SCHOOL NOTES

The enrolment in High school
was increased by a number of new
names at the beginning of this
semester. Among the new pupils
are several who have been out of
school for some time OH account of
illness and also few who have not
attended here before. New addi-
tons are Nina Ely, Sadie Armstrong
Beulah Webb, Rodney Soth and
Lloyd, Curtis and Won Whealey.
The last three named are brothe rs
and all are members of the Sophie
more class. They attended the
Davenport High School before COM
ing to kennewick.
As variation in the regular
routine of text book work in the
Vocal Expression classes, Mr. Lewis
announced last week that each
member of the class should find a
short selection for recitation and
prepare it for this week. An ex-
ibition of variety in tastes and in
teresting programs are promised as
result. Both the first and second
year classes have made noticeable
improvement in the art of vocal
expression since the beginning of
the year, but altho Supt Lewis's
cheerful disposition allows him to
be very hopeful, each member feels
that there is still Il wide margin for
Improvement.
The arrival of large amount of
new material has doubled the strength

PLAN BIGGER POULTRY
SHOW FOR NEXT YEAR
Four States to Participate-Rivai the
Apple Show i'm Number oil
Entries-Much Publicity

To make the poultry show for the
coming year, one that will embrace
Washington State, Idaho, Oregan
and California, is the ambition OF
the promoters of the show that was
held last week. The show was such
a success from every standpoint
that the promoters believe that a
larger show would be of immense
value in an advertising and educa-
tional way that the plans for the
bigger show next year are already
under way
Under the name of the North
western Poultrymen's Congress, the
heads of the poultry raisers over the
states will be asked to lend their as
sistance, by their attendance and
the entry of birds. Lectures on in
cuhation, the raising and shipping
of chickens, and in fact every phase
of poultry raising for profit will be
given during the entire week. The
object, primarily, is to attempt to
keep at home a large portion of the
money now being shipped out by the
state for poultry products.
To make Kennewick the home Of
a congress that would rival the ma
tional apple show, and be of great
value in a publicity way, besides
stimulating the already large inter
est being taken in fancy poultry
raising in the valley would be the
results, when the plans are matured.

WIN FROM HIGHLAND

The basket ball game played by
the Richland and kennewick teams
last Friday evening at the Pavilion
is considered by Supt. Lewis, the
coach, and Captain Larkin, the
fastest ever played in the city. The
teams played even in the first half,
Shireman being Richards star per-
former and CARRIER, Larkin, and
Johnson carrying off the bouquets
for kennewick. A score of 36 to 10
inI Kennewick' favor resulting from
the forty-fve minutes lively play.
Whether the local team essayed
to keep the up river boys in
hot water during the first half,
tantalizing them with the idea
that they might be able to win, after
the manner of pussy when she has
mouse in her claws, or whether
Richland was unable to bear up ur-
der the suspense. is a mystery which
will not be solved, but at any rate,
the glory achieved by the visiting
team in the first part of the game
was fleeting and not single field
throw was made by them in the
second half. The score stood l3 to
A in favor of RichIand at the close
OF the first half. The intermission
was filled with enthusiastic roofing
by a lively aggregation Of representa-
tives from both towns. One of the
instruments from the Richland band
was used by the visitors but even
with this, the yells and songs of
Kennewick High were easily distin-
guished in the uproar.
Barquist led out with a rather

difficult basket at the first of the
second half and followed these up
with two more latter in the game.
Larkin contributed five baskets and
two free throws to the good OF the
cause and the good work of CARRIER
raised the score several points.
The team work gave evidence OF
some improvement over that of the
last game. Judging from the number
of fowls called on the local team,
more attention might we'll be given
to dispensing with rough play.
At the request of the Richland
team, Supt. Dickson of the Prosser
school was brought down to referee
the game. His services in this capa-
city were entirely satisfactory to
both sides. This will probably be
the last game of the season with
Richland as no others have been
scheduled up to this date and the
local boys have cleaned up two sea-
sons play with them with Il series
of victories.

The election of Miles Poindexter
as United States senator from Wash
ington was the feature of this week S
session of the legislature. In the
house the insurgents arranged to have
a member of the delegation from each
county in the state second the nomin-
alton of Harve H. Phipps, thus Civ
ing a good Endorsement to the man
who is now recognized as the natural
leader of the republican party in the
state.
The democrats gave George Cot
teril complimentary vote but later
moved to make the election of Poin-
dexter unanimous. In the house
Garrecht, the democratic representa-
tive from Walla Walla, went so far as
to second the nomination of Poindex-
ter and to vote for him.

The apportionment fight has mar
rowed down to contest between Sc
attic and Tacoma on one side and all
the rest of the state on the other. As
the last mentioned group has two
thirds of the votes in both house and
senate it is safe to say that its plan will
carry.
The plan, in brief, is to increase
the senate from 43 to 50 members
and the house from IS to SO, in both
cases the constitutional limit. Seattle
is to have four of the additional SEN
atorS and two representatives and Spo-
kane two more senators and one more
representative. The representation
of the rest of the state will remain as
at present. The plan further provides
for FIVE congressional districts, two
east OF the Cascades and three on the
Coast. The city of Seattle is to be
one congressional district by itself
while the rest of King county will 90
with Pierce county and Tacoma.
The Tacoma-Seattle plan, which
is now quite sure to be defeated, would
have deprived three small counties,
Asotin, San Juan and Wahkiakum, of
their representation and would have
split up the three men between Seattle
Tacoma and Spokane.

NARROWING CROPS IN
.DRY AREAS

In all areas where the rainfall Is
light the narrowing OF the grain afte-
It has begun to grow should be givel
that attention which it's importance
demands. 1t is not easy to give in
structions that will apply in every il.
stance, as the conditions of sell and
weather are so various. Much de-
ponds on the judgment Of the farmer
The instances are few, however, in
viii h the crop will not receive benefit
from being narrowed once or oftener,
during the period of growth.
The objects sought in narrowing the
crop are two-fold. First, to conserve
moisture; and second to destroy
weeds. For both purposes, the earl,
ier borrowings given will prove the
most effective. surface soil mulch
is most easily made while the soil has
not become much impacted on the sur
face. 1t is less needed after the grain
has begun to shade the soil, when
weeds have just begun to grow, they
have 4 less firm hold on the soil than
at later stage Of growth.
1t would seem safe to say that the
best time to harrow grain for the first
time is when the blades begin to show
above the surface Of the ground. The
farmer should not wait until the field
has green tint as seen in the dis
lance. When the blades begin to
push through the soil as apparent to
the eye when walking over 1t, then it
rs that the first narrowing should be
given. The harrow used should be
light and the teeth should be adjust
able, 20 that the backward slant CIV
en- to them will stir the whole surface
OF the ground without tearing out the
plants. The plants win thus escape
injury. A soil mulch will be formed
and myriads Of weeds Just starting to
grew will be destroyed.
