RICHLAND GROWERS
in POTATO UNION
Preliminary Meeting Held for
Purpose of Organizing to
Market This Years Crop

A mass meeting of the potato grow
ers of the Richland district was held in
the Security State Bank Monday eve
ming of this week with an idea of or
ganizing union of some kind to OBJ
tain better prices and better market
Tor the potato crop of 1916. Prac-
t'calIy every man who had an acre
OF potatoes or more was in attendance
and great deal Of enthusiasm was
evidenced. A. L. Nelson was elected
chairman of the meeting and also
acted as secretary. A committee COM
posed of Messrs. H. F. Caldwell, c..
c. Howell and James Kaas was chosen
to see every potato grower in the dis
trict and sign him up to come into the
organization when it was formed. Con-
siderable preliminary work was done
but the union cannot be completed
until the growers have signed up.
This will be done at once and it is
hoped that the Kennewick growers will
unite with the Richland, making it
so much the stronger. p. r. Parks,
of Spokane who will market the straw
berries for the Kennewick-R ichland
Strawberry Marketing Union, was
present and addressed the meeting and
signified his willingness to handle the
potato crop and do his part provided
an organization was perfected. Ev-
cry grower should take hold and do his
part as only by cooperation can bet
ter prices and markets be obtained.

STUDENTS SCORE WITH
OPERETTA '.POCAHONTAS''
Young Actors Show Marked Ability in
Presenting the Annual High
School Entertainment

Again the students of the Richland
high school scored decided hit with
their presentation of the operetta
"Pocahontas" Saturday evening in the
auditorium of the high school. The
scenery and costuming were most re-
alistic, great credit being due to F. A.
Howes, veteran actor, who had
charge of the makeup of the entire
cast. Miss Evelyn Yedica, in the char
acter of All Meek, the mother-in-law
scored the hit of the evening, while
Prof. Walter Holt as Chief Powhatan
gave fine piece of character acting,
and his voice showed great range and
power. Miss Ruth Havstad, as Po-
cahontas, sang her role in capable
manner, her voice being very sweet
and clear. Harry Maupin, Carl Hard
ing and Eva Maupin were all proficient
in their various roles and did much to
make the evening the success it was.
The chorus was strong, finely costum-
ed and credit to the community num-
bering as it did a great many of the
students in the high school who had
previously known but little of voice
culture and the ability with which
they carried off their part is entirely
due to the efforts of Miss Ethel Smith.
instructor of music in the school.
The character of Queen Anne was
ably delineated by Miss Marjorie
Caldwell, one of the most beautiful
girls in the valley, her costume being
very handsome and typical of the time
in which the operetta was laid.
The largest crowd which has ever
attended an affair in the local school
building was on hand long before the
curtain arose to witness the efforts of
the young people and that it was well
worth their attention is the unani-
nous verdict of all present.
Prof. Walter Holt and Prof. c. D.
Lille are responsible for the staging
and costuming Of the production and
they certainly proved that they under
stood their work.
F. F. Beste, Of Kennewick deserves
great deal of thanks for the beauti-
full Indian curios and knick-knacks
which he so kindly allowed the stu
dents to use.

RICHLAND CHILDREN TO
MAKE MERRY MAY DAY
May Pole Exercises to be Given in
Anon Park by the Pupils
of Grammar Schools

The annual May Day festival of
the Richland grammar schools will be
held in Anon park, Friday, April %.
The fun will commence at 1880 in
the morning and will continue until
noon. Everyone is requested to bring
a regular picnic lunch as baseball
game is scheduled to take place right
after dinner between the boys of the
grammar school and the boys from
Kennewick. Both teams have been
practicing hard and both are sure of
the victory so the event will be excit-
ing from start to finish.
The May Day celebration is becom-
ing a feature of the school year thru
out the United States and it is surely
well worth while in that it develops
in the children a love of good music,
grace Of motion and action. The folk
dance does more to develop the child
into graceful man or woman than
does any other department of school
gymnasium work.
The May Pole will form a prominent
part in this celebration while Miss
Helen Carlson, one of the sweetest as
well as brightest girls in the school.
has been chosen Queen of the May by
her fellow students.
Great credit for the work in this
line is due the teachers, Misses Myrtle
Penn, Zada Roe, Lulu Dobson, Juanita
Hamilton and Viola Wiley, who have
been untiring in their efforts in drill
ing the little ones.
The program follows:
Songs, "Haste, Ye Lads and Lassies
Gayw
Song, "This is Gay and Happy
Day!"
Growing of the Queen.
Song, "Hail to the Queen"
Why We Have May Day.
Spring Time song.
Frolic of the Spring Fairies.
Song, Springs in the Air, Boys!"
Song, 1.-THE Violet"
Coming Thru the Rye See You.
Scottish Highland Drill.
Cornish May Dance.
See Saw-May Time.
Hoop Drill.
May Time March.
Apple Blossom Drill.
Ok Dance.
Song, "The Birds Nest"

Costello are HOstesses

One of the largest affairs ever given
in Richland was the "At Home" held
last Thursday at the beautiful Van

of the Ladies' Aid of the Methodist

ing the afternoon fifty-seven people
called. The house was beautifully de-
corated with potted plants and boughs
of lilac while the table on which the
elaborate luncheon was served was re-
splendent with the Costello cut glass
china. The menu was elaborate and
was served in cafeteria style. Every
one who had the pleasure of attending
voted this one of the most delightful
afternoons of their lives. A photo
grapher from Kennewick made spec
ial trip to Richland to secure pictures
of the entire group.

of the county will not have to return

cows as does the feed given them in
the winter months from a first-class

The LEAGUE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

In marking your ballot remember that two
of the legislative candidates in Bottineau .coun-
ty endorsed by the Nonpartisan League appear
under the republican column and two under the
democratic column. The names of A. NJ. Hag-
an and J. C. Miller will be found in the republi-
can column, while the names of L. L. Stair and
Nels Magnussen appear in the democratic
column.
VoTE FOR ALL FOUR. Do not make the mis-
take of voting for only two. TIL law provides
for four representatives from this district. The
instructions on the ballot are to vote for four
candidates. Four names will appear in the re-
publican column and only two in the demo
cratic column. DO not make the mistake of
voting for all four of the republican candidates,
as in that way you will practically neutralize
your vote. After making q cross following the
names'o of Hagan and Miller, move over to the
right on your ballot and mark a cross after the
names of Stair and Magnussen.
It is hardly necessary to say anything in sup
port of the league legislative candidates. They
were selected by the farmers of Bottineau
county early in the year to represent them in
the next legislature. They were selected be-
cause of their fitness, ability and honesty. They
are all representative men in their communities,
we'll worthy of the suffrage of every voter,
whether he be a league member or not.
Unless you make sure that you vote right
on the legislative ticket your work for the
league and it's program will be of little avail.
the principles of the league must be carried out
through the next Legislative assembly and it is
highly important that the legislature is control
led by league members.

THERE are.sns altogether too many voters
who look upon an election much as they DO e.
ball game or horse race. They want the side
they bet on to win without giving serious con-
sideration to the character of the candidates on
the ticket of their affiliations. Wholesale de-
bauchery of the ballot gives them no shock,
provided it is in favor of their party or their
bet. AS a result government itself is not con-
sidered seriously and the elective franchise be-
comes a Joke. This attitude, however. is more
the effect of thoughtlessness than the result of
disloyalty, for the same men would enlist in the
country defense if called upon to do so. What
the country wants is a better defense at the
ballot box-a more sincere frame of mind on
the part of the average voter when he is dis
charging the ramou duty of electing men
TO serve the public in an official capacity. ~
