AID IN SIGHT
With figures showing that $500
lives were lost and 500, 900 900 in
property destroyed last year by
fires in the farming sections Of the
country, the U. s. Chamber of Com
merce has stepped forward with
what appears to be the best plan
yet devised for curbing such waste.
The Chamber plans national rural
fire prevention movement, with a
branch in every town about like
Kennewick. In its effort there will
be enlisted the aid Of the Boy
Scouts, the Parent Teachers asso-
citation, farm organizations. the
rural press, etc. A little study Of
it shows that it has the earmarks Of
worth while program, and it
should receive the heartiest sup
port of the entire public. With fire.
fighting equipment unavailable in
rural areas, the only other recourse
is to preach and practice fire pre-
vention. Fire losses, as last years
figures reveal, are so great as to
demand every possible effort to
curb them.

AMERICAS SHAME

When an important industry re-
ports a labor shortage these days 1t
is real news. And when, despite
such condition, relief rolls in that
same section show a steady increase;
there is food for some sober thought.
The N. Y. Dept. of Agriculture re-
Gently issued bulletin In which 1t
said: MANY farmers of New York
state are seriously handicapped,
and were even in the dull winter
season, by a scarcity Of labor" The
reason as set forth is the unwill-
ingness of city idlers to leave the
security and assistance given them
by public and private agencies when
they become unemployed in indus
try. They would rather be paid for
loafing in the city than take a job
for pay on the farm. And this is
the kind of reports that is making
taxpayers around Kennewick sick
and tired of "relief" as it is now
doled out in every section of the
nation. It is reports Of this kind
which are certain to hasten clean
up of the whole mess.

uNsuNG HEROES

There are heroes to be found in
all walks of life, and every time we
read or hear Of their exploits our
faith in the finer quality of hui
man nature seems to be b0lStered
anew. Down one of the steep noun
tains in western Pennsylvania, a
Maryland driver was guiding his
heavily laden truck. He discovered
that his brakes were not working,
and almost at the same time he saw
two passenger cars approaching. To
avoid the impending collision he
risked his own life by taking q
chance and turning the big truck
into a side road. It crashed into
the bank, upset, and he lost his
life beneath the wreckage. Unself-
ishness Is always a mark of true
heroism. This unheralded truck
driver gambled with his own life to
save the lives of others. He lost
the gamble, and the penalty was
death. The great Book Of Life
cannot record deed more heroic.

Dear Ralph:
I cannot resist the impulse to
send you this clipping from the
Tulsa World. The, Gross Roads
Scribe" has evidently been reading
your paper. Down here where re-
publicans are very scarce, the lead
ing paper published in Coal County
is The Courier, a republican paper.
The democrat paper has an ignor-
ant, narrow minded editor that even
the democrats can't swallow so they
take the other paper. However, I
feel this is q coincidence. Two pa
pers with same name, same political
complexion, nearly 5000 miles apart
and both leading papers in their
respective counties.
Now something about the argu-
ment between you and Mr.. Krack.
I agree with you in regard to early
potato outlook. Back here we
have had ample rainfall and the
potato growers are worried over the
price prospects.
Too long Western growers have
been encouraged by associations to
plunge into heavy paintings on "a
hunch." will give you some prices
that producers are getting at pres
ent time: eggs, lie; cream No. 1,
Csc; heavy poultry, lie to 12c; corn
SOC bu.; potatoes. $1.35 per 100 ID.

Communicated
Call for Action

To the Editor-The w. G. T. u.
was organized for the purpose Of
carrying on a campaign against the
liquor traffic, alcohol then being the
main point of attack
It has been several years since we
had to put up strong argument to
prove that alcohol was poison in
stead of food. That it is poison
most people now are willing to adj
nit. Opium in those earlier days was
the one other main poison the w.
c. T. U. opposed the use of. But
these later days cocaine, aspirin, CO.
coacola, cigarettes, antitoxins, SER
ums and many other narcotic pois-
ons and drugs must come in for OPP
position. If we are to oppose one
poison why not all poisons, each and
all have the same effect, no matter
how .sed, of lessening the resisting
powers of the system for throw
ing off disease. To narrow down on
just alcoholics without including all
the other narcotic poisons is incon-
sistent with the original idea Of
what we were organized for.
The w. G. T. U. all over the civil
lied world will hold Frances willard
Memorial meetings. To be true to
the principles our great leader stood
by and worked SO hard for, and the
purpose for which we were organ
lied We must work for, as Miss Will
lard put it, total abstinence for the
individual and prohibition for the
state and nation" If we are true
to our colors as w. c. T. us we will
do our best to keep out any laws,
rulings or regulations to force the
use of narcotics and the knife upon
us, one and all alike with no redress
or chance to exercise our individ-
ual rights as good American citi-
zens and taxpayers. We owe it to
ourselves as citizens in the inter-
est of our home making, in the
larger sense of the words, to oppose
any measures that interferes with
that ideal. We earnestly urge the
white Ribboners" everywhere to
make supreme effort, as you know
how to do, to let the local and state
officials know where we stand. What
will you do for constructive meth
DDS rather than destructive? do
your bit" or later accept the i'm
proved conditions after some one
else has made more than their share
of effort for these things.

..HE IS R1sEN,"

Life. earth's greatest gift to the
human race, has taken on bright
er hue within the past few weeks,
for the season of Spring has re-
turned and with it deeper evil
dence of this gift, and its meaning
to mankind Again the green gets
back into the trees, the flowers put
forth their bloom the song OF Gods
feathered. songsters is heard in all
the land. It is the season of resur-
Tection.
Who is there to stand among men,
amid all this evidence of life, and
of a newborn life, and doubt the
promise of He who said in the ages
past II will give We a new heaven
and a new earth?" Who can un-
watch the unfolding of his natural
blessings to mankind as Easter, the
day of resurrection approaches, and
question mankinds nativity, his
way of salvation or his ultimate
fate? Surely if all other proof fail
ed of divinity that shapes our
ends, the Easter season would be
sufficient
Deep down in your heart as the
anniversary morn approaches there
must be an inspiration Of the new
life on all sides, the new beauties,
the new desire to sing aloud the
praise of One who alone knows the
plan along which the old world
moves. Who alone has compass
over all living, breathing within it.
And again, as this old world
comes to shout the gladdest mes
sage that ever fell from human lips
Tie is risen!" surely there is not
one citizen of Kennewick but who
finds joy and gladness and hope and
faith in its meaning to mankind.
It is the Eastertide- day of
new life, new inspiration. Take new
hope, therefore, all We children Of
an all-high God, and let not your
heart forget the story Of it, for
it is the story OF the SalSa.sc1 ..
the world.
