home and are ready to settle in our
midst. Only Is percent of the TO-
600 newcomers in Washington are
able to finance themselves for farm
operations, the remainder having to
depend on what aid can be given
them thru various agencies, princi-
pally the Resettlement Administra-
ton. These families need direct
ing in the choosing of farms Of
proper soil and other conditions.
They need all the equipment, live
stock and seed necessary to assist
them in working out a living.
Practically all the good avail
able farm land is taken thru the
Yakima Valley, additional lands in
plenty not having access to suffi-
cient irrigation water to make them
valuable. These new settlers do not
hope to more than make all exist
ence, but are glad to receive any
kind of aid to assist them in get
ting sterted. We cannot hope to
care for everybody right away, but
given sufficient time and available
funds, the problem will be gradually
worked out. Mr.. Stocking said.

DIGEST VOTES
DISTRIBUTED
NKENNEWICK
Local Citizens Get Ballots
in Nationwide Presidential
Poll; Ten Million Voters to
Receive Cards

Individual ballots have been mail
ed to voters of Kennewick and near
by communities in a new Literary
Digest poll of over 100000 per-
sons to ascertain who will be the
next president of the United States.
Washington's returns in this 1896
referendum will be Tailed as a unit
so they may be compared with the
voting in other states, it is an
nounced.
The voting of the postcard ballots
is secret as no signature or other
Identification is required and the re-
turn postage is paid by magazine.
To guard against tampering and
couhterfeiting a specially manufact-
ured cardboard is used for printing
the ballot, according to the spon-
sors of the poll, and all spurious
votes can be detected and destroyed.
The ballot asks the voters choice
of the seven officially nominated
candidates and for whom he or she
voted in the 1892 election to reveal
the general drift from one party to
another.
This is announced as the fourth
quadrennial national Presidential
poll conducted by The Literary Di-
gest. The three previous polls have
forecast the Presidential winner
with 'uncanny accuracy"
Ballots are reported being mailed
from the magazines headquarters in
New York at the rate Of over $780,
900 per day and will continue until
every section Of the country has
been sent its proportionate share
Of the total being mailed.
The Literary Digest states that
Just prior to the 1892 election it
predicted Roosevelt would get 5986
percent of the popular vote In his
campaign against Hoover. The Of
fetal returns showed that the Pres
ident received 59.14 percent of the
Roosevelt Hoover vote, revealing an
error of 0.72 percent in the maya
zines forecast.
A staff of more than 1000 addi-
tional employees is reported to have
been engaged by The Literary Di-
gest for the mailing of the ballots
and the tallying of the returns In
the forthcoming Presidential poll.

BY us. AGENCY
Virtually All Available Farm
Land in County, Now in Use;
$4,000 Loaned to Settlers
in District

A report received from A. D.
Stocking, Resettlement Representa-
tive for this district, located in Pas
CO, indicates that the rehabilitation
cases under his care, about so in
Benton county, are having an ex-
cellent year. OF nearly 5000 loan
ed, repayable over a five-year per-
iod, about 5000 has already been
paid back, altho most of the pay
ments are not due. until spring.
Mr.. Stocking points out that
many Of these cases were receiving
direct relief q year ago, and now all
of these cases are entirely independ-
ent. The value of the program can
not be measured in dollars and
cents, but rather in the records Of
h ONES and lives rebuilt, the i'm
proved health of the formerly de-
pendent families and the uplifting
of the morale of these people. A
deplorable stage Of condition has
been rectified, giving these people
new hopes and q definite future, by
the acquisition of farm machinery,
livestock and other things necessary
for progress.
It is gratifying to note that
children are now getting necessary
rations Of milk, and other food,
they are properly clothed for win
ter, and are more alert and inter-
ested in the common welfare of the
family.
The success Of this program cam
not be entirely claimed by the Re-
settlement Administration, as there
are other contigent factors. Chief
among these can be mentioned the
cooperation of local business mer
VINO assisted materially in debt adj
justment- some cases Offering to
reduce bonafide debts, and in other
cases giving waiver for period Of
five years.
Mr.. Stocking points out further
the problem confronting this
county and state due to the great
influx Of families from the drouth
area. A large number Of cars are
seen daily ON the roads, containing
people who have lost everything at

Q AM LINCOLN walked slowly
along the street gazing into
~ store windows. An icy wind
caught him at the corners but he
hurried across to the next curb in
tent on his mental shopping.
He was thinking hard of Cora,
too. Though not a word had been
spoken between them on the SUBJ
ject, it was quite understood that
he should buy her warm gloves,
warm sweater and stockings for
Christmas. He'd saved a fair
amount for this very purpose.
When you gave up your city living
for the country, you thought in
terms of wool. Cora needed all
these things. Her gloves were
worn down to thin spots. Her
sweater had been mended good
many times and her stockings
well, Cora just laughed about them.
Cora would. She had made fun of
every hard thing about changing
their home, from the dreadful
wheezy pump in the kitchen, to the
way the floors slanted in the bed
rooms, so that no pencil would stay
or a table, and books continually
slid off on the floor. Cora was a
thoroughbred and a good sport.
Sam looked at a green sweater.
That would be becoming to Cora's
light curls. Or that cheerful red
one. Nice on snowy winter morn
ings. The very chickadees would
sing with pleasure at sight of her
in that sweater. He took a few
steps toward the shop door when
his eye fell on a black-and-yellow
silk kimono.
Of course he would not get it;
just inquire the price so that he
might look at it.
The moment Sam touched
reverent hand to the exquisite silk
he was lost. Thrifty, hard-working
Sam! How could he have done
such a thing? And so calmly, too.
"Please wrap it up" he had said.
The price had been reduced in or
der to sell quickly. He walked out
of the shop with the light bundle
under his arm, and skunk by win
dows filled with warm woolen
clothes the kind Cora so sore
ly needed.

officer serving in this expedition
even though a court should de-
clare him innocent of treason. He
was Capt. Aaron Burr, who was
an aide on Arnold's staff.
Arnold's army consisted of
about 600 men and, although the
combined forces of the two
American commanders were
equal to that of Sir Guy Carle-
ton, the governor of Canada, the
British had the advantage of
more cannon and supplies and
the even greater advantage of a
fortified position.
On December Montgomery
received word that he had been
made a major-general for his
success in the Canadian cam
paign. Spurred on by the recog-
milton but even more by the criti-
cal situation in which he found
himself, Montgomery resolved to
attempt the capture of Quebec
as soon as possible. The term of
enlistment of many of his men
was expiring, smallpox was prev
alent in the camp and, with VIM
ter almost upon them, a pro-
longed siege of the place was out
of the question.
The Plan of Attack.
So the American commander
called council of war at which
it was decided to try to carry the
city by assault. False attacks
were to be made on the st. Johns
gate and other points along the
walls of the upper town to divert

Montgomery was an Irishman,
the son of a member of the Brit
ish parliament. Educated at
Trinity college in Dublin, he en-
tered the British army as an
ensign at the age of eighteen just
in time to take part in the last
struggle between France and
Great Britain for control of the
North American continent. Then
he was ordered to the West In
dies and fought in the campaigns
against Martinique and Havana.
Then he returned to New York
and a short time later went to
England where he became inti-
mate with many of the liberal
members of parliament.
Friend of the Famous.
He numb bered among his
friends such men as Edmund
Burke, Charles James Fox and
Isaac Barre but even their in
f1uence could not aid his claims
for advancement in the army. So
lie sold his commission in 1772
and returned to America where
he settled down as a farmer at
Kings Bridge, now a part of
New York City. There he met
and fell in love with Janet Liv-
ingston, the daughter of Judge
Robert R. Livingston, a leader
in New York colonial affairs, and
they were married in 1773.
When the dispute between the
colonies and the Mother Country
had reached an acute stage,
Montgomery had become such an
active and public-spirited citizen
in his adopted land that he was
sent as delegate from Dutchess
county to the first provincial con-
gress in New York City in May,
ITS.
While there he received word
that the Continental Congress
had decided to raise troops to de-
fend colonial rights and that
commission as brigadier-general
was to be offered to him. His
name was the second on the
list of eight who were given that
rank and the only one not from
New England.
Montgomery was detailed for
active duty almost Immediately.
Ethan Allen and his Green Noun
tain Boys, aided Ky Benedict Ar
mold, had captured Ticonderoga
and the path to the conquest of
Canada seemed open. Maj. Gen.
Philip Schuyler was to lead the
expedition with Montgomery as
second in command. His wife ac-
companied him as far north as
Saratoga where she bade him
goodbye. She never saw him
alive again.
A Campaign of Hardships.
Soon after the expedition start
ed, Schuyler fell i'll and the COM
mand devolved upon Montgom-
cry. Despite the mutinous con-
duct of his militiamen, the
shortage of munitions and the
difficulties of travel through the
wilderness, Montgomery's cam
paign began as brilliant sue
cess. He won at Isle aux Noix,
reduced the fortress at st. Johns
won again at Chambly and
forced the surrender of Montreal.
But Quebec still remained in the
hands of the British and Mont
gomery wrote to congress: "Till
Quebec is taken, Canada is un-
conquered"

the thought of his weak behavior,
that Cora rushed at him as he
opened the door, exclaiming, "My
dear, what dreadful thing has hap
pened to your"
They had an excellent if frugal
dinner. Cora chatted happily of
this and that, looking unusually
pretty and gay. Sam tried to meet
her laughter, but actually shivered
along his spine. Idiot! Fool!
Wretched unspeakable lunatic that
he was Would a yellow-and-black
Chinese kimono keep Cora warm?
1t would not.
Justice demanded that he con-
fess. Cora would be kind, and that
would hurt more than anything.
Cora would be kind and keep
right on feeling cold on the crisp
mornings after Christmas. But he
must do it muddle through
it somehow.
After dinner he came close to
Cora muttering something about
gift, and how dalned sorry he was
and please, please not to look
at him so sweetly.
Cora unwrapped the bundle. Sam
waited. The lovely shining thing
fell to the floor with the lights
cleaning on it.
.Oh oh I 1 never in
all my life saw anything so magnifi-
cent! For me? Surely, surely not for
me, Sam? But how I'd adore it!
