AGENTS STUDY
NUTRITION s

Nutrition was the subject of dls-
cussion at a conference held in
Walla Walla last week under the
direction of Miss Miriam Birdseye,
federal extension nutritionist. Miss
Helen Steiner, assistant extension
agent in home economics for Ben
ton county, attended the CONFER
ence.
Miss Birdseye outlined the scope
and goals of a longtime nutrition
project, as well as interesting nu-
triton projects which may be car
ried on over a shorter period of
time. According to Miss Birdseye,
to really understand and practice
good nutrition would require prac-
tically life time. But the results
should be optimum health of the
family; optimlm Development in
intelligence, and greater economic
saving to the family as a whole.

Peach Picking
About To Start

Fruit shipments from the Priest
Rapids valley dropped to practically
nothing this week as growers mar
keted the last of the apricots, and
peaches were still too green to pick
While growers here received
steady returns of $40 per ton net
for their cots, the price fluctuated
considerably in other districts, re-
ports placing quotations as high as
$50 per ton in the Wenatchee dis
trict and as low as $50 in the va
kilna valley, with sales being made
between the two figures.
Rochester and Golden Jubilee
peaches in this district have all
ready sized up well and need only
a few more days of ripening before
picking begins. While rllmors have
placed the probable price for the
early peaches at IS cents to $1.00
per box, no quotations have been
made and no subStantiation of
these prices received.

TELEPHONE OFFICE,
HAS CONDITIONER "

Old Sol may bear down fiercely
this summer, but his rays will have
little effect on the Office of the Col
umia River Telephone company, an
air-conditioner having been in
stalled there ito keep the room at
a pleasantly cool temperature at
all times.
The conditioner, constructed in
their workshop by D. S. Wilkinson
and his son Dudley, at a cost of
only a few dollars, has been in use
since the first of this week, and
has already proven of great benefit.
The equipment consists of long
box, installed in the basement
beneath the office. At one end of
the box is a series of canvas strips,
which are soaked with a fine,
steady spray from the nozzle of a
hand-sprayer. At the other end of
the box is 12-inch fan, which
draws the air through the water
cooled chamber. Between the fan
and the chamber is a strip of cheese
cloth to prevent any water from
being blown into the room above.
The box is connected with the room
above by a canvas vent. $

Reymonds And B aldWinS In League Finale

One of the most successful basket- ball leagues in the city the past season, namely the Washington Park community house league, will come to 8 close this week with two games listed for tonight and two more on Friday evening. Tonight's games will show the first round champs the Raymond Hillies taking on the strong Baldwin Props in the first game at 8 o'clock while in the main game the defending champs the Community Club five take on the Tribunes.
 The Hillies and Community Club teams are tied for first place in the second round and Q win for both teams tonight will mean Q play of for second round honors. There is a possibility that if both teams win tonight that the two games sched- uled for Friday may be cancelled and the Hillies and the Community Club will play off the tie. A win over the Community Club team by the Doughboys would mean that the league would be all over but on the other hand win for the Kellymen would make 1t necessary for two out of three series to decide the winner.
 Props Confident
 The Props will be out in full strength tonight to knock off the Hillies and avenge their first round setback by the Gladneymen and even the count at one all between these rivals.
 Mike Sheehan and his Tribunes who failed to live up to expecta- tions in the second round will en- deavor to wind up their season with & win over the Community club team in what should be a bang up en- counter.

SPORTSMEN'S SHOW
 AT ELM CITY ARENA

New Haven, March 15-A gigantic cut-out map of New York state with flashing electric lightbulbs to indi- cate the "Sportsmen's Empire" will be displayed here at the Sportsmen's show this week as part of the great state of New York exhibit. This unusual map stands 12 feet high and 16 feet wide and has super imposed upon it the regions in the state where different kinds of game predominate. It took months to prepare and was one of the fea- lures at the National Sportsmen's show in New York week ago.
 Frank Dubinsky, director of the show, has arranged for some of the most unusual exhibits ever shown in this state. The civilian conserva- ton corps, U. s. department of agri- culture, U. s. bureau of fisheries, the county raccoons, the Boy Scouts, Scouts and the Connecticut Forest Girl Scouts, Campfire Girls, Sea and Park association are just few who will have unusual displays at tIlS SAlUWs
 Add to these, g tanks of tropical fish, the largest collection of reptiles in the world, an Indian village and hundreds of animals and you have 8 small idea of the magnitude of the show.
 Perhaps the most interesting ex- hibit for Connecticut residents will be that of Mus-soo-nuk, the full- blooded Eskimo youth, who brings a varied assortment of Polar equip ment to New Haven. Mus-soo- was educated in St. Michaels col- lege, Alaska, and is well equipped to answer any and all questions about his native land. He brings with him a team of Siberian husk- les two wolverines and blue and white foxes, in addition to a kyak, iglOO and Otherd Polar paraOhanalia.
