A NEW MARKET

HOW to dispose of perishlble
crops at their height is an ever
present marketing problem. When
a crop is largest, it either APP
proaches the demand or exceeds
it and it is at this point that mar
kets slump-sometimes to the point
where returns do not justify mar
keting the commodity.
Last week the Courier-Reporter
printed two news items about To-
cal camery contracts for aspara-
gus. This means that between so
and 100 tons of asparagus will be
taken out of this district through
the marketing agencies of the 8
Rivers Growers and the Big 'sY''
in May and the first part of June.
This means two things to this
district. First, there will be a mar
ket close at hand for asparagus
during the season when it is most
prolific and therefore brings the
lowest price. Secondly, a market
for canned green asparagus is be-
ing developed. just as green as
paragus is supplanting white as
paragus in many of the fresh mar
kets because of its flavor, quality
and tenderness, so when house
wives become aware of the quail
tiles of green asparagus will they
prefer it to the bleached white var
iety, which is now sold CONNER
cially in cans.
More demand for canned green
asparagus means more green as
paragus canned, which eventually
should mean a larger acreage of
asparagus for Kennewick.

EOR months, the engineering staff Of the
l. Olds Motor Works sought the answers
to these questions:
"Can Oldsmohi1e Be made still fner?''
'1fso, how can this be aeoompliahed?''
First they studied Enthusiastically. They
serutinized every detail-analyzed every
element of appearance and performance. They
matched Oldsmobile against other cars in it's
field and compared results
Then they said, 'Iee US also have the opinion
Of others to guide as. We must overlook
nothing that will improve this Oldsmoble."
They went to Oldsmobi1e owners every
where and invited their most severe criticism.
They asked women what they wanted in an
automobile :. regardless Of price.
They questioned Oldsmobile dealers and
salesmen.
They called in men who are recognized as
experts in judging automobile values.
They sent fleet of Oldsmobiles to the great
Proving Ground of General Motors, where
all cars are tested impartially.

Upholsteries are richer and more costly. Seat
cushions are deeper and softer. Interiors are
even more stylish and luxurious than before
Further, Oldsmobile not only includes
four Lovejoy hydraulic shock absorbers
as standard equipment-but shock abb
sorbers and springs are synchronizsd to
provide supreme riding ease.
But Oldsmobile has done more than merely
add desirable improvements. Oldsmobile
has reduced prices-and has reduced them
substantially!

run entirely to the top of the shell. But this,
of course, you need not do, for few cars any
where near Oldsmobile in price even have

And these improvements have been made.
Full length vertical radiator shutters are
standard equipment on the 1929 Oldsmobile.

American sentiment has been
pitched in an optimistic key ever

The amateur speculator has
frequently been caught as a re.

his entrances and exits into the

GIRLS WISE

Should It ever come to a show

that Senators are more polite over
the telephone than members OF the
House OF Representatives that sec.
retaries to the Congressman are
polite and the secretaries to the
secretaries" are the hard-bolled Gus
toners to handle.
A showdown to a Capitol hello
girl" would mean that they could
vote their opinion without fear Of
losing the position and that their
act would not be published.
These girls who handle the tele-
phonic business of the Nations
Capitol are real diplomats even
though some may have the appear
ance OF flappers. All of the regu.
lars who plug into "National $780,

being desk decorations.
Handling a cali for Herbert
Hoover is no novelty. All of these
operators have dome business"
with Mr.. Hoover when he was Sec
retary of Commerce. He had oc-
casion to telephone members of
Congress considerably then.
But taking the call from a Presi-
dent, plugging the cord carrying
his actual voice, is something diff
ferent. Mr.. Hoover IL the first
President TO allow a telephone on
his desk. And he uses it and the
Capitol girls admit they get a wee
bit excited when they know the
White House Is on the other end of
the line.
They don't want any 'iiscon-
meets" when the President is phon.

him they do when President Hoover
is on the line.
