WOMAN'S CLUB NOTES
Bu Mrs. M. S. Meeks

On Wednesday afternoon the Wom-
ans Club met at the home of Mrs. Guy
Stoddard, where very interesting
program was given.
Mrs. %. s. Wilkinson described the
scenic beauty of our national parks,
the greater number of (which are rloca-
ted west of the Mississippi valley and
in our western mountains.
Mrs. r. B. McMurry located the
great forests of the world and told
where the different varieties of wood
grow best. In summing up, she showed
the need of conservation end reforest-
alton. The United States has been
most wasteful and must now replace
it's forests that future generations may
have wood and lumber.
During the business session 1t was
voted that the club hold a Silver Tea
on Saturday afternoon, Februsry 20,
at Liberty Hail. A good program is
being prepared and refreshments will
be served. Several booths will be
open for the sale of baked goods, can
dy, handkerchiefs, flower seeds, peren.
NAL plants and shrubs.
All are cordially invited to come and
spend pleasant afternoon with us.

BIG HEAD LETTUCE
men LOOK US over

A tour and inspection of the Priest
Rapids Valley was made last Sunday
by the owners and field men of w.
M. Watson & Company, of Chicago,
head lettuce growers with gardens
in Minnesota and California. It is
the intention of Watson & Company
to establish additional gardens in the
State of Washington and for some
weeks past their field men have been
looking into the merits of various
localities. this Valley having been
visited previously by one of the
party. A number of local growers
were visited and the possibility of
growing head lettuce commercially
in this locality was considered. Upon
leaving for the coast Sunday evening,
Mr.. Richards, president Of Watson &
Company, expressed the belief that
early Spring and late Fall lettuce
could be grown successfully in the
Priest Rapids Valley. His company
will furnish seed to number of local
growers this Spring for experimental
purposes and the result will be
watched with interest. If the expert
ments are successful, Watson & Com
pany will give serious consideration
to establishing a head lettuce industry
here at some time in the near future.
The party was in charge of Fred M.
We'll of the Agricultural Develop
ment Department OF the Milwaukee
Railroad at Seattle.

move ON TO EMPLOY
A COUNTY AGENT

To enlist the support of the resi-
dents of the White Bluffs district in
their effort to persuade the county
commissioners to employ county
agent for Benton county, delegation
ct Kennewick men composed of ]. r.
Ayers, representating the Finley
Grange; c. c. Williams, representing
the Valley Grange, and P. A. Com
belle, representing the Kennewick
Commercial Club, addressed a meet
ing at Liberty hall in White Bluffs
on Tuesday evening. Because of the
short notice only small crowd was
out. The Kennewick men said that
in their judgment fully ninety per
cent of the farmers in that part of
the country were in favor Of having
county agent and cited number of
reasons for believing that the employ
of such an expert would be of bene-
fit to growers generally in the
country.
Those of the local farmers who ex-
pressed themselves at the close of
the meeting said that if county
agent of the type of Lee M. Lamp
son could be secured he probably
could give some valuable assistance
to growers, but that if such man
could not be found it was doubtful if
much enthusiastic support for a
county agent could be uncovered up
here. Three petitions directed to the
county commissioners and urging the
employment Of county agent were
left with Edmund Anderson for sig
natures of local farmers who are in
favor of such move.
Roy c. Robinson gave a short but
interesting talk on the control Of cod
ling moth, using information he Sc
cured recently at a horticultural
meeting at Wenatchee..

]. C. IN NEW POSITION

]. c. Scott, former project manager
for the state land settlement project
here and who has been engaged in
the insurance business since the land
office was closed here last May, has
entered the employment of the Puget
Sound Power and Light company.
Mr.. Scott has been employed to CO.
operate with farmers, horticulturists,
poultryfnen and other country resi-
dents in the territory served by the
Puget Sound Power and Light COM
pany to assist in the solution of all
problems involving the use of electri-
city in rural communities. He is the
first expert to be employed by any
private company for this purpose
only
Mr.. SCOTS headquarters will be in
the company's offices in Seattle but
it is his intention to vvisit every
part of the company's territory and
to give first hand attention to each
individual problem that may be
brought to his notice. Data so gath
cred will also be available for the
State Committee Of Twenty One APP
pointed at the state college at Pull
man some time ago to study rural
Identification throughout the state.

COMMITTEE ARRIVES

At last the committee that will
tackle the job of adjusting the con-
tracts between the state and the set
tiers on the state land settlement
tracts here, has been appointed. The
committee is made up Of Erie Barnes,
director Of conservation and develop
ment, Andrew Semple of Spokane
and G. ]. Morrison of Colvillc. As
the law creating this commission and
under which it will operate provides
a fund of only $4,000, which is to
cover both cash settlements and the
expenses Of the committee, it would
seem that the question of values will
be the principal one the comnitte
will have to consider.
It is impossible at this time to pre-
dict how long the committee will be
on the job but as there are so odd
settlers, each with a somewhat diff
ferent complaint, it will probably
take some little time. The law fixes
the compensation on $40 per day and
expenses for each Of the two appoint
cd members Of the committee.
The committee arrived in White
Bluffs today, Friday, at noon, to be-
gin work.

REGISTER EVERY a YEARS

The state law rcquircs that all citi-
zcns of the sta'c be registered before
they are entitled to vote. Registra-
ton in the county precincts is for a
four year period while in organized
towns or cities complete new regis
tration must be had every two years.
In this county the cities of Prossser,
Kennewick, and Richland are the only
precincts in which a wholly new reg
istration must be had. If you live in
either of these places you must regis
ter if you wish to vote even though
you were registered at the last cleo
ton. In the country precincts those
who were registered for the last cleo
ton and still maintain residence in the
same place will not have to register.
Should you have moved however into
another precinct a new registration
will be necessary. Better get in touch
with your local registration officer
and find out wheather your name is
on the book or not because If it isn't
you will have no vote coming this fall.

NAY CLOSE HUNTING SEASON

County Game Warden N. H. Pal
mer has probably done more for game
protection and propagation than any
other game warden in the employ Of
the county. During the shooting sea-
son he is on the job from daylight
until after dark and many shooters
after hours or those hunting without
license have felt the heavy hand of the
law as result of his vigilence. Be
sides striving for better enforcement
Of the game laws he has done much
to maintain the supply of upland game
birds. Every year large number Of
pheasant and hun eggs are Matched
under bantam hens which he keeps
for that purpose and raised in runs
on his lots in town. From the time
they are Matched and until they are
old enough to liberate and care for
themselves Nick is kept busy rustling
food for them. He says their favorite
food is ant eggs and almost any time
during the summer he may be seen
securing the countryside with shovel
looking for ant hills from which he
can get meal for the little fellows.
Mr.. Palmer says hunters are get
ting the better of him however and
that unless some method can be de-
viscd for increasing the hatch it will
be necessary to close the season on
rheasants and huns for year or two
and give them chance to catch up.
A game preserve has been formed al
ong the Yakima river near Prosser
and he is working to have created a
game preserve of about two sections
of land about three miles northwest
Of there. There are several county
owned TRACTS of land in that neigh
borhood and it is his plan to plant
wheat, corn, and kaffir corn on those
tracts to furnish food and shelter.
It is thought that the cooperation Of
1.-THE farmers in that neighborhood can
readily be secured for the formation
of game refuge that will form an
ideal meeting place during the sum-
mer and a place of safety during the
hunting season.

This confirms previously ex

ispheres, has been accomplished.
This property was purchased June
/, 1921, at cost of $21O,000, the
two original owners taking back a
second mortgage Of $85. 900; each
owning $42,5OO of same. On June
/, 1926, (5 years from date of pur-
chase) the first and second mort
cages had been reduced by S5S,O0O.
The second mortgage, owned jointly
by the two men holding $4,000
each, had been reduced to $22,50O
each. From the beginning, stock
had been sold at SIS 90 per share to
the members of the fraternity (all
common stock)
On May 26, 1926, the idea was
conceived of the Supreme Lodge buy
ing the remainder Of half of the
second mortgage ($22,5OO) and Sell
ing same. bearing 6 per cent interest,
to the members of the Fraternity in.
such proportions as the members
desired to purchase. On the 18th
day of September, 1926, the entire
amount of $22.500 had been paid in,
notes issued and all transactions
were consummated by Thos. G.
Schuyler. chairman of the Trustee
Board, and Geo E. Gordon, Sup.
Keeper of Records and Seal.
This is believed to be the first in
stance of fraternal organization

osition financially secure.
