TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE
SUPPORT OF THE LIBRARY
Hams Jubilee Singers to Appear
Here Under the Auspices of the
Woman's Club

In assuming the financial response
bilities of the public library the Ken
newick Woman's club has undertaken
a big task. The beginning of the new
year finds the institution in far from
a flourishing condition. In bringing
to the city Hann's Jubilee Singers Fri
day evening, January Ia, the club
hopes not only to give the people an
evening of high class entertainment
but to raise substantial sum for the
support of the library.
The Ham singers are said to be one
of the very best jubilee companies on
the road today and the coming enter
tainment will probably be the best of
the kind to be given in the city this
year. Their program is varied and
each one Of the seven members has
the reputation of being an artist in
his line.
The entertainment will be given at
the Congregational church. The price
Of general admission is so cents with
a special price of 25 cents to school
children.

NoBoDY's THIRSTY

Up till noon today things had been
decidedly quiet in County Auditor
Sysford's new liquor dispensary de-
partment, no permits for shipment Of
booze into the state having been ap-
piled for. The auditor has the little
red tags and all the other necessary
equipment to accommodate the trade
but from present indications no extra
clerks will be required TO handle the
details of this department.

COLD DAYS KEEP
SCHOOL COOKS BUSY
Many as 165 Pupils are Served
Daily with Hot Lunch at the
High School Building

It is not generally known that the
most largely patronized eating es-
tablishment in the city is conducted
in the high school building. Since
the beginning of the present cold snap
165 kiddies have been served with a
hot lunch at the noon hour.
This department is operated by the
domestic science department Of the
high school under the personal direc-
tion of Miss Morris. So well man.
aged is the service that it is possible
to seat and serve all Of the youngsters
with steaming hot lunch in the short
time Of twenty minutes.
The hot lunch idea was put into
practice in the local schools last year
for the first time, when q nominal
charge was made for the service. This
year the lunches are served free to all
children who live in the country.
Although lunches are served in sew
eral of the small-town schools in diff
ferent parts of the state it is thought
there is no other school that has un-
dertaken this service on such an ex-
tensive scale.

PUNCH PUTS OUT
PUNCH BOARDS
Official Notice is Given that OPP
GRAFTON of All Gambling
Devices Must Cease
CARDS AND DICE BOX SURVIVE
Local Business Houses Obey Order
and Say Nothing-Some We'll
come Attorneys Action

The state is dry. And that isn't all.
The "Thou-Shalt-Not" lid was given
another downward twist this week
when Sheriff c. E. Duffy, acting under
instructions from Prosecuting Attor-
ney g. w. Fristoe gave official notice
that operation of gambling devices Of
all descriptions must cease Immediate
ly.
AS a result Of the order there mas
been noticeable exit Of slot machines
and punch boards from conspicuous
places in soft drink, cigar and con-
fectionery stores in the city. There
is one lonesome board still in opera
ton which lays claim to immunity by
reason Of the fact that it delivers
something with every punch.
Little or no complaint has been
voiced by local business men against
the new order of things. For the most
part they have quietly obeyed instruc-
tions and said nothing. Some of them
have even expressed themselves as
heartily in accord with the prosecut-
ing attorneys action. "The popular
ity of the punch board was due for a
tumble anyway, or in other words the
punching game had lost its punch"
was one proprietor's comment.
The sheriff's official order follows:
"Thru instructions from the prosecut-
ing attorney, am instructed to no.
tify all parties operating gambling de-
vices of any kind whatsoever, includ-
ing slot machines, punch boards, etc.,
that such operation must cease.
"Candy boards come under the
gambling law, but where they give
value received and no objection is
made, will be allowed to run. How
ever, no assurance is given that they
will be allowed to run for any definite
time"
When asked today over the tele-
phone if the order was intended to
cover dice and cards, Mr.. Fristoe said
that it was not, although he would
give no assurance but that they too
may be placed on the prohibited list.
al have made no investigation Of the
dice and card proposition yet and have
made no ruling regarding their use."

Mr.. Barleycorn leaves no direct de-
cendants. 1t is understood that the
chief beneficiaries under his last will
and testament are Mr.. G. Ale and Miss
Sweet Soda, who have been more or
less associated with him in business
way and to whom he entrusted some
of his higher duties. There is ru-
NOR current that Mr.. Ale's and Miss
Soda's right as legal successors is to
be contested by Mr.. G. Cola, of At
lanta, Ca, and Mr.. G. Juice, of this
city, who have been keen business ri

MAY LICENSE SOFT
DRINK BUSINESS
Council Considers Plans for
Dealing Effectively with vi
olators of Dry Law

The manufacture, sale, keeping or
disposition, of intoxicating liquors is
now not only prohibited by state law
but it has been declared unlawful by
the city of Kennewick. An ordinance
modelled after the state prohibition
law was passed Tuesday evening by
the old council just before it adjourn
ed sine die.
The purpose of the ordinance is to
make it possible for the city to deal
with violations of the state law in a
manner so that fines collected may be
turned into the city treasury. The
city law does not impose any more
rigid restrictions than does the stat
ute. The full text of the ordinance is
given in another column of this is
sue.
AS another step toward the en-
forcement of the prohibition law the
city will probably pass an ordinance
licensing all places where soft drinks
are sold. The license fee will be NOM
inal but such law will enable the
city to deal effectively and finally with
any soft drink dispensers who might
be disposed to engage in bootlegging.
The ordinance if passed will pro-
vide for revocation of the license in
case the prohibition law is violated.
In short, the meaning of the ordinance
will be that dispensers of soft drinks
must be good or quit business.

AND SO OLD JOHN
BARLEYCORN DIED
One of Oldest Residents of Ken.
newick Succumbs to Chronic
Legislation

John Barleycorn, one of the oldest
residents of Kennewick, died natu-
raj and expected death at his three
homes in this city at midnight last
Friday night. A large number Of
the deceased's old-time friends and as
sociates were gathered at his bedside
and voiced their last farewells as the
once vigorous old John crossed the bar
and slipped from the realms of the
things that are into the shade Of
things that were.
1t was most touching scene. There
was not a dry voice in the lot. Hardly
had the last drop ebbed from life's
vial when the old mans remains were
tremendously laid upon the water wa
gon, which had been held in readiness
for several weeks. Interment was in
the community cellar.
Death was due to chronic legislation
from which the veteran had suffered
many years. In its earlier stages the
disease was only Of local nature
and caused no alarm among the old
mans friends. The attacks became
more and more frequent until the mall
ady was manifested in a most malig-
nant form and its severity was un-
doubtedly aggravated by the veterans
refusal to bear his affliction patiently
or to heed the advice of his closest
counsellors. He was Of that rough
and ready type with a kick in every
tissue and an uncurbed impetuosity
undoubtedly hastened the day of his
final account.
The beginning of the end came in
November, 1914, when his strength
was fatally shattered by his coming in
contact with an initiative, directly con-
nected with dry battery which sent
q 80, 000-volt majority crashing thru the
old mans frame. Since that time it
has been the general opinion that the
sufferer would never recover. Many
of his loyal adherents, however, hop
ing against hope, persisted in the be-
lief that their veteran champion would
survive the shock. They backed their
belief with their dollars and spent
thousands in engaging the most noted
experts to take charge of the case.
After numerous consultations and
the most minute diagnosis these ex-
perts announced that advanced sur
gerry was the only hope. Consequently
the decrepit patient was taken to the
supreme court in Olympia, where he
underwent an operation for the inser-
tion of technicality. First reports
indicated that the operation had been
successful. Then the truth became
known-the experts had erred in their
diagnosis technicality could pos
sibly close the wound inflicted by a
10000 majority. And so old John
Barleycorn died.
The deceased was among Kenne-
wick's earliest settlers, having come
here before the town was incorporat-
ed and while this was still part of
Yakima county. From that time un-
til his death he took an active part in
the political, commercial and social
affairs Of the community. In spite Of
his blunt ways, boisterous manner and
spirited disposition he had many

BRING BERRY MEN
TOGETHER JANUARY II
County Agriculturalist will Call
Growers to a Marketing
Agency Meeting

At an adjourned meeting of the
business men last Thursday evening,
the strawberry marketing question
was further discussed. M. M. Moul-
ton, reporting for the investigating
committee, said the paper pledging the
support of the business men had been
circulated sufficiently to make it evil
dent that sentiment was practically
unanimous in favor Of one cooperative
agency.
After a lengthy discussion Of prob
able ways and means Of organization,
County Agriculturalist Lee M. Lamp
son was requested to call meeting
of the Kennewick growers for the
purpose of forming some organization
in conjunction with the Richland
growers.
Mr.. Lampson is in Pullman this
week but before leaving he announced
that the meeting would be called on
Monday, January II. The hour of
the meeting has not yet been deter
mined upon. It has been suggested
that the farmers be brought together
in the forenoon and arrangements be
made to serve lunch so that the meet
ing may be continued during the early
hours of the afternoon. Definite an
nouncement Of the plans for the meet
ing will be made next week.

FEW CHANGES IN
CITY AFFAIRS
FOR This YEAR
New Administration will Follow
About Same Policy Adopted
by the Old One
SAME APPOINTMENTS MADE
Old Council Clears Slate and Gives
Reins of Government into the
Hands of New Members

The policy of Kennewick's new city
administration which took up it's Of
fetal duties Tuesday evening will be
characterized by few, if any, changes
from that followed by the retiring ad-
ministration. A firm, but not neces-
sarily tight, hold will be kept on the
municipal purse strings and economy
will be practiced as far as it is con-
sistent with good business.
Not only will there be but little
change in policy but there will prob
ably be no changes in the official fam
ily so far as appointive Offices are
concerned. The good behavior of the
city is to be again entrusted to C. E..
Copeland as city marshal and j. B.
Hayden as patrolman. The health of
the city will be looked after by DR..
F. M. Crosby and the street work will
continue under the direction Of Wal
ter Lodge. In making his appoint
ments, Mayor L. E. Johnson said that
he was of the opinion that all of these
men had given satisfaction in their
respective positions and he knew of
no reason why there should be any
change. Appointments of police mag
istrate or sewer Inspector were not
made not because the mayor was in
doubt as to whom to name but be-
cause the matter was overlooked.
Little or no business was trans
acted at Tuesdays meeting. The old
council met and by $3.50 had cleaned
the calendar and was ready to turn
the affairs Of the city over to their
successors. Councilman John Ser
combe surrendered his seat to Chas.
Haas, Geo. Tweedt succeeded H. R.
vibber, Geo. Egbert took the place of
Jos. Olbrich and H. A. Bier occupied
the councilman's at large chair va
Gated by Mr.. Haas. The big law book
was turned over to F. r. Jeffrey and
the new council was ready for busi-
ness.
Organization was perfected by the
election of H. A. Bier mayor protein
and the appointment of the following
standing committees by Mayor john
son: Finance, Bier, Arnold and Tweedt
ordnance, Tweedt, Egbert and Gil
crest; street and alley, Gilcrest, Bier
and Haas; light and water, Haas,
Hayden and Egbert; public improve
ment, Arnold, Hayden and Tweedt;
fire and fire limits, Hayden, Haas and
Bier; printing, Egbert, Tweedt and
Gilcrest.
After taking his seat Mayor john
son addressed the council briefly, say
ing that he trusted that the relations
OF the men to whom the affairs of the
city had been entrusted would be
pleasant and their deliberations har-
monious thruout the year. He compli-
mented the retiring mayor and coun-
Gil upon their faithfulness and con-
scientious efforts to manage the city's
business economically and efficiently
He said he realized the responsible
ties he was undertaking in attempt
ing to live up to the standard for hard
work and close application to official
duties that had been set by Mayor
Richardson. He urged economy but
warned the council against a course
whereby economy might become det-
rlmental to the best interests Of the
cifv
