Winy not pave this year and have
a good atreet in front o your proper

rthoae who we aaking that macadam
atreet 'be laid in front of their prop
erties and it wee forcibly Mown at
the council meeting Monday night
that the coat of paying ia actually
leas than the cost of the macadam.
Recent construction of macadam
roads in this vicinity have proven
that the cost of macadamizing a road
ten feet wide la about 11.00 per lineal
foot and experience in maintenance
of roads haa brought out the cost at
approximately 50 cents per lineal
foot per year. As the 1.00 per foot
must be paid practically cash in ad
vance and as the paving, can be bond
ed and paid in ten annual assess
ments, the first year cost of paving
iB leiB than the first year cost of ma
adam and the total ten year cost Is
less than the first cost and mainten
ance of the macadam.
When these facts were brought to
the attention of petitioners for the
improvement of the street leading
Irom the highway past St. Cecilia's
church, members of that parish who
were instrumental in bringing the
petition before the council decided to
go back to property owners in an at
-tempt to get a petition for paving
put through.
The same argument appealed to
property ownerB south of Broadway,
who led by F. W. Cady, had asked
that the street leading south from
the highway to the school grounds be
extended to W. H. Hunter's property,
-thence east to Watson street and
connecting at the Methodist parson,
age, run south to E. D. Haines cor
ner and thence East to IWBtson
street, ,
No definite action was taken In re
gard to any street improvement oth
er than to request the ciy attorney
and city engineer to bring in esti
mates as to the cost of paving on the
various grades of improvement need
ed. The financial statement of the city,
covering the incumbency of Mayor
Erickson and Recorder Thyng, was
read and approved 'and ordered pub
lished. A complaint from P. G. Fordney
regarding the sewerage which comes
down the drainage ditch and depos
its on his property was considered
and the council as a committee of the
whole agreed to visit the site Bt the
first opportunity and determine
means of correcting the fault before
another summer.
H. A. Concannon presented a re
quest for road improvement that
would permit himself and others in
his vicinity to drive to town during
the winter months and was advised
to bring a petition signed by proper
ty owners.
Discussion of the sidewalk situa
tion brought a very positive state
ment from City Attorney A. C. Allen
that the town can do nothing toward
enforcing sidewalk repairs under the
present charter.

Since the organisation of the Farm
Bureau in Washington county many
inquiries have been sent to County
Agricultural Agent O.T. McWhorter,
asking information as to that body.
Being anxious that all should thor
oughly undei stand the matter, Mr.
MdWhorter has asked the News
Times to publish the following ex
planatory article which was written
by George A. Mansfield, president of
the Oregon State Farm Bureau Fed
eration, "In order that the reader may
know just nhat the American Farm
Bureau Federation Is, uncolored by
my own ideas, I will quote literally
from the literature issued from the
offices of the federation, of which it
contains two. General offices at 5
South Wabash avenue, Chicago; leg
islative offices, 1011 Pennsylvania
avenue, Washington D. C.
"I do this for two reasons: First,
because it is onlv bv reading; this
carefully that the reader can really
be in a position to say for himself,
'What is the American Farm Bu
reau ?'
"Second, because I am proud of the
declaration of principles and the
sane, sound, constructive platform
adopted, and invite all my readers
carefully to read and compare thia
with platforms and declarations
from any sources on the same sub
jects and see if they do not agree
with me that the men who -could
draft such a document are citisens of
trust and to be proud of:
"The objects of the American
Farm Bureau federation are to de
velop, strengthen and correlate the
work of the State Farm Bureau fed
erations of the nation; to encourage
and promote co-operation of all rep
resentative agricultural organizations
in every effort to improve facilities
and conditions for the economic and
efficient production, conservation,
marketing, thansportation and distri
bution of farm products; to further
the study and enactment of construc
tive agricultural institutions co-operating
with farm bureaus in the deter
mination of nation-wide policies, and
to inform farm bureau members re
garding all movements that effect
their interests.'
Farm Bureau Federation
'The American Farm Bureau fed
eration hi a league of the farm bu
reaus of the nation in which the
common interests of county organi
zations are united in the advance
ment of agriculture in the United
States of America, economically, ed
cationally and socially, as a construc
tive baBis.
"The American Farm Bureau fed-'
eration waB organized March 4, 1920,
at Chicago. Twenty-eight state Farm
Bureau federations were represented
at this meeting.
"The affairs of the American Harm
Bureau federation are directed and
controlled by farmers through a
board of directors, consisting of one
official and one additional represen
tative from every state lor each
20,000 members or major portion
thereof, and by an executive commit
tee consisting of three members of
the boarfd of directors from each of
the four regional districts of the
United States, all oi wmcn, directors
and officers, shall be actually en
gaged in farming.
Is Representative
"The American Farm Bureau fed
eration is ourelv representative
through the various state Farm Bu
reau federations:
"1. It represents thirty-five states.
which have been accepted into the
organization. The total membership
in the tmrty-i.ve Btates is ov
1,500,000.
"2, It represents 1500 county farm
bureaus, each of which has an offi
cial board of farmers.
"3. It represents every community.
Each county farm bureau provides
for & director from each community
or township, a co-operator from each
school district and a weu aismouieo
membership.
"4. It represents all agricultural
interests. The members, officers and
directors of the various county farm
bureaus include individuals engaged
In all of the areneral and specialized
lines of farming, and all are united
in the advancement oi agriculture,
economically, educationally and so
cially.
Organization Encouraged
"R. It reDresents the various agri
cultural organizations. The farm bu
mnus do not aim to replace any otn-
er organizations. They include among
their membership representatives of
all farmers' organizations in the
nountrv. The federation encourages

"The American Farm Bureau fed

complished in safe-guarding and pro

"The American Farm Bureau Fed

Friday night. Feb. 26, our basket
ball teams play Forest Grave on our
floor. This will be somej game as
they beat Hillsboro and t we have
cleaned up on the latter warns. Be
sure to see B. H. S. "smear'em" for
that is what we are going to do. So
far we have made a good showing as
our boys have piled up 269 points to
our opponents 129, and our girls'
team has 113 points to 54 for oppos
ing foam. That im a aaod record
considering that only eight games
have been played. i
Wednesday debate tryouts were
held before the following judges: Mr.
Nash, Mr. Cochran, Mr. Cook and
Mrs. Wilson. Those trying out were:
Alpha Williams, Edna Hocken, Elmer
Erickson. Ursel Narver and LtRoy
Craig, with the result that the first
four were the lucky ones who made
the team. Two of the above, team will
go to Tillamook and the other two
will meet Banks here. The proposi
tion fs, "Resolved, That the 6 lim
itation amendment should he re
pealed." The teams will debate the
same time which is next Friday, the
18th. Hard work is being put on the
question and some good arguments
will be heard at that time. Mr.
Cochran, as coach, is putting lots of
time and energy on the proposition
and certainly is working hard for B.

Last Saturday night -the play
Looking for Mary Jane," was given
at Kin ton to a packed house. Al
though the cast was somewhat hand
icnnped by the small stage and stage
settings they put across their parts
well. In fact some say that it was
better than was given at the High
School auditorium. Tne" audience
surely showed their appreciation and
over-looked any minor mistakes
which occurred. Special mention
should 'be given Crete Gray for tak
ing her part well, as she had only
gone through the play once in re
hearse 1. She took the place of Delia
Allen, as the latter was ill, which was
tho character of the opera singer.
You may ask any of the play cast if
the Kinton people don't know how to
put up a real feed. They sure did
stuff them. Also ask Shorty Erick
son for the new horticulture name of
peaches.
We wonder what happened to the
idea, started by some business menk
of securing a new curtain for the
High School Auditorium. We would
sure like to see this taken up soon,
as we have numerous plays scheduled
for the remainder of the year.

"The American Farm Bureau Fed
eration, the State Farm Bureau Fed
erations and the various county farm
bureaus represent only a nominal in
vestment on the part of any one indi
vidual. The entire up-keep of the
farm bureau and the state federa
tions in the American Farm Bureau
Federation uniformly apportioned,
costs the farmer less than one cent
an acre on his land, including federal
state and county appropriations and
membership fees.
Use Public Futids
"From one-half to two-thirds of
the necessary finances in support of
the county agent movement come from
public funds to maintain the agricul
tural extension educational work ear
ried on through farm bureaus, but no
public funds go to the support of the
fctate or American farm bureau fed

its support upon the funds provided
through the individual farm bureau

not to exceed 50 cents per member."

points affected by the proposed loca

tory is already served by two hiirh

transportation difficulties are not

ties but that the amplification of
these facilities is a simple and easily
accomplished matter that pales .nto
insignificance when compared with
the difficulties to be encountered in

Traffic comrestion is entirely
avoided in getting to this site. All
travel runs in parallel lines and there i
is no cross traffic from the time the i
heart of the city is left. Movement I

the knowledge that no cross roads

thoroughfares. It is a one-way traf

Much preliminary work was done
which will bear fruit in the near fu

produce tangible results before the

now giving the people of Washington
County a 24 hour service with equip

where. Both are experienced ' men,
they have careful drivers ready at a
moment's notice and a nurse is at
all times available. This is a bur
vice that is sadly needed in thin
county and as these two men have
supplied the need with the best pos
sible equipment, are ready at a min
ute's notice and the cost is no great
er and the time less than required
for any of the Portland ambulances,
it is hoped that the new firm will re
ceive a liberal amount of local busi
ness and that the venture will be
more than justified by the returns.
We are all anxious to keep away
from the ambulance as long as we
can, but when the need does arise It
will be convenient to know that a

NEXTWEEKISPRUNE
WEEK IN OREGON
Governor Okott Issue Proclamation.
Approved by State Leaders In all
Activities of Life.
The Idea of setting aside a week to
i known as Oregon Prune 'Week,
during which time efforts will be
made to induce evury resident of the
State to consume a quantity of Ore
gon grown prunes, or to send to
Eastern friends a quantity of the
fruit, is credited to Fred A. Kurts,
son of G. Frederick Kurts, the pio
neer of the prune industry in Oregon.
Plans for the campaign include a
proclamation by the Governor, In
which he will ask the co-operation of
the people of the State to get behind
the movement to boost one of Ore
gon's leading products; the active
support of the leading clubs and
commercial organizations; publicity
through the press of the fitato, an-1
nouncing the address of the grower's
agents where orders may be sent for
quantities of the fruit which will be
laid down at any railroad station or
postoffice at a price within the reach
of all; special prominence given by
the hotels and restaurants in serving
the fruit during the campaign, anil
many other forceful ways of bring
ing the prune prominently beforo the
people.
1 his year s prune crop is given as
110,000,000 pounds. Of this amount
there remains approximately Hz.UUO,-
000 pounds, unsold and In the hands
of the growers and packers. 1 he
growers have decided to sell their
product at a reduced figure In order
to close out their holdings and to
leave a clean slate for next i ear's
crop. By this method, it Is claimed.
Doth tne grower and consumer will,
be benefited. (
Leading men of the State, In all i
lines of activity, have given their i
hearty approval to the plan and are
unanimous in their prediction that
when launched the campaign will be
a great success, rusulLing in unending
good to the prune industry.
Prune Week is February 14th to
10th, and if successful will be made
an annual event.
February 5, 1121.
To the People of the State of Oregon:
The prune industry is one of the
greatest horticultural industries with
in the state of Oregon. Nearly forty
thousand acres of our finest agricul
tural lands are planted with prune
trees. Last year, despite adverse
weather conditions, thirty million
pounds of prunes were harvested in
the state. Of this number but eight
million have been sold. The twenty
two million pounds unsold represent
an enormous asset to the State of
Oregon if they can be moved and
placed In the hands of consumers.
The fact that they are lying idle
jeopardizes this enormous Industry.
The peoplo of the Stat of Oregon
should give widest co-operation to
the prune growers to meet the grave
situation.
I hereby desismate the week from
February 14th to February ltth, in
clusive, as Prune Week within this
state. I call upon the good spirit of
our people to join in a movement to
assist this great industry, not only
for the good of the industry itself,
but for the good of the people of the
state as a whole. I urge that every
home in Oregon take advantage of
the opportunity which is presented
by the prune growers to become well
stocked with this nourishing and
healthy fruit. I ask co-operation from
hotels, grocers, restaurants, or from
any other source which may give as
aitance, and I also beBpeak the hearty
co-operation of the press, which Is
always freely given in the furtherance
of every proper and beneficial move
ment. This is a serious situation, in
volving the welfare of thousands of
our best citizens. Prompt and hearty
response from the people of Oregon
in the purchase of one of our great
est home products will relieve the
situation and bring about a quick bet
terment of conditions, I am certain
the appeal of the prune growers will
not be in vain.
Very sincerely yours,
BEN W. OLCOTT,
Governor.

PREPARED FOR DEATH
Note; A Topeka man, be fort
death, paid 20 years' subscription for
a newspaper to be delivered, dally
at his vault Which was erected 10
years previous, equipped with an
electric light to burn forever. '
For the future we are planning
And to some prospects look bright
As for death they seem to show no
sign of fear
Though Its chasms they are scanning
In their walks both day and night
As the marks of age encroachment
show each year.
Long In Kansas there was living
And Topeka was the place
A publisher of directories all around
Borne thoughts he had been giving
As death sometlmea he must face
So In the cemetery he bought some
ground.
Death has come as was expected
To this man who planned ahead
A place for his body when ho passed
away
A vault there he had erected
Ten years previous it 1b said
So he knew just exactly where h
would lay.
Inside the vault we are learning
That arrangements had been made
With the electric company selling
heat and light
For to keep one globe aburning,
And for such all bills were paid
To keep It lit forever day and night.
Twenty years up he was paying
For a paper he liked most
There by fulfilling all of his fancy
dreams
Daily at his vault a-laying
For perhaps In form of ghost
Sometimes he might come and read
it, so it seems.
