mobile prosperity in this state
is peculiarly distributed. There
has been a $4,000 falling of in
dealers licenses and the counties
of Benton, Island, Kitsap, Klicki-

paid in less license money during
1928 than they did for the same
period of last year. On the other
hand Adams and Douglas have
contributed more fees than they
did during all of 1927 and there
are seven months collections yet
to be added. Several other counties
will pass their 1927 totals during
May.

1t is time the burden was shift

enough and our wealth great
enough to sponsor this thing our
selves. We have nothing to lose by
so doing. The advantages vii
come back directly to US.
We must organize a thorough

two plans, first, to prepare ant
distribute literature concerning
the state, and second, to prepare
and place advertising in leading
mage zines throughout the nation.
This organization must be thor

state must be the chief purpose S
there will be no mis-appropriatio
and no waste. Advocates of tn
state publicity campaign favor

RESPECT THE TOURIST

Washington is tourists para
Vdise and we should not over
look our possibilities of making
it even more attractive to the
tourists, by being courteous to
strangers, and catering to their
wishes and comfort. Such a policy
cannot help but improve and de-
velop our state
The tourist will soon come to
your town. When he starts out on
his wanderings he will take with
him $2,5O0,000,000. When he re-
turns to the office in the fall ne
will have left that enormous
amount of money distributed over
the country.
How much he will leave in any
one place depends upon the coun-
try. its scenic beauties and at
fractions. Washington is predomi-
nant in that it has almost every
thing in scenic beauties that can
be desired.
His expenditures will also de
pend upon the kind of treatment
he gets. Many tourists have spent
summers in out-of-way resorts or
towns, possessing no outstanding
scenic advantages, simply because
they have liked the place, and its
people.
Many towns depend almost en-
tirely upon tourist travel for
their support. In addition to pos
sessing natural advantages these
towns have the attributes of at
tracing the tourist. They cater to
his wishes and make his stay
there as pleasant as possible.
Other towns may well follow their
example.
An abundance of tourist travel
in town not only provides an
added source of income, but gives
the town a healthy aspect, which
indicates there is something desir-
able about that town, and this at.
tracts other tourists, some OF
whom become permanent citizens

T'he attention of the people of
= Kennewick and of neighboring
communities is respectfully called
to the law which prohibits bird
dogs from running at large dur
ing the spring and summer
months while the various game
birds are nesting and rearing their
young. Many people are disre-
garding this ruling altogether and
thus, perhaps, doing untold da-
mage to the bird population OF
Benton county.

warns that any bird dog caught
running at large. is liable to be

one of my poor neighbors drove
up in his old delapidated car and
asked to borrow my hoe. I thought
this was peculiar request but
he mumbled something about his
mother in law being there on a
visit and wanted to get caught up
with his work. So he took the hoe
and drove off. About noon he came
back driving a new car loaded
down with groceries; he was
wearing a new suit of clothes
smoking a big cigar. gave me a
drink out of jug, thanked me for
my accommodation and drove
away.
To say that 1 was amazed is to
put it very mildly.
But the next day the same thing
happened again only with a diff
ferent man.
The next day Mr.. Johnson and
another gentleman came out to
talk life insurance to me but l was
busy in the garden and didn't have
time to visit. So in order to give
me chance to think the PROPOSE
tion over Mr.. Johnson volunteered
to hoe in my place while / sat
down and talked insurance. Say
did you ever see that man in ac-
ton? Up the row he went weeds
falling like soldiers before 9
machine gun, true to his aim
never missing a stroke or striking
a plant and when the hoe hi
rock the sparks would fly ano
the distant hills would reverberate
with a clear sweet echoing sound
that would turn Swiss bel
ringers heart green with envy. Be-
lieve me this valley sure lost q

cided to become a banker. 1t re-
minded me of when I was a boy
at home and used to mount cay

rise and surprise a bunch of half
wild grass fat broncos and see
them scamper away with light
springing steps, tails applume

uberance of life.
Well the next morning another
neighbor came up to borrow my
hoe. / was getting about fed uI
on the thing by this time but
always like to help everybody get
everything they want so I con.
scented and went to the house, tt
sharpen up one I kept for the
wife to use.
Imagine my surprise when il

Dear EQlCOr.
Did you ever read that trite
little book called Palouse Philos-
ophy written by the man who dis
covered the world famous Palouse
country?
AS child I had the great good
fortune to sit at the feet of this
learned man and learn first hand
many of the great truths of life.
One of his many sayings is "a
mans hobby shall prove his own
undoing" and I am just beginning
to see how true that is.
Do you happen to have real
live hobby? If so I advise you to
do away with it before it brings
you to grief the same as mine
has done to me. My hobby is
weeds. Yes, sir, just plain every
day weeds. I hate a weed worse
than an Irishman hates snake.
That's one reason / came here to
live. The weeds here grow just
right to suit me. can cut them
all down one day and the next
morning there they are again
just right size to be cut again.
/ tried to live in the Imperial
Valley but there they grow too
fast. went out. in the garden to
hoe and sat down a few minutes
to rest and it took two mexicans
all night to cut me trail so I
could get back to the house.
The last thing the man who
sold me this place said before he
left was that there was some
night shade in the asparagus that
should be removed.
At it / went all day every day
for week just as hard as l could
drive. Hot! Oh boy how / did
sweat. Right in the middle of July.
How / did work only to find out

would tolerate mullen to grow any
where. I worked and sweated ane
grubbed out that patch, stalk ane
root and then in the winter wher
pickings got short / had to wall
three miles down to- one OF my
shiftless neighbors to get muller
leaves to fill my pipe.
