ORGANIZE NEIGHBORHIOOD
MARKETING ASSOCIATIONS NOW

Now, and not just before
harvest, is. the time to organize
marketing associations for what
ever products you are going to
raise this year. No matter what
le 1s-cotton, corn, tobacco, pea
nuts, trucks crops, or what not
better prices will be obtained
better grading will be assured
and more business-like consider
alton will be allowed in every
point if a group of farmers will
sell together instead of marketing
individually. And if they are
going to sell together, thew
should have success predestined
by making arrangements now.
Those who, wait till the crops are
about ready to harvest will find
unexpected and unimagined de-
lays, and will only get experience
In 1915 when they will probably
need profits more than exper-
lence. AS the West Point Va.)
News says in a talk to it's farmer
readers:
The world wants all you can
raise this summer. It needs far
more than can be produced on
all our American farms, but how
Is your produce to reach the
place where it will bring you the
most money!,
Unless the farmers organize
and market their crops under
some cooperative says term next
summer, they are going to
be greatly disappointed with
prices. The middlemen are Or
gained; they know just where
to place every product and they
are going to push the consumer
up to wartime prices, and hold
you, Mr.. Farmer, down to over
production rates if possible.
Your only hope for a fair
division of this great wave of
prosperity, which is surely com
ing the next eight months, is to
get together. Form associations
ind plan your crops so that your
output may be combined and
shipments made in car lots, to
markets already arranged for -

The Farmers Wife.

d;so,ss;on of the condition of the
farmers wife. contained in some 2,ooo
letters received by the Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture, is one OF the mos'
interesting topics of the time. Inese
letters were forwarded to the depart
ment in response to So, QUO circulars
that had been sent to the wives OF the
crop correspondents. 1t IS reported
that great proportion of the replies
were cheerful and came from lntelllgent
and contented women who did not con-
slider themselves to be objects OF pity.
Some complained of never-ceasing
work, loneliness and isolation, and a
few of the writer's deplored the fact
that they were"forced to labor IN the
fields in addition to doing their house
work. There was also complaint OF
the lack of domestic help. This last
trouble is a serious one. The laborlng
population has been largely drained out
of the rural districts by the city factor
les. Where a woman has family OF
children to care for, Housekeeping TOR
the family and farm hands, poultry to
raise. garden to look after, pickles and
preserves to put up, she surely needs
help. Fortunately many of them nave
DAUGHTERS to assist them. But those
who do not have this good fortune need
holm and are oyerworked if they do
not get it. In the thinly populated
narts of the country there are isolation
and loneliness to contend with. But 1t
10 certain that farm life is far more
attractive than it was in the time Oh
our grandmothers. Cooking over an
open fire and heating the house with
open wood fires were far more burden
some than with stoves. Every we'll
equipped farmhouse now has appliances
which were not dreamed of genera
ton ago. There is the windmill or
gasoline engine that pumps water into
the house and makes the bathroom
possible; there are the ireless cookers,
the dishwashers, the washing machines,
the gasoline iron, the cream separator.
the improved churn and the various
conyeriences and appliances in the
poultry yard. In many parts OF the
country the farmhouses and barns have
electric lighting and electric power to
do much of the household work. The
community telephone has been po-
tent factor in relieving loneliness, and
the good road, if it passes near the
farmhouse, gives the housewife and
her family access to church, to meet
ings and gatherings at all seasons of
the ear. But these conditions prevail
only in favored sections. Their alb
sence has done much to draw many ex
celent people from the country to the
city, where the husbands become street
car conductors and motormen, police
men, clerks, laborers, etc. The wives
have no very luxurious living on the
wages received and the men work long
er hours and more days than they are
called upon to do on the farm.
1t takes a high order of intelligence
in woman to make successful mana
ger of farmhouse, and where that
intelligence is to be found conditions
are generally good, or at any rate not
very bad, and they are improving.

FOLEY KIDNEY PILLS
He Removed the
Danger Signal

81 suffered long time with
very weak back" writes Fred
Smith, 325 Main ST., Green Bay, Wis.
"A few boxes of Foley Kidney Pills
completely relieved me of all soreness
as strong and well as ever"
One cannot help becoming nervous
and feeling tired and worn out when
the kidneys fail to filter and throw
out of the system the poisonous waste
matter that causes kidney troubles
and bladder ailments.
Backache is one of Natures danger
signals that the kidneys are clogged
up and inactive. 1t is often followed
by rheumatism, annoying bladder or
urinary disorders, puffy swellings
under the eyes, swollen ankles and
painful joints.
Foley Kidney Pills get right at the
source of trouble They invigorate
the kidneys to healthy action and
when the kidneys properly perform
their functions the poisonous waste
Matter is eliminated from the system.

KENNEW1CK. WASHINGTON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER
MORE NOISE WANTED In
CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT
Chief Nichols Asks the City Fathers
to Purchase Siren Whistle
Apparatus

Fire Chief S. B. Nichols appeared
before the city council Tuesday eve-
ming and requested the purchase and
installation Of a siren fire whistle.
jle said the present alarm system is
unsatisfactory and argued that the
efficiency of the department would be
greatly increased by an alarm that
could be heard out of the block in
which it is located.
"An alarm system is really the
foundation of any fire-fighting equip
ment," said Chief Nichols. 'It mat
tiers little how well trained the boys
may be they can never put out a
blaze if they arrive at the fire too
late. Several of our boys live some
distance from the downtown district
and out of. hearing of the present
gong. We need more noise"
Mr.. Nichols submitted prices on a
modern electrical siren system which
will cost, including installation, about
$24O. The council referred the mat
ter to the fire and fire limits COM
mittee.

COUNCIL CONSIDERS
THREE ORDINANCES
Salaries of Policemen Reduced
and Crime of Petit Larceny :
is Defined tat

When next years police force is
made up there will be a saving in
salaries to the city Of SIS q month,
an ordinance calling for reduction
Of SIS a month in the salary Of the
city marshall and $40 month in the
assistants salary having been passed
by the council Tuesday evening.
Two other ordinances were intro
duced and given their first and second
readings. One makes more stringent
the regulations against throwing Of
rubbish or refuse in the streets and
alleys Of the city. Nails, bottles, brok-
en- glass are added to the prohibited
list as an additional safeguard to au-
tomobile traffic.
The other ordinance defines the Of.
Tense Of petit larceny and provides
for punishment for violations. This
ordinance was introduced at the re-
quest Of Police Judge Staser and in
the future petty thievery will be con-
sidered q violation Of the city rather
than the state statute. In this way
all fines imposed will be turned into
the city treasury.

TO HEAR ARGUMENTS ON
FERRY QUESTION NOV. Is
County Commissioners to Consider
Application Of John Tyacke at
q Special Meeting

John Tyacke made application to
the board of county commissioners
Tuesday for a license to operate a fer
ry across the Columbia river just be-
low the O-W. R. & N. bridge. w. D.
Church, who operates the Wallula fer
ry, holds an exclusive franchise for
about twelve miles Of river between
Wallula and half mile this side
of the O-W. bridge.
Mr.. Tyacke claims the commission
ers have exceeded their authority in
granting an exclusive franchise COW
ering such long stretch Of river.
He further maintains that in his pres
ent location Mr.. Church cannot ac-
commodate a considerable traffic be-
tween the towns Of Two Rivers, At
talia, Burbank on the other side, and
Kennewick on this side Of the river.
To substantiate this claim he filed
petitions signed by number Of res
idents of the interested communities.
The commissioners placed the appli-
cation on file and set November Is as
date when they will hear arguments
for and against the granting of the
second franchise.

l. l. LYNN RESIGNS
AS COUNTY AUDITOR
Gives Up County Job to Engage
in Business-Syffor Named
AS His Successor

County Auditor L. L. Lynn sprung
a little surprise on his friends and
the county in general by handing his
resignation to the board of county
commissioners Tuesday afternoon
just before adjournment Of the regu-
lar board session. The resignation
which is to become effective January
1, was accepted and J. C. Syfford, Of
Hanford, was named as Mr.. Lynn's
successor.
So far as is known Mr.. Lynn's res
ignation has no political significance
In a letter to the Gourier-Reporter,
he says he is leaving politics for the
simple reason that public Office offers
no future for an ambitions man., and
that after the first Of the year he
expects to engage in business in
North Yakima. ass e
With the exception of q part Of one
year when he edited the Benton In
dependent, Mr.. Lynn has been identi-
fled with the county's official affairs
since the spring of 1909 when he be-
came chief deputy for County As
SCISSOR ]. Kelley DePriest. From July
1910 until January 1911 he held down
the position Of Office deputy under
Sheriff Alex Mcneil and in June 1911
he was appointed deputy county aud
itor. When A. E. Verify died in
August, 1913, Mr.. Lynn succeeded him
by appointment and was elected audi
tor in 1914 by the largest majority
of any candidate having competition.
i Mr.. Syfford, Mr.. Lynn's successor,
is Hanford pioneer, having come to
the county in 1908. He is a North
Dakota man, having had ten years. ex-
perience in banking and general mer-
chandising in that state. In 1918
he was appointed county commission
er from the first district to succeed
H. M. Walthew and was elected to
the same Office in 1914. He later re-
signed and was succeeded by F. l..
Bash, the present incumbent.
Although Mr.. Syfford's appoint
ment is not effective until January 1
he will enter the Office sooner so as
to become thoroughly familiar with
the details of the Office before Mr..
Lynn's retirement.

BRAKEMAN BURNS
SHOT THRU HEART
Autopsy Shows that Bullet Had
Pierced both Heart and Lungs
After Entering Arm

Special agent S. c. Overstreet, of
the N. p, and Sheriff c. E. Duffy ar
rived in the city this evening from
Pasco, where they have been trying
to unravel Tuesday evenings murder
mystery. Although the days devel-
opments have thrown no additional
light on the identity of the man who
did the shooting, the officers have a
much clearer idea Of what transpired
in the murder car.
One point which was cleared up is
what caused the death Of Brakeman
Burns, who, it was thought, received
only flesh wound in the arm. An
autopsy performed on the body show
ed that the bullet had struck the bone
of the arm, and without coming out
had pierced the heart and both lungs.
The bullet, which was not recovered,
evidently lodged somewhere. in the
right side. The autopsy was not per-
formed until after two Pasco physi-
clans assigned concussion of the brain
as the cause of death. There was a
slight confusion on the mans head,
but the autopsy showed that the brain
was not injured.
In speaking of the wound Mr.. Over
street said: Certainly no criticism
can attach to either DR.. Crosby or the
Pasco physicians for not discovering
the nature Of the wound. There were
absolutely no indications that the bull
let had entered the body"
Murray, Gray and Sponner, three
Of the suspects, were taken to Pasco
today and questioned further concern
ing the crime. Each of the men stuck
persistently to his original story and
some of their statements were corrob-
GRATED by people in Pasco who had
seen the men before they boarded the
train. A
Upon his return from Pasco this
evening Mr.. Overstreet said: "After
piecing together every bit of scattered
evidence which we have been able to
run down we are of the opinion that
we probably haven't the man who did
the shooting. Certainly we haven't
sufficient evidence to fasten the guilt
either as principals or accomplices
upon any Of the men now in custody.
The negro and Louie Sponner will be
released tomorrow morning and unless
there are some new developments by
tomorrow evening the other men will
be given their liberty. We are OF the
opinion that Murray and McCalmont
are not telling all they know about
the affair but we have nothing on
them that will justify Sheriff Duffy's
holding them longer at the expense
of the county.
"It is pretty clear in our minds
what happened. To put it briefly
McCann, with the assistance Of Burns
was engaged in holding up the men
on the train and relieving them OF

McCann was armed at the time is NOD
known. No gun was found on 'hil
