PRIZE WINNER IN BABIES' PAGEANTS.
THAT most Interesting and fascinating portion of Immunity the baby-
Is going to take command of the ninth National Apple show at Spokano
November 20 to 25, It is announced by the board of trustees.
Several hundred mothers' darlings, dressed in their best bib and
tucker, scrubbed to a glossy finish and ridlug In miniature floats of novel de
signs and elaborate decoration, will be on parade each afternoon In the com
fortable apple show lnelosure. It will be the second annual Children's Carul
val, v repetition of the successful affair which aroused so much comment vi
last yenr's apple show.
Already scores of proud mothers have besieged the apple show manage
uieut with inquiries about the baby pageants, which have been characterized
as the most beautiful parades ever held In Spokane. "The apple show man
ageuieut,' states Secretary Gordon C. Corbaley, 'could not eliminate the baby
pageants if It wanted to. for we would promptly have an army of women on
our trail to make life iniseiable for us. So we are going ahead to make these
beautiful parades larger and more Interesting than last year.
"It Is difficult for our language adequately to describe these parades. It is
trite to say that nothing in the world arouses hucli real heart interest in peo
pie of all age* and classes as a little child.
"Conjure a parade of little floats, baby carriages, go-carts, doll coaches and
express wagons, each decorated with loving care by mothers and children.
Think of the concentrated beauty and the real heart Interest of such a spec
tacle. In the babies' vehicles and floats will ride the rulers of the home. The
larger girls will preside over their proudest charges In the doll buggies, and
the boys will show their genius by means of the express wagon, tricycle and
toy automobile. No matter how unlovely we may be as men and women, all
of us were beautiful as children, so everybody's children will be interesting in
the babies' pageants.
"There will be six divisions, one for each afternoon of the show. In add!
tlon to those just mentioned, the boys and girls up to 15 years of age will
parade in fancy costumes to depict their favorite characters and In attire of n
burlesque nature. The children who like to create things will enter miniature
floats In one of the parades."
TO GIVE AWAY PIES
LIKE MOTHER MADE
National Apple Show Has Novel
Plan to Popularize Fruit.
"What's the good of apples If you
don't eat them?" is I lie question asked
by Gordon C. Corbaley, secretary-man
ager of tlic ninth National Apple show.
The question will bo answered In a
novel manner at the show to be held
In Spokane, November 20 to 25. Mr.
Corbaley Is arranging to install a mod
pl kitchen in the apple show enclosure,
with six large owns working day and
night under the supervision of a dozen
chefs.
Here 10,000 apple pies will be cooked
each day of the show and distributed
free to every one entering the grounds.
Each admission ticket will carry a cou
pon entitling the holder to one free pie,
and the model kitchen Is expected to
be the most densely inhabited portion
of the show.
"There Is a big idea back of this
free pie distribution," states Mr. Cor
baley. "During the week tens of thou
sands of people will visit the show.
Every one of these will not only see
the most perfect apples grown any
where In the world, but they will have
an opportunity to sample these prod
ucts between pie crusts. Thus we
will be helping to popularize the apple
as the king of fruits."

WASHINGTON LETTER
NATIONAL CAPITAL NEWS
The High Cost of Living a Live Subject-
Dumping European Goods on
United States
The high cost of living is probably
affecting the people of the National
Capital as seriously as the residents of
any Section of the United States.
Prices of commodities classed as neces
saries of life have increased from twenty
five to fifty per cent, but wages remain
practically unchanged. The Associated
Charities announces great apprehension
as to the needs of the poor during the
coming winter, and the Gospel Mission,
which operates a cheap restaurant, says
it has never before had such a run a?
at present from the people who are
compelled to buy their food at a place
where they can get it at one cent per
dish. It is very evident that while
some people have profitted greatly from
war-order prosperity, there are many
thousands who do not find their incomes
keeping pace with the increased cost
of living.
A pretty good evidence of the effect
of the Wilson-Underwood tariff law on
our beet sugar industry, prior to the
outbreak of the European war, is shown
in our imports of sugar beet seed, a
product which we have been slow to
develop in the United States and for
which we hive depended largely on
Europe. In 1913 the beet sugar in
dustry was doing well, and the produc
ers had the President's promise that he
intended them no harm. That year
12,049.000 pounds of sugar beet seed
was imported from which to raise the
sugar beet. In October, 1913, the
Democrats welched on their promise,
the duty on sugar was reduced 25 per
cent, and slated for the free list shortly
after, beet sugar production fell off
about 25 per cent with prospect of
further reduction, and during the first 8
months of 1914 we imported but
4,700,000 pound? of seed. The im
portation fell to 3,030,000 pounds for
the first eight months of 1915, and
then the stimulus of war orders for sugar
commenced and the drum of the Euro
pean guns set life pulsating thrdugh
the beet sugar industry. Duiine the
first 8 months of the current year we
imported nearly 16,000,000 pounds of
sugar beet seed. And the Democrats
aver that Wilson put the industry on
its feet.
One of the amusing official pro
clamations issued on the eve of the re
cent election was a warning from the
Department of Justice at Washington,
that there would be vigorous prosecution
of any persons who used intimidation
or threats in order to prevent voters from
exercising the elective franchise. That
proclamation was directed to Northern
states. The Attorney-General hails
from Texas. If he wants opportunity
for the exercise of his powers as a
public prosecutor, he can find plenty of
it in all the states south of Mason and
Dixon's line, where practically half of
the voting population is prevented by
intimidation from casting the vote or
having the vote counted.
The political campaign is a thing of
the past, but the problem of the United
States are things of the present and
future. In one of his speeches at
Shadow Lawn, President Wilson rid
iculed the claim that European nations
are engaged in manufacturing a great
body of products which will be dumped
on this country after the war. Within
twenty-four hours after that statement
was made, the submarine freighter
"Deutschland" appeared in New
London, Connecticut, with $10,000,000
worth of goods direct from Germany.
When Germany can send us goods un
der such circumstances as these, what
will she not do when the war is over
and her ships are free to traverse the
ocean without let or hindrance either
from foreign countries or from protective
tariff law of the United States?
Just before election, many city
politicians were considerably concerned
over the probable condition of the
weather on election day. They seemed
to think that the weather would have a
great deal of effect upon the vote in the
agricultural districts. They argued
that in case of bad weather the farmer
would not go to the polls in the storm.
The fact of the matter is that the
weather has very little to do with the
question whether the farmer goes to the
polls or not. Some farmers will go to
the polls if it is too rainy for them to
work, while others will stay away from
the polls because they dislike to drive
on a rainy day. Some farmers take ad
vantage of good weather to continue
their work and for this reason stay away
from the polls, while others take ad
vantage of a fine day to go to town.
The weather probably influences as
many agricultural voters one way as it
does the other. The man who is real
ly interested in the outcome of the
political campaign and feels it his duty
as a citizen to record his vote for the
party and the principles in which he be
lieves, will go to the polls regardless of
the character of the weather.
Whether a man is a Republican or a
Democrat, whether he believes in a
high protective tariff or in free trade,
he can help the "America First" move
ment by insisting upon having goods
that bear the brand "Made-in-America"
Of course, the man who advocates a
protective tariff doubly helps the
"Made-in-America" policy because he
not only proposes to buy American
goods for himself but proposes to compel
his neighbor to do likewise.
Miss Flora Bousquet Is Elected
Apple Princess
With 86,770 votes to her credit
Miss Flora Bousquet was elected
Apple Princess from Chelan county at
the National Apple Show at Spokane
Nov. 20-25. She almost doubled the
next highest candidate for the honor.
Dr. Hoxsey May Take the Wilson Vote to
Washington
The Doctor was one of the Wilson
electors in the recent election and it
may fall to his lot to take the vote of
this state to Washington, D. C. One
member of the electoral board, after
the vote is cast by the seven members,
is delegated to carry the vote to Wash
ington. The selection is usually made
by drawing lots. At the state con
vention his friends wanted to send him
to the national convention as one of the
delegates from Washington state.
There were too many wanting this job
and to placate his friends they offered
to put him on the electoral board, with
no thot at that time that Washington
might go democratic.
Working Up Strike Against Farmer
Plans for strengthening the agri
cultural branch of the Industrial Work
ers of the World were discussed at the
meeting of the agricultural workers,
which opened at Minneapolis recently
with nearly 400 delegates present.
William D. Haywood, general secre
tary of the Industrial Workers of the
World, advocated a strike of all farm
hands in the midst of the harvest sea
son as one means of obtaining adequate
wages from farmers and compelling
"fair treatment on the part of the
authorities." Elizabeth Gurley Flyn in
dorsed Haywood's plan.
Killed 300 Pound Buck.
Roy Harris, a Seattle contractor who
spent sometime here two years ago and
saw the game brought in by hunt
ers, arrived here Monday, and with
Chris Smith left here Tuesday for the
upper reaches of the Chumstick, about
20 miles from town. Wednesday they
returned with a 300 pound, seven
prong buck.
Robert Taylor, a six year old boy on
his way home from school was hit by
an auto driven by J. H. Garrett, in We
natchee Tuesday evening, says the
World. The boy died at midnight
without regaining consciousness. Mr.
Garrett is proprietor of the Cash Gro
cery store at this place. The accident
was not due to careless driving, says
the World.
Rev. S. Probst from Kennewick who
officiated at the Luthern Church last
Sunday, spent several days here and
was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Koerner.

King Pip Returns to Rule Over
The Ninth National Apple Show
Gordon C. Corbalsy, Manager Na
tional Apple Show.
KING PIP wlli pay his nluth annual visit to Spokane and the Pacific
northwest November 20 to 25 (luring the ninth National Apple show. (
For six days the Jolly old monarch will hold court, surrounded by
tens of thousands of the finest apples of all varieties grown In the
land. Arrangements for his visit have been assured by the raising of a fund
by the business men of Spokane, who have selected a board of trustee* repre
sentative of every fruit district in the northwest to make plans for the 1818
show. Allen Melsenheimer has been elected chairman of the board, and Gor
don C Corbaley, managing secretary of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce,
has been chosen secretary-manager of the show for the fourth consecutive year.
"The purpose of the apple show Is purely educational states Mr. Melsen
helmer "The northwest has many millions of dollars Invested In the apple
business, and this show is held each year to provide a common meeting place
for the growers, where they may come to compare notes and exchange experi
ences as to the best methods of profitably handling their orchards and market
ing their product.
"This year there will be a series of conferences In which practical fruit
growers, business men, bankers, transportation officials and men who are tak
ing the leadership in marketing and every phase of the orchard industry will
participate. The conferences will continue four days."
Chairman Meisenheimer has directed that the 1916 National Apple show
be made the most beautiful of all, and unusual efforts are being made to dis
play the northwest's most perfect apples in nn inviting manner. "On the the
ory that all work and no piny makes .lack a dull boy we are arranging a se
ries of afternoon and evening programs that will keep the crowds interested
everj- minute," he says.
"On arrival at the show, which again will be held within three blocks of
the business center, each visitor will be given an apple pie on which to nibble
during the inspection of the fruit. Philip Pelz and his Russian band have
been engaged for afternoon and evening concerts in the apple show inclosure.
The big afternoon feature at the show will be a series of children's pageants
similar to those held last year, in which hundreds of elaborately and artis
tically decorated baby carriage!, go-carts and floats, each carrying Us land
of lataratUng babyhood, paraded through the show grounds.
"The eoprt of King Pip will be a brilliant spectacle in the evenings. Bach
of the leading northwestern apple districts is to select by popular vote a young
woman to represent that community as a princess at the apple court. There
will be six or seven princesses, including Princess Apple Blossom, who is to
be selected by popular vote in the city of Spokane.
"Another feature of the evening programs will be a style show, In which
a score of comely young women, wearing the latest things decreed by Dame
Fashion, will occupy the stage. This feature proved quite Interesting to the
women, and to the men as well, at last year's show.
"The women's department, which brought out 2,000 entiles of home-made
pies, jellies and a thousand and one apple dishes, will be given enlarged space
this year to assure facilities for the display of housewives' products from all
parts of the northwest.
"We have been advised of a number of conventions to be held in Spokane
during apple show week, due to the fact that all railroads have granted special
reduced rates of fare and one-third for the round trip from all points In Wash
lngton, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia."

Trying to Get Two He Got Nothing
The boys have a great joke on J. I.
Brownlow. He went hunting a few
days ago with some companions. He
professes to be a great hunter and
a sure shot. He was waiting for a
deer to come his way, when, by one of
those curious freaks of fate, one sure
enough did come his way. Whether
he got buck ague or why he did not
shoot no one knows. He says he saw
the deer but thot he would wait and
perhaps its dear companion would soon
come along and he would then get two
deer.
