ONE TY COBB HAS
NOTHING ON DUTCH
One Healthy Swat at Ball May
Bring Railroader into Fame
and Fortune

Notwithstanding the fact that Ty
Cobb, Hans Wagner and other major
league celebrities have batted them
selves into fortunes, it is no cinch that
any of them has anything on "Dutch''
Seamon, of Pasco, who played right
field for Kennewick in Sundays game.
The big railroader may find himself
some day reveling in wealth because
he landed squarely on the snout of one
ball. Who knows?
This is how it all happened. At the
beginning of the baseball season, F.
L. Runions, financial agent of the Yak
ina Natural Gas & Oil company, Of
fered 100 shares of stock in his COM
pany to the first Kennewick player
to score home run. Sunday, in the
last half of the ninth inning, with two
out and two strikes on him, big
Dutch's bat connected with a swift
one that landed away out in the whis-
kers of the canal bank. He won the
game and had his name inscribed on
the stock register of the oil company.
Mr.. Runions is willing to gamble that
time will prove that this is the highest
price ever paid for one good healthy
swat at baseball and that Tyrus, Jo-
hannus ct. al will have to doff their
derbies to one Dutch Seamon.
1t was some game, that mixup be-
tween the local lads and the Walla
Walla butchers Sunday afternoon and
the result gave Kennewick eight vic
tories straight. From the fifth. to the
ninth inning the score stood one to
one with no odds in the battle be-
tween pitchers Morain and Harris. In
the last half of the ninth the big Pas
coan came to bat, famed the air
twice and then landed. Then there
was nothing left but the shouting.
Harris, who did the twirling for
the Cow SINNERS from the Penal City
was by some odds the best pitcher
that has faced the local boys this year
but at that he allowed four hits to Mo-
rains two.
Next Sunday Kennewick will meet
Finley at the other end Of the oiled
road and the Sunday following they
will play Touchet on their home
home grounds. A return game with
the Butchers in Walla Walla has been
promised but is not yet dated.
Altho the boys are playing in fine
form, local fans seem to be loafing on
the job. AS a result the team is not
now fearing a defeat nearly as much
as deficit and for the purpose of fat
tening up the bank account somewhat
a benefit dance is to be given in the
K. of P. hall Friday evening Of this
week. Everybody is eligible and dol
lars will be warmly welcomed by Boss
Phelps.

NO FEE FOR TESTING COWS
Farmer May Have His Herd Tested
Without One Cents Expense

J. R. Ayers, August Huss and other
dalrymen are bending their efforts
toward the end of having every dairy
cow In the lower valley submitted to
the tuberculosis test. Working in con-
junction with County Agriculturalist
L. M. Lampson the dairymen have a
large percentage of the cows already
signed up for the test and by the time
Prof. Donahue makes his next visit
to this county they hope to have every
cow listed.
Mr.. Ayers says some of the farmers
have had the mistaken idea that they
must pay for having the test applied
to their cows. The state bears the en-
tire expense. The farmer doesn't pay
a cent.

tn CELEBRATE
CLOSE OF THE
BERRY SEASON
Rousing Meetings of Strawberry
Growers to be Held in Rich
land and Kennewick
.TODISCUSS NEXT YEAR'SPLANS
Directors Think Now is Time to Lay
Foundation for Making Mark
# eting Union Permanent

In Richland Saturday, June "a and
n Kennewick one week later, July 1,
the strawberry growers will assemble
for the purpose of placing their
stamp of approval upon this years
cooperative marketing effort. So far
as is Known there is not a grower in
either the Richland or Kennewick dis
trict who is not more than gratified
with the results that have been OBJ
tained this season thru the Kennewick-
Richland Marketing Union.
Undoubtedly sentiment is strongly
in favor of making the marketing un-
ion permanent organization and at
these two meetings plans for crystal
izing this sentiment into definite ac-
tion will be discussed. Combined with
the business features of the two gath
erings will be certain celebration ideas
worked out by the directors in their
respective districts. The object is to
make each rousing ratification meet
ing and at the same time lay the
foundation for next years marketing.
As it is dsired to have every, grower
present the board Of directors deemed
it advisable to hold the two meetings
rather than one.
It is the intention of both General
Manager Parks and Sales Manager
Blot to be present and to offer sug-
gestions for making the service still
more efficient another year, and to
give out the figures on the sale Of this
years crop.
Altho receipts have been falling off
rapidly during the week and carload
shipments are thing of the past the
berries continue to come in but by the
end Of the week picking will have been
discontinued in all parts of the valley.
Not only are the berries holding out
much better than had been expected
but the price is holding up in a sur
prising manner. Extra fancies are
still being quoted out at $500 to 1925
and the seasons average will be well
above the $500 level.
Owing to extremely unfavorable
weather conditions at the beginning
Of the season the original estimate OF
$4,000 crates will not be reached, but
the crop has already passed the 10000
crate estimate made few weeks ago.
Sales Manager Blot left the first OF
the week for Spokane, but Manager
Parks expects to remain on the job
until all accounts are settled and the
entire busines: is wound up.

GERMAN FOOD SUPPLY
 IS DECLARED SUFFICIENT

BERLIN-Count Westarp, of the Relchstag committee which has been Investigating food conditions has re- ported that the existing supply IS sui. ficlent to feed Germany's population, no matter how long war lasts. By efficient measures the government has succeeded in keeping down the prices of necessities. and retrenchment by the people have brought the consump- tion below that of both enemy and neutral countries" says Count Vest arp.
 The committee expresses absolute certainty that Germanys population is assured of food during the entire length of the war. It also says Ger many's economic strength is unbrok- en and that there will be no occasion to end the conflict for economic req sons. Victory is assured by the strength of our domestic situation no less than by our military strength" ]" says the committee in conclusion.

"There are two donts for men. Don't wear shoes with run down heels. and keep your hands out of your pockets when walking on icy side walks.
 AS for women? I'll say that high heels are the cause of nine out of ten falls for women. Wait minute. Rae. come here.
 Miss Rae Hoffman, his daughter and secretary, came into the office. The coroner looked at her shoes-and he sighed. What he saw was a pair of high French heels.
 q guess I'd better start right at home with my safety first campaign. Those heels are dangerous. Don't you ever fall down with those heels on?' he asked his daughter.
 q never do," but Miss Hoffman "knocked wood" on her fathers desk.
 High heels and muffs are joint causes of falls for women" the cor oner said. "A woman should keep her hands and arms free so she could catch" herself when she starts to fall.
 "There Is no particular rule for walk ing if a person wears proper shoes and keeps his or her hands and arms free. Just watch your step."

ASK CLOSED SEASON
 FOR HALleUT BANKS
 IN NORTHERN WATERS

At the instance of the fishing Yes sel Owners Association. composed of the owners of Seattle's big fleet Of in- dependent halibut schooners. the United States Bureau of Fisheries has began an investigation of the possi- buity of establishing a closed season of two months for hal'but says the Seattle Times. The Fishing Vessel Owners Association recently recon mended a closed season. provided the Canadian government will consent to take the same step.
 The association also asked the fish cries bureaus to set aside the hali- but bank off Tmbered Island, be. tween Moves and Warren Islands on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island. as a nursery for young hali. but. The bank forms one of the chief nurseries for haHbut in Alaskan wa ters. So far nothing but young hali- but, averaging from six to nine pounds has ever been caught on the bank. These are known as chickens" and are not marketable
 The establishing of the closed sea. son and the setting aside of Timbered Island bank as a nursery are requir- ed. according to the association. to save the halibut fishing industry from extinction. Halibut are becoming scarce in the northern banks Little s known of the halibut. but experts hold that it is a fish of slow growth.
 "The Fishing Vessel Owners Asso- ciation," said Capt. John Gibson. man. ager of the organization. pointed out in resolutions recently adopted that hal.but are becoming depleted in the northern banks that have been fished for some time. We began operations years ago off Cape Flattery and now we have got as far northward as Yak utat.. Alaska. The association believes that the only way to protect the in. dustry is to have a closed season dur ing which the halibut may spawn. We have petitioned the Bureau of Fisheries to that effect. It will be necessary. however. for Canada 10 adopt closed season also. The Fish cries Bureau is now Investigating"
 The association recommended that January and December of each year be set aside as the closed season.
 Experts employed by the Canadian government recently completed a study of the halibut and it's habits They found that the halbut carries spawn during December. January. Feb ruary, March. April and May"

The death of one woman pedestrian and injuries of many others from fall ing on ice.covered sidewalks recently caused Coroner Peter c. Hoffman to instigate safety first" campaign for pedestr.ans-and he started right at home.
 When the coroner arrived at his of. flee one morning recently he found a notice awaiting him of the death of Mrs. J. Hayden. from injuries receiv- ed when she fell on an icy sidewalk.
 I'm going right to the shoe repair ship" said the coroner with rueful look at the heels of his shoes, well worn down in the back
 See that" and he pointed down at the heels of his shoes. That's the cause Of nine out of every ten falls I'll venture to say. Those heels are worn down SO that there's no grip there. l almost fell down twice this morning. But l had my arms and hands free and caught myself,
