RAIN COATS AND GREEN PEAS
IF prospective merchant came to
= Kennewick in rain storm and on
the strength of his experience opened
store with great stocks of rain
coats and umbrellas on his shelves,
what should we call him? What else
but fool. The merchant may have
come from district where rain coats
and umbrellas were best sellers but
in Kennewick he would soon learn
that one rain storm does not make
market.
Had he been a wise merchant he
would have studied, local conditions
and would have stocked his shelves
with those goods for which there is
local demand.
1t may be far jump from rain
coats and umbrellas to green peas
and sweet potatoes, but here goes.
Last year one or two local farm
ers made good money growing green
peas. On the strength of their exper-
fence considerable acreage has been
planted this year. The green pea
farmers have already invested time
and money, will invest more time and
money and will undoubtedly bring
on an excellent crop. But just how
much time and money has been ex-
pended investigating and studying
the green pea market? There may
be splendid market for all the gree
peas that can be grown in the Kenne-
wick district, but the fact that last
year few acres of peas were mar
keted at very satisfactory prices by
no means establishes the fact that
many acres this year, and more acres
next year, can be marketed profit
ably. The real fact is that we don't
know that there is a market for
green peas,swe are just hoping that
there will be-hoping it will continue
to rain and there will be a big de-
mand for rain coats and umbrellas.
Just hoping has cost this district
lot of money.
Last year some excellent results
were obtained in an experimental way
with sweet potatoes. This year the
experiment is to be enlarged. The
Commercial club has purchased
ton of seed potatoes and distributed
them among the farmers. This year
the harvest will be from several acres
instead of few patches. The State
College is going to cooperate and its
experts are going to help the farm
ers in their experiments. This paper
is Of the opinion that by the end of
the year it will have been pretty def
initely demonstrated that sweet pota-
toes can be successfully grown here,
insofar as production is concerned.
But after the spuds have been
grown. What are we going to do with

OPERA ION
CAME TOO
LATE
Fred ShalIcross Hid Real Con-
dition at HospitaI-Wanted
to Swim and Play Ball

Headstrong determination Of
fourteen-year-old Fred Shallcross,
inmate of the Industrial Home
School, who died following an
operation for acute mastoiditis
at the Episcopal Eye, Ear and
Throat Hospital Sunday after
noon, to minimize his illness, and
answer the lure Of the baseball
diamond and swimming pool at
the home, was responsible for his
death rather than neglect on the
part of officials of the home, or
physicians at the hospital, it was
contended today at the District
Building.
Officials Deny Blame.
Results of an exhaustive investi.
cation into the untimely death Of
the boy which yesterday provoked
the mother, Mrs. Ethel Shallcross
Barron, 211 Sixth street southwest,
to visit the headquarters Of the
Board of Children's Guardians at
the District building, and heatedly
upbraid them for alleged mis-
treatment and lack of treatment
of her son, were made public this
afternoon by j. e. Stuart, agent of
the board, and w. w. MILAN, presi.
dent of the board.
r Agent Stuart today voiced the ron.
Viction that young Shallcross' ,lea:h
could not have been prevented, and
that none OF the persons who
handled his case are in any way
to blame.
fastened to Hospital.
Agent Stuart pointed out that the
lad was regularly taken to the clinic
at the Episcopal Eye, Ear and
Throat Hospital and that on Tues
day last physicians at the clinic ad-
vised the officials at the home to
continue the same treatment they
had in the past. He was told to
come again Friday last.
Friday morning, however" Mr..
Stuart continues in his statement
the boy was stricken with very
acute mastoiditis and he was taken
to the hospital as soon as an am
DuldnC0 COuIu De ODLdlHeu LOR0Cner
with the written permission of the
mother.
Further contention is made by
Agent Stuart that a married sister
of the youth, Mrs. Dolly Burbage,
140 e street southeast, voluntarily
called the board yesterday and said
she regretted the attitude taken
by her mother and assured the of.
ficials that it was her honest
opinion that the boy was taken
care of properly both at the home
and at the hospital.
The theory is advanced that 1t is
probable that the boy was suffer
ing more than he would admit, in
as much as he chaffed at the at.
tentions of the nurse, and desired
to play baseball and go swimming.
Had he advised the officials of the
home Of his true condition before
he did, it is barely possible that
the operation might have been sue.

Tribute To Father.
An almost forgotten, proponent of
the ideals Of peace in the United
States-Dr. Albert Gobat-was re.
membered by his daughter in the
services today.
Twenty years ago. DIR. Gobat,
member of the Swiss parliament
and winner Of the 1902 Nobel Peace
Prize, came to the United States to
attend the Interparliamentary Con-
ference on Arbitration in st. Louis.
His daughter, who read the tribute
to his memory today, accompanied
him.
ut was my fathers idea," said
Mile. Gobat. that at that time
world peace could only be achieved
by reconciliation of France and
Germany through the liberation
OF Alsace.Lorraine.
He thought thar Germany should
grant autonomy to the conquered
territories of the war of 1870, and
convened a conference on the sub
Ject which brought to Berne promi-
nent pacifists and politicians from
France and Germany"
DR.. Gobat handed down to his
daughter, his ideals, and she is at
tending the peace congress, as a
delegate from Switzerland.
