Auction sales are all the style in
Richland these days, with two this
week, one at the Harry Van Horn
Ranch and the other at Alfred Ham,
mer's ranch. 1t would seem that the
people hereabouts are mighty pros
porous, judging by the good prices
obtained for stuff at the sales, and
there seems to be no scarcity of ready
money. - --2-''' -:

Richland residents doin't realize in
how many ways they are better off
than the residents Of the large cities
during these days Of food shortages
and strikes. The writer is in receipt
Of letter from her mother in Seattle
inquiring in regard to our local sugar
situation and stating that the most
sugar which a person can purchase at
one time in Seattle is liz pounds -
about enough to sweeten the coffee Of
the average family for day. Sugar
was shipped in a cardboard box from
Richland to Seattle to relieve tempo
rarily this pitiful CD condition, but
it certainly seems strange to get an
s.. o. S. from a large city to a coun-
try relative asking for one Of the
commonest articles of food stuffs. We
should worry about the coal strike
with all the sage brush and drift wood
at our very doors. If it were not SYM
pathy for our more benighted rela-
tives in the large cities we would not
even be interested. Heap up the drift
wood, bring on the strained honey and
take life as we find it.
