Reflect POnsat

Edward Popsat was reelected to
serve as master of the White Bluffs
Grange for the coming year at the
election held Thursday evening. Five
other officers were also reelected to
their posts, these being Mrs. F. M.

Three new members, S. G.. Ander-
son and Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Mastel

Free Potato
Allotment For
Washington Set
Proposed Program May Not
Be Put In Operation
This Year

A. E. Mercker, administrator OF the
proposed potato program for the AAA,
has informed F. E, Balmer, director
of the Washington State College ex-
tension service, that the taX-free pota-
to allotment under the Warner potato
bill has been set at $4,000 bushels
for the state Of Washington, approx
mately 70 per cent of an estimated to-
tai annual production Of 7373,89l
bushels for 1886.
The allotment is for the year be-
ginning December /, applying to po-
tatoes harvested after that date. Inc
administrators figures would indicate
that there will be 100000 less bushels
of potatoes to sell commercially next
year from this state tax free, says the
extension service. Federal AAA officials,
however, maintain that the act Will
work, so that farmers will make as
much or more money from selling the
reduced number OF bushels as they
are now getting. The theory is that
the extra bushelage tends to produce
surplus and depress the market.
The program is intended to work
out fair return to the producer and
fair price to the consumer as well,
according to the AAA. An analysis by
the AAA economists shows that the
cost to the consumer during recent
years of highest production and lowest
production was 20 cents more than
during intervening years Of moderate
production.
Announcement of the state allot-
ment is not a notice that the potato
program has started, but merely indi-
Gates that the agricultural adjustment
administration is preparing the way, Ii
the program is carried out.

Vote December Z
For Commissioner

Benton county voters will go to the
polls Saturday, December z, to vote
for a commissioner for the Benton
County Public Utility District. The
only candidate for this position an
nounced to date is Guy Story of Ken
newick G. @. Williams, present COM
missioner, has declined to run for re-
election. AS the ballots are now being
printed, Mr.. Story's name will be the
only one to appear on the ballot. II
other candidates appear they must run
as sticker candidates.
According to Harley e. Chapman
county auditor, who was in the valley
last Thursday evening with notices OF
the election, it is probable that voters
will also decide whether or not an
additional tax levy to finance the dis
trict will be made. Under the power
district act, the commissioners are en-
powered to make a general tax levy
] but since the 40-mill levy limit act
passed at the last general election al
lows the county to levy only ten mills
| for general purposes, the power district
has been unable to secure funds from
the county's levy.
| Since the date of the election was
not set until last week, only a short
notice was given of the closing Of reg
istration books There remains only I'M
til Saturday, November 16, for non
registered voters to register for this
election. All voters who have registered
within the precinct in which they are
now living since 1882 are eligible te
vote at this election.
Registration officers in the valley
are: Hanford precinct A. M. Rollinger
Columbia and White Bluffs precincts
G.. r. Chase.

Palestine, History Of Jewish
Race On International Program

Ages the worlds learning was guarded
and added to by the Jews. With the
Moorish invasion of Spain the Jews,
who were fairly well treated by the
Moors were able to gain foothold
in Spain, although in the rest OF CIV
ilized Europe they were fiercely dis
eliminated against No place did they
have civil rights and by the thirteenth
century they were forced to wear the
yellow badge, the Badge OF Shame,
sewn to their clothing so that they
might never go undetected. During
these centuries the Jews had served
as the messengers and bankers OF
Europe. The Church held it immoral
to charge interest, so money could be
obtained only from Jew, who, be-
cause of the hazardous nature OF his
calling charged high rate OF interest.
After the horrible massacres which
occurred during the Crusades and the
1nquisition and the expulsion from
England, France, Austria, Spain and
Portugal, most of the Jews took ref
uge in Poland and Turkey, although
some of the Spanish Jews fled to Bra
I'll, and from there in 1855 to America
Among interesting sidelights brought
out by Mrs Chase concerning the Jews
of this era was that Columbus voyage
was backed by Jews, that Jews manu-
featured the instruments by which NJ
sailed, and that the first person to SCI
foot on the New World was his in
terpreter, who was Jew.
Not until the early part of the nine
teenth century were Jews granted civi
rights in Europe or allowed to liv'
outside their ghettoes. Although ther'
have since 1850 been terrible mas
sacres in Russia and Poland, the Jev
has been allowed to live in compar
alive peace until the recent outbreak
in Germany.
These have been very painful to tn
Jew as in that country he had fel

After reading H. v. Morton's I'm the
Steps of the Master" a travel book
about Palestine, Mrs. F. M. Wheeler
came to the conclusion that much OF
that country must be similar to our
own desert country along the banks
of the Columbia. The landscape around
Jerusalem is bare like our own With
few springs and no trees or shade Mrs.
Wheeler was reviewing the book before
the Woman's club meeting Wednes-
day afternoon.
She read portions of the book aloud,
touching particularly upon the tunnel
of Hezekia, the Dead Sea, the lost city
of Petra, the Mount of Olives and
other points of Biblical interest. In
Jerusalem at the church Of the Holy
sepulchre a group of black monks per-
form their prisons on the roof OF the
church, as they have been driven from
the interior. They are from Abyssinia
which was converted to the Christian
Coptic faith in 800 AID Mrs. Wheeler
also told about the tomb of Christ and
showed pictures taken in it.
Mrs. George Chase's topic was IAN
international Race" and she concerned
herself with the rise and fall OF the
Hebrews since the days of Abraham
and Isaac down to the present. After
the Jews enslavement in Egypt and
trek to Mt. Sinai, which witnessed the
birth of monotheism, and on to Pale-
slime they became united as a nation
and from then until the Diaspora, Of
exile, in 10 AID, their history Is re-
corded with fair accuracy in the Ole
Testament. After the Roman victory
and the expulsion Of the Jews IRON
Palestine they were scattered to al
the known corners of the world, mos
of. them joining Jewish settlements
which had long before been established
by Jewish traders and merchants.
With the end of their national lit

and cultural lives and during the Darl

HEADLINES

AFTER SPENDING several hours
fourteen miles above the earth, Cap
tains Orvil Anderson and Albert Ste
VEINS landed less than ESQ miles from
their starting point, Rapid City, S. D.,
thirteen hours after they had started
their stratosphere flight Monday morn
ing.
1t was the third time the men had
attempted to set a new altitude record
as we'll as to obtain scientific data
about the shakespeare. In their first
attempt several years ago. the big gas
bag broke far above the earth, but
the men took to their parachutes and
landed safely. In the second attempt,
several months ago, the bag burst just
before the flight was scheduled to start.
From height of $4,000 feet, the
curvature of the earth is plainly Wis
ible, the men said. The sky above them
was dark blue, at times seeming to
be a deep purple, while below it was
blue and sometimes white.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON'S
dreams of an invitation to the Rose
Bowl New Years Day burst Saturday
when California defeated the Husky
football team, 14-0, to maintain its
seat in the throne room of the coast
conference. Both teams fumbled and
kicked through an even-steven first
half until, with less than a minute to
go until half time, Haines, fleet Wash
ington halfback, funbled on his own
3O-yard line after signaling for a fair
catch of a California punt. California
recovered on the 25-yard line and from
there pushed over a touchdown. EARLY
in the third quarter the alert Califor-
MIA team again seized the breaks to
score another touchdown.

behind them, and with strenuous

Valley Mourns Loss
OF Beloved Pioneer

A partnership of forty-two years be-
tween Henry F, Thumm, Alaskan plo-
neer and his nephew, Henry A. Young,
was ended last Thursday evening, NO
vember z, by the passing of Mr. Thumm
at his White Bluffs home. Born IN
Fort Wayne, Indiana, in March, 1903,
Mr.. Thumm came west at the age OF
20, in 1888, the year before the great
Seattle fire, and established himself IN
the real estate business in that city
Attracted by the Alaska gold rush,
he joined a northward bound group
in 1897, making the trip on the steam
err Portland in company with eX-GoV-
ernor McGraw and General Carr. His
first stop was at Rampant but later
he went on to the Hot Springs coun-
try and for seventeen years was en-
gagged in mining. In 1903 he was
married to Miss Mary Fuller and to-
gether with Mr.. Young, they returned
to the states in 1914.
Coming to White Bluffs 81 years
ago, the partnership of Young ano
Thumm purchased and developed Rlv-
erby Ranch, an irrigated fruit anc
vegetable farm on the east bank Of
the Columbia river.
With MI Thumm the family name
in his line has persisted his six broth
ers all having preceded him to theil
reward. The one son of one brother
the only nephew of the name, was
killed in an automobile accident three
I weeks ago. MIR. Thumm is survived by
his widow and his nephew, Mr. Young
Christian Science funeral service:
were held Sunday afternoon at tWt
o'clock in Grange hall, White Bluffs
and interment was made in the White
Bluffs cemetery Graveside services
were conducted by the White Bluff:
Grange, the impressive service being
in charge of Mrs John Holecek, acting
master, and Mrs. Fl. H. Smith, chap
lain. Mrs. Frank Taylor sang "Leat
Kindly Light during the services. Pail
bearers were F. N. Hensley, Roy Glib
bins, Wesley Robbins, r. r. Woods, w
F.. Shaw and M. M. Wiehl.
Henry F. Thumm will be missed no
only by his immediate family but b.
the entire community. He WIS a maj
of sterling worth and character who
in his long residence here, had en-
deared himself to everyone by his higl
ideals in all human relationships an
by his lovable disposition. His religion
as he lived it in his daily life, wa
more eloquent than any sermon.
