SUGGESTIONS FOR THE
FISHING SEASON

With the open season for
game fish only few days of.
May rs, the following sug-
gestiOns are made in order to
increase the sport of angling:
Don't exceed the daily lin
IL.
Don't use heavy tackle
use light tackle and get the
complete thrill of fishing.
Don't forget to display your
license button.
Don't forget to take your
boy along fishing. The lessons
which he will learn while
fishing will have an educa-
tiOnal value which he cannot
obtain in the school room,
strengthening his ties of fell
lowship with his Dad and the
great outdoors. The father
who Is a pal" to his boy,
need not worry about his
boys pals"
Don't take undersized fish
return them carefully to
the water with wet hands.
Don't fish for little fish
give them a chance to grow
up. BY returning fish, sport
is assured for a later day.
Don't let the fool rock the
bOat-the other fellow may
be drowned"

Chief Justice Hughes has appeal
ed to the public to insist upon law
enforcement.
In a speech before the American
Law Institute. he said the pri-
mary need is a robust civil senti-

the making of laws and impartial
ity in their execution, which is the
determined foe of graft and every
form of official delinquency as well

COUNTY HEADS
ASK HIGHER
ALLOW ANCES
Increase of $4,000 Brings Cost
Cost of Operation to 100000
for Next Year; INDECENT Fund
Still Largest Single Item

With lowered valuations, much
smaller stocks and the forty-mill
limit hanging over their heads the
county commissioners are going to
have to whittle their pencils to an ex-
tremely sharp point this year when
they finally adopt the budget for next
year. And to top it all, half of the de-
partments have asked for increases
for the coming year.
The preliminary budget was con-
sidered at the regular meeting this
week. 1t showed an increase of $751;
476.52 over the amount allowed for
last year. The total asked by the de-
partment heads is .$103,699.78.
Half of the department heads asked
for increases, five filed estimates the
same as for the current year and five
indicated they could get along with
less money. The largest increase was
in the budget for INDECENT relief, as
the sum asked was $50, 1922 COM
pared with $4,000 in 1884.
Increases Asked
Departments asking increases and
the amounts for the two years with
the 1885 figures listed first are:
Clerk-auditor, $S403 and $7296.20;
commissioners, $2725 and $3.50;
courthouse, s3525 and s2755; equali-
cation 1856 and $500; horticulturist,

yanced expenditures, $500; state ex-
aminer, $500; health department, $3.50
and justice court, 5000.
The health budget will be changed

county nurse as was requested by
women's organizations and the Ken
newick Kiwanis club. The INDECENT
soldiers budget has not been filed, bur
the current budget calls for $1,000.
Two of the road districts, Nos. 2
and 8, have filed budgets and in No

TOM CODE is
FINDING FAVOR
WITH GROWERS
Members Find Agreement Sup
ported by Majority of Grow
ers; Few Violations Being
Prosecuted to Hold Prices

Growers and dealers are generally
pleased with the operation of the Ore
gon- Washington melon and tomato
marketing agreement. This was
shown in a complete investigation
made by Morton Tompkins, chairman
of the control committee of the agree
ment and II. G. Hawkins, manager.
The agreement which was formed IN
der the agricultural adjustment acts
of the two states has complete power
to set and has set minimum prices on
all melons and tomatoes sold in Ore
gon and Washington.
"The agreement is being received
better and more enthusiastically than
we had expected" said Mr.. Tompkins.
"In many cases growers were object
ing to it because they did not fully un-
derstand it. Once it was explained,
these men became enthusiastic boost
ers. Many growers have received
more for their crop to date this year
than during the whole season of 1888
eve have had few cases of vio-
lation of the agreement and the guilty
ones will be prosecuted. Growers in
every district of the two states have
shown a willingness to cooperate.
reports of wilful dumping are
grossly exaggerated" said Mr.. Temp
kins. "These reports have been prin-
cipally from individuals who have at
tempted to buy up distressed merch-
andise at a price far below cost OF
production. Such practice tends to
beat down the price to where in many
cases growers do not even get costs
of crates. Under the present market.
ing agreement minimum prices arc
maintained. When there's more mer-
chandise on the market than can be
consumed the. grower takes the loss
himself on that particular batch OF
fruit or tomatoes giving it to char.
ity. This giving to charity is the
dumping which has been criticized BY
DIRECTORS.
"Not only are the growers satisfied
but brokers and produce men are very
willing to cooperate with the agree.
ment. Another indication that the
agreement is operating successfully
is the fact that the price of melons
and tomatoes have risen above the
minimu mprices set at the height Of
the season."
"The minimum price on packed
crates now is 40 cents

NO CHANCE TO
G EFT JOBSAT
COULEE DAM
workers All to Be Selected from
MRS Records in Several Parts
OF State; to be Called as Need
ed for Work +

Workers on the Grand Coulee pro-
Ject will not be hired at the dam. ac-
cording to Col. Henry M. Waite, Dep
uty A Administrator, PWA. Persons
secured through the National Reem-
ployment service must be registered
in the county of residence, and refer
red from that county to the project.
Referring to recent letter, widely
quoted throughout the stae, Col. Waie
said nothing in this statement alt
ers the provisions of the National In
dustrial Recovery Act or rules and
regulations Of PWA." The Recovery
Act provides for preference in en-
ployment for qualified workers who
are bona fide residents of the politi-
cal subdivisions and-or in which a
PWA project is located.
There has been no recent change
in either the rules or the practice fol-
lowed in selecting workers for the
Grand Coulee Project" according to
S. E. Hutton, State Director of the
National Unemployment Service in
this state. "The regulations are not
generally understood. The law re-
quires that contractors take, employees
first from the counties in which the
work is being done, to the extent
that qualified workers are available
there, then from other counties in the
state. In each group, qualified exser-
vice men with dependents have first
rights. MRS must follow PWA rules,
it makes no employment rules itself"
"NRS records show that even in
the small crews so far employed at
the dam, twenty-four counties, locat-
ed in all parts Of the state, have been
represented. No zones were ever es-
tablished or observed. When skilled
men of special qualifications are re-
quired, they must naturally be drawn
from counties in which such men make
their homes; otherwise, the distri-
button of work opportunities is gem
eral. There is no shortage of labor
at the dam, and there will be no
shortage. The MRS covers the state,
and can supply on short notice ten
times as many qualified workers as
will ever be required on the Grand
Coulee project"

PROSSER PLANS
BIG SHOW FOR
STATES DAY
Unique Celebration Now i'm 18th
Year; Fine Entertainment to
be Followed by Fireworks and
Big Street Dance

Prosser will celebrate Labor Day.
September 3rd, with its twelfth an
nual States Day celebration. This
celebration has become an annual
event and has been held each year con-
tinuously for eleven years. The out
standing idea of the celebration as
demonstrated by its name is the reg
istration Of all visitors according to
the states where they were born and
by means of which people who have
moved to the Yakima valley from 9TH
er states of the union are able to
look up and meet old acquaintances
and make new acquaintance with
people from their home communities.
This celebration started out on a
small scale, but has gradually devel-
oped until it is now perhaps the larg-
est celebration held in the lower Yak
ina valley and attracts a large num-
Der Of people from Yakima to Pasco.
The celebration is held at the Pros
ser city park, which has the reputa-
ton of being one Of the incest parks
in the valley and an elaborate pro-
gram is furnished at the expense Of
the Prosser merchants and everything
provided, with the exception of the
base ball games and the dance, are
free. Most of the communities in the
lower valley participate in the event
by furnishing some number on the
afternoon program.
Although we are still in what is
called a depression, nevertheless, Il
seems worth while for all of US to
take time off and forget our business
worries and enjoy day of fun and
entertainment for this is the thing
that this celebration will provide.
Among the outstanding events
will be a speaker of national renown,
the State Grange baseball champion
ship, Boy Scout Jamboree, Water
Sports and Games, Song Festival in
the evening with one hundred voices
participating, elaborate fireworks dis
play and street dance.
