EndearInE letter..

En0e4EAmK LeNleFls
Men high in financial and political
circles have been mentioned IN letters
Introduced at the trial last week. Tbs
letters were between the two women
who now oppose each other. and show.
ed that great affection once existed
between them. Their tsrms OF en-
dearment in some instances are
unique.
"Ben's stepmother" was the tern
applied in several cases to Mrs. Roth,
while Mrs. Frank called herself 'sBen's
mother" II was developed In the
course Of testimony that the Ben
owned by Mrs. Frank.
Mrs. Roth had told the jury THAI
Mrs. Frank kept her in seclusion near
Washington while her stock was solo.
The extract from a letter from Mrs.
Frank, which was offered as evidences,
is quoted, in part:
Dear Johanna: have written
DarrOw clarence barrow, at that
time Mrs. Franks attorney In Chi

Another Letter.

Another excerpt from a letter ideB-
titled IN court As having been sent By
Airs. Frank to Mrs. Roth was sent
from Chicago. Nay IS. 1915. II reads:
Dear Niece and Ren's StepmothsFf
Saw the Richter and We did have
some talk. II ever my mind had
chance It had # then. Mutt wrote
me a few brief words and said
ought to come home. but he would
be patient. No one knows wherB
am so ! am safe and ] am not ont
much only when I need be. ] cannot
say much in .his, but have the most
astonishing news about the party
your clipping concerned before he
fell from grace he had tapped the
Richter's phone. his chambers phone.
and had him under care So what
he will get when this thing comes up
IS worse than Teddy Bear-you see
how chickens come home to roost I
had rather be honest about the stor-
age-no danger OF anything happen
ing. l only don't want to stir up q
sleeping dog-just now. My hands
are full as II is. - . heart full OF
love. Don't write because I want TO
leave no trail behind me when I leave
and may leave now any day"
According to Mrs. Roth. Richter
was a code word for Federal Judge
Lands. Mutt was a name for the
defendants husband, tho witneEl
stated.

WILL NEED MORE
ROOM NEXT YEAR
Local Warehouses will Not be
Adequate to Handle Next
Years Crop, Desgranges

The Kennewick District Fruitgrow-
ers association, along with other local
fruit shipping agencies, has finished
the season and closed it's warehouse
for the winter.
In speaking of the seasons work
Manager H. w. Desgranges says:
"Now that the season has come to
an end it is well to sit down and take
stock of our efforts and results.
"The season as whole is the most
successful that the fruitgrower has
had for years. Notwithstanding that
the soft fruit was practically fail
ure and the ravages of the worms were
the worst ever, there was fair yield
and the prices received more than
made up for the losses.
"The one outstanding fact of the
past seasons operation is the absolute
necessity of more warehouse facilities
for Kennewick. Altho the apple crop
was admittedly short, every ware.
house was worked to the limit of its
capacity, and every vacant house in
town was pressed into service, and then
large tonnage was left to the mercy
of the elements, which, thank good,
ness, were very kind, and continued
moderate weather prevailed until all
the crop was cared for. 1t is not
wise, however, to presume that such
will be the case year after year. 1t
no longer is a question of sufficient
tonnage to operate successfully, but
rather the ability in equipment to pro-
perly handle the tonnage offered.
Should next years crop be normal it
will double that of this season and the
wise grower will not wait until har-
vest time to provide place of safety
for his fruit. The association was un-
able to handle all the tonnage offered
late in the season.
The association is now maturing
plans to largely increase its ware
house capacity, the nature of this i'm
provement depending somewhat on the
additional tonnage offered. We will
provide facilities for all the tonnage
offered early.
"Our packing department has again
proven a great convenience and mon
ey-saver to the grower and this will
be enlarged and improved. The as
ISOLATION has always been the leader in J

SAYS THERE WILL BE
PLENTY OF WORK
Holland Says There is Ground
less Pessimism Regarding
Reconstruction Period

DR.. E. o. Holland Of the State Col
lege has issued the following state
ment regarding the great work which
looms ahead of America il. helping
rebuild the Old World:
There is groundless pessimism evil
denced in our fear that the return to
civil life of millions of soldiers and
munitions workers may be followed
by extensive unemployment and social
unrest.
Such pessimism is rooted in our
failure to perceive what the immed-
late future holds for all intelligent,
law-abiding people and amounts to
thinking in terms of yesterday instead
of tomorrow. Considering this great
tomorrow of ours, we should see that
whatever it lacks, there is no lack of
things to be done.
RICH at hand is the task of provis;-
Joining, comforting and rehabilitating
acres of the Old World, continental in
scope, that have been swept by the fury
of war. Compared to this undertake
ing, the relief of famine in India and
China would be the work of a boy.
The task of increasing food production
will require the employment of hum
dreds of thousands of additional men.
Then, there are other things for US
to do at home. The United States,
according to estimates, possesses
more than billion acres of land that
can be used for agricultural produc-.
ton. Less than 400 million acres OF
this vast, tillable domain now are
used. To reach with the pillow our un-
used 600 millions, mighty feats in en-
cheering, drainage, irrigation and
clearing must be accomplished. WalV-
ing for the present all discussions as
to the best method of procedure, all
of us admit that fruitful opportunities
for employment are offered by our
unreclaimed land domain, and that the
resources, industry and skill of the
American people are equal to the task
of reclamation. p
Before 1914, there came to the Unit
ed States each year, between 1,OOO,OOO
and 100000 immigrants. During the
past four years the flow has ceased.
Consequently the farms have been de-
pleted of help, and every industry has
had to run short handed. No one

should be disturbed about America be-
ing able to absorb in the peace-time
industries all the soldiers in France
and the men in our environments.
In America we perceive more clearly
than before the war, the world and its
opportunities overseas. There is ST
IBERIA, for example, reaching from Eu-
rope to the Pacific and practically
doubling the length and breadth of
this country; holding locked within
its vast boundary lines all in soil,
mineral, waterpower and forest that
lies out of doors; and scarcely on
the threshold of industrial develop
ment.
Russia is in mighty struggle,
which, beginning in her overthrow of
the autocracy of the Romanoffs, now
is a contest with Bolshevism which is
nothing less than the autocracy of ig-
ORANGE, the mob and the gutter sue
ceeding that of Romanoffs, Hohen-
zollerns and Hapsburgs.
Great tho the obstacles, Russia is
emerging from the polar ice of ig-
.norance that has held her for CEN
turtles. If in the United States we
overflow our 600 millions in undevelop-
ed land and the new industries that
will be built thereupon, we still have
left a big world outside Of this coun-
try. Russia, in particular, will want
our help. Even before the war, the
State College received calls for scien-
tifically trained young men in Siber-
la. Russian and Siberian students
have attended instruction at this in
stitution and everyone of them said
that in her reconstruction Russia
would look to America more than to
any other nation in the world.
So, if we in America suffer from un-
employment, it will be for no lack of
opportunity here or overseas. There
has never been time in all human
history when, the world was so rich in
opportunity as today. If we, in our
generation, but touch "the hem of
the garment" in the great work to be
done, there shall be service and its re-
wards for everyone.

Dear Friend:-
Had intended to write for some
time. / am kind Of a backslider on
writing letters, but just to let you
know am getting along as well as
could be expected.
l have just been transferred from
the small arms to another new shop
where they started making the

about. / am on the planeinR ma
chine turning out the gun carriers.
There are about 5000 men work.
ing at the arsenal and about 1000
or 5000 women starting off on small
machines and still short of men.
So if you know Of anybody that
would want to come here at the
Rock Island arsenal and do theil

get in as soon as they get here.
With best regards to my For
