Last week the advanced steno-
graphers attempted to take Rev,
Miller's speech in shorthand. The
majority were unsuccessful, how
ever, because the nature of the
speech was so delightfully."- all
stopped writing to listen.
Reverend Miller seems very In
terested in education, in fact edu-
cation was the gist of his speech.
He told us of some of his exper-
fences since coming from Louisiana
to the West. Encounters with
strangers on trains, of the minis
try, and of different vacations. One
of particular interest was a chat he
had with the Mr.. Tunney. He
expressed the sentiments, as had
Mr.. Tunney, that the success OF ed
ucation is going to depend largely
upon elimination of scandle from
the front pages of newspapers, on
the banishing of magazines which
expose a double meaning in every
line, and upon introducing more
spiritual air in schools and col
leges.

THE TURNING POINT

KENNEWICK has at last reach
- ed a turning point in her ca
reer. Harmony is more in evidence
right now, we believe, than ever
before in her history. Witness the
manner in which the service clubs
cooperate; the willingness of the
marketing agencies and their mem
berships to work toward the COM
mon end; the feeling of friendli-
ness and mutual cooperation be-
tween the business men and the
farmers.
The farm demonstration train
program which the business men
are financing, arrangements for
which were made this week, is an
outstanding evidence of the gener-
al spirit of good will. 1t is move
ments such as these which deter
mine the ultimate success of a

COOPERATION

YTHE proposition which the Yak
4 ina Fruit Growers association
has made to the 8 Rivers assocla.
ton and other handlers on the
ground crops of strawberries, as
paragus and early potatoes, brings
before the growers of this dis
trict again the idea of concentrate
ed marketing of these products
from this district.
Regardless of the details OF the
proposition, which with certain
notifications and additions, the 3
Rivers seem to favor also, the ben
efits which would accrue to grow
ers from having one price quoted
from this district on these pro-
ducts cannot be stressed too much.
1t is to be hoped that mere details
will not prove too great an obstacle
to the associations concerned.
Such a plan of. marketing would
eliminate competitive quotations
from this section and would provide
a means for concentrated and CO.
operative marketing.
The community as whole is far
more important than any group in
it. The interests of any factions
or individual men should be sub
ordinated to the whole. The only
way concentrated marketing
scheme can be worked out is
for the associations and the grow
ers concerned to get together. If
virtually everyone in the district
desires cooperative marketing, it
should he feasible to work out a
successful plan.

FORTUNATE KENNEWICK
Rv a contributor

HIoT only did Kennewick exceed
IN all the rest of the Yakima val
lev ON prices received for aspar-
ao,s. strawberries, cherries, peach
es. prunes and pears, but now the
majority of growers are likely to
get more for their apples.
PROBABLY better than 95 per
cent of the apples grown tributary
to Kennewick are in the strong
hands of either the Big sY" or the
K. Lane johnson Co. While most
of the balance of the valleys APP
pies are in the hands Of the grow
ers.
This particular year, more than
ever, will demonstrate the advan-
tage of group selling. Now that
the bulk of the storage apples have
to be moved within the next sixty
days and with the cold storages
full and over 500 cars of common
storage apples still in the valley,
it looks like even the present prices
will slump badly.
The big buyers and the associa-
tions, have or are sold out, the in
dividual, so called independent
grower, will as in the past many
times get the bumps.
Again it will be demonstrated
that the time for the grower to
sell his apples is at picking time
unless he has independent means
to carry and the necessary infor-
nation as to markets. Possibly the
few growers in Kennewick carry
ing their own apples can afford
the loss, but the community is to
be complimented on being such a
strong organization center.
For bigger and better Kenne-
wick consolidate all the crops in
to as few and as strong organiza-
lions as possible. Let's go and
at the same time have peace and
prosperity among us.

have no constructive end for their

Ready and cheerful response to
the Awakening of Washington and
Washington Week, have therefore
demonstrated they. are entitled to
place in the program of the busy
men and women of the state. For
there has been a response exceed
ing expectations and each year
this enthusiasm grows in intensity
and in increased numbers.
This would lead one to believe
there was a need for such move
ments and this has encouraged
those sponsoring them until plans
for carrying on have become auto
matte, and each year communities
branch out in their activities and
responsibilities without guidance.
This is a healthy indication Of
real awakening to the needs of our
state, and so long as this spirit

BIGGER THINGS


The way to accomplish the big
things is to do little things, which
is another way of saying that big
thing is number of little things
well done. The man who refuses to
do the little things that come to his
hand while he is waiting to tackle
the big job is like the fellow who
refuses to walk a rod because he
wants to go a mile.
1t doesn't matter where we are
whether it is a great brokerage
office on Wall street, in the seeth-
ing steel mill district, away out
on remote farm, or filling an UNI
important niche in the quiet life
of some small village-we can
make big things out of little OPP
portunities. The making of great
accomplishments lie all around us.
