or small amounts of dark balance
large areas of light. In this respect
complementary colors produce such
strong contrasts that only small
touch of bright opposite color is
needed to give balance.
"Colors or values can be balanced
by repeating some of the same colors
or values in various parts of an ar
rangement. This repetition, sometimes
called crossing, has tendency to
give a feeling of rest. Colors should
also be arranged so that the eye can
move easily from one to~ another.
When colors are skillfully repeated in
several places in a room, the eye trav-
els rhythmically as it follows these
colors. Rhythmic color also results
from the gradations in hue, value, CT
intensity"

All CLUB LEADERS MEETING

At a meeting of the leaders and
some of the parents held during the
afternoon of the county All club pic
mic day, plans for next years picnic
and the 1881 Achievement Day, which
will be held in Kennewick, were dis
cussed. The leaders report that the
response to club work is better this
year than last due they feel, to the
fact that parents are more cooperative.
In All club work, as in everything else,
the parents attitude has much to do
with what the children get out of the
work. The best club work is being done
in the communities where the leaders
have the backing of the parents 1t is
this backing which always makes the
leaders efforts more effective and it
is to the thousands of volunteer local
leaders that we must give much of
this credit for the unprecedented sue
cess of 4-H club work in the United
States $4,000 members in 1890. They
deserve our loyal support. Without it
they can do little because they work

cooperation from the home. Their only
remuneration is in knowing that they
have helped the boys and girls of their
communities. Don't forget to say
thank you" in one way or another.
There are three regularly organized
clubs in the White Bluffs community
Mrs. Shinn has group of nine high
school girls who are organized as a
sewing club. Garnett Coleman has II
little girls in breakfast club and
Mrs. Hemker has nine girls in the din
ner club which is the third year of the
meal preparation project. Because Miss
Coleman has left for Seattle, Mrs. Nc

centration than the other three ele-
ments, sodium will monopolize the alb
sorhing surface of the soil. However,
this is usually slow process. The
finer the soil particles, the more of
the element is held in the soil. In or
binary fertile soils calcium monopol-
ICES from seventy to ninety per cent
Of the absorbing surface of the soil,
magnesium, five to ten percent, and
sodium and potassium less than one
per cent. When the soil contains an
abundance of absorbed calcium it is
open, mellow, easily worked and the
water penetrates freely. The opposite
of this condition occurs when the cal
cium is replaced by sodium, causing
puddled, impervious soil not well
adapted to farm use and usually called
"alkali''. Therefore the alkali condi-
ton is developed because the concen-
tration of more soluble sodium in
creases enough to replace the much
needed calcium. This exchange by So
dunn is brought about by two things,
namely, insufficient irrigations that do
not penetrate the soil deeply enough
but still keep it wet, and poor drain
age, which keeps the soil wet causing
increased concentrations of sodium.

Dalllia plants produce better blooms
if the early buds which develop dur
ing hot weather are removed.

The first few seedlings of crimson
clover on field make better crops Of
seed than are produced after clover
has grown on the field for several
years. This is probably consequence
OF the accumulation in the soil of too
much nitrogen which results from
turning under the stubble or the en-
tire crop. Too much nitrogen causes
an overgrowth Of stems and leaves at
the expense Of the seed crop.

For several years past the WOman'S
Club has annually collected one OF
more barrels of canned fruits, jellies,
and preserves for the Washington
Children's Home. This year, in re-
spouse to a request, Mrs. w. j. Kin
caid has received three boxes of emp
ty jars from the Home, for commun-
ity distribution.
One has been turned over to the
members of the Presbyterian Sunday
school and the filling Of another box
of the jars will be assumed by the
Club members. The third is at the
Bank, where those generously inclined
may find them. After all are filled
and returned this fall, they will be

If you are not a member of the
Club or Sunday school and wish to
help in this most important work. call
at the Bank and ask Mrs. Kincaid for
any number of jars you wish to fill.

The party ended with motor boat

Housing animals in large groups is
a factor tending to produce disease in
domesticated animals, according to the
vision. This is one of a group of dam
gers which do not affect wild animals
Under domestic conditions, if one
animal becomes i'll with contagious
disease, the ailment may easily spread
to a large number in short time.
Wild animals are not closely associ-
ated and for that reason disease does
not spread from one to the other so
rapidly Animals of certain species in
stinctively fear the body of a dead ami
NAL and refuse to go near it. 1t seems
apparent that nature has endowed
these animals with the instinct to pro-
tect them from contagious that might
be transmitted from the body of the
dead animal to the living.
Domestic animals live in groups, and
one generation after another is kept
in the same barn and in the same
farnlyard; this practice easily makes
the premises into hotbedsi of infection
1t is not uncommon to see such dis
eases as anthrax, calf pneumonia, foot
rot, garget and other infections af-
fecting a large number of animals in a
single herd when these animals are
kept on contaminated premises. Ex-
posures of this kind do not affect the
wild animals because they do not come
back to the same spot day after day.

One hundred-seventy club boys and
girls, their leaders and parents all en-
joyed an all-day picnic in Prosser
Park on Friday, July 81. All but four OF
the 81 clubs in the county were rep
resented.
There was lots of pep in spite of
the heat, due no doubt to the fact
that the days activities were we'll
planned and executed under the direc-
ton of Miss Elsa Brogunier of Ken
neWick. Miss Brogunier has had spe-
cial training in leading recreational
activities and is employed by the Ken
newick Kiwahis club to supervise the
playtime held every afternoon at the
Washington school. The Kiwanians
very generously loaned her to the All
club boys and girls for their play day.
After an hour and half of games
the frequently heard question (When
do we eat?) was answered at twelve
thirty with most bountifu lunch
topped off with generous servings of
ice cream and cake.
When do we swim?" couldn't be an
swered until three o'clock after so
much lunch The interim was given
over to quiet games and All club

line was formed for pool tickets and
lightning changes were made into
swimming suits followed by joyous
jumps into the pool from which they
were extracted with some difficulty at
4:3O.

And when Thanksgiving came,
AS was our usual habit,
The housewife prepared the meal;
Mince meat was made of Jack rabbit.
But think of all the hardships,
To man and beast most CALLING,
Was through the heat and dust,
That awful water hauling.
For water everything suffered,
Much more than you can think;
For even the dog was given
Water from the wash pan to drink
We often gathered round
And sang a good old song,
And for one am mighty glad
That to these pioneers I belong.
Again I have ridden by
And noted each deserted place,
Recalled each neighbours name,
Thought of the things they had to
face.
We had no graveled roads,
No fine upholstered car,
No radio to listen in
Bring music from afar.
But now these things have come to
us,
And yet we ask for more,
For now we're asking Congress
To bring water to the door.
For we live in the dry land area
In the heart of the Columbia Basin,
The future place to build home;
So bring us the water and hasten.
We care not how we get it,
I From Albani Falls or Dam Site,
It's water we're asking for,
Which is no more than our right.
To those who live in Seattle,
The city of the Northwest,
We are asking you to join us,
And help us along with the rest.
For you will help yourselves,
For we will build homes without
number,
And you from the old Coast region,
Can sell your shingles and lumber.
To Jones and Dill,
And Summers, and Sam B. Hill(
We're asking you to help us,
And do it with a right good will
We're sending you back to Washington
To represent our people there,
So take off your coat and roll up your
sleeves,
Show us you'll do your share.
Tell to the Nations foremost men,
OF the hardships we all endure,
Ask them to give us the water,
That our homes may be secure.
Tell them of this fertile land,
OF the things we could grow,
OF the trees, flowers and gardens
Could we turn tap and let the wa
ter flow.
Tell them of the things we could raise
In this great land SO fine,
Which to the struggling farmer,
Would be as good as any gold mine.
You say you have no money,
Why make that your plea,
You raised money in plenty,
For Gold Star Mothers to cross the
sea.
So give us the money for water,
To provide the comforts of life
For our dear ones still living,
Be it sweetheart, mother or wife.

The Fur Will Flv

Last session Of congress It was the
tariff and this time it will be taxes.
One faction, composed largely OF
Democrats but aided by Senator
Watson. Republican senate leader,
wants to let things alone.
Another group, apparently led by
the president, is In favor Of doing
something to get the income In lite
with the expenditures. Indications
are the administration favors q sales
tax on non-essentials
A third group, also composed OF
Democrats and some Republicans
wants to whoop up the income and
inheritance taxes.
With such a three-sided alignment,
1t appears that plenty Of fur will fly
in Washington this winter.
The tariff Is interesting but 1t
hardly is as personal Is taxes. That
is a subject which hits every citizen
right smack In the hip-pocket-and
how he feels the blow.
Indications are that the tariff fight
will be just a little love spat wher
compared to the tax battle now
ahead.

have the edge. OF all the schemes

The treatment OF carriers, while
not very severe, is q rather laborious
and difficult task. It has been found
that infected tonSils ire particularly

diphtheria organisms are carried.
Hence removal Of the tonsils Is
done in such cases, and frequently

it becomes necessary day after day

cases in which the children contin-

The use Of antitoxin to overcome
this type Of infestation, rather than

opposed to the poisons produced by
the diphtheria organism rather than
