Of the board be given a per diem al
lowance for the time actually spent
on their duties as directors.
This proposal was also voted down.
Then the vegetable producers, who
were the chief ones back of the fight
on the contract and who are not now
represented on the board, proposed
that the number of directors be in
creased from five to seven so that
they could have two members on the
board, but this proposition was voted
down.
Finally Reach Agreement.
Along towards o'clock in the
morning. however, the members got
together and by an almost unanimous
vote adopted an amendment stipulat-
ing that the county agricultural agent
an dthe Associations general man
ager be ex-officio members of the
board of directors.
Whether this arrangement will set
tie the dissensiOnS among the men,
bers of the Association is reported to
be doubtful. The contention of the
vegetable men is that Kelley, under
his contract according to which n
pays a certain percentage of the net
monthly business TO the Association
Is interested In buying vegetables
wherever he can get them the cheap
est, while the Association members
are interested in selling their vege-
tables for the highest price and that
the arrangement is therefore bound
to work against their interests.
The contract with Kelley. who is a
prominent Mud Bay farmer and one
of the chief workers in organizing the
Association early last fall, was made
by the directors last January when
the affairs of the Association were
somewhat tangled. Pierce county
farmers were pulling all the wires
they could to take the camp conces-
sion away from the local people. and
Kelley offered to take charge of af-
fairs. straighten things out and put
the Association on going basis. This
he has done to the satisfaction of the
military authorities at the camp and
the Associations gross business is
now running around $4,000 a
month, about half of it in milk.

KELLEY WINS IN DISPUTE
OVER CAMP LEWIS CONTRACT
EFFORiS AT SPECIAL MEETING TUESDAY REMOVE HIM AS
DIRECTOR THURsTON COUNTY FARM PRODUCTS
PROPOsAIS-COUNTY AGENT


Dissatisfaction held by some of the
members of the Thurston County
Dairy & Farm Products Association,
particularly vegetable growers, over
the contract entered into by the
directors with George Kelley, one of
their number, last January, provoked
a lively discussion and debate at a
special meeting of the Association at
Elks' Hall Tuesday evening. Some
so members were present
The argument resulted in sustain
ing Kelley's contract. modified by an
agreement on his part that the Asso-
citation should not pay interest on the
money he uses in promoting the veg
etable part of the business and that
the Association shall not be liable for
any financial loss in the handling of
vegetables, butter, cheese and eggs,
which his contract covers.
The members joined in protesting
no personal objection to Kelley. What
those dissatisfied with his contract
sought to do was to remove Kelley as
director, on the ground that he was
violating a provision of the bylaws
stipulating that a director shall not
buy or sell on his own account any
products handled by the Association.
Classed as EmplOye.
The contract which Kelley has,
under which he has control of the
handling of the vegetables. butter,
eggs and cheese, and Is also general
manages for the Association of it's big
plant at Camp Lewis, states that he
is an employe Of the Association and
he and his supporters answer the con-
tention of the others in this way.
Asked for an opinion regarding this
feature of the contract, Attorney P.
M. Troy. who drew the contract. ad-
vised the meeting that tn Q courts
would undoubtedly sustain it.
The first move of those dissatisfied
with the contract was to ask Kelley
to resign from the board of directors.
This he refused to do. Then they at
tempted to force him off. but that
motion lost. Their third proposal was
an amendment stipulating that no
director may become an employe Of
the Association, but that the members

OF MEMORIAL
DAY ''0vER THERE"
VIRGIL o. BAKER WRITES INTER-
ESTINGLY OF DECORATION
DAY IN FRANCE.

How Decoration Day was observed
in a little town in France is most
Interestingly told by Virgil o. Baker
of the naval aviation service, in a
letter received by his father. F. E.
Baker, the other day. Dated Deco
ration Day, the letter reads:
This is holiday in the Navy,
wherever possible, and there is no
work on this station. A good many
of the men on this station partici-
pated in the Memorial Day parade
and exercises at Pauillac.
1--WE left the station at 8 a. m. and
marched to Pauillac along along the
broad, tree-lined road. On one side
of this road are the green vineyards,
on the other the river bank. 1t was
quite warm. likewise very dusty.
Heading the procession was the
Stars and Stripes, with the color
guard, buglers and drummers. As
we crossed the little stone bridge en-
tering the village, we were joined by
a few squads of U. S. soldiers (our
own 18th Engineers), score or so
of wounded French soldiers, few
Algerians from the hospital, some
War veterans, with
their French flag (reminding one
very much of our Civil War heroes,
old men marching bravely along,
steps a little uncertain but heads
high and fire in their eyes.)
winding up over little hill, the

messy stone wall-an impressive
place, indeed, the tombs and burial
stones apparently very old. each
adorned with imitation coral deco
rations made of bead work, the
walks bordered by tall weepy ever
greens, most awe-inspiring grave
yard
"This cemetery was founded almost
century and half ago by Lafayette
and is one of the most famous in
France. Here lie two American blue
Jackets and their graves had been
decorated by mounds of freshly cut
flowers.
Zone of our officers said few ap-
WOTuS, We were duuTeSStu
briefly by French civilian-possibly
the mayor of the village-a French
priest said a prayer, and then one of
our buglers blew taps and we were
dismissed.
"Taps is the one bugle call which
to me contains any melody at ALL" he
adds. land every night when I hear
it, as today in this French grave
yard. the thought comes to me that
its few sad. expressive, long-drawn-
out notes are indeed beautiful. To
me it is a haunting melody which
often fingers in my mind long after
it's notes die out on the evening ali
and all hands have piped down tc
pleasant dreams, lurid nightmare OF
untroubled sleep, as the case may
be-"
Then he goes on to tell something
| about his visit in the town:
After we were dismissed m,
