CITY FROWNS
ON PEDDLERS
Council to Hack 'em if
They Want to Use
Streets of Town


If there is any way for the city
to protect local merchants from
street peddlers the city council
will do everything in its power to
provide penalties sufficiently big
to put them on a parity with the
local taxpayers. This feeling was
evidenced at the last meeting Of
the city fathers when a complaint
was received that street falSir
had peddIed cheap merchandise
from the sidewalk
The discussion at the council
chambers indicated that the rer-
chants felt that such practices
should be stopped In the first
place the merchandise itself is ne
yer worth the price asked from the
peddlers and secondly that if the
city permits such practices they
would be placed at DISADVANTAGES.
The peddlers pay no taxes, rents
or other overhead expenses, are IT
responsible and IN some cases are
downright dishonest.
To permit such to sell upon the
streets or to allow merchandise
auctions, it was felt, is an itnpo-
sition upon the home merchants
TIE ordinance committee Of the
council was asked to put teeth in
to the present regulatory meas
ure or draw up new one which
would handle the situation.

CONGRESSMAN
SUMMERS PAYS
COMPLIMENTS
Says Grape Juice Plant is
Big Potentially; Says We
Have Outstanding Newspa-
per and Chamber

GAS a longtime stakeholder in
your local grape juice plant, I
have every expectation to some
day seeing this plant expand TO
handle many times the tonnage it
now uses" Congressman John w.
Summers this noon to the MEM
bers of the local chamber of COM
merce.
"Many small towns thru the
east are entirely supported from
establishments which produce a
much less important a product
than grape juice. With the splen-
did grape production here, both
from a quality and quantity
standpoint, the plant should ex-
pand with the returning prosper
ity to such an extent that it will
become the towns leading indus
try he said.
Mr.. Sumers paid the local
chamber and the local newspaper
a high compliment. He said that
Kennewick had acquired SPLEEN
did reputation all over the west
as being one of the best towns in
the state, and that such a reputa-
ton was earned largely by having
two very outstanding institutions,
the chamber and the newspaper,
both of which were unusually
good, in his opinion.

W.C.T.U. WOMEN
ENDORSE THE
REPUBLICANS
State Convention Goes on Re
cord as Favoring Hoover,
Jones and Summers; Big
Gain is Noted

During stormy morning SEES
sion of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union here, a wave of
enthusiasm from the floor of the
assembly indicated that the Or
ganization is to rally to the sup
port of President Herbert Hoover
and the republican party. 1t was
felt by the delegates that the re-
publican platform falls more in
line with the views of the organi-
cation.
Mrs. Elizabeth Murdoch of Yak
ina, originated a movement in be-
half of Senator Wesley L. Jones,
John Gellatly, republican candiA
date for governor, and congress-
man John w. Summers. Mrs. MUIR
dock declared these mems princi-
pies were in sympathy with their
own views.
During the afternoon sessions
it was revealed, 20 local unions
had made gain in membership
during the past year, and were adj
mitted to the Keepers of the Flag.
It was also learned that 500 new
members joined the ranks of the
organization in Eastern Washing
ton in the past year.
In quoting parts of speeches Of
both President Hoover, and the
democratic nominee, Franklin u.
Roosevelt, the state president, Mrs.
Martha Murray Of Spokane, said
that the stand of the organization
was fully non-partisan, but she
did urge that the members closely
consider and compare the differ
ent candidates for both national
and state offices, and to pick those
they felt best fitted to the pledges
of the W.C.T.U. before casting,
their ballots.
Mrs. Murray declared the Hoo
yer administration during the past
four years has advanced prohibit
ton enforcement, and he himself
is in favor of it.
Mrs. T.. L. Seawell in charge Of
the organizations Fair Exhibits
department, declared from a
statement made by Evangeline
Booth, Prohibition has practical
ly abolished poverty" She also de-
clared, the larger the vote the
larger dry percentage. So get out
and vote.
Friday will close the four-day
conclave of the organization with
the first of its 40 meetings ever
held at Kennewick. The last day
will be taken up largely with the
presidents message, and commit
tee and board reports.

APPLE PRICES
LOW BUT ARE
LOOKING Up
Half Crop in District is Going
Through Packing Sheds in
Hopes of Rising Market;
Helps Unemployment

Unemployment in the Kenne-
wick region has found some re-
lief with the opening of the 1882
fall apple harvest. Several hum
dred workers are now busy in both
orchards and packing houses,
thruout the Kennewick- Richland
district, with either the harvest or
packing activities as thousands of
boxes Of rosy red winesaps are be-
ing trucked to shippers.
Although the prices being re-
ceived are admittedly low, and
some of the orchardists have not
harvested their complete crop,
others are going ahead with the
hopes of a rising market. Work
ers in both the orchards and the
packing houses are working on a
wage scale that is in proportion
to the prices being received for
the apples
Both orchardists and packers
warned that the local labor sup
ply was adequate to supply the
demand for help and that TRANSMIT
workers were not being tolerated.
Officials of the Big Y declared
their house has over rs persons
employed with their pack, and are
getting out from 1900 to 1000
standard boxes day. Much of the
fruit is to be held here in storage
until after the first of the year, as
a raise in price at that time may
fe effected.
A survey Of the crop throut the
Yakima Valley revealed that il
will be approximately so percent
less than that of previous years
The average shipments from tbs

it will probably be only half. 9th

that it will have some bearing OF

If there be virtue in organizing

slide thru next month in splendid
shape. We have a national repub-

the women also have duplicates
of the mems organizations. The
latest such are the recent forma-

issue and now comes new one.
A national Hoover-C Curtis Law

In letter from S.. w. Bret

Everyday Psychology
Envies and Jealousies.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPROWLs.

Envies and jealousies are feelings in
action. mention these two things to-
gether for the reason that they belong
together, work together. The first is
wish for something you do not have
and cannot attain by fair means; the
second is an organized hidden attempt
to divest the envied of that which not
enriches him and leaves me poor, in
deed" I know of no two things that
can disrupt an organization more
quickly, more completely.
Further, know of nothing that can
so easily direct an essentially honest
man or woman into the paths OF Chi
canery and deceit.
There should be some way for each
of us to provide against the day when
envies and jealousies go into action.
First, I would advise the feast pos
sible intercourse with weaklings. Envi-
GUS persons are always weak. put
this down as a psychological law, in
faIlible as the law of gravitation.
Second, envies and jealousies, born OF
weakness, are nourished by cheap and
poisonous mental food. That nourish-
ment is always gossip. Your best de-
fense is silence in the presence of the
envious, and also in the presence Of the
one VINO is led astray by gossip.

SUPPLY BRIGHTNESS TO DARK


panes or less. Nothing SO Immediately
proclaims the wrong alterations OF a
house than does such change. The
substitution of modern front doors for
the quaint old ones is another repre-
hensible alteration all too frequently
SEEN It may be that the old door
was solid wood and light was desired
in the front hall.
One way to get the light without
running the doorway is to have window
lights put in above the door frame. 1t
is possible to have old bulls-eye glass
reproduced for these lights, but even
small rectangular panes preserve the
correct style Side lights also are in
good form They should be but one
pane wide and extend from the top
OF the door frame to within foot or
a trif1e more from the floor. The
frames should correspond with the
door frame and appear to be but an
extension of it.
Sometimes the lights can be in the
door itself, especially when the door
has the cross-paneling for the upper
portion of the door. This supplies two
little panels, into each of which a
bull's-eye or a regular pane can be
put. While these are but a few ad-
mirable ways of changing plain old
houses, they give some idea OF how
it can be done to conform to the orig
inal architecture.

THAT BODY OF YOURS

stead of meat, the bowel is 25 to 100
times the body length, while in the cat
and dog 1t is from four to eight times
that length. In man it is about five to
six times the length of his body.
If. then. raw vegetables are not en-
tirely suited to the needs of the body
for these reasons. what about cooked
vegetables? 1t is possible to get vege-
tables containing protein, the food sub
stance in meat. as peas and beans are
rich in proteinS. Some Sects-Hindus-
live on strictly vegetable diet. How
ever, it is difficult to get all the ele-
mentS needed by the body, especially
lime. iron, certain vitaminS and COM
plete, proteins. unless some animal foods
are included or very large amount Of
leafy vegetables is taken. And, as men,
toned. the human digestive tract is not
well adapted to handling so large a bulk
of leafy vegetables as would be needed
if these FOODS alone had to make up the
deficiencies in the peas, beans, oats or
other cereals.
Meat is one food which supplies the
protein in the proper form to make up
for what the cereals lack. The old rule,
one part meat or eggs, two parts butter,
milk. cream and fat meat, to four parts
vegetables, is still considered right. A
little raw vegetable or fruit once day
is advisable.

~ROUCHED as close to the ground
as he could get among the
grasses, too frightened to move
~ or even think, Needless Bunny
stared with popping eyes at
Black Pussy steadily creeping nearer
and nearer. He had never seen ner De,
fore. and now she looked very hfg ana
terrible to the little Rabbit. There was
a fierce CLEAN in her yellow eyes as,
crouching low, she crept through the
grass slowly and carefully, pausing every
Step or two, the tip Of her long. black
tail twitching in suppressed excitement.
That she was making ready 10 spiins
on him Needless Bunny hadn't doupt:
Still he couldn't move. All power OF
movement seemed to have left him. All
he could do was crouch there as II
frozen stiff.
Now, it happens that this was a lucky
thing for Needless Bunny. Black Pussy
didn't see him and hadn't seen him.
She didn't know he was anywhere
about. She was hunting one OF the
children of Danny Meadow Mouse. Had
Needless Bunny moved. even ever SO
little, she would have seen that move
ment, and probably that would have
Nature took care of him by allowing
move and give himself away.
Little Mrs. Peter Rabbit, mother OF
Needless Bunny, had counted noses In
the bramble tangle on the edge OF Green
Forest and missed Needless Bunny. She
charged the others to remain where
they were and at once started out to
look for Needless Bunny. He can't be
far away" thought she, and anxiously
thumped signal. There was no reply.
and after humping again she started
to look in earnest. She would hop a
few steps this way and sit up to look,
then hop few steps that way and DO
the same thing.
Presently ahead of her she saw some
thing black moving. Her heart seemed
to jump right up in her throat. She sat
very still, looking, and in a moment
her fears were realized. 1T Is Black
Pussy" said she under her breath
Yes, sir, it is Black Pussy and she Is
creeping up on some one! Oh, dear, 1t
must be Needless Bunny! What can
do?"
Just then Black Pussy raised her
head and stood for moment, looking
intently in the grass ahead Of her. By
the way she stood Mrs. Peter knew that
Black Pussy didn't yet see whoever 1t
was she was after. IF 1 can Just get
her attention perhaps she will try to
catch me-" thought Mrs. Peter.
Black Pussy had begun to creep for
ward again and little Mrs. Peter wasted
no time. She hurried straight toward
Black Pussy. When she was quite near
she stopped and thumped, and instantly
Black Pussy's head came up and she

turned and saw Mrs. Peter. A hungry
gleam came into her yellow eyes, and
she crouched fiat in the grass. Then,
crouching as close to the ground as she
could, she began to creep very slowly
and stealthily toward Mrs. Peter. The
latter waited as long as she dared and
then hoped off few steps and sat up
again. Black Pussy stopped and waited.
Mrs Peter hoped a few more steps and
then pretended to be eating sweet
clover.
Black Pussy, still crouching as close
to the ground as she could, SO as to be
partly hidden in the grass, moved for
ward much faster than before, but just
as stealthily. Again Mrs Peter sat up
and Black Pussy froZe, as the saying IS.
Then the whole thing was repeated.
So, little by little, Black Pussy was led
| away, but all the time she was getting
nearer and nearer to Mrs. Peter and
the latter didn't run, as she wanted to,
lest Black Pussy become discouraged
and 90 back to hunt for the one she
had been after in the first place. and
Mrs Peter was sure that this was Heed
less Bunny.
Mrs Peter was afraid Yes, indeed.
she was very much afraid, for she knew
that if Black Pussy should catch her
that would be the end of her. Still she
continued to lead Black Pussy away
and still Black Pussy got nearer and
nearer At last she was near enough
for spring. Mrs. Peter was watching
and just in the very nick Of time
lodged
BY this time Needless Bunny had
discovered that Black Pussy was no
| longer near. He cautiously sat up.
Some distance away he saw his mother,
lodging this way and that, and almost
at her heels Black Pussy. Then Heed
less Bunny took to his own heels and
made straight for the bramble tangle.

cost too much to forward them by

All of these letters have been ex-

the sawdust and there is no way OF
warning him that Woodpecker is siz-
ing him up, or rather, watching the
tip OF the beetles body. Thousands OF
beetles never complete their homes.
Then he may tap pitch vein and be
drowned in it. The loss OF life among
the males is high, and may account for
the fact that those who have success
fully accomplished the construction OF
more.
The beetle bachelor does not leave
his castle to seek bride. She must
come to him. After they mate, the
excavations begin in the wall OF the
living room. with the husband kept
busy removing the sawdust and keeping
the room tidy The stations around the
room will establish the number OF
wives each beetle has.
After the mother has completed the
cradle. she inserts the tip of her body
she seals the future beetle in and goes
about making another niche.
A few days after the egg is placed in
its niche, the tiny grub matches and
begins his trek to the outside world. AS
he cuts his way, he eats the pulp.
Sometimes two or more grubletS meet
face to face They have cut through
the thin partitions separating their gal
lery. and one only can pass. For sew
eral days the beetle cuts little bark
each day. and when the daylight is
peeping through the opening, he takes
a rest and transforms into the beetle of
the open air, with wings for transpor-
tation.
There are several generations each
year. the last one alternating through
the Winter under the bark. Engraver
beetles, which have caused the loss OF
millions of dollars throughout the
United States and the Eastern part of
Canada, are the bark beetles that at
tack the limbs of the pine trees. The
female Is black. with dark reddish color
ing on her back. fringed with yellow
hairs. The male is larger and has
blonde whiskers.
The tree dies In about six months.
The thousands of holes admit water
and spores The leaves turn yellow and
drop of. The safe thing to do Is to
cut a tree down and burn it when 1t
has been attacked by so many Of these
engravers, as it harbors many who will
be ready to hy out in the Spring.
