From the Correspondents
Items of Interest Concerning Our Neighbors Hereabouts
fl LIVE WIRE SPARKS g
I wonder if we could revive the
Sparks for one issue? The follow
ing will explain my reason.
The poor farmer is getting so much
condemnation over the high cost of
living that the editor of the Live Wire
Sparks lays off his grubbing long
enough to say a Word in behalf of the
farmers of the lower valley.
Withwwheat at five cents a pound,
and other grain almost as high, the
chicken raiser finds his grain ration
costing him over four cents per pound.
The agricultural colleges tell us it
takes 90 pounds of grain to feed a
chicken a year. At four cents per
pound, this amounts to $3.60 per year.
Of course Kennewick hens lay more
eggs than other hens, yet it is very
doubtful if they average ten dozen
eggs per year, which means that the
eggs cost the farmer in feed alone
something over 36 cents per dozen,
not to mention his labor and invest
ment, and he gets but 30 cents.
A similar condition prevails in the
dairy business. With hay and mill
feed both double the price of a year
ago, we find butter fat is bringing but
30% more.
And yet the cry goes up that the
farmer is getting wealthy and he is
unmercifully censured for selling off
his hens and cows. In most cases he
has to do it for they are losing him
money faster than he can stand.
“Then it is the wheat farmer who is
to blame,” you say. No, it is not.
With wheat at 5 cents per pound, we
find the grower got on an average of
but two cents per pound, and the spec
ulator got the balance. There is
plenty of wheat in the country to meet
jour needs, and if the government had
iadopted the National Marketing pro
gram which the grange has been urg
-ling for years past, manipulation would
‘be impossible and not only the farm
ers Would be making more money
than they are today, but also thecon
sumers’ bread, butter, eggs, and prac
tically all edibles would be reduced
nearly half price.
For years the Wall Street gamblers,
the meat barons and the Chicago
grain speculators have maintained
lobies ih Washingt'pn to fight the
Grange Farm Reform Program, until
they have brought the nation to a ser
ious situation, and today, there are
such strong influences at work in con
gress against the government’s tak
ing a hand, that 'it is doubtful if any
lasting good results can be obtained
unless the people demand reform in
unmistakeable terms.
The State Grange meets at Wenat
chee in annual session the first week
in June, and it is desired that each
pubordinate grange prepare recom
mendations at this time so that they
can all be sifted out and a definite
plan determined upon for the 15,000
grange members in this state to sup
port. It is hoped therefore, that a
full attendance is out at the next
meeting, Saturday night, May 26th.
Lecturer Ford has arranged a special
program including light refreshments.
But this is not a matter of interest
to grange members alone. Every pa
triotic citizen should endeavor to do
all he can toward relieving this sit
uation which is fast becoming unbear
able. The most practical method at
band now is for everyone to drop a
card to his representative in congress
asking him to use every efl'ort to
promote an effective and lasting Na-}
tional Marketing- Measure. Our rep-‘
resentative from this distict is W. Lu
LaFollette and our senators are Miles
Poindexter and Wesley L. anes.
Should the people all over the coun
try unite in making such a demand,
Icongress would wake up to the fact
that the people were at last aroused
and demanded relief and we would get
relief without further procrastination.
But it will require a flood of mail of
unprecedented proportions to drown
such a measure out of the committee
rooms where it is annually buried.
But especially let the grange mem
bers come out and help, for it will be
the grange that must hit the hardest
licks and every member must be alive
[to the issues and be prepared to help.

Vogel-Thomas
3 A very pretty home wedding was
'solemnized last Friday evening at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Wade Thomas
when their eldest daughter, Miss Bes—
sie, was given in marriage to Sherman
M. Vogel.
Rev. Burris, of Finley performed
the ceremony, after which a bounteous
wedding supper was served. The bride

over lace and silver and carried a
beautiful bouquet of sweet peas and
maiden hair fern. The rooms' were
decorated with bridal wreaths and
evergreen. Mr. and Mrs. Vogel left
the same evening for Seattle and other
Coast cities and then expect to spend

gel has been principal of our school
for the past two years.

them their heartiest congratulations.
Hover Has First Strawberries
J. E. Hampton picked a crate of
ripe strawberries last Monday, which
he intended to ship to the Davenport
in Spokane, but the Kennewick-Rich
land Marketing Union had a represen
sentative at the depot, who wanted
to buy the berries so the Union could
have the credit of marketing the first
crate of strawberries from the Kenne
wick valley. Mr. Hampton was ob
durate at first and would not sell, but
after much soliciting finally sold the
berries to them, and Kennewick gets
the credit and advertising, but the
berries grew in Hover just the same.

An Economy Suggestion
During some excavations in a dis
trict of historical interest some work
men came upon a stone which was
shaped very much like a coflin. They
thereupon began to discuss comns, and
an Irishman remarked:
“Whoy don’t they use stone comns
now? They’d save a lot 0' money.”
“Why? How would they? They'd
be most dificult to make," said another
workman.
“Oh, but,” said the Irishman, “you
see, a stone comn would last a dead
man all his life.”
Unpledged
“Mr. Flubdud, I am a candidate for
your daughter’s hand.”
“Well, I’m unpledged, my boy. If
a ballot is taken you can have my
vote.”—Kansas City Journal.
