SCHOOL HOUSE
Finley Directors Plan to
Get School Started
Soon

No time is to be lost in hous-
ing the Finley grade and high
schools which were left homeless
by fire which totally destroyed the
building last week.
Sentiment of school patrons as
expressed at q mass meeting was
practically unanimous in favor of
keeping the pupils at home rath-
er than farming them out. Sever
al private buildings were offered
and the directors Of Hover offer
ed their old school building Of four
rooms in their new building.
After consulting with County
Superintendent Gilkey and County
Attorney Hamilton, the Finley
school board decided to erect a
temporary building Of four rooms
to be used by the grades while the
church will be fitted up for high
school purposes.
Work on the new building has
already started under the direction
of A. v. McReynolds and it is ex-
pected it will be ready for use
soon after January 1. The cost
Of the building to the district will
be small as much Of the labor will
be donated.

COOPERATION
is SOLUTION
President Harding and
Secretary Wallace In
dorse Organization

A national convention of farm
ers' cooperative marketing Asso-
Citations was held in Washington,
d. c. Dec. IA. It was attended
by several hundred delegates rep
resentlng thirty-five states. It
was the greatest gathering Of it's
kind ever held.
In message of greeting, read
by Senator Ernest of Kentucky.
the president declared he knew Of
mo single movement that promises
more help toward the present re-
lief and the permanent betterment
OF agricultural conditions than the
cooperative organization of farm
ers to market their products" De-
claring he wanted the government
to do everything with reason and
sound procedure" for the aid of
the farmers. President Harding
said he was "still more eager that
the farmers shall themselves CO.
operate TO make the governments
efforts doubly efficacious.
Secretary Wallace in an address
said, "the system should act to
avoid glutting markets with farm
products and at the same time to
obviate periods Of scarcity, BY
proper storage, thus preventing
both ruinous low prices to produc-
ers and high cost to consumers.
Hence, as I see it, the oreaniza-
tion and successful conduct Of the
farmers cooperative associations
results in q benefit both to the
farmers and the people who con-
sumo the products"
In the last analysis, the solution
TO the farmers problems rest with
the farmers themselves, 70 be
worked out through cooperation
aided to friendly legislation. Petty
prejudices must be laid aside and
sound business judgment must pre-
vail before the full benefits Of CO.
operation can be realized.

CHRISTMAS
Ia YEARS AGO
Old Timer Recalls Trip to
Hover to Meet First
Boat up River

The balmy air, the sunshine and
the green lawns which dipersed a
winter landscape almost overnight
and greeted the people Of this VAL
ley on Christmas day has prompt
ed pioneer resident to write the
Courier-Reporter the following.
Was yesterday q typical Christ
mas day so far as the weather was
concerned? Well, I would hardly
say that, but in the last fifteen
or twenty years quite a number
of Christmas days have been about
the same as this one. The mem.
ory Of Christmas day fourteen
years ago comes up before me
quite distinctly at this time.
Kennewick was only village
but boasted q small but valiant
band Of boosters known then as .
Commercial club. Word had been
received that the first steamboat
had passed Cello Falls and would
arrive here Christmas day and
great preparations had been made
to give it royal welcome. How
ever the best laid plans of mice
and men agang oft aglae" and
about noon we got word that IL
would be late in the evening be-
fore we could expect the arrival
of the boat. :.
just to show them we were on
the job, all the available horses
in town were Communicated for
the trip and all hands left for
Hover to meet the boat when IL
got there. 1t was quite late in the
evening before the boat showed up
at that point and did not arrive
at Kennewick until the next day.
The roads were none too good in
those days and il was some trip
there and back and it seemed 10
me we faced real Chinook both
coming and going. As / recall
it we were royalty entertained at
Hover on that occasion. AS some
tenderfeet may not know Hover
was Asome town" in those DAYS.
1t boasted of about two blocks of
business houses, a hotel and opera
house. For some time . daily
paper called the Hover Sunshine
was published and it was freely
predicted by early boomers that
Hover was the head of navigation
and would be the big town of the
Columbia. The Hover Sunshine
was not coming forth regularly
and vacant buildings were in evil
dence. It was conceded that per-
haps Kennewick had some chance
to make good. Few however were
prepared Tor what happened. Very
shortly after the Christmas I re-
fer to merchants and residents
commenced leaving Hover, the de-
serted buildings became the prey
OF fire, and in after months not
a building remained where the ac-
tivities Of the town were so ap-
parent only a short time before.
OF course we all understand that
each spell Of weather we have in
this country is different and un-
usual Well. it may be, but by and
By il one win take the trouble to
look up the neurological statictics
one will find that the amount of
rainfall is about the same each
year and that the mean registra-
lion of thermometer averages
about the same but weather pro-
phets one an dali fail to tell m
lust when the changes are to oc-
mr.

knights Of Pyth;as Notes of Intere.

Knights Of Pyth;as Notes of Interest.
One Of the biggest things in life is to
have big task to accomplish. A
few Years ago some members Of Gar
rett Lodge No. 113, Knights of Ply
thIas, set themselves the task of liu-
uldatlng the debt remaining on the
Pythian building. At that time they
realized what a big task that was, but
possessing the courage, determination
and will, they are about to realize
their fondest dreams of ownership
and receive real joy from the fact
that they have accomplished their
task. The accomplishment of this
great undertaking can be attributed
TO the vision these men had at the
beginning that "out of courage must
come good" Just list the virtues of
man and YOU will find that none of
them have force unless combined with
courage. SO it must have been the
combined loyalty and courage of each
member that made this task possible.
You loyal Knights who were not
fortunate enough to be present Friday
evening, would have received great in
SDlratlon from the enthusiasm dis
f4ttSCu anu Clt unanimous OPINION
voiced for the burning of the mort
gage remaining on the Pythian home.
This promises to be very large af
fair, and though the date for this
celebration has not been definitely
set, let this serve as a warning to
keep yourself in readiness to attend
and participate. The Chancellor Com
mander has appointed committees on
parade, entertainment, publicity and
refreshments, and the chairmen of
these various committees are going
ahead making preparations for one
OF the biggest evenings in Pythian
history. AS this will be "get to-
gether" meeting it is hoped that the
membership now comprising $50 will
be largely represented, thus making
the streets of Oakland black with
Pythians that this community may
appreciate the size and value of this
organization.
Watch The Republican for further
announcements of this event.
