caution."

There wen snowstorms all that
day and high north winds which
shifted to the east, sending the
temperature down and turning the
snow to hall which bombarded our

north as possible. Probably we'll
have to heave to somewhere tonight
to prepare for our first cruise un

SIM PHILLIPS
VERY BUSY MAN
The weather roan has turned
racketeer, or least to the extent of
putting Sun Phillips, manager of
the u. s.-y. M. c. a. employment
bureau, "on the spot".
Phillips admits tnat he occupies
the proverbial place located be
tween the person of his satanic ma
jesty and the deep, dark Blue, sea.
unusual weatner conditions nave
caused the ripening of the prune
and bop crops almost simultane
ously and If the weather continual
normal, then will be a shortage oi
pickers,'
On the other hand, It Phillips
favorably answers countless letters
relative to employment in the hop
fields and prune orchards, and the
weather turns rainy, there will be
a surplus of destitute families In
the district. Both conditions he
seeks to avoid.
Pears and peaches, together with
the early hops, have practically ab
sorbed the class known aa agricul-
tral workers, and requests for pick
ers of everygreen berries cannot be
filled. Many people are waiting lor
the hop and prune harvest and do
not want to trouble with the ber
ries. If Phillips advises people to come
to the district and wet weather
follows there will be hordes of
unemployed and non-selfsupport-
lng people. If Phillips tells them
not to come and the weather re
mains favorable, there will not be
sufficient people on hand to harv
est the crops ana he win be criti
cised. Phillips Is In a fine predicament
and a hot place. He has a nice Job
right now oh, yeah!
