CORN POSITION STUDIED
Import OF All Available ExportabIe
Held Possible

Based on normal consumption, the
United States has approximately
eight months supply of corn and
eight months supply of oats, Fenner
& Beane declared today in a survey.
If this country imported all the
available exportable surplus from
foreign countries, it is said, it would
not affect the acute existing
shortage.

Correct Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

The Man Pays
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
The girls Of my club have
planned a roller skating party,
and each girl is to invite q
young man friend. I have already
asked a friend to escort me,
and now a discussion comes up
when I want Mother to give
me the fare. She believes that
I am making myself cheap by
paying for this young man,
whom I also asked to our
Prom.
If it is right to pay for this
young man. shall I give him
the money to pay for us both?
This seems rather an embar-
RAISING situation and 7 would
certainly like to do what is
correct. MARY.
I agree with your mother that
it would be less embarrassing if
you leave it as the young mans
responsibility to pay the fare to
the party.

Flowers And Cards

E1OWeTS ana CaTOS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Just when should cards be
removed from flowers at a
funeral, upon arrival or just
before the funeral, or is the
undertaken supposed to take
care Of this?
Does the same apply when
the funeral is at a funeral
home? K.
ANY of these ways is correct.
Many people, as the flowers ar
rive, carefully remove the card,
indicating on the back Of the
cards, for reference in the note
Of thanks, the kind of flowers
that are sent. I like this way
best.
Or the cards may be left on
until just before the funeral,
although this isn't often very
convenient when there is so
much to be seen to then. Or
the taking off Of the cards and
the registering of the kinds Of
flowers sent may be left to the
undertaken.
Yes.

Anglers Return Home
Happy Though Fishless

Four White Bluffs anglers returned
Monday from the coast, where they
had attended the East-West fishing
party, with reports of good time, but
with no fish.
j. M. Shinn, Ira Hawley, Roy Glib
bins and r. S. Reierson made up the
quota from this community at the
event which was attended by $50 east
side fishermen and an equal number
of hosts from the west side.
1t was the second annual f1shlng
party, and the second time that the
fish had refused to bite. Only fifteen
salmon were caught by the 500 anglers,
although dog fish and rock cod were
caught in more liberal amounts.
Saturday the visitors were enter
tanned by their hosts, and that even
ing attended a banquet at the wash
ington Athletic club. At 10 O'CLOCK
they boarded the steamer Tacoma 1or
the trip to Holmes Harbor on Wind
by Island. Breakfast was eaten before
leaving the boat and fishing started
at dawn. At one o'clock in the after
noon they went ashore for clam
bake, and soon afterwards returned te
Seattle.

Priest Rapids Turbine
Calls for Accurate Fit

If YOU have never fully realized the
acme of accuracy presented by ma
chinery which must be measured 10
less than one-one thousandth OF an
inch for an absolutely perfect tit, you
should take look at the new turbine
just being installed at the Priest zap
ids power plant There one piece Oh
machinery fitted into another only al
ter the workmen had taken advantage
of contraction Of the metal, caused Dy
lowered temperature.
In order to fit the propeller wneel
of the new turbine onto the lower
shaft which supports it, the wheel was
lowered into it's place and held there
by hangers. The lower end OF the sha1t'
which is about twelve inches IN ola-
meter, was then placed in a barrel con-
tanning solution of salt and ice wa
ter and left there until it's temperature
was 16 degrees Fahrenheit.
The wheel was kept at Temperature
of GO degrees and with the resulthe
variation in temperature which nae
caused the shaft to contract, IL wax
possible to slip the shaft into tne
wheel. When the two parts nae
reached the same temperature, tns
KEYS were inserted between them.

For Loan Aid
MANY APPLY FOR SEED LOANS
TO COVER COST OF FIRST
SPRAYS

In order to obtain funds with which
to apply the first spray, which must be
completed within the next week,
number of local growers are applying
for seed loans from the Farm Credit
administration About twenty or TWEEN
ty-live applications have been sent IN
from here, and several have already

Pre- necessary to put the application

The committee of local growers who
are endeavoring to have the regular
crop production loans through the va
kima Valley Production Credit Assocl-
alton speeded up, are working hard on
the matter and on Monday sent the
following telegram to President Roose-
welt in an effort to have the serious
ness of the situation fully recognized
THE Production Credit Association
which was created as relief measure
for growers absolute failure so far as
Priest Rapids Valley is concerned. NO
money yet available from this source
and functioning of corporation not on
practicable basis necessary to meet
needs of fruit industry. A procedure
is being followed that would be ap-
plicable to the industry under normal
conditions but is entirely out or place
and at variance with the act creating
this association. Fruit growers for four
seasons past have suffered to great
err extent and received less considera-
| ton than most branchS OF agriculture.
Our particular district being earliest
in state was made the experimental
ground for the whole state last season
and suffered UNNECESSARILY as re-
suit of such delay. AS private banks
who formerly financed growers have
not as vet resumed their former func-
tons enur only present source OF credit
is the Production Credit Association.
Our loans with the Regional Credit
Corporation last season were paid up
better than ninety-nine per cent. AS
the first sprays must be applied to or
chards Immediately our growers Will
unless credit Forthcoming Immediately
lose their entire crops. AS last re-
sort we appeal to you that our valley

County Nurse Speaks
Before Woman's Club

Miss Sylvia Packard, Benton county !
health nurse, spoke before the MEM
beers of the Woman's club at it's study |
meeting Wednesday, on the ADVISABLE
ity of immunizing children between
the ages of six months and ten years
against the dangers Of diphtheria.
Immunization from diphtheria, which
is one of the biggest causes OF NOR
tality among small children, may now
be obtained by one injection OF a sub
stance known as toXoid. Unlike toxin
anti-toxin which was formerly used,
toxoid requires but the one Injection
and causes no discomfort to the pa
tent. 1t gives from three to five years
of immunity.
Through cooperation between the
state health department and the coun-
ty health offices, an injection OF toxoid
will be available to the children OF
this community for twenty-five cents.
DR.. Spaulding of Kennewick will be
in White Bluffs May is and at that
time any mother desiring 1t may bring
her children for immunization. The
regular yearly baby clinic may possibly
be held at the same time. Miss Pack
ard concluded her talk by urging that
the parents be advised of the import
ance of this treatment and congratu-
lating the community on it's freedom
during the past year from any kind
of epidemic.
"Cry Havoc!", the book reviewed by
Mrs. F. M Wheeler, was written by
an Englishman on the subject OF pacl-
fism and world peace. Beverly Nichols
the author, was of the opinion that
world peace is practically impossible
of attainment for the reason that wal
brings too much profit to those who
finance and arm 1t.
Mrs Harry Smith gave an excel
ent talk on the life and work OF Ste
phen Collins Foster, composer OF Am
erica's "folk" music. Among the ar
ticles to which she referred for ma
terial was one written in the Atlanti
Monthly magazine Of November, 1857
During her talk tea was served by Mrs
D. S. Wilkinson and Mrs. W. j. Jen

Prosser Game Is
First On Schedule

Baseball fans will see plenty OF action
Sunday, April IS, when eight teams
of the Valley League clash IN the
opening games Of this years scned-
ule.
White Bluffs Hanford will travel to
Prosser for the first game, at which
time Prosser's fine new ball park VIII
be dedicated. A large program IN adol-
ton to the ball game is being planned
for that day. The probable starting
lineup for the local team has not YET
been chosen, but Manager Evett Will
make it known before the team leaves
Sunday.
The committee in charge Of the pro-
gram at Prosser invites everyone IN
this valley to attend, and hopes that
a large delegation will accompany the
local team that day. G. F. Ernst, State
Administrator of the FERA, will give
the principal address.
Other league games Sunday will
find Pasco, 1888 champions, playing
the Yakima All-Stars at Yakima, Nab
ton playing Toppenish at Toppenish,
and Grandview clashing with Sunny
side on the latter's home grounds.
With several weeks Of intensive prac-
tice behind them, the local boys expect
to show plenty of class when they
play their initial league game. They
had previously been scheduled to play
Sunnyside, but were later invited to
take part in the dedication OF Pros
ser's new park, and the schedule was
re-arranged SO that this could be
worked out.
The full schedule of the league has
not yet been announced but as soon
as it is available the Spokesman Will
publish it. With eight teams in the
league, there will be Sc games played
this summer. Some teams wish to use
the bye system, which would necess-
state two teams laying off eacf
Sunday. If this system is adopted, il
will take 10 Sundays to complete the
schedule, and number Of manager
assert that this will work hardship
as they will be unable to hold thei
teams together that long
