The idea being to have a few newspaper and advertising men work on the reports sent to the nation's hard-pressed tax pay ers. Adding accountants and sta tisticians to the legal minds that have already ‘fixed’ the reports. isn’t apt to be much of a solution. only probably getting us more in volved. To make reading matter understandable for the general _public is the job of the advertiser and newspaper man. It might be a pretty good idea, at least the taxpayer couldn’t have it much worse than it is now.

PHONE 821 been demonstrated through these war years. We should have listened to history in the past, heeded our fathers who knew no such abun dance or luxury as have we. Mil lions of American housewives have found difficultyin purchas ing food although as a nation we are far from starving. Yet, over 18 percent of all the food bought lfor home consumption is wasted ‘and this amount alone would feed Ithe greater part of our armed ‘forces here and abroad! There is waste along the line that the house-wife can’t help; from farm through distributor to consumer. An expenditure of lost time, and manpower adds to the waste. But this is no excuse for Kennewick women to fail in the kitchen. The lesson of waste in food is of paramount importance. The one of waste is effective in a bill of fered in the New Jersey legis lature that woud consider the burning or destroying of waste paper a crime punishable by a 3- year prison term or SIOOO fine. This is going some to punish for wasting, a thing that should be curbed without need of law and fine behind it. So essential have things become to us that we have taken them as necessities that will always be forthcoming. We waste, toss aside, disregard, overlook, de stroy, ustil we lose them, and only then do we realize our abundance, might end. FARMER WOES The grumbling of the farmer persists in spite of the fact that farmers received from crops and livestock, double the income of 1941 and a third more than in 1942. The farmer has provided for this nation’s food needs boun tifully and he has worked under very trying conditions as we have felt the hand of war in all lines. Yet the farmer has achieved the greatest income last year of any year. The average income was SB3OO a farm. But, the farmers zaround Kennewick win tell you immediately that much of this‘ goes to buy aspirin tablets for the agricultural headaches! He! will try to explain to you gov lernment regulations and restric tions that he isn’t too sure about himself. Ceilings and subsidies are his problems. To keep his son as a hand on the farm he la ’bors with thé draft board. To get help to harvest he tries for ‘miles around and generally goes to ithe government employment .agency where he hopes to find wworkers. Then comes the mat ter of priorities that he can re ,place some needed machinery. For his price on milk he has to ‘see an official for the subsidy. There are more that the farmer might tell you of his headache, in spite of his increased income. This business of farming is an uncertain affair, with the weath er of the seasons not to be guar anteed or to find certain market prices when he is ready to sell. But 'the.farmer still produces and will continue to do so. He feels he is big business today, as he is indeed, and that he has reason to grumble if outside interference hinders his production. ‘ , > ‘ NOTICE TO CREDITORS TO FILE.CLAIMS In the Superior Court of the State of Washington in and for - Benton County In the Matter of the Estate of Robert 1..
