Such a settlement, 1t is pointed
out, would assist materially in stab
liking the foreign exchanges. So
long rs the debts remain unfunded
and, so far as Germany is concerned
unascertained, exchange quotations
are certain to undergo day to day
fluctuations 1Nlich discourage trade
and undermine values.
The International Trade Comis-
sion has brought forward a construc-
tive suggestion concerning exchanges.
1t has proposed that a union of the
principal trading nations be formed
and that they Jointly create a sort of
super-currency with a metallic re-
serve Such a currency, presumably,
would remain at par and would be a
steady anchor in the midst OF the
shifting values of francs, marks,
rubles, kronen and other currencies.
1t could be used as the foreign trade
medium. Each nation could use it's
w currency within its borders but
would have the general super-cur-
rency with which to effect interna-
tional exchanges. The Commission
presented this suggestion to Lloyds
at London where it was declared to
be by no means an unreasonable
plan. Lloyds now are ~insuring in
dividual international transactions
against loss through exchange fluc-
tuations.
The interest of the International
Trade Commission is primarily the
promotion of world trade. The
United States section has been very
active. The motive in attempting to
solve the European debt problem Is
non-political and non-partisan. The
International Trade Commission
wants to- stimulate business and sees
that business can not be stimulated
until the political questions have
been settled. Therefore it has turn
ed its attention to assisting In find
ing means to bring about payment
of the Preparations and other debts.
sterilization of the currencies of Eu-
rope and a general resumption of
conditions approximating those of
pre-war times. Where soldiers and
politicians have failed so far. the
business men are stepping in and
making suggestions in this manner
which may bear fruit.

TO TURN OFF
WATER SOON
Irrigation to be Suspended
to Kill Weeds in Lat
eral Canals

The month of May has been mark
ed by smooth and uninterrupted SER
vice of water in abundant supply in
the Kennewick valley. The moisture
condition of the land as a whole is
excellent.
Advantage has been taken of the
muddy flood waters of the Yakima to
prime the canals to maximum high
water levels and to silt-coat the banks
to save seepage later. A number of
running gopher holes were discovered
in the process but were caught by the
patrolmen in time to prevent breaks.
Gophers have been unusually active
this year and a record catch has been
made by the trapper.
The water weeds are growing rap
lily and are crowding the water up
on the lower laterals already. Lower

only the future can tell. Since the
project was first started the assertion
has frequently been made that "the
Methodist have bitten off more than
they can chew" 1t is true that the
building enterprise was launched at
the beginning of one of the leanest
years Kennewick has ever experienced.
This entailed hardships, sacrafices,
and burdens the builders did not, nor
could not, foresee.
Yet, in spite Of this the building
has been completed and is now ready
for dedication.- Whether or not the
church will prove burden too great
for the Methodists to carry, the Cour-
ier-Reporter doesn't know. The thing
about the project which interests this
paper most is the fact that the Meth
odists have splendidly demonstrated
their faith in the future of their COM
munity. If they had thought for a
minute that the community was not
going to grow, that its people were not
going to thrive and prosper, they GER
tainly would never have undertaken
the building project. They have shown
that they believe in this community
believe that it is community worth
living in, worth building church in.
Not only have they demonstrated
their faith in the community, but
their faith in, and loyalty to, their
church as an institutions las neces-
sary part of the community. They
believe this community needs a Meth
odist church and lacking one the COM
munity wouldn't be worth living in.
There's no doubt about it. Because
if this community did not have in it
people who have faith in themselves
and their own particular endeavors,
professions and organizations, wheth-
er they be Methodist churches, news
papers, grocery stores, or strawber-
ry patches, the community wouldn't
be worth living in and there wouldn't
be anybody living in tit wouldn't
be community. In other words this
community needs Methodist church,
if for no other reason than that there
are many people in the community
who think so.
In building the new church the
Methodists have displayed commend
able spirit-the true public spirit
the kind Of spirit that must actuate
the people if the community is to
progress; they have exemplified the
relationship that should exist between
the individual and, the community, a
relationship which is the inevitable
result of a firm belief that both he
and his community are worth while.

Lateral 2 was chained Friday of last
week. Conditions point to the hrst
general turnout of water about June
10th to 18th. IF a good rain should
come even a little earlier than that,
advantage will be taken to turn out
the water Immediately following it.
Attention is called to the practice
of using the canals banks as dump
ing ground for all manner of trash,
tin cans, brush and garbage, especial
w in the town of Kennewick. This
must not be done. The district en-
deayors, so far as its limited funds
permit, to keep these banks from be-
coming a public eyesore and needs the
cooperation of all good citizens, es-
peciaily those living near the canal,
who have personal interest in keep
ing it neat. A decent respect for the
rights of others should guarantee this
result but, if this practice is per-
sisted in, steps will be taken to pre-
vent it.
Swimming time is now here and
the manager wishes to warn the boys
that boats, RATS, floats or planks
cannot be permitted in the canals.
The danger of causing break is
too great. 1t must be remembered
that the smooth service of this canal
is too big matter to the people of
this valley to be endangered in this

THE NEW CHURCH

HAVE the Kennewick Methodists
- builded wisely and well? The
new church building which is to be
dedicated Sunday speaks for itself.
They most certainly builded well. The
new building is handsome structure
which will do credit to Kennewick
when it has grown far beyond it's
present size. In this respect the
Methodists are to be congratulated
and the community should rejoice with
them in the dedication of their new
home.

LITTLE GIRL
FROCKS
BY Rita Stuyvesant'

IN another month pretty and
practical outdoor frocks for
the youngsters will be in
order.
Often one pattern can be used
for a dozen frocks, and each will
appear delightfully."- different.
One frock is cut from pink
linen and shows a yoke and cuffs
of white linen. Pink linen thread
French knots are worked on the
white. and at the side seams
there is a sash of crisp white or
CANDY attached, which ties in a
huge bow at the back. There are
cunning step-tns, too, with cuffs
Of white linen dotted in pink.
Another delightful frock from
this pattern is made up in pale
yellow wolfe, and shows a deep
cape bertha collar at the neck.
This is edged with narrow black
val. lace slightly shirred. The
short sleeves are also lace
trimmed. and there is bow Of
narrow black velvet ribbon with
long ends on the left shoulder.
A deep hem Is turned at the bot
tom and hemistitched. Boomers,
shirred in at the knees, are fin
ished with a narrow lace edging.
Polka dots are always favored
for children, and dark blue with
white dots is interesting If touch
ed with a bit Of red. A cunning
frock Of this type is made with
yoke of white organdy, and band
cuffs also of white. Red silk is
used to outline the yoke and
cuffs in a smart buttonhole stitch
and there are crescent-shaped
pockets stitched in red.
For party or dancing school
any little girl would like a frock
of crepe de chine, in peach, pink,
turquoise, orchid, light blue, maise
or lettuce green trimmed with
cream val. lace and pretty French
buds.
One might use this pattern for
the small child, to create such a
frock. The edge of the yoke,
and turn-back cuffs might be
frilled with the lace, and the bot
tom of the frock could be scallop-
ed widely and lace trimmed or
simply hemmed. Here and there
a tiny silk bud in pastel color
ing could be used.

w Els, Bunny is a gallant
little fellow. He showed
real bravery on one oc-
casion, I can tell you.
We were away up in northern

fur coat. And you don't know

When my hands got very cold
from driving, put them in my
pocket right on Bunny to warm
them.
1t was very dark and we were
trying to reach the small settle
ment which they called the
town. 1t was really just a few
shacks, where the trappers. who
hunt animals for the big fur
traders, had their headquarters.
It seemed as If something were
going to happen. And something
did happen.
Suddenly away off in the dis
lance, l heard low, moaning
sound. It was weird. 1t sounded
like the far-off whistle of a dis
tant ship.
Then it came nearer. It got
louder and louder. l didn't know
what to think.

I could see they were trembling

STOP letting envy and malice
spoil your life. You want the
man now because you resent see
Ing him happy with another.
Your reason for refusing him
seemed sufficient to you once.
You are young enough to wait
for a big, honest, unselfish love.
If the man loves the other girl
let her have him. And IL he is
weak enough to become engaged
to another out of pique, you don't
want him.
