See who got our place at the head
Of the page last week! We don't
know whether to be put out about it
or whether to feel honored at being
transferred to the page opposite the
editorials. Highland News came thru
with something worth reading last
week so we don't begrudge them the
place. Only one comment would we
make and that was in their criticism
Of Gluck & Co. RUSTY for not adj
vertising. Can it be that they have
forgotten Rusty's ad which ran for a
year unchanged? "Goodbye-But

to come in and look over our line of
trunks and suit cases." No-Rusty
don't need to advertise for year OF
two now.

bonds according to law, and whereas
judging from bond sales in North Yak
ina and Walla Walla on the same day
it appears that Benton county will
have to pay between 100000 and
SAC, 100000 exhorbitant interest and,
whereas, the Benton County Pomona
Grange is not interested in where the
court house may be built, therefore,
be it resolved that we, the members
of Pomona Grange in regular session
assembled do hereby severely censure
and condemn the actions of said COM
missioners as above stated.

To us, the strange part of the whole
deal is, if the proceedings were entire
ly straightforward, why was it neces-
sary to carry them thru in the dark :?
If they were entirely regular, why
could not the county attorney defend
the suit? Why should any reputable
attorneys enter into a contract where
by they received such enormous fees
merely to defend civil suit that needs
practically no defense at all If the
proceedings are regular? Surely If
the proceedings had been entirely reg
ular they would not be entitled to
such fees, and if they are not regular
why should they be willing to accept
the taxpayers money to try to jam
the dose down the taxpayers threats
Without attempting to discuss the
merits or Irregularities of the pro-
ceedings themselves, we will say that
we most heartily condemn the policy
of conducting all the business in Sc
cret: we most heartily condemn the
plan for Fleeing the taxpayers out
of between 100000 and $4O,OOO.OO
and we condemn as strongly anyone
who, for money or any other motive
endeavors to uphold and defend such
questionable methods.
We can't leave the court house
deal without commenting on an edl'
| torial which appeared in the Prossel
Independent-Record Of December q
| 1916. from which we quote: "The

one Finley swain recently. L. l. B.
On Friday, December 18th, the Fin
ley Grange will hold night school
which opens at $3.50 sharp. All the
Changers are urged to come and to be
on time for tardy pupils will be fined
two cents each. The object Of the
school is to have good time and to
raise few cents for the piano fund.
This money is to be raised by assess
ing fines of from to cents for poor
conduct or failure in class work with
total limit of ten cents except in
cases of continual willful disobedience
so everyone is advised to brush up on
his spelling, arithmetic and geog-
raphy. The Grange school officials
will serve chocolate and coffee but
each scholar is expected to bring his
own lunch bucket well filled. A good
time is promised and school will be
dismissed early. Any Granger wish
ing to bring friend should apply to
the Lecturer G. Monroe Ford or to
the Master A. S. Goss. All members
| of the Changers immediate families
are invited.
Supt. Masters of the Sunday school
has heard from Santa Claus, saying
that he will be in Finley Saturday
| evening, December 23rd. Now this
happens to be Grange night, but since
Santa is so busy this time of year,
we have decided to make way for him
and the regular meeting will, there
fore, be advanced two days to Thurs
day, December 21st at eight o'clock
The meeting is called for this date to
take up any and all matters that would
naturally come before the regular
meeting, including the initiating OF
candidates and the election of the re.
mainder of the officers for the ensu
ing year. Lecturer Ford has announc'
ed a brief Christmas program.
The much talked of Ladies Ait
bazaar will be held at the Finley
school house beginning at noon, Sat
urday, December 16. Light refresh
ments will be served. Judging from
the amount of work the ladies hav'
done they will have something wortl
going to. =

THE ANNIVERSARY OF DIR.
HERBS DEATH.

The 23rd of this month will mark.
the 18th anniversary of the death of
our great leader, DR.. Theodore
Herzl, who died in the prime Of his
promising life. And again will the
Zionists, the world over, assemble
to give homage to that spiritual
giant, who has led us, not only dur
ing the last years Of his short life,
but whose spirit and ideals, will
guide us all through our present and
future work, for the National re-
birth of our much suffering people,
And let us here remember, the
deadly combat with Amalek, in
those crucial days, when the forma-
ticn Of "Kingdom of priests and
Holy People, was but an ideal of
great leader-when Moses had to

fight enemies within Our ranks as
we'll as without, for the survival Of
a Jewish nation based on principles
Of Justice and humanity.
And it came to pass, when Moses
held up his hand, that Israel pre-
vailed and when he let down his
hand that Amalek prevailed" -Ex-
odus XVII.
The preservation of the Jewish
nationality at that time solely de-
pended upon, whether or not the
spirit and teachings of Moses were
upheld by the Jewish people. And
time and again, the hand of Moses
lost it's strength and was let down
and the principles and ideals Of the
great leader were abandoned, and
the Sons of Israel were the cOnse-
quent losers in that great struggle.
And it required the summons of the
two great patriots Aaron and Chur
to assist Moses in upholding his
hand amongst the Children of Israel,
and they came out the victors.
History repeats itself and we are
facing now the same problem-shall

of Israel as a nation, or shall we

nothing more than a pottage of len

We Zionists will take stock on
this anniversary of the loss of our
great leader, and remember that we
have but one way to follow, and
that is the one trodden for us by
the great Jew, DR.. Theodore Herzl,

IMPORTANT OPINION

ATLANTA, Ga, May ga decision

present to Governor Harris their
claims for the appointment of men
from their section on the board Of
arbitrator who settle claims for dam
ages arising from the Ducktown cop
per fumes.
Damages to crops by the fumes
from the Ducktown copper smelters
have long been a source of litigation
between the state of Georgia and the
copper company. The case has been
to the United States supreme court re-
peatedly, and certain features of the
litigation are now pending before thai
tribunal.
The present arbitrator, ]. ]. Brown,
f. S. Griffith and J. J. Mcdonald, live
in distant portions of the state, and
visit northeast Georgia only once or
twice year, when they meet to pass
on the damage claims. Recently a
large delegation of farmers and other
citizens of Cherokee and Fannin coun-
ties called on Governor Harris, and
urged him to appoint arbitrators from
their section.

Next place was Montezuma and here
they met Commissioner DeVaughn, of
the Macon county commissioners, and
ne stated that they had taken up Sec
rotary Hyman's communication in the
morning at the commissioners meet
ing, and that the the same idea had
been sprung, that they would wait and
see if there was to be county fair, so
that an exhibit in keeping with the
growth of the county could be secured.
Judge Greer was visited at his home,
and he stated that he was thoughly
in accord with the project and was
truly glad that this fair was to be in
stalled at the Third Agricultural
school He suggested that he would
call mass meeting at the courthouse
for next Monday morning at II o'clock
and hoped to have a big crowd present.
at this meeting the matter of operat-
ing county fair will be taken up and
threshed out and if found that it can
be done, the work will be undertaken
at once, and the county commissioners
so informed
There is practically no opposition at
all to the plan of the Third Agricul-
tural District fair only the one idea
crops up at the meetings; can we make
an exhibit after we get the building?
1t is impossible to persuade them to
see it in the same light as Schcley
county did. They went on and voted
to build the building and then they
laid plans to fill it, and it has turned
out to be the means of forming a
