VOTE TO KEEP
CANT EXCHANGE
Cantaloupe Growers Be
lieve Cooperative Market
ing Has Been Success

There is little doubt but that the
Central Washington Cantaloupe Ex-
change which includes territory from
Wapato to Pasco with headquarters
in Kennewick, will be continued as
permanent organization.
The exchange was organized this
year on a 5-year contract similar
to that used by the Three Rivers
Growers but with the understanding
that the organization might be dis
continued at the end of the season
At a meeting in Grandview Tuesday
evening the central board, made up
of representatives from the several
districts voted unanimously to con-
tinue the organization.
Lee M. Lampson, who is manager
of the exchange, stated today that q
campaign will be made during the
winter months to increase the mem
bership for next years operations.
The exchange will wage vigorous
campaign to secure standardization
of cantaloupes offered for sale. AT
the present time there is no state
grades or compulsory inspection. The
exchange has appointed Legislative
committee to request the department
of agriculture to sponsor a bill at
the next session of the legislature
to require inspection of cantaloupes
the same as fruits.
At a meeting the directors of the
Three Rivers Growers this week a
complete audit of the books was or
dered and A. C. Adams, of Spokane
was engaged to make the audit. The
state Cooperative marketing act re-
quires the state to make an audit
of all associations doing an annual
business of 100000 or more. The
Three Rivers Growers business is less
than this amount but the directors
and the manager believe that the
membership is entitled to the audit
and they are doing it voluntarily. The
same auditor will check the books Of
the Cantaloupe exchange.

SPEAKS FOR
LAFOLLETTE
Seattle Attorney Addresses
Large Audience in High
School Assembly

The series of LaFollette meetings
held in this end of the county with
Charles M. Baxter, Seattle attorney,
and Knute Hill, of Prosser, farmer
labor candidate for congress, as the
speakers, were well attended. The raj
lies were concluded Monday night
when Baxter addressed a large au-
dience.
The crowd, which turned out to
hear Mr.. Baxter here Saturday night
proved too large for the Commercial
club rooms and the high school as
sembly room was secured for the oc-
casion.
In his talk, Mr.. Baxter declared
that Senator LaFollettet is not the
railroad demagogue that he is painted
by his political antagonists but .
constructive statesman whose life has
been devoted to fighting for the
rights of the common people against
the predatory interests.
He defended LaFollette's war rec
ord and declared that while the SEN
ator from the very first questioned
the avisibility Of the United States
entering the war he was in no sense
disloyal. He charged that the i'm
peachment proceedings brot against
the senator was prompted by q de-
sire to get rid of him because he
had proposed taxation measure
which, had it been enacted, would
have paid for the entire cost Of the
war out Of the excess profits of the
war profiteers. He said that Sena-
tor LaFollette had been misquoted in
his famous st. Paul speech which
was made the basis of the impeach-
ment proceedings, and that months
later the Associated Press admitted
it had misquoted him and the senate
voted him $1,000 as reimbursement
for the expense he had been out TO
defend the action.
Mr.. Baxter declared the war had
been started by the munition makers,
bankers and other profiteers and
that the same crowd declared the
armistice before the war was really
finished so that the seed of another
war might be sown.
The speaker led at length from the

sell the place. Two signs "For Sale"
and "Keep Out" are still posted on
the front gate.
Saturday evening, Thomas Burrill
asked Lane to rent the place. He was
told several deals were underway
and told to inquire later. Sunday
evening Thomas Burrill called at the
Lane home to again ask about rent
ing his former home. Mr.. Lane was
attending church and Burrill went
away.
The Burrill brothers were in the
crowd that watched the fire devour
the last part of their old home.

Irrigation District Bonds Sell at Par for First Time
HALF MILLION /
DEAL SHOWSI. Y.
in HIGH REPUTE
Doubly Remarkable Be
cause of the General i
Depression

For the first time in the history
of the Imperial Irrigation District
the bonds have sold at par. In
comparatively few instances in the
history Of irrigated districts on
this continent has such a desirable
consummation resulted when drain
age bonds have been Offered for
sale, and it speaks volumes for the
high opinion that financial houses
have of the security offered by
the fertile acres Of the valley.
The board of directors in session,
Yesterday afternoon approved OF
the sale of $500,000 six per cent.
bonds of the Imperial IrrigatioH
District of the issue of 1922, Of the
denomination of $1,000 each to &.
+. Seidel, on behalf of the FIRST
Securities Company, Los AngcieA,
Anglo London Paris Company, San
Francisco and Rutter and Company,
New York.
Congratulations have been forth-
coming to the officials and the
members of the board, as the price
indubitably places the bonds in the
front rank of gilt edged securities.
1t will, in the opinion Of the pres
ident of the board, Earl G. Pound
do more to turn the attention of
i Investors to the soundness of all
issues of the districEs than all the
publicity sent forth from the Of
fices of the district.
