Last years festival was decided sue
cess and the enthusiasm shown at that
time proved to everyone interested
that these little home festivals are just
what the local people want. 1t is an
incentive to grow better stuff and also
forms the people of this district into
a more united body Of workers along
progressive farming lines.

day at the home of Mrs. H. E. Comp

The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist
church feel much eleated at the sue
cess of their new venture last week,
the waffle sale. 1t proved great sue
cess and altho the ladies having the
affair in charge had to work. hard all
day they feel that the results obtain
ed more than repay them for their eff
forts. The waffles were especially fine
and served in tasteful manner and
the young people who attended after
the basketball game in the evening

Geo. T. Hogler has been appointed
assistant to District Horticultural In
spector Luke Powell to cover the work
to be done in the Richland district.
Mr.. Hogler will have his Office with
County Agriculturalist Lee Lampson,
in Kennewick and will make his reg
ular tours of inspection thru the dis
trict. Mr.. Powell could not cover all
the county alone and found it neces-
sary to appoint number Of assis-
tants who will have charge of spec
ial territory and in this way the en-
tire county can be inspected in thoro
manner.
In last weeks issue we made an err
ror in write-up Of the local nursery.
The nursery at Richland is known as
the Home Nursery Co., Fred Freeman,
proprietor, instead of the Richland
Nursery Co. All mail for the nur-
sery here should be addressed to the
Home Nursery Co., Richland. We re-
greet this error and take this oppor-
tunity to call it to the attention OF
the many patrons of the local COM
pany, which is one of the thriving con-
Germs in Richland and merits the pa
tronage of all who are in the market
for nursery stock.
Joe Koelsch has installed a fine new
pool table in his place of business and
will be ready for his patrons in few
days. Mr.. Koelsch has had the en-
tire inside of his building renovated
and it is in excellent shape for a good
summer trade. A barber chair will
be installed in the near future and al
tho persistent rumor to the effect
that lady barber will preside is
floating around town, Joe is strong in
his assertions that this is fake.
However, the new place will be at
tractive in every respect and will ca
ter to the best class of trade in soft
drinks, etc.
A small frame house at Fruitvale
owned by C. E. Pike was totally des-
troyed by fire Tuesday morning. Mr.
Pike was away at work on the road
when his wife discovered that the
roof had caught fire from the stove
pipe which extended thru it. Owing
to the high wind blowing Mrs. Pike
decided she could do nothing so she
began to, carry out such household
goods and clothing as she could carry
and in that way managed to save con-
siderable before the fire drove her
out. Neighbors came to the assistance
of the family and will assist them un-
til they can build new home on their
ronch
