The weather is much milder, and
the frost is about out Of the ground,
and so we are daily expecting the c. e.
to come down and look after our road.
The Finley poet has passed US by
another week, and we are beginning
to worry.
The tax committee of the Finley
grange has been invited to meet with
the Prosser Tax League next Satur-
day. The Grange does not expect any
direct saving in the taxes to result
from the work of their tax committee,
but they do expect the committee to
keep posted on how and where the
public money is spent, and feel that
sufficient publicity will tend toward
economy and eventually effect a ma
terial saving in taxes. Working on
this theory, the whole grange is back
ing their committee with their help
and their money, confidently expect
ing that lower taxes will result some
day in the future.
There is movement on foot to have
the oranges of the county and other
farmer organizations get together and
select candidates for the various coun-
ty offices-candidates who will look
out for the interests of the farmers of
the county. They feel that too many
incapable men are seeking Office, and
that the various candidates should be
investigated and that all the agricul-
tural interests of the county should
unite and back capable men.
The Pomona Grange will meet at
Finley Saturday, March IL. This is
the meeting postponed on account OF
the snow storm. The program will
be announced later.
Glen Smith has purchased five acres
in orchard just below Finley and has
temporarily laid off his work on the
railroad to finish his pruning. If
Glen has as good luck with his fruit
as he has had with his chickens, he
will make big success Of it. He re-
ports that his one hundred chickens
have been laying somewhere between
55 and Sc eggs a day all winter.
A few days ago Chris Puderbaugh
opened can of corn which showed
signs of ptomaine. Having had some
experience with stomache ache, he
wisely decided not to eat it, and fed it
to his chickens. The next morning
he was busy burying some 40 odd
chickens and ducks. This happened
about three weeks ago, and we don't
claim it is news; probably everyone
has heard about it. The only reason
we are printing it is for fear that no
one has told him that he ought to
have had better sense.

The Ladies' Aid of the Finley church
will give a chicken dinner at the Fin
ley hall at $3.50 next Tuesday. The
city of Finley is famous as hay
shipping point, as dairying center
and as being at one end Of the $780,

Altho Roy Cox is not granger, he

The Finley school district will hold
an election on Saturday, March 9TH,
when two directors will be chosen.
Lyle Door is leaving for Spokane to
take position in house handling
chocolate candy exclusively. Small
wonder that all the young ladies in
the community have been vieing with
one another in an effort to be nice to
him. A dozen or more Of the Live
Wire bunch descended on him Monday
night with sandwiches, coffee and
cake, and kept the poor fellow up al
most all night.
Last fall, when the Kraber Brothers
moved to Medical Lake, they attempt

got as far as Wallula, where she took
one look at the roads, turned part way
round and looked across the river to
where her loved oiled road lay-and
baked. No amount Of urging would
move her, so they left her in charge Of
a garage for the winter. George is

many in the community that the par
ent-teachers' association has some
measure of jurisdiction in the conduct
of school affairs. This is not correct.
They do not in any way usurp any OF
the power Of the directors, and in fact
have no legal standing whatever. 1t
is merely great big nationwide club
formed to help solve the many prob
lens arising over the education OF the
child, and their relation to the actual
conduct of the officers and teachers OF
the school district is merely advisory.
Brothers Lyons, Cole and Cochran,
the committee appointed to find look
ing glasses for the grange have been
derelict in their duty. If they don't
get busy pretty quick. they will be dis
charged and new committee ap-
pointed selected from members who
have some hair to part.
Some wag posted the following no
tice at the new ferry landing at the
O-W. bridge: "For Sale This fine

commissioners of Benton county, A.
D., 1915, for the purpose of serving a
private ferryman who changed his
mind about wanting it. Anyone wish
ing to own a fine stretch of road which
he can use without fear of molesta-
tion-here is your chance! It will be
sold for a small fraction of its cost.

gest that if the commissioners are sue
cessful in selling the road in question,
the proceeds be used to improve the
road between Finley and Hover.
We were greatly disappointed in
the argument we tried to start be-
tween Capt. Hoyt and Arthur Quimby
for, altho we started them on three
tempting subjects, they persisted in
smoking the pipe of peace, for Quimby
is about to go away and didn't feel
like quarreling. They both agreed
that it had been a hard winter, that
hay was unusually high and that Lieut..
Burg had performed a noteworthy ex-
plot in bringing the Appam into port.
However, their arguments have not
been without effect on the community.
and they have left many disciples of
their forensic school, especially among
the younger generation. The latest
debate to be called to our attention
was one between little Ruth Goss and
Waldo Gerards, both pupils in the first
grade. Waldo insisted that there were
no such things as bear eggs in the
whole, whole world, while Ruth de-
clared that there were, that she had
seen them. Closely following the
Hoyt- Quimby method, neither listen
ed to what the other had to say, but
launched into a string Of personalities
startlingly descriptive. When they
were finally separated and the court

26, and big attendance is looked for
A New England dinner will be served
at noon and the ladies are asked to

It seems to be the general opinion
of the community that the parent
teachers, association is going. on trial
for its life. During the past year con-
siderable opposition to the work of the
association and the work Of the Of
ficers has developed and the commun-
ity has not been at all backward about
taking sides. We have troubles enough
of our own without sticking our noses
into these quarrels, but we want to
say most emphatically that we be-
lieve that the parent-teachers' asso-
citation, properly conducted and pro-
perly supported by the community is
an enormous factor for good in the
education of the children.
The parent-teachers' association is
q nationwide movement, backed by
educators of lifelong experience and
national reputation. The general aim
of the association is to bring the par
ents and the teachers together where
they can discuss their different prob
lens, and both work together for the
greatest good of the children. Par
ents who have at heart the welfare of
their children as we'll as teachers who
take proper interest in their work,
should, and usually do, welcome the
opportunity to get together and dis
cuss their mutual problems, and also
avail themselves Of the help afforded
by the national association. In Fin
ley, however, it hasn't worked that
way. IF the parents have shown lack
of interest, the teachers have shown
even less, yet all appear to feel that
it is valuable movement. AS we have
said, we are not going to mix in the
quarrels, but we want to urge the
community not to let it die. We want
to urge them to come out and elect
officers that will be satisfactory to all
and then resolve to go to work fully
determined to get the maximum OF
good out of the movement, and the re-
suits will not be slow in appearing.
The opinion seems to prevail among

Changers all over the United States
are studying rural credit and national
marketing measures. At the last ses-
sion of congress, there were over 80
bills presented on these subjects and
most of them were either designedly
or otherwise detrimental to the farm
ers' interests. The aim of this study is
that the farmers acquaint themselves
with what they want and what they
need, so that they can make their
wants known. Finally, vote is to
be taken of all the oranges IN the
country, and the measures receiving
the most votes are to be backed by the
whole grange. We believe this meth
cd will secure suitable legislation on
the two subjects. The work is not
being confined to the grange alone,
but other farmer organizations are
asked to cooperate. County Grange
Master u. s. Case spent Thursday on
the Highlands, and Friday in Section
q working in the interests of these
two measures.
Everyone has been "weathered in"
so long, that the whole valley turned
out to the valentine social last Friday
and enjoyed neighborhood visit and
gossipfest. So few brought valentines
that the post Office was not opened,
but no one missed it, for with games,
dances and supper there was hardly
time for anything else.
G. Monroe Ford has managed to get
into the lime light again. This time
it was at the grange valentine social.
He was playing cards and held three
Kings, and, in his excitement, as he
was about to draw, he tilted forward
on his chair just as one Of the young
lady dancers passed his way. Was it
accidental? We don't know, but any
way, her dainy foot touched his chair
and G. Monroe came down on his neck
like a thousand of brick. When he
came to he murmured, "Was it the
King Of Clubs?" Frank Lyons re-
piled, "No, it was the Queen Of
Hearts"
Clay Puderbaugh missed the last
Grange meeting, and investigation
brought out the fact that he had fall
en- out of an apple tree and bumped
the back of his head so hard that he
couldn't see.
At last the grange car Of coal has
come and been distributed. Such is
the perversity of affairs ordered in
plenty of time to arrive early in jan
uary, a series of mishaps and acct
dents interviewed and the car arrived
just as winter pulled out.
Everyone was sorry to hear that
Mr.. and Mrs. Jarboe were leaving the
valley. Mr.. Jarboe has taken a po-
sition with the government and Uncle
Sam gave him very short time to

HISTORY
OF Destructive Insects VIII BE Shown
In An Exhibit at the Ban
ner Fair

The loss of crops in the United
States due to the ravages of insects
runs into millions of dollars annual
ly. Many of thes epests can be
economically controlled by the far
mers while others are apparently be-
yond control
1t is very important to know the
life history of an insect before rem
edial measures can be successfully
applied The life history of many
insects will be shown at the county
fair in connection with the exhibit
from the Ohio Experiment Station
Ask for a spray calendar.
Fungus diseases also contribute
quite largely to the annual loss of
crops in Ohio. Many of the most de-
structive species are readily control
led by various treatments, accord
ing to the disease. Bulletin PA of
the Ohio Experiment Station gives
list of the most common ones and the
best method of dealing with them.
Those common plants known as
weeds" are found on every farm.
A weed has been described as
plant out of place" Many of our
most destructive weeds were intro
duced from other states and coun-
tries. Bulletin rs of the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station will serve as a
guide with which to identify weeds.
Many mounted specimens may be
seen in the exhibit of the Experiment
Station at the Banner Fair. Attend
ants in charge will try to identify
any specimens brought to the tent.
