OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THE LOVE THAT LASTS

Ior an emotional stimulation and
imaging that either one const-
tutes real love, is just about the
same as it would be to imagine that
Eyou can spend all your life driving
forty miles an hour in an automo-
bile because you like the eXhiliration
of occasional speeding!
| Physical attraction and emotional
Stimulation fit in beautifully in a
love affair where there is liking and
admiration, too. But they are fairly
certain to wear out after a while, and
the thing that lasts is the basic COM
ARDESHIP which made it a safe and
sane thing for two people to unite
their lives.
WHO SMOKED THE FIRST PIPE ?
Who smoked the first pipe? OF
course you will reply, Sir Walter Raj
eigh, but this seems open to doubt,
according to G.. L. Apperson in his So
cial history of smoking. 1t has been
stated that Captain William Middle
ton, of MIDDLETON (son of Richard
Middleton, Governor of Denoigh Cas-
tle), a Captain Price and Captain
Koet were the first who smoked pub
licly in London.
Another Elizabethan who is often
said to have smoked the first pipe
in England is Ralph Lane, the first
Governor of Virginia. who came
home with Drake in 1886. Lane is
said to have given Sir Walter Ra-
leigh an Indian pipe, and to have
shown him how to use it.
The truth probably is that, who
ever actually smoked the first pipe,
it was Raleigh who brought the
practice into common use. Long
before his death in 1918 it had be-
come fashionable in all ranks of
society. Raleigh is said to have
smoked a pipe on the morning of his
execution, before he went on the scaf-
fold.
In November. 1911, curiously
shaped pipe was put up for sale des-
cribed as that which Raleigh smoked
ION the scaffold." The pipe in ques
ton was said to have been given by the
doomed man to Bishop Andrews, in
whose family it remained for many
years, and it was stated to have been
in the family of the owner, who sent it
for sale. for some 200 years.
The pipe was of wood, construct
ed in four pieces of strange shape;
rudely carved with dogs heads and
faces of Indians.
According to legend, it had been
presented to Raleigh by the In
dians. The auctioneer remarked
that unfortunately parchment
document about the pipe was lost
some years ago, and declared, "If
we could only produce the parchment,
the pipe would fetch S2,50O." In the
end, however, it was sold for 1915.

LOCAL EPWORTH LEAGUE
WINS PRIZE AT LIBERTY
Methodist Young People Are Awarded
Attendance Trophy for the
Third Time

For the third successive time, the
Kennewick Epworth League carried
off first honors for attendance at the
Inland Empire convention at Liberty
Lake near Spokane. They are now
the owners of a handsome oil painting
which has adorned wall in the Sum-
day school room of the local church
for two years.
The attendance contest in which this
prize was awarded is based on the size
of the league and the distance ira
yelled to the convention. This year
Asotin, smaller league, was close
contender and only eight points behind
Kennewick.
That the contest may be continued
thru another three-year period the To-
cal league has offered loving cup to
be competed for at the next conven-
tion.
F. A. Dunlap and Ellis Dorothy who
headed the local delegation this year
returned from Liberty Lake the first
of the week.

ORGANIZE GOOD ROADS
ASSOCIATION SATURDAY
Meeting to Be Held in Commercial
Club Rooms Saturday Afternoon
at Two O'clock

p. w. Trenbath, the good roads boss
has all details lined up for the good
roads meeting in the Commercial club
rooms Saturday afternoon of this
week.
The purpose for which this meeting
is being held is to organize Benton
County Good Roads association. In
this connection it has been pointed out
that one reason why Benton county
has been left out in the cold at times
when the state good roads pie was be-
ing cut was because it had no official
representation at the meeting of the
state good roads association.
One of the objects of the proposed
organization is to study closely the
road needs of the county and to go af-
ter a just share of the state expendi-
lures. The meeting in open to the
public and everybody interested in
good roads is urged to be present.

CITY CLOSED TO PRODUCT
OF UNTESTED DAIRY COWS
New Ordinance Permits Sale Of Milk
Cream or Butter from Healthy
Herds Only

Elsewhere in this issue there is pub
lished the full text Of the new city or
dinance regulating the sale of milk in
the city. Under the terms of the or
dinance the sale of milk, cream or but
ter is prohibited from any cow which
has rot been subjected to the tubercu-
lin test within a year.
The ordinance was drafted several
weeks ago but its final passage was
delayed when word was received that
state funds for conducting the tuber-
culin tests had been exhausted and be-
fore passing the ordinance the coun-
ell secured from DR.. T. B. Hauschild q
schedule for applying the test. In in
dividual cases the price will be SIS per
head, but where 20 cows can be as
sembled in one neighborhood the test
will be applied for 81 per head.

EARLY POTATO CROP
LIGHT THIS YEAR
Killing FrOsts and Continued
Cold Weather Cut Yield
Nearly in Half

Killing frosts and a cold, backward
spring cost the potato. growers of the
valley nearly fifty per cent of their
early crop. With 20 cars marketed
to date by the Kennewick- Richland-
Finley Marketing Union, the shipping
season is almost over when under nor
NAL condition there would have been
at least 40 cars.
Prices have been very satisfactory
the lowest price being $4,000 ton.
Inspector v. w. VanAlstyne says the
price will probably not drop below
$4,000 before the crop is entirely
cleaned up. s.
In speaking Of the small crop Mr..
Van Alstyne said: "The heavy frost
we had in May not only made the crop
from two to four weeks late and con-
sequently robbed the grower Of the
cream Of the early high prices but it
materially reduced the yield. Not on
ly were there fewer potatoes in the hill
than usual but the big ones did not
grow as large as they should and many
of the small ones have been't too small
to qualify in the No. packs. The
second cutting Of alfalfa has also re-
tarded marketing as many Of the
growers neglected their potato dig
ging to take care Of their hay and as
a result they will sell their potatoes on
declining market"
Not only has this years experience
demonstrated that the early potato
crop can be successfully marketed un-
der one control but the prevalence OF
scab has warned the growers that they
must exercise extreme precautions IN
the selection of seed which is from dis
ease-free fields.
About the only way to do this IS
either to devise some method OF sue
cessfully growing seed or send rep
resentative to non-irrigated districts
TO purchase seed from fields that can
be visited and inspected before digging
time.
Local potatoes have met with favor
in the markets of the Northwest this
wear and have come in for the best
quotations. A recent issue OF the
Dailv Produce News, Of Seattle, says:
"The very last Of the old potatoes,
Yakima Gems, have disappeared. The
Street has been cleaned out complete
w. with none to be had at any figure.
Remnants went at $35 to $36. A fine
now potato is now arriving from Ken
newick and is selling for $3.50 hum
dred the same as California"

ASTORIA RATE is
EFFECTIVE SEPT. Is
Interstate Commerce COmmis.
sion Denies Petition of Pa
cific Coast Railroads

The Columbia River as a regulator
of freight rates and as big factor in
transportation in the Northwest was
given further recognition Monday
when the interstate commerce com
mission denied the petition Of the Pa.
cific Coast railroads for rehearing
of the Astoria rate case. New rates
are ordered to be made effective not
later than September Is.
The commissions order wastes nc
words and offers no comment on the
situation. Railroads are merely or
dered to make new rates effective or
or before September Is. They may
put rates in earlier and are expected
to do so, if the tariff changes can be
worked out and published before that
date.
The commissions denial Of the peti.
tion for rehearing in the Astoria
case ends long controversy over the
question of whether Astoria should be
given the same freight rate on mer-
chandise as Portland, Seattle and Ia
coma.
In the original order the commits
sion held that rates east of north
and south line between Pendleton and
Seattle should be reduced to the Port
land-Seattle-Tacoma basis, but that
higher rates from points westward te
Astoria would be permitted. The rail
roads asserted that Astoria's geo.
graphical position did not entitle it tc
the same rates as Portland, Seattle
and Tacoma.

SAYS TOMATO IS
A COMING CROP
Richland Man Believes Big Mon
ey Can be Made in Growing
This Crop in Valley

The tomato acreage in the valley
has grown until some organized effort
to market the crop is deemed advis-
able. Thru the efforts of F. j. O'Brien
the Richland acreage has all been
lined up for one central marketing
plan and a similar effort will be made
here. All tomato growers who are will
ing to pool their crop are requested to
notify County Agriculturalist Lee M.
Lampson.
Mr.. O'Brien is of the opinion that
the tomato will some day be one of
the leading crops Of this valley. 1t
has been demonstrated, he says, that
tomatoes can be successfully grown
without danger Of blighting if the pro-
per methods of planting and cultiva-
ton are followed. Early maturity is
as big factor with this crop as with
strawberries and other crops which
have been consistent money-makers
for the Kennewick and Richland grow
ers.
The local tomato can be put on the
market in prime condition ahead OF
any other district Of the Northwest
and its only competitor will be an in
ferior California product. So thoroly
convinced is Mr.. O'Brien of the toma-
to possibilities that he had Banker
Johnson figuring tomato profits for
two hours yesterday morning. After
throwing away two lead pencils which
he considered unreliable, the banker
was forced to admit that a Kennewick
tomato patch will net the grower
$1,000 an acre-on paper.

RECENT RAINS ARE
BOON TO RANCHERS
July Breaks Habit and Brings
Growing Wheat Crop Out of
the Kinks

Who would have thought that the
hot, thirsty, sweltering old month Of
July would have pulled wheat crop
out of the kinks? Irrespectite of the
proverbs and traditions. July 1916,
has put on the reverse English and
made good as crop producer. In
stead of hot winds it has brought the
rains and changed the complexion Of
Horse Heaven wheat fields and decor
ated the farmers with smiles. s
A month ago things were in a bad
way out in the hills and crop prospects
were mighty slim. Today the crop is
measuring up closely to last years
average and is even going to best the
estimate placed on it. by officials Of the
First National Bank who inspected
the hill ranches last week.
What is true in Horse Heaven is
generally true thruout the grain pro-
ducing sections of the Northwest. In
his last report Hyman M Cohen, crop
expert of Portland says:
Every day seems to add improve
ment to the crops in the three states
and very conservative estimate of
So, Jos, 900 bushels made today may be
a trifle too low within weeks per-
iod. ~
This estimate is made after seeing
practically all the wheat in the lead
ing sections of the three states; the
fields being invaded in every district
to secure comparison with the same
fields in other seasons.
Generally speaking the crop has not
been a disappointing one despite the
fact that the total output will be
perhaps 100000 or even 100000
bushels less than year ago.
Without taking into consideration
the 1915 crop-which was bumper
one in almost all districts-tke 1916
crop is not nearly so bad as some
would paint it.
The truth Of the matter is that q
few short weeks ago there was little.
if any prospect for the Pacific North
west to produce any sort Of yield that
would compare favorably with any
other season. Now with the grain
rapidly ripening in the earlier sec
tions and harvest but few days away
the chances for the crop are improv-
ing daily.
1t has been an erratic season from
the start, with conditions generally
against the crop up to a very short
time ago. Two more days of extreme
warm weather that was shown about
a month ago, would have put the fin
ish of disaster upon the yield. It has
been a bad year for the poor farmer
and for the light land sections.
The hot weather literally cooked the
famished crop and was doing deadly
work when interrupted by rains, which
continued for so long a period that not
only was the damage by the hot winds
