The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1928-03-08

where so many of his two legged
enimies live. A panorama passes
before his eyes. of wheat, yellow
bantam corn, early and late pota-
toes. sweet potatoes. lettuce, peas
and all kinds of vegetables, straw
berries. asparagus, currants, rasp-
berries. cherries canteloupes, wat
ermelons. ice cream melons, ap-
pies. pears, peaches, apricots and
Drunes to say nothing Of cows,
chickens and sheep and their kim
dred products. His gaze then rests
upon little farm upon which 81
distinct and different varieties of
food stuffs are raised. Finally he
thinks he sees some of his long
lost relations but on second sight
finds it is only the tufts or some
stray cotton plants gently waving
to and fro in the cooling summer
breeze.
Self preservation is the first in
stinct of life and with a last. long,
lingering and yearning gaze, he
slowly lowers himself onto all
fours. and here is where he shows
his sagacity, for he turns his back
upon Kennewick and HES himself
to less fertile fields to forage. He
realizes that if he feasts at sThe
Table Fit for an Epicure' which
he just saw, his flesh would be so
luscious and demand for his meat
would be so great that the poor
Jack rabbit family would soon be
extinct. A. MOTHER
We have read several letters in
this paper recently discussing
Kennewick, pro and con. It was
with regret that we noted the sub
iect of Kennewick farming COM
munity gradually was lost in the
wage of personalities. During this
period there has been amongst US
an evangelist, supposedly uplift-
ing and saving the kindred souls
of this populace. The letters pub
lished have knocked this commun-.
ity, more or less. Would it not be
easier to get along if we boosted
instead of using the proverbial
hammer? Said hammer, to the
writer's knowledge, has prevented
the settling in this community of
two substantial farmers. with cash
in hand. during the past three
months.
We would be glad to contribute
the sum of five dollars in United
States money and made in Kenne-
wick farming district, to a fund
to be devoted to the person or per-
sons writing the best letter on
''The Advantages Of Kennewick as
a Farming Community and Perm
anent Home"
Dear Editor:
The other day a woman said to
me in pious voice: "Well, now,
my daughter is safely married"
presume she meant respectfully
mated. for surely, the word "safe"
cannot be applied to an experience
that can produce anything from
the deepest degradation to the
most ineffible communion.
Being alive is undoubtedly the
most dangerous condition on earth
and the next most dangerous is be-
ing married. We come into this
world without having anything to
say about it but most of us marry
either because we are courageous
or because we are ignorant. The
former is evidently the attitude
of approach of the young men of
Kennewick who have issued a chal-
lenge in the organization of a
Bachelors club. They seem to rea-
lie that while there is such
state as being safely celibate there
| is no such state as being safely
married. But they have yet to
learn that there need be no drab-
ness in marriage unless they take
drabness to it.
Marriage. like life should be
treated as a privilege chance
for achievement-rather than as
an affliction or refuge from
danger which it certainly is not.
