Going Mad in Public
(Bremerton News-Searchlight)

Eccentric in the extreme appears the newest fad in the art world known surrealism Craziy draped in the hitherto fairly respectable mantle of modern art this display of queer pictorial effort which is causing furor in New York exhibits, cannot hope to attract any but lovers of the bizarre Motivated by the morbid thought that dreams have tremendous importance and should be interpreted through the medium of art, many quite capable artists (moreS the pity) have cast aside all nhbitions and their canvases with the silly flounderings of their uncontrolled imaginations Super-sophistcates will doubtless give these outbursts of weird mental healthiness more than their rightfu support, since they undoubtedly amuse. However the message or surrealsm is obscure dangerously irrational that one feels only sympathy for those artists whose lurid babbings hang museum walls. It is too much like advertising alteration All can hope is that it won't last

BIG WHEAT YIELD

The nations wheat crop is now
at stage where 1t Is possible for
experts to make pretty accurate
forecasts of its size, and their an
nouncements that it will be the the
largest since 1892 should be cheer
ing news to all Kennewick citizens
who realize that the country'S pros
perity largely hinges on this cereal.
Even the most conservative grain
experts place the probable total yield
this year at more than $50, 600 900
bushels of winter and 10000, 900
bushels of spring wheat. That, they
point out, will be enough for the
country's own domestic needs, with
enough left over to fill the empty
grain elevators of Europe. Always
in the past when America had grain
enough for her own use and some
for export, times were relatively
good. So in that old rule one finds
time for rejoicing at this time. With
a bumper wheat crop, and all other
grain crops in proportion, as now
appears to be the case, the sun of
prosperity rises higher in the sky.
May nothing interfere to check its
ascendancy.

KEEPING COOL

For several weeks to come Ken
newick citizens may expect to hear
the familiar old summer question:
Els it hot enough for you?" While
hoping, of course, that the weather
man doesn't go to extremes, as he
did last summer. they realize there
is no possible way to escape a GER
tain amount of torrid weather, but
as usual are unprepared to meet it
in the most comfortable way.
Along this line the advice of a
famous Chicago physician recently
broadcast over the radio should be
of particular interest. He says the
best thirst-quencher is cool water
with a small amount Of salt dis
solved in it, because perspiration
lowers the water-level of the body
and produces symptoms from the
body tissues. Eat lightly, he advises,
and avoid fats and fried foods.
Plenty Of green vegetables and
fruits are recommended, along with
salads and ice cream. But he warns
against too much pie and cake.
Close the doors and draw the
blinds in the house during the day,
he says, and that will help to beat
the heat. Then at shutdown when
the blinds are raised the tempera-
ture in the room should be several
dgeeres cooler than If they had not
been drawn. But possibly the best
suggestion Of all he saves for the
last, though for a great many peo-
pie it will be the hardest to observe.
Here it is-take it for what it is
worth:
take it easy! Don't hurry! And
try to forget there are such things
as thermometers"

DoDG1NG TAXES

DODGING TAXES
To the average Kennewick citi-
zen, who pays his taxes even tho
it means tremendous sacrifice, the
action of many of the nations
wealthy men Is abominable, to say
the least. They know it is sort OF
second nature with some people to
try to beat the government, but they
can't understand In this connection
how lawyers, supposedly "officers
of the court" and sworn to uphold
the laws of the land can lend them
selves to the practice Of aiding and
abetting tax-dodging, as many of
them are actually doing. Today
scores Of lawyers are accepting pay
for seeking ways and means where
by rich clients can beat the law by
legal technicalities. In the eyes Of
the average man such lawyers are
as despicable as the tax-dodgers
themselves. It might not be bad
idea for the bar associations Of the
country to do a little house clean
ing within their own ranks. It would
as least help to put a little higher
premium on honesty.

States Farmers
.Okeh Farm Plan

Washington farmers believe that
the 1898 agricultural conservation
program should generally follow the
provisions Of the 1897 federal farm
plans, members Of the state conser-
walton committee decided after re-
viewing county recommendations at
recent meeting at the state extern
sion headquarters at Pullman.
Recommendation from the coun-
ties were examined and summarized
and sent to Washington, DC, with
recommendation of the state COM
mittee. These will be discussed in
the state and in Washington, DC.
as plans for the 1898 conservation
program are formed. County rec
concentrations were made by farm
ers in meetings in each Of the coun-
ties. . ....-.
The state committee recommended
that the present proportion of pay
ments. 60 percent for diversion from
soil depicting crops and 40 percent
for soil building and soil conserv-
ing crops be continued. They did
recommend, however, that practice
rates for orchards be raised and
that the soil building allowance for
orchards, small fruits and truck
crops be increased.
Most Of the counties favored some
plan Of weed control.
Counties in the drier areas of the
state asked that the maximum pay
ment earnable for planting crested
wheat grass be established for that
practice separately, SO that farmers
might obtain all the payments pos
sible.
Wheat will be included In the
regular soil-depleting base In 1898.
the AAA has announced after a re-
cent two-day meeting in Washing
ton, DC. to decide whether some
special arrangement should be made
for wheat in view of possible larg-
er paintings. F. e. Balmer, director
Of extension, and J. M. McGregor,
state conservation committeeman,
we're the two representatives from
this state at the national meeting.

DANGEROUS BLONDES

DANGEROUS BLONDES
II she drives an automobile at
night q blonde is not as safe q
driver as is a brunette. So says q
distinguished New York optician. It
has been ascertained that when the
lights Of an oncoming car hit a
drivers eyes, he drives blind for a
number of feet. It takes from one
fifth to one and one-fifth seconds
to recover natural night-driving
vision. Now the blends, says the
eye expert, with light eyes taking
far longer than the brunette with
dark eyes to recover from glazing
light and should, therefore; drive
much slower. This is not an argu-
ment so much for the elimination of
blondes as night drivers as it is for
rigid laws and efficient enforcement
against glazing headlights on auto
mobiles being driven over the tl1oro-
fares of the country at night.

10000 MORE ACRES PLANTED
TO FORAGE IN STATE

Nearly ten thousand acres Of cror
land in the state of Washington
that has been abandoned or was be-
ing operated at a loss due to ero-
sion, has been devoted to the pro-
duction Of forage crops, the Soil
Conservation service has informed
F. e. Balmer, extension director of
the State College Of Washington.
Reports from cooperating farmers
indicate that this acreage over a
five-year period, will bring to its
owners an added income Of nearly
half-million dollars.
The paintings consist mainly of
permanent seedlings of grasses and
legumes in regions of lower rain.

FUTURE SAFETY

Teaching the youngsters how tx
drive autos safely may not help thu
oldsters Of today very much, but II
appears to be the only way this
country will ever become safety
minded. The drivers Of the present.
day seem to be hopeless.
There are now several million
young people who are not eligible
under the law to operate automo-
biles. Within five years these young
people, now in the upper school
grades, will be driving. In 10 years
still another group, equally numer-
Gus, will be ready to start doing the
same thing. So while not abandon
ing the attempt to educate present
drivers, why would it not be good
idea to start in at once on the in
tensive training of these future driv-
ers? And where Is there more fit
ting place for teaching than safety
than In the school rooms of the ma
ton?
It may be necessary to convert q
great many teachers to the idea be-
fore it could be put into general use,
but insofar as teachers around Ken
newick are concerned there is rea-
son to believe they would be willing
and anxious to add regular course
In safety and safe driving as part
Of the school course. Provided with
proper text books, they would be
powerful force in shaping the minds
Of the youngsters toward the need
Tor absolute care and extreme skill
in the handling of motor car.
Such instruction, while requiring
but few moments time each day.
would make the drivers Of five or
ten years from now so capable that
human life would not be slaughter
ed at the rate of $1,000 year, as at
the present time. If the toll could
be worth all and more that safety
education In the school would cost.
