 The troublous times are hard on children in more ways than one.
 There are thousands on short ra- tions, ther are thousands who will be cold, but there are still more thousands who will feel a different effect from the depression for years to come if we are not care- full.
 Hunger and cold leave their mark, but unless real physical damage results, these things will be forgotten. The scars that re- main will be largely mental scars results of unpleasant scenes, ter rifying words at home.
 I remember when I was quite young we lived through panic. My father found himself in the same position that so many men are living through today.
 Tragedy Seemed Near Not understanding all about it, I only caught the high spots of the family conversations. It .kcjt me awake at night. saw his face and my mothers face in the dark ness of my room and knew that some terrible tragedy I could not quite make out was stalking our home.
 AS it turned out later, 1t did turn to a real tragedy, and yet the shock of what actually happened when it came did not stay with me as persistently through after years as the things that happened before it.
 The words interest" and notes" and unpaid bills" scared into my soul. "No orders," or didn't take in a cent today" were bogies that took every vestige of appetite away. I could not get lessons. I didn't want to go out on the street.
 Something followed me every where I went. A green shadow with a hand ready to bounce.
 As I look back see now that was selfish. My worry was not for my parents but for myself. Yet children are that way. They can be generous with things but mem tally and spiritually they have not learned the deep lesson of suffer- ing on account of others-not even for their parents.
 So deep was my impression In this black sea or trouble that can remem Der preclSely the odyS ""eH were good days, in which we came up for air, so to speak.
 A Brighter Day
 One of them happened one night when my father came home with a smile on his face. He had gotten extension on a note, and he had made a sale. I had on blue cnal- lie dress with tiny red dots. flew over to a neighbours house and not only told the news but skipped ana sang on my way there and home again. ,
 Perhaps our food was low. l don't remember. Perhaps the gas was shut off. Perhaps l neeoeo shoes and a warm coat. don't re- member. -,o
 But I turned into worrier, worrier of vague things I did not understand. My parents could not know that a mere child would be in agony about the despalrlns words. the sight, the frowns, or even the tears. Too few parents think of it today.
 If possible, I believe 1t is pest to keep the words of trouble away from children as much as is hu- manly possible.

A knock sounded against the door.
 "Phil," Joan said, and flew to meet him. Hes from out of town," she called back.
 Sue approved of him instantly.
 "I'm here for a business confer ence tonight" he explained to the girls. Then he turned to Joan. I'll be through at ten. May I come over?"
 "Of course" Her eyes were honest, though. They wanted him to come, but their eagerness didn't match his. He knew it. Sue could see that.
 When he was gone, and dinner was over, and the snow flakes were drifting against the window, Joan turned the radio until she found a dance orchestra whose music was so far away that it was very soft as it came across the night. But 1t grew too wistful. She turned it off. There was just silence and the cracking of log in the room. She dialed again. "I don't often get restless spells like this one," she said. "Usual- ly I'm perfectly happy to have Phil coming over, and Miles Rob- erts dropping in, but l can't get rid of a ghost of memory to- night. It doesn't hurt. It haunts. But it's so persistent" Where does it come from ?" Sally asked from her place among the cushions. .. "Venice." She found a station and was quiet.
 You should have drowned any ghosts in the Grand Canal before you left" Sue answered. You can't drown ghosts. They won't die."
 Was he a handsome ghost ?" Sally asked then. Tall and all the rest?" "Oh, yes, a perfect pattern with a gorgeous voice and heart that belonged to another girl. That is usually the way" "Not always" Sue answered. Anyway, isn't it supposed to be better to marry a man who isn't as keen about you as you are about him?"
 "Um-m." Joan was resting on the long studio couch by the fire. her chin propped in her slender hands. But the feminine attitude being what it is it hardly ever works out that way. Now it would if I married Phil. He's nice-but what's the fun of marrying one man and wanting another? No my dear. I'll stake it all' on TO- nance. Sorry, I'm a fool. I know. But have a hunch if I saw this creature I knew in Venice I might recover. Time does things makes double chins and takes off hair. But maybe it hasn't affected him."
 Suddenly she stopped talking. Her eyes widened. "Listen!" She sat erect. "Oh, of all the unbe- lievable things-oh, listen."

Creamed celery on toast with crisp broiled bacon or grilled tomatoes is acceptable for breakfast or luncheon. The English make a scalloped dish of celery, a little onion, macaroni and a white sauce that is piquant and unusual. There is velery loaf made with nuts and bread crumbs that is novel and relicious.
 In order not to break the rules of meal planning and repeat fiavors, do not serve cooked celery dish in the same meal in which celery is suer as relish or in the salad.
 While care should be taken that the pieces used for cooking are quite crisp, there is no objection to cooking the green, unbleached

That night Dudley in- sists on Dona marrying him in reality. She agrees to do it the next day.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER xxx
 Dona sat with her father for an hour. He was plainly agitated by Swergin's report but making an effort to conceal his feelings. She tried to keep from thinking of the ride she had promised to take that afternoon. She thought of Ball and wondered if Swergin and his men would ever be successful.
 Thinking of Ball kept Dona from to the panicky fear that tugged at her heart whenever she let her mind return to the pro- posed ride that afternoon. Ball evil dently was hard-riding, fast sr oting type, utterly fearless and a dead shot with gun. He would be as much at home in the rough country as wolf and twice as dangerous. She knew that Swergin and his crew of loggers were no match for such man.
 Finally Asper dropped off to sleep, snoring softly. His age was against him and he had to give in and rest though he had tried to keep awake. Dona stole softly from the room. She met the doctor at the door and he returned to the porch with her.
 twill it be all right for me to be away this afternoon?" she asked anxiously.
 The doctor nodded. Yes, but we have to keep that timber boss away from your father until l say the word."
 '1ll see Swergin," Dona prom ised. "I'll be back tonight" she addod.
 ."No hurry. Your father'h be fit as a river driver in few days"

VARIOUS WAYS
 TO USE CELERY.
By SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer

Celery is one of the most pop ular autumn vegetables. All through the fall and winter months this vegetable remains and appetizing. As an uncooked vegetable it makes an inviting re- fish that adds zest to any meal.
 But what becomes of the coarse outer stalks of a head of celery? Do you consign them to the gar bage san as worthless? Too often thois does happen and their possi- bilities as an excellent cooked vegetable are completely over looked.
 Cream of celery soup is flavor some and suitable for luncheon or dinner. Celery sticks are frit- ter-like connection that appeals when the meat course is light.

FALL IN RIVER FLOW
CUTS DOWN POWER OUTPUT

The load of power now being deliv-
cred by the Priest Rapids plant to
the Pacific Power e. Light Company
is averaging around 800 XVIII, &C
cording to Receiver Marvin Chase. The
cooler weather of the past week has
caused drop of several inches in the
flow of the Columbia river, which re-
duced the efficiency of the power
plant. With the advent of warmer
weather, which should bring about a
rise in the river, the load of energy
will be built back up again. Only one
of the generators is now in operation.
Work is progressing this week in re-
moving the old pipe in Lateral E OF
the irrigation system and replacing it
with new pipe. Although this old pipe
has been in the ground and In service
for about "a years, Mr.. Chase says it
shows remarkably little deterioration.
Other contemplated improvements to
the irrigation system will be under
taken a little later when the weather
moderates, Mr. Chase said.

Annual Spring
Cleanup Now
Under Way
SHADE TREES ON AVENUE ARE
TO BE GIVEN A SEVERE
PRUNING THIS YEAR

The pruning of the shade trees on
Federal Avenue and an annual spring
cleanup in the town were the two sub
jects that received the most attention
at special meeting of the White
Bluffs Commercial Club Tuesday eve
ming.
1t was urged that the trees this
spring be given rather severe prun-
ing in an effort to discourage, if not
eliminate, the red spider with which
they have been badly infested the last
two years. D. S. Wilkinson said that
he had given such treatment to one
of the trees in his yard with very sat-
isfactory results. A committee made up
of r. S. Reierson, j. M. Shinn and Mr.
Wilkinson was appointed to look after
the pruning of the trees and to for
mulate some plan for raising funds to
pay for the work.
The success of the annual cleanup
will depend in large measure on
the cooperation given by every resi-
dent of the town, not only in the
tidying up of their own premises but
of the vacant lots adjoining. In organ
izing for this work it was decided to
appoint two men for each block, whose
duty it will be to see that all the rub
Dish and trash in that block is either
burned or hauled away. Any resident
of the town who desires to know the
names of the two men in charge of
his or her particular block can secure
this information by calling Mr.. Will
kinson, secretary Of the club
In order that plenty of time be al
lowed to do thorough job it was de-
cided to fix Saturday, March 10, as the
final date for the cleanup. That's a
week from this coming Saturday and
that much time should give everyone
ample opportunity to do a thorough
outdoor spring cleaning.
The question of city dumping
grounds was also discussed at the meet
ing. 1t appears that the county has
provided such grounds but instead Of
using it, the trash has been dumped
all. over that particular neighborhood.
The grounds are in hollow south and
east of the old McCord Taylor orchard
and east of the road leading from
town to the d. j. Burch place If the
trash is dumped into the hollow it
will be out of sight from the road
and there is room enough there to
serve the town for years

| The regular meeting of the White
Bluffs Grange was held Thursday eve
ming, March 3. Miss Marguerite Jaeger
sent in her resignation as Flora" Miss
Jaeger lives at Vernita and because OF
the distance found it impossible to at

mated, was duly elected to fill the va
cancy.
After the business of the evening was
completed, Master L. w. Beldin gave
the meeting into the charge of the
lecturer Mrs. Strycker.
j. B. Tromanhauser who has knack
of finding out things, told us that our
past master, Sam Allard, was celebrat-
ing his birthday that day in quiet
manner and since he and Mr.. Allard
had been paired off" frequently and
were among the oldtimers, he present
ed him with box of Bose pears. The
box was promptly opened by Mr.. AL
lard and the treat was passed out to
the crowd, all voting the fruit to be
excellent and in good condition.
A report of the special Pomona
meeting held at Benton City at which
Brother Farmer National Grange lee
turer, was present, was given. State

the meeting, was unable to attend.
Local Master l.. w. Beldin, Sam AL

and Mrs. F. E. Strycker reported many
interesting items from Brother Farm

take thought on and profit by. both
in business acumen and social under
standing.

members of the White Bluffs Band
have kindly offered to attend and put
on a short program during the social
hour in the evening.
The Grange wishes to express its APP
probation for this generous offer. Mr..
English is deserving of much credit
for his labors with the band, more
than most of us appreciate. Succeed
ing in the making of band out of
boys and young men, most of whom
knew little or nothing of the rudi-
ments of music when. they began about
November Is, the result Of continuous
practice has turned out a band worthy
of the effort he has made.
Those who plan to attend the Po-
mona and can accommodate one or
more members of the band, please re-
port to Mr.. English.
Let there be a sufficiency of cars.
