There is no question of the great

Scouts are doing and an opportun-
ity to participate in il"

ADVOCATE rs
DESTROYED BY
FIRE TODAY
Building, Which Housed Rich
land Newspaper and in
Which Sissons Lived, Con-
sumed by Flames

The Advocate office at Richland
was totally destroyed by fire this
evening about five o'clock. The
building, housing the printing of
flee and in which Editor E. B. Sis
son lived, burned together with all
it contained.
The fire started in the pressroom
and before the occupants were
aware of what was happening, the
fire had gained such headway that
the one fire extinguisher in the
shop was of small avail. With no
water pressure there was little
that could be done to save the
building or its contents.
The paper was just about ready
to go to press, type all set, proofs
taken and the matter was ready
to be made up into the forms for
the press. So great a headway was
gained by the flames that there
was no possibility of saving any
thing. The presses, linotype mach
inc, type and equipment, as well
as the household goods and cloth
ing were all destroyed.
The loss was estimated at $4,000
on the printing plant and building,
which was covered by insurance.
Mr.. Sisson's household goods and
clothing were insured for $1,000,
but the policy had never been
changed from their Pasco home to
Richland, which nullifies it.
Arrangements have already been
made for getting out couple of
pages of this weeks issue of the
Advocate, which will be in the
mail tomorrow.

GOV. HARTLEY
WIELDS VETO
PEN ON BILLS
Legislatures Output Virtual
ly Reduced to Appropria-
tion Bill, Highway Budget,
and Excise Tax.
By Richard Hamilton

Governor Hartley flourished his
veto pen so freely as to practical
ly undo the work of the 1929 leg
islature. More than so bills passed
by the legislature aroused the dis
approval of the governor-aside
from several unimportant repeal
measures-and the legislatures
output was virtually reduced to
four enactments:
General appropriations bill
which Mr.. Hartley weeded here
and there.
General highway budget for $685.
700, 900, which Hartley reduced to
below $23,00,000.
Excise tax of 5 per cent on the
net income of financial institutions
which Mr.. Hartley recommended.
eFarm-to-market" highway act,
raising gasoline tax from 2 to 3
cents, providing $2,200,0O0 annual
ly for distribution among coarties
the only important proposition
not sponsored by the governor to
win his approval.
Broke All Records
Unusual procedure featured the
1929 legislatures conduct toward
the governor and the governors
conduct toward the legislature

ley making the utmost of his last
"say." The legislature broke all
records by leaving more than ITO
bills on the executive doorstep
when it quit-just about 85 per
cent of the output being left to
the governors mercy. In many re-
spects, it was passing the buck to
the governor. Thereupon, Mr..
Hartley established a record for
governors of Washington by TAX
ing UP and killing most of the leg
islature's major enactments. In
other words, the Legislature put
the governor under the gun an
Mr.. Hartley refused to finch.

bills vetoed by the governor a..

FIRST GRASS
SHIPPED OUT
THIS WEEK
Two or Three Crates Sent out
Today by 8 Rivers; Grown
by Christensen and Lamp
son; Big Y Makes Shipment

Two or three crates of asparagus
were shipped today by the Three
Rivers Growers association. The
asparagus was grown by Tom
Christensen and Lee Lampson.
This indicates that the season
will be a little earlier than usual,
according to Lee Lampson, mama
ger of the 8 Rivers Growers asso-
ciation. The normal season for
shipping asparagus from this vi
cinity is April 1. However, for the
last two years the season has been
a few weeks late. Indications are
that by Saturday or Monday quaint
tiles of asparagus will be leaving
the district.
Report was also received from
the Big Y that M. Pardini, on the
Clements flat, had brought in a
box of asparagus, which was ship
ped today.
About 500 acres are planted to
asparagus in the Kennewick and
Richland district and about another
hundred in the surrounding coun-
try around Hanford and White
Bluffs. The cold weather did not
affect the asparagus crop as it
takes approximately from 1 to 2
weeks for the asparagus to develop
after it warns up.
About 500 crates of spinach
have been shipped out of this mar
ket this year. While the spinach
is of excellent quality, the market
has been poor this year. The spin
ach was late in coming on this sea-
son because it was retarded by the
cold weather and the Texas crop,
which is large, has been coming
into the markets heavily. Usually
the Texas crop is stopped about
this time of the year by a warm
wave, but this year such conditions
do not exist.

DIVISION PLAN is
USED FOR PICKLES
High School Operetta Makes
Favorable Progress; Miss
Leibbrand, Coach

The high school operetta "Pick-
les," which will be given at the
Liberty theatre, April 18th, under
the direction of Miss Rose Leib-
brand, is progressing favorably in
rehearsal.
The method of rehearsal being
used is the division plan; the dia-
logues are studied at one period,
the solos and duets separately and
the choruses at another time.
Next week the first act will hold
ensemble rehearsals evenings when
the completed divisions will fol-
low the sequence of the score.
This is a clever, humorous op-
eretta full of laughs and witty
dialogues. There is variety in the
music, which consists of solos, du-
cts and quartets by the principals
and choruses in which more than
forty students take part.
Special scenery has been design
ed by Miss Rushton and it is be-
ing constructed IN the shop de-
partment under the direction of
Mr.. Barbee. Colorful costumes
have been designed by Miss Bea-
trice Cogswell of the home econom.
les department.
A feature of the operetta pre-
sentation will be a speciality gyp-
sy dance by Margaret Moulton
The scene is laid in Vienna al
carnival time and the gypsies are
present in large numbers for this
event.

Peter and John went to the tomb

"Peter went forth, and the other
disciple, and came to the sepul-
cher" John 20:3.
When the message came to Peter
and John that the tomb was empty
their first desire was to go and
see the place. We see the hurrying
disciples going to the place where
the Lord had lain. They had heard
their Master tell of His tria 4,
death and resurrection. They had
witnessed two of the events, and
now they were Fastening to behold
the results of the third.
One of those fastening disciples
had denied Him, even with an oath
while the other one had been en-
trusted with the care of the moth
er of the Lord. Peter, because of
his natural impulsiveness, and
John, because of his deep, soul
stirring love for Christ made haste
to the place where Joseph of Ari-
mathaea had tenderly laid the body
of Jesus few hours before. While
in number the hours were compar-
atively few, in experience an d
thoughts the time was long.
It is interesting to see the one
that bore the message of the va
cant tomb. to Peter and John. She
was the one out of whom the Lord
had cast the seven devils. Her love
for the Christ and the appreciation
to her benefactor caused her to go
to His tomb to weep and pray. 1t
was therefore her lot to be the
one who found that the Lord had
risen as He had said He would do
upon the third day.
John, seeing the stone rolled
away from the mouth of the tomb,
paused at the entrance to peer
within, while Peter, seeing the op-
en- tomb entered and found it emp
ty without the body of his Master
lying where it had been placed
following the death upon the cross.
A conversation between a Mo-
hammedan and a Christian mis-
sionary bears repeating. The two
had met and had fallen into con-
versation. The gist of the CONVEX
sation is as follows: 'It is too bad, !"
said the Mohammedan, "that you
do not have a place to go and wor-
ship your leader as we have. We
have Mecca to go to, and there
pray beside the tomb containing
the body of our leader, Moham-
med"
ssIt is true," replied the mission
ary, ssthat you have tomb con-
tanning the body of your leader,
Mohammed, and there you go to
worship and pray. We have an op-
ened tomb. because the One we
worship is risen, therefore we wor-
ship and pray to living Christ.
Ours is living faith"
Instead of journeying to tomb
to worship, we turn our hearts and
thoughts to a living Christ who
has ascended to His Father to
make intercession for all mankind.
It is for me, as an individual, to
decide how / worship and how l
believe. If my worship is just a
passing thought of the season, it
avails me nothing. But if I pause
to consider and claim the true
meaning of the Cross of Calvary,
and the resurrection, then ex-
perience what the Christ meant
when He said, Sand I, if I he lift
ed up from the earth, will draw all
men unto me-"
Has the Christ been lifted up
before your eyes for you to behold
his sacrificial death and conquer
ing resurrection for you? If He
has, then have you committed your
ways unto Him for guidance upon
the pathway of life? You must

TWO TONS OF.
TINFOIL FOR
CRIPPLED KIDS
Kennewick to Dispatch First
Lot Soon; Eastern Wash
ington Communities Sal
wage Foil to Aid Children

More than two tons of tinfoil has
been accumulated at the Masonic
Temple in Spokane by the goth of
March, all to be sold and the pro-
ceeds used for providing comforts
and luxuries for the laiddies in the
Shriners hospital for crippled child
rem in that city, according to HIP.
Flickinger, chairman of committee
for Eastern Washington. 1t will
sell for approximately $120. Ken
newick will dispatch the first col
lection of foil soon.
Gross receipts of the campaign
for the months of January and
February were $128. March, there
fore, will probably exceed both of
the preceding months.
The astonishing increase in re-
ceipts is due, according to Mr..
Flickinger, to the intense interest
that has been aroused in the move
in towns and cities and schools Of
the district served by the Shriners
hospital of Spokane
where men, women and children
have been given an opportunity to
take part in the great work of
helping to mend the bodies of little
people who would never have a
chance otherwise to become useful
citizens.
The. money is used for various
purposes, part of it to provide for
books and equipment for the little
school room in the hospital where
a Spokane grade teacher conducts
classes every day.
Sometimes part of the money is
used to purchase railroad tickets
for transporting some child and its
nurse to the institution-when its
parents are too poor to pay the bill
themselves-and to send it home
when it is cured.
The national trustees for all the
hospitals receiv So each year
from each of the 100000 Shriners
in America, and the trustees pro-
vide the cost for the upkeep, treat
ment, food, clothing and surgical
attendance for each child" said
MIR. Flickinger. "But they have not
the money to furnish the expenses
for birthday parties, radio, little
candy occasionally, playthings and
a dozen other items that must be
given the youngsters to keep them
happy and interested and smiling
while the surgeons work on their
little twisted bodies.
