WANT BETTER SERVICE
Local People Not Pleased with Delay
In Receiving Mail


AS usual, after the delay in receiv-
ing the mail in Richland, occasioned
by the poor service during the time
that ice makes transportation on the
Columbia river impossible, there is a
movement on foot among certain peo-
pie in the district to try and find some
means by which the matter can be
brought to the attention of the pro-
per officials and some method devised
so that the mail received in Kenne-
wick after a. M, the time the boat
leaves in the morning, will not have
to lie there until z o'clock the next day.
There is really no excuse for this,
as an auto stage could leave Kenne-
wick every day at about o'clock,
which would pick up all the mail ar
irving there at noon and deliver the
same here before 2 o'clock that day
as it was received. AS it is, under the
present conditions, no matter how i'm
portant a letter may be, if it is re-
ceived in Kennewick after seven in
the morning, it is not delivered in
Richland until about nine o'clock the
next day. Rather primitive accom-
mediation in this day of airships and
racing cars.

Spring has surely come. No, we are
not Judging this by the weather, but
by the fact that Harry Hutton has ar
rived on the scene from Portland, Or,
where he has been alternating for the
winter. For the past eight years the
genial pump boss at Pump No. has
been harbinger of spring in the Rich
land country and as soon as he arrives
the farmers begin to think about the
spring planning and planting and the
local irrigation company knows that
it is time to see if the fumes are
leaking, or measuring boxes are out
of Whack.

couraged with the support which they
have received to date in the matter

A large mail order house has pro-
missed a monograph, another ten dol
lars worth of games, while everyone
in the district is bcsieging the COM
mite with offers of magazines and
books which can Be placed on the
tables in the reading room. The base

chosen as the most suitable place for
the library, which will be open ev-
cry evening in the near future and
some man will offer his services for
each evening so that there will al
ways be someone in charge of the
room.
Lecturers from the State College
will come to Richland once or twice a
month to deliver addresses at the Ii
brary rooms along lines of interest
to farmers and everyone in the Rich
land district should get the library
habit and make it point to hear ev-

the library will be announced in these
columns as well as other plans which |
the committee hopes to formulate for
the benefit of the people of Richland.

his parents, accompanied by his wife
and infant daughter, gave most in
teresting address before the students
of the grade and high schools last

conflict. He was wounded three times
in the trenches and was finally reliev-
ed of duty and sent home to Canada.
The young people who heard him talk
are most enthusiastic in their praise
of his lecture, as they say that it
brought the war more closely home to
them than anything they have heard
or read during the period of the con-
flict.

ATTENDS MEETING
OF WRITER FOLK
Richland Correspondent Praises
University School of
Journalism

respondent had the pleasure of attend
i ing the Seventh Annual Newspaper
Institute at which men and womer
prominent in the newspaper field thru
out the Northwest met to discuss theil
problems and attempt to find some
solution for the many questions which
are of vital Importance to those in
the publicity game at this time.
1t was one of the most instructive
meetings which the writer has ever
attended; every phase of the newspaper
business being taken up in turn, from
the necessity of finding out the actual
cost of the finished product to the best
means of running down and corraling
the elusive local.
Prominent men from the leading
dailies of Seattle gave talks along
lines of interest to the newspaper fra
ternity. j. Fred Braid, advertising
manager for the Seattle Times, in his
talk, touched on phases of the adver-
Using game which are Of such vital in
terest to the success of the daily or
country newspaper publisher.
A. R. Marsh, secretary of the Che
halls Commercial club, one of the
most progressive organizations of its
kind in the Northwest, gave an illus
trated lecture on community spirit,
how the commercial clubs, if alive, can
develop local interest in civic affairs
and, assisted by the newspaper in the
town, bring about many needed re-
forms and help to put their local COM
munity on the map in earnest.
Too much credit for the success of
the Institute cannot be given to the
members of the faculty of the school
of Journalism Of the University. Prof.
F. Kennedy, in lengthy talk, inn
pressed upon the newspaper men the
necessity of installing a cost system
which would enable them to tell to a
cent what their actual expense and
income was.
Miss Grace Edgington, of the Uni
had charge of the women's
session, and it was thru her untiring
efforts that this new departure from
the regular program proved such al
decided success. The women folks
proved Cat least to their own salts
faction) that they were right on the
job; entitled to a pay envelope and
that "friend husband or employer
would probably have to quit the news
paper business if the "lady CORES
pondent" decided to enter other more
fields.
In closing the writer wishes to speak
q word to the young men and women
Of the Richland and Kennewick dis
bricts who may feel that there is fu-
5ure for them in the newspaper field
Or other lines of literature. Allow
nothing to stand in your way; take
4 one or two-years' course at the u. |
School of Journalism, where this great |
state of ours has provided the best
Of instructors, and facilities for the |
teaching of journalism at minimum
If expense to the student. No one who
has a literary bent can afford to miss
his wonderful opportunity.
The annual banquet of the Institute |
proved, as usual, the happy wind-up
to the session, and the "jazz stuff"
pulled off by the committee in charge
sent everyone home at the close of the
evening with decided kink in the
side from the excessive merriment,
provoked by the original toasts and !
stunts provided for their entertain
nent.

Cucumber Beetle
RY z. w. WEsLER.

The striped cucumber beetle, some.
times called the striped bug, or "cuke"
bug, Is asbeetle measuring about three
sixteenths of an inch in length. 1t is
yellow above, with black head and
wing covers bearing three black
stripes, hence the name.
The beetle has been rather severe
in its attack on the cucumbers, squash
es and pumpkins this year due to the
late season. The beetles injure the
plants by eating the leaves and gnaw-
ing the stems and roots.
Since the beetles usually feed on
the under side of the leaves near the
ground, the application of a material
offensive to their sense OF smell is
more effective than a poison. On a
large scale the plants are usually
sprayed with dilute bordeaux mixture,
to which has been added one OF the
stomach poisons.
In the small garden 1t is easier to
dust the plants with lime, sifted ashes
or some other fine powder to which
has been added a small quantity OF
crude carbolic acid A teaspoonful
OF the liquid added to one gallon OF
the powder is strong enough Use a
tin can, with one end punctured full
OF holes, as a buster Do not apply
the dust too heavily for it may injure
the leaves. 1t is better to apply light
amounts at frequent intervals.

ARMY WORM
CONTINUED from Page one)

the danger will end within four or
five days.
The formula for the poison bran
calls for mixture of twenty-five
pounds Of bran with one pound of
Paris green or white arsenic To this
is added two quarts of stale molasses,
three lemons or oranges. The bran and
poison are mixed dry with a paddle
and then the oranges and molasses
added. He recommended that the poi
son bran be scattered on the ground,
five to ten pounds to the acre The
bran should be thrown on the ground
rather hard to insure the breaking
up of the particles.
He advocated the construction of
two trenches if one was not sufficient
to hold the worms. He urged the
farmers to pillow the burrows and dig
the trenches around all fields adjoin-
ing the infected lands.
He stated that the worm died within
twenty-four hours after getting the
poison.
The worms, according to Mr.. Larri-
more, are liable to appear in fields
which contained heavy growth two
months ago. The farmers should also
watch the trenches at night, as the
worms are more active after shutdown.
If necessary the farmers should stay
on the job all night or until daybreak.

WAYNE IN NEED
OF COUNTY AGENT,
FARMERS BELIEVE

Wayne county needs a county agent
as she never needed one before. in the
face of the approach of the army worm,
the terrible crop pest which has just
appeared in Henry county. is the opin-
ion of several of the leading progress
sive farmers of the county.
Dispatches from Newcastle and
Muncie indicated that the county
agents of these counties are leading
the fight against the crop plague.
bringing expert advice and the latest
methods for suppression. By their
presence in the fight, they provide a
central rallying point and central
generalship, said one veteran farmer
Thursday.
Systematic inspection to find the
first traces Of the worm in this county,
directed from a central authority, is
badly needed. Now every farmer in
the county is dreading the finding of
the worm in his fields, but what can
he do when he does find it?
Is Central Head.
"a county agent should be on the
Job in Wayne county to watch for
the first signs of this menace. Such
a man might save his years salary
in one hour, If he were prompt enough
to get to the scene of any outbreak
and led the fight in the proper man
ner.
Another pest has been observed in
the wheat fields within the last few
days, tiny yellow worm. Whether
this Is injurious of not we do not
know and the biological professor al
Earlham, who has no reason to spe
cialize in these things is the nearest
authority, short of Purdue.

Employment Service
Is Defended By Lane
tBv Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, June 19.-In de-
Tending the United States employment
service before a joint meeting today
of the House and Senate labor commit
tees, Secretary Wilson denied that the
labor department was being operated
solely in the interest of organized
labor.
The secretary charged that there
has been systematic and persistent
campaign Of misrepresentation, car
ried on against the employment service
because of its efforts to recruit only
union men for ship yards, at Seattle,
Wash. He explained that under con-
tracts made between the ship yard
owners and labor organizations in
Seattle, in which the government had
no part, those yards were operated by
union labor only and declared that in
view of this condition it would have
been "a crime to have sent non-union
men to Seattle in the hope of finding
work
