NEXT YEAR

|>S KENNEWICK to have an
agricultural fair again next
year? This question is being repeat
edly asked. The answer. Kennewick
is. ae- = #.zz4@s
To not have a fair would be the
height of discourtesy to those who
had much better products than were
displayed but did not bring them in,
and to those who did not have suffi-
cient notice to prepare exhibits.
This year the Grange and Farm Bu-
reau did not decide to hold fair un-
til spring which allowed not more
than six months notice. For next
years event there will be whole
twelve-month preparation period.
And twelve months is none too long
planning period. The three organi-
cations which co-operated in this
years fair should Immediately APP
point their committees for next year
and these committees should in turn
organize and get to work right now.
With the material collected at the
little fair this year Benton county
won second prize in the county COM
petition at the state fair. Those who
saw the exhibit are of the opinion
that Benton county had the products
to have easily won first had little
more care been given to selection and
arrangement. This is nothing new.
Winning prizes at fairs is largely a
question of knowing what to display
and how to display it. This rather
than field production is the determin-
ing factor.
Benton county's farms will bring
home the prize money every year if
they are given fair chance. What is
needed is someone to begin early in
the growing season to make selections
and lay definite plans for the falls
exhibit. This should be the work of
the fair committees which should be
be appointed now.

UNEMPLOYMENT

~F The Courier-Reporter were to
testify before the unemployment
conference now in progress in Wash
ington, d. c., it would suggest that
the government quit monkeying with
those established lines of business
where the sum total of its Interior
ence has been to regulate, repress, and
retard.
The country's industries have been
too much doped-up. What they need
more than anything else is respite
from the remedial connections and an
opportunity to recover by natural re-
sources.
Where individual initiative and in
dividual effort is prepared to function
it should be permitted to function
naturally and normally; it should be
bolstered up and not hammered down.
The government might well direct
it's attention and confine its efforts to
those enterprises where in the past
its endeavors have been really con-
structive. Reclamation, for instance,
offers very promising field for gov
ernmental relief of unemployment
There are in the United States, espec-
tally in the West, numerous projects,
like the Kennewick Irrigation project
where construction could start immed-
lately after the government places its
credit back of it-projects which have
been awaiting the fu1fillment of the
oft-delayed promises of congress.
For the most part these projects
are in proven territory-are either un-
completed units of existing projects OF
adjacent to projects which have paid

fact was that he had been taken in by the SANG

looking for easy money and quick returns in

never should lose sight OF the fact that there

Farmers and Reserve Banks.

That the federal reserve banks have come
in for a deal of criticism and misunderstand-
ing of late is shown in the questions and an
swers which have developed at farmer banker
conferences There have been a number OF
these meetings in the last six months in the
northwest The questions there brought up
witness to widespread feeling that the fed
eral reserve banks do not supply credit to
farmers as literally they should.
There is evidence of feeling, the part
OF some, that these banks stand ready to aid
big business but not to help the farmer out
of his difficulties. The Indictment grows out
of misconception of the function of the fed
eral reserve banks. They were never intended
as loan banks operating continuously through
out the year. They were designed as reserve
banks that would employ their loaning power
for short periods, in time Of stress or seasonal
demand. The longer credit requirements of
farmers should be taken care OF by the farm
loan banks, and no doubt they will be as soon
as these banks get under way.

With Other Editors
Vice Presidents.
Peoria Journal

The annual convention of the International
Association for Identification is being held in
Washington. There is not much news in that
statement but President Harding submitted to
having his finger and thumb prints made yes
terday by finger print experts who belonged to
the associaton-and this puts some news into
the story.
But we rise to remark that there is little
need for taking the finger prints of president
of the United States. He can be identified BY
his beaming face, his newspaper English his
cane, his championship dog. his English walk
ing coat-and by a hundred thousand peonle

Hay Fever and Government.

Hay fever sufferers in convention in Du-
luth adopted resolutions declaring for govern
ment regulation of that malady. That is it
was the sense of the convention that the gov
eminent should put into effect legislation for
its more effective control. All other authority
seems to have failed The hay feverites have
confidence in government truly touching or
would seem to have. Perhaps, however, they
are only turning to government as a last re-
sort. Most experience seems to show that
while the government might pass laws, appoint
commissions and make appropriations these
activities would have little effect on sneezing.
So far as that goes some evils sought to be
thus regulated have sneezed in the govern
ment's face.
Persons afflicted as these persons are can
not be demonstrated with If they are trying
anything that suggests itself to reason to
ameliorate their condition or Danish the cause
of it. But they ought to be warned not to
pin too much faith in government If hay
fever was something that could be taxed the
government could easily drive it out of bust
ness, would be glad to, in fact That would
be right in the governments line. But, I'M
fortunately, it is only the sufferers from it that
the government can tax, and somehow that
doesn't help. Makes them worse if ANYTHING
These afflicted citizens have enough to con-
tend with without chasing elusive hopes. We
doubt if the League Of Nations could help.

Bible as a Classic.

in regular course now offered at Column
bia university the bible is to be taught along
the lines as courses in Shakespeare Mil
ton or Dante. This course ought to be popu-
lar and we believe it will be. Many institu-
tons of higher education have avoided this
book because of a peculiar sort of fear The
thought has prevailed quite generally that the
bible itself could not be separated from creeds.
Now that Columbia has had the courage to dis
miss this old fear we shall hope that the bible
may come into its own among the other great
works of literature.
Many of the poets and novelfsts are studied
IN large measure for the inspiration thew
are capable oof giving to students. They are
studied for style and to teach the proper use
Oh the mother tongue Why should we not
put the bible where it belongs-at the head of
the books worth studying?
Columbia never makes a failure of an,-
work 1t undertakes, and we are sure the new
course IN the study OF the bible will be a real
success. After all, why should we worry so
much about the creeds of different denom;na-
tons when all of our great churches agree on
the fundamental principles of religion? Men
ana women representing MANY different
churches will study the bible at Columbia and
all churches will profit. And those utterly
lacking IN religious faith, if there are anv
saeh' VIII have an opportunity to become &C
qannted with one of the real masterpieces of
literature Let's lay aside our fears of the
Dlole and accept it universally as the best text
DOCK that could possibly be used in any school
In any land. Now that Columbia has takcn
TINS important step, without fear or pretudice
we may expect that cultured people throusb-
out the country will consider it a mark of ie
n0Tance not to be familiar with the bible as
they are with the other classics Thus the
whole country will profit by the examnIs Of

Tumor and the Womau.

Prejudice based ON ignorance
and deliberate deception gives rise
to fear of the surgeon that spells
tragedy for many a woman.
Surgery is. a solacing thing,
bringing surcease tS the sufferer at
least for a while, and never pain
or suffering. l speak not as a doc
tor, but as a patient There are
some disease titles which truly
harrow the mind of a doctor, who
knows what we do not understand
about them; there is no operation
known to modern surgery that l
would fear to undergo, now that I
have had my little turn as a surgi-
cal patient. There is nothing dis
agreeable or difficult about taking
an anesthetic, if you know some
thing of anesthetics, their safety
| and their value. l say it is ignor-
ance that gives surgery such an
unmerited place in the minds of
the unenlightened.
Thank heaven the common tu-
NOR of the womb, called fibroid
tumor, is now amenable to radium
treatment in a majority of cases,
though operative removal is una
voidable in a minority of cases.
This fibroid (there may be several
in an individual case) is not to be
confused with cancer. Tumor
means any swelling or enlargement
or lump-a wart, a wen. a harm
less fatty lump, a fibroid. Cancer
means degeneration of some tissue
or organ, not a new growth. Oc-
caslonally a more or less harmless
tumor of long duration does under I
go cancerous degeneration, to be
sure. But tumor is something /
newly developed, cancer is break |
ing down of some previously exist /
ing structure. Charlatans and their ,
agents (often female, to the shame |
of the SEX prefer victims to con-
fuse tumor and cancer, OF course.
The simple truth, even a knowledge :,
OF physiology, soon shows the
threatened victim the absurdity of
false appeals. Women. unmarried
or married, young or old. who SUI

inc to be peculiar to their sex"
and fail to consult their physician,
on the ground that it seems indel-
icate to do so, make a sad mistake.
