Berry said that if any reporter
wanted suggestions concerning the
work he had a printed pamphlet,
which he would be glad to send. Mr.
Slavins told of the fireplace and
spoke especially of the rock from
Benton City, which National Master
Gass had given.
1t was moved and carried to dis
continue the grange and Pomona Of
ficers visitations to conserve rubber
and gas and to turn the money over
to the Red Gross.

count or $149.50 and 6Oc from the
current fund to make the required
amount.
Miss Marguerite Berry, of the ex-
tension office, talked on the need
of home gardens and the planning
for them now. It is a patriotic
duty to have garden small enough
to be taken care of properly and adj
equate for the needs of the family.
Only good seed should be planted.
She urged us to go back to our
grange and see that our members are
not those who have refused to have
gardens.
Fred Wilson urged the people to
start along lines of cooperation to
produce foods necessary in war
times. Tomatoes were $3.50 a ton
in 1910. With the contemplated in
crease of $500 they would be $17.50
in 1912. Peas were $500. The in
crease of $17.50 would make them
$3.50. Before getting this price
raised the farmer must get a con-
tract with Gamers certified by the
defense board.
Harry Fleming gave very inter-
esting and comprehensive talk on
bombs, air raids and gas attacks
with instructions on what to do in
each case. He had just returned
from a three day civilian protection
school in Spokane, put on by the
United States army. Their instruct
ors were officers from the Edgewood
Arsenal at Edgewood, Md. Part of
the school was put on by the FBI.
The resolution from Yakima
County which was tabled at the last
meeting was postponed till the Feb.

In regard to the idea of price fix
ing especially on mint, a motion was
made to introduce it as a resolution
instead Of a letter.
Twenty-one candidates were init
lated in the fifth degree and the
new officers were given a vote of APP
probation for their splendid work.

WEEK
Taxes Engross Congress
FOSTER GILRoY

Taxes Engross Congress
Washington-The startling request
last week by President Roosevelt for
/ an arms-building program that will
require So billions of dollars in the
next fiscal year, or half of the ma
TONS income, has given Congress
one of it's severest headaches in all
its history. Facing a Congressional
election year, the nations lawmakers
must find an additional $4,000, 000, 900
in taxes out of a national income of
100 billions, the highest in history.
Suggested sources include a higher
income tax, even to the lowest
brackets, a general sales tax, and a
payroll tax on every employed per-
son. It is freely predicted that all
three may be applied in varying de-
grees.
Lead Use Curbed
Washington Beginning April 1st,
civilian use of lead will be draStically
cut. Included in the ban are toys,
weights for jockey saddles, art-ob-
jectS, coffins, clocks, golf clubs and
seam weights on womens dresses.
Until that date, the use of lead in
non-essential industries will be re-
stricted to so percent of the con-
sumption during comparable periods
last year.
Hawaii Spending Blocked
Honolulu The military governor
has decreed that individuals are
forbidden to draw more than 5000 a
month from their banking accounts,
or to have more than that amount in
their possession monthly. Funds held
in safe deposit boxes are limited to
the same amount, in a movement to
prevent boarding of currency.
Opposes Lindbergh Offer
Observation-Disclosures an offer of
ex-Colonel Charles A. Iindbergh's
services to the government, Repre-
sentative Keppleman, Connecticut
Democrat, urged President Roosevelt
to refuse commission to the former
flier, on the score that "at no time
has he shown his competence to
counsel or guide us in national de-
fense." Lindbergh, an outstanding
isolationist, resigned his commission
as colonel of reserves after the
"copperheads" of the Civil War era

Official War Department photo
graphs told their own story today of
the horror and rigors of war as it
was fought in the jungles and clear
ings of Bataan.
The pictures, taken over a period
of time, were released coincidentally
with the departments sad conclu-
sion that, in the words of Secretary
of War Stimson, "a long and gallant
defense has been worn down and
overcome"
How that defense was so long
maintained is illustrated in part by
photos showing American soldiers,
dirt-streaked and strained, crouch
ing in their foxholes and baby
trenches alert to stop a japanese
tank with gun or bottle bomb.
Then, there is a picture of a slim,
young dispatch rider, mapping by his
motor cycle at the end of a run, but
still cradling an automatic gun while
he sleeps the sleep of the weary.
Especially dramatic is the view of
a stubble bearded Army captain Civ

water from his canteen. The Jap,
lying amid boulders, has been badly
shot up, his pants blown off and his
face and head bandaged like a
mummy's.

whose destruction of more than 100
