A TALK ON MARKETING

Mr.. Barbee and horticulture class
of high school had the good for
tune of listening to talk on
marketing November Is by Mr..
Lampson. He explained the three
ways Of marketing:
Sold on consignment which the
shipper delivers the carload and
the concern at the other end takes
the car and sells the produce at
which price they think is correct,
taking out their commission for
taking care Of the produce. The
shipper has no voice in what price
the produce is sold.
2-Sold on delivery: The ship
per must pay express and has to
stand any loss but the produce is
sold directly to the buyer.
Sold fob: The car of pro-
duce is sold to the buyer at source
of production and buyer stands ex-
press charge and loss if any.
The shipping company hires
brokers on a 40 per cent commits
sion to keep track Of all whole
sale buyers in their section of the
country and sell cars for theship-
per.

the two teams played three games,
the first two resulting in scoreless

PROGRESS

Almost everyday gives rise to
some form of advancement in or
around school. One Of the latest
evidences is the marked increase in
social organizations, especially
among the girls.
The "Senoritas" were formed so
long ago that they have become
almost a social landmark. Shortly
after school started the "Junior-
cites" were organized. And the
latest on the list is club of Soph-
omore girls. The officers recently
elected are: President, Edna Good
night; vice president, Ruth Mitch
ell; secretary-treasurer, Rosalie
Whitney. A social and business
meeting was held Friday night at
Helen Hembree's home.
The name, as yet, has not been
broadcast. We expect the aFresh :
cites" will be the next step in the
social circle.

FOOTBALL SEASON CLOSING
WITH CLASS GAMES

AS football season draws to a
close three contests Of unusual
interest are to be played between
the classes Of the high school to
determine the champion class. On
Monday the freshmen play the
sophomores in the first round. ON
Tuesday the juniors and seniors
will engage in struggle to de-
termine the victor in the second
round. After one day of rest the
two winning teams will do battle
to decide the championship team
of the school. These contests will
undoubtedly bring some new and
unexpected talent into the field.
The juniors and seniors have
strong squads and either of these
will be the favorite to win.

ment of Mr.. Muldrow as superin-
tendent. / am voter and heavy
tax payer under this ditch for 26
years and as such want to know:
Why this particular election
is of so much more important than
any of our former elections. 2nd-
Why this election is to be a hot
one? 3rd-Why the active interest
in this election on the part of nom
voters in the City of Kennewick ?
The editorial further stated that
Mr.. Johnston has given a great
deal Of time and thought to the
affairs of the district, more than
any man should be expected to
give; also it is time to relieve him
of this thankless job. Has Mr..
Johnston expressed a desire to be
relieved? Has he stated that he is
weary of the job and wishes to be
retired as director? Has he ever
been consulted in this matter?
Now it looks to me like this: If
the coming election is so import
ant, it would be hazardous step
to retire an experienced and cap
able man and put in his place
man of little or no experience con-
corning the work of director.
No matter how fine a man he
might be otherwise, or in what
part Of the community he might
reside. Mr.. Johnston has been a
director in this district for many
years. No other man under this
system has had the experience he
has had.
Would we under similar circum-
stances take such step in any
other line of work? Would we think
of retiring capable superintend-
ent of our schools. man who un-
derstands his work, is capable and
experienced Instead we would do
all in our power to retain such a
man.
The Irrigation question is just as
vital to many of us farmers as are
the schools or any other question,
because if we farmers go under
the schools and the City of Ken
newick go with us. On account of
the low price of farm products and
the high tax many farmers are
right now standing on slippery,
uncertain ground.
But why try to eliminate Mr..
Johnston as candidate to. succeed
himself? Also why introduce the
uestiep Of geography. He did not
queer the geographical situation.
Even if geography ought to, at
times, be introduced at an election
of directors, is now the time to
take that into consideration when
the coming election is of so much
Importance Why set aside abil-
ity and experience for little mat
ter of geography?
Mr.. Johnson has been fair and
square in the discharge of his
duties as a director, endeavoring
to hold down expenses and at the
same time furnish efficient serv-
ice.
The question for us waterusers,
farmers and taxpayers to consid-
er now is, shall we at the coming
election select for director a man
of ability and experience, or give
our attention to geography and
little or no experience? Taking in
to consideration the activities on
the part of some people to de-
feat Mr.. Johnston for reelection
one is compelled to ask have they
an axe to grind? Is there a hidden
purpose to be served?
