There is available good supply labor for work
IN the beet fields. But the indications that bv the mid
die OF April labor will be demand railroads and other
industries in addition to other sugar beet growers
Other beet companies will this Spring start ship
ping labor earlier than in former seasons
We want the for factories to get their due
numbers of the better class of beet workers.
10 succeed we must start shipping by April 10th
1T is RECOMMENDED THAT GROWERS WHO RE-
QUlRE OUTSIDE LABOR PLACE THEIR ORDERS VITA
THEIR FIELDMEN OR FACTORY AT ONCE FOR DE-
LIVERY SOON AFTER APRIL 18TH.
Labor engaged for the early shipments be selected
to the best ability of agents The best possible helm
will be obtained for the growers for factories
Experienced beet labor, the WHOLE preferable to
green help The experienced workers call for less super
vision from the who needs only that they do
his beet work the best Green hands taught
that they do it properly
AS far possible desire to furnish experienced

WILL STAY ANOTHER YEAR

E. G. Haglin of Minneapolis,
trustee of the G.. B. Smith es-
tate, owner of the White Bluffs
Land & Irrigation company
tracts of which Ira Hawley is
local manager, was in White
Bluffs from last Friday evening
until Tuesday morning going
over the years orchard opera
tions with Mr.. Hawley. The
company tracts are the largest
water users under the White
Bluffs Water company plant.
Mr.. Haglin and Mr. Hawley
have been considering for some
time the advisability of install
ling their own pumping plant.
If they did this the individual
tracts would have to do like
wise as their acreage would not
be sufficient to stand the over
head Of the large plant. Before
leaving Mr.. Haglin said they
had decided to stay with the
White Bluffs Water company
for at least another year.

Took MIN At HIS WORD

Did you ever invite any one
to dinner and have them show
up when you really did not ex-
pect them TO, accept sthe invita-
ton? On his way home from
Kennewick last Saturday Ira
S. Jones, one of the soldier set
tiers, found it necessary to STOP
his car and drive a team OF
farm horses out Of the road
near the Grosscup bridges over
the Yakima river. The horses
were very gentle and as he
urged them out Of the road Mr..
Jones, told them willie patting
them on the neck that if they
would come up to his place he
would give them big dinner.
Imagine his surprise when the
team. showed up at his farm
about 4 o'clock the next after
noon, having travelled between
25 and 80 miles to accept his
invitation. He says the horses
weigh around 1400 or 1900
pounds and the owner can have
them by helping out a little
with their board bill as the
horses do not seem to under
stand the difference between
an invitation to dinner and a
house party.

sTOFs WENATcHEE STAGE.

The petitions to the postoffice
department for the establishment
of a star route between Kennewick
and Wenatchee which have been
placed in the different towns along
the route, are being quite general
Iy signed and will soon be gathered
up and forwarded to the postal au-
thorities. If established, the route
would simply be an extension of
the star route between Kennewick
and White Bluffs and would be a
great convenience to the towns
along the route.
Berause of a lack of sufficient
business, j. O. Maupin has discon-
tinued for an indefinite period the
stage route between White Bluffs
and Wenatchee. If the departmen
can be persuaded to establish star
route, Mr.. Maupin believes that
the mail contract and passenger
business could be made to paw.
