should sell milk in Kennewick without
paying an annual license fee of $500,
$4,000 or $500 and that only such
persons should be licensed as keep
their herds and stables in clean, san
itary condition and milk only tubercu-
lin tested cows, would not only serve
the entire purpose but would put an
effectual stop to the little one-horse
iairyman who peddles mixtur #
milk and filth at cut rates. These I'M
sanitary and slovenly dairymen are a
greater menace to the health of Ken
newick than all the tubercular cows
in the valley.
The Grange has favored compulsory
tuberculin tests where those benefited
help pay the bill, but unalterably OPP
poses throwing such burden entire-
ly on the farmer for the benefit of
someone else.
Mail Carrier Oliver is taking his va
cation and his son is COMMANDMENT
chief of the mail bus these days. Last
year, when he was promoted to the
position on a similar occasion, one of
the new patrons asked him who he
was. "Don't you know" he replied,
'Why, I'm my fathers son."
Some kind-hearted citizen (from
Kennewick) who was too tender heart
ed to drown litter of kittens, took
the old cat end four kitten out in an
auto and dumped them out in the sage
brush near Roy Wells pump house.
Never you mind, Mr.. Tender Heart,
we've sliced the tin can detective on
you and he'll get your number yet.
Frank Lyons has rugged up cable
stacker and g double harpoon fork for
stacking his hay. It was little slow
at first but by the time he had finished
his second cutting he could unload a
wagon in 10 forkfuls, and expects to
get it down to IL OF Is before the sea-
son is ended. He says it requires a
lot of skill to set the fork so it will
take load.
At A.. F. Woodward's, the bees have
been holding lawn party to the ex-
clusion of other lawn parties, for four
swarms have taken up their quarters
under their front porch, and now Mr..
and Mrs. Woodward are receiving Wis
itors at tn, kitchen door.
B. C. Phillips, of Hover is most
progressive storekeepcr. If custom
er wants something he hasn't got, he
is sure to find some satisfactory SUBJ
stitute. He rather stretched the limit
last week, however, when Mr.. Hansen
came in and asked for jar rubbers and
Phillips sent him home with a pack
age Of toothpicks.
Last spring Chris Puderbaugh seed
ed some oats on piece that had been
in rye the year before, but they didn't
come up at all, so the first of June he
put it into corn. The big wind two
weeks ago simply wiped the corn out,
so he reseeded it to barley just in time
to take advantage of the June rains.
But the rains not only brought up the
barley, but they brought up the corn,
the oats and the rye along too, and
now poor Chris is having a terrible
time-trying to figure out how to har-
vest his crop.
The McWhinney boys have got their
barn all done but one side. They mis-
measured some way, and ran into a
hay stack and now they'll have to feed
up the hay before they can put in the
last side.
Friday night, July 28th, the Grange
has asked the business men of Kenne-
wick and their families to come down
to Finley and meet the people of Fin
ley. No program has been prepared,
and the object of the meeting is mere
ly to get together and become better
acquainted. 1t is hoped that everyone
in the valley will turn out and if any
one is possessed of crouch or a
grumble, he is wanted to come and tell
his troubles. The Grange realizes that
