Friendly Boy, Tlmid Cat.

Standing on the sidewalk in front
Of a dwelling house in a midtown
street, garbage can with. cover on
it and with some shreds Of stuff stick
ing out from under the cover. A big
cat standing on its hind legs at the
can, pulling off this stuff and trying to
get the cover off.
A little down the street was a small
boy, bright small boy Of about seven
years, and when he saw the hungry
cat at the can he resolved to help. So
he walked up quietly and removed the
cover and then stood back few PAGES
with it, holding the cover in front of
him as warrior holds his shield.
But the cat had never met boy like
that, and instead of staying to supply
itself at the bounteouS store thus made
SO easily accessible, it wheeled and
fled.-New York Times.

Boosting Home Products

IN the March number of the
New West Magazine, pub
hshed in Salt Lake City, we find
a strong boost for home indus
tries from the pen of Mrs. A. E..
Larson, of Yakima, chairman of
the industrial committee of the
State Federation of Woman's
clubs. The following excerpt is
of especial interest to Kenne-
wick:
I'VE cannot primarily blame
the merchants for carrying only
certain brands Of goods, because
he caters to the desires of his
customers. If we continually
ask for western made goods, the
merchant will quickly stock up
to meet that insistent demand.
1t is not necessarily a lack of
loyalty, but lack of knowledge
that prompts the housewife to
use eastern brands of manufac-
tured goods when the same are
made at home. The people need
to be informed and educated re-
(warding the products of their
Estate. In this connection to
.show a lack of knowledge, I will
frelate the following, incident
which occurred in my home city !:
'aThe Yakima Valley boasts of
a prize product Church's grape
juice, manufactured at Kenne-
|lwick, less than a hundred miles
|iaway. 1t was awarded the grand
Eprizc at the Panama EXPOSE
Stions at San Francisco and San
Diego, Cal.
u "A couple of years ago the
4club women of Yakima were
Launching buy-at-home CAM
Fpaign. One of the members no
@ticed a grocery store window all
Ndressed up with another well
known brand of grape juice not
made in Washington. When the
clerk told her that this product
( was manufactured in an eastern
hcity, and that she was about the
twenty fifth woman that had in
.3quired that morning and that he
would like to know what the fuss
was all about, the club woman
proceeded to inform him about
1.-THE buy-at-home campaign. The
I'window was changed and the
members of the grocery firm are
1'now strong supporters OF home
Eproducts and western brands. Ii

practice of such policies, great
results will follow.
1T is practical patriotism to
buy and use wares that are made
and sold in our midst instead of
those made elsewhere, when we
can obtain just as good at home
and in many instances a super
ior quality"

Resuming Business

nUSINESS is TIMID about
~ resuming normal opera
tons, according to authorities,
each fellow holding back for the
other, and all holding back for
lower prices. Other authorities
tell us that we have attained
new price level, higher prices, to
which we must accustom our
selves, while still others, among
them Secretary Redfeld, declare
that the government, capital and
labor must make a joint endeav-
or to bring about a level of
prices such that the government
can turn and say to the general
public: "This is a fair basis of
prices"
There is no doubt that certain
prices the public has to pay are
ridiculous and inexcusable, but
there are other high prices in
force necessitated by the high
cost of production.
In the meantime the business
of this country continues to be
hesitant, the heads of which
have not made up their minds
whether prices are going to come
down or stay at their present
level.
There is one thing certain: as
long as this attitude continues
there will be little business. If
the so-called authorities on bust
ness relations can settle this
question definitely, then business
will pick up again.
However, it is certain that the
business man who waits for
prices to get down to the 1914
standard is going to be left be-
hind in the industrial race.

~ HERE is a spirit of opti-

ed the other day to a prominent
fruit grower who is going to
harvest 'steen thousand boxes of
peaches. In answer to a ques-
ton concerning frost injury in
his orchard, he replied, 81 have
not looked at any of the blossoms
yet, but | know / am going to

a minute about frost. / have
just had a bunch all along that
we were going to get by without
a frost this year and we are.
Carl Williams came in from the
Horse Heaven hills the first of

ing so fine that he wanted to bet
that we have the biggest fruit
crop we have ever had, Il don't

pessimistic predictions. This

The future of the children of Bar-

who will have the right to vote on
the coming school bond issue, as out

1t will be for them TO say whether
or not the vested right of every A

be spread over a period of years and
present taxation can be lowered.

which will enable our boys and girls
to earn a living, but it is the corner
stone on which character is built. 1t
