the question of the advisability of
a one-contract-per-farm adjustment
program dealing with grains and
livestock to become effective in
1886. State corn-hog committee
men and extension workers meeting
in Washington, D. c., with adjust
ment administration officials un-
animously recommended new con-
tract for 1885.
A new corn-hog program for
1885 will be offered producers as
soon as the necessary provisions
can be worked out, in view of the
favorable vote from the participat-
ing farmers. Agricultural adjust
ment officials expect to be able to
shortly announce the 1886 plan and
to have the contract ready for sign
up meetings before Christmas.
The sign-up in each county will
be in charge Of the local corn-hog
production control association, as
sisted by the local county agent.
AS the base production for each old
contract signer is in the files of the
organization the new program is
expected to be set up in record
time.

November Staff
Editorial

November is a month of chilling
winds and drizzling rains. I h e
harvest is over, hays and grains
have been stored; supplies of gold
en- pumpkins, apples and other
fruits and vegetables have been
gathered in. The fields turn brown.
The few colorful leaves left are
one by one blown from the trees,
leaving a bare, cold appearance.
They rustic upon the ground with
each gust of wind.
But it is time for good cheer
a time to curl up in an easy chair
and lose yourself among the pages
of an interesting book-a time for
jovial groups to gather in gay
parties conferred near swapping
log fire in a huge fireplace.
Fraser gives us such an idea in
his poem:
Fear not November's challenge
bold
We've books and friends
And hearths that never can grow
cold.
These make, amends.

Music

On Tuesday of this week at 2
pm, one hundred Chamber of Com
merce business men of Seattle
stopped in Kennewick on their
Goodwill Tour. They were greet
ed by the high school band, direct
ed by Mr.. Rogers. The program
was opened with "Hail, Hail, the
Gangs All Here"
The Seattle businessmen so thor
oily enjoyed the music of the band
that they demanded piece after
piece. They wanted to show their
appreciation in a more material
way than applause so they gener-
ously bestowed upon our band the
neat little sum of $31.00. The band
intends to use this in buying uni
forms which will greatly improve
the appearance of the band.

Kennewick Lions Defeat
HermistOn 26-O Friday

The Kennewick eleven, playing
hard, driving football, easily took
Hermiston last Friday in spite OF
the absence of three regulars. Near
the middle of the first quarter the
Lions pushed the ball inside the
ten-yard line and Walters bucked it
over on the fourth down. Maddox's
kick went to the side for no point.
The seconi quarter was marked oy
a forty-five yard punt return for
the second touchdown. Walters
added the point.
In the second half the Lions
came back clicking together even
better TO add two more touchdowns.
The first came on a pass from
Maddox to Nagley, with Walters
again converting. The second fol-
lowed at the end of the third
quarter when Graves touchdown
ended fifty-yard march TO the
goal line. No point was added. The
second string went in early in the
fourth quarter and had no trouble
in holding Hermiston scoreless for
the remainder of the game.
The Lions running attack was
hindered by the sandy field, but
they greatly outciassed Hermiston
who was in Kennewick territory
only once in TIE entire afternoon
and never made scoring threat.
Kennewick's starting lineup was
Giard, center, Wilson and Van Mi
man, guards; Boutelle and Taylor,
tackles; Jones and O'Neil, ends;
and Nagley, Graves, Walters and
Maddox in the backfield.

All for Naught

The fame of Chief of Police
Vince "Sleepless" Talbot, Of
Upper Marlboro, has spread
from coast to coast, despite the
fact that he has been chief only
three months.
The other day he received a
clipping from the San Fran.
cisco Examiner of a story that
appeared in this column a few
days before.
The story concerned the &C.
tivities of Vince in putting out
a fire which threatened a store
on which he kept a constant
eye, because he got his coffee
there.
But the fame of "sleepless"
and his firefighting activities
have gone for naught.
The store which he so care.
fully saved has gone out OF

MARCH OUTLOOK
FOUND GOOD

In its weekly summary Of the
general business situation, the
Standard Statistics Company, OF
New York, comments in part as
follows:
"The completion Of the first
year of planned recovery finds
industry with substantial gains
to its credit, and every prospect
that the solid foundation al
ready created will support
further healthy and moderate
expansion during the months
Immediately ahead.
"On the whole, business has
entered March with an in
creased volume of orders which
are better protected than was
the case in former periods by
the provisions against cancella-
tiOns, as contained i'm the codes.
Although present uncertainties
may tend to hold the rate Of
expansion within narrower
limits, there is no reason for ex-
pecting that the current stage
Of recovery has yet approached
its peak"
Analysing the prospects fol
April and May, the review says
that the numerous additional
stimulants to activity recently in
jected have yet to be translated

and services favorS an extension
