FRUIT GROWERS MEETING
TO Be HELD MONDAY

All fruit growers in the district
are urged to attend meeting which
will be held at the White Bluffs
high school auditorium on Monday,
January, 19 at 1880 under the aus
pices of the Central Washington
Growers Association, according to

There will also be one at Hanfori,
at 2:30, the afternoon of January
10, according to the president of

"The meeting will be for the pur-
pose of explaining the work done in

PTact1cauy every grower III tAS
Yakima valley has contributed to
this fund this year and as result will
want to know all about the advertis-
ing. The growers Association is
making this possible and we want
every grower to be on hand at this
meeting. The Association has sent
out missionaries to all the members
and has found that the growers want
to have this work explained.

Forger Cashes
Phoney Checks
In Yakima
Checks Totaling $176 Are
Drawn On White Bluffs
Warehouse Company

Three forged checks on the White
Bluffs Warehouse Company are be-
ing made the subject of investigation
this week by Benton county officials.
All three checks were dated jan
uary 2, 1881, and all of them were
cashed in Yakima, January z.
The number, date and payee on
the three checks were as follows
No. 643, amount $4,000, payee
Clifford Johnson.
No. 1872, amount $6S.40, payee Bill
Jensen.
No. 1877. amount s6s.o4, payee How
ard Stewart.
The first one listed was cashed
by the Tyrell's Service Station, the
second by Sears Robuck & Company
and the third by the Trenner Tire
Company.
The three checks arrived at the
First Bank of White Bluffs, on which
they were drawn, for collection thru
the regular bank channels, January g..
It was at that time the forgeries were
detected. Mrs. w. j. Kincaid, assistant
cashier, noticed that the name signed
on the checks was &C. J.. Wright"
instead of &C. I. Wright She called
Mr.. Wright's attention to this and on
examination he pronounced all three
forgeries.
AS the warehouse safety check ma
chine as well as the rubber stamp
for the signature, was used in each
instance, it is believed that the forg
cries were committed by some person
or persons familiar with the office
methods of the warehouse. Another
thing that lends color to this belief
is the fact that all of the doors lead
ing into the office excepting the inside
door to the warehouse, are locked at
night and access to the office during
the night time could be gained only
through this inside door after entry
had been made into the warehouse
through one of the doors near the
cold storage plant, difficult feat
except by some one familiar with
the warehouse.
The officers say they have some
definite clues to work on but at
last reports no arrests had been made.

On Tuesday night Joe Grell drove
the school bus up by the house and
attached the radio wires to the bat
terry on the bus. Everything was 60
ing fine til1 Joe went out to get some
gasoline out Of the tank on the bus
and in getting out tripped on the
wires, pulling them loose and spilllng
the gas. The gas became ignlted,
from the sparks from the wires and
it looked for time like everything
was going to burn. The flames shot
high and soon attracted the attention
of the neighbors, who came rushing
to the scene, but by the time every
body got there Joe had the fire under
control and almost out, by the use OF
a fire extinguisher. The side of the
bus was scorched and also one side
of the house, but otherwise no dam
age was done.

w. H. Keal returned last Friday
from visit to his old home at Storm
Lake.. Iowa. where he had gone two
weeks previous to attend a family
reunion. 1t was Mr.. Keal's first visit
in twenty-five years and he says he
found the country and friends much
changed. Good roads and other
improvements had wiped out many
of the spots attached to his boyhood
memory, which gave the old place
a rather strange and unfamiliar ap-
pearance. He says that in spite of the
general drought last year through
the middle west, the Iowa farmers
raised good crops but the market
prices are the lowest in years. Farm
land values have also taken tumble
and farms are being offered now for
about a third of the sale values ten
years ago.

HORTICULTURAL SCHOOLS
JANUARY &C. 81

The three main Horticultural schools
to be held in the county will he held
during the week. of January 26 to 81,
inclusive. Definite arrangements have
not vet been made for the dates for
each community but these will be an
nounced next week as well as details
of the program for the two days in
each community.
We. are going to urgently request
that every grower in the community
in which the school is held and those
near enough from outside commun-
tiles who can get to the schools with
out too much loss of time, attempt
to get to these schools. We are con-
stantly receiving calls for individual
help on fertilization, or pruning and
other phases Of horticultural work
which can be answered just as we'll
at these general meetings. In this
way considerable time can be saved
by the agent to be given to other
projects instead of duplication Of work
on the same project.
Discussions at the meetings will be
on basic and fundamental lines and
problems and in no department. will
this be more true than in the soil
fertility and fertilizer work. There is
nothing about the fertilizer problem
which the farmers cannot grasp and
attendance at these schools should
enable him to have fund of infor-
nation which will be of considerable
assistance to him when fertilizer
statesmen are discussing fertilizers
with him. We are sure that attend
ance at these schools will be time ex-
ceedingly we'll spent on the part of
every grower in the community and
particularly urge your attendance.
