DILL GRADE, a former storekeeper
u of Lockwood, was having an
argument with the farmer, Gottlieb
Profurek. The two were sitting on
the porch of GottliebS farmhouse.
TITS already seven o'clock" said
Bill, and you amt got no more'n
ten chairs on the porch. Where you
gonna put them all?"
ooh. shoor' said Gottlieb. dat
be plenty. Ten chairs be too much"
"Well," Bill said. Il asked at least
two hundred to come and I'll bet
more'n a hundred1l be here"
Gottlieb laughed and said, Ten
chairs be too much"
"Well,' Bill said, irritably, I'm go
down to the cellar and get the
benches, myself, or else they'll have
to sit on the floor"
NAV" Gottlieb said. whats the
use? Dey won't come to sit on den"
"And how about the coffee?" Bill
asked. did Mary make enough?
Wen need a lot Of coffee"
"Shool' Gottlieb said. Hey, Mayi
Coffeel Coffee for tree. You, Bill,
an me-"
Bill got UP, angrily, and walked to
the kitchen. Gottlieb sat alone,
smoked his pipe, and grinned.
THE porch extended so feet down
i the entire length Of the rear Of
the house. Gottlieb, himself, had
built it one winter for the use Of
the townsfolk who came there to
hold parties Gottlieb charged ten
cents head. He supplied them with
coffee and cake and cider, and he
decorated the porch for them. He
lost out, financially, but it was a
lot of fun for him.
Gottlieb listened to Bill talking to
Mary in the kitchen. He puffed at
his pipe and chuckled.
"I1l show the people OF Locker
wood who's the thief in this town"
Bill said. I'll wake them uu."
Go to the cemetery, BILL" Gott-
heb roared. You'll do better Job
there, maybe"
Bill came out Of the kitchen and
looked across the porch at Gottlieb.
I'm start a revolution here. You
just wait"
''Bomk!' said Gottlieb. "BoonkI"
"And tonight Bill said. ITO
night"
Gottlieb laughed.
For while they sat In silence.
Outside the wind was knocking the
dry leaves off the maple trees. They
came down, slowly, rafting against
the side of the house.
The first to come was Bob Trees
ter. Then others came in twos and
threes. Gottlieb went down to the
cellar to get the benches. In the
kitchen Mary was busy baking cake
and putting UP kettles for coffee. BY
eight o'clock nearly two hundred
were there. There was q great buzz
on the porch.
"Hey, BILL" cried Link Cooper, a
grocer in Lockwood, whats 1t all
about? Gonna rob the banka"

Big Payment Due
Farmers OF State
Wheat And Corn-Hog Contract
Signers To Get $6,230,ll4
Before Christmas

Washington wheat growers in %
counties and corn-hog growers in
81 counties are expected to receive
approximately $6,230,114 in adjust
ment payments before Christmas
announces F. E. Balmer, director,
agricultural extension service.
The total will include the second
1888 and the first 1884 wheat pay
ments, and the second 1884 corn
hog payments, already being e.
ceived in several counties. Receipt
of these payments will bring the
total adjustment payments made in
the state to about $1O,618,933.
East Side Benefits
Wheat adjustment payments will
be confined almost entirely to east
ern Washington counties. The COM
bined payment includes nine cents
per allotted bushel, less local adj
ministrative costs, as the second
1888 payment, and 20 cents per al
lotted bushel as the first 1884 pay
ment, totaling $1,840,380 and
$4,000, 734, respectively. The final
1888 and first 1884 payments could
not be made until compliance with
the contracts had been approved by
The Nespelem tribune. [volume] (Nespelem, Wash.) 1934-1936, 1934-11-28
the secretary of agriculture.


Corn-hog adjustment payments
will touch every county in the state
except Jefferson and Pacific. The
second payment of 81 per head on
the rs per cent of the base pro-
duction, will total about 100000.
AS soon as final compliance with
the contract has been checked the
last payment of 81 per head on the
allotment, less local administrative
costs, will be received. Practically
every corn-hog county has already
distributed the first So payment,
totaling 100000.
Many Pay Taxes
The influx of about $6,23O,114 in
cash during the next month should
have a marked effect on business
of every kind, declares Director
Balmer. Judging from the use of
the first adjustment payments last
winter, practically all Of the money
will be applied on back taxes, in
terest and principal on farm in
debtedness, essentials such as cloth
ing, farm machinery, housing re-
pairs, and some on modern conven-
fences long denied the average
farmer. The increased purchasing
power of the farmer should ulti-
mately benefit everyone in the state.
