MOUNSEY AND OWEN
ARE ELECTED ON BOARD
Small Vote Cast at Saturdays Election
Gives Owen the Three Year
Term

The school election last Saturday
was quiet affair, but 222 votes be-
ing cast. R. c. Mounsey and H.
E. Owen were the successful candi-
dates, Mounsey receiving all but
thirty Of the total vote cast.
H. E. Owen was elected for the
three year term, receiving 1913 votes
for that office. DR.. Crosby was his
strongest opponent, getting SO votes.
The ballots used we're largely respon-
sibl for the election of Mr.. Owen, as
his name was printed on the Of
fetal ballot" while DR.. Crosby's
name had to be written. However.
there is no feeling against Mr..
Owen, the only objection being
raised concerned the length of time
he had been resident Of the valley.
There were but few scattering
votes cast, and five that were de-
clared illegal. James johnson re-
ceived seven of the scattering votes,
the rest getting but one or two
apiece.
For the next three years now,
there will be but one man to be
elected to the board each year.
Mr.. Mounsey's term will expire
next year, Mr.. Annis' the follow
ing, while Mr.. Owen will hold Of
flee until 1915.

Their object in installing this new

CONCERT A SUCCESS

Last Friday nights concert and
dance given by the Commercial Club
Band afforded very enjoyable
evenings entertainment for an audi
ence of about $50, as a result the
hands treasury was enriched by
more than SIS.
Henry Filler, tenor, of Walla
Walla, who was on the program for
four songs. was unable to render
but half his number, not having
recovered from a heavy cold con-
tracted the week previous. Though
in no condition to do himself justice,
the two songs given by Mr.. Filler,
pleased the audience highly, and it
is hoped that he may appear here
on some future occasion when in
better voice.
Other numbers on the program
which were especially we'll received
were the tuba solo by R. G.. Tripp
and the euphonium solo by his
brother Allen. These boys are both
thoroughly conscientious musicians
and their services are highly valued
in band and orchestra work.
A goodly portion of the crowd
stayed for the dance which followed
the concert and the floor was
crowded until a late hour.
The band is constantly adding
equipment and new music while
putting in two good rehearsals
weekly under Prof. Kimball's able
instruction. It is safe to say that
no community in the state will have
the opportunity of hearing better
amateur band music than will be
enjoyed by Kennewick people after
the open air concert season opens.

FARMERS TALK
ON GARDENING
Good Ideas Brought Out on How
to Get the Most and Best
Truck to Market

Essential points in successful
truck gardening were capably dis
cussed by G. V. Delepine and others
at the last meeting of the Kenne-
wick Farmers Institute. The main
problem of the valley farmers, who
are interested in truck gardening,
is to place the business on basis
that will insure winning in the COM
petition with Walla Walla. Local
products can be put on the city
m arkets from two to three weeks
ahead of Walla Walla growers and
there seems to be no valid reason
why Kennewick gardeners should
not be able to get ahead of the large
numbers of japanese, Italians, and
Chinese who have the business down
to a science and are able to get
maximum yield out of small garden
patches and command top-notch
prices because OF the superiority of
the product.
One necessity in growing the early
vegetables is to secure rapid growth,
as quick maturity brings with it
tenderness and large size. This can
be more easily attained here than
in the neighborhood of the Garden
City and the quality of spinach,
green onions, asparagus, green peas,
radishes, etc., is much better. To
be profitable, heavy stand on each
acre of garden must be assured and
this can be done only by heavy fer
tilization and constant cultivation.
Twenty tons of manure to the acre
are required, according to Mr.. Dele
pine, and thirty is not too much.
This should be fresh to be effective
for the ammonia which escapes when
it is allowed to rot in the piles is
one of the elements needed in the
soil. After the manure is spread
on the ground it should be thorough.
ly incorporated into the ground,
first by plowing and then by the
float. The float should lie taken
over the gronnd when sufficiently
dry to pulverize nicely. Before
planting the garden seeds, land
should always be thoroughly irri-
gated. Plenty of seed should be
used, for it is easier to dispose of
the extra plant growth than to ac-
quire it when deficient.
Constant cultivation was empha-
sized by the speaker as the key note
of success. Where this is properly
practiced, irrigation is very simple
matter.
Spinach grown ON m e REALLY
should be planted first about the
middle of August and this followed
by other paintings throughout the
fall. In this way it can be kept
constantly on the market in the
spring and the high prices of the
early season commanded. At the
present time, Spokane prices for
spinach are five and six cents
pound, and for onions and radishes
35 cents per dozen punches.
Because truck gardening has not
been taken up extensively in the
valley, the local merchants are still
shipping in vegetables from outside
points when home products are more
desirable from every point of view.
This industry is one of small profits
but, as Mr.. Delepine pointed out,
few cents here and there amount
to a tidy sum at the end of the year
and truck gardening can be made to
pay better dividends when the farm
ers learn just how to work it sue
cessfully.

BLAME ROOSEVELT.

Some Of the inside deals of the re-
publican national convention are Leak
ing out. 1t is asserted that Governor
Hadley Of Missouri, the hoor manager
for Roosevelt, had made such a favor
able impression on the Taft crowd,
that the latter made a proposition to
compromise on Hadley. e
1t was suggested that the contesting
delegations from Texas and Washing
ton would be seated and that the Taft
crawd would join with Roosevelt and
nominate the Missourian.
This plan didn't meet with Roose-
velt's approval. He determined to rule
or ruin and wouldn't consider any one
for the nomination but himself.
His attitude SO angered the support
ers Of Taft the latter asserted their
power and Taft was named.
There ID no doubt but that the nom
ination Of Hadley would have been
satisfactory to the rank and file Of the
republicans. He is not radical,
neither is he a reactionary. He is a
safe and sane man with whom the re-
publieans might easily have won in
Noyember-had Roosevelt been less
dictat0rial.

ANOTHER MRS. NATION.

Mrs. Mike Milan warned saloon
keeper at Marengo, H., that he must
cease selling liquor to her husband.
The saloonkeepsr paid no attention
to the Marning-and sent drunken
Mike Milan home to beat his wife as
Gual.
But Mrs. Milan was equal to the
situation. She calmly walked down
town and shot up the saloon--breaking
the glassware and driving booze GUS
toners to cover.
Furthermore, she advised the fleeing
saloonkeeper that she will repeat the
artillery activity every time he sells
whisky 10 her husband.
Mrs. Milan may not have strong le-
gal ground for her procedure-but
there probably isn't a court in the
country which would punish her for
for the indirect and somewhat original
method of self defense she has adopt
ed.

ALREADY ASSISTANT or REV.
WILLIAM SUNDAY is DOING
WORK PREPARATORY TO THE
REGULAR FALL CAMPAIGN or

Rev Mr.. Peacock's appearance was
in the nature of a preparatory move TO
the series of prayer services that are
to begin shortly. In it he gave his
ideas OF how these shall be conducted,
as well as indicating to some extent
the necessity of the work before the
various churches.
Before he joined the evangelist,

PICTURES THAT
| MAKE YOU THINK
A HEART INTEREST STORY IN
EVERY ONE OF THEM WHICH
is APPRECIATED BY YOUNG
AND oLD-sEE THEM IN Fo-
RUM BIBLE.

It has been said that pictures
speak a universal language which is
understood by all. Nothing will in
terest a child so much as pictures.
While most magazines and other
publications are Illustrated it was
left to the publishers OF the Bible
which The Forum and Republican is
distributing to illustrate this great
book of books
Every picture in this volume ac-
curately portrays a scene that throws
a true light on the particular subject
which it accompanies. Some Bibles
claim to be illustrated where they
simply contain pictures inserted at
random without regard to the sub
jects. This may be- said to entitle a
volume to the word illustrated" but
it must be admitted that such pic
lures have little value inasmuch as
they do not accompany the subjects
treated.
The object of a picture is to por-
tray the subject. Every picture in the
new illustrated Bible, tells a story
of its own. More than that, 1t makes
obscure passages and lends to the en-
tire volume a beauty that has never
been eqnaled in the way of Illus
trations.
This Bible is printed in large type
that is clear and distinct, making il
easy to read. 1t is of convenient size
and can be rolled up and carried
anywhere. One Of the bindings is
beautiful silk cloth. Both bindings
can be had in either the Protestant
or Catholic editions, but the latter
contains illustrations consisting of full,
page plates and maps approved by this
church without the Tissot and text
pictures.
