Silk busters.

When you get a collection of worn
out silk hose, make busters from them
First, make large mitten of heavy
material, then take the wornout hose
and cut in strips about inches
long; gather both ends together, FORM
ing a loop. Sew these onto the nit
ten until it is covered on both sides.
These busters are ideal for mirrors
and fine furniture. When soiled, they
can be washed and dried as are silk
hose, and can be used over and over
again.

Conquering Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS.

not be much inducement to disturb
the no-trump bid. These are delicate
nuances, all dealing with range of
only about a trick In combined pri-
mary and secondary form. These are
advanced bidding inferences and treat
ments, not rule-of-thumb system yard
sticks for defensive bidding procedure.
Examples to illustrate the line Of
reasoning are given. Do not take
them too rigidly. as you must always
be influenced, In defensive situations,
at least, by what you know Of your
opponents and their system; also by
their card-playing proficiency.
I am East. The bidding has been:
North, one heart.
East. pass.
South, one no trump.
West, pass.
North, pass.
With
sp. Ak Di K 10 Xxx
I double because I can take care of
the heart suit and can handle any
lead my partner may make If the
hand is played in one no trump
doubled. Take away the queen of clubs
and ! would pass, as the defense
might well be lost by a club lead,
which is likely to be my partners
natural lead. I would need some COM
pensating card in spades or K @ j x
in diamonds to double with x x
in clubs.
With
sp. AK Di. K 10 Xxx
Hts. Xxx CT. @ 10 K
I would double, hoping my partner
could leave it in, as I am well pre-
pared to carry through the line Of
play he may initiate by his opening
lead. If his business pass" rests
mainly on hearts, sight Of dummy will
tell me how to play the hand right
through.
With
Sp. AK Di. X J 10x
Hts. x Cl l0xx
I would double, as I can stand 1t II
my partner passes or If he bids. In
the former event he is marked with
considerable heart strength, and any
lead he makes will be perfect for my
hand; We can start knocking out
the protective high cards at once
in no trumps. or shortening declarer
in trumps if he rebids hearts. Weaken
this hand materially and I would
pass, as I would not have the same
inference on my partners reasons for
passing my double, If he could do so,
and their no trump loobs too good
a contract for us to disturb.

Of course, in spades. This hand is
within a hairs breadth of justifying
an immediate flrst-round distribu-
tional double.

Mr.. Sims Is universally acclaimed the

| hand opponent did not re-
bid his suit, but passed his partners
response of one no trump. That suit
Is probably only four-card suit; If
a f1ve-carder, 1t must be pretty
sketchy. If you have four cards in
1t yourself, headed by any honor, you
| need not fear their rebidding that
suit. In fact, you may expect to hurt
them more at two in the suit doubled
than In one no trump; If you have
less than this, then your partner is
likely to hold that suit against them,
| and his holding in it may be the
main reason why he passes your
double. However, this may also be
awkward for him in subjecting him to
double flnesse or an end play. So !
think you should have at least @ x x

your partner in the play of the de-
fense. This will apply as much if the
final contract is one no trump doubled
as If it is two in the openers suit

openers suit, you must have COM

other suits, so that you can be fairly
sure that If your partner does pass
your double. it will be because he has
their suit well taken care of-there
is not much else left for him to hold
in order to justify his pass.
How I View This Situation.
With singleton or void in their

because I did not make distribu-

Local Strawberries And
Cherries Go To Market

For the first time In several years,
producers and shippers have been fair
ly we'll satisfied with the strawberry
deal. Most of their satisfaction arises,
1t is said, from the fact that they are
now under a code, with prices for the
crop set. During the past week, prices
have dropped off to about SIPS per
crate, net. Prices earlier In the season
had ranged from $500 to $3.50.
While there are not many large
fields of berries In the valley this
year, a number of shipments have
been made by parcel post and express
to the coast markets.
First cherries to be shipped from the
valley we're sent May S, by Ira Flagler
from his ranch above Vernita. This
is the earliest shipment Of Black Tar
tarians for many years, and was
early enough to beat the California
shipments to market. Last week an
other shipment was made by Mr.. Flag
Ter and picking began on the Enyeart
and Clotia ranches at Hanford
Few quotations have been reported
on the cherry market. Tartarians from
the Priest Rapids valley have beer
selling for 8 cents pound off thu
walk at Seattle, and California Bings
loose packed, are being listed at q
cents.

Interest rate on new loans made by

sociations in the four Pacific northwest
states has been reduced to s per cent,
effective May 16, 1t was announced TO-
day by John A. Schoonover, president
of the Production Credit corporation

The reduction comes as a result OF
the Federal intermediate Credit BANK
Of Spokane lowering it's interest rate
one-half of one per cent. The Credit
banks reduction, which is the second
in two months, was brought about
when it's new issues of debentures were
heavily over subscribed in few hours
after being offered in the New York
market. The production credit system

Brockway Is
Elected Valley
Code Delegate
GROWERS CODE EXPECTED TO
ELIMINATE UNCERTAINTIES
OF MARKETING

A. T.. BrockWay was UNANIMOUSLY
elected at the growers meeting We'd
nesday night to attend the state grow
ers code convention as delegate from
the Priest Rapids valley district. The
state meeting will be held at Ellens-
burg, at date to be set later, which
is thought likely to be May 20.
Many of the other districts OF the
state have elected their delegates this
week also, with few still to be named.
Each district or community shipping
500 cars of apples is entitled to one
delegate There will be sc delegates In
all at the convention.
Mr.. Brockway who recently travelled
over most of eastern Washington, ad-
dressing growers meetings on the I'M
portance of fruit growers code and
arranging for the election OF delegates,
told of the work which has been done
in connection with the code, and what
the code is hoped to accomplish.
"One of the chief accomplishments
of the code will undoubtedly be the
practical elimination of consignment
shipments" he said when the Cali
fornia lettuce growers adopted code'
the immediate result was large in
flux of cash buyers from eastern
houses. AS soon as these firms knew
that they would be unable to get many
lettuce shipments on consignment, they
sent their representatives In to pay
J cash for the CROP
1T will also control production, thus
controlling the surplus, through price
control Should market conditions IN
-, dictate the desirability OF doing away
with culls, the price of culls can be
set so near to the price OF g grade
fruit that none will be sold. Should
there be large surplus Of fruit, the
minimum code price Of G grade fruit
could be set SO near to that OF the
fancy grade that there would be no APP
preciable movement of G grade fruit,
at least not until after the higher
grades had been disposed Of.
"There will be no penalty for grow
err who sells his crop under the code
price. However, he will have hard
time finding buyer for such FRUIT
as any buyer who buys for less than
the code price is subject to fine.
Under the code the dealers and retail
ers will be licensed. They will be held
responsible for observing the conditions
of the code, and when any one OF them
violates the code, his license will be
revoked and he will be subject to
penalty"

Presidents Policies
Upheld By Speaker

Discussing the change In national
conditions since March 4, 1888, q. F.
McAuley, Yakima attorney, addressed
the Priest Rapids Valley Democratic
club Monday evening on the accom-
plishments of the Democratic admin
istration within the last fourteen
months.
Mr.. McAuley, who attended the in
auguration of President Roosevelt and
the opening of Congress that spring,
told the club: by March 3, 1888, banks
had been closed In nearly every state
The public knew that we were facing
a crisis and that only decisive action
by the President could avert this con-
dition. When Congress convened, the
first bill to be presented after the Or
ganization of the houses was the emer-
gency banking bill. In the discussion
of this bill in the House, the Repub-
lican leaders said, in effect We do
not know just what is in this bill. The
house is on fire, however, and the
fire chief says that this will put out
the fire, so we will vote for it.
Nov that the fire has been put
out, these same men are saying that
it should have been allowed to burn.
They are finding fault with the meth
DDS that were used in putting out the
fire. After the fire has been put out,
some men can always look back and
say that it should have been done
some other way"
Mr.. McAuley recounted the many
benefits achieved by the CCC, the MIRA
the public works administration, ano
other administration plans for check
ing the depression. Some complaints
are heard of the N2A," he said. 1.-The
national chamber of commerce recent
ly criticized it. In March, 1888, how
ever, it was the same body that PLEADED
with the President to remedy business
conditions; for the government to take
over the functions of industry anc
commerce if necessary to check the
destructive competition and business
practices which we're rupturing in
dustry."
| There have been some minor faults
in the broad program the administra
ton has put over, the speaker said, bu
he urged the people To icMernber tn
conditions that prevailed prior to tn
inauguration of President Roosevelt
and compare them to the improved
conditions that we now have befor
criticizing the administrations pro
gram.
