ATTALIA is
ENTERTAINING
THIS EVENING
First Get-Together Meeting is
Being Pulled Off in Neighbor-
ing Columbia River Town
Big CROWD in ATTENDANCE
Kennewick Men and Women Guests
At Chicken Dinner and Dance to
Dedicate New Ferry

For the first time ever the commun-
tiles of Kennewick and Alfalfa are this
evening getting their feet under the
same table and getting acquainted
with each other. Altho the interests
Of the two towns have been generally
the same, altho many of the Alfalfa
people are frequent visitors in Kenne-
wick and altho several of the Alfalfa
people hold membership in local fra
ternal societies, the two communities
have been strangers so far as commun-
ity life is concerned.
This condition has existed because
the Columbia river has proved rather
difficult barrier-a barrier, however,
that has now been overcome by the
new Kennewick- Willard ferry which is
in operation just below the North
Coast bridge.
This evening nearly a score of au-
tomobiles, carrying about rs Kenne-
wick men and women, left for the
neighboring city across the Columbia
where those good people will be hosts
at chicken dinner and dance.
An insight into Attalia's hospitality
can be gained from the following,
which appeared in last weeks Alfalfa

Alfalfa will have as guests most OF
the business men of Kennewick, who
