LOng-HandIed Br0On1S ReStfuI

NEW YORK, March Slime to
IN spring clean house! And"
somebody is sure to ask, what's
that got to do with fashion," A
great deal. There are fashions in
cleaning equipment as well as in
clothes. And the present-day fash
ion is for energy-saving brooms and
brushes and pals.
Let's see how easily 1t can be
done.
First look over the rugs before
they're beaten or vacuumed to see
if there are any stains. For here's
a set of cleaning fluids for the re-
moval of different kinds of spots.
If Molly has dropped her bread
and jam and Johnny came scuffing
in with muddy feet, here's a re-
mover for each of those blemishes.
And other bottles in the set hold
removers for other kinds of spots.
For Cleaning Walls
Rugs up, let's get the winters
dust off the walls. One Of those
long-handled brooms with an end
of lambs wool is just the thing to
do it quickly =. easily.
The brush reaches clear up to the
ceiling; swishes over the tops of
doors (and how dust can collect
thereD and let's almost none of the
dust escape into the room.
Next the floors. And Just in case
some of the wall dust has reached
the floor, ''once-over" with long
handled soft brush is a good idea.
incidentally the best of these
floor brushes are arranged SO the
handle can be inserted on either
side Of the brush. And that's econ
omy as it means equal wear on both
the brush sides.
Little Bending
Notice how little bending and
stretching you have to do with
modern cleaning equipment? Even
the dust-pan now is long-handled.
The kind that tips up when you
lift it from the floor, depositing all
dust in the bottom of the pan where
it can't roll out, is certainly a fine

If you plan to wash your floors,
self-wringing mop-long-handled

handle and the excess water is
squeezed out.
How easy modern cleaning

arranged. The Scouts wish to ex-
press their appreciation for the
splendid patronage and help re-
ceived.
While the Scouts more than did
their share with their contribution

very decided need for bedding and
mems underwear, according to Mr..
Peters who is appealing for con-
tributions OF these two articles
particularly.

New State Laws Take
Effect This Afternoon

Since two o'clock this afternoon,
the state of Washington has been
without liquor laws! Except, of
course, those still on the federal
books.
1t is legal now for druggists to
sell whiskey upon a doctors pre-
scription-and it is legal for the
doctor to so prescribe. legal, also,
for the patient" to have the rem
edy on hand.
Looking up and down the cutters
on both sides of the main street
feat easily accomplished this
nippy afternoon the inquiring re-
porter failed to see a single sot.
The fact that the doctors and drug
gists have failed as yet to secure
their federal permits may have
had something to do with the
case.
Gov. r. H. Hartley this after
noon made the proclamation which
put the measures recently passed
by the voters into effect, including
the income tax law, game control,
4O-mill tax limit, etc.

Covering 40 States; Enjoys
Chicago Visit

Kennewick's 4-H club chsmp-
ion, Miss Lois Brue, who returned
Tuesday from her trip to Chicago,
lost out on grand championship
mostly on account Of a difference
of four dollars in cost Of the out

tested and It required much de-
on the part Of the judges

sas, whose total expense was the

tional contest.

expense Of which Is borne BY 9 Chi
cago mail order house. Each Of tho
contestants in the national style
show is also presented with
prizes for their work. Miss Brue
received q beautiful wrist watch.
Insofar as workmanship, fit, APP
preparedness to the occasion ana
other factors entering into the
competition, Miss Brue apparent
ly was equal to the winner. Total
cost Of the outfit determined the
award, Miss Brue's figure being
higher than the winners.

TWO CANDLES
ADORN CAKE
AT PLOWMANS
Popular Restaurant to Cele-
ibrate Start of Third Year
in New Location; Has Es-
tablished line Reputation

Saturday of this week Bert
iPlowman will celebrate his second
birthday. Second, not because he
was born on leap year or any such
silly circumstance, but as COM
pletion of two years of business
in his present location.
For several years, Plowman's
was conducted in small frame
building, since demolished, down in
the next block. Two years ago, as
an expression of his faith in the
country and because he felt that
the town was entitled to an up-to-
date eating place, he moved into
the Hover block. Here he OPEN
ed with new fixtures turnout, his
cafe and confectionery being
equipped with every modern con-
venience.
The place at once assumed a
commanding position as one of the
finest eating places between Spo-
kane and Yakima. His service has
been of the finest and he has kept
his quality high. The town has re-
ceived no small measure of praise
due to his establishment.
In celebration of the event, Mr..
Plowman has arranged a special
menu for Saturday. As an indica-
ton of their personal interest and
as an act of appreciation, practic-
ally the entire group of local bus
inessmen will make it point Sat-
urday to bring their families to
Plowman's for dinner. The gener-
public is showing, also, an inter

CANNERY AT
WALLA WALLA
MAY HELP US
Outlet for Local Grass VIII
Be Provided by Enlarged
Plant; Manager Tells of the
Problems of Operation

The new cannery at Walla Wal
la is counting on securing consid-
cradle tonnage this coming season
from this territory, according to
statement made before the To-
cal chamber of commerce this noon
by Manager Burk, who came to
explain to our citizens the advant-
ages of the new plant, for which
the campaign for financing is now
under way.
That four principal elements are
necessary for the successful opera
ton of cannery is the contention
of Mr.. Burk who explained in de-
tail what had been accomplished
during the past year at Walla Wal
la. First, location of the plant in
q producing area where quality
can be obtained quickly and cheap
~. For such articles as can be
handled in his plant, Mr.. Burk
claimed an ideal location. Quality
produce grass, berries, cherries,
prunes and pears can be secured
here and be ready for processing
within "a hours.
Second, plant sufficiently well
equipped, with both machinery and
experience to maintain the quality
Of the finished product. Third, q
marketing outlet and lastly sur
ficient funds.
The enlarged plant which is be-
ing started in Walla Walla will
supply all of these essentials he
claimed and further stated that
that outlet should prove of value
to this section until such time as
q local plant could be secured. His
talk was very interesting and ne
went into great detail as to the OPP
GRAFTON Of modern cannery. A
special meeting of the committee
from the local club which has had
the cannery matter under consid-
GRAFTON was held Immediately fol-
lowing the noon luncheon. Mr..
Burk gave this committee some
additional information.
Since the Sunnyside cannery
burned last summer, cannery
outlet for the local grass in par
ticular, has been deemed neces-
sary. Consideration of the Walla
Walla plant is under way.
Former Mayor C. A. Crawford
was installed as president of the
chamber at the meeting this noon
as was also Herman Schmidt as
vice president and G. 81. Shanafelt
as treasurer.

TAX PAYMENTS
CONSIDERABLY
UNDER USUAL
Oyer Half Million Current De-
linquencies Certified; Big
Portion is Railroad Levy;
Real Estate Better Off

Tax collections for the last pay
ment ending December / were con-
siderably less than those for the
same period last year, according
to information recently given out
at the treasurer's office in Pros
ser.
The December payments this
year totaled $88,045.75, according
to Deputy Louis p. Kelly, while
last year the amount collected on
the December payment was $114,-
600.
Nearly 100000 of the certified
current taxes totalling $1,000, 900
went into the delinquent column,
Mr.. Kelly said. That includes real
and personal property, irrigation
and drainage assessments.
More than half the real estate
taxes have been paid, Kelly claim
ed. Unpaid railroad taxes account
for much of the delinquent taxes.

MERCHANTS TO
GIVE ARTICLES
TOCUSTOMERS
last Goodwill Auction to be
wednesday, Dec. q, when
Many Pieces of Merchan-
disc Will Be Given Away

A good show at the local theatre
and truckload of merchandise to
be donated by the merchants OF
Kennewick will feature the last
Good Will Auction to be held this
winter. The date has been set for
Wednesday, the 21st, and patrons
Of local business establishments
who are cooperating toward max
inp this windup day gala event
are urged to attend and participate
in the events.
While no definite bookings are
available, the management of the
theatre assures the merchants
that one of the latest releases will
10 shown. A committee from
among the merchants, whose
names are listed on the back Of
the little green scrip, is selecting
the merchandise which will be
auctioned off.
It is likely that the auction will
be held indoors this time and H.
S. Hughes, the auctioneer is prac-
ticing nightly for the big event.
The auction is a mutual profit
sharing stunt in which most of
the Kennewick businessmen are
cooperating in the effort to ex-
press to their customers their APP
probation for their patronage.
Rather than making the stunt a
drawing or prize event, the plan
Of issuing the scrip enables the
holder to make his own selection
from among the articles which the
merchants are giving away. At the
same time the fun of participating
in the auction enlivens the pro-
ceeding.
Ask for the scrip with every
purchase. The merchants want you
to have it--and the more you get.
the more you get Wednesday at
the sale.

CAN'T DRINK
OURSELVES OUT
OFDEPRESSION
Congressman Summers Says
Congress Should Center
Activity on Relief of the
Country's Farmers

"Not liquor but a profitable
price for farm products is the first
big problem this Congress should
consider" said Congressman John
w. Summers of Washington in dis
GUESSING the Immediate Legislative
program today.
"This is fundamental if we would
solve the unemployment problem
and start the wheels of industry
and commerce.
There has to be q starting
point. In this country prosperity
springs from the SOIL" said Rep
resentative Summers, lifetime far
mer and member of the Agricul-
tural Appropriation Committee Of
the House.
eff the farm problem were at
tackled by the Speaker and other
leaders who now control Congress
with the the zeal it merits, we
could soon be on the road to a real
economic recovery. Why not in
still hope and confidence in thirty
million farm. people by January 4.
"We can't borrow, nor drink
ourselves out of this depression.
Only by increasing the buying
power of forty million people who
depend on agriculture can we start
the wheels Of progress turning
and instill life into the commercial
fabric of America. What may be
done or should be done with alco-
hoI later is problem am not
discussing. But the major prob
lem affecting the pocketbooks Of
all of the people now is the agri-
culture problem. Till this is solved
all other problems sink to insight
icance. The price of wheat, cotton,
corn, wool, alfalfa, fruit and dairy
products touch the spending pow
er of every farmer, the buying
power of every laboring man and
the money till of every merchant
and banker from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and from Canada to
the Gulf.
"A simplified plan of making the
tariff effective on major farm pro-
ducts has recently been suggested
which does not lay burden on the
Federal Treasury 1t would in
crease the price on home consum-
ed wheat about forty cents per
bushel and other major comrnodi-
ties in proportion. Any plan adopt
ed should embrace crops now in
the ownership of the farmers, 9TH
erwise relief will come too late
for vast members.
"Of two things am convinced"
said Congressman Summers, sfirst
a rational, workable plan that will
not lay draft on the Treasury
nor disturb cooperative nor indie
pendent buying and selling should
be the first and major program
of Congress. Second, all other eco
nomic programs will fail till agri-
culture again assumes its rightful
place in our nation

Sewer Outlet Work is
Completed by the City

City street crews have complet-
ed laying close to 800 feet of new
sewer pipe along the highway be-
tween here and Pasco according
to street commissioner, Gus
Henke.
The work took close to a month
to complete, and gave employment
to crew of Is men. Henke said
the old pipe under the highway
crumbled and was causing the road
bed to sink, and would have brot
dangerous damage to the concrete
highway. Most of the pipe had to
be replaced bytunnelling under the
concrete roadbed, and supporting
the soft dirt and mud in much the
same fashion that mine shafts are
supported.
A Waterman to direct traffic
around the blocaded highway had
to be kept on guard night and day.
