FARMERS FIX
WAGE SCALE
FOR THIS YEAR
coecial Committee Says 30 Cents
Per Hour and $40 Month is
Fair Wage
rANY FARMERS AT MEETING
=, Tillers From all Parts of Coun-
~ are Enthusiastic For the
Farm Bureau

snecial committee of the Benton
kcountv Farm Bureau met yesterday
: BENTON City and adopted the fol-
nw;no wage scale for farm labor for
the 1921 season: 80 cents per hour
tor . man and 20 cents per hour for
team. The monthly wage was fixed
at $40 per month and board; farm
cook, $50 per month.
The committee does not undertake
n hand down this scale as an iron-clad
nroposition but rather recommends it
a. a fair average wage from which
reasonable deviations may be made.
Il believes that in cases where labor
il inexperienced and inefficient the
nav should be less while the man who
has been long on the same job and is
thoroughly familiar with the farm and
his duties is entitled to wages some
what is excess of the average scale.
* Fixing Of the county wage scale
was one of the results of mass meet
ing held in this city Monday, when
more than 100 farmers from all parts
of the county assembled to consider
the question of extending the Farm
Bureau organization. The wage scale
was discussed at length and was dis
posed of by being placed in the hands
of this special committee composed of
H. C. Benson, Prosser; w. A. Kelso,
Kona; H. E. Robinson, White Bluffs; ;
T. j. Chalcraft, Richland, and ]. w.
Vickers, Kennewick. At the request
Of the committee County Commission
er R. E. Pratt, County Agent v.
Georgeson, and Horticultural Inspec-
tor F. E. Bailey attended Wednes-
days meeting.
At Mondays meeting the aims and
purposes of the Farm Bureau were
presented by State Organizer Geo. j.
Cannon, of Buckeye, and A. w. Swig-
ert, president of the Yakima County
Farm Bureau. Mr.. Cannon empha-
sized the need of organization among
the farmers and pointed to the rapid
growth of the Farm Bureau through
out the agricultural states of the un-
Ion. He explained that the organiza-
aon is absolutely non-political and
stood for broad constructive program
and is In no sense either a reactionary
OF radical organization. 1t works
nclose relation with the u. S. depart
nent of agriculture and in each coun-
Wits activities are affiliated with
mat OF the extension workers of the
department.
Mr.. Swigert told of the rapid rise
snd progress of the bureau in Yak
una county where HOO members have
been pledged.
At the close of these talks the meet
mg voted unanimously to get back OF
ne organization in this county and

consideration plans for putting on an
intensive membership campaign. The
annual membership fee is $40, OF

POLICE WARN BOARDING
HOUSE KEEPERS OF THIEVES

People renting furnished rooms in
this city are warned by the police
10 keep a watch for men who are re-
ported to be working this city. and
succeed in making small hauls. Ac-
cording to the police. there have
been reports of a mar going to a
house where a furnished room is adj
vertised for rent. The man makes
application for the room saying that
he expects his trunk to arrive shortly
and is allowed to go to his room.
While the unsuspicious owner is in
one Fart of the house the culprit
ransacks the remainder of the rooms
and leaves the house stating hat he
is going out to see what is keeping
his trunk.
There is another scheme worked
by these men, the reports state. After
obtaining a room. the boarder brings
out a big bill to be changed. and
when the mistress is unable to
change it the boarder asks for the
loan of a few dollars, promising to
return same when he changes the
bill. The return is never made, how
ever. for the mar leaves Immediately
after making the touch.

Tex Richard. promoter of the
Dempsey-Carpentier title match, at
Jersey City, July 2. plans to name
a winner. in the battle, in spite of
the fact that the New Jersey law
prohibits a referees decision.
His plan is simple! He will pick
three judges who, in case both bat
tiers are on their feet at the end of
the L. rounds, will decide who had
the best of the argument. Richard
expects Dempsey and Carpenter to
agree 20 this idea and says wagers
on the fight can be paid according
to the decision handed down.
The Big Three
He has already practically decided
on his three judges:
Jim Corbett, former heavyweight
champion of the world.
Jim Jeffries, also a former heavy
weight champ.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-05-21

Lord Lonsdale, foremost follower
of boxing in England.
Richard feels that Jersey officials
cannot object to this plan. He feels
certain that some decision will be
necessary in order to settle wagers.
The contest is. first of all. a sport
ing proposition and as such is likely
to be the biggest betting occasion in
the history of the roped arena.
Interesting Sidelight
Lord Lonsdale has been invited
to come from England to the bout
as Richards guest. and so has JEFF
fries. Corbett, who is in America,
has accepted a similar invitation.
An interesting sidelight to this
plan is the fact that two of the
judges who may sit outside the ring.
have met on Two occasions on the
inside of the ropes.

MEMPHIS, Jan. 2c,--Within view by
torchlght OF tho home Of o. I. Craig
and his daughte-. Mrs g. O. William
son. both Of whom be murdered Christ
mas Day. Henry Lowery negro was
tied to a stake on the crown Oh leVee
tonight and burned to death.
The negro confessed tho crime. but
reiterated 10 the last that the shooting
was done in self-defence.
The mob. which early "Wednesday
seized the negro from deputies. went
about their work methodically. Their
work accomplished and the negro's body
reduced to heap of ashes. the men
dispersed and late last night no further
disorder had been reported.
Five alleged accomplices, who are ac-
cused of aiding Lowrey TO escape. are
being held in the Marion tArk.) jail on
a charge OF aiding fugitive from JUS
tice TO escape. Two other negroes. ac-
cused OF giving aid TO the black. are In
tho Mississippi county jail at Blytheville.
Reports of citizens turning their wrath
toward the lives OF the other negroes
proved groundless.
