Children's Day

1t was par excellence the day of
the children. They came in be-
wildering numbers. For the most
part they filled the pavilion and
the surrounding territory; men and
boys sought adjacent ball fields.
Young folks rode over the grounds
on rented bicycles, raced on the
track in miniature cars, coursed
through the air in swings provided
by the park board and simply
swamped those who were attempt
ing to feed them ice cream cones.
Business Man Helps
Ice cream was plentiful due in
part to a donation of ten dollars
given by W. Squire Neal to swell
the supply. Lunch was equally
plentiful and there was no need
for any one to be hungry amid the
plentitude of well filed baskets.
Standing in one spot one might
see every person he had ever
known and several hundreds he
had never seen before.
Every One There

Urges Use Of Caution
Advises Benton County Utility Dis

Information Before Acting

After reading the Public Utility /
Commissioners articles in the last
two issues of the Spokesman, the
writer, as a power and tax
payer in Benton County for the past
twenty years, wishes to ask the
power users and property owners
of Benton County:
Is it good business for us, as
property owners, to go into thls
experiment of distributing
power, in view of the meager
information that the Utility
Commission has, up to date,
been able to assemble?
In the Spokesman of November
18th, the Utility Commission re-
commended voting on the measure
of condemning the distributing
lines of the Pacific Power & Light
Company, distributing system
that has been in use for the past
twenty-five years; a distributing
system that will be, IN a few years,
that will be, in a few years, ready
for complete rebuilding. The
writer is Of the opinion that the
sold, rotten pole lines Of the p. 2. &
L. Co. would be a liability to the
Utility District if it were given to
the District free Of charge.
Now, in the Spokesman Of the
26th, the commissioners advise thai

FALL AND WINTER PEARS
GET SUBSIDY OF SOC A BOX

washington and Oregon will be
benefited to the extent of fifty
cents a box by a subsidy Of the
AAA for the surplus pears Of these
states.
In recent years, the development !,
of markets for washington and Or
.egon pears has not kept pace with
the rapid increase in production.
During the period from 1880 to 1885
Oregon produced 1870 and Wash
ington 27% Of all fall and winter
pears grown in the United States.
Production this year is Is percent
above the five year average and
further increase is expected for the
next few years, due to the number
of young trees due to mature and
bear fruit. During the past year,
fall and winter pears have sold at
prices orle-half or Less those Of the
pre- depression scale.
Naturally, pear growers have a.
Weakened to the urgent need for de-
veloping a wider market and have
been working strenuously with that
object in view. The subsidy re-
commends three types Of outlet for
the surplus crop: Shipment into
states not now normal markets for
these pears; 2-exports to certain
foreign countries; 3-diversion o.
the surplus to new uses, such as the
manufacture of pear concentrates
pear brandy, and by-products.
Pears of a grade equal to or bet
ter than u. S. No. 1, any one boz
or container being allowed a 2O%
variation, are those affected by thu
subsidy.
All the above makes good read

WHAT CHANCE HAVE THE

What chance will the republicans
have if Borah bolts the party as he
has threatened to do?
That's the question that is both
ering G. o. P. politicians. And you
can't blame them. Everybody ad-
mits that the republicans haven't
ghost of a chance unless they can
swing the liberal and progressive
vote, or at least a large part of It.

What chance will the republicans
have, even with Borah

PLENTY OF CASH ON HAND

The public reception Of the gov
is one C the most cheerful signs of
the times.
The treasury asked for one bill
lion; the public offered seven billi-
ons of dollars.
That shows two things-first,
that the American people have a
real and abiding faith in their own
government. For the past few years,
en- have croaked their doleful warn
ings that our government is on the
verge of bankruptcy. The public's
faith in the government, and its re-
fusal to adopt the philosophy OF
pessimism which the oracles Of
gloom have preached, is clearly
shown in the ver-subscription of
the bond issue.
The second thing shown by the
seven billion offer is that there is
loose money in this country.
The investors have shown their
confidence in the government by in
vesting their billions in it's bonds;
now it is UP to the same investors
to show the same confidence i'll our
economic structure by using the six
billion, which the government did
not need, to speed up the wheels OF
American industry
Any nation, with six billion dol
lars in cash ready to invest, can see
e. happy future ahead.

with those of other Western states,
recently announced by George E.
Farrell, director of the western re-
gion.
Calling attention to this fact, F.
e. Balmer, director of extension for
the State College Of washington,
points out to farmers who are Co
operating in the conservation pro-
gram that each individual farms

erage in proportion to it's productive

in certain counties according to the
amount of the farm in summer fall
low, including clean cultivated or
chards.
For instance, some of the counties
in the drfer portions of Eastern
Washington bear comparatively
low rate However, farms in these
counties which have much higher
yield than the average for the coun-
ty will receive higher payments
which will be similar to those OF
farms in other parts of the state
with equal yields.
The part that summer fallow
plays in the fixing Of rates. Is some
what more complicated. Farmers in
terested should see their committee
man or county agent, If they do not
clearly understand the provisions.
Based on the theory that summer
fallow is soil depicting 1t has been
included in the soil depicting base
in those counties of the state where
that method of farming is followed.
Because Of the fact that the feder-
all government Is permitted only a
limited sum to use in grants to
farmers, this added acreage. has
meant that rate for counties involved
has been necessarily reduced IN pro-
portion to the amount Of summer
fallow. In county in which In 1895
half the cultivated land in crops and
half In summer fallow the actual
county rate will be about half Of the

Comparative figures show that
Skagit county Washington with a
rate of $2430 is the highest of any
county in the nine western states.
Rates for many of the counties In
the drier southwestern states fall
far below the national $40 average.

to the comparative high productiv-
