Sales Supervisor C. E. Bull and Salesman Kenneth Wrye of the Nalley's organization are now working with local grocers to ar- range summer sales promstion. Started by one man, Marcus Nalley in 1918, today Nalley's is a/3 institution made up of build- ig's, factories, warehouses ,trucks and supplies. Nalley's is a sup- ply point for several million housewives, and a sales point for thousands of farmers. Last year Na!ley's bought 8,000,- 000 pounds of potatoes, 5,000,000 pounds of cucumbers, and 370,000 pounds of cracked eggs in Wash- ington State. These Washington- produced foods were processed and packed by Washington people in Nalley's Washington plants. The payroll at Nalley's comes to more than $1,275,000 a year. By TeM Koting Bats are probably the most un- earthly-looking creatures, in the modern world. The "flying mice" have always been thought of as symbols of mystery, presagers of dire events. In reality, the bat is one of our friendliest neigh- bors. He is harmless (excepting the tropical vampire bat) and in the temperate zone mostly very beneficial to man. The prehistoric-looking bat is a nmmmal---not a bird---and it is the only mammal that can main- tain sustained flight. The "wings" are thick membranes connecting back and front legs, somewhat on the mxler of the flying squir- rel. However, the flying squirrel glides, while the bat actually flies. As a wizard of night flight, the bat is tops according to Writ- er Joe Austell Small. Guided by his own system of radar, the little'mammal darts, swoops and zooms through the black night with hardly ever an accident. Tiny squeaks, too high-pitched for the average human eat', emanate from his throat constantly during flight. When these hit an object ahead, the sound bounces back and is picked up partly hy his high- ly sensitive ears, hut mostly by supersensitive nerves in the I deli- cate skin of his bare wing's. Au- TIIOSTEN O. OI'SATA Thosten O. Opsata, 96, who had made his home with his son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Op- sata, at Belfair, (lied in a IJrem- erton hospital August 4. He was born in Norway and came with his parents to America when he was 14. The greater part of his active life was spent at farming in the midwest. He is survived by six sons, Os- car of Edmonds, Wash., Martin of Milwaukee, Wisc., Stephen of Belfair, Thee. of St. Joseph, MiclL, Adolph of Maud, Okla., and WiN liam of Minot, N.D., and one daughter, Mrs. H. W. Riede of Ambrose, N.O., ten grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren. Mr. Opsata, who was probably one of the oldest persons in Mason county, came from North Dakota three years ago to make Iris home with the Stephen Opsatas. Funeral services will be held at Lewis Funeral parlors in Brem- erton at 3 o'clook on Tuesday. MRS. ANNIE IJI,LIAM ARMSTRONG Mrs. Annie IAlliam Armstrong, former resident and pioneer in Mason county, died in a hospital in Grants Pass, Ore., on July 28. The Order of Eastern Star of Grants Pass performed the last service at Hall's Chapel on Aug- ust I. She was horn at Sharps Stage Station between Oroville and Marysville, Calif., on January 13, 1870. Mrs. Armstrong came to helton in 1898 where she made her home until 1940, aL which time she moved to Grants "Pass. A life-time member of Ruby Rebecca Lodge, she also belong- ed to Welcome Chapter 40, Order of Eastern Star, and to the Ma- son County Pioneer Association. She leaves her son, George E. Fredson of Los Angeles, Calif.; three grandsons, George E. El-. gene, and Robert G. Fredson; two great granddaughters, Carol and Sandra, and one great grandson, George, Jr. III, all of Los An- geles. In addition to the family she leaves many friends in Shelton and Grants Pass. Interment was at Hillcrest Memorial Park at Grants Pass. MATTIIEW A. MUNRO Matthew A. Munro, 88, fot' many years a logger in Thurston and Mason counties, died in Olympia August 8. Mr. Munro was born in New Annon, Nova Scotia, Aug- ust 4, 1861. He came to Olympia as a young man. He was mar- ried to Miss Anna Ellen Mathew- son on November 9, 1892. They celebrated their golden wedding in this city in 1942.

Their ears seem to be specially tuned to pick up the buzz of flying in- sects, on which most bats feed. The bat does not resemble, nor act like,any other creature in the animal world. Little is known about its migratory habits. A recent study of Bat Cave in Cere- al County, Texas, .indicated that females cbme to the cave year after year to give birth to their young. The majority of the males evidently congregate else- where. Bats have a litter of[ from one to four, depending on I the species.

RED CROSS SEEKS AID FOR FAMILY An SOS signal has been sent out by the local chapter of the Ameri- can Red Cross to seek aid for Mr, and Mrs. Lester Crossan and five children who lost all their belong- ings in a fire that razed their Sko- komish Valley home recently. The family needs such things as dishes, cook stove, chest of draw- ers, table and chairs, two beds, sewing machine, roofing and siding and school clothing. Items may be brought to the Red Cross head, quarters at the Welfare Building, or contact may be made by phon- ing 08, A SOCIETY OF PLANTS A stump ranch I owned back in the 1920's was what the foresters term "a society of plants" in a single ownership unit. Across the river was another farm unit, and another society of plants. How- ever, it was on the highway, while I had to use a rickety home-made ferry to get in and out. This single fact made my society of plants seem to be worthless in comparison with my neighbor's. On the other hand, my clearing grew thicker and richer grass than any pasture of my neighbor's pro- duced. His was a much older farm. His pasture had been over- grazed and it had been burned over a number of times. But he was located on a mar- ket road. I was not. And there were probably basic differences in the soils of the two places. Cer- tainly there were other differences that called for different plans of management for out farm forest lands. But of course in the 1920's and 1930's no plan that cost much in time or money could have been put into practice by either my neighbor or me for improving stump land or tree land. How could such plans pay us back in those times? In no way at all that we could see. Yet we were wrong. Everybody was wrong about that in those days. SOIL APPRECIATION We could have done better on management of fire. The heat that destroys dead ferns, grass and brush also kills seedling trees as a rule; if there are seed sources in the neighborhood a hard fire devours humus, parches soil until it is dry as bones. Instead of "helping the grass," fire will in time ruin the grass crop. For thIee hundred years the Ameri- can people have been using fire to turn tree land into grass land. On the true tree soil it will not work. On soil of this type the only crop that will thrive is the tree crop. In Idaho people used to take up dry-land homesteads, s ayin g, "Land that will grow sagebrush will grow wheat." Some nearly starved before they learned that this idea was wrong. It is also wrong when tagged on most land that grows big timber. Soil that will grow a good tree will not necessarily grow a good blade of grass. On true tree soil the crop should be a natural society of forest plants. Bracken ferns are nature's nurses for Douglas fir seedlings, for example. What else are they good for? On the poor-soiled back forty they should not be fired but used to bring up the new tree crop to sapling sizes. Many other plants play a natural part in the Little Egypt 4-H Youngsters [tohl Watermelon Event l I[y ( !onnie ( 'OIV:ln I BoV.q :rod .".'i;'ls in the I.illh" Sometimes, says tile Soil C(m-iEgyl L 4-It (.hlb gathered at l)ay- servation Service, gravell loam h)n hJ]l Ail:.ll.ql. l foi' limit l-otlt}l- soils that are not too shallow will ly meeting and for a watermehm make the farmer ]nore lnoney lh'ith feed.

These attitudes are far from as logical and sensible as they sound. For one thing', they obstruct the normal functioning of supply and demand and cur- tail needed production. As far as prices go, who can judge a fair price nnder existing conditions? Rare is the farmer who is ready to, concede that he is getting too much money for his product. The same is true of manufacturers and distributors of virtually every necessity and luxm'y, and where is the workman who would advo- cate a wage cut? It is folly for anyone to establish in his mind an arbitrary conception of a fair 'price--on the other fellow's goods. Many businesses nowadays are op- erating on a thin margin of pro- fit. One observer, commenting on the recent experience of the tex- tile manufacturers, pointed out that "they concluded everything was too high in price, and, urged on by the constant necessity of orders to run 24 hours a day, they have consistently and progressive- ly cut away their profit. Today -- almost profitless -- they still seek to run 24 hours a day." Prob- ably some people are still wait- ing for the price of textile goods to get down to a "reasonable" lev- el before they buy, The retail dis- tribution industry is another that is operating on an extremely thin margin--its profits depend on ef- ficient operation and volume. The annual statements of companies in all lines tell the same story. Survival deponds on volume. In reality the United States at this moment is nearer to production- for-use under the capitalistic -pro- fit" system than communism, so- cialism or any other theoretical social scheme could ever hope to achieve. The proof of this is all around us. Countless millions of cars, telephones, w a s h i n g ma- chines, gadgets, and abundance without end testify to the capacity of this country to fill the material desires of the people--at a price the people can pay. So why sit around in morbid curiosity wait- ing to see if things are going to pot? This country is going ahead, come what may. As far as prme goes you are getting your money's worth, and American productive genius and sc'ience have made available the greatest selection of goods for your use in the history of the world. So quit kicking, and t'y to quit worrying.
