convenient. However, the per-
feet way to acknowledge an ex-
preston of sympathy is for us
to write a note of thanks for
the coincidence message, whether
the message is a note or flowers.
These notes, written, a sentence
or two long, take only a minute
and are real messengers OF our
appreciation of the sympathy
and friendliness of our friends.
The Young Hostess
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
If a girl gives a party and
invites boys and girls who know
each other, is. it proper for the
girl giving the party to see that
each girl is called for by a
boy? Or should the boys and
girls come by themselves?
C.. o.
There isn't any reason why
the hostess should be expected
to make these plans.

When a person is spoken to

correct to say, II beg your par

Yes-or I'm sorry. I didn't

county commissioners during the
July session.
From the state Grange standpoint
he emphasized particularly the need
of highway commission bill, taking
the matter of the highway out of pol
itics as much as possible. He spoke
for attendance at the State Grange
at Etellingham, saying that they had
hoped before the depression to have
an attendance of 1000, but that at
this time they were hopeful Of at
least 1000. He touched briefly upon
the general agricultural and bust
ness situation in the east and west,
expressing the opinion that the west
was really in better shape than the
east at this time.
The County Agricultural agent gave
a talk during the afternoon session
upon volume of business as related
to farm income. 1t was pointed out
that only farmers with at least rea-
sona'bly large volume of business
were able to secure incomes suffi-
Gent to- make living conditions good.
The farm survey of this county shows
that the average labor income was
$694.OO. While this may look small
in comparison of this with labor in
comes in Skagit and Whatcom coun-
ties, instead they show that we are
ebove them, and thus that there are
areas which are in a worse condition
tlan we.
The fact that farm incomes varied
from a minus $1,000 to a plu.; 5000
shows that additional studies must
be made by the farm in order to be
of more assistance to the a., ricui-
ture of the county. The two farms
mentioned ABOVE were both farms
which were given over almost en-
tirely to apple production, the areas
being .somewheres near equal. The
fact that some of our leaders il. thot
have recently pointed out the need of
better systems of adjustment in the
distribution of incomes was point
cd out in its relation to the general
agricultural problem.
The Lecture Hour program in the
evening was in charge of the White
Bluffs Grange. The following pro-
gram was given.
Recitation of Welcome, Muriel Bel
den: tapping, Maxine Scovel land Dor
is Hi,lecek; guitar trio, Margaret
Holecek, Kathryn Kirby and Ollve

Smile" and "Lot's Of Lickings," Mrs.
l. B. Burns, accompanied by Ethel
Woods; solo, Archie Borden; duet,
Mrs Burns and Ethel Woods; stunt,
song, Sam Allard; address, State
Master Goss.
Master Goss during the evening
stressed particularly the need IF re-
duction in freight returns and the
side which the Grange had made be-
fore this. Also the general tax Sit
uation and need of Legislature to
shift tax burden to where it belong
ed, and also the need Of budget con-
troll measures.
