"MOTHER" is
TURNED DOWN
Commercial Club Protects
Merchants From Fake
Aims Gatherer

The Commercial club doesn't al
ways function as it should but it die
the people of Kennewick good turn
Monday of last week when Secretary
Whitehorn refused to put his o. X
on the soliciting of aims by strange
woman who hobbled on crutch.
The following item appeared in
Mondays Spokesman-Review:
Suspicious of the actions of a
woman who said she was Mrs. Mary
Dryer, age AZ, while she was selling
packages of sachet powder in the
Pastime pool hall Saturday night, De-
tective Chester Edwards arrested the
woman, and when she was searched
at the police station found she had

cealed in several parts of her cloth

agree with this general principle !?
And doesn't it apply also in the buy
ing of merchandise
The progressive merchant in your
own trading center gives service
along with the goods. He has Sc
lection of merchandise continually in
stock. You don't have to wait. When
you enter the store you are able to see
the article itself in which you are in
terested. You see it with your eyes,
feel it with your fingers; note its ac-
tual size, shape and color; compare
it with other goods at different prices
and, if it is what you want, take it
away with you.
If you have questions to ask, you
are given an explanation on the spot.
The answer given your first question
may suggest another query. 1t is
answered within half a minute of the
first interrogation. No time is lost.
You benefit from the dealers prac-
teal knowledge, from the fact that he
is on the ground and ready at all
times to see to it personally that the
article he has sold you gives salts
faction.
The wise buyer will not forget that
such matters have a dollars and cents
value and should enter into the reck-
oning whenever price comparison is
being made.-Washington Farmer.

~The woman was walking with a
crutch and claimed to be the mother
of several children, although later she
denied the latter claim when question
ed, police say. Postal money order
REGENTS were found on her person
showing that she had sent Ss5 in
amounts of $40 to $40 to persons in
Kellogg and Wallace, Idaho, and
Prosser and Walla Walla, Wash, and

ability. She was placed in jail on
a charge of vagrancy."
No Money Here
Mrs. Mary Dwyer, the lady in ques.
ton, stopped off in Kennewick Oh
Monday, April 10th, and in the course
of her solicitation Of the merchants
ran up against the proposition of get
ting an endorsement of the Com
mercial club. After going through
the regular method of examining Gre
dentials, and listening to hard luck
story, the case was decided as un-
worthy of support, and Mrs. Dwyer
was notified that no endorsement
would be Forthcoming.

from the Three Rivers association.
The result was that the price in Spo-
kane was forced down regardless OF
the fact that the market was not
oversupplied, and not only the grower
who consigned but every other grow
er in the valley was forced to take
for his grass that day price less
than what he might have had sold for
had price control been maintained
True enough the association has ap-
proximately 85 per cent of the as
paragus under its control. But it
doesn't take large independent ship
ment to break the market. At the
beginning of the shipping season one
dealer hammered the Spokane price
down 25 cents box and he had only
three boxes to sell. With those three
boxes on hand he quoted every dealer
in the city lower price than that set
by the local association and quite
naturally the market follows the low
est quotation made.
There is only one place where a
remedy can be applied and that place
is at the growing end. Just as long
as growers turn their products over
to the other fellow on consignment,
just so long will the other fellow traf-
fic at the growers expense.
The handful of growers who have
not yet joined the local association
may have reasons which to them seem
sufficient to justify their action. But
there can be no legitimate justifica-
ton for consigning especially this
early in the season. Markets are not
oversupplied. There is a demand for
every pound of asparagus that is be-
ing cut and the demand is backed by
good prices. The local association re-
ports that local cash buyers are CO.
operating in maintaining the price
and those who have been shipping to
Spokane the last few days have been
pocketing loss because of the con-
signments received there.
To the grower who, because of per-
sonal prejudices, past experiences, or
wat not, has not Joined the associa-
ton, the Courier-Reporter has but
this to say, in the name Of heavens,
don't consign your stuff. If you will
not cooperate with your neighbors as
member Of their organization, sell
to buyer who is cooperating. If
you refuse to permit the association
to exercise any control over the sell
ing price of your product exercise
some control yourself. II you can't
be neighborly at least be fair.

COLUMBIA BASIN

1T is gratifying to know that at last
! program of procedure for promot-
ing the Columbia Basin Irrigation
project has been worked out upon
which the state as whole can unite.
From it's inception the campaign
has been regarded with mistrust by
those who have been interested in les
ser irrigation projects which can be
completed before work can be started
on the larger project. This mistrust
has been justified by the activities OF
the leaders of the campaign who at
times have shown lack of good faith
in their professions or friendliness TO
the smalled projects. Be that as 1T
may, the present program If adhered
to. is one that can be supported by all
who are interested in the speediest
possible development of the agricul-
tural resources Of the state.
In brief that program places the
Columbia Basin where it belongs and
eliminates it, for the present at
least, as a contender for government
funds to be made available by the
McNary bill. The first step in the
program is to secure the speedy en-
actment of the McNary bill and to
use it's funds for the construction OF
the smaller projects. AS matter OF
fact this procedure is in keeping with
the recommendations of Gen. Goe-
thals. In his report he says that the
McNary funds should not be used for
the Columbia Basin but for some rea-
son the Columbia Basin press agent
failed to give publicity to that part
of the report.
AS long as the Pasco program is
adhered to the Courier-Reporter will
forget it's quarrel with the basin
boosters Of Spokane and in burying
the Ratchet it wishes to express its
thanks to the. Seattle Chamber OF
Commerce. To the resoluteness OF a
few men Of that chamber is due the
present Columbia Basin. program,
and this programs, in its salient fea-
lures is identical to the reclamation
platform laid down by the Seattle
chamber at the outset Of the Column
bia Basin controversy.
Much was said at the Pasco meet
ing about "Seattle's seeing the light"
and getting back Of. the Columbia
Basin project. The fact is, it was
Spokane, not Seattle who saw the
light and finally agreed to get back
II the only program by which the
great project can be put over.
Throughout the campaign Seattle has
proved herself sincere friend to the
smaller projects and the people of
this community and of the other irri-
gated districts of the state owe a debt
of gratitude to Tom Hill, Howard
Hanson, Ashael Curtis, Joseph Jacobs
and others who carried on the fight
and won it even In the face of repeat
ed attempts to "bore from within" in
their own organization.
