developing and improving the tele-'

name. when the voice was directed

lions would cause the pin attached to

fact away in his mind. but 1t suggested
nothing Of special interest to him.

IAN unpledged delegation to the re-

presidential primaries ever held In
this state (New Hampshire). In the
only contest Of the republican side,
Frank H. Challis, Of this city. who an
nounced his preference for Theodore
Roosevelt, was defeated by George H.
Moses, Of Concord, who was unpledged,
by vote Of approximately 2 to L.

IL the reader who is at all versed in
politics will set over against this &C
ton OF New Hampshire the vote OF
Minnesota for Cummins, he will begin
to see why the west rather than New
England is going to afford the lead
ersnip in the national convention.
Anybody can see that It Will be i'm
possible to crystalline Roosevelt SEN

there Is q prolonged deadlock. New
York has sent an uninstructed dele
cation, personally opposed to Roose-
welt. The fight the Roosevelt men are
forcing In Massachusetts promises to
align another important delegation
against him. Nor is 1t to be forgot
ten that the bull moose convention
Is to be held In Chicago side by side

that the bull moose demands Will

OF course the anti-suffragists, are
q candid and honest lot but it must
be somewhat embarrassing to them to
find that most Of their strongest CO.
workers In the cause are brewery
owners, ward heelers in the cities and
men of that class They are afraid
the votes of women would in some way
be detrimental to their interests. But
the antis in Iowa are hardly to be ex-
cused for getting such a man as ]. B..
Mailing. OF Denver, to assist them. MI.
Mailing Is obnoxious for many reasons.
The womens Journal throws this side
light on him:
"Mr Mailing was for years the
henchman of W. G. Evans. the pro-
prietor of the Denver Times. This
fact Is undeniable. w. g. Evans was
one Of Denvers most corrupt political
bosses" and was driven out Of the
city, and finally out Of the state by
public Indignation. This is also I'M
disputed. 1t Is to the credit Of woman
suffrage that a follower and lieutenant
Of this particularly shameless and dis
honest boss should denounce votes for
women. Senator Helen Ring Robin
SON, OF Colorado. said in a letter pub
lished in the Women's Home Journal
Of Oct. 81, 1914: Mr.. Mailing trains
with the most corrupt element in the
state"
What do the anti-suffragists OF Iowa
want with such a. man as this stump
ing Iowa In their behalf? It's dis
credit to them and the side they rep
resent. But the antis can't work the
state without lining mp with class
that in large part they would be
found associating with at any social
function. OF course many ants are
the salt Of the earth but are on the
wrong side OF this question. .

Reynolds Resigns--
Eff. Blaine, Seattle,
Named as Successor

The resignation of c. A. Rey-
nolds, which becomes effective July
LIST, will remove from the Public
Service Commission of this state an
element Of turmoil and trouble that
has been present with the Commits
sion ever since Mr.. Reynolds be-
came a member Of that body.
With vindictive turn of mind,
accompanied bYw an indomitable
will, Mr.. Reynolds was never fitted
for the role of Judge but rather
that of prosecutor. He always
appeared at his worst as a COM
missioner when cross-examining
some witness who was not testi-
flying to his special liking.
In addition to his domineering
manner, Mr.. Reynolds was also
chairman Of the Commission, which
fact permitted him to inject his
personality into the hearings to
such an extent that there was con-
slant irritation between himself
and his two fellow members who
are inclined more to- judicial
turn of mind: IN fact, it almost
reached an open rupture with Com
missioner Arthur A. Lewis. There

Gypsies Ride
inAutos Now

A band Of wandering gypsies
fingered in our midst from Sunday
evening until Monday noon. They
were travelling from Yakima to
Spokane, with stop-over privileges
at all the important points.
Instead of the old-fashioned COW
cred wagons propelled by wealth
er-beaten and leg-weary bunch of
cayuses, this particular band of
nornads were travelling by automo-
bile. And there were no Fords or
the like in their equipment, either,
but Hudson 4O's and Michigans
and cars like that-six in all, and
loaded to capacity.
There seemed to be terrible
shortage of matches in the camp,
and the fair damsels Of the tribe
seemed obsessed with desire to
know the time O. day. These two
things furnished the excuses for
stopping every passer-by and also
provided the opportunity for sepa-
rating the young fellows from
some of their hard-earned cash by
way Of the fortune telling route.
Although they positively deny it, it
is reported that two or three of
the older boys were f1imfammed in
the same manner. Dave Boag

this is not true and that it was on.
ly some of the young fellows that
"potlatched" to them. At any
rate, an exchange of condolences
after the gypsies were gone re-
vealed the fact that there are not
many unusual characters in White
Bluffs. A striking similarity was
noticed in the fortunes Of all those
who fell under the spell sent into
q fever of fear and suspicion by
the account of the two unknown

Government
Market Plan

Under the government plan for
improving marketing conditions in
the northwest, the Fruit Growers
Agency, Inc, completed it's organ
ization and outlined it's methods
of work last Saturday, June 18th,
in Spokane.
The greatest problem confront
ing this agency is to get the grow
ers to take an interest in this work
and make use Of the government
assistance. The Office Of Markets
will probably not long continue it's
efforts to do something in this ter
ritory if the growers continue to
sit tight and not accept help.
The thing for the grower to do
is to ask for the uniform contract
recommended by the government
when he signs up to sell his fruit
to any concern. If the concern
will not include in its contract to
the grower, the uniform contract
recommended by the government,
then the grower should contract
his fruit to some concern that will
include uniform contract, if he
ever expects to get any relief from
the present chaotic condition of
marketing.
Up to date there are only q
few growers who have even asked
for the uniform contract. 1t seems
almost incredible that growers will
continue to cry for government
help to save a sinking industry
and then pay so little attention to
it when the help is offered.

Big Club Day
KennewiCh
July 7th

Plans are being made to get all
the school club members of the
eastern end of the county together

club institute.
The county has been divided into
two districts, one in the western
end and one irsthe eastern end.
This district includes the Hover,
Finley, Vernita. White Bluffs, Han
ford, Richland, and Kennewick
schools. In this district there are
over one hundred and fifty Farm
ers of the Future" studying and
working to show their parents,
friends and themselves that they
can raise pigs, corn, chickens, pota-
toes, garden truck, and can fruit
and vegetables. The success of
the boys and girls in doing this
has been demonstrated before at
the Grape Carnival and other fairs
Of the valley.
Among those expected to be
present are Mrs. Jones from the
state college, Mr.: Ackley, county
superintendent Of Yakima county,
Mr.. Newhouse, agent in charge of
club work in Yakima county, A.
C. Jones, our own county super
intendent, Mr.. Bienhart. one of the
most successful hog raisers in Ben
ton county, Mr.. Sellick. who has
secured remarkable results in util-
ity poultry raising, Mr.. Audrain.
who coached the championship can
ming team of the state last year,
and other prominent local experts.

Grow Berries
Grow Rich

Encouraged by the good money
received for the few strawberries
they had set out, practically every
strawberry grower in the valley
has announced that he intends to
increase his acreage, and there are
any number who have no plants set
out now who have determined that,
be it ever 30 small, they are going
to set out plants and pull out some
of that easy money next year.
