SNOW COVERS VALLEY
WITH WHITE BLANKET

The cold spell of last week was
broken last Saturday when the weather
moderated and the mlloer temperature
was accompanied by sncw fall Sat
urday night of five inches in this val ey
and this ia l was increased by i. e
amount Sunday night which left
ten inch blanket of snow on the
ground. The weather since has been
cloudy and foggy and there has been
sLme slcet and rain en- the snow.
The snowfall was general all over
Eastern Washington and Oregon and
in Idaho and Montana. The fall in
this valley was probably as light as
in any place in tile state, there being
two to two and half feet at Ritz
vile, thrce feet at Spokane and even
deero: in Idaho and Montana, ac-
cording to reports.
The snow is dry and powdery but
as there has been no wind it has not
t'rifted. Travel was somewhat difficult
Sunday and Monday while trails were
being broken but not materially slowed
up. The mail stage from Kennewick
arrived on time Monday but was a
little late Tuesday because the rain and
sleet that fell Monday evening made
the roads slippery.
The road crew of White Bluffs
used snow plow the first of th'e.
week to clear the snow on the school
and rural mail routes and the main
streets in town, which made the ira
yelling much easier.

THE 13 MONTH YEAR

If Moses Cctswcrth has his way,
the world may waAe up five years
from tomorrow to discover that a
new menth has been added to the
year, and that instead of having to
pay the bills IL times curing the per-
iod between January and .ne last
of Decemba:, father will have to
shell out 13 times, says a recent
Associated Press dispatch.
Cotsworth who has spent upwards
of 40 years in the work of calendar
reform, confidently predicts that a
revised calendar will go into effect
in 1888, and that decision to do SO
will be reached by an international
conference to be called by the league
of nations in 1928 or 1929.
Briefly the calendar which Cots
worth advocates after years Of study
and consultation with experts
throughout the world would provide
a year of 13 months of % days each,
every month starting on a Sunday
ard endine on a Saturday. Every
date would fall on the same day
every year. The extra day needed
beyond the 13 months to fill the
year would be dated December 2e and
named Year Day. In leap years leap
cay, universal holiday, would be
inserted at the end of June. The
extra month would be known as Sol
and come between June and July.
The year 1888 lends itself to the
change because it commences ard
ends on a Sunday. Cotsworth asserts
his plan has been endorsed by large
number of organizations.

AoLDUP STORY WAS A DuD

What promised at first to be an
exciting hola-up story in the valley
Sunday night lost much of its inter
est Monday when all of the facts be-
came known and the holdup turned
out to be just little family dispute.
DR.. Hills was called to Hanford abont
2 o'clock Sunday night to dress the
wounds Of Tony Momolite, an Italian
living near there. He lad several cuts
about the head that were bleeding
badly and that required several
stitches to draw the scalp back into
plad.. Momolite told DR.. Hills that
he had been attacked on his way
from his home into Hanford about
10 o'clock that evening and robbed
of Sis.
The "holdup" story was circulat-
ed around Monday morning and as
there were some circumstances in
connection with the case that were
little suspicious, Deputy Sheriff Clate
Crewen called up Sheriff James Sher-
herd at Prosser and the sheriff decid-
ed to come over and investigate. After
going over the ground where the hold
up was supposed to have taken plac.
and an hour or two of close question
ing. he secured an admission that the
"holdup" was a hoax and that the
wounds OF, M molite's head were
caused by Ratchet welded by Mrs.
Momolite as the climax of family
DISPUTE. After securing this adnnis-
rim. the sheriff warmed them that
they would have to settle their dis
agreements in less violent manner
AMI promised stat if they did not heed
this warning, official action of some.
kird would be necessary. And all is
calm end peaceful again and our nice
little holdup story is all blooey.

MAY Be A BLESSING

That the spray residue removal
problem may be blessing in disguise,
is the idea advanced by Dean E. C.
Johnson, head of the college Of agri-
culture at the State College.
"The cleanest, best packed and most
attractive apples ever sold in Wash
ington have been placed on the market
this year." he contends. ut is prcb-
able, therefore, that the apple industry
Of the northwest will find the spray
residue removal in pIaos' of being a
serious handicap to the industry, is
an insurance of attractiveness and
quality in the fruit which will stim-
ulate demand tc such an extent that
the cost of operation will be an
investment, not liability.
In line with TIL, aim and purpose of
til, agricultural experiment STATEN to
devote time and effort to those prob
lens most pressing the removal OF
spray residue from apples has received
more attention during the year than
any other singh, L:oblem, cereals
perhaps excepted"

For example, the fourth word OF

Now the conjurer announces

He then tells the boy or girl hold

Select the word. Multiply the

this result add twenty-five and
the number of the line containing
the selected word. Multiply that
answer by ten and add the num-
Der of the word to that answer.
The magician must then ask what
the total number is, and all he will
have to do is subtract $50 from
that figure and the answer will
give him a clue.
The last figure in the number
will be the number of the word,
