DEATH OF MARTHA WEAVER

i The entire community was shocked
to learn of the death of little Martha
Weaver, four year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. H. C. Weaver, which occurred
in Pasco Friday, August oath. il
The little girl had been ailing for
some time but her parents did not re-
alize her condition and as she did not
improve decided to take her to the
hospital in Pasco where it was found
she was suffering from a severe at
tack of appendicitis. An operation
was immediately performed from
which the little child rallied nicely but
peritonitis had set in which soon
caused her death.
She leaves to mourn her loss be-
sides her parents seven brothers and
sisters at the family home in Richland.
Funeral services were held Sunday
morning from the Richland Methodist
church, Rev. H. A.. Stone officiating.
Four little boys, members of the Sun
day school, acted as pallbearers.
The body was shipped to the old
home at Ellensburg for interment.

the way he expresses himself about
organized farmers and their leaders
one would think he is paid to do that.
The farmers in the United tSates know
we'll who is bucking against their or
ganization. The big-business-profit-
eering gang with their owned press
and hired speakers will fight the farm
ers so long as they are able to.
The farmers, organized or unor-
ganized, are supporting the war pro-
gram better than the profteers. But
there will be no justice or reward to
the hard working farmers so long as
the profiteers have the say about our
products and our needs for existence.

DEATH OF FORREST LONG

Forrest Long, ten-year-old son OF
A. R.. Long, ditch superintendent for
the Horn Rapids Irrigation company,
died at the family home north OF
Richland Wednesday night, after an
illness of So hours of malignant diph-
liberia.
How the boy contracted the disease
is mystery. The family is of course,
quarantined until danger of other
cases developing is past. This death
is particularly sad one, as Mrs.
Long died but four months ago, leav-
ing eight children motherless.
The father, five sisters and two
brothers have the sincere sympathy
Of the community in this, their second
bereavement. Interment will be made
in the Kennewick cemetery beside his

Letters from the People
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
In your issue of Aug. %, Mr.. Gordon
Moores is giving advice to the hard
working farmers of the state of Wash
ington, to stick with the old gang pol
iticians and they will get something
good after the war is over. That's
an old, old promise which both repub-
licans and democrats have been telling
since the two parties sprang up. They
use those promises only in campaign
speeches, but there never was any,
thing in it. Mr.. Moores thinks the city
smart lawyers should be the gents to
dictate and make laws for farmers
and everybody in Washington. By
the way, we don't need many new laws
we have too many right now; what
we need is little change in the pres
emit laws to suit the producers. They
will be changed only when the pro-
ducers as an organized body, will get
in and do the changing. Mr.. Moores
is telling Gardner to save the SIG for
some grange and the supposed grange
will do the fighting with the profiteer-
ing gang. How will they fight-with
rocks or clubs? Maybe they won't
fight! What would be the use to buck
against the profteer gang when they
have the law-making body on their
side? Instead of SIG the profiteer
pays thousands for political elections
and campaigns. Why should
not the farmer pay sixteen honestly
earned bucks for organizing and CAM
paign purposes as well? If the farm
er pays his own fare he surely will
get there and do the fighting and make
his own laws that will hurt the pro-
fiteers. And what can we expect
from officials and legislators whose
