Aged Matron Passes.

Mrs. Titus Smith Grant passed
away last Friday night at the home
OF her daughter, Mrs. Swift Hunter,
death being due to the infirmities
OF old age, she being IS wears
old at her death. Short funeral
services were held from the Gompf
chapel Tuesday afternoon, with the
Rev. H. W. Woods officiating. The
body was shipped to Spokane for
cremation.
Margaret Clark was born at St.
johns, New Brunswick, Jan. |, 1853.
where she received her early edu-
cation, grew to young womanhood
and when 10 years of age was woed
and won by Titus Smith Grant.
10 this union were born five
children, three daughters and two
sons, both sons having passed to
tnelr reward more than three de-
cades ago. The daughters, Mrs.
Mark Fillmore, whose home is in
Ferndale, Calf; Mrs. E. P. Hol-
gren, of Missoula, Mont, and Mrs
Swift Hunter, of Libby, with whom
the deceased had made her home
for more than 80 years.
In 1893 the family moved from
New Brunswick to Michigan, and
SIX years later they came to make
their home in Anaconda, where the
deceased came to be with her
daughter.
Early in life she united with the
presbyterian church, to which she
remained loyal member until the
close OF her earthly pilgrimage.
On Friday night, last, near the
midnight hour, her soul slipped
quietly and peacefully out Of the
house of clay, that had been its
abode for more than four score
years, on its last journey to that
bourn from whence no traveller
e.er returns and where she will
clasp glad hands with loved ones
who have gone on before.

Dedicated 10 Our Friend and
Citizen. Dave ROyIe.

There's a vacant chair in little
store on Second street. And many
of us will miss the kindly face and
form that rested there. Old-timers
often came in to chat with Dave and
swap yarns of days gone by. Now
Dave is gone, his spirit departed
the out-lived clay. But we will al
ways cherish the thought that we
knew him and called him our
friend.

Poultry Record Must
Be Studied Carefully

A poultry record is of little use
unless it is carefully kept and then
analysed periodically to determine
weak points in the poultryman's
program, says e. T. Robertson of
the State College of Washington
poultry department.
Nearly every poultrynan keeps
some sort of a record, but this rec
ord is not assembled and studied.
1t is usually kept on calendar on
the wall, in the food room, or other
such places.
The ideal set of poultry records
should be simple and yet complete.
1t should include an egg record
which is kept in the poultry house
to record the number of eggs and
mortality It should also include a
book in which to record the feeo
purchased and the eggs and culls
sold. If such record is kept, it
should be brought up to date each
month. This record is useless I'M
less it is analysed.
The next step should be the care
full analysis at the end of the
month to determine the percentage
lay of the flock; the per cent NOR
tality; the feed cost per dozen
eggs; the feed cost per bird, and
so forth. At the end of the year
this record can be compared with
former years to discover changes
that have occurred.
County extension agents have
poultry record books which are
available to poultrymen interested
in keeping a record of their hocks
They also will be interested in as
sisting with a study of these rec
ords which help make poultry pay,

hold the reins in their hands and
we will do just about as they wish.
The writer since coming to White
Bluffs has been in Olympia twice,
to confer with the state superin-
tendent regarding high school mat
tiers; the first time during the sum,
mer of 1885 and at his own eX-
pense and again to represent the
district in working out an arrange
ment whereby the Hanford high
school could finish out their school
year after their unfortunate dis
aster. County Superintendent Ethel
Van Syckle, MIR. Whitwer and Mr..
Wooten were in attendance. Plans
were completed whereby the high
schools were merged with no addi-
tional expense to either school. The
state at that time strongly urged
us to get together as soon as pos
sible. so that we could give our
entire schools a better and more
economical set-up.

Family Should Have
Budget AS Guide

Wants and more wants" is usu
ally the perplexing problem con-
fronting the average family when
money income is scarce, and mon
ey is always a scare article in the
face of wants, says Miss Helen
Steiner, assistant county extensions
agent.
During the past year the aver
age farm family in the United
States had a higher income than
they had since 1929 through in
creased price on farm products. a
more nearly normal crop and the
cost of production not too high in
comparison with the prices of farm
products.
Recent forecasts for the farm
family however, do not paint such
a bright picture for 1888. The in
come will probably drop lower than
in 1887, due to great drop in the
price of farm products with pro-
duction costs remaining about the
same as those in 1887 or only
slightly lower. This means that the
farm family which carries out
careful plan based on economic
forecasts will be further ahead and
able to, maintain a higher stand
ard of living than the family which
does not plan.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1938-02-18

and White Bluffs have met in Joint
session with officials of the present
state administration of school af-
fairs and tried to work out an eff
Gent an economical school system
for the valley. Plans for centrally
located school embracing COM
plete grade and high school sys-
tenl. were suggested by us and dis
cussed with state officials who
turned thumbs down on it, stating
that the White Bluffs high school,
was adequate for the present and
that it would be economically I'M
sound to Trap it as many other
schools in the state were holding
school in crowded buildings inferior
to it. Through the state high school
inspector and legal council we were
informed as far as the state is con.
oere,ed and thew ara furnishing. as
you can readily see by the above
figures, about rs per cent of our
finances that there will never be
any state aid for high school in
Hanford or any state aid for d
grade school at White Bluffs. Either
district could hold an election ana
vote bonds to erect such schools
as they deem necessary but as the
state usually furnishes the money
to cover these bonds they seem to

POLITICS STILL COOL

For the first time in several campaigns,
progressing rapidly into an election year with
signs of activity along the political front.
There have already been several occasions
suitable for the inauguration of campaign ora
tory, but they have provided little but a brief
squirt of interest which has rapidly died away.
The Democrats jackson Day dinners are now
almost forgotten They provided a few headlines
of national interest but no impetus to local cam
paigns nor did they to awaken the voters
to the coming elections
More recently. the Republicans celebrated Lin
coins Birthday With banouets and speeches, but
there little else on the MENU and they, too,
are now forgotten.
1t may be that the outcome of next falls cleo
tions is already conceded by all partsans and that
the public can, once again, rela-, undi:Hnhe1 !
the chant Of the politician
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1938-02-18

1t is about time that the resi-
dents of school district No. Z were
waking up to the fact that the
grade school is liable to be discon-
tinued in this district and taken
to district No. 20.
Now are we interested in saving
money or not? What would be
cheaper, to move 1876 grade scholars
to the neighboring school or take
steps to raise money to improve
the present building so that We
will have AN adequate building to
house the grades in?
1t would seem that we, the pro-
perty owners, should step out on
the line and start thinking what
it means to us if the school is
moved from here. Let us get behind
the school board and if they need
any support give it to them in
every way possible but make it
plain that we do something to
hold the school here.

SUPERIOR" WASHINGTON

For several years we have been at loss to de-
scribe in just what district of the state of Wash
ington the Priest Rapids valley is located. Since
it is too far north and west to be included in that
section known as Southeast Washington, and too
far south and east to be designated as part OF
Central Washington it is always a problem to
select the geographical designation which fits
this section.
We have however, finally arrived at conclu-
sion which we believes solves the problem once
and for ALL Noting that that portion OF California
which can be included in neither the southem*or
northern part yet combines some of the attributes
of both, is sometimes referred to as 'Superior'
California; we believe that this particular local
ity should be known as Superior Washington
There is no doubt that the appelation is a fit
ting one. From the standpoint of climate, produce
tivity and every other standard, this district is
decidedly superior
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1938-02-18
THE PARK PROJECT

A number of worthwhile projects have been
completed within the valley during the past few
years, and it is time for the community to get
behind another-a park along the river.
Some of the preliminary work has already been
done, but a great deal still remains. Whether
not it becomes part Of the state program, there
should be a szable fund accumulated by the com
nunity to take care of many of the details that
will arise.
Saturday nights dance provides an opportun-
ity for many of us to do share in the project
Whether we dance or not, the purchase of ticket
will provide part of the financial assistance that
is needed.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1938-02-18

Due to more or less miSunder-
standing which might work against
the good of our schools, it seems
in fairness to the patrons of the
district that statement of the
facts would be proper at this time.
When I came to the White Bluffs
schools in 1884 the district was in
a serious condition financially, with
a warrant indebtedness of about
$4,000 and a bonded Indebtedness
of over $4,000, principle and in
terest, some of which was in de-
fault, and the banks were refusing
to cash current warrants. The
school board, with the same pei
sonnet as at present, were faced
with real problem. They met the
issue squarely; salaries were pared
to the limit and every item in this
budget was shaved; at the same
time the high standing of the
school was maintained and the
only criticism from the state de-
partment was a high teacher ,turn-
over which has since taken care OF
itself.
During the past four years the
bonded Indebtedness has been cut
to minimum of $4,000 and the
warrant Indebtedness at the end of
the school year should be neglt-
gible. During this time the school
has been run we'll within the bud
get, even saving enough to be able
to aid in finishing the community
hall In 1887 the state inspector of
public funds congratulated us OH
the financial condition of District
No. Z and the conduct of it's bust
ness.
The budget for the combined
Grade and high school of White
Bluffs for the school year 1937-38
amounts to approximately $16,718,
all Of which, with the exception
of $4,000 is raised outside of oul
district. A new law which went in
to effect this year makes $1,000 the
minimum salary for either grare or
high school teacher compulsory
| honc eforth. This has increased the
cost of our schools materially ana
makes it impossible for either
White Bluffs or Hanford to have
an accredited school without the
hid nf the other district under
II cent conditions.

Can Deadlock Tech in Grid
Series by Victory Over
Raiders Tomorrow.

With Quarterback Benny Steiner TO
lead the plunging and Tony Di Blasi
and Jimmy Porter to do the passing,
Central is expected to have a strong
and varied attack to send in against
Roosevelt in tomorrow's irfterhigh
football series game at Central. Play
starts at $3.50
Another potent factor which makes
the Mount Pleasant team a favorite
in the contest and which gives their
game good deal of the deception for
which it is noted this season is Jimmy
Clark, the Blue and Whites right end
Clark, taken from the backfield, has
shown his versatility in not only play
ing good defensive game, but by pull
ing out frequently and carrying the
ball on end-around plays
Central is undefeated in the series
and has won victories over Western
and Anacostia. and in tomorrow tilt
goes out with the purpose Of pulling up
even with Tech. now in first place with
three straight. Should Central win as
expected, the game next Friday be-
tween Central and Tech possibly will
decide the title this year.
Roosevelt has dropped it's two series
games this year, and although it was
held scoreless against Tech it managed
to run up 13 points before going down
before Western, just one point less
than Central scored in defeating the
Red Raiders. Roosevelt, however. has
not displayed the varied and consistent
attack that Central possesses.
