DEBOW FILES SUIT
TO GUST M'NE|LL

Sam Allard returned Thursday
evening from Prosser. where on
Monday he was sworn in as county
commissioner together with R. H.
Briggs of Kennewick. The new
board organized by the election of
Mr.. Briggs as chairman.
The first problem confronting
the new board was the controversy
between A. G. McNeill and C. f.
DsBow over the commissionership
OF the Prosser district. While De-
B,w received an overwhelming ma.
jority of the votes over McNeill in
the election last November, the
latter now contends that his APP.
pointment was for the full term of
DR.. French, which would not have
expired until January I, 1926.
The attorney general and county
attorney both say that there is a
conflict between the state constitu-
ton and the state law on the ques-
ton, and suggest that the matter
should be settled in the courts.
The county attorney advised that
the safer course for the board to
follow is to allow McNeill to con-
tinue as commissioned until the
courts decide which one is entit'e d
to the seat. AS the county attor-
ney is the legal advisor of the com.
missioners, they decided to follow
his advice. This was agreeable to
DeBow. who was present, and he
Immediately filed snit in the Super
Tor court to GUST McNeill.
Mr.. Allard says he expects to
spend good deal Of time during
the next month going over the
roads in his district to map out a
road Improvement campaign for
the coming year.
The following resolution was
passed by the new hoard and sent
this week to all Of the papers in
the county for publication:
MOVED and carried that the
County Commissioners of Benton
County condemn the practice of
county employees using the county
cars for their own private use and
respectfully requests that all coun-
ty employees who have the use of
county cars, see to it that these
cars are used only for county bus.

Community Day to
Prepare II. S. Grounds

The time is coming in the near
future when the grounds at the
thigh school must be prepared fol-
the seeding of a lawn and put in
condition for base ball and other
outdoor games. This can be done
in either of two ways. The direc-
tors can go ahead and hire the
work done, and pay for it out of
the taxpayers money, or the tax
payers can turn out and do the
work themselves and save this
money for other needed improve
ments and equipment that will help
make this an accredited high
school. The directors have decided
to try out the latter plan and have
set Saturday, January Goth, as the
time. F. ID. Edwards has been
selected to direct the work and ev.
cry one in the community has been
urged to come out on that date
and bring teams, wagons equipped
with dump boards, slips, fresnos.
shovels and other needed imple-
ments, and to help with the work.
The following unique call for
helpers was contributed by Miss
Vida D. Scudder:
Where will youall be next Saturday
Just where we all ana,
We all with our teams an scrapers
You all with your hoes, an
rakes an spades.
An women folks and chilluns
When we meet at the "Workfest"
Next Saturday morning at s
o'clock.
You all can bring your chicken,
An pork an beans, an ham.
We all has a secret to tell
Our Woman's Club, good hot
liquid,
An perhaps--but wait and partake.
Where? Did you all ask?
Where, but at the New High
School.
When? Did we all hear some one
ask?
Eight a. M, Saturday, Jan. 20,
1923.
Why? To make White Bluffs High
IA campus and diamond to be
proud Of,
Will we all be there-Yea.
One hundred per cent Legion
One hundred percent community.
If as Stacker you would pose.
When everyone else to the Work
fest" goes.
Pack your kit and satchel, move
your 2x4's,
White Bluffs isn't the place for you,
Where, the good Lord only knows.

OId-Timers to Cooperate
With Soldier Settlers

The joint meeting of the Com
.munity club and the Land Settlers
association at the high school audi
torium Tuesday evening, was one
of the best attended public. meet
! ings held in White Bluffs for some
time.
| As soon as the detail work of
the Community club was finished,
the meeting was turned over to the
Land Settlers association, j. C..
Scott, project manager being Sc
lected as chairman. MIR. Scott in
a brief way explained the purpose
of the meeting and why The soldier
settlers wanted the older settlers
to cooperate with them in the pro-
duction of vegetables on CONNER
cial scale. They said that the set
tiers on the state tracts were plan
ming to 60 at the, work of prepar-
ing their ground for these crops in
practical and systematic way, but
that there we're not enough of
them on the ground yet to furnish
the required acreage to produce
the vegetables in carlot shipments.
which would be necessary to make
it a profitable Undertaking, and
asked the older settlers to plant at
least small part of their farms to
these crops.
Mr.. Scott then called upon Roy
G. Robinson, who has had consider
able experience in the growing of
vegetables ON a commercial scale in
other localities in the state, to
give his ideas en- the subject. Mr..
Robinson made a splendid talk and
impressed everyone with his knowl-
edge, not only as to the growing of
vegetable crops, but the marketing
end as we'll. One of the high spots
in Mr.. Robinson's talk was the
statement that while he was in
hearty accord with the efforts be-
ing made to advertise the valley to
the world, he believed it was just
as important to establish reputa-
ton in the marketing centers in
the northwest for the production Of
high class vegetables earlier than
most of the other districts. so that
growers here would he as ured Of a
year in and year out market for
their crops. Another of the SOL
dier settlers told of his experience
last year in the growing of egg
plants. For the old timers, H. F.
Thumm. R. W. Judd, w. H. Fergu-
son, s. V. Tanning, Edmund An
derson and others told of their ex-
experience and all said that while
they were able TO- grow most of
the staple vegetable crops, the I'M
dertaking was never very profitable
because they had to sell locally or
send the stuff out in express ship
ments. The soldier settlers plan
of dividing the acreage Of each va
riety so that no grower would have
more than he could care for, and
the sh poing in carlots made big
hit with everyone and sufficient
number indicated that they would
cooperate, to insure the plan being
tried out here this year.
! Before adjourning until next
Wednesday evening it was decided
| that all Of the older settlers who
wa ted to go in on the scheme
should laa7e their ranes with j.
c. Scott, and several have already
done this.

Special Session Is
Called for July l6
Governor Ross Issues Proclamation
Declaring That Extraordinary De-
casion Requires Extra Session.

Governor William b. Ross has called
a special session of the Wyoming legis-
lature, to take place at the state capt.
tol at 10 o'clock a. IN. on July 10th,
the purpose being to re-enact the
state Farm Loan law, making it eff
fective as planned by the last legisla-
tive assembly, and which purpose
failed owing to an error or oversight
on the part of a clerk who failed to
include thereon several sections which
were of vital Importance to the farm
ing interests of the state. The COVER
nor's proclamation reads as follows:
PROCLAMATION.
Whereas public interests require
that the legislature of the State of
Wyoming should be convened in extra
session at ten o'clock a. m, on the six
teenth day of July, 1923, for the pur-
pose of enacting a State Farm Loan
law in accordance with the provisions
of the State Farm Loan act as agreed
upon by the conference committee and
b two houses of the recent regular
session of the Seventeenth state legis-
lature, but which failed to become a
law.
Now, therefore, I, William B. Ross,
Governor of the State of Wyoming, do
hereby proclaim and declare that an
extraordinary occasion requires the
Legislature of the State of Wyoming to
convene In extra session at the capitol
in the city of Cheyenne on the six
