Election Is
Quiet;Vo 2
Fairly Good
Four Aid erm e n
WithoutOpposition.
Assured of Election
for Two Years

Henderson had quiet municipal
election today for the choice of a
mayor and four aldermen for the next
two years. But a fairly heavy vote was
being cast. according to reports from
the several precincts.
The only contest was between
Mayor Irvine B. Watkins and Henry
T. Powell for the office of mayor. All
of the four aldermen candidates, now
members of the City Council, were
seeking reelection and were unoppos-
ed.
Total votes cast at the several poll
ing places were in number sufficient
ly high to be considered rather heavy,
although two years ago 1910 votes
were cast for mayor between the
same two candidates who today con-
tended for the honor.
Polls opened at sunrise and will
close at sunset this evening, at which
time the vote count will begin. 1t is
expected the result will be known in
a short while.

FIRST GRASS
COMES MAR. Is
Commercial Cutting Expected
to Begin About First
of April

This country has a big edge on
other sections Of the state in one
way, and that is, we have the first
cash crop on the market in the
spring. Crop returns come to this
district long before any other Sec
ton even begins to think about
them. OF course, it is the aspara-
gus cutting which brings in the
first money.
Several times in years past COM
mercial shipments have been made
along the middle of March. This
year, 1t looks as though the first
commercial packs will 60 out Of here
about the normal time Of the year,
near the first Of April. However, as
paragus Is on the local markets al
ready. The first to be brought to
town was q small cutting from the
patch of A. E. Howe.
This grass is grown in a protected
place, of course, and has q further
advantage in that warm water from
the Church plant is used for irriga-
ton. Mr.. Howe's first cutting was
on Monday Of this week.

holds a definite place in the hearts
Of thousands to whom the Wimpus
family are almost real people.
Some of the sayings of Desperate
Ambrose, one of the characters of
this strip, have almost become pro-
verbal. There is a tang to his
humor that is decidedly unique
Such observations as these are
typical:
"Applesauce is all right, but as
for me, I always watch there amt
no pill in it."
paw says aim alta star instead
Of shootin' down a well-y kin
never tell when a duck might be
flying over"
Desperate Ambrose's sayings are
not only humorous, but there is a
basis of hard common sense that
makes them doubly appealing. #
you want more of them start read
ing this strip in this issue. We
promise you'll never be disappoint-
ed.

GAME FARM is
BUSY PLACE
$500 Pheasants Cared for at
Local Plant; Let
1884 Birds Go

The state game farm Is liberat-
ing 1884 birds into nearby counties
at the present time, these being
the adult birds or those which have
been held over during the winter
There were $500 of these altogether
wintering at the farm with 1900 OF
them being held over for brood
stock.
The local farm furnishes the Wal
La Walla farm with their brood
stock with some 600 hens and l20
cocks being taken over there re-
Gently. The only difference between
the Walla Walla farm and the local
one is that the former is entirely for
incubation. according to Harold
Witham, local superintendent. The
brood stock is kept until they get
around thirty eggs then the pleas
ants are turned loose and in June
there is another Matching in the
fields.
Mr.. Witham says that they are
figuring on raising some 5000 birds
mostly to be Matched from domest-
ic eggs. There are now 1000 old set
ting hens at the farm for this pur-
pose.
He also says that from the exam
nations Of dead pheasant they find
that 80 percent of their feeding is
composed Of weed seeds and insects
such as asparagus beetles and cut
and wire worms. This proves that
the pheasants are Of very much
value to the farmer, he states.

poses were taken Of the farm. and
