Peter Olsen, staunch upholder of
the Law in Salem brought three men
into court this morning on charge
of violating the liquor laws. The

and asked for just little time to
get bondsmen to 60 their bail which
was fixed at $500 each BY Judge
TulIy.
Says 'Brewery's Fault"
Frederick Meyer pleaded not guilty
and stated that if he were violating
the law it was because the PrimaIt
Products Company Of 825 Blackbawk
street, Chicago had not played square
with him. He alleged that a repre-
sentative Of the company had assured
him that the beer which he was sell
ing came within the provision of the
law and that he could not be arrested
on a charge of having intoxicating
liquors for sale. He stated that he
would have q representative of the
company to appear for him at his
trial which was set for September
18th. Frank w. Biersdorf stated that
the whiskey that he had was some
that he had had for a long time and
that it was not for public consumD-
ton. Stanley Nieverwski stated that
he was not guilty and his case was

Rock and Dreidt. Over three hundred

time - ten months in fact and that
his actions were a result Of his non
employment His bond was also Set
at $500 and Travanty got busy with
the telephone trying to get bondsmeu.

MONEY SHOULD
MORE THAN REPAY DEBT

Farm credit is a good agency in the
hands of those farmers who know how
ia use it, but it is dangerous Nele-
ment of farm business if its nature
and purpose is not fully understood.
An unproductive enterprise is not a
safe basis on which to borrow money
under any conditions. 1t is more inn
portant that the enterprise shall be
productive than that the rate of inter-
est at which one can borrow money be
high or low. Farm-credit specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture lay down one essential
rule to follow by the farmer who pro-
poses to borrow money: Make sure
that the purpose for which the Dor
rowed money is to be used will produce
a return greater than is needed to pay
the debt.

GOOD SHOWS GO BEGGING

IRE the people of Kennewick ap-
preciative of the better class Of
amusements and entertainments In
other words is Kennewick good town
for really worthwhile shows?
One of the Courier Reporters read
ers has some misgivings on this ques-
ton. He laments the fact that some
Of the very ordinary movies are well
patronized while the better attractions
go begging.
In this he is unquestionably right
but is the public entirely at fault?
Isn't the public's indifference to good
attractions which come this way more
acquired than natural. If we mistake
not there has been many cries of
"wolf." Too often the people have
paid good money for poor shows. They
know reasonably well what to expect
of the movie but they have been fed
up on cheap vaudeville and ham-fat
road shows until they are skeptical
of any show that comes along with
real folks instead of pictures in it.
It is too bad that such condition ex-
lists but it does and before good shows
receive good patronage public conf
dence must be restored.
In writing to the Courier-Reporter
the reader referred to says: "One of
the penalties of living in small town
is the inability to see and hear, except
very rarely, the really good in music.
lectures and plays. Therefore when
anything of real merit in any of
these comes to Kennewick it is regret

TOO WARM FOR COMFORT

N commenting on the legislative
inquiry into the acts of the state
reclamation and land settlement
boards, the Spokesman-Review says:

True enough! The investigation was
too warm for comfort and the Spokes-
man-Review packed up its doll cloth

Napoleonic dignity of return from
Moscow. Since that time it has been
applying itself industriously to the
daily task of further befuddling the
public mind as to what the fuss is all
about. =
The plain facts are that the Spokes-
man-Review started something it can
not finish. It's method Of attack has
all the trimmings of the noisy and
boisterous charge of the short-vision-
ed rhinoceros which starts without
provocation, proceeds without direc-
ton and stops short when faced by
opposition. The Spokesman has evil

half-truths oft repeated become ac-
copied as truth, that trifles loudly ex-
plotted take on Importance, and that
insinuations widely spread constitute
proof of guilt.
When the legislative investigation
was begun the Spokesman-Review
went to Olympia ostensibly as a
"friend at court" but in reality to con-
troll, dominate, and direct the inquiry.
Each day the Spokesman-Review's
special correspondent wrote columns
concerning the doings of the Spokes-
man-Review's attorney which were
featured on the front page of the
Spokesman-Review. Then something

Spokesman-Review marched home,
dug itself in behind more big head

screen, and relegated the doings of the
committee from the
front page to the obscurity of an in |
side position.
Yes, indeed, the investigation was
too warm for comfort!

- HE Spokesman-Review has I'M
oearthed great scandal in the
operation of the state reclamation
board which is another way of saying
that the reclamation board has not
spent enough of its energies in boost
ing Spokane to suit the Spokesman.
Those who have followed the Spokane
obsession over the Columbia basin
dream will not be surprised at any
sensation that appears in the news
papers of that city. With the bunch
in control in Spokane it always has
been and probably always will be a
case of rule or ruin. Possibly, the
reason for Spokane's loss in population
may be found in that situation.-Top-

There is only one excuse--a poor
one for all condemnation trapping
too early. The excuse is, of course,
that some other trapper may get
ahead of you.
But where the trapper hasn't any
competition-on his own farm, for
instance-or where an agreement
can be reached to wait, the taking
of furs at the right time will bring
far larger returns.
In a great many cases 1nexper-
Fenced trappers get out too early
because they are not quite sure when
the various fUrs are prime. Hence
the following may enable no incon-
siderable number of trappers to
make more money out of their work
this year.
Skunk is prime oa in the mott no3th
toward the end of November. They
depreciate about the middle of
Mink is best during November to
the end of January in the north,
and in December and January, IN
ing February.
trapping is, of course, easiest But
the prime fur is taken in the period
from mid-winter to March, A good
condition may be expected IN the
north up to about the first OF May
while the similar date in the south
is about the first of April.
O'bossum in the north becomes
prime toward the first of November
and remains good until March. In
the south the prime fur comes
about the middle of November, 1t
depreciates somewhat earlier than
in the north.
If you are after raccoon in north
ern territory, you will find the fur
prime about November first. The
time is a little la+er for the south,
