 1900 Stolen Cars in State.
 State police say over 1,200 persons in Connecticut have in their possess sion automobiles that were stolen by the gang of which, they claim, the four accused were members. The present holders of the stolen cars face the possibility of having them taken | from them.

Out Goes All Rheumatic Poison
Rheuma Acts on Kidneys, Liver and

Get bottle of Rheuma today and wear satisfied smile on your face tomorrow.
 It's remedy that is astonishing the whole country, and it's just as good for gout, sciatica, lumbago and kidney misery as for rheumatism.
 It drives the poisonous waste from the joints and muscles-that's the secret of Rheuma's success.
 But we don't ask you to take our word for it; go to Clark & Brainerd CO. or any good druggist and get a bottle, and if 1t doesn't do as we promise get your money back. It will be there waiting for you.

 Ford Agent Interviewed.
 A. M. Graham, local representative of Dutee Wilcox Flint. agent for the Ford automobile. when interviewed last night, said, We know nothing of Goldy's operation. We do know, however. that several dealers have been selling as used cars practiclly new Fords at prices which are less than any Ford dealers have to pay for them. We know that almost all of these cars have been registered in Connecticut under motor numbers, duplicates of which are in various parts of the country.
 The Ford Motor company assured | us that they affix no duplicate num- bers to their motors. The entire | hing up to the present has been a treat mystery to us.'

to the grower. In fact, condition
which make for good Winesap mar
ket are better than they were las
year, and there is reason to believe
that this commodity will be sold al
prices fairly remunerative to the
grower.
The hay grower has as good crol
and as good prospects for market
as he had last autumn. Even with
wheat prices down to the dollar level
the Horse Heaven ranchers have
grown and marketed to better advan-
tage than they were able to do last
year.
The Church Mfg. company has ham
died one of the largest grape tonnages
in it's history at prices satisfactory
to the vineyard owners. Cream pay
checks have increased in size and
numbers. There are more poultry in
the district than last year and fair
prices have prevailed.
The last report of Kennewick's two
banks show increased deposits oyer
a year ago and the balance between
loans and deposits has been main
tanned.
The Courier-Reporter is not at
tempting to kid itself or its read
ers into believing that Kennewick is
enjoying period of prosperity. Ken
newick isn't. But this paper does be-
lieve that the community has shown
progress during the year and that
business is on more substantial basis
than last year. 1t believes that in spite
of the dark spots here and there in
spite of individual cases of financial
stress and stringency, there is ample

HoW,s BUSINESS

A S THE harvest season draws to ;
"A close, as the B. v. DIS take t.
winter quarters, as the coal scuttl'
comes again into use and the screer
doors leave their hinges, the though
of a community naturally turns tt
an appraisal of business not neces.
sarily the buiness of the shop. the
store and the manufacturing plant
but of the farm as well. This is the
shopping season-the season when
the buying demands of life's neces-
saries are heaviest-the season when
the public buys not so much in pros
pect as upon basis of conditions as
they are. Consequently this is the
season when the question mark looms
large in the business of every house
hold and the answer is to be found
to the question as to whether the
community has or has not cashed in
upon the endeavors of the year.
Unquestionably business-by bust
ness we mean the purchasing power
of the peoples better in Kennewick
than it was at this time a year ago.
There are some who will doubt the
truth of this statement but the facts
prove it.
There is more work, there are more
people, and there is more money in
Kennewick than year ago. Farm
production in the territory tributary
to Kennewick this year is more than
double perhaps treble that of 1922.
1t is true that prices of farm products
have not yet reached the economic
level to which they are entitled and to
which they must eventually come, but
with few exceptions prices have been |
as good or better than last year.
The briefest review is convincing
that the community income is far
greater than in 1922. The asparagus
crop was many tines greater and the
average price better. The strawberry !
shipments were seven times those
of 1922 and the price as good. The ear
ly potato acreage was not so large |
but the price better. Last year we had |
no cherries nor peaches. This year
there was fair crop and a fair price. !
There was no market for pears this
year but last year we had no pears
to market.
Last year the district produced only
handful of apples compared to
normal crop. This year the crop was
the biggest in the districts, history.
Prices for the earlier varieties have
been too low to be profitable, but
the earlier varieties constitute only
