CAMPUS DAY At =
THE HIGH SCHOOL
Young People Don Overalls and
Aprons and Spend Day in
Beautifying Grounds

Some day, somebody will recline in
the inviting shade of the spreading
trees which fringe the High School
campus, will scent the fragrance Of
Towering shrubs and revel in the beau
ties of the well-kept green, and then
memory will romp back over the years
to the days of the class of Fifteen"
and there conjecture up a picture of
jealous youth in overalls and aprons,
and the busy scenes which made MEM
orable the annual Campus Day.
Last Friday books were flung aside,
class rooms were deserted, and the
trials of problems undone were for
gotten in day of frolicksome work
on the High School grounds. With
rakes, shovels, picks and other hand
made the Observation-Disclosures
blistering machines the youngsters
made the campus look like somebody
was at home.
After the days work was over, 60
permanent shade trees had been plant
ed at the street line around the
grounds and 80 ornamental shrubs and
IL rose bushes had been set out on the
campus, a new driveway had been
opened between the grounds and the
canal, a road had been built around
the campus at the rear, the old cess
pool had been filled, the grounds at
the rear Of the building had been
cleared and leveled ready for seeding,
400 feet of irrigation water pipe had
been laid, and the loose stones had
been converted into a slightly stone
wall along three sides of the campus.
The work was done under the direc-
ton of the Senior class, the work hav-
ing been divided among the other
classes with Senior in charge of
each division. The Juniors planted
the trees, the Freshmen boys laid the
water pipe, the Sophomores built the
stone wall and the grade boys leveled
the roads and driveways, while all the
girls raked the lawn. The Seniors
planted their class vine, Boston ivy,
along the south half of the eastern
part of the building.
At noon hot lunch was served by
the domestic science class under the
supervision of Miss Morris. In the
evening program was given in three
parts. The first part consisted OF
songs and jokes, the second part, Sc
lections by Thorpe's orchestra and
solos, duets and quartets, by the var
ious Seniors. In the third part the
Seniors, in Indian costumes, made a
treaty with M. M. Moulton for the
work done during the day. The fare
well song "Alkiniski Klatawa Nanich
Kopiclos Ailehe" bye and Bye Well
Reach the Promised Land), sung in
the original Chinook language COM
pleted the program. t

SCHOOL CLUBS ARE
DOING GO0O WORK
Professor Meikle Has Many Boys
and Girls Busy in the
Different Divisions

For the last three years club work
has been conducted in the different
grades of the Kennewick public
schools. This work has proven very sue
cessful in the purpose for which it
was organized, that Of securing exhib-
it's for the school contests held in
connection with the grape carnival.
Under the old plan there was one large
general club known as the Boys and
Girls Industrial club. This system Of
organization did not provide for the
supervision of the work by any GER
tain person, but in it the success of
the work depended entirely upon the
child engaged in the work. The plan
was very successful but lacked the nee
esary supervision of persons qualified
to give instruction along the different
lines of work being done by the club
members. To overcome these difficult
ties new system of organization has
been adopted under which the separate
phases of the club work are taught
separately and each separate club or
department is under the supervision
of one of the regular teachers. The
name of the club has been changed to
the "Doing Something Club" and as
the name signifies, each member must
be engaged in some definite club work
in order to maintain his club member
ship. The following bylaws are pub
lished that persons interested in the
work might be able to better under
stand the entire plan Of organization
and the purposes of the club. The
rules governing tie girls organize
tion differ from the boys only in those
parts pertaining directly to their line
of work.
Bylaws of Doing Something Club

assist each member in making spec
ial study Of some line of practical
work in which his division of the club
is interested.

Three Marketing Concerns Agree
to Insist upon Uniformity of
Grade and Pack
pRYCES FOR PICKING AND
PACKING ARE OUTLINED
Extra Fancy Berries Will be Same
whether Handled by Associa-
tion, Exchange or Davis Co.

At a meeting in the Commercial
club rooms Tuesday afternoon, attend
ed by only a few of the strawberry
growers and representatives of the
three shipping concerns, rules for
grading and prices for picking and
hacking were agreed upon for this
season. Through the cooperation OF
the Fruit Growers' association, The
Fruit Exchange and the H. H. Davis
company, it is the intention to have
the entire crop of the Kennewick and
Richland districts marketed under a
system of uniform pack and grade.
Each one of these three concerns has
agreed to insist upon the same grade
and an extra fancy will mean exactly
the same thing, no matter by whom it
is quoted out.
The adoption of these Uniform rules
will carry with it a more rigid inspec-
ton on the part Of the Fruit Exchange.
Manager Crawford said at the close
Of the meeting that his company would
see to it that its growers lived up to
the letter Of the grade rules. One
man will be put in the field as head
Inspector and he will be given enough
assistants to rigidly enforce the rules.
This year there will be only two
grades, extra fancy and fancy, the
specifications for which are as follows:
tssrn7 Extra Fancy 49,
This grade shall consist of all per-
feet berries, Clark's Seeding variety,
picked at the proper stage of ripeness
for shipping. ALI berries must show
at least three-fourths red. Nothing
smaller than 5x5 and no stemless ber-
ries in this grade. Pack firmly to
avoid settling and have top 3s Of an
inch above the top Of the box. Face
with berries 16 or 20 size. Have face
fairly represent contents of box.
Fancy
This grade to consist of Clark's
Seeding berries, irregular in shape,
but well-colored, firm, clean and free
from trash. No berries not fit for use
will be admitted. Face with berries
25 size.
Soft Varieties
All soft varieties such as Mich Oh
mer, Glen Mary, etc., to be packed
under Specifications of Extra Fancy.
Stamped with name of the berry.
The price for picking this year will
oe the same as for last, 35 cents per
crate, but owing to a change in the
dimensions of the hallocks there will
oe slight reduction in the packing
prlce. Last year a straight price of
~ cents per crate was paid. This
year the price will be 171s cents in
sood patches where steady work is
furnished the packers. In the poorer
ana smaller patches where the packer
IS kept busy but a part of each day
'ae price will be 20 cents per crate.
= owlng to the small attendance at
tuesdays meeting it is not intended
mat tnese prices shall in any sense be
mandatory on the growers but the
scneoule was prepared subject to the
approval OF the growers and to give
Me Shippers basis upon which to
answer the hundreds of inquiries
and packers.

I'm answer to your letter. I have
