WASHINGTON SAYS
A DISARMAMENT
CONFERENCE SURE
Official Invitations Alread,
Being Prepared by the
State Department.
WASHINGTON. July ll.-A dis

WASHINGTON. July Il--A dis
conference in Washington
was regarded as certain to-day.
Following the informal query to
tho great powers. asking whether
they would be willing to enter INTO
such conference. Secretary Hughes
was preparing the official invitations
in order to be ready to despatch
them upon receipt OF word that they
were acceptable
Great Britain and Japan, through
public statements OF their Govern
ment leaders, have already bound
themselves to join in n disarmament
Of the United States should
call it.
Public opinion in France and Italy
Will not allow leaders OF those ma
tons to refuse the invitation even
ii they should regard it unfavorably,
il is believed here China. whose
friendiness to this country has been
many times emphasized, will certainly
accept, it is thought. China will par
ticipate in Far Eastern discussions.
One of the fundamental factors
back OF the decision to call tho con
ference is that by this step the Ad-
ministration has virtually begun the
framework OF it's promised associa-
tion of nations to prevent war. The
successful working out of an agree
ment among the powers Tor limitation
and eventual reduction of armamcnts
will be the most effcctual kind OF
"a ssociation of nations" Adminlstra-
ton officials feel.
The decision for the conference was
reached by President Harding and
Secretary Hughes in two conferences
Saturday at the White House just be
fore the President left on a week end
cruise on the MayflOwcr.
The notice OF the invitation which
was given out last night by the State
Department, reads:
"The President, in view Of the
far reaching importance OF the
question of limitation Of arma-
r,ents, has approached with in
formal but definite inquiry tho
group OF powers heretofore
known as the principal Allied and
Associated Powers-that is, Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan
to ascertain whether it would
be agreeable to them to take part
in conference on this subject TO
be held in Washington at a time
to be mutually agreed upon. II
the proposal is found to be sc-
ceptable, formal invitations for
such conference will be issued.
"lt is manifest that the ques-
ton Of limitation of armaments
has a close relation to Pacific and
Far Eastern problems. and the
President has suggested that the
powers especially interested in
these problems should undertake
in connection with this conference
the consideration of all matters
bearing upon their solution, with
a view to reaching a common un.
derstandine with respect to prin-
ciples and policy in the Far East.
This has been communicated
to the powers concerned, and
China has also been invited to
take part IN the discussion reIat-
ing to the Far Eastern problems"

farm bureau has set out. If it is to
succeed, it must plan carefully, build
securely and proceed slowly. Results
such as the farm bureau hopes to Sc
cure will not come in month, nor a
season. They will come only after
years of united effort. Progress at
first must be comparatively slow and
success will depend very largely up
on the loyalty of the membership to
the organization, and the confidence
they repose in their leaders.
AS we understand it the farm bu-
reau does not propose to overturn
established institutions of business and
trade and hoist the farming industry
to the pinnacle of success at one pull
of the tackle nor to legislate the
farmer post haste into Utopia. 1t
represents sincere effort on the part
of the real farmers to better their
conditions and as such it merits the
support not only of the farmers but
of the business interests.

THE FARM BUREAU

40 organization ever started life
IL in this county with as bright
prospects as the Benton County Farm
Bureau. 1t begins it's activities backed
by the membership and enthusiasm of
600 farm homes. 1t is a unit of an or
ganization which has the sanction and
cooperation of the state and national
governments and is rapidly gaining
in strength and numbers throughout
the nation.
But with all its promise the farm
bureau will not go sailing into the
harbor of it's ultimate desires without
a fight and in some instances the
fight may be long and bitter. Soon
err or later the new organization is
certain to be ass allied by friction from
within and opposition from without.
It's measure of success will be guaged
largely by the ability, the foresight,
and the integrity, of its leadership
and the loyalty and common sense of
its membership. ..-
. In some localities the bureaus most
stubborn opposition will come from
other farm organizations whose pro-
fessional leaders will fight any move
ment which tends to lessen their in
fluence or take away their jobs. In
Benton county, however, the bureaus
greatest danger is from within. 1t
starts life with the good will of the
business interests and there is no reas-
on why this good will cannot be con-
verified into valuable cooperation and
support. As yet the bureau has en-
countered no open opposition from the
grange and if properly managed these
two organizations can continue to
function each within it's sphere with
out a clash. /
IF we are not mistaken the pitfall
which the Benton County Farm Blu
reau must avaid is that element in its
membership which will clanIor for
speed. For there is an element in this,
as in all organizations, that demand
immediate results and favor riding
rough-shod over everything within
their path regardless Of consequences.
1t is no short road upon which the

A WORK WELL DONE

TENNEWICK has it's full quota
of public and semi-public orga-
nizations each with a record in which
its membership can find ample reason
for pride. But the Kennewick Gene
terry association beats them all. ii
Year after year this organization
has gone about its business so quietly
that the community as whole has
scarcely known that it existed. It's
membership has been held together
and kept diligent by the tender and
lasting memories of departed loved
ones and River View Heights ceme-
terry as it exists today is testimonial
to a service unsullied by selfishness.
The association has been differed
and managed almost exclusively by
women-women whose careful plan
ming and tireless efforts have trans
formed a barren and sunbaked hill
side into a beauty spot. These women
have never called upon the public for
funds and seldom or ever have they
called upon the public for any as
sistance. The results they have OBJ
tanned have not always come easily.
Almost at the very beginning the as
ISOLATION had to defend its "city of
the dead" against an organized effort
to move it to new location in the
valley and for years association work
ers We're handicapped by lack of wat
er for irrigation purposes.
Plans for continued Identification
of the cemetery and that these plans
might not be interrupted and that the
improvement may be carried out SYM
metrically and Systematically in the
future all deeds bind the lot owners
not to interfere with the general plan
of Identification.
All in all the association has earned
the community's gratitude for its past
efforts and its future work is de-
serving of the community's fullest CO.
operation.

VI iegltmate campaign to strengthen
ltsef with the people and get them to
see its side of the many disputes and
Misunderstanding which mark the
course of the relations of anv nnhl;c
oliity with governmental and other
paehc agancies, That is not strictly
an investment matter and we are not
gong TO pass on its merits except to
say tnat 1t undoubtedly would be a
good thing for Public Service and its
securities If its stock were widely held.
On the ether hand, the interests Of all
the people living in the territory of
thls corporation are to a real extent
round up with those of the corpora
slon, and 1T may be wise and desirable
Tor those people to have a share in
the ownership of it, with its attendant
voting power, profit sharing and re-
sponsIolilty. Fer instance, if you
owned a suburban house served bv n
Public Service railway line, part of
the value of the house would lie in
the fact that it was served with cleo
tric light, gas and transportation by
the Public Service. If, not being a
shareholder, you stood idly by while
gltney competition, adverse electric
hight and gas rate legislation and gem
eral corporation batting made the
situation so bad for the corporation
that It had to withdraw or curtail all
three or any one of the services, you
would we'll deserve to suffer the loss
In valuation on your property which
would result. This Is an extreme ex-
ample, but it is drawn to show what
the favorable results OF consumer
ownership for public utility securities
can be. The Public Service Corpora
tion's gas and electric light and POWER
companies are in good shape and ap-
pear to have turned the corner. The
company is fighting for a 10-cent fare
on its street railways and the railway
company has serious problems to solve
Combined earnings, however, are
ample to pay the preferred dividends
of this issue. The common stock has
paid dividends for years. We are in
formed by the company that 1t would
not undertake stock-selling appeal to
the public on an investment basis un-
less it were certain in its own mind
about maintaining the dividends and
that is undoubtedly true. From an
investment standpoint it should not
be overlooked that the corporations
three-year secured convertible z per
cent notes, due March 1, 1922, are con-
vertible into the preferred stock at

next. The note, of course, is safer
than the preferred stock because it
comes ahead Of it, and it recently was
quoted 81 bid, 80 asked. They are not
actively traded in. If you could get them
around those prices they could be con-
verted into the preferred stock at con-
siderably less than 500 a share.

a comprehensive plan for taking care
of the $21,000,000 Of overdue bank

ter in hand. it was learned yesterday.
The plan was submitted at a meeting
of the banking creditors on Monday,
but some objection developed among
minority interests, which for the time
being has held up the negotiations.
It is understood that the plan under
consideration involves the unwerwrit-
ing by a strong banking group of ap-
proximately $20,000,000 OF first mort
gage per cent bonds. The sale of
this new issue of securities would pro-
vide funds for meeting the bank in

$8,000,000 it's financial affairs would be
put in strong position, it was as

adjustment of the WHY'S Overland

only a matter of short time before

would also be taken care of. Upward
