A large crowd Of Richland fans ac-
companied the loca. baseball team to
Pasco last Sunday and watched with
enthusiasm the Richland boys run up
score Of to in their favor. They
played the Pasco team and as this
team had previously won from the
Pasco Black Giants, the Richland
players all seem to be of the opinion,
that given a second chance with the
Giants they would be able to put it all
over them in spite of the fact that
they met defeat at the hands of these
boys two weeks ago.
Several carloads of Earliest of All
potatoes have already been shipped
from the Richland district and potato
digging is now on in full force and

having dug from one hill thirteen po-
tatoes of uniform size and all larger

largest potato measured IA inches in
circumference and the others were on

The many friends of Miss Mildred
Devin, for the past two years teacher
of the second grade in the Richland
schools, will be delighted to hear that
Miss Devin has secured most de-
sirable position on the Coast. She APP

Lake Washington from Seattle, and in
spite of the fact that the school board
had to consider eighty-five other ap-
plicants, Miss Devin secured the COW
eted position. She was an unusually
successful teacher and numbered ev-
cry resident of Richland among her
warm friends and it is needless to say
that she carries into her new field of
endeavor the best wishes for success
of every one who had the pleasure of
knowing her while here.

Quite number Of Richland people
attended the strawberry demonstra-
ton last Thursday. In all there were
zen cars carrying people from White
Bluffs, Hanford, Prosser, Kennewick,
Finley and Richland. Messrs. Powell

talks and ably illustrated all the points
most necessary to bring out and it
was the concensus Of opinion Of ev-
eryone who had the good luck to make
the trip that more just such demon
STATIONS would be Of inestimable
worth to the farmers Of the commune
ty, showing them as it did where they
are lacking and what they can do to
better their individual condition.
