SAYS CHILDREN'S HEALTH
here BEST IN STATE

Children of the White Bluffs Han
ford district are in the best physical
shape of anyt in the state, declared
Dt L. G. Spaulding, county healti,
officer, in an address before the
Kiwanis luncheon in Kennewick last
week. DR.. Spaudling said that he
had examined practically every school
child in the entire county, outside
of the city of Kennewick, and that
the children of the Priest Rapids
valley averaged up better than any.
DR.. Spaulding in his address en-
phasized the importance of giving
the school children the proper start
in life by seeing to it that their
pt1yeical standards were as high as
1t was possible to make them. He
said that after six years Of holding
baby clinics in this valley he had
raised the standard here through the
constant cooperation of parents and
school authorities, until there are at
the present time but two families in
the entire district, whose children
need physical attention.
Contrasted to this district, DIR.
Spaulding said that some of the
other districts in the county had
children whose physical condition was
appalling.
He suggested that the various clubs
of the county cooperate with the
county nurse, the health boards and
the shool authorities in educating
the children and their parents to the
necessity of higher physical stand
ards. He stated that he knew of
children in the Kennewick district,
who, thru a lack of knowledge on
the part of the parents, were under
clothed, undornourished and unfit
physically to start their years of
schooling.
In his opinion special attention
should be given eyes, teeth and tom
sils and diet of the children of pre-
school age. With a proper start
physically the child will develop
mentally without undue strain.

the LITTLE BROWN CHURCH

Most every one has read the poem
of Doctor W. A., Pitt, "The Little
Brown Church in the Vale," but not
every one knows, however that such
a church really exists. The church
which furnished the inspiration to
DR.. Pitt, is located near Elgin, Iowa,
the old home Of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
/. Badger of White Bluffs. The
popularity that the little church is
now enjoying is shown in the fol-
lowing article published in the Ma
shua, Iowa, Reporter and handed to
the Spokesman by Mrs. Badger:
| "The Little Brown Church in the
Vale, Nashua's historic house of wor-
ship, established new record in 1926
with 26,oC0 names of visitors in
scribed on its registers, and 429 mar
riages solernnized before its altar.
''The number of wedding cererno-
nies performed in the little church ex-
ceeded by al the number performed
in 1925, and more than double the
number Of any preceding year. As
high as seventeen weddings were
solemnized in the church in one day,
and from six to a dozen day was
not unusual during the month of
June. The couples came from almost
every state in the Union to plight
their troth in this historic little house
of worship.
more than $4,000 visitors signed
the church register during the year,
and it is estimated that third as
many more visited the church and did
not sign the register. The register
shows that the visitors came from
almost every state in the Union, from
Canada, and several foreign countries.
"All wedding ceremonies are made
as sacred and impressive as possible.
All services are strictly of sacred
and religious nature, and an attempt
is continually made to have visitors
carry away an impression of quiet
riess, order and devotion.
"The building is kept in good repair,
is preserved in its original and prini.
tive condition, and the grounds are
kept neat and orderly and inviting to
visitors, who are always heartily well
coined. AS shrine the Little Brown
church speaks message of continual
inspiration, and many visitors state
that the little church carries to them
feeling of deep reverence and solem-.
nifty; they also express appreciation OF
the courteous and friendly treatment
extended to them by the pastor Of the
church, the church officials, and the
people of the community in general.
"The finances of the church are in
excellent condition, as shown by the
treasurer's report. Almost $3.50 was
received from the sale of souvenirs to
visitors, and $2,137.50 was realized
from weddings, a fee, of SIS being
charged for each service.
"An item in the expense column
that is significant is the payment OF
note of $500 to the Congregational
Church Building society. This note
was given by the builders of the
church in 1864, and has run for sixty
two years.. The society issued the
note without interest, and probably
had long since considered the pay
ment of it void, but the trustees, now
that the church is prospering, were
only too glad to cancel the old debt,
and hope that the money may help
some other struggling church"

BAND PLAYS At FAIR

Fourteen members Of the White
Bluffs Band drove down to Kenne-
wick last Saturday and with eight
players from the Pasco organization
made up band that furnished music
for the Fair at Kennewick. Inter-
mittent showers that fell throughout
the day took the starch out of the
Fair and made it rather disagreeable
for the band boys, altho they did
succeed in playing couple of hours
in the open and finished by con-
cert in a hall in the evening

MANY cows SIGNED UP
BY MISS GERrRIJpE GAGE

By MISS GEKI.kODE GAGE
Over three thousand of the 5,40o
head of cattle listed on the tax rolls
of this County have at the present
date been signed up for the T. B.
Test. According to the new law
which reads that if a majority of the
/ cows, both beef and dairy, signed up
for this test, quarantine will be
declared and all cows tested, we will
be within few months T. B.. free
County. 1T will then be our duty as
law abiding citizens to see that this
law is enforced and that no cows
without certificates are brought into
our county. Every County that puts
this project over is to be compliment
ed on Its progressiveness. 1t is the
the first step in a County wide health
program. Benton County has long
been advertised as a health haven;
we need to make it So IN every detail.
1t is also economic factor, a County
once cleaned up is not apt to suffer
losses in the future. Outside con-
Germs can not sell diseased animals
which may contanniate mans en-
tire herd. He must either show his
certificate Of test or stay out of a
quarantine area.
In putting over this campaign we
are insuring our families against loss
of health and our pocket books against
loss Of wealth.
This campaign was put over by the
combined efforts Of the County
Grange, local creameries, newspapers
and progressive men in each COM
nnunity cooperating with the County
Extension Service.
While the required number of cat
tie have been obtained at the present
date, it is still not too late to sign
up. The more signatures we have the
better it will look fer s9Es county.
Blanks may be obtained from the
Extension office at Kennewick at
any time either in person or by mail.
It is hoped that the test will be well
under way by Christmas.

A strong sentiment against outlaw
baseball or baseball which will be q
drain on business is prevalent in
Douglas. Supporters of the pro.
