Some time ago this column made
the suggestion that safety measures
be stressed in the schools as well as
in the homes+the idea being that
such instructions be given to the
children while they were still in
the formative stage. We are happy
to see that these suggestions have
been of help. The cooperation of
the schools and the highways de-
partment has been wonderful. The
children have received much bene-
fit from the talks and charts as
shown by Patrolman Kennedy at the
school and there is no way of tell
ing just what suffering, expense and
peehaps deaths have been prevent
ed by these measures. They have
certainly been well worth while.

MAKING TT PAY

MAKING IT PAY
The motorist who gets 100 percent
dividend out Of his car Is the one
who utilizes It to get out to meet
ings and conferences held to furth-
er the improvement and develop
ment Of his community; meetings
that are directly In his interest
since his own property is always In
volved in such plans as are under
discussion. He gets some more out
Of 1t when he uses 1t to attend So
cial gatherings, gatherings that
bring him into closer and happier
reunion with his neighbors. He
reaps dividends by giving pleasure
to those who do not have car Of
their own by taking them out for
an occasional pleasure ride. He
gets q return on his investment
when he uses It to take q vacation
jaunt into some distant community,
where he can see how others work
and play and live: where he gets a
broader vision Of the nation he lives
in and a better understanding of
those who are helping him to make
1t what 1t is. The Kennewick mo-
torist who uses his car for these
things can actually be said to come
mighty close to getting 100 per-
cent dividend out Of his car.

In q news story last week we made
an inexcusable error, and one for
which We sincerely apologize. In the
story on the front page concerning
the park benefit auction. we made
the statement that 1t was the first
benefit for the park. This Is in
correct, for it not only Is not the
first park benefit, but 1t isn't even
the first park benefit for the cur
rent year. The Woman's club gave
q series Of benefit card parties only
last month and $25 was realized
from this effort for the park and q
like sum, we understand, went
or will go the city library. The
interest which has been shown In
helping these two institutions Is
certainly gratifying to those who
have their management in charge.
II the limited city budget can be
supplemented somewhat this year,
perhaps the park and library can
continue to function In their accus-
toned manner. Nearly fifty dol
lars for the park was raised at the
last Saturday from the sale
Of the cars and the lot at Plymouth.

WE'LL SPENT

WELL SPENT
It would be a good idea for Ken
newick home-owners, as the season
for spring repairs draws near, to
bear in mind that dollar expend-
ed in this way means far more than
q good investment in comfort or ap-
pearance. It means, In addition, an
added value to the property itself
q dollar you get back through the
comfort it buys and which you also
get back, and with interest, at any
time you dispose Of the property.
Nothing declines in value more rap
idly than residential property that
is allowed to fall into a bad state Of
repair; and nothing enhances its
value more than keeping it in good
condition and looking good. Always
paint a house before selling 1t. The
difference in appearances alone
will bring you an increase in price
that will more than pay for the
paint job. Appearances, in a house
as well as an individual, count for
a great deal. Bear that in mind as
you plan to give your house the
spring repairs that should not be
neglected.

We overheard q woman in q To-

on having q certain brand Of cof-

that no other brand Of coffee would

every merchant knows that, and yet
there are merchants who fail to

few months after John F. Dore had
been installed as mayor Of Seattle,
q delegation Of women visited Olym-
pia. AS q result Of that meeting
with the Governor, Mayor Dore
characterized all the ladies who
made the visit as 'fur-clad hussies."
Maybe the "fur-clad hussies" had
something to do with the recent

realizes the importance Of the local
cannery to the community Do you
suppose that the price being offered

HINT OF SPRING

k1xN L OC oGkSAINo
There's no more positive evidence
that spring is on the way than to
glimpse the brightly-colored seed
catalogue peering through the lit
the glass window of a postoffice box,
or staring out from the bigger gal
vanized receptacle out along the
rural free delivery route. It Is safe
to assert that Spring is just around
the corner" when the seed cata-
logues begin to arrive.
While gardening around Kenne-
wick will doubtless be on as large
a scale this year as it was last,
making garden actually has become
a lost art with a majority Of the
present generation. The more
modern housewife contends that
she can purchase her vegetables
cheaper than she can grow them;
that she can get canned vegetables
as cheaply as she can afford to can
them herself. But that argument
doesn't go over with the old-timers
who know from experience that
nothing can offset or equal the sat
isfaction that comes with the pro-
duction-with your own hands of
that which goes to provide hvli-
hood. Gardens and chickens always
have meant independence to the ru-
raj and small-town families Of this
country. AS an old friend once said,
cts fine to know that when you
want q meal all you have to do is
go out and pull it up or wiring
its neck"
There's something about q home
garden that can't be figured in dol
lars and cents. There's happiness
tied up In a handful Of vegetables
fresh-pulled from your own patch
that all the can-openers In the
world can't match. So here comes
the seed catalogue, and right be-
hind 1t comes spring. It would be
q good time to settle the garden
argument to your own satisfaction.

if I didn't believe it, to lift up the

roll it over.

Commissioner of Revenue A. J.
Maxwell undoubtedly is a complete
convert to the theory that highway
funds should not be diverted to other
uses. Until recently he had been gen
orally regarded as the chief strategist
of the diversion forces.
Speaking to the automobile deal
ers convention at Greensboro today,
he said, after enumerating many
needed highway improvements.
"These and other demands for the
highway improvement ought to re-
move any further question of diver
sion of gasoline and motor vehicle
taxes. There is imperative need for
all this revenue on the highways and
it may be that we should temporarily
slow down tre rate of reduction of
highway debt until these necessary
improvements can be made. The nee
essity is apparent, and traffic is con-
stantly and rapidly increasing"

Speaking of Mr.. Maxwell, those who
are boosting. him for the 1910 guber-
material nomination, say they will
base their claims to preference for
the revenue commissioner on the fact
of his long service to the State.
They will point out that if ever a
man deserved promotion" because of
his wide knowledge and many achieve
ments in State affairs, Mr.. Maxwell
is the man.
The legislature meeting today has
only one member widely mentioned
as likely to be a 1910 governor can
didate. The one is Lee Gravely, sena-
tor from Nash county, who has been
boosted in many quarters.
