PULLMAN MAN
Kiwanis Speaker Finds NV
is Fertile Field for Planting
Idea of Overthrowing Our
Form of Government

Communism finds its most fer
tile field in the Pacific Northwest,
particularly in the state of Wash
ington," j. N. Emerson, merchant of
Pullman, Wash. told members of
the local Kiwanis club Tuesday
noon. you'd be surprised and as
founded to know of their actual &C
complishments here already" he
said. ......
ION this side of the mountains"
Mr.. Emerson stated, you do not
come into actual, open contact with
the organization like they do on
the coast. Yet right here in Ken
newick contacts have been made,
under various guises, with your
churches, your schools, among
workers, through the oranges and
through the several youth organi-
cations within these mentioned" he
said.
These entering contacts are clev-
erly disguised, Mr.. Emerson said,
but they seem to be able to get good
workers in every community they
tackle. Once the opening is made,
the follow up literature begins to
show the true colors of the scheme.
Mr.. Emerson said that he manag-
ed to get into the annual meeting of
the communism league in New York
and heard things about the party's
activities in the state of Washing
ton that startled him to such an ex-
tent that he determined to look into
the matter further upon his return
here. He found more, even, than
he expected and warned the club
members that the threat was not
an idle one, but deadly serious
menace to the welfare of the state
and county.
His investigations carried him
into several state institutions and
into the University, where he found
several Of the faculty who were
members Of the Communistic or
ganization. The lady senator from
King county, whose husband Is an
instructor at the University was q
member Of the Communist party.
The recent strikes on the coast have
all had their inception from the
Red headquarters and the labor un-
ions are being bored from within
and are now largely influenced by
the communistic propaganda being
subtly spread at every meeting.
Mr.. Emerson is conducting an ex-,
tensive investigation into juvenile
delinquency in his capacity Of chair
man Of the committee on under
privileged children for the Interna-
tional Kiwanis club? His condensed
report will soon become available
TO all Kiwanis clubs in United
States and Canada.

YAK. VALLEY
Blight Resistant Strain is
Solving Problem; Crop Fits
Well in Rotation Program
on Irrigated Farms

Prediction that the Yakima valley
will occupy prominent place in
the sugar beet industry of the west
was made by Paul E. Kirker of
Bellingham, field representative of
the Utah-Idaho Sugar Co., in the
Prosser Commercial club meeting
Tuesday.
He said that a strain of seed de-
veloped by government entomolo-
gists and sugar company experts
has solved the blight problem which
drove the sugar beet industry out
of the valley several years ago and
that growing sugar beets fits in well
in any crop rotation program.
The speaker traced the history of
sugar production and said that the
consumption of 100 pounds year
by each person in the United States
was equal to the consumption in any
nation in the world.
1.-THE United States produces only
Is percent of the sugar it uses" he
said. Sugar used in European coun-
tries is of such an inferior quality
that it would not be accepted by
Americans"
He stressed the importance Of
patronizing washington industries
and said that beet sugar production
was wholly a Washington enter
prise, for the state, the sugar Is re-
fined in Bellingham and other ma
terials used in producing the finish
ed product are obtained in the state.

LAST DAY In
CIR CONTEST
Cash Put Up for Second and
Third Prizes; Trip to Start
March 23; Standings Same
as Last Week

VIC fioW SiicSi IilC liOitic oIiCOStl
in the Kennewick Better Times
contest. Next Wednesday evening
at eight O'Clock, western standard
time, the time for depositing the
little coupons will come to an end.
At one minute past eight, the bal
lot box will be opened and no more
coupons will be accepted. From
then on the judges will be busy for
hours, probably, to determine the
winner.
The winner will receive, absolute
ly free. ten day trip to sunny Cal
ifornia and into romantic Old Mex
leo with side trips thru the world
famous China Town in San Fran
cisco, an ocean trip to Catalina Is
land where the movie colony has
its playground and where the flying
fishes fly and the glass bottomed
boats ply through clear blue waters
Of the ocean. III
The trip will be made on spec
ial train which leaves Seattle on
the evening Of March %. On the
train will be girls from other towns
winners in similar contests -
from Washington, Oregon and even
from Alaska.
Every expense, even including the
tips for the porters, will be includ-
ed. Special insurance policies will
be taken out for the trip, covering
every girl individually.
Special chaperones, guides and
train attendants win accompany the
lucky girls turnout their entire trip.
The special hotel, bus and enter
tainment features. arranged by the
Northern Pacific Railway Co., and
sponsored by the Washington Press
Association, Of which this paper is
q member. are al uniting to make
this one Of the outstanding events
Of the kind ever pulled off in the
West. The trip win show the girls
numerous points Of interest not
ordinarily available to the casual
traveller.
It Is impossible for everyone to
win, Of course. Nor do we know
who the winner viii be. But to soft
en- the loss to the girls who place
second and third In this race we
are offering cash prizes. We'd like
to be able to give substantial prizes
to ali who have worked In the race,
but naturally this is impossible.
We'd like to see all three Of the high
point winners take the trip. This,
too, is impossible.
So, to compensate them, as far
as possible, for the work they have
done, we are offering to the young
lady placing second in the contest,
q cash prize Of $25. To the young
lady having the third highest num-
Der Of votes, we will present a cash
prize Of SO.
There is no change this week,
either, in the relative standings of
the three high contestants. Miss
Elaine Petitjean is still in the lead;
Miss Pearl Richards, Richland, has
second place and Miss Mildred
Wade is third. The other contest
ants are as shown in the table be-

DISTRICT GOES
OVER TOP FOR
THE HOSPITAL
Local Organizations Make a
Good Showing in Drive to
Add to Equipment; Detail
ed Financial Statement

Some have wondered what would
be done with the money raised in
the community served by Our Lady
of Lourdes hospital. It is all to be
used for necessary equipment for
the hospital. Three things were
mentioned in general meeting OF
women held at the hospital, at the
beginning of the drive, which were:
oxygen tent, therapeutic lamp and
Hawley table for setting fractures
and broken bones.
The total amount raised in Ken
newick and vicinity is $123 so. Rich
land raised $50, which makes to-
tai of $203.50 for Benton county.
The committee states that any
one or any group who still wishes
to make cash donations should not
feel that the time Of stress Is over,
but bring In their donations. It
will be used for adding, some new
equipment for the hospital that
serves our communities.
Each individual of the commun-
ity who worked within an organi-
cation, or who donated Of his own
accord and separately toward the
hospital benefit fund, can feel that
he personally has done his bit to-
ward making it possible to fight dis
ease with the best that science has
to offer.
The day, last week, the new oxy-
gen tent was delivered to the hos
pital it was put into use within an
hour after it was unpacked.
Yesterday an Alpine lamp was
added to the newly purchased oxy-
gen tent. The rays Of this lamp are
said to have the same healing pow
er Of the rays Of the sun In the
country Of the Alps. This lamp Is
used in the treatment Of rherma-
tism, neuritis. infections, even In
the treatment Of tuberculosis. A
Macintosh Biolite lamp has been
added, too.
Up in the laboratory there Is in
stalled the very latest model Of
Clorimeter. This is used in blood
chemistry and is an instrument that
every up-to-date hospital feels that
it must have In its equipment.
To date there has been banked
from all the surrounding commun-
tiles Of Benton and Franklin coun-
ties $730.55. Checks have been writ
ten as follows: $30785 oxygen tent,
plus freight; 1923 for the Alpine
lamp; $9.75 for the Biolite; SIS for
the Colorimeter. Total money spent
to date $4,000, leaving q balance In
the bank of $10e95 The purchase
of Hawley table for use in plastic
surgery is still planned.
