PLEDGE SUPPORT
TO ORGANIZE SHOW
Commercial Club to Help FL
nance Benton Co. Exhibit
at National Convention

When the thousands of farmers
from all parts of the United States
gather in Portland next month to at
tend the annual meeting of the Nat
ional Grange they will see a notable
display of farm products grown on
lands which a comparatively few
years ago was barren sagebrush des-
ert.
Local grangers are working to the
end that Benton county may send to
Portland as fine DISPLAY of fruits
and vegetables as was exhibited at
the State Fair. Most of the fruits
have already been collected and placed
in cold storage.
The expense of making the display
is to be borne by the Benton County
Pomona Grange, the Farm Bureau, the
Prosser Community club and the Ken
newick Commercial club. The local
clubs financial support was pledged
yesterday at the solicitation of Carl
C. Williams, representing the grange
and J. w. Vickers representing the
farm bureau.
These men pointed out that the
grange convention offered rare OPP
portunity for revealing the irrigated
West to thousands of men from the
Middle West, East and South, who
know and can readily appreciate quail
ity products.
"The results of our exhibit at the
national grange meeting may be
much more far-reaching than many of
us think" said Mr.. Vickers. "This
organization is now bending every ef-
fort to secure federal aid to build the
Kennewick unit of the Yakima project.
The big task is to convince eastern
congressmen that it is good business
for Uncle Sam to advance money to
reclaim the arid lands of the West. We
have long known that the way to a
mans heart is through his stomach.
We have got to learn that the way to
a congressman's heart is through his
constituents. In Portland we are go
ing to convince lot Of farmers from
the other side of the Mississippi that
it pays to water the sagebrush of east
ern Washington. After these hard
handed, level-headed grangers have
gone back home and spread around
the news of what irrigation has done
for the farming industry in the West,
congressman from their districts may
cease to look upon reclamation appro-
priations as donations and come to re-
gard them as the safest and best in
vestments Uncle Sam can make"

DEATH WAS NATURAL
Medical Examiner Can Find No Eyid- ence of Poison or Ground Glass in Lewis Case.
Medical EXar

Dr. Waterman F. Lyon, medical ex-, aminer in his investigations into the death of George Lewis aged 21, col ored of Lilac street, which occur red at the New Britain General hos pital yesterday afternoon, finds that as far as he can see, the man died from natural causes. He learned that Lewis had been sick week with an aseptic sore throat before he entered the hospital for treatment and this would give the poison in the throat plenty of time to enter into his sys- tenn and be the cause of his death.
 Mrs. Lewis, wife of the dead man, asked the local police to investigate his death, because she believed that he had taken his own life by means of poison or ground glass. Officer William McCue, who was detailed on the case, got in touch with Medical Examiner Lyon and acquainted him with the suspicious of the woman. Dr. Lyon immediately began his investi-
