SUMMERS MAJORITY
II GROWS LARGER YEARLY

Official figures just compiled fof
the recent election show that congress
man John w. Summers not only
carried the IL counties of his district
but received a lead of more than
$4,000 votes over his nearest opponent.
This margin is about 5000 more than
he received in 1922 and six times the
majority he received when first
elected.
A review of figures in the eight Pr
mary and general elections in which
DR.. Summers has been candidate
for congress shows that he has
seldom or never failed to receive the
majority vote of each of the IL
counties in his district.
Congressman Summers led the ma
tional ticket in 1920 and this year led
the national ticket in II of his IL coun-
ties and received about $500 more votes
than President Coolidge in the
fourth district.
During the past six years DR.. Sum-
mers has had IL competitors for his
scat in Congress.

one more tract which would bring
the project to an even one hundred
-2o-acre farms.
Appropriations by the legislature
for projects of this kind are available
only for the two year periods be-
tween Legislatures, ,and the depart
ment of conservation and develop
ment intends to ask the incoming
legislature to appropriate 100000 to
complete the project and for financing
the settlers in the purchase of dairy
cows, etc. The Priest Rapids Valley
Progressive League, of which ]. c.
Lloyd is president, has extended an
invitation to M. M. Moulton of Ken
newick, representative from Benton
county, d. v. Morthland of Yakima,
jcint-senator of Yakima and Benton
counties, Logan Long of Connell,
representative of Franklin county and
John Hanks of Ellensburg, represen-
tative of Kittitas county, to visit the
project some time agreeable to them
and before the convening of he le-
gislature, to fortify themselves with
the facts regarding it SO that they
will be prepared to discuss it intelli-
gently when the appropriation meas
ure comes up for consideration.
Awaiting himself of a provision in
the Land Settlement Act to give
preference to ex-service men, D. A.
Scott, director Of conservation and
development, has held this project
open only to them. In this he has
had the whole hearted cooperation
of the American Legion but has been
criticised severely by others and for
a year or more the advisability of
throwing the project open to settle
ment by civilians has been discussed
by those interested in the success of
the project and there appears pro-
bability that such action will be tax
en- in the not distant future. If the
project is thrown open to civilian
settlement, ex-service men will still
be given the preference but no one
will be turned down if otherwise
qualified, even though he is not an
ex-service man.

EXCEPTIONAL PROGRAM
GIVEN BY GRADE SCHOOL

The grade school gave a Christ
mas program at Liberty Hall Thurs
day evening, December 18. In spite
of the chilly breezes blowing from
the north, a large crowd of people
was out to witness the children per-
form their parts.
The hall and the stage were deco
rated with the seasons colors and a
very attractive Christmas greeting
sparkled from the rear curtain. Ar
artistically decorated Christmas tree
lighted with red and green lights
was unable to cover up the large
Pile of mysterious looking packages
deposited at its foot.
The program of appropriate reci.
tations, dialogues, songs, one-act
plays, and exercises, the pathetic and
the humorous intermingled, drew
forth applause and admiration from
the audience. Every number was dis
tinctly and promptly rendered, show
ing conscientious preparation and
careful planning.
The climax was reached when with
a jingle Of bells Santa himself rushed
onto the stage. He delved immediate
ly into the packages at the foot ol
the Christmas tree and commenced
to call the names of the boys and
girls and the teachers of the grade
school. Each one received package
of Christmas cheer.
In the audience there were some
yet too young to attend school, who
when they saw Santa appear in per
son, made frantic efforts to get Out
of the door in time to see the rein
deer and the sled, but falling to gel
the necessary cooperation from their
elders these young ones are still pn.
sophisticated and happy.

SCHOOL NOTES

The White Bluffs and Hanford
high school basketball teams met for
their second encounter of the season
in the high school gymnasium last
Friday evening. Two games were
played. The scores for the first team
game were, Hanford II, White
Bluffs 10; for the second teams
White Bluffs II, Hanford IL. A
third game had been scheduled be-
tween the girls teams, but the Han
ford girls failed to make their ap-
pearance and so forfeited the game.
the score of forfeited games being
two to nothing.
The two games played were close
throughout. In the first team game
Hanford drew first blood by convert
ing free throw, but White Bluffs
Immediately toook the lead and held
it until the last quarter. At the end
of the first half the score stood
White Bluffs 10, Hanford S. In the
final quarter Hanford made a rally,
shooting three baskets in rapid sue
cession, meanwhile holding the White
Bluffs boys helpless.
The surprise of the evening was
the playing ability and fight shown
by the second string men. From
the first whistle the youngsters set
fast pace and held it throughout.
The score was tied time after time,
and it was not until the last few
minutes of play that the more smooth
team work of the White Bluffs boys
began to really show its effects and
gave them definite lead. The out
at1 IL ne
accomplished by Alvin Barge for the
first team and Jay Montgomery and
Arthur Anderson for the second
team.
The same teams and also the girls
teams are scheduled to meet on the
Hanford floor January 9. Four more
games Of basketball have been sche-
duled with Hanford for this season.
Two debates between Hanford and

STILL LOVES ATHLETES


Y A bulletin from the state college
says that Miss Aileen Sprague, who
has charge Of the baseball plans for
the Women's Athletic Association
at the college, has announced that
she is at work on plans for an inter-
group schedule of games for indoor
baseball players.
The various sororities and women's
dormitories are canvasing their mem
bership for the best available talen,
to represent them in the coming
tusslc for honors.
Aileen was always a great lover of
outdoor sports while attending school
in White Bluffs and that she still re-
tains that fondness is indicated by
her present activities at the state
college.

Since work was started the first
of last August, crews working under
the direction of the state have clear
ed, levcled and seeded to rye approx
imately 500 acres in the state land
settlement project, according to Pro-
ject Manager ]. c. Scott. One hun-
dred and forty-five acres have been
completed in the Hanford district and
the balance in the vicinity of White
Bluffs. The work was started primar-
lily to put all the unseeded tracts
in shape so that when the new set
tiers came in they would not have to
experience years delay or more
in getting their tracts under culti-
vation; but when the settlers already
on the project SOW the efficient and
economical way in which the work
was being done they asked the state
to clear, level and seed to rye the
part of their tracts not yet in crop,
with the result that practically all
of the settlers now on the project
will have their entire acreage under
cultivation next year.
The work is still proceeding but
the cold weather has slowed it Up
and probably not much more will be
done this year. If the legislature and
next administration are willing the
job will be finished next fall.
During the past year seventeen
new settlers have come in and four
have thrown up their contracts fo>
one reason or another. Fifty-nine cf
the ninty-nine tracts have been Sc
lected and all of these fifty-nine set
tiers with the exception of five, are
now on the land. These five expect
to establish Their residence on their
tracts within the next few months.
This leaves forty tracts open for set
tlement. In 1924 the state secured
water for irrigation on forty-five
tracts and constructed buildings on
forty three of them. Water has beer,
secured now on all tracts that the
state intends to develop in the pro-
ject, with the possible exception of

Science

As science increases its range
of knowledge it becomes more nee
essary for scientists 10 specialize
rather than to attempt to know
something of all branches.
The science Of chemistry is new,
but already has made such pros
reSs that no one person can know
what is known Of chemistry.
Chemistry that deals with earths.
metals and ordinary elements is
called inorganic chemistry. The
branch that deals with the com
pound of carbons is called organic
chemistry The branch that inves-
tigates living substances and sub
stances derived from them is called
biOchemistry In this latter field
alone the substances that have not
yet been investigated run into fig
ures that make millions look small.
Scientists must specialize in this
field in order to know even a small
subdivision Of the subject.

Not Much Difference

Let me tell you about the child life
Of my city. Remember, too. the
child life Of New York does not differ
from that Of Chicago. and San Fran
cisco. and Philadelphia, and Boston,
and New Orleans. and St. Louis. 1t
IS the same in every city.
While commissioner of health n
New York City I ordered a survey~
to determine the effects Of the de-
privation Of the necessary food upon
the health of the children.
The number Of children examined
was 1907. The Ialse percentage Of
nutritionaI disorders was startling.
It showed the following:
One thousand two hundred and
ninety-four children were found to
he suffering from maInutrition.
Nine hundred and ninety-three' had
anemia.
Seven hun dred and eighty-f1ve
were under normal weight.
Six hundred and eisht had other
disorders due TO the lack of proper
food.
Three thousand six hundred and
forty-eieht were markedly under
rourishei
In short. 1928 out of 1907 chill
dren showed more or less evidence
of the tack Of proper and adequate
food.
1t makes no difference Whether the
number of underECurished children
runs into the hundreds of thousands
OF whether the number is only a
few thousand. if there is any under
uourishment il the city Of New
New York or any ether American
city due to lack Of food, it is an evil
which must be removed.
