So Says Yakima Man Who Was
Fined For Violation of
Traffic Ordinance.

]. w. Herbert of Yakima who was
arrested here several days ago and fin
ed on a charge of having violated the
city traffic ordinance has written to
Mayor G. E. Tweedt to protest the
slow process of local justice and the
judges idea of a light fine. His
letter in part follows:
"For your information / will state
the facts of the case briefly and 1
believe your chief will corroborate my
statement. Being late for an ap-
pointment at Prosser stopped my car
in front of the Kennewick Hotel fac
ing North parallel to the curb and six
or eight foot to the left of the center
of the street and about the same dis
lance from. the left curb, and ran into
the hotel to pay my bill and get my
bag. This occupied not more than a
minute and a half or two minutes.

your worthy chief of police and COM
PEELED to wait for two hours until the
judge could be found. / was then
tried in due form on a formal charge
Of having parked" my car on the
left side of the street, which of course
was not technically correct as had
not parked the car at all and had not
violated the ordinance under which ]
was tried. However, / had violated
some ordinance which neither the
judge nor your chief of police could
cate SO in spite of my plea of ex-
tenuating circumstances in addition
to the technical error in the complaint
I was ssfound guilty as charged" and
given what your judge was pleased to
call a very light fine of $500 and
Acosts," making $6I0 for stopping
two minutes on a forbidden spot In
the streets of your.fair city. Follow

ceeding the speed limit. / could not
rait to witness the narrowing de-
tells of his trial but expect to read in

err that he was hung or shot with his
back to the city Jail.
There are two points wish to
make in this letter to you; the first
and most important is that it is a
gross injustice to the business men
visiting your city to be held up at
loss of valuable time for three hours
awaiting the pleasure of your SOCIAL

best method of financing the develop
ment.
General discussion followed and it
was decided that it might be possible
to sell the amount of the bonds, which
water district could, under the law,
authorize to land owners within the
boundaries of the contemplated dis
trict. On motion, unanimously car
ried, the chair appointed Charles
Bentley, Carl G. Williams, V. Heber-
lein, Charles E. Nicoson and Hans
Smith a committee to determine the
land which should be included, its
ownership and assessed valuation, to
ascertain whether bonds could be sold
and make all preliminary arrange
ments necessary This committee is
to make report on progress at a
meeting at Amon's school house on
Saturday evening, July 10.
On Monday member of the execu-
tive committee was in Prosser secur-
ing from the county treasurer sched-
ule of ownership and assessed valua-
tions of lands which had been selected
to comprise the water district.
The outcome of this novel enter
prise will be watched with great in
terest by owners of Horse Heaven
land. If successful other districts
will be, formed.
One interested rancher said: ut cost
me twelve hundred dollars in 1918. to
haul water. I'm ready to gamble the
five per cent per acre of the assessed
valuation of my land in an attempt
to get rid Of this high overhead cost
for water and will take my share of
the bond issue and then some, if neces-
sary, to give the matter fair trial.
We have been dry long enough and

no reason why we should not get ii

BETTER FARMING HINTS
GET SOMETHING ON STUBBLE
 LAND

GET SOMETHING ON sTUBBLE
 LAND
 The yields of forage produced from plantings of soybeans, pea nuts and sorghum on stubble land will be good even though lighter than from earlier plant ingS. Corn planted in rows five or six feet apart with beans or peanuts drilled through the middle is good practice where grain is desired and the forage can be pastured. Planting bea1s in the row with corn makes an excellent combination for the si 10, especially on good soils.
 CULTIVATE CORN CAREFULLY
 Corn should not be cultivated too deeply. After the plants are of good size the cultivation breaks off the roots that extend well into the middles and near the surface. Deep cultivation also turns up clods and forms air pockets. permitting soil to dry out. Corn should never be cultivated deeply after the plants are foot tall. After heavy rains cultivate as soon as the surface is dry enough to work well. In this way, the soil mulch will be established and excessive evapo- ration will be avoided.
 CAN FRUIT WITHOUT SUGAR.
 SAVE ALL WILD BERRIES
 There will be great quantities of wild berries and other fruit in Arkansas this year. Farm girls and housewives will find it pro- ftaole to gather this fruit and can it either for home consump- ton or for sale. It is not neces- sary to add sugar at the time of canning to make them keep. It can be added by the customer when ready for use.
 HATCH CHICKENS IN JUNE. NOT
 TOO LATE
 Let's get oyer the idea shat chickens cannot be hatched dur ing the sumner and fall. The price of chickens and eggs will remain high and every farmer can increase his poultry produc- aon without very much extra cost. Summer chicks should have plenty of protein supplied by pea, bean or peanut meal There is still time to plant corn, soybeans and peanuts for feed Raise bullets for eggs next spring

Fr. DeGroote Shows How All
are Called to Labor
and Action.

Why stand you here all the day
idle" was the text used by Rev.
John F. DeGroote of ST. Patrick's
church in his sermon for Septua-
gesima Sunday. The text is taken
from the gospel OF St. Mathew, goth
chapter. first to seventeenth verses.
Father DeGroOte cited st. Paul
as the apostle of labor, the saint
who was forced to chastise his own
body, lest, while preaching TO 9TH
ers, he himself fall.
"St. Paul." said Fr. DeGroote.
was brought into the church by a
miracle which means a special act
transcending all earthly powers, and
coming only through the direct in
terventi0n OF God ST. Paul. who
was then called saul. was a perse-
cutor of Christ. He was on the
road 10 Damascus when God called
him 10 the church. From that time
until his death he brought the name
Of Christ with him wherever he
went.
Was Apostle OF Action.
"St Paul was also an apostle of
action: he was filled with that zeal
for God that permitted Of no idle
ness. And that is the word this
mornings gospel sends out. Be no
idlers, but work continuously for
your eternal salvation. IL is useless
to be hearers of the word unless il
is followed by action. Not every
one that says Lord, Lord shall be
saved.
Christ told his disciples that He
loved them and then proved it. He
washed the feet of his disciples and
even those of Judas. He that is
Lord must become servant of all.
His death was a glorious victory Of
love.
1--WE are all called to labor. not
the wonderful labor of the saints
but the every day work we do,
whether it be in the Office or factory.
We must have charity, we must be
patient, we must be kind.

ERECT PLANT FOR
MAKING HELIUN|
Factory to Make Substitute
for Hydrogen Will be
Ready April /.

FORT WORTH, Texas. Feb. IL
The only helium plant in the world
is being erected in North Fort Worth
by the United States navy depart
ment at a cost of 100000. The
plants product is expected to re-
move the last danger element from
ballooning.
Experts declare that production Of
helium in quantities will soon make
It possible for big passenger and
freight airships to travel everywhere
will surpass even the fleet airplane
Is Non-InfIammable.
Helium, the material Count Zeppe-
lin needed TO make his big airplane
a success. removes the danger of fire
from the gas filling in the balloon.
American scientists. urged on by the
English government, are responsible
for the discovery and development Of
helium. The natural gas of certain
wells at Petrolia, in Clay county, is
the best ever found for the eXtrac-
ton of the helium. The products Of
the wells will be piped to Fort Worth
prepared for the balloons and dis
tributed wherever the navy needs it.
The government is now building the
pipe line at a cost OF $4,000, 600.
Helium is said TO have approx
mately 90 per cent of the lifting
power of hydrogen and is non-in-
flammable. An airship inflated with
helium can not be brought down IN
flames and can maintain speed Of an
airplane. Heretofore, the gas filed
balloon was at the mercy of the
quicker airplane which could set the
balloon blazing with bullets.
When America entered the world
war the British government referred
to the United States bureau Of mines
the problem OF the industrial produc-
ton of helium. Such a substitute
for hydrogen was known to exist. but
its cost was deemed prohibitive.
Erect Experimental Plant.
Funds for experimental work were
given TO the bureau Of mines by the
Joint army and navy board Of rigid
airships. The experiment plant was

it was decided industrial helium had
been produced economically and eff
ficiently at the experimental plant.
Greatest secrecy was exercised by
the government in conducting the
experiment here Soldiers were
kept on guard duty day and night:
a high fence was thrown up and no
one was allowed to approach. News
papers were cautioned by govern
ment officials against mentioning ex-
istence OF the plant This injunc-
ton was not removed until the arm
istice was signed.
The permanent plant will be in
full operation by April 1. according
