The apples are of un- usually large size, free from worm damage or other infestation to date, and promise to be firm and well colored. It is attained this year thru the co-ope bureau of standards, and transporta quate for the needs of the situation a promised by the Great Northern, the A. R. A. and t interstate com- merce commission co-operating to this end As to prices and market conditions, there is a variance of opinion. The whole country has a large crop of apples, but the buying power of the people was never greater, so a profitable price should be realized. With the heavy yield per acre, the grower uuld be able to show a profit at a lower unit return than usual. Activity upon a scale never experienced before will pre vail all the way from Trinidad and Malaga up to Okanc an, Omak, Tonasket and Oroville, and from the Mc Lake, Stratford orchards to Cashmere, Dryden and Pe- shastin. Probably 3,000 out orchard workers will be added to the “home guards,” making an army of from 10,000 to 15,000 people who will be busily engaged in handling the various phases of the apple crop har- vest. With any kind of luck, the 1923 apple crop should bring $20,000,000 into North Central Washington, This is indeed the climax of a whole year’s efforts, and the results should justify the hopes and ambitions of the community. the e hoped that an improved grade and pack will be ation of the federal on facilities ade- ses A Los Angeles “scholar” says that 96 per cent of the American people are below the accepted standard of Intelligence, But what could you reasonably expect of a “scholar” who lives among those movie “artists”?

One may find Get the Best Bids Possible The school board is pursuing exactly the proper course in advertising for new bids on printing. The first bids, quoting prices three times as much as last year (and in some instances more) are obviously unjustified. The most ardent of home industry champions demands the purchase of local products only when price and quality are equal to those obtainable outside. The school board should solicit bids from many locali- ties and award the contract to the lowest bidder, no matter where his plant is located. The Seattle printers appear to be competing with the plumbers for unearned and unreasonable profits. “China has no commercial crooxedness,” says a Harper’s writer. As you know, China isn't modern. “Oaths are conservative,” says a Bookman writer, who maybe never hit his finger with a hammer. “My ambition Is to beat Tilden,” says a tennis player in Sport.

Our Costly Insanity We Americans are mildly insane. We have “hallucina- tions of grandeur.” We imagine we are rich. We want what we want when we want it—and we have the money to pay for it, by heck! Waiter, keep the change. Hey, you! Give us a pound of this and a dozen of that. Send a yard of this out to the house. It is beneath our dignity to ask the price. This is expens cost of living. Consider a Wenatchee or Yakima apple. The grower got one cent for it. The railroad charged a cent and a half to carry it to New York. The cost of distribution by truck cost a cent and a half. Add a reasonable profit for the wholesaler, and the cost of the apple to the retail- er was five cents. The Hellenic gentleman who acquired the apple for a jitney polished it on his coat Sleeve and placed it with others in an attractive pyramid. A hungry New Yorker came along and bought it for 15 cents, A European would have said to the fruit merchant the equivalent of: “Fifteen cents! Where do you get that stuff?” And he would not have bought the apple. The American wanted to protest; he felt he was being robbed; but 15 cent. a piffling sum, not worth haggling about; so he nonchalantly handed over a dime and a nickel and went away, munching his apple. The “spread” between what the producer gets and the consumer pays is, of course, too great, but part of the remedy is in the consumers’ hands. A cent and a half in freight is too much to pay on a one- cent apple, A cent and a half is too much to pay for distri- bution. Nevertheless, railroad carried the apple from Washington to New York free of charge, and if distribution was free, the merchant would still charge 15 cents for the apple, because he has discovered that his customer is mildly insane and labors under the delusion that it is undignified to ask the price when making small purcha: One around.” ve insanity.

PIGOTT. | touc The Greatest of all Antiseptics What It Is Zeus is a concentrated, stabilized and perfected form of the Carrel-Dakin Solution | two eminent scientists. War hospital records show that it reduced amputations and deaths from infection over seventy per cent and saved the lives of hundreds of thousands _ of desperately wounded men. It has been adopted and is in daily use by the medical profession and in hospitals throughout the civilized world. By standard laboratory tests Zonite has greater germicidal strength than pure carbolic _ acid. It has about seventy-five times the germicidal strength of peroxide of hydrogen and forty times the germicidal strength of any solution of carbolic acid, iodine, bichloride mercury, etc., that can be applied with safety to the human body. ts In addition to its high germicidal efficiency, Zonite is non<poisonous, non-irritating, non- caustic and healing. It can be used freely and frequently on the delicate membranes and tissues of the human body without harm. What Until the discovery of this form of antiseptic, it was im- possible to introduce freely into the mouth and nose any antiseptic solution at suffi- cient strength to destroy disease germs effec- tively. Itis in the prevention of germ diseases, therefore, that Zonite finds one of its greatest fields of usefulness. During epidemics of colds, tippe, scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles, cough, sore throat and other respiratory diseases, when every sneeze and draft scatters millions of germs, Zonite should be used frequently as a throat spray and nasal douche. For Cuts and Wounds Zonite should be promptly applied to a fresh cut or wound to destroy the germs which cause blood poisoning and other similar forms of infection. In @ldition to acting as a disinfectant, it will shorten the process of healing and greatly reduce the usual pain and inflammation. As a Mouth Wash A solution of one teaspoonful Zonite added to one-quarter glass of water used night and 3 a mouth wash will destroy breath odors act as an excellent preventive against pyorrhea. Dental authorities have stated that the daily use of Zonite in this manner, together with regular dental inspection, reduces the likelihood of contracting this disease to a minimum. Sore Throat Nearly all the ailments of the throat are due to bacterial infection. pt relief, therefore, can not be obtained with@ut the use of an effective ger- micide. One part Zonite to five parts water asa gar- gle or throat spray usually clears up and controls throat infections, In severe cases, especially when ulcerations are present, the throat should be swab- bed with pure Zonite and your physician called. Be- fin treatment promptly when symptoms first appear, For Burns, Scalds and Blisters Zonite is especially valuable in the treatment of burns, scalds and blisters. It ts infection, aids in removing charred or dead tissue, helps to re- duce inflammation, and accelerates healing. It also lestiens scars and disfigurations that are apt to fol- low wounds of this character, For Personal Hygiene Zonite is the ideal antiseptic for i hygiene. Poisonous caustic compounds, such as bichloride of mercury, phenol and cresol solutions, etc., are tre- mendously harmful when used regularly for douche medication. Any physician will verify this state- ment. Write for the Zonite bsoklet on personal hy- giene for women, For Dandruff Dandruff (seborrhea sicea) and many other scalp irritations are due to bacterial infection. Zonite has proved remarkably effective in re- moving these annoying conditions. It kills the micro-organiams, dis- solves and removes the scaling in- crustations and exercises a stimulating and tonic effect on the scalp tissues and hair follicles, It Does For Catarrh Zonite affords a most efficient local treatment for eruptions Many of these yield to the " tion of Zonite.
