torial follows:
Before a community starts
to worry for fear the publisher
of the local paper is making too
much money;rit is well to know
the facts. Few lines Of endeav-
or have been so, severely hit by
changing industrial conditions
as have the small newspapers. It
is abundant testimony that there
were 1913 fewer weekly publica-
tons in this state in 1919 than
in 1915.
'sOnly recently has definite ef-
fort been made to study costSon
country newspapers; this study
shows that few publishers have
been getting even cost for the
advertising space and printed
matter they have sold. Like
the farmer, they have been pro-
ducing their commodities large
ly with the unpaid labor of
themselves and the members of
their families, and without TAX
ing into consideration such
items of expense as depreciation,
interest on money invested and
the like.

WELCOME CHANGERS

SATURbAY next there will
~ congregate in this city the
people upon whom the future of
Benton county depends. They
are the men and women who till
the soil. They are coming to at
tend the annual Pomona Grange
rally.
The progress which this coun-
ty has made from the barren
sage brush has been due to the
efforts of these men and women
and other men and women like
them who have had the hardi-
hood to carve for themselves
homes in the desert. 1t is their
toll and their thrift that has
made possible the building of
this and other towns of the coun-
ty. Theirs has not always been
the rosy path and they are as
sembling at a time when things
on the farm are far from riding
on the high tide of prosperity.
Yet in spite of the present
critical conditions, with hardly
an exception these people will be
found facing the future with
confidence. With crops unsold,
and with the price outlook offer
ing them little if anything in ex-
cess of the cost of growing, har-
vesting and marketing, they are
already putting their places in
order for another crop year.
They are not the kind of folk to
show the cutters badge in the
face of temporary reverses.
Benton county has reason to
be proud of it's farmers. Its ag-
ricultural advancement has been
noteworthy.
The people of Kennewick
should be glad Of an opportun-
| ity to welcome the farmers to
their town. The welcome should
be more than perfunctory. It
should be sincere and from the
heart. Nor should the visiting
Changers be welcomed just be-
cause they are farmers but be-
cause they are folk who are
worth knowing. They are men
and women whose acquaintance
should be valued from The social
rather than from the business
viewpoint. They should be well
coined as friends not as custom
ers.

Prolific Family.

After the 1914 drought rabbits In the
northern areas of South Australia
were practically exterminated, but In
a few years they have increased SO
alarmingly that the pastoralists are
anxious to see another drought. They
reckon they can keep their livestock
going, and it will enable them to get
rid of the pest which is eating the
country bare. In the early part Of
August a pair Of rabbits reopened a
burrow which had been filed for some
years. Tracks Indicated there were
only two using these quarters. The
second week in October the burrow
was dug out, the old pair and three
filters of young, "a In all, were Sc

ROTAR|ANS AND WIVES

Last evening at the Country Club, the
Rotarians and their wives enjoyed a
social evening.
Following the dinner. unique en-
tertainment consisting of mock trial
Of the officers. directors. and commit
tees was staged. The officials were

The trial was conducted by an august
and irresponsible Judge, well support
ed by numerous bailiffs and before a
jury OF twelve fair women
In defending themselves the defend
ants were compelled to disclose all OF
the objects for which they were work
ing.
Some of these principles were as fol-
lows:
Recognising the commercial basis of
modern life as a. necessity incident in
human evolution. the Rotary Club is
organized TO express the proper rela-
ton between the private interests which
constitutes society.
To accomplish this purpose more ef-
fectively the principle of limited mem
bership has been adopted. the Rotary
Cub consisting OF one feprescI tive
from each distinct line, of business or
profession. Each member is benefited
by contact with representative men en-
gagged in different occupations. and is
enabled thereby to meet more intelH-
gently the responsibilities of civic and
business life.
The basis of club membership in
sures the representation of all interests
and the domination of none in the con-
sideration of public questions relating
TO business.
The Rotary Club demands fair deal
fngs, honest methods and high stand
ards in business.
Membership in the Rotary Club is
privilege and an opportunity ana its
responsibility demands honest and ef-
fcient service and thoughtfulness for
ones fellows.
After hearing all the evidence the
modern jury, much to the chagrin of
the prosecuting attorneys, brought in
verdict of mot Guilty" and recon-
rnended to the judge that one of the

SELL TRACT
FUR NEW
GOLF COURSE

Gostlin. Meyn g. Hastings today re-
ported the sale of 126 acres of land
located in Homewood. Ill, to the DIX
moor Golf Club.
The sellers were Fred Ifowe. of
and Mary Howe. OF San Diego, Cal.
The consideration was $7s.750, and
was computed on the basis of s625 per
acre. This price sets a new record for
real estate used for golf purposes in
the Chicago district. The tract is par
ticularly well suited for a golf course
for more than ten years ago, Tom Ben
delow. the famous golf architect, der
signed tentative course for the Howes.
1t is located on the Dixie Highway
at the intersection of 1T5th st. and is
directly opposite the grounds of the
Calumet Country Club.
This new course will be located In
the very center of Chicago's south side
golf district. for north of 1t is located
Beverly. Midlothian and Calumet. South
of it is Idlewild, Ravis1oe, Flossmoor
and Olympia fields. The Illinois Cen
trail station shop is directly opposite
this tract and this feature was one
of the deciding factors in selecting this
site.
A novel feature about this club Is
that they will cater to the man who
wants to play golf. and golf alone, for
no social features will be attempted.
Money that otherwise would be spent
on club house with its expensive up
keep, will be used IN developing the
course Another thing Is. that the
course will be open to the public.
Shares of stock will be sold to the
members, which will give them an in
terest in the real estate. wnen the
membership has been taken care of. the
course can be used by any ono for
small daily fee. This feature has been
tried out on many courses in the vicin-
ity Of Long Island, and also in Scot
land and In France, and found sue
cessfu1.
The title was taken by Clarence c.
Upham, OF Chicago. Among the incor-
porators of the club. IS no less a cele-
brity than Chick Evans. who Is nat
ional amateur champion.

the sale by William J. Hastings, or

were handled by Otto Reich, and NJ.
