District Federation Meeting
Held in Yakima last Friday

That we now stand on the shout
ders of giants as regards vision, was
the keynote of the address given
RI day afternoon by Mrs. Ruth Karr
-,-lAec OF LongvieW, past president
Of the Washington federation Of
Women's' clubs, who spoke before
crowd of 400 women in the Wo-
mans Century clubhouse, according to
he report Of the District meeting,
in the Yakima Herald.
In giving her theme, Horizons"
the speaker defined it as something
determined by ones own stature,
moving with the individual and hav-
.ng its center where one is. Mrs. Nc
Kee called attention to the fact that
man alone is able to lift up his eyes
to the universe.
Starting with the lower animals
whose vision is limited, the speaker
developed the thought of growing
vision through the cave man, me-
dleval times and to the present day
when persons have their own fac
ulties plus the tremendous gifts of
science.
Leading eventually to adult edu-
cation, Mrs. Mckee referred briefly
to the state of ignorance in which
women of years ago lived when no
educational advantages were offered
adults. This state was considered a
trlghtful economic waste of rs of
the best years of ones life.
Under the new plan of improve
ment which stresses adult educa-
ton, the institutions of higher learn
ing have answered this call by Of
terlng intensive study courses in
which one may receive college cred
it's and obtain bachelors or mas
ter's degree. Mrs. Mckee staunchly
endorsed this work for women.
At the opening Of the afternoon
session, Miss Lois Laughlin pointed
out the necessity, provisions and APP
plications of the county library bill.
Following closely in this theme came
one-act play, "When Winter
Comes, which was a slzit to show
what a need would be filled in the
country home with the passage of
the BILL The parts were taken by
Mrs. Etha Woodcock, Mrs. F. A.
Richter, Mrs. E. S. Printice and
Mrs. Elwood Hutcheson.
An entertaining feature that
brought tears of unrestrained de-
light to the audinece was the de-
lightful suite of vocal numbers Of
fered by Miss Elizabeth Fourier,
who was accompanied by Miss Ger
trude Miller. Her opening number
was Sunshine" by Grieg, and the
nursery rhyme suit that so charmed
the women included "Curly Locks
"Ten Little Pigs" and tHouse That

GENERAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS
From the Monthly Bank Of Newly

| ing spell that has tended to put a
damper on recovery"
Regarding the efforts made by
corporations to meet the reduced
scale Of operations, the bulletin
says:
Zone of the factors which is
gradually building the foundations
of new prosperity is the progress
which industry is making in elimi-
mating waste. Under pressure of
reduced volume of business and
lower prices, business men have
been going over their organizations
with fine tooth comb, subjecting
every process to rigid inspection
with a view to finding ways and
means of improving methods, elm
mating unnecessary man-power
and pairing costs to the irreducible
minimum. And the results in many
cases are most impressive"
Signs of business improvement
are forthcoming, the bulletin notes,
pointing out that commodity
prices have shown more stability
and lately in particular, the prin-
cipal staple crops, including cotton
and grain, have demonstrated an
ability to move independently of
the stock market, holding firm in
the face of stock market weakness.
Pronounced Improvement has taken
place in the textile industry and
sentiment there is more optimistic
than in years. Sugar is up As per
cent on indications that for the first
time ali principal producing areas
are alive 10 the need for eurbing

School Notes

Report cards are out this week and
there are many groans as we'll as
many smiles reported. However, this
is the quarter report and there are
several weeks for the groaners to
turn their semester card into smiles
The operetta was we'll received b.
a larger audience tina the students
had expected. 1t will be found written
up in other columns than this so we
will not comment on it further here.
The Student Body wish to thank Mrs.
Wilkinson and Mrs. Taylor for the
flowers which helped to make the
stage setting. They were much appre-
ciated.
Smallpox in the vicinity has Great
ed quite Juror in the school and the
community. DR.. Spaulding was up on
Wednesday and vaccinated great
many who expressed the desire to
have the work done. He did this at
the high school and grade school.
The students in the zoology class
are very busy these days working
with cfayflSh. Ihey are finding IT
hard to hold their noses and dissect
at the same time. The specimens
are preserved in formaline solution
The English " class has been hav-
ing busy, amusing and instructive
time dramatizing Macbeth. "Out
damned spot; Is this dagger I see
before me? That lily white hand, will
it never be clean again?" Oh! Oh!
perhaps they have not got that far!
Soc er and tumbling are keeping
the boys out of doors most Of the
time during school intermissions
Many of the boys are surprised to
find how soft they are and how little
physical exercise it takes to make
them sit down and rest.

WOMAN'S CLUB NOTES
operate Selections Enjoyed
At Move u her Club Meeting

A rare treat was offered to the mu-
sic lovers of the club at the Novem-
Der meeting Wednesday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. McFee, when Mrs.
Gibbins and Mrs. Kingman present
ed series of selections from
Gounod's Faust, the story of the opera
being told by Mrs. Gibbins. "The
Flower Song" was given by Mrs. Eng
fish, and Mrs. Taylor sanp "When All
Was Young and Pleasant" The Angel

English and Mrs. Taylor and accom-
paniments were played by Mrs. I. G.
Hawley. Mrs. Alex Parke played the
waltz song, 'iLight As AIR" as an
instrumental selection and few VIC
tor records were used.

sion that followed, brought forth the
suggestion that more music be pro-
vided for in next years program, If
possible.
Tea and cakes were served by the
hostesses of the afternoon, Mrs.
Reierson and Mrs. Wilkinson.
Seventeen members and guests
were in attendance.

overproduction. The somewhat
better showing of building figures
in September has also been re-
garded favorably. Production in
the automobile industry, while
low, has shown signs of moving
counter to the customary seasonal
down-trend.
On the subject of money, the
bulletin says that "the money mar,
ket at New York has continued UNI
usually easy during October, not
withstanding that the month gen
orally marks the peak of the
Autumn crop moving and trade de-
mand," and adds that with the
passing of October, little chance is
seen for any hrmer rates before
December, when expanding cur
rency requirements for the holiday
trade begin to be a factor IN the
market"
Bond market conditions are sum-
married. as follows: The bond
market has been conspicuosrsay
weak during most of the past month
There has been some unsettlement
and forced liquidation of domestic
issues accompanying the stock
market break, while foreign dol
lar bonds have continued 10 re-
fleet the current uncertainty over
conditions abroad. During the
past ten days, however, improved
conditions abroad and a more
hopeful attitude in the United
States have brought about mach
frmer tone in the bond market.

3 States is scraping bottom, &C
- cording to the monthly bulle-
tin on business and economic con-
ditions published by The National
City Bank of New York.
Whether the precise mathemat-
ical low point has been reached
may be open to question but we do
not believe business is likely to go
much lower and we think the next
important movement will be up
ward" the bulletin says. "The
business situation has shown no
clear indication of decisive change
during the past month. Some signs
of improvement can be found and
a number of them are quite encour-
aging but none of them is yet i'm
portant enough to give definite
assurance that the turn has taken
place.

counting on some sort of recov-
cry this Autumn, it is natura, that
this failure of their hopes to
materialize should have had de-

disappointment has found reflection
In the stock market where prices,
which had been holding up on ex-
pectations of an early recovery in

way to new low levels more in

profits. And as the market has
declined, business sentiment which
IS always influenced largely by
the market, has had another sink

Citizenship and Patriotism

DURING the last great national political campaign the
American public stirred by campaign speeches touching
the subject of citizenship and patriotism and
has uorousy remarked that the patriotism of the Ameri
people lies dormant except in time of war; political
campaigns and the Fourth of July Judging by the indif
ference of people that privilege of citizen
shpthe balotthere would to be grain Of truth in
this
An examination of the records of local elections held in
the past few years White Bluffs and the Priest Rapids
valley, however show that the here subject
to that ciss In order to insure completely represent
alive government every citizen should be Of
not allowed to VOTE what coveted privilege would be
Every citizen of White Bluff has voice in whatever
affects the general good Each mans opinion carries weight
he will but take the trouble express By his yes
mo he help to promote the welfare of his community
Like charity good government begins at home. If each
town would ineigenty consider its local problems and
solve them by popular vote the nation whole would adj
in mighty strides.
