Debating Opportunity.

Should the United States open
trade relations with Russiaf
Should we give employment to
our people by supplying the Russ
slams with the goods they need in
such enormous quantities, and foi
which they are ready to pay in goldi
OThe Russian government is boil
shevistic, in which we of America
do not believe,
But we are not the Russian peo-
pie. and it is not our business to
dictate the form of government
under which they shall live. We
may question their methods. but
the principle of nou-interference
remains the same.
Business today is not idealistic.
1t is keen and competitive instead,
aud the fellow who applies Uptopi"
an dreams to his commercial active
tiles will soon cease to have any,
thing but dreams.
If q man of questionable characs
ter should walk into a local store
and ask for a suit of clothes the
merchant would promptly sell them
to him, and we would think no less
of the merchants for doing so.
We may not think much of tie
Russian form of government. but
our goods are manufactured to sell,
and if we are going to apply the
acid test to every individual before
he is allowed to purchase them we
fear these same goods will become
a drug in our own market.

face will not improve either our
personal appearance or onr ecnom

No doubt the child had seen the
members of the family move the

Manager Fred D. Pyle for the irri-
CATION district is beginning to OBJ
ject just little to the use made of
the canal and right of way, and goes
on to say:
Some people are thoughtlessly
dumping trash, tree limbs, weeds and
brush on the canal right Of way thru
Kennewick. This should not be done.
The Irrigation District has been try
ing to clean up the right of way so as
to help the general appearance Of the
town, in which they should have the
assistance Of everyone.
Some Of the boys who swim in the
canal have been throwing glass insul-
ators, bottles, tin cans and boards into
the canal. The glass and cans make
it dangerous for others who go in the
water and the cans and boards lodge
in the headgates making it difficult to
maintain good service.
The Irrigation District is pleased to
have reasonable use made of its prop
erty but wishes the assistance OF ev-
eryone in keeping it in good condition
so that it will not become nuisance

STORAGE CAPACITY is
MORE THAN DOUBLED
Church Mfg. Co. Can Now Store 1S0
Carloads of Apples

Fruit growers and packing house
managers are again beginning to wor-
ry bit over the lack Of storage fa-
cilities in this section, and Kenne-
wick's only cold storage plant, that Of
the Church Mfg. Co., has felt the urge
sufficiently, so that it has more than
doubled its storage space this year to
care for the increased tonnage.
This concern, with its Kennewick
and Pasco houses, has storage room
for nearly 100000 boxes, or 180 car
loads of apples. OF this amount the
Kennewick plant has built space this
year to care for 10000 boxes, which
makes the total space available here
10000 boxes. The Pasco plant has
had additions made to handle $4,000
boxes, or total of over 100000 boxes.
The Church company now has fac
tory and storage facilities of which
any town might well be proud, and the
tonnage handled each year is surpris-
ing. All the grapes grown in the val
ley can be handled and steady mar
ket is provided for the entire local
output of Gull apples, for the manu-
featuring end of the concern.

GooD CROPS and GOOD PRICES THIS FALL

in this country, one of them is supplied
by this state, but it is a decidedly en-
couraging fact that eastern demand
will give our growers good price.
"There has been a light crop of
prunes but the fresh fruit has sold well
and for the dried fruit not yet up there
is decided upward tendency in the
market.
"We will introduce grading, better
methods of shipping and standardiz-
alton to improve the cranberry mar
ket this year.
"Prices already have much improved
for dair yproducts and they will go
higher. Western dairymen will also
benefit next winter from more favor
able feeding conditions.
"There is an increase OF more than
10000 900 bushels in this states wheat
crop for 1921 and at the prevailing
prices growers will make money. Oats
will show good crop.
"T believe feed conditions will result
in giving more attention to stock
raising. I'm glad of it for we are not
raising enough stock, particularly
horses. Tractors cannot entirely sup.

plant the horse and we can raise more
horses profitably."
Edward Clifford, Director of Labor
and Industries, says, "There is a very
noticeable and continuous improve
ment in industrial circles, with many
new plants opening up. Lumber con-
ditions are improving and reports
from our field agents indicate there
is every reason to anticipate further
betterment during the fall"
E. L. Farnsworth, whose Department
of Taxation and Examination includes
the division of banking, says there is
a feeling of confidence in business cir
cles that the fall is bringing prosper
ity and to his division of taxation,
Mr.. Farnsworth adds, reports con-
tinue to come in that there is gen.
eral movement among all taxing
boards of the state to cut their levies
to the lowest practical amount-an-
other factor that will improve con-
ditions. >.ea3

THROAT DISEASE is
INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Doctors Advise Parents Not to
Neglect Illnesses Of
" Children

Officials from the state board Of
health have decided that the new dis
ease showing up in the Yakima Valley
is infantile paralysis-bulbar type,
but local physicians are not so GER
tain. At any rate no new cases Of the
dread throat disease have appeared
in this end of the county since last
week, altho several cases Of infantile
paralysis have developed, with one
death at Richland.
However, warning is being sent
out to parents to be especially watch
full Of their children, and to notify a
physician Immediately, even in an ap-
parently trivial case Of sickness, that
precautions may be taken to prevent
an epidemic and thus delay the open
ing Of school. 5 - aE
That parents may know what to
look for we print the following symp-
tons: ..@ssa#
The child has a restless, feverish
night and within "a or 48 hours appar-
emily RECEIVERS. 1t may be days or
weeks before the lower limbs are found
to be affected. In moderate cases a
child shows the effects where he puts
one leg into his clothing more slowly
than he used to or one leg drags
little. 1t is usually the lower limbs
that are affected. The patient may
run fever of 102 to 105. There
comes headache and loss Of appetite,
loss of power and sometimes gastric
catarrh. In other cases there are
coma and convulsions, and symptoms
as in spinal meningitis.
The cause of the disease is un-
known. 1t is an epidemic, but not
always contagious, for one child in a
family may be affected and the others
escape. There. are. many theories.
1t is warm weather disease, we
know, and dust may have something
to do with it, perhaps, but when once
it occurs there is little to be done for
the patient. In one to three months
the muscles which fail lose contract
ibilty. Sometimes the nerves may be
grated and the muscles restored to
activity. The advice to parents is to
not overlook any minor illness in
their children during this time and
not get into needles panic.
j DR.. Simson, of the state board of
health, who has made two trips to
Kennewick recently, states that the
three local cases that are recovering,
are the only ones in the state where
the patient was affected by paralysis
Of the throat, that have not proved
: fatal.
] The state board as well as the local
doctors feel that they have the disease
in hand now that cooler weather has
arrived and that no epidemic will be
experienced here.

KID BANDITS ARE
PICKED UP HERE
Escape from Detention Home in
Yakima-Steal Cars, Guns
and Money

Three automobiles, several guns, a
watch and twenty dollars in money is
the meagre total stolen in week by
a couple of 15-year-old kids captured
this week by the local police. The
boys, George Nut and Leo Cox broke
out of the detention home in Yakima,
stole a couple of cars and ran them
until the gas gave out, when they
abandoned them. Then they got a
Ford with nearly a full tank, and
headed this way, picking up every
thing portable en- route. Twenty dol
lars in cash left Yakima with them
and at Sunnyside they gathered two
rifles and shot gun.
BY the time the two reached the
Wade Thomas ranch in the Mills near
Hover, the gas was beginning to get
low SO they broke into the shed to
get another car. They picked up two
more shot guns, two rifles and a
watch and succeeded in getting his
car out of the shed on the gas in the
carburetor. As the supply was cut
off they were unable to make it run
and while they were fooling around
the men in the field saw them and
started to investigate. The kids hop
ped into the Ford, but were overtak-
en-. The driver let loose and hopped
out, making for cover, when Bill Te-
walt took q shot at them, while the
car hit the fence.
The boys were taken by the Yaki-
ma police for hearing there, as the
stuff stolen locally was returned. The
Nut boy was the one who broke into
print couple of weeks ago for shoot.
ing pal who "squealed" on him.

MOULTONs RETURN

Mr.. and Mrs. M. M. Moulton and
children returned Wednesday from an
interesting motor trip of two weeks.
They went by the Columbia Highway
to Portland, then to Seaside and Bay
Ocean. On their return trip they
spent few days at Seattle and also
stopped at Olympia, crossing the fer
ry at Kalama and driving up the west
side of the Sound, thru Shelton ana
Bremerton. In all they covered about
thousand miles on the trip.
