"HE combination of braid or tape
with applique and stitchery is

needlework which present de-
mands for quick accomplishment make
particularly appealing. The braid or
tape is used for stems and is appliqued

oHNNY CHUCK isn't that kind
It 10 seldom that a member OF
the Chuck family refuses TO night
any one his Or her own size, and
when cornered by an enemy much larg-
er invariably will fight to the very END.
It is a matter of honor. You see there
isn't a. cowardly hair in the whole OF
Johnny Chucks coat He does not hes
itate to show a pair Of black heels to
an enemy whom he knows he has little
chance of defeating in a fight but this
IS merely good sense, not coWardlce.
It was lust so with the black Chuck
living in the field adjoining Farmer
Browns farm. Moreover. that CHUCK
felt that field belonged to him and no
other Chuck had any right there with
out his permission. 1t was q point OF
honor with him to defend his rights In
that field and drive out any other
Chuck who might intrude. So the in
slant Johnny Chuck climbed over the
stone wall and entered the held the
black Chuck felt that his honor de-
manded that he should drive Johnny
out.
AS for Johnny, he felt that his honor
also demanded Hght he naQ WHStPcu
for the sheer Joy Of being alive and that
whistle had been answered by the black
Chuck and that whistle had been
warning, a warning to keep out OF that
field. That was all that Johnny neeoeo
to send him straight into that held.
This was land of freedom, and no one
should tell him where he should or
shouldn't go.
Now. as the two approached each
other there was no thought OF turning
back on the part of either. Johnny
was perhaps the wee bit biggest. but
the other was younger, with all the
strength and confidence of youth. As
they drew near they began to circle,
each looking for an opening. Johnny
thought he saw a chance and sprang.
The other was ready for him and in a
second they we're locked together, roll
ing over and over, biting and, when
they could, kicking with their hlno
feet, trying to rip each others coat
with their toe nails.
In a jiffy they had forgotten every
thing but the fight. They had for
gotten that Reddy Fox might happen
along. They really had no thoughts.
only rage From time to time they
drew apart to get their breath.
Get out Of my field" growled the
black Chuck, showing all his teeth.
Drive me out! Just drive me out!"
Yetorted Johnny Chuck, in his turn
showing all his teeth.

no longer had strength enough to hurt

He gave up because he just couldn't
fight any longer. He drew back and
lay down to pant and lick his wounds.
Johnny did the same. Then when
Johnny moved toward him, the black
Chuck slowly backed away. He didn't

He backed away.

To us, pain Is bodily distress Of vary

Railroads Will
Reduce Freight
Rate on Apples
REDUCTION TO EASTERN MAR
KETS WOULD AMOUNT TO
ABOUT lie PER BOX

The fruit districts of the Northwest
have taken a new interest in life since
the recent announcement OF the trans
continental railroads serving this terri
tory that they had applied to the In
terstate Commerce Commission for
permission to reduce the freight rate
on apples to eastern markets from
81 so to $l25 per hundred pounds.
Fruit men identified with the move
for the lower rate are confident the
Interstate Commerce Commission will
authorize it's publication as the COM
mission has indicated that it recog-
nizes the right of the carriers to make
justidable rate changes.
The Commission has the authority to
require the railroads to publish the
new rates on statutory notice which
is 30 days, but it could at it's discre-
ton order the new tariffs effective
sooner
| 1t is estimated that the reduction
| will be on the basis of about IL cents
a box and will mean a saving to the
industry of approximately half mil
lion dollars on the transportation
charges of the $500 cars still in storage.
The move for the lower freight rate
was initiated several years ago by the
shippers of the West. They urged the
re- establishment of the old rate OF
$1.0O per hundred, in effect prior to
the World War While unable to pro-
| al t1au fool t1nn
reduction granted will be of material
benefit to the industry if the saving
goes to the growers.

Three Voting Precincts

AS a result of action taken at re-

commissioners, Benton county will
have three less precincts at the next
election. In addition, two precincts in
the east end have had their boundaries
changed.
Richland and Lower Yakima pre-
cincts have been consolidated and will
be known as Richland precinct. Horn
Rapids and Vale precincts have also
been combined and will be hereafter
known as Horn Rapids. And the Horse
Heaven precinct has been consolidated
with Highlands and will be known
under the latter's name in the future
At Benton City that part Of the pre-

be annexed to and become part Of

No Let-Up In Pest
Control Is Urged
~. y 49, u, .sFIs ! - 4
(By County Agent E. G. DurdIe)

One of the important things which
came out at the state Horticultural
convention at Wenatchee this year was
the feeling at least on the part OF
many that the last season with it's
very peculiar weather which was very
favorable to heavy second brood
should not be considered as indicative
of what is liable to happen another
year. Many growers at least feel that
another season will undoubtedly bring
much more favorable weather condi-
lions for moth control. This does not,
however, lessen the need for careful
program for the control of tbs pest
for another year. There is no question
but what there is a very heavy carry
over of moths, and anything that can
be done to lessen this carry-over
should be considered good practice II
it can be economically carried out.
Probably one of, the first steps that
should be taken is the proper pruning
of the trees SO as to enable the oper-
ator to do good job of spraying an
other year Trees should be opened up
and thinned out until spray can be
gotten to all parts of the tree and
still leave enough fruiting wood SO that
good yields can be obtained.
Because of the very heavy carry
over there are undoubtedly many or
chards where scraping would be ad-
vantageous. Wherever scraping is done
the loose bark should be collected and
burned. Disking of the ground close to
the trunks during the winter should
| do much to destroy many worms that
may have gone into the ground to
| cocoon.
AS Mr. Vincent pointed out during
the pruning demonstration meetings,
the fruit grower is going to get by
and possibly make little if he carries
his labor program just as far as pos
sible with home labor and yet takes
care of the preliminary things for the
production of next years crop.
Proper pruning, scraping, and dis
posal of bark, and soil cultivation dur
ing the winter should do much to les
sen the problem next summer, pro-
viding it is made community pro-
gram.

Christmas Seal Sale
Nets Nearly $40

Mrs. Wilkinson expressed herself as
being very we'll pleased with the re-

ready response given by nearly all to
whom the seals we're mailed. Three
persons, she said, generously purchased
the full amount sent them.

and provision for tuberculosis with that
which prevailed some twenty-five years
ago when he served as the first presl-
dent of the Washington Tuberculosis
Association, DR.. Clarence A. Smith, OF
Seattle, editor of Northwest Medicine
believes that the progress which has
been made is not fully appreciated by
the general public.
cit is hard to realize" said DR..
Smith, that twenty years ago there
were no sanatoria, or county nurses,
or in fact any law permitting public
officials to expend money for these
purposes The funds of the association
were practically exhausted, being less
than $500 when the Christmas seal
came to our notice.

our work the following year and car

noting the work not been made pos
sible by Christmas seals.
"The present seal sale is a matter o.
interest and concern to me as the ex'
tent of next years work depends upor
the response to seals now outstanding
