 katie's expressive face fell. She had hoped and. l guessed, had dash ed madly through her work with that incentive-that l would not be through and would delay her clean ing of Mary's room. This would have been triumph indeed-she is about ten years old in her jealousy over her ability to turn out work.
 She stalked sulleniy ahead of me to my room, put the dresses down late face to me.
 "Vot time Meester Graham want dot pink puddng?" she asked.
 I started-for l had forgotten the excuse l had made for sharing in the cleaning.

 l wondered a bit for this never had been her procedure in prepar- ing the pink pudding, dish which always had understood required the constant watchfulness of the cook. But I made no comment, and Katie departed for the kitchen. CO., ing through the double doors which led to her own rooms in the kitchen wing.
 With an impulse I did not stop to analyze. l hurried out of my door, down the front stairs and back to the kitchen where I pretended to busy myself with the small electric iron and the folding ironing board which we keep for pressing. But it was over five minutes before Katie appeared. although her usual rate of progress from the second floor to the kitchen is measured by sec- onds.

 But ] had found no trace what ever of the name, and the only fact l had gleaned from my search of Mary's vast basket was the appar- entIy innocuous one that some one had cut q circular hole in the blot ter which had covered her desk pad.

WENA7CHEE SOUTHERN
PROSPECTS BRIGHTER

When the Milwaukee railroad
shcck eff the shackles of receiver
ship at midnight, January 13, by
order Of the interstate Commerce
Commission, it also blossomed forth
under new name, the Chicago,
Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific
Railway company.
Under the new organization H.. E.
nyram, former president and re-
ceiver, was made chairman CT the
board cf directors, the most power
full office in the railroad.
Some little time will probably be
necessary to get new policies under
way but it is expected that the
building of the Wenatchee Southern
will very likely be one of the first
big constructive jobs undertaken by
the road in the West No official
have been made re-
gairding this work but it has been
known for some time that the Mil
waukse has long desired feeder
into the Wenatchee valley, and with
the former president CT the Union
Pacific system now president of the
Milwaukee there would seem to be
a good chance for the extension ct
this branch from Hanford to Ken
newick to. give the Union Pacific a
direct outlet to Seattle, something
that it does not have at the present

WOMAN'S CLUB NOTES

A number of library books, suit
able for boys and girls of 7th and
9th grade and high school ages,
have been placed in the high school.
1t i Il
There is no charge for the use Of
any of the library hooks but the
library committee finds that in or
der to maintain the circulation Of
books it must strictly enforce the
rules for fines when books are kept
overtime.
Several books have apparently
been mislaid Will the library pa
irons kindly look en- their shelves
for the following books and in case
they are found. return them to the
library: "The French Twins, ;
The Professors House, The
Story of My Life" by Helen Kel-
Ter, and Little Lord Fauntleroy.' =
Some Of the most attractive
books of late fiction in the library
have been very little read. These
may be obtained by calling the
grade school at noon, or by calling
the club secretary. Mrs, F, M

THREE HUNDRED ATTEND
POMONA GRANGE MEET

The Spokesm,t, is indebted to
Mrs. r. D. Sawyer of the Richland
Advocate for the following report Of
the Pomona Grange meeting in Pros
ser last Saturday. County Agent E.
c. Durdle has been made the official
correspondent of the Pomona Grange
but at the time of the Prosser meet
ing was absent in Pullman attending
the annual conference of extension
workers at the State College.
The annual meeting of Benton
County Pomona Grange held in Pros
ser Saturday was attended by delega-
tions from every subordinate organi-
zation in the county as well as by a
number Of members from more dis
tant points, over 800 being present.
The Benton County Pomona Band
from White Bluffs added much to
the enjoyment of the session, being
present during the entire time, and
rendering many lively and inspiring
selections which We're greatly appre-
ciated
A large class was given the third
and fourth degree and about an equal
number the fifth, Leroy l.. Todd of
Benton City acting as installing Of
ficer
A business session took up consid-
erable time both morning and after
noon, the Grange going on record as
in favor OF requesting the county
commissioners, il possible, to set a
side fund for the use Of the various
agents of the extension department
of the State College who are working
for the interest of the people in this
county, as with the money at pres
ent available it is necessary, from
time to time to ask for additional
help from the College, which is be-
lieved to be unfair.
The address of the afternoon ana
evening was delivered by Ira Shea,
Deputy State Grange Master, who
took for his subject various phrases
of Grange work. Mr.. Shea had mes
sage we'll worth attention and as he
is forceful speaker his remarks gave
his audience something to take home
with them for future thought and
consideration. Owing to the long pro-
gram of a social nature in the even-
ing it was necessary for Mr.. Shea to
cut his address short much to the
disappointment or thoae attending.
Installation OF all Grange Officers
of the County organization took place
at this time.
The program was a particularly
fine one and much credit for its ex-
cellence is due to the Music Commit
tee of the Prosser Community Club
who co-operated with the Grange
committee in a whole-hearted man
ner and helped secure some wonder
full talent.

SPECIALISTS TO BE THERE

Both w. D. Buchanan anol Prof
]. c. Corver Of the State College
will be in attendance at the two-day
Jan. 25th and 26th. Mr.. Buchanan
will conduct the work Of the two-day
school at Pasco, unaided, except by
the County Agent. Partly because
Of the heavy schedule which Mr.
Buchanan has and partly because
Of Prof. Corvsr's closer contact with
feeding problems it was felt hest to
schedule beth men at the PrCsssr
school which has come to be the big
poultry school for this section Of the
state.
We are not able to state just at
this time as to which day will b.
taken by Ifof. Corver and which
by Mr.. Buchanan but programs will
be mailed out as soon as possible
giving definite schedule for the var
ious topics.
Another phase Of the work which
we consider Of special Importance is
the addition Of data on farm manage
naent phase of the work. Two lee
lures, The Poultry Outlook for
l9Z6, ard Labor Studies on III
Poultry Farms are topics which
every poultrynan shoulcl attempt to
hear. These lectures have been pre-
pared by r. M. Turner, Specialist
in Farm Management work but will
be given by Mr.. Buchanan. One is
presented with use Of charts and the
second by use OF lantern slides.
Every poultryman of the county
sh' uld attempt to attend one of the
twc-day schools. The first will be
held at Pasco, Monday and Tues
day, January % and oath, the second
at Prosser, Wednesday and Thurs
day, January 25 and Goth.

APPROVE ACTOR or BOARD

At the meeting Of the stockholders
of the White Bluffs Water Works
Tuesday evening the following board
Of trustees was .eiscled Tor the en-
sizing years: y. IS. Wilkinson, r. A.
English and e. J. O'Larey. At
the suggestion of the old board the
watermaster was not made one OF
the new board. This arrangement,
it is believed. will make the hand
ling Of the company business
much more satisfactory. The fl
nancial statement read by the secre-
tary showed the company to be in
good condition even with the pur-
chase OF the meters which were
bought and partially installed during
the past year. There was a gen
eral approval of the stockholders OF
the cd boards act on in acquiring
the meters and it believed their in
stallation will result in a more sat-
isfactory service. The board ex-
claimed that it would be impossible
to say what the rates will be with
the meters until they have been in
service for some little time. 1t
seems probable, however, that they
will increase the rates in some cases
and lower them in others. But in
any event, with the meters, the water
users will be paying only for what
water they use, and that should make
the rates more satisfactory and e.
quitable.
Under motion passed the new
board was authorized to pay out
OF the general funds of the company
fer watering the trees on the park
ing strips in front OF vacant property.
The new board organized by the
election of D. S. Wilkinson as sec
retary-treasurer and F. A. English
as nresident

we have been able to secure for
these schools are better qualified to
discuss tile topics assigned to them
than anyone else and really feel that
growers will get considerable help
from talks as we'll as discussions.

HAY FED TO COWS
BRINGS S19.4O PER TON

Ever since water was put on the
land in this valley there has been
an argument over which is the more
profitable for the farmer, to sell
his alfalfa or to feed it to dairy
cows. Arthur Heideman, one of
the substantial farmers at White
Bluffs, says that feeding the hay
pays the best. During 1927 Mr..
Heideman had three dairy cows.
He does not claim that they are
purebred or extraordinary stock.
Il. fact, he says, they are just or
dinary grade cows.
From January l, 1927 to JANUARY
/, 1928 he kept an accurate account
cf the total receipts and expenses
Of the three cows and his figures
show the following under the heads
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1928-01-20
Total.

was $45 which left an average net
return Of $116.50 per COW. AS
each COW consumed six tons of al
falfa, Mr.. Heideman figures that he
would have had to receive $19.40
per ton net for the hay to equal
what it brought him when fed to
the cows.
In his calculations Mr.. He:deman
allowed no credit to the cows for
the SKINNED milk which every far
mer knows amounts to considerable
sum over a years tine in the way
Of food to Figs, chickens and other
poultry. No credit was allowed
either for the manure which he was
able to put back on the land and
while there is no way of knowing just
what this would amount to in dollars
and cents, every farmer knows it
amounts to lot where the land is
properly farned.
Mr.. Heideman's experience with
the cows is probably not exceptional
as there are doubtless other dairy
men who could show equally good
results. Not many farmers who
sold Their 1927 crop OF alfalfa, es-
pecially where the hay was not feed
on the land, will be able to show
an average price Of $19.40 per ton
for hay in the stack. In fact it is
extremely doubtful if any of item
received a price anywhere near that
figure.
This is the time of year when
everybody is taking stock and doubt
less other farmers will find records
that would be of general interest to
other ranchers. The Spokesman will
be glad to publish anything along
this line that is turned in.
