Grange Report
BY Alice B. Ayers

The Finley Grange had pot
luck dinner at 6:3O for all former
and present Changers and friends.
About thirty-five sat down to the
well-filled tables which seemed to
have escaped the paralyzing hand
of "old man depression"
After very happy social time,
the Grange met in regular session.
Brother j. C. Swayze, deputy state
master, and son, Jack, were visit
ors. Brother Swayze told of the
progress made in the cooperative
gas plans.
The committee in charge had
purchased and hung the stage cur
tains and window draperies. The
dark red velvet makes beautiful,
rich hangings.
Brother William Stoops, our Sec
rotary, is i'll in the Veterans hos
pital in Walla Walla. He has had
his tonsils removed and was oper-
ated on for a growth on his leg.
He is reported as getting along
nicely.
One application for membership
was received. Harry Hedington has
recetly become a member.
The Grange very much appre-
ciates framed picture of George
Washington given us by Mr.. Ralph
Reed, editor of the Kennewick
Courier-Reporter, and the secre-
tary was instructed to express our
thanks to him.
The Grange went on record as
alterably opposed to a general
sales tax.
The dance committee reported
dances every two weeks. Besides
furnishing very pleasant evening
they are success financially.
An invitation was extended to
Pomona to meet with Finley eth
er in March or April as most suit
ed their convenience.
The lecture hour supervised by
our newly elected lecturer, Sister
Helen Masters, was well rendered
and entertaining.
Mr.. William Green of the High
lands, laid the plans for a cannery
before the assembly.

New Road Plans Follow the Sug-

Last week the Kennewick cham

blow at democracy by the resolu-
ton which was passed urging the
state to create consumers rather

ual labor instead of machinery on
the highway work. The action has
received the endorsement from
many different sections, including
Olympia.
This morning an advance copy
of substitute road bill to be in
PRODUCED into the legislature was
received from Senator Stinson.
The bill provides for the use of
manual labor both by the state and
county and abolishes the district
and county road levies, payment
for all road work to be made from
the gasoline tax receipts.
In these respects the bill fol-
lowed closely the recommendations
made. by the local club last week.
However, one serious objection has
been raised by the chamber in the
manner of allocating the funds.
The road committee recommended
to the club that a resolution be
passed explaining the local OBJ

GRASS MEN
RESPOND TO
PROPOSITION
Growers Pledge Portion of
Net Proceeds to Purchase
of Stock of Plant to Be
Started in Kennewick

The cannery proposition, which
has been started by several local
growers headed by w. S. Green,
is finding almost unanimous fav-
or with local growers. Following
meeting on the Highlands, Mr..
Green presented the plan to the
Finley Grange last week and will
explain the deal at a meeting of
the Valley Grange this week.
Later the plan will be explained at
Richland and White Bluffs and he
has the assurance that the matter
will also be presented at Pomona.
Briefly, the plan as now out
lined is for the growers to assign,
for the purchase of stock, ONE
quarter to on-half of the net pro-
ceeds from their cannery grass
for the current year. It is estimat-
ed that from $1,000 to $4,000
will thus be accumulated toward
a cannery fund. The committee has
assurance that an equal amount
may be expected in subscriptions
from the businessmen after the or
iginal fund has been raised.
No attempt has been made to
Influence or even suggest the use
of a selling agency. The orders
which the farmers are asked to
sign is an order on his agent, who
ever he might be, to pay to
trust fund a certain percentage of
his net returns from the cannery
grass only.
This money is to be held in trust
and when the plan is financed, the
stock will be issued for it. In the
event the deal falls thru the
money will be returned to the own
ers.
No arrangements of ay kind
have been made for the construc-
ton or operation of cannery.
This matter is to be left to the
stockholders to determine and the
work is not being fostered by any
group or selling agency. 1t is
simply an agreement by the grow
ers themselves to contribute in
stock certain percentage of their
cannery grass this year for the
purpose of securing local, home
owned cannery.
In Mr.. Green's talk he points
out the fact that the overhead
handling charges, transportation
and shrinkage on this years tom
mage will amount to more than the
percentage he is asking the grow
ers to contribute. Also he asks his
hearers to bear in mind that the
losses in cannery grass alone from
this district last year, is more than
twice the sum he expects to raise.
Growers who are interested in
the deal are asked to communicate
with Mr.. Green for details.

Unemployed Organize

At an organization meeting here
tonight fifty men signed the ini-
tial enrolment of the Unemployed
League of clinton county. The pur-
pose of the organization is for the
presentation of needs and griev-
ances and the general good of the
unemployed to the proper auth
critics. H. T. Springstead was
elected as temporary chairman,
and Ted Flesher as secretary.
The men organized for the pur-
pose of benefiting from the Re-
lief Commission recently appoint
ed by Governor Clarence ID. Mar
tin, under the auspices of the
present state administration.
Dan Hurley, who acted as or
ganizer urged the group to bring
all their questions to the organi-
cation for settlement as it would
stop street conversation and would
result in quicker and more effic-
lent action.
The next meeting is to be held
at the city hall this coming Satur-
day evening at 1880 for the pur-
pose of forming a permanent or
ganization and perfecting immed-
late plans.

The sPinafore'' performance
given last night by the Shubert
club was an unqualified success
from every standpoint. A good
house, including s'his sisters, and
his cousins and his aunts," enjoy-
ed a well-directed, excellently-
played and sung entertainment.
To most it was distinct sur
prise to learn that there was such
group of musical talent in our
community, all of the thirty-odd
voices being exceptional. Unusual,
too, was the directing. Walter
Stauffacher received hearty APP
plause from the audience on the
success of his work.
Ii there was an outstanding per-
Torrance, it was that of Francis
Mills in the role of Sir Joseph
Porter, K.C.B., First Lord of the
Admiralty. Mr.. Mills has an ex-
ceptionally pleasing voice and his
stage presence was perfect in the
part.
The whole performance was. an
excellent one and the community
looks forward to future entertain
ments by the same group.

A CALL TO ACTION

n All over the civilized world, the
W.C.T.U. will hold Frances Ward
Willard Memorial meetings during
month of February. Our purpose
in so doing is to call together all
white Ribboners" and friends of
the temperance movement that, to-
gether we may be enabled to cam
paign more effectively against the
liquor traffic. Our great leader,
Miss Willard, stood for "total abb
stinence for the individal and pro-
hibition for the state and nation.
Her dream has been only partially
realized, and we must unite in ac-
ton if we would bring a fuller
realization of that dream.
We owe it to ourselves as loyal
citizens, whose interests center in
the welfare of their homes and in
the protection of the morals of
their nation, to oppose and and
every measure which PROPOSES to
tear down the great work which
prohibition has begun.
But, our, efforts extend beyond
the eradication of liquor. In order
for us to practice policy which is
consistent with the great organi-
cation established by Frances Will
lard, we must oppose not only the
poison of alcohol, but also every
other poison such as cocaine, anti
toxins, serums, and those found in
cigarettes and cocoa cola which
lessen the resistance of the body to
disease. 1t is no longer necessary
for US to present arguments which
prove alcohol and opium belong in
are scientifically conceded, but
the class of poisons- these facts
the general public needs an awak-
ening as to the poisons which re-
side in these other connections
mentioned above.
We earnestly urge every "White
Ribboner" and every loyal citizen
to make a supreme effort in this
period of unsettlement toward the
end of frustrating the anti-prohi-
bition movement Let the local and
state and national officials know
where we stand; let us talk, work
and vote. Do not be a Stacked. Do
no allow others to carry the bur-
den of making your city, your state
and your nation better place in
which to live. Do your full share
in the fight, for only then can you
con cientiously enjoy improved
conditions.

CHAMBER SEEKS
FARM EXEMPTION
Ask Relief on Materials to Pro-
duce and Harvest the Farmers
Crops ....s

ra
In endorsing the substitution of
q blanket retail sales tax rather
than selective tax, the local
chamber aroused an adverse feel
ing by the grangers of the district
who feel that such a tax would i'm
pose an added burden upon agri-
culture. The situation was explain
ed at the regular meeting today by
j. C. SWayze.
Inasmuch as the clubs recon-
mendation had already been sent
in the matter received some dis
cussion. The general attitude of
the club was that no effort be left
unmade which would result in lift
ing from our agricultural district
any burden which such tax would
levy.
A committee was appointed to
recommend that none Of the ma
terials which go into the produc-
ton or harvesting of crops grown
within the state be covered by the
tax. In other words all fertilizer,
spray dope, box shocks, etc. be ex-
empted.
