BUTTER FAT MARKET

Recent advances in the butter fat
market have created better feeling
among the dairymen because dairy
products did not respond to the gen.
eral market advance of commodities
until this month. In January prices on
fruits and vegetables were 33 points
higher than IL months previously, but
dairy products were only five points
higher.
The advance of 2 cents pound
this month has helped the dairymen
considerably Butter fat at % cents a
pound is 8 cents pound higher than
year ago, but is 6 cents lower than
the pre-war average, so the producers
feel that they still are not receiving
as much as they should have for their
product.
What the future has in store for the
dairymen is a question for conjecture

CHANGING TAX PICTURE

One Of the results of the depression is the reali-
zation that change in the method Of taxation is
essential to our full recovery.
The most important piece of legislation enacted
by the special session of the legislature-in fact,
by any recent sessions the state planning COM
mission act. Under this act, a commission will be
set up to study the natural resources Of the state
to map them and to pave the way for saner
method of exploiting them This act will change
the old method of stripping country-partic-
ularly the denuding of the timber country, the re-
suits of which in this winters dis
astrous floods in the northwest. In the future,
natural resources will be sanely and sensbly
used
Such an act should also be considered in
CARDS to taxation. The old method of piling tax
upon tax; of burdening land with larger debt
that can be paid; of taxing one group at the ex-
pense of another group must be halted A
mission to study the tax problem and to devise
fairer and more equitable systems Of taxation
should be set up.
Our federal government is already studying the
question to extent. The state government
should now give thought to this problem.

Goethe. Lineage

Johann Wolfgang Won Goethe was
direct descendent of Charlemagne.
This liz the claim of Professor DIR.
Edward, noted German historian, of
the University OF Tuebingen, who has
carefully studied the list of ancestors
of the famous German poet, the hun
dredth anniversary Of whose death
was marked by memorial festivities
throughout entire Europe. According
to Professor Schroeder, the wife Of an
ancestor Of Goethe in the eleventh
generation, Frau Kuntzel Dietz, was
the illegitimate daughter of Duke Hen
ry III Of Hessia. Following this line,
Professor Schroeder came to the as
founding discovery that Charlemagne
was one Of the early ancestors Of the
famous German poet.

Half Bloom Stage Is Best
Time To Cut Alfalfa Hay

The optimum time for cutting al
falfa hay is when about one-half of
the blossoms are out on the plants in
the field. When the field is in full
bloom the plant mas reached a tough,
woody stage which handicaps it's feed
value, says Howard Hackedorn, head
of the State College animal husbandry
division.
Its tonnage in this stage is the
greatest but it's feed value is at its
lowest point, according to the test
completed at the State College of
Washington.
The early bloom stage was more
valuable, as far as the livestock was
concerned, but the tonnage cut at this
stage of growth was too low. The
greatest amount of digestible feed per
acre was produced when the hay was
cut in approximately the half bloom
stage.

NO MYSTERY

Give been watching Fred for the
last fifteen minutes. There's man
who knows his business. He didn't
spill drop of oil on the ground. He
put down the hood gently, fastened
it securely, and left no fingerprints
on it. He wiped his hands on clean
waste before opening the door, spread
clean cloth over the upholstery,
meshed the gears noislessly and then
drove slowly into the street.
yeah, that's his own car"
The basketball season is ended for
another year, at least as far as White
Bluffs is concerned. After the. Hanford-
White Bluffs game last Friday even
ing, the gymnasium was officially
closed, and will not be used for games,
unless cold or rainy weather occurs.
All groups will spend the activity per-
iod each day in the school grounds,
playing baseball, volley ball and tennis,
with attention conferred on track II
little later in the season.
A meeting of the Program Commit
tee was held February II, and it was
decided that the General Science club
would be the next group to give a
program. This will take place on We'd
nesday, February 81, and will prob
ably have Washington's Birthday as
an inspiration.
The Seniors have selected play and
copies have been sent for, so that work
will begin shortly. The play, Mamma S
Baby Boy" is a comedy in three acts
with modern setting, and was writ
ten by Charles George.
He looked around to see if all was
ready. 1t was. He gazed into strained
/, tense faces, but no one made move
to stop him. Suddenly he placed a
short .38 revolver on level with his
temple, mumbled few parting words
and pulled the trigger. BANG! .....
And amid the cheers of the crowd, four
athletes sped down the track.
First: II had to leave school be-
cause of diphtheria.
Second: Indeed! That's awful"
First: Eyes, that is. But 1 can't spell
'diphtheria' to this day"

The boys gave a clever skit entitled
"Jazzy Justice"
The rest of the evening was taken
up with games and dancing, with mu-

Miss Duvall.
In spite of the fact that many stu

hoarse during the games, the groups
showed that they greatly enjoyed
themselves during the course OF the
evening.

HANFORD-WHITE BLUFFS GAMES
Friday night, February 9, witnessed
two of the most exciting games of
the season when Hanford and White
Bluffs clashed on the White Bluffs
floor.
The girls game started out fast and
exciting and remained thus through
out the game. BY the end of the first
half White Bluffs had lead of five
points, the score being 1871 At the
end of the game White Bluffs added
twelve more points to their credit and
Hanford made four more. The final
score was 24-11.
The boys game was very close and
exciting, with Hanford making the
first six points. Shortly after that,
White Bluffs started scoring and the
end of the first half found White
Bluffs in the lead by one point, 12-11
During the second half the score re-
manned close, with White Bluffs at
one time in the lead by six points.
However, Hartford made brilliant
squirt near the end of the game, leav-
ing them the victors by four points.
The final score was 1925

Printed stationery is an important item in
everyday business affairs A etterhead is a bust
ness firms representative, and it should faith
fully indicate the firms standing in the CONNER
cia world we'll the local community. It
should have quality should be appropriate for the
purpose for which it is used, and should possess
something of the personality of the sender
Too much care can not be exercised i'm it's seec-
ton. The cost per letter of good stationery as COM
pared with that of the inferior kind is negligible
The cost of writing a letter. and the postage paid
on it, are many times as much the cost Of the
letterhead and envelope Cutting the quality of
your etterhead will not appreciably decrease the
cost of your correspondence.

us show you how to make your etterhead

The Best Platform

We haven't heard anything about the 12-point
Platform of the Republicans since 1t was first an
nounced in the Medicine Lake Wave a month ago.
1t was this platform. you will remember, that In
its all embracing planks, which, on the one hand was
going to suggest how changes should be made in the
administration of relief, how the Agricultural Adjust
ment act should be carried on, and how CCC camps
should be operated-but all the while fostering the
idea that the entire Democratic Recovery plan should
be heaved overheard.
Looked a good deal like asking people to vote the
Republican ticket IN order to tell the DefocTatic Party
how to run It's business.
Then came the embarrassing situation or Medicine
Lake Republicans having to %repudiate their own can
didate for United States senator in order to indicate
their open friendliness for Senator B. K. Wheeler for
his efforts in having obtained appropriation Tor con-
struction of the Medicine Lake dam.
Sheridan county voters have never had q better
platform to consider from any group of candidates
than the RECORD Of those candidates now seeking
reelection on the Democratic ticket. They have
lowered the cost of county government. They have
saved money for the taxpayer. They have given one
OF the most efficient administrations to voters OF this
county that it has ever had. That fact has not even
been questioned once by the opposition, That platform,
the platform of past achievements based on recorded
facts-should be the best criterion for voters to de-
eide how to mark their ballots.
