A VALUABLE collection Of eighty-two pic
~ lures aud sketches has recently been IN
stalled In the United States Museum at
Washington without ceremony or pub
licity. Executed by eminent contemporary
French artists. the pictures have been presented
to the people Of the United States by the cit'-
zens OF the French Republic as II token Of their
appreciation Of the sympathetic efforts Of Ameri-
can citizens toward relieving the distress caused
by the European war. One " the most beauti-
full Of the pictures. a crayon drawing by Antoine
Calb4t. IL intended to symbolic the attitude Of
present day America to present day France. 1t
represents u young and beautiful woman COM
passionately embracing another whose attitude
Is eloquent Of grief.
The gift Of the pictures was conveyed by
France to the American people through the
State Department at Washington. 1t was wholly
due to the discretion Of State Department au-
%thorities. mindful Of the fact that America Is
q neutral nation. that the collection was 80
quietly and unceremoniously housed In the Ma
tional Museum.
In striking contrast to the informal way In
which the pictures were Installed In this country
were the brilliant presentation that
took place In France when they were handed to
Ambassador Sharp for conveyance to the citi-
zens Of the United States. An account OF these

UNCLE SAM MAY
HELP BERRY MEN
u. S. Department of Labor May
Send Man Here During Pick
ing and Packing Season

For the purpose of supplying the
labor needs of the Kenncwick-R Rich
land strawberry growers during the
picking season, the U. S. Department
of Labor may open an Office here this
spring.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the department by County
Agriculturalist Lee M. Lampson, who
is in receipt of reply from Commits
sioner Henry M. White, of the Seattle
office. Mr.. White inquiries in detail
concerning the labor situation here
and says: "During the summer of 1915
this Service established number of
Offices thruout the state to assist in
seasonal industries such as you have
in the Kennewick district. In all in
stances the districts furnished free OF
charge the Offices and telephones tc
Federal service, and this same request
would be made in this instance in case
the Department decides to detail q
man to your district during the berry
season. Kindly advise If the Kenne.
wick district would furnish such IA
cilities."

NEED NEW BLOOD
FOR TURKEY RED
Local Miller Says Quality of the
Horse Heaven Wheat Is
Running Down

That Horse Heaven Turkey Red
wheat is running down in vitality and
needs toning up, is the opinion of A.
E. Knerr, miller for the Kennewick
Grain & Milling company. For several
years some of the farmers have been
making seed selections from their own
fields and as result some of the
wheat is falling down in the test for
first class milling wheat. In other
words the Horse Heaven Turkey Red
needs some "new blood" and Mr.. Knerr
recommends that next years seed be
imported from some other section.
This year an unusually large acre
age of bluestem will be raised on the
hills tributary to Kennewick. Because
of an unusually dry fall many of the
farmers did not seed last year while
others who seeded in the dust failed
to get stand. AS result there will
be considerable spring seeding, nearly
all of which will be bluestem. Each
year the local mill uses large quanti-
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1916-03-30

ties of bluestem in the manufacture
of certain brands of its flour and it
will probably be able to furnish mar
ket for all that is raised in the hills
this year.
The company intends to materially
increase the output of the mill this
year and has started systematic ad-
vertising campaign to popularize its
products, especially Washington Hard
Wheat flour. A "bread" census of the
town was begun Monday by Robert
Whitnall, of North Yakima, who has
charge of the campaign. Every home
not now using Kennewick-made flour
will be furnished with sample sack
of Washington Hard Wheat flour. In
making the campaign the company is
not appealing to the peoples sense of
local pride or their loyalty to the prin-
ciple Of patronizing home industry but
are inviting honest comparison of their
products with those of any other
brand sold on the local market.

BUSINESS MEN TO
AID THE CREAMERY
Commercial Club to Assist in
Placing More Stock-C0m-
mittee Named

The local creamery which at one
time trembled on the brink and all but
toppled over into the depths of utter
disaster; which later weathered re-
ceivership and was finally rescued by
the organization Of the Kennewick
COOPERATIVE Creamery company, is
making good.
Since the dairymen undertook the
management Of the plant the volume
of business has been steadily increas-
ing until now every pound Of butter
fat produced between Kennewick and
Fover and about two-thirds of that
produced in the Richland district is
coming here. Until last August near
" all of Richland's cream was being
shipped to Miller Bros. Of Tacoma and
as recently as the first of this year
most of the lower valley cream was
going to the Alfalfa creamery. The
tue has been turned in favor of the
local plant by paying top-notch prices
for butter-fat, by operating wagons
both up and down the valley, and by
paying their patrons twice month.
This has been done in. spite Of the
fact that the present company started
business with no working capital and
are still handicapped by lack of funds.
These, briefly, are the facts set
forth by j. r. Ayers, who appeared
before the Commercial club last eve
ming to request the cooperation of the
business men. What the creamery
company wants to do now, is to get all
of the Richland cream and retire a
small Indebtedness. To do this, it is
planned to sell at least $500 worth of
unplaced stock. At the annual meet
ing in January, Mr.. Ayers offered to
be one of the so men who would pur-
chase ten shares of stock each. Since
that time he and County Agricultur-
alist Lee M. Lampson have sold about
$500 worth Of stock among the farm
ers. The Commercial club was re-
uuested to undertake the work OF plac-
ing the rest of the stock with the busi-
ness men.
Several members of the club spoke
in favor of the proposition and L. -.
Johnson, M. M. Moulton and H. r.
Vibber were named to prepare and
circulate the subscription list.

MARKETING PLAN
is DECIDED UPON
Kennewick- Richland Union En-,
ter into Definite Agreement
with Spokane Men

At meeting of the board of di-
rectors Of the Kennewick- -Richlan6
Marketing Union Friday evening q
definite agreement with p. r. Parks
and his associates was entered into
for handling this years strawberry
crop. The Spokane men will take en-
tire charge, inspecting, warehousing
loading and marketing the berries
and will settle with each grower, for
Is cents crate. The Union, how
ever, will put their own bookkeeper in
charge of the accounting department
SO that at all times the directors will
be thoroly familiar with the details
of the business.
Before leaving for Spokane, Mr.
Parks rented the warehouse Of the
Fruit Growers association which will
be used by the Union during the berry
season. The two organizations, how
ever, are to be in no way connected
Even the sign on the front of the
building is to be blotted out by the
Unions own sign.
The board has also definitely decided
that the extra fancy pack shall con.
sist of five by fives and up, with ar
allowance of Is per cent of skies
All smaller berries will be handled
un-capped and un-labelled as number
twos.
Arrangements have been made by
the Union to furnish their members
with supplies and all members are re-
quested to leave their orders fol
crates and stamps with the Produce
company in Kennewick and the Secur-
ity State Bank IN Richland. These
orders must all be in within the next
two weeks so the total number OF
crates can be known. The Union will
sell the crates at a small margin OF
profit to meet Incidental expenses.
Each grower will be required te
have rubber stamps as follows "Growr
and packed by" Extra Fancy Clark's
Seeding" "No. g." and a number
stamp for each packer.

Surprise Had been Reading

"Just say for me that the Kenne-

Benton county" said County Auditor
j. c. Syfford after he had returned
from trip over it Tuesday evening.
"From what / had read of it in the
Live Wire Column of your paper, I
expected to find the road nearly i'm
passable. If we had as good a road
between here and Prosser we could
make the trip in an hour.

council is Swamped by Flood of
Remonstrances Against
Improvement
DECISION NOT YET REACHED
Delinquent Assessments for Other
improvements Cause City
Fathers to Hesitate

After two special paving meetings
the city council is still swamped un-
der a flood of remonstrances which
came sweeping in from all directions
Il the first official paving hearing last
Saturday evening. The nonresident
ioined forces with the resident pro-
perty owner and attacked the council
IN their weakest point-the present
local Improvement Indebtedness. Af-
ter hearing remonstrances both writ
ten and verbal Saturday evening the
council adjourned until Monday eve
ming when the attack was renewed.
Those who protested raised no OBJ
jections to the kind of pavement nor
attempted to question the need of i'm
movement but based their objections
upon the general financial conditions
and the number of unpaid assessments
which already stand against the pro-
party.
Some Of the side streets escaped
without protest but a veritable storm
Of them came from owners of proper
ty along Pacific and Washington
streets. Out of a total of LOO feet
frontage along Pacific from Second
TO the N. P. depot all but 25 feet pro-
tasted, T. ]. Ennis being the only
property owner who made no objec-
ton. About half of the owners along
Second interposed objections.
In spite of the protests the council
remained firm until Mondays meet
ing when the matter Of present in
debtedness was brought up. It was
discovered that next year and the year
following local Improvement bonds to
the amount Of $4,000 will mature.
Until this year the city has been ra-
ther lax in collecting the maturing
installments on the assessments and
there are now many delinquencies.
The paving question will be taken up
again at the councils regular meeting
next Tuesday evening. At this time
the present Indebtedness question will
be gone into more fully, to ascertain
the exact amount Of the delinquent
assessments, the ability Of those in
arrears to pay, and the total assess
ments now outstanding against the
property which would have to stand
the cost of the proposed improvement.
Members. of the council point out
that unless the property is already too
heavily burdened the cost of paving
would not be burdensome. AS plan
ned the Improvement would cost about
y year for eight years on each %
foot lot.

SINGERS DISAPPOINTING

This years Lyceum course finished
in. an anti-climax Tuesday evening
when the Old Home Singers appeared
in the High School gymnasium. The
attraction was keen disappointment
alike to members of the Lyceum COM
mittee and the large audience which
attended the concert. Members OF
the company would have difficulty in
making good either as musicians or
entertainers among Kennewick's local
talent. There is about $50 still unpaid
on season tickets. AS the committee
is desirous of closing up this years
account all holders of unpaid tickets
are requested to make payment at
onoe to M. S. Lewis.

GRAPE CARNIVAL
ON SHELF AGAIN
Commercial Club for the Second
Time Decides to Drop This
Years Show

The sixth annual Columbia River
Valley Grape Carnival was taken of
the shelf and put on dress parade fol
a brief hour last evening at poorly
attended special meeting of the Com
mercial club. The fact that not more
than a dozen business men attended
the meeting showed pretty conclusive:
ly that the Carnival never had a ghost
Of chance to come back and the down
and out gong was very effectually
sounded when E. w. Trenbath put
thru motion to put this years show
back on the shelf.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of hearing arguments in favor OF
the carnival from representatives Of
the different rural clubs. The Valley
club was the only one to respond. w
R. Crawford, w. H. Allison and w. S
Haxton represented that organization
but neither the Highland Improvement
club nor the Finley Grange offered
any objections to the carnival's being
discontinued.
With the carnival definitely out Of
the running, President Crosby called
upon Principal VIM. Meikle, of the
High School, to outline plans for the
boys and girls industrial contest
work. The Commercial club already
having pledged its support, President
Crosby announced that within the
next few days he would appoint a
committee to work with the school
authorities.
The completed premium list for the
contests will be published in next
weeks issue of this paper.
