That some day they'll discover what de-

I tell you, very often when my hands was
clean and white
I've gone along to wash 'em cause it did
no good to fight.
When I've stuck EN- in the basin it was
plain enough to see
The soap would make the water as dirty
as could be.
If folks would give me half a chance with
soap that didn't cheat

certain limitations have control Of
all its operations.
The districts already organized,
as Wenatchee, Hood River, Yakima

der their present organizations, each
becoming a sub.central of the larger

the ultimate cost of shipping and
marketing our fruit be cut in two,
making it possible for both producer

This latest move is a tremendous
step in the right direction, and we
must get behind it, all of US, and

our problems will be solved at once
or that the new organization will
move off without mistakes and fric-

The day I was twenty-one my
Uncle Sam offered me farm for a
birthday present. / had not fin
ished my education and [ did't
think much about the gift then, es-
pecially as he said the offer would
hold good until l married.
Uncle Sam is my uncle on my
fathers side. He has never shown
much confidence in my mothers
business management, nor, in fact,
in any of US women folk.
After I had taught a few years, l
got rather tired of the confinement
of the schoolroom and began to
realize, as most teachers do at some
time or other, that though teaching
looks, at a distance, very profitable,
in reality it does not give much OPP
portunity to secure competence for
ones later years. Then I began to
think with interest of Uncle Sans
offer.
He is generous in way, but has
some frugal ideas. He always told
us frankly that he was not giving
US the land to speculate with, and
he seemed afraid that we would not
appreciate the value of the gift. So
the chief condition he made was
that we should live on the land for
five years and improve it, before he
would give US our deeds to it. |
should have said before that he had
made the same offer to all his nieces
and nephews, except that he said
nothing to the boys about withdraw
ing the offer when they married.
But that is quite in accord with
Oncle's ideas.
Sometimes Uncle is better than
his word. When Cousin Jack came
back after three years service in
the Philippines, he accepted Uncle's
offer. But he had lived on the farm
ne selected only two years when he
received a deed to it. Uncle likes
The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1913-01-17

to encourage patriotism, and he
said that anyone who was brave and
devoted enough to fight for his coun-
try ought to be encouraged. So he
deducted the term of Jacks service
from the five years he required of
the rest of US. He offered to do the
same for Cousin Jerry if he would
serve in the navy, but Jerry pre-
ferred to stay on land.
Ithappened that brother and Cous-
in Caroline had chosen adjoining
farms. They got pretty we'll ac-
quainted and thought good deal
of each other. Brother didn't en-.
JOY doing his own homework, and
Caroline didn't like to split kind
ling, so they decided to marry and
continue improving their farms to-
gether. But when they spoke to
Uncle Sam about it he said he was
willing, only they would be one
family then, and would need only
one farm. They might choose either
one they wished but they could have
only one. They decided to wait
and not marry until they both had
their farms, but they seemed to feel
little hurt and thought that Uncle
Sam was rather parsimonious.
And really, you know, he does
seem that way sometimes. He has
let the people who work for him
bamboozle him most shamefully,
and some of his prosperous relatives
have worked him to a finish. Every
once in awhile he seems to wake up
to the fact that be is being tricked.
That makes him suspicious of the
others, and he imposes very ham,
pering restrictions on some of his
poor relations, often to those who
are trying hardest to please him. I
will say for Uncle Sam that l think
that he is better to his poor relations
than anyone else I know of, and he
is ve~v generous about adopting any.

For BETTER MARKETING

The nine men appointed for the
.,rnose by the epochal meeting OF
.he representative fruit growers of
.he Northwest held in Spokane re-
.ortlv have met, organized and in
cOrporated an association to be
lied the North Pacific Fruit Dis
tributors.
In reporting the matter to the
Kennewick Fruit Growers Associa-
ton, J. H. Robbins, Manager of
.ba Yakima Valley Fruit Growers
association, and one of the incor-
norators, says: The new organiza-
.;on is planned on lines in harmony
with our own strictly
p,O.operative and non-proft-taking,
ond is 50 framed that it must ever
remain under the exclusive direction
and control of actual growers.
"The representatives OF our asso-
citation were prominent factors in
ito making and we have reason to
hone for the continued cooperation
Of all districts represented in perfect
inc an organization aud plan of
GREAT and lasting benefit to all fruit
growers within the four states there
represented"
Nine fruit growing districts are
embraced in the organization which
covers all the territory east of the
Cascades in Washington and Oregon
and the fruit districts of Idaho and
Montana. Some of the objects of
the organization. condensing the
articles of incorporation, are:
/. To act as the agent Or repre-
sentative of the farmers and fruit
growers of the states named in dis
tributing or disposing of their pro-
ducts.
2. To establish uniform system
for grading and packing the fruits
and other products marketed thru
its agency, and to exercise Esuch
supervision of the picking, packing,
etc., as to insure to the purchaser
that all fruit sold through the cor
poration should be of the class and
quality represented.
3. To acquire and operate pack
ing houses, preceding plants, ice
factories, cold storage plants, driers,
by-products factories and such other
plants, etc., as may be necessary to
carry on the business of the corpor-
alton.
4. To advance or loan money to
the members Of the corporation or
those marketing through it and to
assist them in every way practicable
in growing and marketing their pro-

one who asks, and he tries to give
them all an equal chance, but he
is too lenient, and lets selfish peo-
pie abuse his generosity; then he
turns severe, and it isn't always the
guilty ones who suffer. He is fair
minded, tho, in this way. to those
of us who did follow out the rules
he laid down for US he gave the
farms he had promised willingly,
but you know it is little irritating
to have to conform to lot of per-
nickety regulations when you see
other people disregarding real essen
tials and getting the same benefits.
Of course these criticisms are all
in the family. I notice that good
deal of the grumbling about Uncle
Sam that is INDUCED in is just
sort of mild enjoyment of family
privilege. I must admit, too that
it is rather bad manners.
Personally I've found Uncle very
pleasant old gentleman. Eve got
pretty well acquainted with him
trying to understand what he wanted
me to do. He is always interested
in education, and very generous in
helping it on. He is public-spirited,
too, and he has given a good deal of
land and money at different times
to induce companies to build rail-
roads into unsettled parts of the
country. Sometimes, it is true, his
benefactions have seemed rather i'll
advised, but he meant them well.
He is very fond of trees too, and
has planted a good many in differ
ent parts of his estate, and works
very hard to prevent fires among
them. He is planning to do a lot
more planting, and he told US when
we chose our farms that if he de-
cided to turn that part of the estate
into woodland he wanted to reserve
the right to do so, but, in that case,
he would let us pick out farm
somewhere else in exchange for ours.
There are some of his nephews who
have used this generous offer really
to swindle-well, I won't criticize,
since it is all in the family. He used
to be very free about making gifts
of valuable timber lands, but | guess
he is learning a thing or two.
He has always been very careful
about giving away mining land;
when he gives any of his relatives
present he always mentions that he
is giving it to then to encourage an
interest in farming, and if they find
gold ar any other mineral on it be-
fore he has actually given them the
deed to it he expects them to tell
him and give the land back. But
that is fair enough.
In fact Uncle Sam is fair and
generous; at least I have found him
80. And. while we are talking
about it, it occurs to me that my
