A CORRECTION

The correspondent for this column
wishes to correct mistake made in
last weeks issue. The item reading:
"Miss Lulu Dobson has accepted po-
sition in the Pasco schools for the
coming year" should have read: "Miss
Lulu Brown, formerly of the Rich
land schools, has accepted a position
in the Pasco schools for the coming
year." Miss Lulu Dobson is now Mrs.
Sydney Relton and expects to make
her home on her husbands fine
ranch north of Richland this fall and
has no intention of resuming her work
in the schools. The reporter made the
error owing to the fact that Mrs.
Relton has figured prominently in
these columns for many months, both
socially and in educational work, and
the Christian names being the same,
it was accidentally typed on the ma
chine as above.

Ms. Walter Rand and children and
Miss Ida Latimer motored to Hover

j. Sheppard, who is helping H. p.
Hastings thru harvest, coming out
from Kennewick last week, took the
wrong road, reaching Ed. Layton's,
where he spent the balance of the
night. s,
Walter, Rand reports the Cresswell
homestead that he has rented, as yield
ing twenty-five bushels to the acre
This is considered a good yield this
year for the quarter to average IL
sacks to the acre for the seeded acre
age. Most of the ranchers find some
acres yielding SO much but so far this
is the only quarter reported averag-
+ ing this amount. Volunteer is report
led as averaging around two sacks tc
!! the acre and some fields less. Very
little spring wheat will pay for the
seed and labor. This is largely due
to lack of moisture, but partly to the
poor quality of summer fallow, as
many Of these fields grew large crops
of Russian thistle last summer and
this spring the millions of young
thistle absorbed the moisture needed
by the spring wheat.

UNION AGENTS IN DILEMMA
Eastern Chief of Police Has Held That
They Are Not Engaged in Essen
tiaI Occupations.
By WILBUR D. NEsBIT

Labor circles are much interested IN
the result of the ruling of Jacob
Dunno, chief of police Of HacIensack,
n. j., who does not consider the bust,
ness agent Of d trade union engaged
in an essential occupation and that
therefore, under the compulsory work
law, he Is an idler.
Two labor representatives, one liy-
ing in Hackensack and the other in
Ridgefield Park, have been told by the
police chief that they must get essential
work. Officials of some of the trades
councils have made protest, promising
to contest such action. The matter
will be brought before the community
labor board of the district and it Is
proposed that the dispute be left in
allegiance until that board begins it's
work. Joseph Spitz Of Newark, N. j.,
assistant federal director Of employ
ment, is reported to have written that
he considers the business agents to be
engaged In essential work, because of
their assistance to the government In
settling labor disputes.
