F. ]. O'Brien spent Wednesday in
Prosser on business.
Mrs. Henry Hoffman was confined to
her home by illness several days last

Rev. c. A. Smith and his sister were

bers of his congregation who rendered
him pound party.
Harry Wheelhouse left Tuesday for
Spokane, where he will buy stock of
winter goods for the store. ,Arlie Fish
is clerking in his absence.
c. S. Teachout left Thursday for St.
Cloud, Mimi, to join his wife and they

daughter, Mrs. John Dam. During his

Sheriff c. E. Duffy met with an acct
dent, both to himself and to his car
last Friday. While driving home to
Prosser thru the sand in the Fruit
vale district, he broke the axle of his
car and had to drive back to town be-
hind horse to get man to go out to
make the necessary repairs. To make
matters worse, on his return to Rich
land, while trying to crank Doc David
sons new car he let the crank slip and
smashed badly two of his fingers. So
it looks as thought the sheriff had
troubles of his own enough to last
him while without the necessity of
looking up any criminals or such like
nuisances.
dad" Davidson got just a little
peeved at the correspondent last week
on account of the fact that he was
written up in these columns as winner
of second prize on his Jersey heifer.
Now, we surely didn't intend to get in
wrong with dad" and only copied the
prize winners as they appeared on the
list submitted by the committee and
are more than glad to take this space
and opportunity to inform the general
public and especially those to whom he
was so anxious to prove the superior
ity of his "animal" over the others en-
tered in the same class, that w. S.
Davidson sure enough won first prize
on his Jersey heifer and what is more
has a swell blue ribbon to prove his
contentious to this honor. <*rs
The Midland Lyceum Bureau, which
will give series of five numbers in
Richland during the coming fall and
winter have set the dates for the var
ious entertainers as follows: October
Is, Arthur Katchel, enacter of plays,
dramatic reader; November Ia, Os-
ceola Pooler and Joyce Dilts, dramatic
reader and pianist; December 80, Gro
attain Tamburica Orchestra, Hungar-
ian muisc on native instruments; jan
uary %, Granville Jones, lecturer and
humorist; February 10, Edna Earl
Crum Concert Party, instrumental and
vocal artists. A season ticket for the
entire course will only be $500 for
adults and $1.O0 for children under IL
years of age. General admission, so
cents. Tickets are on sale at the Ad-
vocate Office or same can be secured
from Prof. Walter Holt. The people
of Richland have guaranteed 1926 on
this venture and it is up to every man,
woman and child in the district to get
out and hustle and make the affair a
success. There is no, doubt as to the
quality of the talent on the program
and as the idea is purely educational
and for the benefit of the schools of
Richland, it would seem that great
deal more than the guarantee should
be sod before the opening of the
course.
Thru the good Offices of Mrs. T. C.
Mountain the Ladies' Aid of the Meth
ozist church will be able to secure tn,
Services of Prof. j. w. Hoppe oral ir
structor in the Cheney normal school,
for one evenings entertainment on
Friday, October 9th. Prof. Hoppe is
one of the best known readers in the
Northwest and the committee in
charge of the recent Richland festival
did everything in their power to
secure him for their program, but
could not see their way clear to meet
his price. Prof. Hoppe will be on the
program at the teachers institute in
Prosser next week and will stop off in
Richland for this program. C. H. Lii
lie warmly indorses the movement as
do many of the other teachers in the
local school, who are personally ac-
quainted with this talented man. The
school directors will allow the Aid to
use the high school auditorium for the
evening and it is expected that it will
be filled to capacity as this is one of
