ONLY HONEST INVENTORIES OF
BENEFIT TO FARMERS

Good judgment, coupled with exper-
fence, should enable farmer to come
fairly close to the right figure in MAX
ing a farm appraisal, say farm man.
agement specialists of the United
States, Department of Agriculture. A
middle course is the safest, since the
results of an appraisal either too high
or too low will be of little or no
value. False appraisal, to make the
figures show up well, is labor thrown
away, since the one who INDUCES in
this pastime is only fooling himself.
Stick to the facts. Use market val
ues, adding expense of getting to the
farm all those things the farmer buys,
and subtracting the probable expense
of marketing from the market value
of all those things he has to sell.

~HE new city administration is
ito be congratulated upon the
manner in which it is improving the
city streets. With very little labor
and expense the unpaved streets have
been materially improved both as to
sightliness and travelibility. The
work is all right as far as it goes. 1t
is, however, only of temporary ma
ture and unless some "stay put" treat
ments are employed the streets
crowns will again be reposing in the
gutter. The Courier-Reporter is OF
the opinion that a substantial paving
program should be undertaken this
year. Third street and the cross
streets between Second and Third
from the canal to Washington street
is good place to begin.

NEW GAME CODE

~HE new. state game code viii
IL undoubtedly meet the approva
of Benton county sportsmen. The
outstanding feature of the new code
is that it clothes with more authority
the equity game commission, giving
it discretionary powers in the matter
of game preservation within the coun.
ty.
This is as it should be. The old idea
of leaving local game regulations to
the state game commissioner or to
the uncertainties of legislative action
was wrong in principle. The conser-
walton of game depends largely upon
local sentiment which often times re
volts at general restrictions which are
manifestly untitled to local conditions.
If there is any one class in whom con-
fidence can safely be reposed it is the
sportsmen themselves.
No one will protect game of any
county quite so jealousy as will the
sportsmen of that county. Under the
new code the county game commission
will have the cooperation of local
sportsmen to a far greater degree than
the state commission ever had it.
The county commission now has
practically entire jurisdiction over the
fishing streams of the county and have
power to open and close seasons on pp-
land birds within reasonable restric-
lions. The result should be, and un-
doubtedly will be, that the seasons will
fit local conditions. For instance, the
Yakima and Columbia rivers will be
opened for bass fishing at time when
it is possible to fish and not during
the high water season only. There
will probably be short open season
on quail and the pheasant shooting
will not come at the height of the ap-
pie harvest when the huntsman is eff
fectually barred from the orchards.

The addition of $4,000 acres to the

an enterprise about which no resident
of the county can afford to be small
and selfish.

LITTLE THINGS THAT HELP.
BEAUTY HINTS.

Washing the Halr-Too much wash
ing is not good for the hair as the
oil thrown out by the sebaceous glands
to soften the hair is removed. leaving
the hair dry and fluffy: and by re-
peating at short intervals the hair
loses pliancy and softeness and breaks
with the least effort at combing. Men
often make the mistake of too much
washing, or wetting the hair too Of
ten, which is one of the commonest
causes of badness. Washing the hair
every three weeks is sufficient, eX-
cept where there is an oversecretion
of oily matter, or where the hair is
particularly coarse or exposed to dust.
If the hair has tendency to fan
out. good egg shampoo is recon-
mended. This is made up of IN en-
tire egg or two well beaten, with one
or two ounces Of water added. Mas
sage into the scalp thoroughly; rinse
off carefully being careful not to tam
gle the hair.
A dry shampoo is made up of or
ris root or cornmeal busted into the
hair and brushed out at once
There are also oil shampoos. crude
oil. olive oil, etc, which are very BEN
eficial. Each should be followed by
massage or rubbing. If further ad-
vice is desired address all queries to
