KANSAS CITY MAN
OUTLINES PLAN
Other Towns of Kennewick'S
Size Finance Own Home
Building

Frank A. Chase, of Kansas City,
gave an interesting talk Tuesday eve
ming to number of business men on
the possibilities of the mutual build
ing and loan association in the small
er towns.
Mr.. Chase several years ago or
ganized mutual associations in Ia
coma and Spokane. He was at one
time state senator from King county
and was instrumental in putting thru
the building and loan association law
of this state. He is now employed
as organizer and instructor of build
ing and loan associations by the
Southern Pine Lumbermens associa-
tions He came to the Northwest to
address a meeting in Tacoma and
stopped off in Kennewick to visit his
daughter, Mrs. Lynn HI. Smith.
Mr.. Chase told of the remarkable
success Of building and loan associa-
tions in scores of towns no larger
than Kennewick. He said that thru
the cooperation of men, women and
children of a community who put
their savings into an association a
home building campaign can be finan-
ced without the use Of outside capi-
tai The advantages~of such an or
ganization are manifold. Through it
the whole community is enlisted in
IA thrift campaign, the savings of the
people are consolidated and put to
work for the Improvement and up
building of the community. 1t works
to the benefit of III stockholders
who put their money into it, to those
who are paying rent but would like
to own their own homes and stimu-
lates practically every line Of bust
ness.
Those who heard Mr.. Chase were
very favorably impressed with possi-
bilities of starting an association here.
1t is estimated that during the past
two years Kennewick has lost $50
families because of shortage Of
homes. a g,.af
In order to ascertain how wide
spread is the desire for such an asso-
citation coupon has been prepared
and printed on this page. Those who
are interested are requested to sign
the coupon and mail it to w. r. Craw-
ford, secretary of the Commercial
club. Signing the coupon puts the
signer under no obligation--it merely
signifies his or her desire to know
more about the'p plan of organization.
Interest in the movement should not
be limited to those who might wish
to build homes but should include all
who might desire to invest their saw
ings. rH

TOO HOT TO MEET
No Evening Meeting Of Commercial
Club July and August

The Commercial club has voted to
discontinue the semi-monthly meetings
during July and August. Attendance
had fallen off to point where it was
difficult to secure a quorum.

at Hotel Kennewick cafe each Thurs
day noon. Such business as cannot
be transacted at the luncheons will be
handled at special meetings called by
the president.
AT the regular meeting of the club
Thursday evening the question of dis
continuing the evening meetings was
reconsidered and it was voted to dis
continue during July only. The next
regular meeting will be the second
Thursday in August.

U. S. GRADES WRONG
French Says Federal Standards 90
Not Fit Our Crops

y -f
Director Of agriculture E. L. French
is bitterly opposed to the adoption OF
general federal standards for grading
farm products throughout the entire
country, holding that it is lmpossiDie
to fix grades that treat every sectlon
fairly. He says:
"The farming interests OF TINS state
must view with alarm any STANDARDS
of their commodities that are beng
established by the federal government.
mo matter how conscientiously the
federal office may be in trying to
establish a standard for their crops
no swivel chair artist living 5000
miles away is in good position 70
grade the farmers commodity as is
the fellow who is on the job and
knows local problems and markets"
Mr.. French declares that through
the insistence of farmers the hay
standards were not adopted in this
state last year. He says that 1T was
the consensus Of opinion that hay pro-
duced could not be marketed under
the federal standards. Correction OF
grain standards not more nearly fit
Washington crop conditions, be says.
Washington eggs, Mr.. French points
out, are three or four grades better
than the federal STANDARD and should
not be graded down to conform to
national regulations.

FARMERS DISCUSS
FEDERAL CREDITS

Following out the new ruling of
the National Farm Loan Board en-
larging the rediscount field of the In
termediate Credit Bank representa-
tives of the Northwest Hay associa-
tion, who have been very anxious to
obtain finance support from the Inter
mediate Credit Banks and representa-
tives of the fruit interests Of the val
ley held a preliminary conference
Thursday morning with view to de-
termine whether it would be better to
create one large rural credit associa-
tion to take care of the FINANCE needs
of all the co-operatives in the valley,
or to set up several smaller units.
1t was decided to call larger meet
ing including representatives from all
the fruit, dairymen, livestock and hay
interests as well as vegetable associa-
tions in the valley to meet with the
manager of the intermediate Credit
Bank to discuss this problem. This
meeting will be held in the very near
future. 1t is hoped to get the new
credit Offered by the rural credit bill
made available for the growers of the
Yakima Valley at the earliest possible
moment.

GROWING
OF OTHER CROPS
Commissioner French Says
Importations of Farm
Products are Large

Director E. L. French has sounded
a warning to Washington farmers
that they are suffering a tremendous
annual loss through failure to produce
crops demanded by customers of this
state.
The records of our office show
that we imported. over $4,000, ,OOC
worth of corn last year and paid out
over $1,OOO,OOO in freight rates to
he railroads for transporting it here .
said Mr.. French. 1--WE imported nearly
s., ,000, 900 worth of oats and paid for
this half a million dollars in freight
rates.
"These figures only cover the i'm
ported corn and oats that is inspected
at terminals. 1t is estimated that
twice this much actually came into the
state. as - 4.
Besides these grains brought here
to supply the Washington markets
there is great quantity Of beef and
pork imported for consumption here
with this condition existing, il
would seem that our farmers do moi
necessarily have to depend upon wheat
as money crop. It is true that we
have gone into corn on a limited scale
Last year $4,000 acres were planted
to corn and these acres have shown
the success that attends corn raising
here. In fact the yield Of corn was AZ
bushels to the acre which is higher
than the average in the corn belt and
25 per cent higher than the average
for the entire United States. The
average yield Of oats in Washington is
one-third larger per acre than the
average for the whole country"

WANT BRIDGE
TOLLS REDUCED
Kennewick and Pasco Clubs
Make Joint Request of
Directors

L. E. Johnson and M. M. Moulton
representing the Kennewick CONNER
cial club and delegation from the
Pasco Chamber of Commerce are in
Walla Walla today for the purpose
Of asking the directors of the Ben
tom Franklin Intercounty Bridge to
lower the bridge tolls.
Sending these delegations TO the
stockholders meeting is result of
action taken last week by the local
club which passed q resolution re-
questing that tolls be reduced, espec-
tally for one-way traffic and the elm
nation of the per passenger charge.
Mr.. Moulton yesterday appeared be-
fore the Pasco Chamber of Commerce
and requested that organization to
take similar action. They not only
adopted similar resolution but urg.
ed both organizations to send delega.
tions to present the request in per.
son.
It is the opinion of those making
the request that a reduction will re-
suit in IN enlarged volume Of traffie
so that the earnings of the bridge will
not be impaired. s
At q recent called meeting the di-
rectors of the corporation declared .
8 per cent dividend. July first the
bridge had been in operation nine
months and the present dividend
makes . total of five per cent. 1,
is the belief Of the directors that the
business Of the next three months
will permit of three per cent divi-
dend which will mean q return of s
per cent to the stockholders for the
first years operation.

ATTENDS GREAT
MEET OF MEDICS
DR.. Tullar Returns From
American Medical
Convention

DR.. and Mrs. A. G. Tuller returned
the first of the week from motor
trip to San Francisco, Los Angeles
and other California cities. They re-
port a most enjoyable vacation and
with few exceptions ideal motoring
conditions.
In San Francisco DR.. Tullar attend
ed the annual meeting of the American
Medical Association which he char
acterizes as joy and an inspiration.
The sessions which were held in San
Francisco's magnificent civic center
were attended by four thousand
American physicians and surgeons.
The great auditorium was given over
to exhibits portraying hundreds of
new discoveries and new methods
which mark the progress Of medical
science and surgical skill in America.
Each day the association met in
eight groups, at which lectures were
given and clinics conducted by some
of the worlds most eminent physic-
ians and surgeons.
After the convention closed DR..
Tullar attended a nubmeer of clinics
held in southern California cities, and
returned to Portland in. time to at
tend the three-days' meeting of the
Oregon Medical Society.
In Bell DR.. and Mrs. Tullar visited
at the home Of DIR. and Mrs. F. M.
Crosby and report that owing to i'll
health DR.. Crosby. has been compelled
to give up his practice. Owing to a
previous engagement they We're un-
able to attend the "Kennewick" picnic
held on the fourth at Santa Monica
beach by former residents of thiseity.
1.-TWO things particularly impressed
me-" said DR.. Tullar. "First, crops in
California do not seem to be advanced
any more than ours. The cherry
harvest was just on when we got down
there and they were just picking their
apricots when we returned. Pears in
the orchards along the highway were
no larger or more matured than they
are here. This of course made us
feel good but the thing which took
the Joy out of our young lives was
the reputation which Washington has
for poor roads.
Everywhere we stopped we heard
tourists advised not to go thru Wash
ington because of its poor roads, and
compared with Oregon and California
highways, Washington roads most
certainly are inferior. Oregon, with
less taxable wealth, with smaller
population and which started road
building after we did, has outstripped
this state in highway construction.
From the time we crossed the Ply
mouth ferry to the Oregon side, we
had ideal roads to the California line
For about $50 miles thru northern
California the roads are rough but
after that, pavement all the way. Re-

urning, we came by way of Seattle,
travelling over Washington's prize
highway, the Pacific, the pavement
of which has not been completed and
the Inland Empire highway from Sc
