TOWARD TOMORROW

1t is believed by many that after
the war public education will be
universal through the secondary
level. According to educators, the
elementary grades were those
available to all youth, regardless
of sex or race, money, politics or
social standing. But after this war
they say we will advance to a
higher developed educational sys-
tenn that will be followed by all,
through the twelfth grade. Adj
vanced thinking points to free pub
lie education in schools of applied
arts and sciences and opportunity
schools that even extend beyond
the high school age. There is talk
of eliminating much waste matter
in education and bringing it into
more effective programs. They
predict more consolidating of
schools in districts that do not have
strong systems, to unite them to
eliminate weak schools. Whatever
the outcome, it shows that those
who care about our youth prob
lens are not asleep.

The work of the tire rationing
board could be materially aided as
well as made much more efficient
if patriotic citizens would give
more assistance to the board Mem
bers of a tire board receive no pay.
None of them has asked to be on
the board and all are serving be-
cause they feel that tire rationing
is an important part of the war eff
fort. Without exception every one
of them is doing the best he knows
how. According to members OF
the local board patriotic citizens
can help if they will report cases
where tires have been issued to
car owners who are not entitled to
them, who wrongfully use them or
abuse them. If this is done the
board can post the name of the
party and not make the same mis-
take again. The tire board cannot
know everyone and does not have
the time to investigate each case.
The board needs and will welcome
the help of every patriotic citizen
in the country. If this help is given
there will be more tires for the
people who are entitled to them
and have legitimate use for them
and less tires will be issued to the
undeserving. It is patriotic duty
to give every aid possible to the
rationing program. The program
will work if the people make it
work. In the measure that it fails
to receive the cooperation of the
people of a community will it fail
to work.

BIBLE WHEAT

Four years ago, Quaker miller
named Perry Hayden, living In
Tecumseh, Michigan, was so in
spired by bible lessons on rebirth,
tithing and returns from what we
sow, that he decided to expert
ment with these teachings in mind.
So, on plot four by eight feet, he
planted one cubic inch of wheat.
The following year he harvested
and deducted 1870 as a 1.-THE for
his church, then he planted the re-
mainder of the crop the following
year. That procedure he followed
the third year and this one he har-
vested his biblical wheat" for the
fourth time. The IA acres that
were harvested came from that
one cube of wheat! The 1870 tithe
was paid out year after year. Next
year they expect to cover more
than 200 acres and the sixth year,
which is the last of the experiment
they estimate a tract of 1900 to g.
900 acres. This means many thous-
ands of dollars for the church since
the entire crop is valued at $40, 1000.
They have used old farm equip
ment in part to thresh the wheat
besides modern steam means. Hen
ry Ford, who furnished the land,
has used his museum pieces Of ag-
ed farm tools as an interesting
note. The failing of the wheat
was done to illustrate how it was
harvested back in biblical times,
and the ancient way with the
cradle and sickle. There is some
thing deeper to the story of the
Dynamic Kernels" as Perry Hay
den's trial is called. It is the thot
concerning the lesson that comes
from this part of the bible teach
ings. And in so thinking of this
one sermon that has proven itself,
we, here in our homes in Kenne-
wick, wonder how many more of
the words from the bible we have
NOT tried to prove as workable,
possible and inspiring?

A recent poll of the country by
Fortune Magazine, shows that 69.1
per cent of the people of the Unit
ed States now favor military train
ing for the boys of the country.
The great majority believe that the
draft is fairer than volunteer
system, and that all boys should be
given at least a year of military
training. The general opinion is
that boys should be required to
take year of training for the ar
my, navy, the air force or some
other branch of the service after
they leave high school and before
they enter college. The poll shows
a change of sentiment since the last
war. 1t also shows that majority
of the people have come to believe
that the way to prevent war is to
be prepared for it. This, many
think, is the surest way to preserve
the peace.

A few years ago there wasn't
much that we didn't know prac-
tically everything about. In recent
years, however, we have run across
several things we just didn't un-
derstand. For instance, we fail to
figure out this one. With all the
racial prejudice prevalent now,
why is it that women paint them
selves dark to look like the despis-
ed races? Logic would seem to
urge them to accentuate their
whiteness. Why should women
darken her skin, deliberately?
Two or three other things we do
not understand, too.

THIRTY YEARS AGO

An item in the Courier-Reporter
for August 16, 1884 says that the
building on Cascade street between
the N. P. and the O-W. tracks,
formerly occupied by the Three
Rivers Growers was purchased by
1. S. Gleason. In his new building
Mr.. Gleason is installing a new
apple handling machine and has
plans to engage in commercial
packing. A new washer and sizer
is being installed this week and
work on apples and pears will be-
gin soon.
Thirty years ago the local paper
said that the high prevailing prices
for the green and pink tomatoes,
coupled with the slow ripening
weather has kept the cannery on
a half time schedule during the
past week.
Growers and dealers are
generally pleased with the opera
ton of the Oregon-Washington
melon aand tomato marketing
agreement. The agreement has
complete power to set and has set
the minimum prices on all melons
and tomatoes sold in Oregon and
Washington.

er for August II, 1924 tells us that
Hood & Hutchins had sold the
Home Grocery, who in turn trans
ferred his new property to Gus
Neuman.
That Hoopers Cafe was opened
last night to the public when the

That examination of the report

order was made to the Wenatchee-
Southern to start construction be-
fore Jan. 1, 1925 and to complete
the building of the line before
Dec. 31st, 1926.
That during the past few days
the Northwest Hay Association
had mailed out pool payment
checks making a total of over
$4,000. The balance of the old
hay of the 1923 crop grading out

delivery is expected within this
month. It is hoped that the final
pool payment can be made in the
month of September.

the Rev. Stanislaus Orlemanski has
retired to do penance in a monas-

Instead he directed a personal let

Most Rev. George A. Shea, chancel-
