TAX EXEMPTION FOR

- HE NEED of the nation is

* HE NEED of the nation is
. children well born and ed
ucated. At best a parent pays
heavily for the upbringing of his
family and in his payment there
is a considerable item of taxa
ton on food, clothing and in the
matter of rent. The more pater-
familias does for the state the
more the state sets him back. 1t
is not easy to see how the Incl
dence of other taxation can be
modified, but the income tax af-
fords an obvious means of tenn
pering the wind to the shorn. In
happier times this new exemp-
ton of $500 a child will doubt
less be raised. It may also be
noted that under the present law
the exemption applies only to the
children under 18. Even in the
bill now in hand this might well
be extended. When boys and
girls go to college the expenses
of their education are doubled
many times, so that it is only
fair to let up a bit on father as
long as they remain in the status
of pupil.-New York Times.

to the hearts of parents of young
children, has appeared here and
elsewhere in Central Washing
ton. No certain cure for it has
yet been found, and almost in
variably the little victim dies or
is left a cripple for life. For
tunately in these epidemics COM
paratively few children are at
tackled. AS a rule they are soon
past. Nevertheless, while this
one is with us parents will do
we'll to exercise the utmost care.
The best place for the little ones
when infantile paraly sis is
abroad is at home, and the worst
place probably is in a gathering
of children. The county health
officer has closed one school as
a measure of prevention. He is
not justified under existing con-
ditions in permitting any of
them to run.-Yakima Republic.

THE BRIDGE WILL BE BUILT

~ 0 LITTLE has been SAID OF
late about the Kennewick-
Pasco bridge that many probably
have thought the proposition
had been forgotten, but The Her
aid is glad to know this week
that
The bridge will be built. J.
This bridge will mean much to
the Yakima valley and to the en-
tire state. One of our greatest
prospects is the tourist trade
and thru not having a bridge
across the Columbia the central
and western part Of the state
has been losing much of this
tourist travel. 49,
Financing this project has not
been easy. 1t has been hard for
many to see the bridge either
from an investment or a state
asset point of view, and of course
many who would have liked to
invest in it, have not had the
money.
Grandview has a few thousand
dollars invested in the bridge
and we predict that Grandview
will benefit greatly from this in
vestment.
Much credit for the final and
successful conclusion of the cam
paign is due the Seattle Times.
Seattle, located $50 miles from
the bridge, had trouble in seeing
the value of the bridge to Sc
attic. A short time ago The
Times jumped into the breach,
not only with a $1,000 pledge,
but with much valuable public
ity and virtually forced the Sc
attic quota over the top. This
help on the part of The Times,
has meant much to us over here
at the home of the bridge.
1t is gratifying to The Herald
to know that the bridge will be
built, and gratifying to know
that the newspapers of the state
have given it such loyal support.
Herald, Grandview.

MEN and farmers, saved many of
the berry raisers of Thurston
county from a big financial loss,
and provided families in the city
with canned fruit for next win
ter.
Strawberries were becoming a
drug on the market and some
thing had to be done or the farm
ers would lose out. County Agent
Stookey, working with the local
Chamber of Commerce and the
Farm Bureau, arranged for a
strawberry week. One-half page
advertisement of "Can Your
Strawberries Now" were run for
three days, and the papers gave
generously of space, including
some front page headliners.
The campaign resulted in many
folks putting up berries who had
never canned before, and many
growers were saved from might
have meant bankruptcy.
In the Olalla valley, Kitsap
county, there was a heavy crop
of strawberries and no sale.
News stories were run about the
crop and as a result 1900 crates
were harvested in one day by the
home Gamers who came and did
the picking. These two examples
illustrate the value of the county
papers to the farmer in dispos-
ing of his produce, if he will but
use that method.

LINKS WITH HISTORIC PAST
Interesting to Trace the Names OF
Streets and Lanes in City Of
Boston Today.

The names of the streets and lanes
of Boston are closely linked with the
historic past. Others there are which
could be connected with Boston only,
such as fremont street, corruption
of "Tri-mountain," by which name
Boston was known to the early set
tiers on account of the three high hills
that serve as a background to the PEN
insula. This replaced the name
"Shawmut," given to it by the Indians.
Mary Harrod Northend writes in the
Century Magazine that the streets OF
this quaint city in the East were laid
out by straying cattle.
After the Revolution the names OF
many Boston streets were changed.
Queen street became Court street, and
King street the State street of today.
School street took It's name from a
school that was erected there. Dark
alleys, leading off the principal streets
on every side, were named after path
WAYS, usually depending on where they
led to. Creek lane originally led to the
old creek. 1t was in tavern days that
this was the center of stage-cOach
life. The old custom house once stood
on Flag alley. Corn court took its
name from the fact that the corn mar
ket was at one time situated there.
Summer street was once know as "Sev-
en- Star Lane" It is now one of Bos.
toms busiest streets.

to think scornfully of the woodworR

figures made by the women of the

History repeats itself. and to this
busy athletic age has come wave of
the old finger-work fashion. Lately
it was picture making with feathers,
now it Is little figures made from
rags. These last were the idea of
Nine. Wolkoff, nee Princess Trou-
betskoy, formerly of the Russian inn
perial court, when at Petrograd,
where the little figures were sold for
the benefit of Russian soldiers. Since
Nine. Wolkoff has been in England
she has modelled little statuettes OF
well-known people, all in character

Odd pieces of rag have been manipu
lated to make these charming little
