SOCIALIST THINKS PARTY SHOULD

INSTEAD OF RE-
PUBLICANS.
SAYS C. O. P, DEAF

Local Republicans take little stock
In the statement Of State Senator
Thomas. of Lynchburg, a Socialist,
concerning representation among
election officials at the polls at the
next general election.
Senator Thomas made the state
ment that. as the Socialists polled the
next highest vote at the last election.
and the Republicans none, the latter
party will be eliminated in the next
election.
THE law declares" said Senator
Thomas. that representation shalt
be had by the two parties polling the
highest vote at any preceding general
election. 1t is plain then that the
Republicans will be eliminated. for
they did not poll u single vote, while
the Socialists did poll considerable
number"
What They Think.
George A. Hanson, a wcll~known
lawyer, of Richmond, who mas figured
largely in Republican politics here for
number of years, said yesterday he
had been so busy for the past few
weeks that he had given the matter
little or no consideration, but he
thought the status Of the Republican
party stood as it always had.
Ridgeway Moore, another rromi-
nent Republican, said that, while he
did not wish to be quoted on the mat
ter, he thought the question might
require some thought, as 1t brought
cut n pertinent point.
Postmaster Edgar Allen had not
looked the question up, and was not
willing to he quoted, He appeared
to be satisfied that there would be no
change in the present status.
Merely Love Feast.
Melvin Flagenhimer, leading Re-
publican, said there was no reason
to fear that the Republicans would
not have representation in the polls
at the next general election. The
I last election was merely Democratic
ratification. Few people knew there
was another ticket in the field The
/ Republicans did not put up one, and
/ 1t is quite likely that many of them
! gave Mr.. Stuart a complimentary vote.
The officials will not look upon the
/ last election as a point from which
/ TO figure on representatives IN the
polls. They will figure from the last
real contest"

post matter, there was no delay In
working 1t on the first day.
The Richmond terminal r. p. o.
Will receive all parcel post matter
mailed in the eastern portion of Vir-
ginia and the Carolinas. and will
work it and route it, saving men in
the railway mail service on trains the
work of handlngs 1t. and preventing
congestion and delay In handling
other classes of mail on trains. A
ton of parcel post matter in bulk re-
quires on the average as much space
as several times its weight il FIRST
class mail, and with the steadily
growing parcel post business the
mail service would likely be swamped
If the former methods of handling the
parcel post were continued.
All parcel post matter coming from
other terminals to the Richmond ter
minal will be worked here and de-
spatched to destination in the three
States.
Ready For Christmas
After the system at the local ter
minal is In good working order, and
whenever there is time to relieve the
postoffice of the handling of mail of
other classes during rush periods
other matter than parcel post will
be handled.
The postofice department is watch
ing with interest the approach or the
first Christmas of the operation of the
parcel post system. The greatest
traffic in the history of the Depart
ment is anticipated. and every effort
J Is being made To prepare for IL one
of these efforts is the establishing of

will be handled without hitch.

NORTH PACIFIC FRUIT
Distributors

The trustees of the North Pacific
Fruit distributors are to meet in
March to further perfect the plans
of organization. Several of the
trustees have been in the east in
vestigating the market conditions
for themselves so that they may in
diligently handle the problems that
are sure to loom large and difficult
before them when they come to the
task of harmonizing all the interests
involved and solving the question of
handling such an immense volume
of business as this organization con-
templates.
The February number of Better
Fruit gives brief sketch of each of
these trustees and the district they
represent. Surely if such an en-
terprize can be launched these would
seem to be the men to do it. And
from the reports that came of some
of their preliminary work, one would
think that they are going at the
work wisely.
1t is estimated that $4,000, 900
are invested in the fruit business of
the four states, Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana, whichcom
prise the territory of this organiza-
ton, and it will take time and much
wisdom and great executive ability
to organize and manage an associa-
ton that will handle the output of
such an investment. It will need
men of the largest caliber and the
keenest business insight and widest
experience. We are hopeful that
they have been found.

that most of the. manure produced
in the city is carted out to the near
by orchards and field, but l dare
say that large percentage II Its
value is lost before the cart comes
for it. This loss comes from lack
of care for the liquid manure, from
teaching as the manure is scattered
over the yard, by destructive heat
ing in the manure pile, and by the
many other ways in which manure
may deteriorate. To avoid this loss
the following suggestions are made
by Mr.. Hart: Provide water tight
floors or cutters back of the animals.
use bedding enough to absorb all
the liquid excrement.
"Where possible to do so apply
the manure to the fields as fast as
it is made.
when impossible to haul the
manure directly to the field as it is
made, pile it in compact piles with
perpendicular sides and at least
six feet high.
Keep the manure pile moist and
compact.
"When the manure must be stored
mixing the excrement of the differ
ent classes of farm animals will help
insure moist mass.
Reinforcing the manure, where
the land especially needs these
minerals with rock phosphate (4O
poundsto the ton)is good practice. :"
Personally, I do not believe that
our land here needs the extra
mineral matter now. What it
needs is more humus, more nitro
genous matter and the best source
for this is barn-yard manure.
When a sufficient amount of this
cannot be secured as green manures,
clover or vetch or some leguminous
crop is best for this purpose.
But let us see that the waste in
Kennewick ceases. not only on our
own places but also in the city.
Arrangements could be easily made
with friends in town to care for the
manure which we wish to purchase,
according to the approved method.
The add ed cost will be money well
invested.

CONSERVATION OF FERTILIZERS

Conservation is coming to be a
very familiar word. 1t means
Simply the saving of valuable pro-
ducts or natural resources that
would otherwise go to waste. Here
tofore the country has been so wide
extended, the unoccupied areas so
great, that little thought has been
given in much OF the area of the
United States to means of conserv-
ing the fertility of the soil or the
pro d u is of the farm that
might 60 to help the soil to perform
its function in the most effective
and economical way. For instance
the Live Stock Journal quotes with
approval an assertion by E. B.
Hart that Wisconsin's annual
manure waste is at least 25 millions
OF dollars. 1t is probable that the
other states of the Middle West are
not far behind Wisconsin in the
percentage of waste SO the sum
total would be enormous.
The farmers are beginning to real
ize that such prodigality in the
matter Of fertilizers is coming to be
almost national crime. They are
going to school to the states of con.
tinental Europe where soilfertility is
so carefully conserved that instesd of
wearing out'' as our soils do here,
annual production per acre is in
creasing, and soils that have been
cropped for centuries are more pro-
ductive than the almost virgin soils
of the Mississippi Valley.
Through bad management, fail
ure to understand the cause or ig-
norance of how to apply the remedy
thousands of farms in the eastern
and middle states, once productive
are now deserted or so unproductive
as to be almost worthless.
The work of the agricultural de-
partment at Washington, the un-
renting zeal of the agricultural
experts in the State Colleges and
in the experiment stations and
demonstration farms, the co.opera-
tive work of the railroads and
commercial bodies everywhere in
the land, reinforced and brought
home to every intelligent farmer by
the agricultural papers; and now
in these early years of the twentieth
century. and never before, by the
general newspapers of the land; all
these are bringing tremendous in
fuences to bear toward conservation
of all that tends to increase and
cheaper production of the necessi-
ties of life.
So we, as said, are coming to
look upon the waste so prevalent
as national crime, and are study
ing ways and means of bringing
about reform. And in this con-
nection. | wonder how it is with
us in Kennewick. How many
hundreds, or may it be thousands,
Of dollars worth of manurial values
go to waste here annually, both in
J the city and outside of it? l < now

"One of those - line cars (named

Obituary.

Another of Gods aged servants ex-
changed her robe of mortality for one
of Immortality Grandma Cross has
passed on to her heavenly rest. 1t
was only a few days ago that we
visited with and found her in good
spirits and reasonably good health
for one of her age. But she was soon
in the grasp of pain and her advanced
age made it impossible for her to re-
cover. Sunday morning about 800
O'Clock her spirit broke the casket of
clay in which it had dwelt for more
than four score years and went home
to God.
Grandma Cross had lived here for
more than thirty years and was we'll
known and well respected. From
childhood she had placed her faith in
Christ. She was reared in the Ger
man Reform church, but on coming
to Kansas she united with the
Methodist Episcopal church. Mar
garet A. Cross was born in Davidson
county, North Carolina, August 1,
1929, and died October 5. 1913, having
reached the good old age of S4 years,
? months and 5 days. She was united
in marriage to Abraham Cross May
1S49. She was the mother of four
children, three OF whom are still
living. Her companion preceded her
to the better land nearly a year ago,
having died the 2Sth of last October
::'Servant of God, well done,
Thy glorious warfare's past,
The battle fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last"
The funeral services were conduc-
ted from the Methodist church Mon
day morning at 1000 O'Clock by the
pastor. The body was inferred in
Mt. Hope cemetery.-Ellis Headlight.

Last Sunday, October 18th, at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. P. A Nelson
of Ogallah occurred the marriage of
their daughter, Amanda, to Mr. VIM.
FL. Harvey. The ceremony was per-
formed at $50 p. M. by Rev. c. W.
Harper, pastor of the Congregational
church of Ellis in the presence of the
relatives and about forty guests. The
rooms were beautifully decorated in
flowers and autumn foliage. The
bride was becomingly gowned in a
dainty white null and the groom
wore the conventional suit of dark
blue. Many choice and valuable gifts
were received. After the ceremony a
delicious three course dinner was
served.
The bride is widely known in Trego
county and is one of our choicest
plished in all the arts that
are so necessary to the establishment
of a happy home and the groom is to
be congratulated on winning such a
companion for life's journey. Mr..
Harvey is also well known and is a
successful young farmer. He is a
man of sterling worth and character
and has the confidence and respect of
all who know him. The young people
will reside on farm near the groom S
parents. The World extends hearty
congratulations.
