enjoyed.
In the curtain raiser, Richard
Schicka and Maurice Ralston, dressing
around 60 pounds each, put on a great
contest, the battle being almost en-
tirely one of rights. And how they
swung. The referee called it a draw
at the end of the four rounds ana
the crowd roared it's approval.
When he donned his fighting togs
in the dressing room, Vic Hethering-
ton found that his trousers were too
large and in order to allow time to
do something about this switch in
the card was necessary, so Mike Ven
neri of Hanford and Vern Horning of
Selah went on for their four round
affair. Horning came here with the
reputation of being able to absorb
lot of punishment and that is just
what he did Mike had all the better
of the milling and there was not
dissenting voice in the crowd when the
referee raised his hand at the end of
the battle.
A safety pin having been found in
the meantime to take up the slack in
his trousers, Vic Hetherington of Han
ford then came on for his four round
engagement with Bud Paschen of
White Bluffs. This was an exceedingly
fast contest with both boys stepping
around like couple of game cocks
and the milling was of decidedly
flashy order. Vic seemed to have a
little the better of it in the first two
rounds but Bud came back strong in
the last two to even the count and the
lllar with the crowd. II. q
The semi windup was four round
contest between Ronald Ralston of
White Bluffs and Tiger Darlington of
Yakima, the latter substituting for
Boyd King, who was called out Of town.
Ronald was willing and carried the
fight to his opponent most of the way
but the Tiger was more experienced
and was stepping inside on most OF
the hard swings. Ronald went down
for no count in the early stages of
the fight and there were two or three
other times when he looked a little
Woody but he was not backing up and
was willing to mix it whenever the OPP
portunity offered. The referees de-
cision went to Darlington.
The main event featured Ted King
of White Bluffs and Ray Brown of
Harrah Both of these boys are ex-
perienced boxers and the milling was
a little more scientific. Both landed
telling blows but Brown seemed to
have the more steam behind his swings
for King was down three or four times.
In the first round he took seven
count and was on the canvas when
the bell rang at the end of both the
second and third rounds. Brown
clearly out-boxed his opponent and
was given the decision at the end of
the four rounds. His manager says
that Brown, who is an Italian boy ID
years old. has never lost a decision
and he believes he has great pos
sibility in the youngster.
A good card is already being lined
up for the second Of these Legion
smokers which will be held in Liberty
hall Friday evening, october 2.
