ing against it.

The annual banquet rendered to the
Senior class of the Richland high

ique in that the word "senior" was

ever attempted by class in the local
school, consisting of four courses, all
served in the most attractive manner.
William Cunning acted as toastmas-
ter in his usual able and entertaining
manner, while Miss Evelyn Yedica,
president of the Junior class gave a
short address of greeting. In the alb
sence of the president of the Senior
class, Gene Mitchell gave suitable
response while Prof. Walter Holt
spoke at some length on prepared
ness" incidentally giving few de-
tails along a humorous line, dealing
with his preparedness for the banquet.
Other speeches were made by Misses
Gale Churchill, Ruth Havstad, Edna
Armstrong, Messrs. C. D. Lille, G. o.
Ralstad and David Anthony.
Later in the evening the guests ad-

LADIES MAKE GOOD WITH
THEIR PURE FOOD SHOW
Quantities of Leading Brands of Mer.
chandise are Demonstrated by
Richland Women

The pure food exhibit given by the
Ladies' Aid of the Methodist church
last Wednesday was one of the most
successful ever given by this body.
The booths were beautifully decorated
while appropriate signs gave due Gre
dit to the manufacturers who donated
the goods. The Hills Bros. coffee was
effectively prepared and served by
Mesdames Wheelhouse and Bier, while
Mrs. H. F. Yedica did the honors for
the Dependable coffee manufacturers.
Mesdames Cowles and Forbes demon
strated Kellogg's Krumbles, and
Drinket, by the same company, was
also dispensed by these ladies. Post
UNI was demonstrated by Mesdames
F. A. Rouse, Fred Sleight and M. D.
O'Connell, while Mesdames T. j. Chal-
craft and C. S. Gibbs dispensed Mrs.
Porter's Fig and Fruit Puddings in a
most attractive style. Mesdames Per-
ry Willoughby and R. D. Sawyer had
charge of the demonstration of Mrs.
Porter's Salad Dressing and the In
land Empire Biscuit company's waters.
Other members Of the aid served sand
witches, the filling for which was fur
nished by the Produce Company, of
Kennewick, the butter used being the
gift of the Kennewick Creamery and
the bread used in making the sand
wiches was prepared from flour fur
nished by the Kennewick Grain &
Milling company. Vibber- Clifford had
a fine display of their various COM
plexion aids as well as other drugs
and this part of the exhibits was ably
handled by three of Richards most
popular girls, Misses Viola Wiley.
Gale Churchill and Juanita Hamilton.
That the affair was a decided sue
cess, both in an advertising way for
the manufacturers who sent the goods
to demonstrate and also for the treas
ury of the Aid and every woman who
had the exhibit in hand wishes to
thank the men who so kindly helped
them by their liberal consignments of
goods.
The Pacific Power & Light company
was especially kind in setting up a
beautiful electric range for demonstra-
ton purposes.
