Sincerely,
FRANCIS MILLS


So Welch has eyes on Kenne.
wick!. Smart fellers, those boys
with more under their hats thar
mere thatch. Wouldn't it be a joke
if some of these folks dropped in
and showed US more than we learn
ed in twenty-five years actual res
idence. 1t has been done, you know
Why in the past two years a mar
has come here and sold Kennewick
watermelons to the whole North
west and I'll wager those melons
have done more to make people
"Kennewick conscious" than any
thing that has happened in ten
years. Locally We have made but
little progress toward determining
definitely just what crops are
adopted to our soil and climate.
There has been a widespread opin-
ion in years past that irrigated
products were "watery". You've
read about that myth of the alleg-
ed superiority of non-irrigated ap-
pies. But just spring the blindfold
test and, eOh Boy! I don't know
where it grew but jest gle me an
other Delicious apple like that last
one" And it's cinch that that APP
pie never grew on some drouth-
stunted, winter-grizzled, unirrigat-
ed apple tree in Iowa.
Thro a process of slow, painful
evolution we are beginning to real
ize that, in some respects, our val
ley is unique. The Sunnyside can
merry, with all the Yakima valley
to draw from, has taken a fancy
to our asparagus. And this in spite
of the fact that Sunnyside growers
are thoroly convinced that no real
is grown below the last
farm on the Sunnyside rural route.
And again, consider red raspber-
ries, the kind that made Puyallup
famous. Assuredly that fame was
built upon volume, for, based on
flavor and aroma, Kennewick
raspberries have them beat all
ways. You didn't have to tell Bro
Their Fenton that Kennewick Con-
cords have the highest percentage
of grape sugar grown in the Unit
ed States. His chemists told him
that, hence the rubber. He wanted
to be sure that there were no over
balancing factors.
If we could only demonstrate
these facts, convince these men
that we have the goods with these
unique qualities of flavor and
aroma which seems to be inimit-
able in products grown in the low
er Columbia valley, and convince
them that these qualities would
larry on an enhance the reputation
of the manufactured product, then
things would be headed our way.
A local demand for the raw pro-
duct, the development essential to
its preparation and distribution
and the fame coincident to being
SO definitely con the map"
Oh, boy! Wouldn't it be a grand
and glorious country?

New Rule Tried

Washington, May 27 R-A- though many methods have been used heretofore to keep party mem- Sbers in line in the house. the re- publican leaders are using a unique plan successfully to assure a sub- stantial majority on the floor dur ing consideration of amendments to the tariff bill.
 Instead of making known when certain of the ninety-odd ways and means committee amendments arc to be offered, the republican leaders keep the time secret and call up first one article and then another far removed in character.
 Consequently, every republican member interested in any article in the bill-and nearly all of them arc intensely interested in some-ls forced to stay on the floor for fear it may be called next.
 The democrats. who have not re- signed themselves to the overwhelm- ing majority. remain on the floor in hope that the republican ranks will be depleted sufficiently, so they may drive a wedge into the majority rarty's measure.

and disagreement and leave the problem of getting together to the governments for diplomatic nego- tiation.
 There was some optimism but it seemed to be the optimism of senti- ment rather than of fact. Certain French circles, for instance, charged the refusal of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht. Germai spokesman, to recede fur ther in an effort at compromise was bluff" It was argued he must know "the consequences to his country's $ credit if tho conference fails to reach an agreement" and that he would abandon his stand before he would let the experts disband in failure.
 Other circles looked to Owen D. Young and his companion American delegates. J. P. Morgan. to find a way out of the impasse. In it's IS weeks of life the conference survived 90 many vicissitudes and still lived that today there was widespread disinclination to believe it finally had reached the denouement.
 Gulf Still Wide
 As far as was known today after q noon time conference of the credi- tor nation experts with Dr. Schacht yesterday, the gulf between the two viewpoints yawned as wide as ever, with :Dr. Schacht adamant. on at least three points. .
 These seemed to be. first. that Germany could pay no larger amount than the 2.050. 900, ,000 marks (about $492,OO0,000) annuities proposed in the compromise offer of NIT. Young; second, that Germany could not grant the Belgian demand for addi- tional annuities of 25.000,O00 markz to cover depreciated currency; third. that the new plan, if an agreement were reached. should become effec- tive almost at once instead of being indefinitely postponed as the credi- tor nations have insisted it should.

With this measure passed. the tari6 tlfl in the hands of the senate finance committee, and farm relief legislation finally approved. they will be prepared to arrange a recess to continue until the middle of Septem- Der. Their plan calls for the fixing of . date for vote in the senate on the tariff bill. but they expect little difficulty on that account. The farm bill conferees. however. are practically at the same point in their negotiations where they began a week ago. although. they continue 10 express optimism that they will be able to get together.
 The house committee walked out of the joint session Saturday with what amounted to an ultimatuin that no further sessions would be agreed to until the export debenture proposal had been eliminated from consideration. The senate commit tee has stood out for various pro- posals which would bring the dis puted plan to a vote in the house. while the latter's representatives have rejected all suggestions point ing to such result.

Paul Mallon, United Press correspondent whose name appeared
 over one of the stories containing
 the roll call, which some senators
 have declared was inaccurate, was summoned to appear before the committee this morning. At his re- quest, the committee agreed to con- duct the hearing in open session and
 he was given permission to have counsel.

The latter had before it a report from a subcommittee hold ing that the question was one for court action rather than senate in vestigation.

LAST REMEDY IN
 DEBTS DEADLOCK
Young Sounds Germans Out on Nov Proposal

Paris. May e7 R - Owen D. Young. Sir Josiah Stamp and Emile Morcau were trying a last remedy on the reparations committee today in the hope of finally saving it from the fate which has been pending the last four weeks.
 The American expert was actively negotiating with the creditor dele- gates on a new combination. the na- ture of which thus far has been withheld. but is supposed to be quite . new scheme that will get around the conditions imposed by the Ger mans and the reservations put for ward by the allies.
 The Germans have failed to reply to the credhors' memorandum con- cerning the conditions and reser- vations to the annuities recently suggested by Mr. Young. At the German headquarters 1t was said nc written reply would be made. since Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, chief of the German delegation. explained the German position amply to MT. Young. ~,
 No Change h situation
 This explanation, as communicat- ed to the creditors by Chairman Young. made no change in the situ- ation and this morning. which was regarded as ushering in the fatal week of the conference. 1t was de- cided to try final desperate meas ure.
 This effort has been received with sympathy in expert circles here. but without any real sign of confidence.

PASTOR BACKS
DEATH SIGNS

sTAUNTON, Va. May S.-The
Rev. J. W. Covington, pastor Of
Pilgrim Holiness Church, staunton,
has taken exception to protests
against certain religious" signs
posted along Virginia highways,
about which an Ohio motorist
recently wrote H. G. Shirley, chair
man of the Virginia State High.
way Commission.
The signs, which read Prepare
to meet thy God" Death is on
thy track" or bear similar legends
are in fields along the roads, in
view of motorists.
In a letter to a local newspaper
the Rev. w. X Covington says:
do we call death a legend. fable,
or myth, or is it a real fact? Do
people die, or Is it an old fable
handed down to us by the old
'fogies' Of past ages? Does death
ever meet anybody in the highways?
Or Is it just a myth that between
10000 and $4,000 are killed by auto
mobiles in a single year? Is it not a
fact that people are becoming more
reckless, and that life is less safe
on the highways than ever before?
Have we come to the time that
we are not allowed to warn people
of death, or to prepare to meet God?
Must we keep from the people the
fact that they must meet him at the
judRment?'
