MissOurians Lose Corn
Crop for Eighth Year

The most beautiful prospect
Bates county ever had for q corn
crop is gone. Gone with the winds
dry and hot winds. Every DAY
for two weeks, the temperature
ranging around 100 and the wind
doing the cooking. Corn stalks are
cooked to the first shoot. Those
who had early corn were hopeful,
but their lip has dropped. Possibly
half crop on the early corn, but It
will be of no quality. For eight
years in row It's the same story.
The July and August heat without
rain has ruined the corn"
The above is the opening para
graph of the first story on the front
page of the Adrian (Missori) jour-
nal, which paper comes to the J.
b. Brown home each week. The
entire story is a repetition OF the
facts above related.
Mr.. Brown says that the people
still remaining in that country 90
so because they can't realize that
there are other places In the world
to live. They stay and become more
hopeless every year and further ana
further into debt. He can't under
stand why it IS that the people
don't all gather up their Things
and come to Kennewick.

Parents Cooperation
Needed, Says Nurse

The new county nurse, Miss
Margaret Dietz, makes a plea to
parents. Children who are not well
should be kept at home and not
sent to school. A sick child is not
only a source Of danger to his
school, but he cannot learn II he
is feeling sick. The sick child, says
Miss Dietz, has not as good a
chance Of getting well when he Is
in school as when he stays at home.
Parents, look at your children be-
fore they start off to school and be
sure they are well.

Smith Motor Co.
Oldest Garage in
This District

E. G. Smith is this month start
ing on his seventeenth year as a
Ford dealer. His sixteen years as
garageman makes him dean of
dealers in both Kennewick and
Pasco.
Old timers in the community will
recall that the year he started in
business, 1926, was the year of the
"big freeze" And since that time
two. major depressions have hit the
district. Mr.. Smith recalls that his
first sale was made to John Erick-
son Of Richland, who purchased q
Model T Ford. Mr.. Erickson has
continued to be q Ford user since
that time.
Several other car purchasers Of
that first year have continued to
use Fords, some Of them driving as
many as ten new cars during that
period.
Mr.. Smiths policy, ever since he
started his business, has been to
keep his shop the best equipped In
the district. AS fast a. new equip
ment has been perfected. he has
been among the first to install It.
He forsaw the necessity Tor pre-
cision equipment replacing the for
mer hand and guess" method Of
repair work and has attempted to
give "city" service, frequently quite
impossible to obtain In the smaller
centers.
AS an instanct Of this, he has in
his shop three re-boring machines,
the first two being replaced BY lat-
er, better perfected modelA He had
the first power service car, the first
brake testing equipment and 'front.'
end testing devices etc. His me-
chanical diagnosis machine, for
testing the various functions Of q
motor was the first one in this Sec
ton. It, too, has been replaced
with a later model.
Along with Mr.. Smiths policy Of
late equipment, he has carried the
plan Of keeping his workmen In
formed of the latest wrinkles In
methods. Each season his shop men
attend special schools Of instruc-
ton. In all, there are seven on the
Smith payroll, one Ralph Mat
thews, shop foreman, having been
with the firm since the second week
Mr.. Smith took charge. At the peak
Of his business twelve people were
drawing weekly pay checks from the
Smith Motor Co.
Along with his leadership in the
business world. Mr.. Smith has par
ticipated in many civic develop
ments. He was president Of the
chamber Of commerce at the time
the concrete highway was put in, he
has been president Of the local SER
vice club, was active in the park
and school development and had
charge Of the Kiwanis-backed
childrens' playfield during its term
Of activity.
His participation and cooperation
on movements for the general good
of the community give him a posi-
ton in the top rank among the
leaders in the community
