sPUD GROWERS ARE
PLEASED WITH CROP
p;.hland Farmers Expect Good
Money from their Fields of
Early Potatoes

Present indications point to an I'M
,,ense crop of early potatoes from
the Richland district. People who
have seen the fields throughout the
.rt;re valley claim that the potatoes
eround Richland are the best that can
he found anywhere. With the price
a b;eh as it is now, selling at 1925
rstail, in Seattle, it certainly looks
GOOD for the fellow who has been
I, lucky enough to get in about five or
ton acres of these money-makers.
The Richland Earliest of All pota-
toes will be on the market about
Julv 9Th to 10th, or at least two weeks
earlier than other sections of the state
and If there is any high price, the
ranchers here should certainly get it.
The weather conditions, which were
90 detrimental to the strawberry crop
were ideal for potatoes, hence the
bright outlook and the only thing
that can prevent a record crop is
some form of blight, which is ex-
tremely unlikely at this time.
Large acreage is being planted at
this writing to late potatoes, which
can be kept throughout the winter
and these should also bring good
nrice. Most of the ranchers are put
ting in from one to five acres of late
potatoes.

if conditions seem favorable the Gibbs

A postal card received from Mrs.
Max Hopp, of Tyler, advises that
they are having much the same wea-
Their conditions in the eastern part Of
the state that we are having here;
that is, continuous rain and cold wind.

The ladies of the Methodist church
will give lawn party Friday evening
May 18th, on the beautiful lawn in
front of the E. S. Hubbard home in
town. A large crowd is expected If
the weather keeps fine and plenty Of
ice cream and cake will be furnished
to delight the heart of every small
boy in the district. The ladies have
already proven, by past performances,
that they are ideal hostesses and ev-
eryone should turn out for q good
time and plenty to eat, thus helping
along worthy cause.

lightful ice cream social in the Van

fine time.
Things seem rather quiet around

that will make it interesting is the
influx Of men to help in the haying.
James Hartho left Tuesday for his
home near Everett, after spending
two months visiting his daughters,
Mesdames H. F. Yedica and Harry
Miller and Miss Laura Hartho. When
Mr.. Hartho arrived in Richland he

atiyes almost despaired of his ever
recovering and it is only another in
stance of the effect of the fine Rich
land climate, when one realizes that
Mr.. Hartho's health is of the very
best-in fact, better than it has been
in several years.
A large crew of civil engineers and
their assistants are camped about
four miles from Richland, they being

The wild creatures of the forest among the most
beautiful things God ever made The pursuit OF them
with dogs and guns is noble sport but is often carried
too far, Regions which inhabited by great
many kinds OF birds and animals solitary, and
some forms OF game, like the American wild pigeon are
said to be entirely killed out.
In the interest of the hunter and all lovers OF beauty
the legislatures have enacted laws for the protection OF
game and besides this the Government has incurred
pense in importing game that could stock the forest
with birds and animals and fill the streams with FISH.
In the matter OF game birds there is great anxiety in
Kentucky and the Government has recently sent num-
ber of English pheasants in the hope that they will multi
ply and stock our forests with beautiful game.
The Forest Reserve of Berea College is the best refuge
for such birds in the and fifteen pheasants have just
been sent be turned loose there These beautiful birds
arrived last Tuesday, FIVE cocks and ten hens-one hen
died in captivity. They exhibited at the College
Tuesday and released that evening The College Reserve
is posted according law and the strcest watch will be
kept to prevent hunters from killing these birds these
birds and other wild game including the wild tur-
key allowed to reproduce and multiply they will spread
out from the College Forest Reserve. 1t is hoped that
every lover OF hunting well lovers OF beauty, will
help the College in keeping pot-huners of the College
domain. The penalties for shooting on land which is
posted rightly severe.

porus on both sides of the strait.
According to observations made
from ships and hydroplanes, our shells
fell with exactitude. Russian a-iators
flying above the Bosporus batteries
carried out "Reminiscences and
dropped bombs with success. A heavy
artillery fire was directed at the avia-
tors without success.
"The enemy's torpedo boats, which
tried to come out, were driven back
into the strait by the fire Of our guns.
"a large hostile ship which was try
ing to get into the Bosporus from sea-
ward, was bombarded by us. She
finally keeled over and blew up"
The Russians are continuing their
progress in Hungary, while the Ger
mans, apparently In an effort to d.
vert Russian attention from this field,
