her name and others were to show
her as a much-loved character in
stories and plays.
All through her sons boyhood and
youth, Mrs. Barrie (whose maiden
name was Margaret Ogilvie) gave
him her time and love, and he richly
gave back her love. There was a
rich store of playfulness in the
mother, and James entered into the
spirit of her play. Neither of them
spent too much time worrying about
the hard facts of life.
AS member of such a family, 1t
may seem strange that James was
able to obtain a very good education.
but he did. He went up through
college, and graduated with a degree
of master of arts.
1t might seem that a good fairy
must have waved her magic wand
to allow him to have all that, but
let us take a glimpse of him at the
University of Edinburg. There he
was one of the many poor stu
dents" not poor in his studies but
poor in the worlds goods. A few
years later he wrote about such
students saying that three of them
lodged together in a dreary house
at the top of a dreary street." He
added that the three students had
only one bed, and had to take turns
sleeping in 1t. While one student
was asleep, the other two could
study.
The much loved mother had
wanted her son to become a minis
ter Of the gospel, but. to this plan
James would not agree. It was one
of the few things in his life when
he was unwilling to follow his
mothers wishes. IT want to be-
come an author" he declared.

Need Much Help
To Harvest Local
Tomato Crop
Ask citizens to volun-
teer for even part
time work

The war department has declared
tomatoes one Of the prime food re-
quirementS. 1t has taken an option
on all the canned tomatoes proceSSed
in the United States.
In this locality the largest and
best tomato crop in history may not
be harvested because Of lack Of help
in picking, according 10 a statement
made this noon at the chamber OF
commerce luncheon by Bill Miller,
manager Of the Walla Walla can
merry.
Mr.. Miller asked the coopera-
ton Of the chamber in securing ad-
ditional help for the growers, stat
ing that at the moment there was
sufficient help but In week or ten
days when the peak of the season
was on, that many more picl1erS
would be required If the crop was
to he gathered in time for canning.
He suggested that the chamber
solicit help from those who ordinar-
lily would not be interested in work
ing in the fields, but who might be
pSAouduCO do u lhldODtT VI VJhbTlOblC
duty. He said that even half a days
work would help to that extent and
dt was suggested that q house-to-
house canvass he made to enlist part
time workers when the need was the
greatest
In the meantime IL was suggested
that any who would be interested in
helping get the crop harvested, no
tify either Of the canneries. Trans
portation TO the fields will be furn-
ished, the pay Is about twice that
offered last year and even part time
work would be appreciated
Such an enlistment would accom-
plish four things 1.-The pay is good,
it will help the farmer harvest his
crop, it win supply labor at the
canheTieS and at The same time sup
ply a necessity for the armed forces.
If you can pick tomatoes, notify
either annery-NOW.

Wheat AnOtments
In Mail for Growers

Wheat acreage allotmentS for 1913
average yields and crop insurance
premium rates are being mailed this
week TO Benton county wheat farm
ers, according to Fred Wilson, the
chairman of the agricultural con-
servation committee.
These allotment figures are based
ON $500 of a producers usual
wheat acreage for the last six years
and represent the maximum acreage
of wheat he can seed and he in COM
pliance with the AAA program. Az
erage yield figures are used as a
basis for computing payments and
"hot wheat" and are not intended
as a. maximum of production per
acre.
EVERY effort has been made, %
says Mr.. Wilson, ITO determine each
individual allotment fairly ON the
basis of past history, but if any
grower feels his case should be re-
considered, he is granted a 15-day
period in which to file his appeal
with the county committee" Any
one not receiving an allotment, but
who will he raising wheat in 1913 and
wished an allotment, should also
submit his request during this APP
peal period.
More compliance with acreage al
lotmer1ts is expected in 1913 in view
of the Increasingly large surplus of
wheat in the United States and the
protected price the AAA Program
offers. Details of the 1913 Program
have rot yet been released to the
county Committee, burt are Expected
in the near future and will be i'm
mediately relayed to the farmers.

Speaker Says
Bone Power Bill
Start of Socialism
Provides unlimited,
unchecked exendi-
lures, no interference

The so-called Bone Power bill now
before congress, creating the Column
ibia Valley Authority, is vicious, un-
fair, undemocratic and is the first
acknowledged step toward state So
cialism, A. A. Smith told members
of the Kennewick chamber of COM
merce this noon.
The bill is aimed at complete con-
troll of all power projects in the
Northwest by development, purchase
or condemnation of all units de-
veloping electricity, Smith said. The
bill as now, drawn puts complete
control, without limit, in the hands
of an administrator under the sec
rotary, of the interior. 1T contains
now every provision which Senator
Bone unqualifiedly condemned pub
hcly six months ago, he said.
Provisions in the bill specifically
exempt the operation, finances and
any other arrahgements from any
interference from congress or any
other agency, Smith said.

PascO Man Tells of
Washington Experiences

o. II. Olson of Pasco, who spent
several months in Washington, D. G.
serving on an OPA committee, was
guest speaker at the Kiwanis lunch
con Tuesday. He said that there
were two Numerically opposite
schools of thought in the nations
capital, which was now also capital
of the world. On the one hand the
powerful monopolistic, capitalistic
groups were trying to preserve the
old economic system, while the New
Dealers were, trying TO create a
Utopia all in one jump As result,
official rulings are a set of compro-
misses, most of which should be re-
vamped to he of use TO the citizens
of the nation.

New Ruling on
Classification
AbOlishes l-B
all but totally unfit
to become available
for army service

The selective service system yes
terday abolished its limited service
class, lib, the group with minor
| physical defects and ordered all
but the totally unfit reclassified as
available for military service, ac-
cording to a release by the war de-
partment. 4.
Nearing exhaustion of the pool
of Al registrants, those free OF
any known physical tandicaps and
not deferred from active duty for
any other reason, the army re-
Gently called for induction of men
from the LIB class.
Order Effective at Once
This decision, resulting in filling
local draft quotas with la and
1-B registral1ts, has made the lat
ter classification meaningless for
all practical purposes of the selec-
tive service system, and its MEM
hers will either be placed in AZ,
if totally unfit for service, or shift
ed to IA.
The order is effective today,
said an announcement by selective
service headquarters, but the re-
classifying of men in this group
will begin September 1, to be COM
pleted by New Years day. Not
more than one-fourth of the LIB
registra1ts in any local board area
are to be shifted to class la in
any single month.
Army to Decide
When members of tl1is group
are reclassified, they will be sent
to induction centers as local
boards fill their quotas, and the
army will decide after their in
duction whether to assign them
TO full or limited duties.
In the reclassification process,
the men. will be re-exanined by
the local draft board physicians
to determine whether there are
any physical DEFICIENCIES which
would prevent them from pier
forming any military service. If
such defects are discovered, the
registrants will be placed in class
4-F.
Boards Warned
while physical DEFICIENCIES were
the only basis for assigning men
to class 1-B in the original CLASH
fication, the local boards were
warned that their status may have
changed since that time, and pos
sible dhfernent for dependency,
family relationship or occupation,
should he considered in each case.
The change also will have a limit
ed effect on some conscientious OBJ
jectors. Those previously classified
fit for limited service in non
connbatant units, or 4-E-IiS, fit for
linndted service in civilian work
camps, now will he classified lap
if fit for nom comIbatant service, or
az if fit for induction into work
camps. If physically disqualified
for either type of service they will
be classified AZ.

Near First of Line
For Public Service Plaque

When the local committee Of
awards dor civic service gets around
its time of presenting, one Of the
first ones will go TO e. e. Nicoson,
long time Horse Heaven resident.
'fCharlie" has been beating the devil
around the stump, by buying up rum
down residences, fixing 'em up into
liveable places and providing homes
for service men and workers on the
defense projects. While he can't
get priorities to build new places, he
can get enough stuff legally to fix
up the rundown houses and has al
ready rehabilitated half a dozen or
more. Its quite surprising what q
new roof, a fixed-up porch and a few
daubs Of paint can do 10 a rundown
place. Such activity is highly COM
mendable.

Air Port Sailors
Take 13-Inning
From Seattle Pros
Now claim west coast
championship on
outstanding record

John Bittner, ace Naval Reserve
Flyer pitcher, bested three Seattle
Rainier pitchers last night, August
IL, as the Flyers won a l3-inning
duel, 4-3. Though the Rainiers COL
lected 10 hits, they were well scat
tered, and none of the Seattle runs
were earned. In the meanwhile the
Sailors got to Garrett, johnson and
Budnick for runs and IL hits.
The Flyers started things off in
the second inning, getting 1 run.
as Amarel and Mccormack doubled.
They were never behind after that,
although the score was tied on num-
erous occasions. The Rainiers came
right back in their half Of the sec
ond, as Matheson, singled and Tor
geson doubled for one run. In the
4th Mccormack doubled and Mar
tinez singled, for ! more Flyer run.
That is the way the score stood until
the 9Th, when Harris singled. Sickle
walked, White, who was now running
for Harris, took third on an infield
out, and scored ON an error by White.
Bittner and johnson then buckled
down until the 18th, allowing no one
to cross the plate, although the Fly
ers left men stranded on the bases
in that time. In the l1th, Martinez
singled, and was brought around to
third on a walk and a sacrifice,
which set the stage for an error by
Krebchmar, for a Sailor run. But
the Rainiers were not to be headed
as yet as Sickle bingled, was sac
rificed to second, and came home ON
a hit to center by Gysleman.
The 18th proved to be the big in
ming for the victors, as white singled
and hustled around to third when
Budnick threw the ball away, try
ing to pick him off first. Sickle bob
hled an infield hit by Cole to bring
Vanni over with the winning run. In
the Rainier half of the inning, Esco-
bar saved the day by a beautiful one
cabch off first base.
This game put the Flyers IN po-
sition TO claim the state champion
ship after such a climax TO a bril-
liant season. Their record has al
ways seemed little bit far fetched,
but with wins over clubs as Spo-
kane, Tacoma, Fort Lewis and then
a win over the all powerful Rainiers,
the record seems well in line.
The Flyers next game is Thursday
in Walla Walla, against the Army
Air Corps. Paul Irwin, who has won
IL games in as many starts, will
probably take care of the pitching,
while Manager Vanni hasn't an
nounced his starting lineup as yet.
This game will be played at the
Whitman College field.

Ask Library Be
Opened Each Day
From Now On
Increasing circulation
requires longer hours,
committee reports

Month by month and year by
year the activities of the local ID
brary are expanding, according to a
report made Tuesday night to the
city council by committee from
the library association.
The committee, composed of Mrs
Huntington, Mrs. Payne and DR.;
p. o. Stone, who acted as spokes-
man, asked the council to make
provision in next years budget for
a bigger allowance fer the opera
tion of the library.
The city is now providing $35 per
month toward the librarians sal
airy, with the association adding
five dollars per month. The library
is now open three afternoons and
evening week. With an increase
to SIS for librarians salary, it is
proposed to keep the library open
five hours each day-three in the
afternoon and two in the evening
six days a week.
This extra time is becoming ne
cessary, DR.. Stone said, because of
the steadily increasing patronage,
with its attendant work. The Ken
newick library has greater circula-
tion than the Carnegie library at
Pasco, more than two Thousand
books being circulated during July,
one of the smallest of the year,
ordinarily.
Mayor Anon promised the COM
mittee that his budget committee
would give serious consideration to
increasing the funds for the library
next year. ..-~~Z 90
