THINK IT OVER

A THOUGH the advanced sea-
"A son and the state of the bud
get do not permit of immediate
improvement of our city streets,
it is not too early to be thinking
about next spring. Not only are
new street surfaces needed in the
business district. The residential
sections also suffer from made
quate and old-fashioned roadways.
Most of our streets were built
on the principle that trucks full Of
rocks dumped down would eradi-
cate the ankle-deep sand. The pro-
duct was something a horse could
scramble over, but the rocks roll
ed around and settled into pockets
and hillocks, and the result is a
nightmare for automobiles.
BY the time that spring comes
around, we should have our minds
definitely made up to remedy the
and facilities for fun given to the
situation, for truly it is a blot
on the 'scutcheon of Kennewick's
civic pride"

where to begin, we knew not.
Eleven years have passed since
that fateful meeting Of generals
in the dark forest of eastern
France. In that time We have learn
ed that there is battle yet to be

of Freedom, holding her back from
her long-desired flight.
Armistice Day is to remind us
that there are still tasks for every

when that Great Armistice shall

HALLOWEEN CHANGED

HALLOWEEN is a time-honored
II custom, but like many other
of our hoary traditions, it's under
going change for the better. The
season just passed proves it more
clearly than before. The spirit OF
depreciation and destruction that
has animated Halloween prank
sters for the last few centuries is
giving away more and more rap
idly.
Whether it is the result of a
growing social consciousness or
the presence of other outlets for
youthful energy, we cannot say.
Knowing boys, one would be IN
clined to the latter view. But
whatever the cause, the result is
highly pleasing to anguished prop
erty owners who dread the gate
garbage-dumping night above all
others.
Soaping windows, ringing door
bells and marching around in the
dark with fearsome jack o'lan-
terms is legitimate fun, and no
one wants to discourage that,
knowing what kick the kids get
out of it. 1t is a link with the past
which we are casting off all to
swiftly. But we have cause for re-
joicing in the fact that Halloween
is becoming an incident, not an
event. Fairgrounds, organized
games and the greater freedom
modern boy makes it no longer
necessary for him to use up
months energy in one grand orgy
of wild pranks.

Dairying

The general tone of the butter
market is steady following drop
of butterfat prices early in Octo-
Der. Other dairy products, too, are
still in favorable position, with
the exception of canned milk. On
the production side, pasture has
been short and dry and most dairy
feeds are higher.
Storage stocks Of butter which
are usually large are moving into
consumption at a rapid rate. The
October first storage report for
the United States shows stocks
of butter on hand of 30,433, 900
pounds larger than one year ago,
and $4,000, 900 pounds greater than
the five-year average. The move
ment of these supplies into trade
channels has decreased the necess-
ity for as high butterfat prices as
were maintained early this fall,
to attract butterfat shipments
from a greater distance to WASH
ington consuming centers. There
has been a definite swing toward
the use of storage butter, and the
buying interests has now directed
to that class of goods.
Production of butter up to Octo-
her IL, according to trade reports,
shows a decided lowering produc-
ton of butter, which was lib per
cent less than the corresponding
week of last year for the Land o.
Lakes Creameries. Fluid milk mar
kets are firm and, in quite a num-
Der of areas, prices have advanced.
The increase in dairy heifers be-
ing raised will not likely be felt
until tn latter part of 1880, as
the first of these which were saved
as the result of better dairy prices
will begin to freshen this winter.
The strong and increasing demand
for dairy products on Pacific Coast
is expected to continue due to in
creasing population.

ARM1STICE DAY

RMISTICE Day is memorial
to tn ending of the greatest
and most terrible war ever suffer-
ed by mankind. There have been
longer struggles, but never one
more expensive in life, money and
civilization. The Armistice marks
the end of a war which drew into
its mighty whirlpool all the ma
tions of the world. Whether COM
batants or not, they felt the wave
that surged in widening circles
from the fields of France.
1t was war which affected not
only our military and economic re-
sources, but drew heavily upon the
ideals and conventions that bull
warked our civilization. Armistice
was signed, we turned from the
confusion Of the battlefield to a
farther-reaching confusion at home
where the neat little walls of our
cliques and classes were cracked
and broken; things we had reso-
lutely put out Of our minds came
surging back to torment us into
action. Our wartime energy was
still hot within US, and with the
release from the spectre of battle,
We threw ourselves into peace with
a reckless and undirected frenzy.
This was the age of the wild "flap-
per" and all that she brought in
her wake. We knew something had

The Washington Farm Situation

vice, State College of Washington
Eggs and Poultry


The peak in egg prices in Wash
ington is usually reached in Oct
ober or in the early part of Nov
ember. A lower volume of storage
eggs on hand, increased number
of pullets coming into lay, and APP
parently lowered consumption are
the outstanding factors affecting
the poultry situation this winAr
On October first storage eggs
were 1,35f,0O cases under those
on hand year ago, but the move
ment of storage is somewhat slow
er than last year. In general, sup
plies of the better grade eggs have
been light, but the lower grades
have ben ample for the demand,
according to the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economies.
With about 4 percent fewer old
hens and 10 percent more pullets
in the country last July first, an
increase in lay from ,pullets win
soon DE felt. Estimates as to the
numbers Of pullets raised in Wash
ington range from 6 to 20 percent
in the different poultry counties.
The number would likely have been
larger had it not been for the low
hatchability early in the season
and chick losses mainly caused by
extreme cold weather.
Lowered consumption was no
ticed as early as August and since
then has been evident in nearly all
of the large consuming centers.
This lowered consumption has been
accounted for by the hot weather
in late summer and the relatively
high prices generally prevailing.
But considering the year up to
October first, consumption has
good and prices have ranged much
better than year ago.
For the week ending October s,
the holdings of dressed poultry at
Seattle were short 1889 lbs. as
compared to those of last year. The
opposite situation was evident for
seven Pacific Coast cities, as there
was a surplus of 893,929 lbs. of
poultry compared to the same time
year ago. Also in the United
States there was on hand on Oct
ober first, 1891 900 lbs. more fro
zen poultry than year ago, which
is in contrast to the situation In
Seattle. Heavy live colored hens
were quoted at one cent under the
prices of year ago at Seattle on
October 10, while quotations on
Leghorns 81 to 4 IL lbs. ranged
from / to 2 cents more per pound
than at the same time last year.
The shortage in Seattle resulted IN
! carload shipment of live colored
hens into Seattle from the East,
the first for many years, accord
ing to press report on October
