There is probably not a business
man in this entire territory who
wouldn't like to clear 1896 in the
next few weeks. Certain it is that
the average man and the man
above the average is not picking
up over $500 a month these days.
Yet the Kennewick Courier-Re-
porter is putting up $4,000 in cash
and cars to be given away In a
few short weeks for the man or
woman who will make some effort
to help themselves.
There is over $500 a month in
it these next few weeks for the
man or woman who will go out
and do. There is 1895 in it for you.
There are two big. costly cars and
hundreds of dollars in cash. Then
after all that there is the cash
commission for every active can
didate who does not win one of the
big prizes.
You absolutely can not lose.
Big Enough for You
If you were approached with a
proposition that stood you to make
1895 in the next few weeks you
would stop short and think, would
you not? 1t doesn't make any diff
ference how big you are. The big
ger you are the more you will
pause. You would hear the propo-
sition. You would consider it. If at
all reasonable you would take it.
Right now, in these times. when
men are thinking of the necessity
for getting money. when men are
trying to increase their income,
$685. is a sum that is to be de-
sired no matter who you are.
Campaign Just Opened
The Kennewick Courier-Report-
er Everybody Wins" campaign,
has just opened. There ought to
be at least as many active candi-
dates as there are prizes. There
ought to be more persons entered
who know what S895 represents,
who have an idea of how really
big it is in these days of readjust-
ment.
Not Yet Under Way
The Everybody Wins" cam
paign is big enough to interest
the very biggest men and women
in this territory. But what has
been the result everyone has been
expecting everyone is in and no
one gets IN. Everyone expects ev-
eryone else has million subscrip-
tions. and no one has any.
Work in Spare Time
Very little is required of you to
win. You have the time. plenty of
it. An hour day spent among the
neighbors and friends for the
Courier-Reporter is sufficient to
win the biggest gifts in the list.
You have the time. Really, your
spare time-a few minutes of an
evenings worth more to you
these next few weeks than any
full time employment you could
get. Yet it is but side issue
a spare time proposition, nothing
more. There is no sentiment about
1T. To earn money honorably is de-
sirable. The money and the big
handsome Essex Super 6 or Chev.
rolet coach are now provided. They
are here for you.
You Cannot Lose
You cannot lose. You are paid
for every minute of your time.
Every active non-gift winner is
given an absolute guarantee that
he or she will be paid for his or
her t!me-you participate in the
commission feature if you fail to
land one of the big gifts. That in
Itself. Is a good business PROPOSE
tion: We all have spare moments
after work that we can turn into
There is one thing, tho. that is
certain. There is absolutely no way

WATCH THE
VARIATIONS
Growers S h ould Check
Up on Temperatures
as Forecasted

Because of a marked: variation
in temperature in the same local.
ity the forecasting of minimum
temperatures for large areas is
impossible. 1t is a well known fact
among orchardists that the tenn
perature is not always the same
in all parts of the orchard. Some
times there is a considerable diff
ference in temperature between
the ends of the same grove.
For this rason a station repre-
sentative of the coldest section in
each section is chosen and desig-
mated as the key or forecast sta
tion. When a definite minimum
temperature is stated in the fore
cast it means that that tempera-
ture is the lowest expected to be
recorded by the thermometer in
the key station shelter.
The differences in temperature
between different points is usually
about the same. There will only be
slight variation from time to
ference betwee nthe various sta
time. The proper use of the fore
casts is to secure them every day
and determine the average depart
ure from the minimum recorded
on. carefully tested and properly
sheltered thermometer in your or
chard.
The temperature survey stations
located throughout the district
bear out the regularity of the diff
tions. Growers may find it helpful
to compare the temperature in
their orchard with those recorded
in a nearby weather bureau sur
vey station.

The Kenne@ici1 chapter OAR.
is pleased with the response to
its request for genealogical rec
ords Of pioneers: Instead of being
pioneers of 1p02A3, many of Ken
newick's citizens are of the third
generation of pioneers, descendants
of the "forty-niners" and covered

the chapter that all who are Of
the pioneer stock will report that
fact to the chairman. Miss Ida
Perry, who will furnish papers for
the record Of such lineage.

TWO FACTIONS
IN LIN EU P
Writer Sees Opposition
Ticket - Politics is
Feature of Session

Politics, rather than legislation.
was the chief output of the 1927
legislature, which quit a week ago
after 81 days of artful maneuver-
ing, and it is now certain that the
1928 primary will see a bitter
clash between the two dominant
factions of the republican party.
The sdeveloping plans, carefully
laid and promoted during the leg
islature, promise two complete
tickets in the next primary, says
The Courier Reporter correspond
ent.
1t may be regarded as certain
as certain as anything can be in
politics Gov. Hartley twill
run again, and that he will have
a down-the-line Hartley ticket in
the field. just who will top the
opposing ticket is still question,
of course, but it would not be sur
prising if time and pressure con-
spire to o'cause Lieutenant Governor
Lon Johnson to drop his eyes from
the. United States senate and turn
to head the other ticket as can
didate for governor.
This prospect grows because the
republican party can not continue
half pro-Hartley and half anti
Hartley, and the legislative ses-
sion failed to mend or soften the
functional lines and feelings. In
fact, the legislature deepened and
embittered the old fight. The alb
sence of noise, as compared with
the 1926 special session, may have
misled those on the outside who
are tired of squabbling and long
for harmony, but those on hand
could see and feel steady deep
ening of the old resentments, dis
likes and provocations. It seems
that the political gods have de-
creed that the two factions must
fight it out until one faction be-
comes supreme, or, perhaps, until
they kill off each other.
There were enough frank moves
during the legislature to prove
that neither group overlooked an
opportunity to strengthen ABelf
or weaken the other. Both sides
played politics, pulling back only
in fear of offending public opin-
ion. And it is safe to say Both
sides will continue playing poll
tics through the months ahead,
but rather subtlely, because the
leaders are aware that most of the
people are pretty much jaded on
politics.
Backers of Mr.. Hartley realize
that he has been unable to put
over his program, or to gain COM
plete control. In 1926 he was
blocked by the senate and house.
| This time he won the house but
was blocked by the senate. Be
tween sessions, when an admins
tration is depended upon to show
its stuff, the governor has been
restrained by the elective state
officers, because every committee
or board of any Importance car
ries two elective officers and the
governor. Therefore, the Hartley
people feel that they must put a
full ticket into the 1928 primary
to gain control of the committees
and boards, as well as to clean

of which roughly fitted the hand.
Sometime before the dawn of history
the device of increasing the power of
the hammer by putting a handle on
the stone was discovered. Half the

Everyday Law Cases

Based Only on Moral
Consideration?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Steve Cook, 90 years old. left his
home to establish himself in another
city. Without a position and with
little funds, Steve fell sick. His land
lady undertook to care for him. en-
gaging medical services for him and
giving him board and lodging.
II was three weeks before Cook 8
benefactress wrote to his father. ex-
planning the situation and informing
him that she had expended $75 for
his Doctors bills and his board. Cook 3
father replied, thanking her for her
services and promising to send the
money to her.
But Cooks father neglected to pay
the bill to the landlady and, her pa.
tience being exhausted, she brought
suit for the amount. SteVe's father
defended himself at the trial, stating
that his son was of full age and that
he, therefore. was not liable for his
support. His promise to pay was
accordingly without consideration and
consequently unenforceable.
The court decided the landlady could
not recover. stating:
"It is now we'll settled that mere
moral obligation or conscientious duty
arising wholly from ethical motives
or mere conscientious duty, uncon.
nected with any legal obligation or
with the receipt of benefit by the
promisor of a material or pecuniary
nature. will not furnish a sufficient
