County AgricuIturaIist Selected
to Head Strawberry Mar
keting Agency
FORM OFCONTRACTPREPARED
Directors Decide Not to Increase the
Membership of the Board at this
Time-To Meet March 9Th

County Agriculturalist Lee M.
Lampson has been chosen president Of
the new Kennewick- -Richland Market
ing Union which will handle this
years strawberry crop. At a meet
ing of the six directors in Richland
Saturday, Mr.. Lanspson was unani-
mously chosen to head the organiza-
tion. M. N. Hudnall, of this city is
secretary and ]. r. Gardner, of Rich
land is vice president.
The bylaws provide that the board
may at its discretion select two other
members who may or may not be
growers but the directors did not
deem it necessary or advisable at this
time to increase the membership of
the board. This may be done, later,
however, if thought best. The seven
members on the board are, Lee M.
Lampson, James Johnston, Emil Al
brecht, M. N. Hudnall, j. r. Gardner,
j. E. Mowrey and f. A. Friermood.
A contract between the union and
the growers has been adopted along
the general plans of the contract used
by the Spokane Fruitgrowers' associa-
tion. The next work of the board will
be to circulate this contract among the
growers for their signatures. For con-
venience the contract is drawn in
blanket form with four authorized
copies, two of which will be circulated
at Richland and two at Kennewick.
1t is the hope Of the directors to
have all contracts completed by March
4.so that at a meeting March 6, they
may be ready to take up the matter of
engaging a salesmanager or entering
into contract with some selling
agency for the distribution of this
years crop. Several we'll established
marketing concerns have submitted
propositions and the board intends to
fully investigate the merits of each
before deciding which course to fol-
low.
LEADERS Of the organization move
ment are still hopeful that they will
be able to materially increase the
in the Kennewick district
by bringing in several prominent
growers who declined to sign the or
iginal agreement.
Now that the preliminaries have
been disposed of and the board per-
organized in a manner that
is satisfactory to large
percentage of the growers in the two
districts, the directors are confident
this year will be the most successful
one the strawberry men have ever had
so far as the marketing of the berries
is concerned.

NOT SO MANY IN
RACE AFTER ALL
RumOrs of Numerous Candidates
for School Director Not
Well Founded

After all rumors have been thoroly
run down, the large field of candidates
for school director dwindles to two
surely, three maybe and four possibly.
John A. Brog has formally announced
his candidacy and r. C. Mouneey said
before leaving for Portland yesterday
that he will be a candidate for re-
election. C. L. Holcomb is being urg-
ed by his friends to enter the race but
he has not definitely decided whether
to or NOT.
The rumors that G. CARRIER and C.
A. Doan were candidates were un-
founded. Mr.. CARRIER declares very
emphatically that he will not be
candidate under any consideration,
and Mr.. Doan says he never so much
as thought of entering the race. A ru-
NOR was current this afternoon that
w. S. Haxton had tossed his hat into
the ring but this paper was unable to
get into communication with Mr.. Hax-
ton to either verify or dissipate the
rumor.
The school election will be held Sat-
urday, March a. The director who is
to succeed Mr.. Mounsey is to be elect
ed for three years and will have as
colleagues on the board. M. M. Moul-
ton and E. o. Keene, the two hold-over
members.

D. A. R. PATRIOTIC
PROGRAM PLEASES
Entertainment Arranged by Lo-
cal Chapter is Attended by
Large Audience

The patriotic entertainment ar
ranged and presented by the Kenne-
wick Chapter, D. A. R., in the Com
mercial club rooms Tuesday evening,
was one of the pleasant features Of
a general observance of Washington's
birthday in the community. The en-
tertainment combined a program Of
patriotic numbers with an informal re-
ception for Mrs. edmund Bowden,
state regent, who was the principal
speaker of the evening.
The club rooms were transformed
into a hall of patriotism by a pretty
arrangement of flags and bunting,
while the addition of rugs and the
seating arrangement added effective
ness to the setting. Mrs. w. B. Wuth.
vice state regent presided during the
evening.
Mrs. Bowden gave many interest
ing facts regarding the founding and
the work of the D. A. r. The move
ment for some organization, member
ship in which should limited to the di-
rect descendants Of the men and wo-
men of the revolutionary period began
in 1876. The idea originated with ].
G. Blaine, who suggested that so far
as possible, those having charge of
the celebration of the first centennial
of the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, be direct descendants of
revolutionary parents. The first or
ganization Of this kind was perfected
in California and was known as the
Sons Of Revolutionary Sires. An in
teresting letter from one of the or
ganizers of this chapter was read by
Mrs. Bowden.
Briefly, the work Of the d. A. R., as
outlined by Mrs. Bowden, is to teach
and promote patriotism, to collect
and preserve all manner Of early his
torical data, to preserve historical
land marks and to encourage and to
assist all immigrants to become good
American citizens. The preservation
of historical data and the marking Of
historical spots is not limited to his
torical facts Of the Revolution but in
cludes the early history Of the states
as we'll as that of the nation.

County Commissioners ]. B. Glenn

making a tour of inspection of the
roads in their districts. While drain
age waters have done no serious dam
age in any one place considerable re-
pair work will be necessary over the

without serious results with the excep-
tion of the bridge across the Yakima

of which had already been let to a
Portland firm.

Fastest Ever Played in the
Local Gymnasium
(By School Correspondent)

(By School correspondent
In one Of the fastest and roughest
games ever played in the local GYM
nasium, the Kennewick high school
basketball team defeated the Richland
quintet Saturday evening by score
of 38 to %.
The Lincoln brothers as guards and
Johnson as center made it almost inn
possible for their opponents to score.
Terril and Muncey held down their
positions as forwards and played a
creditable game for the entire 10
minute period. Terril suffered a bro
ken nose at the beginning of the game
but played thruout both halves.
In the game at Mabton Friday eve-
ming the Kennewick boys lost with a
score of 1927, but feel that they can
easily avenge this when Mabton comes
here in the near future. The game
was very fast and good spirit among
the players characterized the entire
game.
Instead Of the game with Prosser
Saturday, which has been postponed
until some time in March, the North
Yakima high school team will play
the local team here Friday evening.
1t is expected that the Pasco girls
team will play the local girls team
here Saturday, and that the Pasco
grade team will meet the local eighth
