Worth Careful THOUGHT

Do you read the label TO know Whether
your baking powder is made from cream
of tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate?
Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar, derived from grapes, and
adds to the food only wholesome qualities.
Other baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and h%ealthful-
ness for low price.

BATTLE AGAINST BUG
State College Professor Arrives
Here to Study Habits of the
Strawberry Root Wevil

Prof. A. L. Melander, entomologist
Of the State College, arrived in Kenne.
wick this week to take charge of a
battle which Horticulturalist Luke
Powell has started against the
strawberry root weevil in Benton
county. This insect which made its
first appearance in the county about
three years ago, is rapidly multiply
ing and unless its ravages can be
checked the berry industry will suffer
heavily.
At the Commercial club luncheon
Wednesday, Prof. Melander explained
that as yet no means of control had
been discovered and that the weevil
had completed the destruction of hum
dreds Of acres Of berries in the North
west.
While here the professor will make
a close study of the habits of the wee
vii and the parent bug and will try
out several experiments in the hope
that he may be able to find something
to exterminate it. The expenses Of
his campaign are being paid from a
$500 appropriation recently made by
the county commissioners whose ac-
tion was heartily endorsed by. the
Commercial club at Wednesdays
meeting.
Prof. Melander will tell the farmers
some interesting things about the wee
vii at the Highland club house to-
morrow (Friday) evening.

BENTON TO BOOST
BOYLE AT YAKIMA
Republican Delegates Instructed
to Support Prosser Attorney
for National Delegate

Benton county's delegation will go
to the state republican convention in
North Yakima Saturday, pledged to
use all honorable methods to secure
the selection of Lon Boyle, Of Prosser.
as delegate to the national conven-
tion in Chicago. Otherwise the 18
men who represent this county will
carry with them no instructions from
the convention which met in this city
last Saturday.
Temporary Chairman Geo. E. Fin
ley had hardly grasped the gavel when
County Auditor J. c. Syfford was on
his feet with motion to pledge the
convention to the support Of County
Chairman Lon Boyle. The motion was
tabled to await permanent organiza-
tion when Jas. K. Hawkins placed in
nomination the name Of Geo. E. Fin
ley. Upon ballot Mr.. Boyle won out
and his selection was made unanimous
upon Mr.. Finley's motion.
This congressional district is entitled
to two delegates to the national con-
vention. The Walla Walla delegation
will go to North Yakima pledged to
support John d. Ankeny. Other can
didates are A. D. Sloan, of North Yak
ina, j. C. Hubbell, of Ellensburg and
possibly Samuel Hill, of Maryhill.
Saturdays convention was one Of
the largest ever held in the county
and was characterized by unusual
harmony, especially in view of the fact
that many men who four years ago
followed the Roosevelt standard were
seated as delegates. F. R. Jeffrey, Of
this city, and A. C. Rumble of Prosser.
were chosen permanent chairman and
secretary by acclamation.-
In order that as many of the coun-
ty's republicans as possible might
have seats in the state convention 18
delegates with half vote each will
be sent to North Yakima. That ev-
cry section of the county might be
fairly represented it was decided to
select the delegates by commissioners
districts, allowing seven each to the
second and third districts and four to
the first. The delegates are: s. j.
Harrison and L. L. Todd, of Benton
City; F. L. Bash and ]. c. Syfford, OF
Hanford; A. C. Rumble, A. C. Bailey,
B. E. McGregor, Andrew Brown and
Lon Boyle Of Prosser; Otto Jaeger, OF
Columbia, A. R. Gardner, A. n. Wheat
on, H. w. Desgranges and F. R. JEFF
rey, of Kennewick, Geo. e. Finley, OF
Finley, and Harry Wheelhouse and
M. d. O'Connell, of Richland.
A. R. Gardner was chosen as Ben
ton county's representative on the
state platform committee which meets
in North Yakima one day in advance
of the convention.
