socks. To make matters worse, the

We come from the hilltop,
The plain and the dell.
To cheer you onward,
From manhood to age;
Where nothing can comfort
Like catnip and sage.
Accept our kind Offering
Rejoice in our mirth,
Be clothed In your right mind,
And Stirk IN tho rth
Stop going barefoot
This time of year;
Put on socks, Charley,
'Tis better. my dear"

won a tie and stood among the con-

VOTERS WILL PASS
ON QUINCY PROJECT
State of Washington to be Asked to
Lend its Credit to Improvement
Long Desired by Valley People

Without costing them one cent, the
people OF Washington, save those liv-
ing in the district, can make possible
one of the greatest projects of agricul-
tural development the Northwest has
ever seen.
The state simply is asked to lend its
credit so that the bonds for furnishing
the money for this great enterprise will
be sold readily.
The state does not put up any
money and the voters will not, and
cannot be, taxed one cent for this i'm
provement.
What will it mean to see splendid
block of land, 100000 acres Of the
richest in the country. brought into
flower?
Especially when living in the midst
Of thousands OF acres of "king-pin"
agricultural land, the people of our
commonwealth go along tamely i'm
porting large per cent of the pro-
ducts Of the farm.
Then, think also of the great piece
of construction work to be carried on,
building the Quincy Irrigation System,
the thousands Of men to be employed;
also the tremendous amount of mate
rial to be purchased. And finally,
with the coming of the water on the
great Quincy Valley. of the wonderful
farm crops Of almost every product
known to the north temperate zone.
All this-without cent of cost to
the state and without the people being
taxed. All they have to do is to vote
ives" in the election this fall.
And why does it cost them nothing,
and the state nothing7 Because the
$50, 900 acres of land included in the
irrigation block are themselves capable
of bearing the bonds. Only the en-
dorsement of the state is asked. 1t is
asked because with the endorsement of
the state the bonds become readily
marketable and the money then avail
able for Immediately beginning work.
The people of the immediate
Quincy district have been working on
this for years. Finally, at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, they got the
bill through, and are now proceeding
under its terms.
If bunch of thirsty pioneers can
pave the way, fight out all the details
and make everything ready so that all
the voter has to do is say yes" in the
coming election-all without cost to
the state and without one cent Of taxa
ton to the public-what would you
think of the man who would vote

The effective blow at the closed
