with sun and water, all signs of the
storm will quickly disappear from the
gardens, and with the welcome rain on
Wednesday, even the Horse Heavener

such a storm, we are apt to discount
the recuperative powers of nature, but
nevertheless, we strongly favor a
change in the weather bureau.
The State Grange held a very sue
cessful annual convention at Burling-
ton, June 6 to 10. With nearly 600
Changers in daily attendance, it was
the largest Grange convention held
in the Northwest, and we venture to
say that every delegate present felt
well repaid for the time and money
spent in making the trip. I.
, The first day was taken up with reg
istration, opening addresses and 40
mile ride thru the wonderful Skagit
and aConner Flats. An open meet
ing in the evening was addressed by
Governor Lister, State Superintendent
of Schools Josephine Preston, Presi-
dent State Federation of Labor, E. p.
Marsh, and other men of prominence
too numerous to mention. Wednes-
day the Grange got down to work, and
if there is any subject of interest to
the farmer or American citizen gener-
ally that was not discussed and
thrashed out thoroly, we never heard
of it. Peace and preparedness drew
the hottest fire, but no one was hurt.
Peace won. It looked to us as if the
Governor spoke truly when he said
that as class the Changers today are
the best posted citizens in the state.
Plans were laid for study and work
for the coming year, and it is safe to
say that with so many earnest men
and women backing REAL rural
credit bill and national marketing
movement as well as many other
movements beneficial to the farmer,
this state will be heard from in con-
gress and turnout the land. In many
other states the Grange is as strong
or stronger and with the cooperation
of the Farmers Union, the farmers
political strength is growing faster
than ever before, and the prospects for
a square deal for the farmer look so
much brighter than ever before.

This same old song has cheated many
a citizen out of his vote and bids fair
to cheat many more right in our neigh

some of which that slow voter would
like to sign, but if he isn't registered
by June 25, he'll find he is too late.

The Finley Grange is thinking of
asking Uncle Sam to provide new
weather man for the Northwest. Ed.
Beals has certainly not given us
square deal. After giving us an or
binary winter in December, he doubled
up on US in January and in February
he doubled again. In fact he left
streak Of winter running clear thru to
June. Then with utter disregard for
the established order of seasons, he
omitted spring entirely and last week
dumped summer onto us all in bunch.
And then, just to be contrary, he sud-
denly threw in the worst wind storm
for years and we are getting about
to the end of our patience. He prob
ably thinks it is good joke but there
is absolutely nothing funny about it.

Farmers caught late in the haying had
their hay blown clear away. With
buildings unroofed, windows blown in,

At the suggestion of "a Reader"
we have written to the Finley poet
asking him why he gave US a bum
steer on the word "chauvinist," and
we now publish his reply.
"There are two shades of meaning
to the word chauvinist, as is common
with many words in the English Ian
guage. Students of philology recognize
derivations. The one defined
as person imbued with an absurdly
exaggerated military enthusiasm was
coined jokingly by soldiers of Napol-
con in derision of one Nicolas Chau-
win, who was dippy about Napoleon.
The othe- is derived from the noun
chaw, meaning as much as is put into
the mouth at once, and the Latin verb
vince, meaning to conquer. Hence a
chauvinist is one able to conquer
and your use Of the word in
connection with Old Bill, Mrs. Ayers
rooster, was entirely correct.
We know Of no higher authority,
and the letter speaks for itself.
Almost every day we are impressed
with the advantages the man who no
tees things has over the one who goes
thru life without seeing the world as
he goes. Last week Glen Puderbaugh
