headed by B. E. McGregor who
is loaded with a lot of tax-reduc-

art, chairman of the local COM
mittee has compiled a supply of
data which he believes can be
applied to the county budget with
good results.
The deliberations of the two
committees will be along general
lines but it is probable that some
definite program will be mapped
out for a lower tax campaign.

Highlands rs, Finley 10
On the home grounds the game
between Highlands and Finley
probably set the seasons record
for total scores made. The only
features Of the game were the
endurance shown by the High
land base-runners and the aston
ishing ability of the Finley pitch
ers to miss the plate.
Finley started off like sure
winners and at the end of the
second inning led the Highlands
by eight runs. After that the
boys from the hill settled down
and played a fair quality of ball,
while the team from the lower
valley went to pieces, principally
because of the wild work of their
pitchers.

OPENING GAMES Of
VALLEY LEAuGE
Continued from page I

AOuIluuCQ IIOu pdSS
Richland game was the speedy
playing Of some of the young
sters. Clayton Anderson behind
the bat and Ray Copeland on
third demonstrated that they can
travel in the fastest baseball
company the valley can afford.
The work of Prosser Wright and
Harlan Muncey also marked them
as Corners in the local baseball
world. Kennewick's lineup was
materially strengthened by Lar
kin who did the twirling for
seven innings, but Frank Moran
who started the game showed
that he carries sufficient goods to
entitle him to a permanent posi-
ton on the mound.

ITO begin with you already know that we are depen-
dent land we should be ashamed of it) upon these
countries for mauy, many of our every day nee
esstes and largely dependent for our luxures. The
calamity for it is nothing less which has befaen the
great powers of Europe, is terrible and the outcome
so uncertain that one individuals surmise is good
as anothers but one thing is certain the
is of short DURATION before the militia is disbanded and
the men resume their work the various factories the
number killed, wounded our disabled in way
other will materially make shortage OF labor and be-
fore stocks can be repenshed this side any great
extent, many months must certainly elapse When
YOU consider that nations representing halt the popu
lation of the earth, have withdrawn practically all of
the producing element from the activities OF commerce
and production you will know that it means great
shortage of merchandise for months to come. Such
conflict only stops production, but destroys that
which has already been produced. We are the only
neutral nation, large in geographical, commercial and
manufacturing 1t therefore devolves upon us not
onlyto supply wants and needs, but likewise to
feed and cothe other nations. Can you figure out any
other answer but shortage in desirable merchandise?
The merchants who in the market now are finding
a shortage of desirable goods. I say DESIRABLE
GOODS, for we can always find goods of some kind.
But the desirable goods, the kind you want the kind
that have the style and snap to them, have all been
bought from the importers by the early buyers.
Only few days ago received congrat-
ulatorv letter from kid glove importer, con-
graduating me upon my early purchase Of
Kid Gloves He informed me that had saved
for myself and my customers from $15O to
S4OO per dozen on the gloves had bought
early He also states that the war has paral-
lied glove manufacturing and shipping abroad
No gloves have left Europe since August 1st
and no more can leave until the war is over.
Linens have become household necessity. Just
stop for minute and think how many you have
for linens of the different kinds in your homes. You
know where linens come from. You know they don't
come from Indiana You know they all come from a.
broad. You know linens by these names, don't you:
German Linen-Irish Linen? Now do you think that
these warning nations going produce linen
or less linen? Less linen of course, and don't you
know that curtailment of production higher
prices Seven -eights of all Flax used in the European
linen industry comes from Russia.
There was linen salesman in my store
last week and after looking over my stock Of
table linens, linen sheetings art linens, etc.. he
made this rem ark: "You are certainly for

are subject to acceptance by us when re-
ceived. I am glad to inform you that have
large stock Of Linoleum in my store bought
at the low prices, and you will get the advan-
tage OF the low prices as long as the present
stock lasts.
l could go for day and tell you OF things, the
price OF which will be effected by the war; things you
use every day-Laces, Nets, Trimmings, fancy But
TONS Hair Nets, Snap Buttons, Hooks and Eyes and
hundred other articles. French Walls, German Walls,
Irish Crochet and dozen other fine laces all
from New York or Chicago, but from the zones.
Consequently the prices advance.
Here is a quotation from an importing house
which imports Laces, Trimmings and Embroderies:-
ut is impos- ible to guarantee prices or the
delivery Of goods. Nets have advanced 20 to
3O% and we limit all customers to one piece
each, style and color That looks like scarcity
and also looks like higher prices.
Japanese Silks, the kind that almost every ladv is
now using for shirt SITS, the erial all comes
from Japan and you know the little Jap we'll enough to
know that if they need the silk worm to help them
fight they will draft him into service Hence short
age of this much used article and higher prices.
Now you may say that the Americans can manu-
facture these goods. Not yet That is the shame of
it, we have not schooed ourselves for this In times
OF peace we should have prepared ourselves. These
foreign countries have been furnishing us with these
different things long that have bothered our
selves about it.
We have not yet arrived at the place where we
compete with them on the goods which I have
mentioned. We have not specialized on many of the
things which we shou1d have For instance oOd of
our dyes are imported from Germany. When it comes
to high grade dyes fully 1909 comes from Germany
At present there is only three months supply in
this country These dyes are coal tar preparations
in which German chemists have specialized Even if
the capital and skill were Forthcoming, it would be
more than six months before enough dyes could be
manufactured in this country to meet the demand
The price of dye stuffs has already jumped
1905. This means an advance in all other
colored goods manufactured here. It means
higher prices on domestic hosiery, silks, rib
bons, etc.
Do you know that all your sewing needles come
from abroad? Do you know that all fancy pins come
from Germany? Do you know that all D. M. c. Cot
ton comes from abroad?
And do you know that it has advancedin

into the manufacture of Linoleum is Cork

So far as we can learn there will be no

railroad station which was burned last
month. This will be a great loss to
Houston, as it canned peas as well as to
tomatoes.
About all the sweet pototoes from last
years crop have been sent to market, and
those who have stored realized but small
profits. This will not affect the present
seasons planting however, as there is
