Say Something GOOD

good reading good and wholesome
Pick out the folks you like the least and watch them
for while
They never waste kindly word; they never waste
smile;
They criticise their felow-men at every chance
they get;
They never found human just to suit their
fancy yet.
From them guess you'd learn some things if
they were pointed out
Some things that every one of us should know
lot about
When someone ''knocks' a brother, pass round
the loving cup
Say something good about him if you have to
make it up!
It's safe to say that every man God made holds
trace Of good
That he would fain exhibit to his fellows if he
could;
The kindly deeds in many soul are alternating
there,
Awaiting the encouragement of other souls that
dare
To show the best that's in them; and universal

Would start the whole world running in a hopeful

Say something sweet to parayze the Q<nocker' on

Allard to Build
Shearing Plant

Sam Allard and John Dumert,
of Allard, were in White Bluffs
Thursday. Mr.. Allard tells us of
plans being formulated to install q
sheep-shearing plant of consider
able magnitude at Allard. The
location is ideal-the Columbia on
the one hand for an abundance of
water, the Milwaukee on the other
furnishing facilities for transport
alton, with the range for grazing
stretching over a broad expanse
from the river. With electric
lighted sheds, equipped with power
propelled shears and all necessary
modern machinery and conveniences
the proposed institution would at
tract the instant attention of the
sheep men Of the country and un-
doubtedly prove lucrative from the
very start.

trict, which includes Benton,
Franklin and Adams counties. Mr..
Moulton has been practising law
for ID years and has been resi-

firm of Moulton & Jeffrey has per-
haps the largest practice of any in
the county. So far AS is known
now, Mr.. Moultonywill be the only
candidate for the judgeship from
this county, Judge Linn having
said that under no circumstances
will he become candidate. 1t is
probable that there will be other
candidates in the district, but
those IN a position 10 know say
that Mr.. Moulton's chances are ex.
nt-this being particularly
true if he is the only candidate
from Benton county.
Mr.. Moulton has handled much
litigation for people in this valley,
the most important being the wa
ter and power cases, and is known
personally to practically every per-
son here. He has the reputation
of being an able, earnest and fear
less attorney and will poll a heavy
vote at Hanford and White Bluffs.

are to be developed, but a question
of who is going to be the first to
strike OIL"

tells Of the good work being done
by the Yakima Natural Oil & Gas
company on their new we'll and
ION top of this comes the news
that another company has gone in
to the field and will begin develop

company has taken leases on sew

himself as being surprised that so
promising field should have been
so long neglected. The sum of
$500 and a ten per cent royalty
was paid for the lease"
And while all this fuss is going
on, the gas well out there keeps
steadily on at its job of spouting
gas, testifying mutely but conclu-
sively that the deposit is there.
Whether it is there in paying guam
