CHRISTMAS SEALS FOR Fedora
TON WORK

The federation has again provided
Christmas seals for sale by the clubs.
Complaint had been received that the
federation seals have not been pretty
enough. They have changed the pat
tern this year, and feel that that OBJ
lection cannot now hold.
The seals sell at 20 cents a book,
or at one cent each. They do not
take the place of postage on your let
tiers and packages, but dress them up
gaily. The oranges on them make
them souvenirs of Florida, the fedora
ton name shows what stands sponsor
for them and the emblem in the CEN
ter of the seal, the health work for
which their sale provides.
The Christmas seals will be sold
in this city by Mrs. Walter Hood of
the health committee, and her assist.
ants, so let everyone be prepared to
purchase them. The money is to be
devoted entirely to health purposes.

BRITAIN AGAIN CONFIRMED
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 29.-The officials
here are manifestly encouraged by
the action of Rear Admiral Craddock,
commanding the British warships in
Mexican waters, who notified Rear
Admiral Fletcher, the American COM
mander. that he wished to subordinate
himself in cooperating with the Unit
ed States in the Mexican situation.
This is considered here as fresh ev-
idence of the friendly feeling existing
toward the United States On the part
of Great Britain.
Admiral Fletcher had advised Ad-
miral Craddoc!, that precautions had
been adopted by the Americans to
safeguard the British as well as the
America noil interests at Tampico
and TuXpan.

closed in Mariana, said: "Why, they
charged ten cents admission at the

are proud to cooperate in showing
the state at large what they can do,

Mr.. H. H. Whitworth has done more
to advertise Marion county as a stock
growing county than any other single
man in it, and has the only herd of
thoroughbred Duroc Jersey hogs in
Florida. He believes that this is as
fine a breed of hogs as can be grown.
He is selling these hogs for less than
the freight cost him on some that he
purchased with which to start his
herd. He has seventy-five brood sows
and number of boars undisposed. No
farmer can expect TO raise hogs I'M
less he has a strain to breed from,
and with the present price of pork one
stands in his own light not to consult
Mr. Whitworth. Here is an opportu-
nifty for the thrifty farmer to more
than double his money.

gone from the capital to Vera Cruz.
This rumor originated with railroad
officials, who claim that Huerta left
the city at four O'clock this morning

Querido Moyeno, the foreign minister,
at the port of Vera Cruz, is said to
have some connection with the plan
of Huerta to fee the country. An in
vestigation has failed to show any
trace of the president at the capital.
No official confirmation, however,
of his disappearance was obtainable
this morning.

Washington, Nov. Claiming to
complete the consideration of the ad-
ministrative currency bill by tonight,
the senate democratic conference to-
day hurried through the minor details
and took up the disputed fundament-

would adopt a binding resolution to
put all democrats behind the Owen
bill, as the party measure arose, but
this, however, did not come to an is
sue.
Senator Lewis of Illinois said that
he would strongly resent any binding
resolution as several of the democrats

IN THE RACE
Opening Of Queen Contest Marked
by Enjoyable Dance-How
the Candidates Line Up

The contest to decide who will be
soueen of the Third Annual Colum-
bis River Valley Grape Carnival
opened Monday morning when
tickets for the series of three Queen s
dances were placed for sale by the
twelve candidates who so far have
been nominated.
That the candidates lost no time
in garnering votes by the sale of the
dance tickets was evidenced by the
big crowd whicn turned out to the
first dance held Wednesday night
at the opera house. The hall had
been nicely decorated in Carnival
colors, purple and green, and before
the evening was more than we'll
begun almost everyone else was
likewise decorated by one or more
of the Carnival badges, with a fair
sprinkling of Richland Festival
badges, distributed by Ben Knapp,
who announced that he was running
for King of the Festival.
No more efficient electioneering
was ever seen at any polling place
than that displayed by the candi-
dates who were busy every minute
of the time, either at the door or on
the floor, and not a man escaped
until he had been ticketed and
badged to the limit.
1t was a big and Jolly crowd and
no more enjoyable hop has been
held in Kennewick since the Carni-
val contest of last yeat. Noticeable
among the dancers were the delega-
tions Of young people from Pasco
and Richland who were on hand to
help along the campaigns of Miss
Clements, of Richland, and the
Misses Hogan, Leverich and Hubert
who are in the race for Pasco.
At 11:3O the votes were counted
and the following result announced

count for Next Year-Less
Than This Year

The city council met in special
session last Tuesday night to con-
slider the clerks estimate of city
expenses for the coming year. The
estimate calls for SIC, 800 for salaries
and running expenses in the several
departments, in addition to the in
terest on sewer bonds which amounts
to 81 $50. This is $3.50 less than
the estimate for 1918. The prin-
cipal estimated saving is in the fire,
police and irrigation departments
where $3.50 has been Topped off the
estimate for equipment and Incl
dentals. It is estimated there will
be further saving of 500 each in
the clerks and treasurer's office.
Allowance has been made fol
more hydrants, estimated to cost
$24O more than last year. The es-
innate for street improvement work
is $4,000, the same as last year,
the same number of policemen are
provided for. New fire equipment
estimated at $40.
The estimated income is placed
at SIS, 900 from saloon and miscel
aneous licenses and $13,64O by
taxation.
The tax levy will be fixed at tht
first meeting in October and un'
doubtedly will be placed at the max.

They will be met by autos at the

after Prof. Thornber's lecture at
the Commercial Club rooms there
will be big fruit spread prepared
for the visitors. Some fine speci-
mems OF Kennewick peaches, grapes,
watermelons, cantaloupes, ETC.,
have been gathered and are now on
ice awaiting the feast.
1t is unfortunate that the visitors
could not be here earlier in the day,
so that more of the valley could be
shown to them, but perhaps the
taste of four prize peaches and melons
may make more of an impression
on their memories than several
hours of sightseeing.
1t is to be desired that as many
as possible of our business men be
present in the evening to welcome
the visitors. These are the men
who have great influence with the
prospective settler and it is to our
advantage to make their short stay
here pleasant and that they should
carry back with them a good idea
of what our advantages are to the
man seeking a location.

SUNDAY MORNING FIRE
DESTROYS RESIDENCE
Lloyd and Thresher's Home on Fourth
Street Total Loss-Nothng
is Saved

The six-room frame residence on
Fourth street, between Yakima and
Washington, owned and occupied
by Bert Lloyd and w. P. Thresher,
was destroyed by fire last Sunday
forenoon between eight and nine
O'Clock. All the furnishings and
the owners personal effects were
lost.
The fire originated in the kitchen,
probably from the range, in which
a fire had been built to heat water,
while both occupants of the house
were at their downtown place of
business. Harry Breed, who lives
at the Cottman apartment house
nearby, first phoned in the alarm,
about twenty minutes after Mr..
Thresher, who was the last to leave
the house. had got down town.
The fire boys responded promptly
and for once had an excellent force
of water to work with, but the fire
had swept through the house SO
rapidly, owing to all the doors and
windows being open, that little
could be done except to protect the
neighboring dwellings.
The Evenson residence on the
east, though within a few feet OF
the burned building, was not even
scorched, but the Oldberg house on
the west was badly blistered and the
Cottman apartment house caught
fire on the roof two or three differ
ent times, but the incipient blazes
were put out without much damage
The burned residence represented
a loss of about S25OO, partially
covered by $500 insurance. The
furnishings and personal effects
were insured for $500 and repre-
sented a value of two or three times
that amount. Messrs. Lloyd and
Thresher have fitted up and are
now occupying rooms over their
saloon in the Anderson building.
