America Leads in Home
COMFORTS

The average American home has more COM
forts and conveniences than the palaces of
Europe. Home for home, the American house
hold has wel-kept look, an atmosphere of pros
perity and contentment you cannot find in the
homes of any other country in the world.
I'm foreign lands, the modernized dwelling, as
we know it, is found only in limited numbers and
then only in the larger cities.
in America even in remote rural districts, you
find pianos, vacuum cleaners, washing machines
up-to-date heating systems, telephones and num-
berless appliances that go far to make life easier
happier and more worth while.
You may not realize it, but Americas high
standard of home life is due largely to advertis-
ing For the development of advertising is dis
tinctively American. It has taken it's place as a
leading force in bringing together the interests
and wants of great, united people. And large
share of the credit for this development is due
the newspapers
Stop and think how many of the appli-
ances you use, the foods you eat, the clothes you
wear, and other articles entering into your every
day life, were popularized by newspaper adver-
tising.
Then you will realize what vital part adver-
tising has played and is playing in your daily
life. es ~

EOR the first time in several years
I the local Chautauqua committee
failed to sell the required number of
season tickets to meet the guarantee.
Strange as it may seem, in spite of
this fact, next years guarantors out
number this years by ten and the
signatures were more easily obtained
than ever before. This is but indica-
tive Of growing community inter-
est in favor of Chautauqua.
There is variety Of opinion as to
the fairness of the guarantee. The
Courier-Reporter has always been of
the opinion that the guarantee is only
of minor Importance. Whether there
is deficit or surplus of few dol
lars is not determining factor in
the value or the desirable
ity of Chautauqua. The real test
should be, does the community want
it and appreciate it? The Courier
Reporter is still of the opinion that
the community does.

vantage of carlot distribution" This
farmer lives nearer to Prosser than
to Kennewick.
What is true of asparagus is also
true of other crops. Grapes from
that section are shipped to the
Church Mfg. Co. here, cream comes
from there to the creamery here.
And believe US, when the farm mar
ket basket can unload profitably in
town it never goes home empty.
The trade of the rural community
follows the market basket every time.
The trade of that lower river coun-
try is an asset not to be overlooked.
With the building of the P. P. & L.
company's new power line thousands
of new acres are coming under culti-
walton and for the production of
early and tender crops no section of
the Columbia River Valley is superior
to, if equal those southern slopes
from Plymouth to Carley. The one
point of contact which Kennewick
has With that section, and by all
means should not lose, is the facil-
tiles for cooperative distribution of
farm products, and direct marketing
thru such organizations as the grape
Juice factory and the creamery.
The 3-Rivers Growers association,
the Big Y, the Observation-Disclosures
Fruitgowers company, the creamery
and the grape juice plant are the best
trade building assets this community
possesses. To them should be added
hay-growers' organization.

area of the town, as to how best face
new customers this way and to es-
tablish trade contact with them.
But how much thought has any of
us given to the cooperative market
ing organization as means to this
end? Have we ever considered the
desirability of striving to make Ken
newick a marketing center?
Believe it or not, Kennewick has
splendid start in that direction
right now. More and more Kenne-
wick is becoming recognized as the
center of the early crop district of
the Northwest AS time goes on the
early crops are going to figure more
and more largely in the development
of the Columbia River Valley. At
present the distant market centers
know this particular district as a
part of the Yakima valley, but the
time is coming, and not SO very far
distant when the Columbia River VAL
ley from Priest Rapids to Carley,
will be known of and by itself, a
district famed for it's early crops
the Imperial Valley of the North
west. Wherever the marketing of
this district centers there will the
trade center.
Few of us realize the trade pulling
power which Kennewick's marketing
organizations are already exerting.
No other one thing has tied Richland
to Kennewick like the cooperative
marketing Of farm crops and the
same things is true to lesser degree
of the agricultural district around
Pasco.
For the very same reason the
farmers down the valley from Ply
mouth. to Carley are facing toward
Kennewick rather than Prosser re-
CARELESS of nearness in miles. Twice
recently farmers of that district have
informed the editor Of the Courier
Reporter that they are more inter-
ested in the improvement Of the road
across the hills from Plymouth to
Kennewick than in the road from Pat
erson to Prosser.
The Kennewick business man has
regarded this road as primarily
tourist road The lower river farm
er regards it as marketing road.
Already the larger tree fruit grow
ers of that section market their crops
thru the Kennewick branch of the
Yakima Valley Fruit Growers asso-
citation. Other farmers are going
into asparagus, strawberries, potatoes
and other early crops and they are
looking to Kennewick as marketing
outlet. II put out some asparagus
this year. I'm going to put out some
more next year." said one of these
farmers. "My neighbors are doing
the same thing. It is our plan to put
on light truck and haul our stuff
across the hill to Kennewick, for
only at Kennewick can we take adj

TRADE BUILDERS
HOW many business men have ever
II considered the growers cooper


n considered the growers cooper
alive marketing agency as trade
getting agency? Most of Kenne-
wick's business men, the Courier-Re-
porter thinks, believe in and are
friendly to, the cooperative market
ing organizations. There are excep-
tions, it is true. Some are indiffer-
emit Others openly antagonistic. But
for the most part the cooperative
marketing efforts of the farmers of
this district have the moral support
of the business men.
No doubt this moral support is
largely due to recognition of the
fact that the more the farmer can
get for his products the greater is
bis purchasing power and the more
prosperous the community in gem
eral. In this respect the cooperative
marketing organization can be con-
sidered an indirect trade builder for
the merchant. But it is not this, in
direct result which the Courier-R Re
porter wishes to call to the attention
of the business man. All of us at
times have talked more or less about
the desirability Of striving to make
Kennewick distributing center, a
manufacturing center. The CONNER
cial club and the merchants collect
lively and individually have given
more or less thought as to ways and
means for extending the retail trade

PLAN
COURT LEAGUE
Meeting for Eight Team Cir
cult to be Called Next
Week

During the early part of next
week a meeting will be called for
the knights of Columbus club house
on High street. for the purpose OF
reorganizing a basketball league
among the members, the same as in
former seasons.
The leagues of former years
brought a big majority of the club
members together at least one night
of each week, and at next weeks
meeting an eight team circuit will
be worked for.
1t Is probable that an effort will
be made to have the club or some
one about the city, offer a prize for
the winning team. A prize of some
kind would create added interest II
the league games. and would cause
he regular players of all teams tc
come out for every game on the
schedule.
The plan proposed for this sea-
son is a two half schedule so as
to allow for a play-off series between
two championship teams at the close
of the second half schedule.
There is a possibility hat a rep
r%esentative team of the local coun-
ell may be organized to play teams
of other councils before the season
Is ended. These matters will be dis
eussed at the meeting planned fol-
next week.

WITH
LEAGUE TEAM
To Play With Boyle for SChe-
nectady in Two League
Contests

David 'Hank" Thomas, popular
local basketeer, one of the best pine
wood floor performers this section
has ever known, will play with the
Schenectady, N. Y. club in the New
York State League tomorrow night
and Saturday night.
Word of the two contests was con-
tanned in a telegram received from
the Schenectady manager this morn
ing. Tomorrow night, the Schenec-
tady club will play at Amsterdam,
and the following night Amsterdam
will go to Schenectady for a return
encounter.
The six team New York state cir
cult started last Friday the Schenec-
tady team losing an extra period
contest to the Glens Falls club at
Glens Falls on Friday, and the fol-
lowing night the Thomas club turn
ed the tables on the Falls quintet.
The State street star played bang
up ball for the Schenectady club in
both engagements.
Frankie Boyle of Newark, a mem
Der of the Amboy Club during the
latter part of last season, also is
playing with the Schenectady quin-
tet.
Boyle was originally scheduled to
play with the Meadowbrooks tomor-
row night, and Thomas with Amboy,
but the Schenectady announcement
resulted in Frank Buggy being sign
ed by the Newark manager, and Es-
trim by the local moguls.
The two quintets will be well
matched for Saturdays tilt on the
auditorium court. It is probable
that Schenectady will play their re-
naming home games on Friday
night. the same as last season.
