trick, then he took three
rounds of trumpS. winning the
third round 18th Y's J. A
Diamond was led, and trumped

Only Regards Her as a Friend
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm terribly in love with a
, young man. He isn't so hand
some, but he's nice and nice
looking. He is in this town only
week-endS, but I see him every
weekend. He doesn't love me,
I'm sure, as I love him, but only
considers me as a friend. He
goes out occasionally with the
girl where he boards and seems
to think right much Of her, but
I'm sure she doesn't love him.
Please tell me what to do. I
love him terribly.
I have cried at night over
him, because he doesn't know
how care for him. Shall !
just let time take it's course
and pray that he will become
wise to my heart, or what
shall I do?
HEARTBROKEN.
There's a strong undertow in
caring for one as deeply as
you care. And like those
mysteries of tide and current
it often brings people together.
But it's not wise to show how
strong is the attraction. I
don't mean, of course, to
be Snippy, unfriendly and
capricious. No man likes to
be made the butt of those
hateful whims. But if you sit
and gaze adoringly, especially
before other people, it's likely
to produce an incurable case Of
conceit.
There are a hundred ways in
which a girl can show her
admiration delicately. let a man
know that she esteemS him.
lead him to tell her Of his
,ambitionS-and himself. And
please, my dear, remember
that sugar draws a larger
croWd-of all creatures-than
vinegar.

Take What You Will

Take what you will and pay no
heed
To any bar that stands
Between you and the righteous
need
Of your triumphant hands.
Be certain that your fond desire,
The thing which you should
be,
Alone has power to lift you
higher,
Alone can set you free.
The man who turns and doubts
and gropes
And hesitates always,
Too weak Of faith to trust his
hopes,
Will tread no victor's ways.
Take what you will with knoWl-
edge sure
That life was meant for this;
That every aspiration pure
At last must win to bliss.
For life should be a joyous thing.
And man, serene, proud, bold.
Should wear existence as king,
His robes of cloth of gold.

Medical authorities say that skin

that the skin must have a ratio of
body balance ... must have resist
ance from within.
In large degree this resistance
is measured by the hemoglobin con-
tent of the blood and the number of
rich, red-cells it contains. They are
the workers that carry nourishment
and oxygen throughout the body :.
also they remove the poisonous car
bon dioxide. Upon their strength
and number largely depends the
body's vitality its resistance
against infection and disease.
When these precious red-blood-
cells are lowered in number, due to
Overwork, worry, colds, sickness, or

Of appetite, pimples, boils, paleness,

Last Apple Estimate
Shows Increase in Crop

An increase of approximately 100000
bushels in the nations crop is indicated
by the November l estimate of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture over
it's estimate of October l.
The state of Washington shows close
to 100000 bushels less than was
indicated October l while there was
little change in the promised yield in
the other western states over the es-
innate of month ago. Most of the
increase is attributed to the north
eastern and southeastern apple pro-
ducing states, particularly New York
and Virginia.
The indicated crop in the nation
on November / of 85,155,000 bushels,
however, is far below the commercial
crop of 1O3, 776,0OO bushels harvested
in 1881.
Washington, with an indicated crop
of %, 76O 900 bushals is by far the lar
gest apple producing state in the nation.
New York with a promised yield of
13,650,O00 bushels, is second.
The indicated potato production n
the country is 359,847 900 bushels as
against the October ! estimate of 1856,
847,O0O bushels and total production
of 375,518,00O bushels in 1881. The in
dicated crop in this state is 7,014,0
bushels compared to yield last year
Of 100000 bushels.

State Hort. Association
To Meet in Weatchee

Orchardists and horticulturists from
all corners of the state will gather at
Wenatchee, November 30, December
and 2, for the twenty-eighth annual
meeting of the washington State Hor-
tculture Association in the Chamber
of Commerce building, according to an
announcement from the association
secretary, c. L. Vincent, extension hor-
ticulturist An added feature of this
years program will be an apple and
apple by-products show to be held
in the Nash building. Martha LoWery
home demonstration agent, will demon
strate the preservation and countless
ways of preparing local fruits for home
consumption. H. D. Poore and G. K
Macarthur are in charge of the by-pro-
ducts work.
Apple displays from eastern states
are already beginning to arrive and a
comprehensive exhibit of all Washing
ton fruits is expected. Fruits have al
ready been received from Illinois, Iowa,
New York and Michigan. Awards in
the form of banners will be given the
winners in the twenty-tray competi-
ton between commercial display
booths.
The program is built around three
major topics of prime interest to all
orchardists These include spray resi-
due complications, fertilizers, and or
chard insects. Experiment station men
from Pullman, government investiga-
tors, and extension service men from
the fruit districts of Wenatchee and
Yakima will discuss phases of the work
in which they have been conducting
researches and experiments. Promin-
ent orchardists will give their experien-
ces with various orchard practices.
A distinct innovation in this years
program will be called the "Question
Boz. This will be conducted daily at
p. m. Everyone will have an oppor-
tunity to ask questions regarding any
orchard practice or research. Each
question will be answered as completely
as possible by workers in that partic-
ular field. Many problems confronting
the orchardist are expected to be clear
ed up in this way.

Ready to Start Drilling
To Lower Power Canal

survey of the power canal at
Priest Rapids is being made this week
by Marvin Chase, in charge OF con-
struction. After the cross-section OF the
canal has been made, Mr.. Chase will
decide the extent of work necessary
to deepen the canal enough so that
power can be generated the year a
round at the plant
Since the bed of the canal at the
upper end is largely basalt rock, a
great deal of the work will probably
consist of drilling and blasting. A tenn
porary line has been built to the head
of the canal to furnish energy to OPP
crate the air compressor for the drill
ing, and the necessary equipment is
already in place.
Other work contemplated at Priest
Rapids is the construction of a bar
in the river across the tail-race be-
low the plant and the digging of a
short channel. In the past the river
at high water, has backed into the
tail-race, thereby cutting down the a.
mount of power generated and lessen
ing the efficiency of the plant. With
a bar across the tail-race and new
channel the plant will be able to
maintain peak production throughout
the period of high water.
A crew of ten or twelve men has
been employed for the past few weeks
in removing silt from the lower end
of the canal, using two teams of mules
and scrapers.

Red Cross Aid Available
For Needy and Distressed

Mrs: F. E. Taylor, in charge of the
Red Gross drive for membership in
the White Bluffs community, says that
she is meeting with ready response to
this humane appeal.
Mrs. Taylor, working in cooperation
with the Yakima Valley chapter of the
American Red Cross, will supervise t2as
distribution of government flour and
cloth to any needy and distressed ia
miles here. To date, Mrs. Taylor re-
ports that from the go sacks of flour
already received from Red Gross head
quarters, she has distributed to needy
families AZ sacks. In addition she ex-
poets soon to receive about 200 yards
of material, that will be made into gar
ments to be given out to those who
need them. The volunteer help of the
women of this community in making
this material up into garments will
be asked for as needed, Mrs. Taylor
says.
Mrs. r. w. MacDonnel has charge
of the Red Cross relief work in Han
ford where she has already distributed
ITO sacks of flour and expects soon
to receive 300 yards of cloth for dis
tribution, according to Herbert A.
Shaw of Yakima, chairman of the va
kima Valley chapter of the American
Red Cross.
although the distribution of cloth
and flour is the greatest task the AM
erican Red Cross has had to face in
peace time, it is only part of the work
that is being carried on by all chap
tiers as we'll as the local unit" Mr..
Shaw says.
"Our annual roll call, now in pro-
gress, will continue until November a. y
he said eft is vital for the continu-
alton of this endeavor that the men,
bership and donation support be as
generous as possible"
