MOUND PRAIRIE CLUB
DELEGATES NEW HOME
GOVERNOR PRINCIPAL SPEAKER
AT ELABORATE EXERCISES
THURSDAY.

With Governor Lister as the guest
of honor and principal speaker, Pres
ident P. M. Troy Of the Chamber of
Commerce delivering Olympia's mes
sage, and other prominent speakers
from Centralia and Chehalis on the
program, the members of the Mound
Prairie Farmers club dedicated their
new home at Essex, q mile north of
Grand Mound, with elaborate exer-
cises Thursday afternoon.
The dedicatory program began at
$3.50 and occupied the greater part
of the afternoon, and in the evening
young and old people Of the neigh
borhood joined in dancing. The slo-
gan of the day was 1.-The prairie's
right when handled right" and the
ceremonies attracted a large crowd.
Purpose Of the Club.
The club is instituted to study ag-
ricultural conditions of the South
west Washington gravelly prairie
lands. The men and women COM
posing it have decided, after four
years of experimentation, that this
prairie land, scientifically handled.
will prove sufficiently fertile to war
rant its cultivation and settling by
large numbers of small ranch hold
ers.
Their greatest problem, at the
present time, is the profitable mar
keting of produce. The club has
just erected a very nice building
which is to be devoted chiefly to this
problem and to matters of communi-
ty welfare generally.
This club was organized May 9Th
last year and has a membership OF
81 earnest men and women who are
accustomed to labor hard with both
their hands and their heads, and any
thing they attempt to do is something
entirely practicable.
The Clubs Officers.
Mr.. F. w. Nye, q poultryman, is
the president; e. c. Dens, vice pres
ident; w. s. Whipple, treasurer, and
C. L. Drake, secretary.
That the extent Of the gravelly
prairie lands makes their proper de-
velopment a matter of statewide in
terest is evidenced by the interest
taken in the activities of this club
by Governor Ernest Lister, who at
tended the exercises Thursday and
delivered the dedicatory address.
This evidence Of the states attention
to their doings will prove one of the
best of incentives toward a continu-
ance Of the work so officially sane
toned.
