POSTING ROAD SIGNS

F. A. English and H. e. Robinson
drove up to Beverly Tuesday to
post some road signs. The posting
of these signs is a much needed
work. The possible Priest Rapids
development is attracting many visi-
tors to this district and complaints
are heard constantly of the dearth
Of White Bluffs road signs. Every
main highway for distance of 20
or 30 miles should be posted at every
cross-road to direct the travellers
unfamiliar with the roads.

SEASON OPENS SUNDAY

When the umpire says "Play Ball"
next Sunday the Strawberry League
will be officially opened and White
Bluffs will make It's bow into league
ball. White Bluffs opens at home
against Hanford. The other clubs in
the league are Richland, Kennew;ck,
Pasco and Connell.
The local club has not had a great
deal of practise and there is still
room for a lot of improvement. But
there are a number of likely looking
prospects and before the season Is
very old the town has the possibility
Of a very good club.
The probable lineup Sunday will
be Otto Swanson, pitcher; Bart
Montgomery, catcher; Franklin Bey-
ers, first; Rod Knaub. second; Verne
Zerwekh, short; and H. M. Morford,
third. Hedge Swanson, ALVIN Barge
and Charles English will cavort in the
outfield.
Considerable work has been done
on the grounds and If the weather
is at all nice the opening game
Sunday promises to draw record
crowd.

ROAD MEETING MONDAY

County Commissioner Robert Pri-
or has called meeting of the resi-
dents of White Bluffs and Hanford
to be held in the Community hall
at Hanford on Monday evening,
April 18th, at 8 o'clock. to discuss
a petition filed with the county
commissioners by Sun1yside road
enthusiasts ask z for the creation
OF an independent highway district
in the northern part of Benton
county for the construction Of a
Pittnan highway or highways, one
of which would lead from the Col
umbia river thru the northwestern
part Of Benton county toward Sun.
nyside. The petition is drawn up
in an attempt to comply with law
passed by the 1917 legislature and
operates something in the nature of
the Donahue road law. except that
more territory can be included in
the district. All of the land in
the district would be subject to
special tax for the construction of
highways within its boundaries.
The question is enc that interests
every one IN this part of the county
and 1t is hoped that there will be
good turnout at the meeting Mon
day night to learn more about what
the creation Of such a district
would involve.

In one of the best baseball games
of the season in this city, the No
gales Internationals defeated Bis
bee 8 to 2 yesterday afternoon at
the high school grounds.
Neither side scored until tne
fourth inning when Bisbee brought
in two runs. Nogales, in the sec
ond half Of the fourth tied the
score, and in the sixth broke the
tie.
The hitting of Arzate was one OF
the main features Of the game.
In four times at bat he got two
two-baggers and single. The
outstanding play occurred in the
fifth inning when Pereyra, out IN
left field, threw Maui out at
homeplate.
Three pitchers took part, Flock
and Baugh for Bisbee, and Whip
ple for Nogales. All pitched good
ball, Whipple pitched remark
able game using his head every
minute. Baugh relieved Flock in

Each club made three errors but
they were not costly ones.
Yesterdays game was further
proof that if Nogales does not get
back into the state league, local
fans will not be denied good, close
contests. AS long as teams of the
caliber of Bisbee are brought here
lovers of baseball will see good
games whether Nogales is in the
league or out. The so-called
"bush" game yesterday far out
classed ninety-nine per cent of the
league games played here this
year.

Would You Prefer
the Poorhouse or
Pension In OldAge

Suppose you were an old man un-
able to find work, with no friends in
a position to support you, would you
rather go to the county pOorhouse
or get a pension from the state which
you might suppliment by occasional
odd jobs and so support yourself?
Don't think the question is impertin-
ent. Unemployment, illness, loss of
savings or lack of opportunity ever
to save, the death of relatives-theSe
and many other factors have compell-
ed men and women as self-respecting
as you, who in their day have given
honest toll to society, to go to the
poorhouse. We all of US know that
they or we in like circumstances a
hundred times over would have chos-
en- an old age pension.
The Pennsylvania Commission on
Old Age Assistance in it's extremely
valuable and well-written report
points out that the State also would
profit by modern, old-age assistance
law. Pennsylvania in 1922 spent
some $6,200,000 on her almshouses.
Of this, only about half went to the
upkeep of the inmates. The rest went
to paying people to look after them.
The Old Age Assistance Law would
require at most an expenditure Of
about sc on administrative expense.
The $5,O0O,000 the Commission asked
for would take care of three times
the number of persons now cared for
in Pennsylvania almshouses.
Unfortunately, after the prepara-
ton of this report, the highest court
in Pennsylvania declared the admir-
able Pennsylvania law unconstitution
al on the basis of a provision forbid
ding appropriations "for charitable,
educational or benevolent purposes to
any person or community" (The
judges never found the same provis-
ion an insurmountable barrier to their
own retiring pensions.( There is
nothing for it in Pennsylvania but a
constitutional amendment Other
states similarly handicapped should
take up this matter promptly. When
even the Tory Party in England en-
dorses an elaborate scheme for old
age pensions, it is time for America
to wake up.

Modern Bath Tubs
and the Plumbers
Labor Department Survey Show
Skilled Trades as Advance
Agents of Civilization

Statistics ordinarily make dry read
ing in newspapers, but when it is au-
thoritatively stated that in 1850 there
were only 81 plumbers for each
100000 population in the United
States you can readily understand
how and when there came into vogue
the family rule limiting baths to Sat
urday night or Sunday morning.
Today we have approximately 1000
plumbers for each million of popula-
tion and there are sufficient bath
tubs in general use for every mem
Der of the family to "take wash"
each day in the week, if found neces-
sary.
These figures are CLEANED from the
Monthly Labor Review, issued by the
United States Department Of Labor,
and give evidence that the much
maligned union plumber has been one
of the nations greatest advance
agents of civilization and of health.
Other interesting items of the COM
pilation made by the Department of
Labor are that the relation between
clergymen and population has re-
mained about stationary during the
past rs wears, as is also the case with
lawyers and judges. That is, the
proportion engaged in these vocations
for a million population is about the
same as in 1850.
Perhaps you have wondered why it
is ofttimes difficult to get doctor
when most needed. There were 1,757
physicians and surgeons for each
million population in 1850, as COM
pared with 1872 in 1920, when the
last census was taken.
On the other hand, dentists have
increased from 1926 for each million
population in 1850 to 531 in 1920.
Skilled trades, says Mr.. M. z.
Jones of the Bureau of Labor Stats
tics in the Review, are keeping step
with modern industrial advances, and
many new trades have arisen through
the introduction of machinery. Some
of the old hand crafts have lost out,
he says, but large part of the ma
chinery used in manufacturing estab-
lishments require operators more
skilled than the hand employees whom
the machine has displaced.

IF THE SUN SHOULD
EXPLODE

Just imagine the biggest possible
thing absolutely, regardless of near
ness or fairness if the sun were one
solid mass of dynamite, and it should
suddenly explode, annihilating all its
planets, and leaving our earth scarce
ly a spark in the tremendous blast,
that would be about the limit of poss-
ibility. Nobody would survive to re-
port it, of course, but the story it.
self, if it were reportable, would be
the biggest thing that ever "broke. 4"
Well, just that did happen-not ex-
actly the other day, but as near to it
as the speed of light could carry the
news. In the constellation of Pictor,
in the southern skies, brilliant star
bright as the North Star, suddenly
appeared where none had been visible
before. Of course, that means some
tremendous cosmic catastrophe, quad
rillions of miles away, which must
have wiped out whole solar system,
with its worlds, Inhabited or unihnab-
tied, in flash. Naturally, nobody is
excited. 1t is too far away.
But in the perspective of the Alb
solute, something happened-some-
thing of the sort does happen every
few years-a billion times bigger
than all the events of earth and it's
sister planets since the day of their
birth. Measured by that standard,
We are less than microbes on a speak
of star-dust.
