The farmers of Alder, it is said, started to the meeting from Alder, but their conveyance incurred an accident preventing their attendance. This was regrettable as the Alder ranchers were the starters of the movement on the T. & E. for the forming of the association. Prof. Cole, Pierce county agriculturist presided at the meeting and told the farmers how to form an association. A temporary organization was formed and officers elected. These were William Nicolle, president; William Osborn, vice-president; N. J. Bruen, secretary. Mr. Bruen is cashier of the Eatonville State Bank.

It is required that ten farmers get together to form an association. The necessary number joined Wednesday night and there are a number from Alder who will join. The organization so far, is only temporary and those who desire to join should attend the next meeting as permanent officers and organization will be effected at that time. A board of directors will be elected. It is the sense of most of the farmers that the board be made up so far as possible of a representative from each community on the Tacoma Eastern. Mrs. R.

Good results were had from the Clean-up day, last year. It improves the appearance of a town and tends to promote health by removing filth that harbors disease breeding germs and also provides insurance against danger of fire by removing trash which is inflammable. ENUMCLAW IN ON THE MAP Enumclaw is the name of one of the new dahlias now on the market and is listed in a Seattle Seed Catalogue. It is a handsome shade of pink. Our florist, Jack Cleaver says "it's a boost for Enumclaw and everybody should have the town's namesake blooming in their yard." -- Enumclaw Courier. NEW FIRST AID BILL The Reed-McCoy first aid bill will undoubtedly become a law in the near future. It is said that the bill will lift a burden of more than $1,000,000 a year from the laboring men in the shape of hospital and doctor bills, permits the men to select their physicians and retain the right to make arrangements for the medical treatment of themselves and families, and while there is a waiting period of seven days for compensation, surgical and medical attendance dates from the moment of injury. The employer bears the cost of transporting the injured workman from the place of injury to a hospital or place of treatment. The employee makes joint contribution with the employer to the fund. The employee has a voice along with the employer in the management and carrying out of the provisions of the law. One feature of the new law is that it penalizes the careless mill owner and assists the careful mill owner. This is expected to cut the percentage of accidents below the present percentage. The old law is amended so that awards for permanent partial disability, which means the loss of an arm, a leg, and eye or some similar injury have been increased one third or 33 1/3 per cent. The cost of industrial insurance is borne entirely by the employer. The bill was a compromise measure between labor leaders and the employers of the state and is said to be the fairest measure ever proposed in the state of Washington.

Pg. 3, col. 2 & 3 VAUGHN IS BUYING SOME SPACE IN THE EATONVILLE DISPATCH We advocate the use of advertising, so will do some of it. We will charge this space to our expense account. The newspaper business is probably less understood by the general public than any other business. For this reason; in order to promote a better understanding between the Public and the Dispatch, space will be used to explain some phases of our work and also for general announcements of a business character related to the paper and the public. ALL whose subscriptions have expired are being notified of such expired subscriptions. All subscriptions are payable in advance. After a subscriber has received notice of expiration of his or her subscription and we do not receive a prompt reply to a request for a renewal of the subscription, we will discontinue the paper to that reader. Don't think we do this because we are afraid of your credit. When receiving notice of the expiration of your subscription, bear in mind that you are not being singled out from a favored few. The rule applies to all. Our subscription list has been constantly increasing without a corresponding increase in advertising revenue. The price on every material that goes into the manufacture of the paper has increased. For instance, newsprint paper costs nearly 8 cents per pound where it was 4 cents one year ago. This is only one item. It is a problem to meet constantly increasing cost of manufacture without increasing the price of subscription. The price of the subscription remains the same. If you cannot send $1.50 for a year's subscription, why not take the paper for 6 months for 75 cents? E. R. Vaughn, Editor, The Eatonville Dispatch, Eatonville, Washington. "A Weekly paper For Tacoma Eastern People". ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS P. T. A. Meeting The Eatonville parent-teachers will meet at the high school, Tuesday, March 6 at 2:30. Mrs. B. W.
