ises large attendance of members.
their families and friends. AS the
title given the function indicates, it
is to be an informal social gathering
of the club membership "get-to-
gether" affair which will make mem
bers and their families better ac?
quainted, and at the same time give
them an opportunity to learn what
the club is doing.
The Commercial club has given evi.
dence during the past year that it is
not purely social institution by any
means, but, operating on the principle
that "all work and no play is not al
together good, the club has found an
occasional informal gathering of it's
members for purposes of divertlse-
ment to be effective in promoting
good fellowship and closer co'opera-
tion.
This evenings program will include
dancing, bridge, whist, five hundred,
billiards and general sociability. Light

out the evening on the cafeteria plan,
and an attractive musical program

ira. Every member of the CONNER

Mr.. Powell plans to make the trip
not only a business proposition but a
holiday as well. He points out that
within short time now the orchard
list will be hitting the steady grind of
the busiest season of the year, and
that right now is an opportune time
to take day off, and at the same time
learn some valuable lessons in hor-
ticulture and diversified farming.
Mr.. Powell offers the following sug-
gestions regarding the trip:
"Take the morning O-W. r. & N.
train which leaves Kennewick at 6:20.
The railroad company has promised
that If there is sufficient number OF
passengers they will give us re-
turn train, leaving Sawyer's at a p.

sential that everyone take their lunch
All work and no play doesn't pay. You
