$S1,997 DISTRIBUTED BY
BOARD IN GRANT COUNTY

Upon the security Of the people de-
Ponds the security of Grant county
and likewise, there are those in Grant
county who depend upon the county,
state and federal government for Sc
curity.
We continue to hear great deal
about what the taxpayer is entitled
to for his money, but when an analy.
sis is made, how much can the tax
payer afford to take for his money
The more that is demanded and re-
ceived, TIE more the taxes are to be
paid either directly or indirectly. :.
1t is every able-bodied American
citizen s right and privilege to be
able to earn his own livelihood. 1t is
also the right and privilege IT the
sick and the blind to have security in
measure. The less the demands of
the able bodied, the more will be
available to the group who are de-
fenseless. Hence the burden on the
taxpayer is more equalized.
Grant county has administered
during the year of 1899 total of
$S1,997.00 for the security Of its
people as follows:
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1940-02-22

lnulreCt II per CenC) l1,USS.SS
There were served in Grant county
2,439 cases or 4,549 persons. The
services involved, in addition to those
listed above, were: Certification to
WPA; certification to Gees ccrtifi-
cation to the Farm Security; certifi'
cation to National Youth Administra-
ton; advice and assistance without
monetary contributions to several
families and contacts for other agen
cies on letter cases.
Grant county's proportionate part
of this $81,997.00 was $29,4s5.76.
1t is obvious that without the aid
and support of community organiza-
tions in child welfare work and pre-
vention measures, Grant county could
not carry the burden. Child health
work done in the Grand Coulee dam
area has been done through the Grand
Coulee Dam Community council, the
Well Baby club and other similar or
ganizations. In Ephrata and the sur
rounding territory, this work has
been carried on through the Red
Cross, the American Legion and Aux
Hilary, the TB. league and church
groups. The contributions of these
outside groups make possible the com
pensation Of knowing that the chill
dren will at least have a chance at
good health by reason of their efforts.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-CP-The
cotton futures market drummed up

depressing influences. Cancelling
early losses of as much as 10
points, final prices were 2 to 6
points up.
Lower Liverpool and Alexandria

ly, put prices down at the outset.
Added to that was the bearish
view taken of continued cold
weather and snow in the southern
cotton belt, expected to benefit new
crop development.
Still another potential depressant
was talk of probable discontinue
ance of the export subsidy pro-
gram due to lack of funds.
Yet, after midday, selling was
only in dribbles. With offerings
scarce, the list easily responded to
more active support from New
Orleans and cooperative accounts.
Buyers of textiles, according to
Worth street reports, showed no
inclination to take advantage of
easy price trends.

Some buying which helped to
lift wheat about IL over previous

to southwestern mills but because
of generally slow wheat and flour

important. Railroad reports Of i'm

areas of the southwest whore snow
fall has been heavy and prospects
of slowly rising temperatures had
a bearish effect.
Uncertainty growing out of the

absence of definite indications of

come into commercial channels in
the next few months and also cor
fusion as to the actual amount I'm

els while some trade interests said
redemption had reduced the
amount of pledged wheat to about
LAT, 600, 900 bushels at mid-month.
Traders regarded this confusion as
being due at least partly to the
fact that official figures do not
show the amount withdrawn from
wheat because of a lag in reporting
such operations. Traders expressed
belief there is doubt about setting
up a 1910 loan program in view
of the level of wheat prices but
this would depend upon prices at
time of harvest.
