In Fair Association Contest

With Mrs. c. J. Abrams already announced as
the entry from the Spokane Woman's Club and
with several other organizations planning to enter

summer programs of several womens groups.
The prize contest provides cash prizes of $1,000
to persons selling the largest number of advance

major prize for the contestant selling the largest
number, with $500 for the second, 500 for the
third, two prizes of $50 each for the fourth and
fifth, and prizes of $50 each for the next five.
The contest is open to anyone m the Inland
Empire and while entries must be made as in
dividuas, the contestants may represent any
ganization desired, and prize money captured may
be turned over to the organization if desired
With this in mind and with the idea of adding
to its new building fund, the Spokane Woman's
Club has announced the candidacy of Mrs. c. j.
Abrams of Hillyard, and has placed at her disposal
the clubs ways and means committee and u special
contest committee.
While the Daughters of Isabella have not an

to enter the contest, and member of the legion
auxiliary will be named candidate. A. A.
Kelly, Jr., named to head committee to secure
the cooperation of the auxiliary and to secure the
name of the woman to represent that organization

opportunity to add to their treasures, to their
charity funds, by backing the candidacy of
Der, and turning the prize money, in case she
is winner, to the organization said President
Thomas S. Griffith.

DEBATE - Lulu Lampson

Monday evening the debate team of K. H. S.
defeated Prosser team. This was the second
of the series of state debats. The question de-
bated was Resolved, that the president and
vice president Of the United States should be
elected for single term of six years. Kenne-
wick upheld the affirmative side of the question.
Lulu Lampson the first speaker of K.H.S. pre-
sented the evils of our present system. Harold
Nelson the second speaker of the affirmative
offered the six year term as remedy for the
penter, our third speaker showed additional ad-
vantages to be gained from the proposed change.
This is question that confronts the people
very frequently and the discussions are well
worth hearing. The debate team has worked
hard but they have felt a lack of support from
the public. Debate is high school function
as well as athletics and should be supported
on the same basis.

that stock purchased thru this
source will give good results if
given proper care.
We do feel that at the present
price of certified seed stock that
growers of potatoes should not
hesitate to put a small additional
sum into certified seed.
For fear that there are some
who do not understand just what
certified seed is, we will state
briefly that this product is grown

state department of agriculture.
the fields being inspected twice
during the growing season and the
seed being inspected once after
digging. Only seed from fields
where very small percentage of
mosaic and kindred diseases are
present can be certified by the
state department. Mosaic and kin
dred diseases such as leaf roll, leaf
curl, and spindle tubar etc. are the
diseases which bring about mark
ed decrease in the yield and pro-
duce what is known as the running
ont of potatoes. The only way in
which these diseases can be elm
mated is thru seed selection. Seed
treatment is just waste of mon
ey in any attempt at control. On
the other hand the fact thai the
seed is certified does not mean
that the seed should not be treat
ed for other diseases such as rhi-
zoctonia, scab, and black leg.
Certified seed should be a very
profitable investment for the pota-
to grower and we would encourage
potato growers to at least secure
small lot and try out along side
of ordinary stock and check re-
suits for themselves.

the fellow before him. One at time they clear

Thus it continued for several days and thus

back plus some good poppy new material.
The Kennewick team has not yet been chosen
