The farmers of the lower valley met
last Tuesday and formed the Finley
Farm Loan association. They signed
the application for a charter and
elected their board of directors as
follows: c. E. Cox, E. E. Pyle, j. R.
Ayers, S. A. Hoyt and A. S. Goss.
The territory in which the association
should operate was mapped out as
follows: Beginning at point where
the west line of section 10, twp. 8 N.
Range 30, E. w. M, meets the Column
bia river, thence south to the south
west corner of said section 10, thence
west three miles to the west township
line, thence south along said line to
the Columbia river, thence along the
bank of the Columbia river to the
point of beginning. The west line of
the district strikes the river about
half way between Mottinger and To-
mar, Mottinger being about two miles
outside.
Application to join had been made
by three or four of the farmers living
as far west as Paterson, but the men,
bers felt that the expense of appraise-
ment would be too great. They felt
willing, however, to add this territory
later if the farmers from that section
could not organize an association, pro-
vided those wishing to make loan
would pay the expense of appraise-
ment. Should the farmers of that
district wish to join the Finley as
ISOLATION they may take the matter
up with J. R. Ayers.
Any farmer living within the
boundaries described and farming his
own place may join the association
There is no cost attached to getting
the loan except the actual expense OF

Wherever young people are found
there will also be found differences
of opinion about dancing, and the pc
culiar thing about it is that no one
seems to have much tolerance for the
opinion of otkcIs on this one subject.
This community has been particularly
unfortunate in having two or three
splits on dancing so that. now, ques-
ton which should be of minor import
ance becomes main issue in all COM
munity plans. Three or four years
ago the Grange split wide open over
this question and two other clubs
were organized, making three organ
izations where there was room for but
one. Fifteen months ago these clubs
were all united in the Grange, making
one strong organization. At that time
almost the unanimous sentiment of the
particularly everyone was approached
on the subject of dancing and it was
community that dancing be permit
ted in the Grange among the men,
bers and their friends, but that pub
lie dancing be discontinued. And so
it was that two or three dances were
given, last winter, which brought a
storm of criticism down upon the
Grange masters head, for everyone
came whether they were invited or
not, and there was unfortunately some
rowdy dancing.
And so this year the master and
lecturer went over the situation care
fully and determined that they would
not lay themselves open to any such
criticism as they got year ago, and
made a rule that the entertainments
where dancing was permitted should
be for Changers only or for those
friends who were Individually invited
by either the master or lecturer. Any
member could secure an invitation
for a friend by asking for it. It was
further decided to bar all Raging and
stepping. They realized that there
was no harm in either Raging or
stepping if properly done, but they
also realized that it resulted in lot
of rowdy dancing last year and it was
their determination to hold the Grange
entertainments above any criticism.
It is due to the abuse Of these dances
that the high schools of Portland
and the Sound have ruled out these
steps in the past year, tho dancing is
encouraged and even taught in these
institutions. The Grange officers
knew that some would object to the
rule, but they also knew that many
didn't want any dancing at all, and if
the latter would defer to the wishes
of the majority they felt sure the
former would do so also. ~
A few feel that these orders are
rather harsh and think the decision
should be left to the Grange. That is
right-it should and shall be. Altho
it seems a trivial matter it has be-
come quite an issue in this community
so everyone should be given an oppor-
tunity to be heard on it. For this
reason the question will be brought
up at the second meeting of the month
February "a. Then the Grange mem
bers can determine just what they
want. Until then the rule will pre-
vail of no Raging and no stepping
and no outsiders except those who
come by invitation.

The contract might mako M liable for

The Farm Loan directors were dis
cussing where they would meet. Each
wanted the meeting at his house so
he wouldn't have to go out and each

said "and Monday I was in Prosser"
the other four members simultaneous
