Items of Interest Concerning Our Neighbors Hereabouts


and register and cast our vote at the
elections, we will be entitled to be
heard no matter whether we are on
the winning side or not. This is q
farming community and it is decided
ly up to us to get busy if we would
look out for our own interests.
This wasn't the only thing the Po-
mona discussed. They endorsed the
idea of. Good Roads Day and the diff
erent subordinate oranges are each
going to try to get up good roads
party to work on that day. Commit
tees from each grange were arranged
for to meet and pick suitable candi-
dates for the various county Offices,
and the grange is going to back their
choice with their best efforts. Among
other things the grangers got away
with two tables full Of good things to
eat. Judge Wilgus was the first per-
son ready for pie at noon, because he
had no teeth and didn't have to stop
to chew and set the example of taking
but one piece. Good generous pieces
they were enough for anybody.
When Joe Gerards came to pie he
took two pieces. (That man is al
ways hungry. A few followed his
example, but when u. S. Case came to
pie, he took four pieces. He had to
pile them up like a layer cake. This
can be said to Cases credit, however.
he didn't eat either pie or cake for
supper. Lee Lampson was the star
at the supper table. He ate so long
that the committee had to cut three
numbers off the program which fol-
lowed.
It took both Kennewick and Pasco
to beat the Finley ball team last Sum
day, and they just did do it at that,
for the score was / to O. Sounds like
big league stuff and it was big league
pitching. 1t was pitchers battle
from beginning to end and had Powell
been given as good support as Morain,
they might have been going yet, for
the only run was made on an error.
Morain struck out Is men, Powell Is.
Each walked one man and each hit
one. The Finley boys missed Bill
Spears, their regular first baseman-
not that Tewalt did not play as well,
but Spears can almost always be
counted on for hit in pinch. The
lineup was: L. Powell, p; Gerards, c;
Tewalt, 1b; Cochran, 2b; Moore, 3b;
Wells, IS; Robinson, CT; Angel II; r.
Powell, IF.
Next Sunday the Finley team will
play Wallula at Wallula.
A few weeks ago one Of our cor
inquired which was the
left side Of a cow. We received num-
erous suggestions for determining
which was the left, most Of them at
to be facetious, such as s'the
left side is the side you leave for the
:af to suck" The only explicit ans
wer came from A. F. Woodward, who
explained that the left side of COW
vas the of side, while the left side of
an OK was the nigh side.

Last year the community weathered
,pidemics of measles, chicken pox and
vhooping cough, but spring has
brought along the most contagious
disease Of all. There are at present
It least six cases Of puppy love in its
most virulent form. We are informed
hat the health officer is considering
Iuarantining Frank Lyons bus, and
lie advised that at this season of the
rear the common practice of holding
lands should be discontinued.
If anyone ever tries to do anything
n this community he is sure to have |
laf dozen chronic kickers on his
leck. This rule had worked without
all for years, but at last we have
ound the exception which proves the
ule. Until Father Abbey came the
finley school grounds were the dirt
est, dfeariest excuse for school
rounds it had ever been our misfor-
une to look upon. Now they are the
ride Of the community and we have
ever heard anything but words Of
God will and praise for Mr.. Abbey.
urely he has done a Let and appar-
ntly everyone in the community ap-
rebates it.
