Very often young wives come to us
and say, How can re-decorate our
little home tastefully and at small
cost?
II you can save out eighteen or
twenty cents from the general house
hold expenses each week 1t will soon
mount up to three or four dollars, as
the case may be. This may be spent
for carpets, wall paper, varnish and
curtains. other incidental expenses
will eat up the rest OF it. In selecting
the wall paper pick out large patterns
that you will soon tire of. The larger
and more horrible patterns are the
most expensive, but they can always be
covered over with something simpler II
you so desire. The choice of wall pa
per is important because 1t can seldom
be sent back IL It doesn't fit. Another
simple way to re-decorate the home is
to invite q small cousin or nephew for
a visit and give him several buckets OF
paint and q Ratchet to play with.

With time upon his hands.

The first poor cuss he can,
He wants the whole world for job
And soaks most any man.

In ease and wealth he fares,
For he has made a large fat roll
In motor car repairs.

There are some 1900 acres un-

Dismiss w. B. &
C. r. Phone Case

The Spokesman this week re-
ceived from the Public Service
commission copy Of the order of
dismissal in "the matter Of the pc
tition Of the White Bluffs and Col
umbia River Telephone company
for permission to consolidate the
telephone exchanges of White
Bluffs and Hanford and to rear
range and increase rates" This
case was filed with the commission
two years ago when the Telephone
company, for economical reasons,
thought it best to consolidate the
Hartford and White Bluffs e1-
changes. Prior to the hearing be-
fore the commission in June, 1915,
the business men in Hanford made
satisfactory arrangements with the
company in regard to help, rent,
ETC., that made it practicable to
keep both exchanges going. The
increased rates petitioned for were
a Scent charge against non-sub-
scribers using the local phones and
a 25-cent penalty for subscribers
failing to pay monthly bills before
the Goth Of the month following
the one in which they accrued.
Both of these requests were grant
ed by the commission. Since then,
the telephone company has done
away with the subscriber
charge, but the 25-cent penalty is
still in vogue. 1t appeared to the
commission that there was nothing
further to be done in the case and
they therefore issued the order of
dismissal.

P. R. Parks of Spokane, general
manager. and j. w. Vickers Of
Kennewick, manager of the Kenne-
wick unit, If the Spokane Fruit
Growers company, held a meeting
with the fruit growers in Hanford
Thursday night and will hold one
with the local growers at the school
house tonight, to discuss the advis-
ability of having the Spokane COM
pany market the coming crop of
fruit in this valley. This is the
company that made such a success
of marketing the Richland-Kenne-
wick strawberries last. season, as
well as their early spuds and other
fruit. The proposition seemed to
meet with the approval of the Han
ford growers last night and enough
of the growers signed up to insure
the Spokane company better than
$4,000 boxes Of fruit from that end
Of the valley.

Organize Home
Guard Company

Probably more interest and en-
thusiasm has been stirred up among
the men of White Bluffs, both
young and old, by the preliminary
org anization of home guard dur
ing the past week, than anything
that has happened for long time.
F. M. We'll, who received his train
ing under regular army officers, is
acting as instructor and it is the
unanimous opinion that as a drill
master he is an artist. Thirty-four
were out Wednesday evening and,
considering that with three or four
exceptions they were all new at the
work, they all performed in an ex-
cellent manner. Uniforms will
probably be ordered next week and
drilling started in earnest. 1t is
hoped that unit can also be or
ganized at Hanford for it is be-
lieved that with the two places
working together, sufficient num-
Der can be enrolled to secure free
rifles and ammunition. The train
ing is good for everybody and can
hurt no one, and with the end of
the war apparently some time off,
no one knows but that he may be
called to the front. If he is, the
training received now will be time
and effort we'll spent. Mr.. We'll,
who left for Walla Walla this
morning, expects to be back next
Monday morning, when definite
plans for the organization and drill
ling of the Home Guards will be
perfected.
White Bluffs is going to cele-
bratc the Fourth of July this year.
This was-determined at a meeting
of the Commercial club Wednesday
night. 1t is not to be one of the
old fashioned, chip hip hurrah" af-
fairs but one in keeping with the
fact that this country is now at
war. The ceremonies will consist
principally in the raising of the
magnificent flag presented to the
town a short time ago by The Pro-
duce company, speeches by eminent
orators from different points in
,, this county and North Yakima, and
drills by the Home Guards. w. j.

Forty States Represented In
Hearings BY The Food
Commission
BLAME HIGH PRICES
ON THE MIDDLE MAN
Measure, Stringent and Far
Reaching, Is introduced
In u. S. Senate
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

!. Washington, April 8O.-Twenty-
five million dollars are asked for the
agricultural departments use in ad-
ministering the governments food
control program, as introduced in
congress today. AS part of the pro-
gram, the federal trade commission
has started an inquiry with hearings
from representatives of state food
. commissions Forty states were rep
resented and many reports blamed the
high prices on middlemen and on poor
transportation methods.
Food legislation calls for an i'm
mediate survey of the COuntry's food
resources and cOnfers power on the
agricultural department to prevent
speculation or price manipulation.
Proposed measures do not cover price
fixing or control of grain entering
into the manufacture of liquor. Under
the measure asked, the secretary of
agriculture could license or operate
any business OF the manufacture,
storage or distribution of food, food
materials or seeds.
The promise was made to Secretary
Houston at the governments food
conferences by tina many women edi-
tors who were called here to open
the columns of their publications in
urging the conservation of food, and
urge wartime household, food eco
Monies and kitchen gardening as a
means to combat the possibility of
food shortage.
