LEGAL PROFESSION SHOULD
ACT, HE ASSERTS

BY NJ. R. E.
In the days before 81. A. B." and
when justice in the Marion County
Criminal Court was blind and not
cross-eyed, one could hear legal
terms, such as corpus deficit, res ad-
judicata, pari delicto, de novo, nunc
pro tune, idem sonans or nolle
prosequi.
But since the chickens have come
home to roost, the legal parlance
one hears includes front dough, lay
it on the line, can fix you up
if you got the dough, put your feet
on the bricks for a grand, I got the
go sign. The legal profession has
surely sunk to low level. 1t
should hang its head in shame if
it does not assist The Times in
cleaning up the condition on the
second floor of the Courthouse.

TITLES FOR SALE

CUPREME COURT JUSTICE SALVATORE
~ A. GOTHIC of New York said no more
than the vast majority of his fellow-citizens
were already thinking when he unburdened
himself recently of these scathing comments
on the ways in which rich Americans rush
into marriages with titled Europeans.
Such alliances, said the judge, ARE fraught
with peril and almost invariably end in dis
aster."
He made this comment after hearing an
annulment case in which it was shown that
a young European countess was sent over here
to get her man" in any way she could, and
that a vast deal of deception was practiced to
gain the end. American tile hunters are
mostly suckers-and, in the long run, they
usually get just what the sucker always gets.

the enactment of a universal draft
law to place capital, industry and
man power at the services OF the
government on an equal basis in
event of another war. Such q
measure would make the huge war
profits of the past impossible and
would remove any chance of the
United States being urged into an
other war by selfish interests and
would greatly strengthen the coun-
try's defensive power. In the pres
emit condition of the world the need
for more adequate national defense
is very apparent and the auxiliary

the legion to demand immediate
strengthening of land and sea
forces as the surest safeguard for

Pioneer Given Birthday
Surprise Party Thursday
VALLEY

A group of neighbors surprised
w. A. Koontz with a party at the
C. l.. Selph home Thursday night
in honor of his seventy-sixth
birthday. The evening was spent
at cards. Mr.. Koontz was one of
the early pioneers of the Washing
ton-Oregon territory and remi-
nisence of the events of his life
gives fair picture of the early
history of the state of Washing
ton.
Mr.. Koontz was born January 3,
1859 at Mcmahon Creek Church
House, Belmont County, Ohio and
came west at an early age. In 1878
he fought in the Snake and Ban
mock Indian War, he and his bro
Their being commissioned as scouts.
Before the war he taught school
in Baker City, Oregon. In 1879 he
was a government surveyor, sec
tioning this county for the North
ern Pacific railroad company. he
was elected sheriff of Klickitat
county in Washington Territory in
January 1882.
Going to Tacoma in January
1885, he entered the grocery bus
mess, but sold out and went to
Milton, where he married Mrs.
Nancy Emmeline Symons. He has
one child, Edith Mary Koontz, now
Mrs. C. L. Selph.
Mr.. Koontz worked for the Ore
gon Railroad and Navigation Co.
until 1893, when he went to Brit
ish Columbia to work in the mines.
He took homestead in Franklin
county in 1900 and in 1909 he OPP
pened Hotel Kontz, now the COM
mercial Hotel, in Kennewick.
In 1910 he moved to the Koontz
ranch east of Kennewick and has
lived there ever since.

'WhoLOstMOst?

Over in Seattle, according to the
papers q week or so ago, one OF
the men about town turned deal
which netted him something over
fifteen thousand dollars in very
short time. He staged party and
when he woke up he found that he
had lost everything he had.
In Kennewck, down on the will
low-grown banks of the river
where our citizens dump the things
for which they find no further use,
lives an old man. He h a S been
there for more than two years now.
He has managed to keep suffi-
cient amount of food within his
emaciated body by salvaging bits
Of this and that from the dump.
In addition he has saved odds
and ends from among the things
he finds there to construct a shell
ter-a place he rightfully calls
home. One wall of his home was
made from a bedspring, thru the
wires of which were woven willow
boughs, The interstices stuffed with
leaves. Bits of lumber, beaten-out
tin, scraps of iron-everything
went in to the structure.
It was small and cramped, part
" built underground. Without
tools, without nails, his structure
has served to shelter him from
the blistering rays Of the sun and
from the drizzle Of the rain.
Ut was his home.
Monday, during his absence, 1t
was destroyed by fire.
The old man lost everything.

Members of the Robt. w. Ely
unit No. 33 of the American Lee
gion Auxiliary are sharing with
the auxiliary women thruout the
country keen interest in the COM
ing Women's Patriotic conference
on National Defense, which will
bring members of forty women's
organizations to Washington, DC.
for discussion of the nations de-
fensive needs.
The conference will open Janu-
ary 80 and will continue thru jan
uary 81 and February 1. Nearly
1000 delegates, coming from every
state and representing approx
imately 100000 women are ex-
pected to attend. The Department
of Washington will be represented
by delegation. Other women's pa
triotic organizations of the state
are also planning to send dele
gates. :.
Prominent authorities on all
phases of national defense will adj
dress the conference sessions, in
GLIDING high army and navy Off
GERS, Senators, Representatives and
American Legion leaders. The
delegates will join in expressing
their attitude on the issue present
ed. Similar state, district and To-
cal conferences will follow, con-
tinuing the work of placing the
facts concerning the country's de-
tense before American women.
Full support Of the American
Legion Auxiliary's 10000 members
will be given the legislative rec
concentrations of the American
Legion when these are placed be.
fore the coming session of con-
gress, according to Hazel Oliver,
chairman of the legislative COM
mittee. The legislation recommend
ed by The legion will be studied by
auxiliary units thruout the coun-
try during January and activities
undertaken to increase public un-
derstanding of the measures.
The auxiliary will devote its
first efforts to the four major leg
islative requests of the legion,
full payment of the adjusted COM
pensation certificates, protection
for widows and orphans of World
war vets, passage Of an univer-
sal draft law and strengthening the
National defense, the chairman
said. They will urge the immed-
late payment of the adjusted COM
pensation both as a measure to
aid veterans in need and to speed
the country's economic recovery"
eve of the auxiliary, from our
contact with the families of veter-
ans, know how greatly the social
ed bonus money is needed and how
effectively it would be poured into
the channels of trade in every
part of the country. Unlike the
widows and orphans of veterans of
other wars, widows and orphans of
World War veterans do not have
protection Of the government. The
auxiliary will join the legion in
urging that such protection be ex-
tended to mothers and children left
in need by the death of World
War veteran"

Scale InfestatiOn is
Becoming a Serious
Menace to Orchards

H. w. Desgranges, manager of
the local Big Y states that, fruit
growers have become alarmed at
the growing menace Of the San
Jose scale. A check Of the packing
houses reveals that eight percent
Of the cullage was due to this pest.
The mild winter of last year was
favorable to their multiplying and
with the present prevailing wealth
er serious damage will result un-
less the proper preventative is ap-
piled. The growers are fully aware
of this danger and a determined
effort is to be made to stamp out
the pest. The inspection depart
ment will lend its full support to
the campaign and every grower
should take an active interest.
The San Jose scale is spread by
being carried by The birds and in
sects and its control is beyond the
individual efforts of the grower. It
Is q community problem. An ORCH
ard may be properly sprayed but
if the adjoining orchard is infested
it is bound to carry over before
the end of the season. 1t is there
fore necessary that every orchard
should be sprayed. Growers should
not be content by spraying his or
chard but he should see to it that
his neighbor does likewise. Aband-
oned orchards or neglected isolated
trees are The greatest source Of in
festation and these should be re-
ported to the Inspector.
Many varieties of shade trees
are harbingers of the scale. These
should be closely inspected and if
infested must be sprayed.
