tax. The extra money, totaling
81, 100000 for this biennium, is to
lbe apportioned among the SO
counties for the establishment and
development of county highway
systems. Each county will receive
$27,500 to begin with, after which
the balance will be reapportioned
on the basis of farms and register
ed motor vehicles in each county.
Some uncertainty prevails as to
whether the "farm-to-market" bill
will be vetoed by Governor Hart
ley. 1t will he recalled that Mr..
Hartley warned in his inaugural
message against an increase in
the gasoline tax, but, on the other
hand, the bill received such sub
stantial support in both chambers
that some argue the Governor will
be disposed to accept it. If it is
vetoed, however, there will be q
resounding veto fight, to be sure.

jointly together will handle the
sale of these early crops. This will
mean that only one quotation will
go out from this district on these
products.
Lee. M. Lampson will handle the
sales for the 8 Rivers Association
and E. F. Willett, assistant sales
manager of the Big "Y", Yakima,
will be in Kennewick during the
period of the sales of the ground
crops and represent the BIG ssY."

FRUIT INJURY
is NEGLIGIBLE
IN KENNEWICK
Cold Does Little Damage; Full
Crop Cherries; Pears and
Apples Unharmed; Peaches
and Apricots Affected Some

With favorable weather the Ken
newick, district will have virtually
full crop of sweet cherries, some
peaches and a fair crop of apri.
cots, according to Jay Perry, hort
iculture inspector, who has opened
buds from one end of the district
to the other. AS far as Perry was
able to discern, the small varieties,
generally known as the Russian
varieties of apricots, will have al
most a complete crop. No damage
has been done by the cold weather
this winter to the pears and apples.
With warm weather, the orch
ardists@ have become exceedingly
busy. Pruning is being finished up,
the orchards are being cleaned up
and preparations are being made
to spray adequately this year in
the district because of the spread
of the San Jose scale last year.

Old-Fashioned Mother"
Proves Real Success

A large crowd filled the base
ment of the Methodist church last
Friday evening and enjoyed the
play, "An Old-Fashioned Mother
given by the young married peo-
pie of the church.
Humor, pathos, comedy and .trag-
edy so permeated every part of
the more than two hours of enter
tainment that at times many could
be seen wiping away the tears,
who shortly before had been con-
vulsed with laughter.
Each person in the cast seemed
to fit in his particular part and
a wonderful lesson of hopes, de-
feats and triumphs was portrayed
in such a way that they will not
soon be forgotten.
Several from Pasco Were present
and asked that it be presented
over there and it will be given
there Friday evening in the Pasco
Methodist church.
Many have requested that 1t be
given here again and it is planned
now to present it again the eve
ming of March 15 to accommodate
many who did not see it the last
time and many who wish to see It
the second time.

GOLFERS CHANCE
 VIEWS ON RUSSIA
British Miners See Country,
 Turn Against SOViets

Fythorne. England. Dec. 1S lP- A new method of combating com munist propaganda in mining dis tricts has been discovered by Tilden smith, managing director of the Tilmanstone coliieries here,
 smiths method does it's work without the arrest of a single soap box orator, or the expenditure of public funds in the prosecution Of criminal syndicalism eases. It also fas the supreme virtue Of convert ing bothersome asitators into help full friends.
 The colliery had its share of grief from the gloomy coal situa- 1ion iu England, and this was in- creased by growing belief among the miners that under cOmmunlstIc conditions in Russia things must he much better.
 So Smith offered to send two miners Russia or condition they stay there if things looked better than at home and on the further con- dition that if they didn't like the Russian system they would come back and tell their follow workers why.
 J. Crane and w. Boone. took him up. They returned from Russia full Of hard words.
 Mines in Russia, they found, were indeed different from English mines, of the Barovsky mine in the Donctz Basin, Crane said:
 Tt was just q hole in the side ol hill. Our interpreter refused to go in with us. We went down by sliding on our backs from prop 10 prob. We told them British miners wouldn't work three hours in such place."
 In Moscow the British miners were mortified by high prices pes tered by flies and hcggars, and re- volted by tho sight Of "clothcs and jewels displayed in shops not far from where "thousauds of workers stood in bread queues to obtain their daily ration.'
 Smith had his little joke at tho meeting addressed by Crane and Roonc. He posted near the door the following notice:
 "Booking office for free outward passage to Russia. Application can he made here after the meeting hy Tilmanstonc miners dcsirous of pro ceeding 10 Russia with their families 10 take m employment arranged by their delegates in accordance with the conditions of their tour"
 No one asked for ticket.
