PAGE TWO JENKINS, BOLSHEVIST, WAS QUICKLY CURED. HIS FAMILY WANTED TO PUT INTO EFFECT THE PRINCIPLES HE PREACHED, AND HE SUDDENLY DECIDED THEY WERE NOT SO DESIRABLE. There was a man named Jenkins who had a home, a job, seven sons and a grouch. He was a good pro- eider.. In his home he was boss. His wife cooked the dishes he preferred, chose her clothing to win his approv- al and asked his advice concerning everything. She did not question his authority. His sons acepted his word as the law and li%irred their :feet to a lively pace when he called. Jenkins had a grouch because the foreman in the plant where he work- eel wore a white 'collar and spent :most of his time at a desk, and yet .received a wage larger than his own; Imd bcluse the man who owned the plant rode In limousine and carried 4 Itlking stick. When e whistle blew for quitting time Jenkins would join a group af his fellows on the street corner and talk about the rights of the workers. The more he talked and the more he listened the stronger became his con- viction that he was opnressed, and he learned to pronounce the word "capitalist" so that it hissed l iJe a serpent, When he went home at night and sat, down to supper he entertained his wife and his sons by lecturing to them concerning the new clay that l THE MASON COUNTY JOURNAL FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, I920 ea WHY HE IS STRONG FOR LOGANBERRIES PT.

On this he raised $3,600 of be.tries and has orders to (late for 70,000 plants at $8 per thousand and 130,000 more to sell which an ad in the Post-Intelligencer would quickly dispose of.

During the season 1918-19 the larg- est but not the only fruit shipping exchang'e in California used nearly 15,000,000 wooden boxes for shipping oranges, lemons and grape fruit. These boxes required 135,000,000 feet "There's More Real Satisfaction" says the Good Judge In a little of the Real To- t, bacco Chew, than you ever I got out of the ordinary kind., i The good rich taste lasts so long you don't need a fresh chew nearly as often--that's ] why it costs you less to chew.

Jenkins kicked his chair over and "Yes, I'm sure," replied Jenkins. "We have groped in darkness, but we are near the light. I would be proud to have my sons learn this great doctrine while it is new." He Sees a Light.. When Jenkins came home the fol- lowing ecening he saw a red flag tacked to his front porch. For some reason he did not attempt to analyze he felt a touch of shame and glanced :furtively up and down the street to see if the flag had attracted atten- tion. Then hs face set into hard lines and he said to himself: "What matter? Someone must be the pio- neer. The boys have caught the spiSt. I am glad." The living room did not appear as neat as usual, and as he passed through the dining room he noticed that the dinner dshes were yet un- washed. He found his wife in the kitchen, smiling and humming as she went about the preparation of sup- per. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Been downtown all clay?" "Nothing wrong," she replied. "We have all turned Bolshevik, and I didn't feel in a humor for work this afternoon. I finished that book Mrs. Stallings loaned me." Jenkins started to speak but thought: better f it and went into the bathroom to Wash u1 strode to the front door. When he returned he held tattered red flag in one hand and aa picket from the fence in the other. His face was white and there was a steady light in his eye. "I've had a plenty," he announced. I started this thing, and I take the blame. But what I start I fini Either this family, here and now, everally and individually, renounce :ts allegiance to any doctrine, creed )r folly that is now or hereafter may )e associated with the color of red and here and now pledges itself to honor and respect the decent Amer- icanism that hag made us a nation or I shall 'consider it my duty as a man and a citizen of this glorious republic to lick hell out of every- body present." And then the Jankins fancily rose and fell on his neck and wept and explained "away the things that had affrighted him, and there was great joy in at household. The following morning as Jenkins approached the factory a hairy little man whose name ended in Witch" took him by the arm and said: "Ah, comrade, the day of our de- liverance is near.

Raspberries, gooseberries, chemes and other fruit all pay well, but I am not scattering my shots because I know when we get a million acres of loganberries on Puget Sound we shall have the richest state in the Union. If I were to go out on this penin- sula and wash an ounce bottle full of nuggets and come into Seattle with it, lawyers, doctors, merchants, print- ers and everyone would forget to change their starched shirts or go home to kiss their kiddies goodby. It would be one grand rush to buy a tent, some tools and chu'ck and chmb the next boat for the "diggings. Yet when they are shown something that takes less work, fs no gamble, gives six months'holiday with  money enough in their 4cans to enjoy it, they say, "Oh, it's exaggerated." Owing to the wide dissemination of news through the Post-Intelligen- cer people are coming to have me show them and prove the truth of my,statements. They come from Ok- lahoma, Dakota, Iowa and other states and one and all say, "We thought it was exaggerated, but yhy don't you tell it all ? We had no idea such a country existed, such a cli- mate, so comfortable, so exhiliarat- ing, nothing enervating like warmer i states, and yet mild enough in win- ter ancl cool enough in summer to be perfect." of lumber. Other fruit shipping I firms in the state doubtless doubled this amount. The enormous demand Insurance for lumber for box shook is having the inevitable result of raising the cost per box. ro insure a sufficient supply of box material and to keep the cost per box as low as possible, the various co-operative fruit asso- ciations of California are buying their own timber tracts, erecting their own sawmills and planning to make PAl N T their own boxes. Not many months ago a big fruit growers' concern spent more than a million dollars in the purchase of 30,000 acres of tim- ber land. It is now erecting a mill having an annual capacity of 800 carloads of boxes, the box shooks being made from the lower grades of lumber cut. SOUTURNS to property owners.
