Digitalis is a medicine used in relieving heart trouble and it is made from the leaves of foxglove plants which bear purple blos- soms, Mr. Lasher explained •to a Journal reporter yestettday.

Football Features Afternoon In the afternoon at 1:55 o'clock, American Legion color squads will conduct a flag-raising ceremony at Loop Field and five minutes later the third annual Shelton-Bellar- mine high school Armistice D a y football game will get under way. The largest crowd of the season is expected to be on hand for the game. Eyening observances of t h e Arrdistice holiday will be in the form of the annual Armistice Balls conducted by the American Legion and V.,F.W. posts, both starting at 9:30 o clock. The V.F.W. ball will be held at the Blue Ox pavilion a mile! north of Hoodsport with muste' I furnished by Happy Harrison's ,seven-piece orchestra. Harrison himself is a war veteran and a member of the V.F.W. in Tacoma. The American Legion ball will be held at the Union City Masonic HaM with The Hightoppers, an eight-piece orchestra direct from the University of Washington ! campus, furnishing the music. SCHOOI OBSERVE ARMISTICE FRIDAY Under a state law passed by the last legislature, Washington schools must observe Armistice Day on Friday preceding when the actual date falls on a Saturday or Sun- day, according tO County School Sdpt. J: E. Martin. "The law requires schools to de- vote at least aft hour's program to the observance of Armistice Day under such occasions," he pointed out. "When Armistice Day falls on a regular school day then the day is a holiday, decreed so by the last legislature. There- fore we find ourselves under the first circumstances this year so rural teachers are urged to con- duct hour-long programs as re- quired by that law."

' EXPOSITION COMMITTEES TAKING BIT IN BICUSPIDS Committee workers were speed- ily whipping their activities int working form today for the 1939 Shelton Merchants' Exposition which is scheduled November 20 and 21 in Lincoln g'ymnaslum, Co-i Chairman George Dunning and S. B. Anderson reported this after- noon. With a master plan of the in- terior of the gym and the booth layout in their possession, mem- bers of the booth sales committee began work today and report a highly encouraging respomm to their approach to merchants, Chairman I. H. Woods said. In fact, several volunteers approach- ed committee members asking for booth space before any effort had been made by the committee to sell space, he said. Space for over 40 bootls has been set aside in the floor plans for the exposition, Chairman Woods reports, and within .the next two days, or by the end of this week, every merchant in town will be contacted by members of his committee• ":It will help a lot if you merchants who plan to take booths will ha'e a general plan ready by tlie time we reach you," he said, "or better still, your chances of obtaining just the booth you want will be better if you contact us instead of waiting for us to reach you." Other committees also had their part of the exposition preparation well in hand. Joe Hansen, chair- man of the prize committee, had his prizes all lined up yesterday, the day after announcement of the committee appointments, while the publicity and advertising commit- tee likewise had outlined its work program and was proceeding along definite lines. Hansen arranged for a Zenith portable radio and a Westinghouse electric roaster for the two ma- jor prizes, one to be awarded each evening, and also was lining up as rapidly as pogsible lesser prizes ! I COMMUNITY to be given away each 15 minutes' of both nights of the exposition. A keno table 30x31 feet is in- cluded in the fiber plans of the exposition this year, one of the largest ever made here, if not the largest. Entertainment skits will be caged from a platform over the storerooms in the outh- east corner of the gym, at the back and to the right as one en- ters the building from the main entrance. Failure of WPA To Assign Here Brings Protest In an effort to discover why no W.P.A. assignments have been made in Masen county for the past three months, the Mason County board of county commissioners yesterday drafted a letter to Con- gressman Martin F. Smith in Washington, D. C., asking his as- sistance in the matter. The letter pointed out that about 50 family head in this county are in dre need of assist- ance, have been on W.P.A. before, and because of age and other han- dicaps are unable to secure pri- vate employment. The county, the letter said, has been able to supply some food to the larger and most needy f theme 50 families but is unable to cope with their other need, Shel GM Elected To W.S.C.

Booths for the bazaar have bee contracted up to capacity, Chair- man E. H. Faubert announced, with indications pointing toward one of the finest bazaars in th church's history. The annual chicken dinner held on the firtt night of the bazaar will be served from 5:30 to 7:30 Wednesday evening in Memorial Hail, diners then having the baz- aar features to take up their time and furnish amusement. Prizes of all kinds and descrip- tion are again attracting atten- tion of those who plan to attend the bazaar. Such things as blan- kets, quilts handiwork, ad useful home appliances will be put up as prizes while the booths, conces- sions and eritertainment features which have made St. Edwards baz- aars outstanding in the pat will again be on .hand for the 1939 event. Welfare Building To Get Basement Basement space beneath th Ma- son County Social Security build- ing at Sixth and Railroad will soon become an actuality for Pre¢ddential approval has been given a WPA project for construc- tion of a basement, according to a telegram received by the Journal today from Congressman Martin F. Smith. The project allots $1771 for the project, including footings walls and slabs, excavating, ingtalling floor'dralns, pipe railing, electrical Wiring and fixtures, doors, wind- ows and helving and performing incidental work. The project is sponsored by Ma- son County and work may be be- gun at the discretion of State W- PA Administrator Don Abel.

By proper picking a field of foxgloves can be re-harvested ev- ery 45 to 60 days, Mr. Lasher ex- plained. Pickers usually work only five or six hours a day at their' task. They are paid a cent Who's next l That's the question they're asking of the football sweep- stakes Shelton merchants are conducting in the Journal each week. Six weeks of the ten-week contest have passed now and six different winners have drawn the weekly $5 check for best foot- ball prognostications of the week. So who's next? The question |s rightly asked. Bill McMillan won the first week's test, Guy McKinney the second, Pat Smith and a half for green leaves, larger amounts depending upon market prices for properly dried leaves. Mr. Lasher pays bonuses for the the third, Betty Collier t he fourth, Palmer Robbrts the fifth and In Tiffany the sixth. So, who's to be No. 7 ? It will be someone who drops a properly filled out ballot, fotmd on page six of Tuesday's Jour- nal, into a ballot box at the Jourmti office, L. M. store, WiN son's Cafe, Bowling alleys, or H|llcrest Grocery by two o'clock Friday afternnon. That's t h e deadline.

He arrived there in time to spend the lat three days at the Fair which he called a good show but no better than the San Francisco exposition visited by him las t June. The weather was still mild at his last writing, although t h e storm which struck the east coast this week will give him k touch of real winter, and probably has- ten his return home. He referred to business condi- tions a showing improvement gen4 erally in the east although there is much uncertainty expressed as to the future with doubt as to what will follow the possible war boom.
