NEARLY 100 MEN WERE laid off
in Montgomery County last week by
the State Roads Commission. Some
call it seasonal employment ext
gencies," but we call it tough luck,
especially when majority Of the lab
orers depend upon their weekly pay
checks to buy bread. Some sort of
relief work will probably have to be
furnished, so what is the use of
changing things around?

some pretty good ideas. But we fail to
see where the 50 tag proposition has
any real merit. Any comparative
small tax which you pay but once a
year is an easy one. We grumble
around the first of the year and forget
all about it for IL months. We need
revenue and certainly this is fine
way to get money without pinching.
And there are lot of people who will
buy tags at So who should not be
permitted on the road with any mod
ern conveyance. If a person can af-
ford a car, he can afford from Sc to
$40 for tags. If the powers that he
want to cut anywhere, let them cut
down the gasoline tax. We run across
that every day.
WE HAVE A COPY of the NEW
ENGLAND FARMERS ALMANAC,
a second Bible to the 'Down- Eastern
ers" and a. trustworthy publication
which was founded in 1913. 1t is said
that nary a fisherman who leaves the
bleak New England coast goes with
out a copy of this remarkable alma
nae. Among other things it contains a
verse for December which aptly ap-
plies today as it applied when written
in 1903. "Feed not only your cattle,
but the houseless child of want, that
the prayers of the poor may call down
blessings on you and yours"
| IN 1876 ADVICE to country poll
ticians was distributed thusly by the
Farmers Almanac:
Go husk your corn and pillow your land
And by Columbia's interest stand,
Cast prejudice away;
To able heads leave State affairs,
Give ratings over and say your
prayers,
For stores of corn and hay.
Let politics meier break your sleep,
But ring your hogs and shear your
sheep,
And rear your lambs and calves;
And Washington will take due care
That Briton never more shall dare
Attempt to make you slaves.
A FRESH YOUNG EGG from the
country went to Rockville the other
day, contrary of the advice of its eld-

Moral: the city is no place for fresh

RAILROAD LAND
ADDED TO FIJI.
SCHOOL DIST.
Several Miles of Right of Way
Along S. p. & S. Helps Finan-
ces of Consolidated District;
No School in Other District

School district SO, the consolidated
Finley-Hover district, is expected to
have its financial problem solved,
now that Olaf Strandwold. county
superintendent Of Benton county
schools has announced that IL sec
tions of land will he joined to the dis
trict to add 100000 to the valuation.
This increased the districts valua-
ton to $s13,192, which will result in
the district getting adequate tax
money for operation expenses with
out voting a special levy, according
to the superintendent The territory
Joined to the Finley Hover district was
taken from the Mottinger district in
which there Is no school in operation
as there are no children in the dis
trict to be educated.
The loss Of the land caused Mottin-
ger valuations to fall to $215, 900. but
according to Mr.. Strandwold that sum
will be adequate to obtain finances
for any school that might be neces-
sary there in years to come. The land
IN question includes several miles OF

Durdle Gets Bad Burn
in Gas Station Blaze

Chef Durdle received badly burn
ed left arm and hand Sunday q little
afternoon, when an oil tanker at
tempted to unload at the storage
tank of the Grange service station on
Railroad street while a motor was
running. Fumes and some split gaso-
line ignited over Durdle's arm and
caught his clothing. He lay down and
rolled in the cinders, to put out the
blaze, breaking the blisters on his arm
At the time. His presence Of mind
and prompt action did much to bring
the blaze under control, having called
the fire department and it was not url-
til their arrival that he asked to be
taken to doctors office to have his
wounds dressed.
The blaze was soon under control
and very small damages resulted ex-
eept to the person of Durdle.

COAST STRIKE
KEEPS CANNERY
FROM OPENING
Shipment of Machinery Tied Up
in Port; Hope for Rush Order
in Time to Open with First
Picking of Beans

Beans, beans-cute, little, delicate
string beans, hardly large enough to
be identified planted and destined
to be nicely processed and sealed in
tin cans for the tables of American
citizens this winter, are coming along
so rapidly that arrangements can
hardly keep pace. The end of this
week will see some of the large crop
ready for processing.
The longshoremen's strike has pre-
vented the arrival of the shippers
or whatever they're called-and the
cannery officials are anxiously await
ing word that the machinery has
been released. 1t is hoped that this
stuff can receive special treatment
and the equipment rushed thru the
last of this week, so that the cannery
may start operations again the first
of the coming week.
The plant will open for the bean
processing, under the direction OF
John Race, a cannery man of wide ex-
perience. Mr.. Race was here Sunday
comforting with the local manage
ment and will return tomorrow OF
next day to get things moving, Mr..
Race was in charge Of the Libby
plant when it was built at Yakima and
for several years conducted the plant,
later going into business for. himself
in Oregon.
He is well acquainted with the Yak
ina valley and its products and pos
sibilities and is anxious to again en-
gage in the canning business in this
section. He Will be in charge of the
plant the remainder Of this year, as
sisting in the sales end as well as the
processing department.
If the necessary equipment should
delay the opening beyond Monday of
next week, arrangements have been
made with Mr.. Gleason to handle the
green beans on the fresh market un-
It'll the shippers are received and the
canning can be begun. So far this
section has escaped the blight which
has affected the beans in other sec
tions and prospects for the sale Of
the pack are bright. In tomatoes, the
same situation exists. Blight has at
tackled several sections and the price
of the processed stuff is fluctuating
daily and cannery officials are hop
ing that the market will strengthen
by the time the local pack Is under
way.

NEW FEATURE
TO BE STARTED
ON THE FOURTH
Old-Time Residents to be Honor
ed; Summers to be Speaker;
Band to Bring Crowd; Races
All Day Long

Most of the entertainment arrang-
ed for the Fourth of July celebration
has been to interest the kids. One fea-
ture, however, is being put on which
will interest the kids not at all. Some
where on the grounds there will be
log cabin-or at least it will look
something like log cabin. Herein
will be a register, and all those who
attend the celebration viii be asked
to sign the register-with one pro-
vision, only. That one is that the
signer came to this section prior to
1910. .s..
Believing that a great deal Of in
terest will center around such reg
lister, the celebration committee has
decided to acquire one. Old timers
people who have lived here for 25
years or more will undoubtedly be in-
terested in the information which viii
be made available from this register.
In it will be set down the name Of the
registrant, his age, where he came
from, when and why, how large his
family is and other such information
which might prove interesting.
1t will surprise many who live here
now to know that the list will include
more than hundred-possibly
great many more than that-names
of people who still believe the stories
which they were told back east" about
this section, and who still believe that
some time those stories will come
true. Hence the pioneers registration
booth.
Likely an information booth will
be conducted along with the registra-
tion. Don't be bashful, if you came to
this country in 1910 or before. Step
right up and sign your name-and
get acquainted with the other pion-
GERS. There will be no charge or 9TH
er obligation of any kind. You won't
even be required to tell what name
you used before coming here,

Nearly Half a Million Dollars
Already Collected from People
Living in County; Money to

One little glance at the actual fig
ures will reveal the reason for the un-
iversal holler going up about taxes.
The collections in Benton county
for the first six months of this year
amount to $46 for each man, woman
and child in the county. These fig
ures do not include the states rake
off nor the amount the federal branch
takes.
Figures compiled by Deputy
Treasurer Louis p. Kelley show that
this county has collected between
january 1, 1884 and June !, the sum
of s461 ,036.51. A segregation of the
amount shows that $133,S04.40 was
paid on the current years taxes on
real property and s3S,s72.48 of delin-
quent real taxes. The amount collect

SpUD CODE OK
F.ALLTOGON
AS STATEWIDE
Committee Recommends Com
nlete Control of All Potato
Sales; Cost of Administration
Very Low; Refund Excess

A. 3 meeting held last Saturday
r;obt in the Valley club house, dis
.,;cte were determined for the pota-
- growers code, and the following
committee was elected representing
the districts; L. A. beavers, Pasco,
renresenting the Pasco, Burbank and
Alfalfa district; w. j. Preston for the
Kennewick, Hover Finley district;
8 v Tanning for the Priest Rapids
valley district, made up of Hanford,
White Bluffs and Cold Creek. Ring
aid from across the Columbia in
Franklin county came in with this
district. C. A. Hackney was chosen
for the Richland district and w. C.
Muldrow for the Benton City dis
trict.
C. S. Davis, an attorney of Pasco,
spoke against the code, and Mr.. Haw-
kins of Yakima, who was strawberry
code administrator for the Kennewick
district spoke for the code.
The members of the code commit
tee met Monday in the office of Gas
coigne & Fyfe and elected L. A. Dea-
yers chairman of the committee and
W. s. Muldrow as secretary. At the
close of this meeting they made the
following announcement.
aAfter thorough study of the pota-
to situation, the Code committee has
reached the conclusion that the sit
nation demands a method of state
wide price control. The committee
has plan which it is submitting to
the State Secretary of Agriculture
to make the code price effective on
all potatoes sold in this state, wheth-
er coming from this area, or from 9TH
er parts of the state, or from some
other state. If this can be secured,
your committee believes that it can
function and be of real help in secur-
ing higher prices. Otherwise, it is
the judgment of the committee that
the code will not be worth operating.
Your committee feels that the ex-
pense of operating this code should
be kept at the lowest possible fig
ure consistent with efficient opera
ton. Our estimates show that forty
cents per ton will be ample, and the
committee hopes to realize surplus
from this amount, which it will then
rebate to the growers.
The committee feels strongly that
It cannot do effective work unless it
has the full confidence and coopera-
ton of the growers. It cannot pro-
coed unless it has an unquestioned
majority behind it. It therefore re-
quests that all growers who have not
signed the code shall contact their To-
cal committeeman at once and sign
up"
A meeting was held Wednesday at
the same place with all committee
members present, but no further de-
cisions were made it is understood, a
q meeting will be held later this week
and an administrator chosen.
