JUDGE FISHER TAKES SLUR OFF
CITY POOLROOMS

Judge Harry w. Fisher has cast
new and humane angle on the pool
room argument. He softened the
slur cast on poolrooms and claimed
that when properly run they were a
good, interesting recreation place
for boys.
Edward Burns, IS, was arrested by
Officers Haynes and MCGEE in a
poorloom run by G. Kallas at 531 E.
36th ST.. The officers testified that
gambling and card playing were go
ing on in the poolroom.
That gave Judge Fisher his bunch.
"The boy is discharged" said the
judge. "And 1 want complaint filed
against the owner of the place for
permitting a minor in the poolroom.
This was done and Kallas. who
was in court as witness, was fined
$50 and costs.
''The poolroom argument that has
been going on is all wrong" said
Judge Fisher. Owners of these
places have brought on the bad name
themselves. When properly con-
Quoted poolrooms should furnish de-
cent and interesting recreation for |
boys.
There is little recreation for boys |
nowadays, anyway, and pool, when |
played for pleasure, as it should be, |
is a good sport. Owners should be |
forced to live up to the requirements
of the law. They should not allow
gambling and card playing to be car
ried on. This is bad for the boys. 1t
is not meant for poolrooms.
eff Chicago's boys could enter a
poolroom and get their pool games
for pleasure it probably would be in
structive. AS poolrooms are run in
great many cases today they are de-
structive.
"Why blame the boys? They go in
for pool and run into all sorts of
gambling. Arrests are made and the
fault is all laid to the youngsters
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-01-10

properly conducted poolroom than
roaming about the streets.
I'm private residences pool is con-
sidered a great game and good sport.
Folks who can afford it have tables
in thei rown homes and play at it
as they would any other pleasure
game. Why kill it for the boys
through allowing cards and gambling
to reign freely?"
Fisher in his decision is backed by
arguments that have come in to The
Day Book Office. Bowling places are
popular and that is considered a
clean sport Why? Because as a
rule a bowling alley is run without
any card or gambling connections.
Heretofore the cry has been that
poolrooms raise more crooks, etc.,
than any other places of business.
Every time a boy Is arrested for
some crime stories appear that he
was raised in poolroom.
Judge Fisher today named the rea-
son for the slur or poolrooms. He
puts the blame where it belongs. Not
on the boys, but on the owners. How
far is Judge Fisher off in his argu-
ment? If bowling, skating, target
Shooting, indoor baseball and ,volley
ball are pleasure games, why isnI
pool, when run in place where gam
bling is not allowed?

movement. The agriculturalist was
appointed secretary of the investiga-
tion committee.
Upon request of the committee, a
g,eat deal of information was gati:
cred from every possible source in the
Northwest and some from the east,
relative to the organization and oper-
alton of cooperative creameries. BY
permission of the chairman, the secre-
tary called meetings of the committee
at different times to go over this in
formation and discuss plans. At one
of these meetings the secretary was
delegated by the committee to look in
to the possibilities of leasing the local
creamery. The ownership Of the
creamery being in litigation at the
time and three interested parties hav-
ing to be dealt with, considerable diff
ficulty was experienced in working out
a definite proposition. Finally, how
ever, an offer of lease was secured
which was conceded by all to be an
exceptionally good one for the farm
ers. The next problem was to get the
farmers to organize in order to &C
cept it.
Mass meetings We're then called to
discuss conditions as they then exist
ed and the ACCESSIBILITY of accepting
the proposition to lease and operate
the local creamery. Three firms were
at this time gathering cream from the
Prosser district. The local creamery
admitted that it was not getting suf-
ficient cream and that it could not re-
quire the delivery of clean cream, be-
cause of competition. The local mer-
chants were shipping in butter, claim
ing they could not use the local pro-
duct. At the meetings, it was repeat
eddy admitted by good farmers, that
they took no pains to keep their cream
in good condition because it was pick
ed up by some one of the wagons
which had been driven many miles in
the heat and dust and their cream was
dumped into a can with cream al
ready "rotten."
The agriculturalist called one spec
ial meeting for the discussion of "The
Care of Cream on the Farm" At this
meeting it was brought out by gov
eminent man that some of the cream
gathered in this way from the dis
trict was arriving at distant cream
cry in absolutely filthy condition.
It was brought out, also, that butter
from this same creamery was selling
on the market for 2 cents under the
maket price, admittedly because of
the poor cream. This loss, of course,
came back directly or indirectly on
the farmer, and when totaled up, it
meant great loss to the entire COM
munity. In short, the whole cream

that could be purchased, have been
located and selected, by the county ag-
riculturalist and purchased by the
farmers. Several demonstration lee
lures on selection, pointing out the
good and bad points in cows, have
been given. On request, this same in
formation has been given on about 70
individual farms. The value of test
ing cows has been urged and encour-
aged. The agriculturalist is now max
ing most of the official tests for a herd
which is trying for the Registry of
Merit" So far as we know, this is
the first work of this kind taken up in
Benton county. .."
The plan of the community bull
clubs has been urged from the begin
ming of the work, both at public meet
ings and in private interviews. The
point was repeatedly brought out that
each of five farmers would have no
more Investment if they owned one
$500 bull than they would if each
owned 500 bull that was just reg
istered. The fact was pointed out that
there would be no comparison of the
value of the heifer calves from the
$500 bull with a production record
back of him of 600 to 800 pounds thru
long line of ancestors (these in Of
fetal figures) and the heifer calves
from the 500 bulls that were just
registered, with only long line Of
big names back of them.
During the year 1915 the coop
Grafton of some progressive farmers
was secured and two bull clubs were
organized for the purchase of choice
community bulls. Upon request from
the clubs, the agriculturalist took up
the proposition Of the purchase with
about % different breeders of high
class stock. Production records and
individual points were emphasized.
In number of cases, the animals Of
fered were looked over carefully, and
in some cases, the interested farmers
were taken to look over the animals.
All the information gathered in these
different ways, has been laid before
the club and the club made it's own
selection. In this way, two of the
best bulls in the state, if not in the
Northwest, have been located in the
west end Of the county, and the or
ganization Of some clubs are now I'M
der way for the same purpose in the
east end Of the county.
Increasing Good Heifers
A number of farmers have been dis
posing of good heifer calves because
of not being able to raise them in good
condition without high feeding cost.
After going over the problem and ex-
planning in detail how some farmers
were raising good thrifty calves at a
very low cost, many more heifer

LAMPSON REPORTS
ON LIVESTOCK
Years Work of Agriculturalist
Shows Growing Interest
Among Farmers

County Agriculturalist Lee M.
Lampson has completed that part of
his annual report which deals with
the live stock industry in the county.
The report reflects the Benton coun-
ty farmers increasing interest in live
stock on the farm and shows that he
is striving for better methods of Sc
lection, care and breeding of his stock.
The report follows in full:
In reading this report, if it should
appear to the reader that the agri-
culturalist is striving for credit, the
fact should be kept in mind that the
agricultural Office is required to pre-
sent the facts in full as they are. 1t
is not an individual matter. 1t is pure
ly matter of presenting to the pub
lie the work that the county, state
college and government is doing to inn
prove agricultural conditions in the
county. Because no one else has kept
a record of all the work in all the dis
tricts, the agriculturalist is required
to report it.
Live Stock Project
The project agreement, or outline
plan, for assisting the farmers in de-
veloping more profitable live stock
industry in the county during 1915,
called for work along the following
lines: assistance in the elimination
Of poor cows; introduction of high
class sires; raising Of good heifer
calves; increased use of silage ard
root crops; prevention of the spread
of contagious diseases in dairy herds;
cheaper and better methods of feed
ing and caring for hogs and sheep;
and assistance in marketing dairy
products.
This plan has been followed as
closely as possible. The following
brief description tells of some of the
most important work done under this
plan:
Milk record sheets have been fur
nished to about As farmers with the
definite understanding that they
would be used to determine definitely
the production records Of each cow.
On these farms there are about $50
cows. In addition to this, about 40
poor cows have been culled out of the
different herds on suggestion from the
county agriculturalist. Upon request
from farmers In the county Is good
dairy cows, some Of them pure bred.
