| The Presidents direction to Mr..
Hoover that he should enlarge the ac-
tivities of the Commission for Relief
in Belgium to embrace the relation
of the United States to this recon
struction program and that he should
handle all matters in connection with
this American relationship is a mat
ter of the most intense satisfaction 10
every Belgian.
The enlarged shipments of food al.
ready started to Belgium to meet the
present emergency, the large orders
just being given for cloth, the great
response of the American people to
Mr.. Hoover's appeal through the Red
Cross for second hand clothing and
the measures under consideration for
prompt amelioration in other direc-
tons are all in line with the marvel
Gus activity of the Commission
throughout the whole Of the last four
years.
l do not forget that the Commits
sion for Relief in Belgium was form
ed under Mr., Hoover,s direction on
the twenty-sixth Of October, 1914, and
that the first cargoes of food to starv-
ing Brussels arrived through the Ger
man lines and in the city of Brussels
on the second day of November.
That Mr.. Hoover and his associates
in the Commission for Relief in Bel
GUM and in the Food Administration
are to have charge of this enlarged
interest Of the American people in
Belgium will give a feeling of abso-
lutte confidence to the whole of our
people and this evidence of Americas
continued solicitude will be an encour-
agement and stimulation to my people
second only to their actual liberation
from German oppression.
The English and French govern
ments have already evidenced their
solicitude in this matter, and their
Willingness to cooperate and give sup
port to Belgium in her task of reha-
bilitation. 1t must always be born in
mind that over four million of our
seven million people are destitute and
are today subsisting in soup lines; that
except for the garments provided
through the Relief Commission, they
have had no textiles for over four
years; that the whole clock of indus
try has been stopped and that the
Germans have carted away to Ger
many all the machinery which they
did not destroy in Belgium.
They destroyed our railways, our
mines and our canals. Never before
has country been reduced to such
a plight as ours today and never has
country had such friends. We have
won the war. We must now bend
every effort to restore our country and
prepare it for its glorious future.

Last Sunday evening as DR.. A. A.

the telephone rang. 1t was the health

friends amused themselves for time
wandering about the streets wonder

passing looked.

P. P. & l. SUPPLYING
JUICE FROM STEAM PLANTS
Break in Pipe Line Puts Big Plant on
Walla Walla River Out of
Commission

j. H. Siegfried, juice boss of the
Pacific Power & Light company, is
threatening to enlist as shock troop
er so he can take things easy. just
now he is trying to keep the company's
transmission lines loaded by the OPP
Grafton of steam auxiliary plants in
this city, Yakima and Walla Walla.
The cause of Mr.. Siegfried's
troubles is the breaking of the big pipe
line which feeds the generating plant
on the Walla Walla river. Not only
is the pipe line broken but part of
the mountain side has been washed
away and it will probably take several
weeks to repair the damage.
On account of the low water in the
Naches the hydro-electric plant there
has not been running at full capacity
and the big load has been on the Wal
la Walla plant, consequently the break
seriously cripples the entire transmits
sion system.
Mr.. Siegfried wants firemen for the
local plant, and wants them badly.

and gave Keinewick hurried once
over Sunday and Monday morning on
his way to Spokane from Camp Lewis.
'eI'm simply feeling great and am

and with the same pep he used to dis
Elay in the good old days when he
welded the megaphone down on
Lynchs corner. He has been relieved

by physical moral and intellectual
standards the men who today wear

WILL NOT KEEP
GROWERS WAITING
Kennewick Branch of Spokane
FruitgrOwers to Receive Re-
turns from Fruit Direct

Hereafter the members of the Ken
newick branch of the Spokane Fruit
growers company are not to be kept
waiting for their money until pools
are closed or the accounts are checked
up in the head offices at Spokane.
Under the new plan the Northwest
ern Fruit Exchange, the selling agent,
will deduct its handling charge of 10
cents a box and remit the balance to
the cashier of the Kennewick branch
who will distribute it without delay
to the growers and not wait until the
separate pools are closed. w. L. Cra-
yer has been made cashier and is
bonded for $4,000.
The company is also giving its mem
bers the option of two contracts. New
contract forms are being mailed to all
members this week and if they choose
they may cancel their former menu
berships, surrender their stock in the
company and sign up contract which
calls for no obligation other than to
deliver their fruit to the Spokane COM
pany and to pay the regular selling
and warehouse charges. These con-
tracts are for the year only and the
signer is released from all obligations
to the company at the close Of the ship
ping season. sIf members wish to re-
tain their stock they continue to pay
the 2k cents per box into the reserve
fund for which they receive stock.
& A membership meeting has been
called for Monday evening in the ware
house at which time the details of the
new plan will be thoroly explained.

FIRST DAY FOR DUCKS

The old fellows and the cripples who
are to be denied the sport of cunning
for the Boche can load up and go af-
ter the ducks at sunrise next Monday
morning. Because of the high price
of ammunition and the shortage of la
bor everywhere, it is expected that the
opening day will be much quieter this
year than in the past. Yet it is not
going to be entirely safe for every
mallard that strays from the friendly
waters of the Columbia to the ponds
up and down the valley.

FINE COMPLIMENT

Without doubt the finest compliment
that has ever been paid any man in
Benton county thru the medium of the
ballot box was paid F. L. Bash of Han
ford who was a candidate in Tues
days primaries for denomination for
commissioner in the first district. In
his home precinct there were but four
votes cast against him in his own par
ty and two democrats wrote his name
on their ballots. Mr.. Bash received
more votes in his home precinct than
his opponent received in the district.
