BAND GIVES GIRLS
SEND OFF

Very, very few people leaving
Kennewick have the band at
the depot to give them send
off. Yet this honor was ac-
corded the two young ladies' last
Saturday morning when they
left ON their all-expense paid
trip to California. And not
only was the band out in their
honor, but both Miss Veriella
Mueller and Miss June Visger,
the winners in the Better Times
contest, were also targets for
a movie camera. They were
shown bidding farewell to the
sponsors and waving boodbye
to the crowd which had gather
ed to give them a sendoff. They
boarded the train to the strains

SETON QUOTAS
HERE TUESDAY
Story, Fletcher and Jacobs
to Handle Control
of Acreage

Local committees have been ap-
pointed in each producing section
to assist melon and tomato grow
ers in determining quotas. Those
appointed for this section are. Guy
Story, Kennewick; C. F. Fletcher,
Richland; Henry Jacobs, Finley.
This district comprises Kennewick,
Richland, Finley and Hover. C. F.
Fletcher will receive applications
for quota at Irrigation office, Rich
lard, Monday and Tuesday. March
Is and 26. Applications will be re-
ceivei at the office of Gascoigne
& Fyfe Tuesday, March 26 and 81.
The committee will meet as whole
Wednesday March 81 at Gascoigne
& Fyfe to pass on all applications,
make such adjustments as neces-
sary and authorize quota transfers
according where permissible. They
will make recommend ations which
will be forwarded to the Joint Con-
troll Board of the Marketing Agree
ment for final approval.
This is the first time in the his
to ry Of the two states that grow
ers have attempted to get cost Of
production for their crop by means
of acreage control. The enforce
ment Of the Marketing Agreement
on melons and tomatoes will be
much easier under the new Agri-
cultural Adjustment Acts, recent
ly passed by the legislature Of Ore
gon and Washington Mr.. Tomp-
kins said.
lit is to the interest Of every
grower to file his application for
quota while this committee is in
session. Their refunds will be held
up until their quota is established,
even if they have planted within
their allowable acreage.
It is not necessary to wait for
official certificate Of quota ito
plant or plan for planting. How
ever q grower should be careful
not to exceed the quota to which
he is justly entitled unless willing
to pay the penalty assessment. This
allowable quota can be determined
for yourself from information on
application blank.

AAA TO CONTINUE
PROGRAMS IN 1885
Farm Prices Still 20 Points Below
Parity Despite Lowered Sur.
pluses; Dollar Devaluation

Failure Of farm prices to reach
parity, even though much improved
during the last two years, will pre-
clude abandonment of any agri-
cultural adjustment programs now
in effect according to word receiv-
ed from the AAA by F. E. Balmer,
State college extension service d.
rector. Washington commodities
now under the federal adjustment
program include wheat, corn, hogs
and sugar beets. Potatoes and cat
tie would be brought under the pro-
gram by legislation n ow before
congress, while AAA codes and
marketing agreements may be
strengthened to aid the fruit in
dustry particularly.
The need for continuing agri-
cultural adjustment is emphasized
by the fact that farm prices are 20
points below parity in spite of the
combined effect of reduced export
SURPRISES, drought and dollar de-
valuation, administration officials
point out. Wholesale prices of farm
products are 13 percent below the
1929 relation to industrial prices,
retail food costs 20 points below
the general level of the cost of liv-
ing, and the farmers standard OF
living, as measured by net income
over operating expenses, 20 per
cent below the pre-war standard.
Considering Ienefit payments as
additional income, farmers received
en- the part of their crops consa1,-
ed in this country, returns equiv
a.ent to l24 percen. of prc-war
prices or two points less than par
! ity tor IA basic commodities. Far
mers received in farm prices plus
benefit payments, nine points
above parity for the seven commod-
tiles under the adjustment pro-
gram. Benefit payments in Wash
ington up to January 81, 1885 for
wheat, corn and hog adjustments
totaled $8,372, 630.
Facing situation with farm
prices below parity and the pros
pect of lover prices this year un-
less substantial increases in con-
sumner buying power and industrial
production offset normal growing
conditions, no consideration has
been given to abandonment OF any
adjustment program, said Direct.

From all reports the show
promises to he a real hit and ticket

The first act is the court scene
in the days Of the Gay Nineties,
when breach Of promise suit was

This trial is something to write
home about even in this modern
day and age.
The stern Judge ED Tweet) uses
everything but brute force to keep
order in the court. The League OF
Nations jury members, each a lit
tie funnier than the one proceed
ing, and all screamingly funny,
prove almost boo much Off his
honor, the judge. The witnesses,
some Of whom know entirely too
much and Others who know nothing
almost drive him to Obstruction.
Dotty Perkins margaret o.
Hearn(, who like the Northwest
Mounted Police, gets her man, is
suing Dennis Casey Crank Maui
pin), the real estate man, for
breach of promise. After hearing
the evidence pro and con, the
Judge thinks they should both be
hung. just as he is about to pro-
nounce a severe sentence, Casey
decides to marry the GIRL" and
so ends the first act.
The second act is the scene OF
the wedding in the brides home.
Mary Perkins, MRS. Joe Martin),
Dotty's mother, very efficiently
manages the participants in the
ceremony. Among those plrticipat-
ing, is her husband, Henry Gran
els Mills), who is sure he could
assist If she would only let him
tell one of his funny stories.
The minister (Ralph Birum) has
considerable difficulties in reading
the marriage lines. The best man,
maid Of honor and others add COM
plicaticns. The flower girls trip
merrily to the tunes Of the Hum
ming Bird orchestra. But wait,
you must see this big show TO find
out whether or not Dotty really
gets her man.

Curran Chellis, Verna Cook, Ella
Ann Linn, Herb o'Hearn, as the
Dutchman; Neil Paien, the French
Count, Larry Oliver, the Jew;

dancers, and Maxine Whittemore
will give an acrobatic dance num-
Der.

MORGAN SECURITY
HOUSE IS limited
interests Identified With
Banker Reported Forming
New Business.
" the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, September Sit was
reliably reported in Wall Street today
that interests identified with j. p.
Morgan and Co., would shortly an
nounce the formation of q concern to
deal in securities.
Since June of 1884, ]. ?. Morgan
and Co.. has been a private bank. It
then discontinued its securities busi-
ness under the provisions Of the bank
ing act of 1888, which provided for
the separation of the banking and
securities businesses.
Subject Of Speculation.
Until the formal announcement,
the subject Of whether the giant Nor
gan firm would become a private
bank, or a securities house, had been
subject of widespread speculation.
When the firm decided upon be-
coming a bank there was much con-
lecture in Wall Street as to whether
a separate group of persons formerly
identified with the firm might not
form a separate concern to deal in
securities.
When the banking bill was up in
the last session Of Congress, the pro-
visions which would have permitted
banks to participate in security Offer
ings as underwriters was thought
by some to be likely to enable the
Morgan firm to return to the securi-
ties business. This provision was
dropped before the bill was enacted,
however.
What form the reported securities
concern would take could not be i'm
mediately learned. About year ago,
1t was rumored that the Philadelphia
affiliate, Drexel g. Co., might be sep
arated to form securities house, but
this was denied.
Drexel Partners In Meeting.
1t was reported in sources close to
the Morgan firm today that several
of the partners Of Drexel g. Co. were
in meeting in the Morgan Offices yes
terday.
Since the securities business has
revived this year, Wall Street has
been convinced that Morgan interests
would take steps to return to it. At
the time the firm discontinued its
securities activity last year, under
writing was virtually at a standstill.
The combined condition statement
of J. P. Morgan & Co. and Drexel &
Co.. published as of June 90, showed
total resources Of $430, ,366,3l9. OF
this amount cash accounted for S50,-
34O,997, and United States Govern
ment securities, 55.543,40l.

tinued very much higher. The total
