POULTRY ASSOCIATION
GRANTED COUNTY MONEY

That the annual exhibition of the
Benton County Poultry Association,
which will be held at Kennewick
next January, will be a bigger and
better show than ever, was assured
when the county commissioners
granted the association an appro-
priation of $3.50 last week.
The association has already held
two successful shows with the as
sistance only of the Kennewick bust
ness men. This appropriation from
the county funds, made possible
since the poultrymen have incor-
porated, will be a big aid and en-
enlargement to the poultry fanciers
of the county.

Parallel Stories.

When Napoleon was student at Bri-
enne he happened to be asked by one
of the examiners the following ques-
ton: ''SuppOsing you were in an invest
ed town. threatened with starvation.
how would you supply yourself with
provisions:" From the enemy" re-
piled the sublieutenant of artillery
And this answer so pleased the exam
iners that they passed him without fur
ther questioning. Now, NapOleon's an
swer was by no means original, for
one of Suvaroff's sergeants obtained
promotion from the ranks by giving
the very same answer when asked the
very same question. Whether it was
that Napoleon had read bis story some
where and luckily remembered the ser
geant's answer at the right moment or
whether. as one writer says anent the
speech of the beef eater. "All that can
be said is that two people happened to
hit upon the same thought" We are
unable to say, but the similarity of the
anecdote is. to say the least of 1t, a

The Star Of Brazil.

The most important cut stone of
Brazil is that called the Star of the
South" which was found by negro
woman in 1913. 1t was appropriated
by the mine owner who gave her in
return a pension for life. The stone
was sold for $4,000. the new owner
depOsiting 1t in the Bank of Rio ia
metro and receiving on this security a
loan many times greater than the
value paid for the gem. The diamond
was at length sold for ten times the
amount paid. 1t was finally acquired
by a syndicate and cut in oval form
at a cost of $4,000 by q firm in Am
sterdam. An Indian rajah offered more
than $4,000 for 1t. but was refused.
A little later it was bought for the
gaekWar of BarOda.

SPARKS

The only regrettable feature OF
the day was the inability of the
committee to provide boat accom-
modations for the up-river people.
Hanford and White Bluffs would
have been here 500 strong if there
had been any way possible to bring
them. The Hanford Flyer was
chartered for a special run and
brought the Hanford ball team and
a few others from there.
The Baptist, Catholic and Pres
byterian church societies served
dinner and all report a good pat
ronage. The Congregational ladies
threw open their church as a rest
room and served coffee.
All the stands and concessions re-
port a good business.
There is some talk Of sending the
weather man a leather medal in ap-
probation of the brand of goods he
dished up. While the ice cream
and lemonade men would have
liked the day to have been a few
degrees hotter, they are the only
ones who complained.
Pasco was almost depopulated of
young people who took advantage
of the special trains which were run
at $50 a. m. and 7 p. m.
There was lots of band music all
day long and the crowds enjoyed it.
Both the Richland and the Prosser
bands fulfilled their contract to the
letter and it was money well spent
to bring them here.
The committee has not vet
checked up their expenditures in
full, but there is almost certain to
be a balance left on the right side
of the book. 1t is planned to divide
what money may be left, among
several of the local organizations.
The Commercial Club rest room
for ladies, in charge of Mrs. John
Hayden, and the team hitching
ground, looked after by H. E. Page,
were accommodations which were
appreciated by the visitors.
And it was a really truly safe and
sane celebration. None of the doc

be secured and distributed over the
epauletful scene just to vary the mo-
notony.
Many old-time officers of the navy are
already here. They are distinguishable
from the army officers because they are
partial to the deep sea-going hacks which
still cruise along the Philadelphia curbs,
while the army representatives prefer
riding on the caissons of the more mod
ern taNicabs with the self-cocking meters.
Every train brings in its commodores,
captains, major generals, brigadier gen.
erals, colonies, lieutenants, along with
their superior officers, who are elaborate
ly gowned and be-furred. for no football
game would be complete without the
gracious touch Of femininity.
Heroes on Hand.
Among the generals, captains, and the
like, are heroes Of many interesting
events. Survivors of the test rides and
the food at the St Anthony and Menger
Hotels at San Antonio rub elbows with
men who fought in the battle OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt. and through a lot of
hard political campaigns.
There is not much betting between the
soldiers and sailors on account of the
strict enforcement of an edict against
that sort of thing. and also on account
against any army and navy salaries
that would justify riotous speculation.
Some bets were made at to (, with
the Army the favorite. The cadets seem
to be in fine trim, and when they came
marching down Broad Street to-day they
were heavily cheered by the martial
souls OF Philadelphia. Both cheerers
were Immediately arrested for disturbing
the peace.
1t will be a great game. 1t is always
a great game, and nothing has trans
pired that would make a departure from
custom advisable. There will be an
enormous crowd, and both sides will
have a big following. All the color and
glamour of the Army and Navy meeting
will be splashed literally over the scene,
and there is no other pigment quite so
cOlOrful as that. BY tomorrow night
there should be quite a few things stir
ring around Philadelphia.
