Dear Jane Jordan: am devoted read
er of your column and find your advice to
others has helped me MANY times. I Just
have read the letter OF a Bad-Boy- Trying
To-Be-Good. My dear, how I would like
to meet that fellow and give him piece
Of my mindl If you ask me, don't think
he is trying very hard to find what he
calls good girl.
I'll bet there is good girl right under
his nose, If he would just look around
little. Why is it that fellow wants to
run around and drink, smoke, carry on in
a ridiculous way. and then expect a good
girl to want him as husband?
From the way this fellow talks, I'm sure
that l wouldn't want him. I'm not what
you would call an angel, as he says, but
have lost many a boy friend because
couldn't do just as he said. Most girls
find out that the average fellow Of today
wants to 20 with a girl who is good sport
and will not spoil party. To be popular,
she will smoke, drink and dance till all
hours of the night and then, when she Is
ready to marry, no fellow wants her. be-
cause she is not a good grill
Men are the cause of 900 of thousand
Girls being what they are. Why don't men
get q little sense in their heads, too? I'd
like to show that fellow that girls can
talk something besides wild parties, rotten
jokes. and booze. ,,,,,r,,,-rx,

like to show that fellow that girls can
talk something besides wild parties, rotten
Jokes, and booze. ,.,,,,,,,--,,
Well, Bay Boy, you certainly have
put your foot in it with the ladies!
NV mail today is full of letters from
girls who comment on yours! Some
of them Sympathize with you and
others are just as mad as matters!
If you will send your address, 1 Will
forward these letters to you. 1t may
do you good to read them!
The girl of today, Bad Boy, is up
against it to know what to do. What
Miss Twenty says is perfectly true
The average young man is engaged
in the exciting pastime Of sewing
his wild oats, and he wants what ne
calls hot sketch" to play with e.
a girl who is q good sport and will
not spoil a party! He expects to kiss
her the first time he has a date
with her and goes about his crude
making with no more t1neSSe
than the fowls in the barnyard
show!
When the girl protests, as any
sensitive girl will, he has no time
for her. She is wash-out; old
fashioned; not normal; an icicle. II
she clings to her ideals, she is left
sitting on the shelf while other girls
fly around and have good time. If
she gives in, she is rushed for a
time by first one boy and then an
other, only to be dropped eventually
like hot potato and branded as
loose.
What would you do, Bad Boy, If
you were a girl? Perhaps you can
tell us why a man wants all of pri-
vileges of marriage without incur
ring its responsibilities, and then
when he is ready for responsibilities,
scorns the girl with whom he had
the privileges!
Again, Miss Twenty strikes twelve
with her remark that men are the
cause of 999 girls of every thousand
being what they are. for women
mould themselves to suit the men,
The main business of a womans
life is to charm some man into
marrying her. Therefore she strug-
giles not to be herself, but the
woman he hoped to find in her.
Now Bad Boy, tell us what you
think of all this!

STATE HELPS
TO GET MEN
BACK TO LAND
Land Department Makes Ex-
tensions to Renters; Ben
ton County has 33,907
Acres Leased for $3842

Olympia-If it's 'sback to the
land"-the state is doing its part
to sustain the movement.
The state land department lends
a ready ear to numerous tales of
woe daily received from those rent
ing state lands. The deserving ones
are regarded with extra time in
which to meet their obligations, &C
cording to land commissioner G..
". Savidge.
Altho rentals from state agri-
cultural and grazing lands have
decreased in the last year due to
fewer leases, the states "realters'
have taken an optimistic view
point.
"The number Of cancelled leases
is far below our expectations, "
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1931-11-26

said Savidge. ''Most Of the re-
quests for additional time to remit
rentals, came from wheat farmers
who awaited the rise in market
prices before their crops were
Sold"
The land commissioner said that
recent developments in the grain
market had noticeable effect on
payments. It was only a few days
after prices advanced that checks
were received from some of the
slower ones.
Latest figures on file with the
department showed that 636, 437
acres of grazing and agricultural
lands are under lease. The reve-
nues from rentals amounts ia
$160,14S annually, it was shown
Last year at this time, 692,94e
acres were under leases and $780,
|816 was received annually in rent
ais.
In Benton county this year, To-
tai acreage leased was 33,907 as
compared to 37,947 acres last
year. Revenues were $3842 this
year as compared to $4037 in 1880
Of the total area in leasehold-
ings, in the county, 1854 acres
were in agricultural lands and 3d.
142 acres were for grazing.
Savidge said it was hardly pos
sible to draw any distinction be-
tween agriculturists and husband
men on the ability to meet their
obligations.

tracts for truck garden purposes

This argument was effective. The

they are, far, from home. penniless,

In an address before the Massaciau-
eetts Federation of Labor last week
William Green president Of the Ameri-
can Federation, warskd of "a rebellion
OF the army of unemployed which will
upset our political system unless In
dustry and GovernSfent cooperate with
labor." Mr.. Greeh is an astute labor
executive He has consistently main
tained the conservative policies of his
predecessor, the late Samuel Gompers.
Organized labor in the United States,
under President Green's administra-
tion, has steered sane and straight
course. Nothing in the movements
whole history has. become 1t more than
the fiint-faoed hostility it offers to the
efforts Of alien elemsnts, like Russian
communism, to incite class war in this
country and exploit the industrial de-
precision for subyersiye purposes
To Judge by the past year and a
half of business crisis and social un-
rest. there would seem to be little fear
that Mr.. Green's forebodings of future
possibilities win be borne out. Ameri-
can labor since the Fan Of 1923 has
given an uncommonly fine exhibition Of
Eelf-controI under trying circumstances.
strikes have been conspicuous by their
absence, broadly speaking. A couple Of
months ago there was published in The
Sunday star striking utterance by 3
Federal oficial intimately identified
With this Governments efforts to COM
bat unemployment. He said:
Compared with previous depressions,
the important aspect of our present
woes Is the common realization by CAPT.
tai and labor that they are in the same
boat. The evidence OF sincere EFFORTS
by employers to maintain wage rates and
Nv trade unions to keep the industrial
ueace suggest some results which con-
trast In significant fashion with those
OF earlier crises. ANY one who Is mid
die-aged can remember the organized
demonstrations of the !. w. WIS IN 1914
ard the demonstrations OF the unem-
ployed in cities like New York, where
they crashed the gates Of churches in
order TO and Q place to sleep. Even in
1921 there was plenty OF agitation and
some violence.
Continuing his comparison, this au-
tllcrity said:
During this, the most serious 6epresr
sion Of them all, there seems to be .
complete absence Of subyeFsive actiyi-
ties The letters which come to the
Government from al parts Of the coun-
try regarding unemployment and busi-
meas Sterilization carry complaints, SuR-
Restione, appeals and denunciati0nS.
But they show an almost total absence
OF anything In the nature OF popular
distTust Of our institutions. It seems

college Reds. that our only Tevolu-
tionaries are to be found.
