WORLD LOOKS BRIGHTER TO
MAN WHO PALS THE COW
Butterfat Now Selling for Forty
Eight and Sweet Cream for
Fifty-Three Cents

With the advance of the price of
butterfat this week to 4S cents and
sweet cream to So cents, the world be-
gins to look some brighter to the
farmer who pals from one to 20 cows
twice day for 365 days a year and
feeds them 4O-dollar mill feed and 15-
dollar alfalfa.
With the unusually high price of
feed local dairymen say the price of
butterfat should jump up another
notch or two to make the credit side
of the cow ledger look as it should.
According to the daily papers just
now there is rather a spirited scrap
on between the city creameries with
those of Seattle and Portland in the
lead on the firing line. The local
price advance, however, is not regard
ed as any market furry but dairy
men believe high prices will continue
because of the condition of the hay
and feed market.

FEW NEW TEACHERS
in LOCAL SCHOOLS
With Three Exceptions all of the
Teaching Staff this Year
Have Taught Here Before

The teaching corps in the local
schools for the coming year will in
clude few teachers not well known to
patrons Of the local schools. Miss
Grace Mitchell will have mathematics
and physics in the high school, taking
the place formerly held by Miss Jen-
ME Pearl, the latter going to the Lew
is and Clark high school of Spokane.
Miss Pearl Shepardson, sister of Miss
Kathryn Shepardson, who teaches in
one of the primary grades, will take
the work formerly taught by Miss
Pinkerton, whose resignation reached
the board few days ago. The posi-
tions vacated by Miss Makens and
Miss Williams will be filled by Miss
Showers and Mrs. Trip, both of whom
were in the local schools for a num-
Der of years prior to the last school
year. The man secured for the work
in manual training, Mr.. Travers, was
drafted recently in Spokane and re-
signed to the local school board. His
place has not yet been filled, tho it is
hoped that it will be by the time school
opens.
Additional work planned for in con-
nection with the commercial course in
the high school will be offered this
year. Second-year classes in stenog-
raphy and typewriting will be organ
lied and work will be given in COM
mercial law and economics. These
complete the organization of the full
four-year commercial course. If pos
sible, also, it is planned to offer under
the direction Of Miss Shier a years
course in voice culture, the class meet
ing regularly for forty-five minutes
each day.
The district finances will be affect
ed by the new high school law passed
by the last session of the legislature,
providing for the reimbursement of
high school districts for the attend
ance of pupils from non-high school
districts. Under an Interpretation of
the state department of education high
school districts are entitled to reim-
bursement for such attendance for the
1916-1917 school year, thus giving
this district approximately eight hun
dred dollars for the attendance of
nonresident pupils during the last
year.

COUNTY HAS NOT
CALLED FIRST MEN
Local Board Has Not Yet Select.
ed the Four who will
Go First

1t is not yet known who of Benton
county's drafted men will be the first
called into service. According to the
latest plans of the war department.
this county is to send four men, OF
five per cent of the quota, to the mo-
bilization camp on September a. Up
until noon today the local board had
not selected these four men, Secretary
Syford saying that the local board was
awaiting certified returns from the
district board. Mr.. Syfford says that
several men have requested to be call
ed as soon as possible and the four will
probably be chosen from among this
number. W
Sheriff C. E. Duffy, chairman of the
local board, says ninety men have been
certified for service, and in all prob
ability another call will not have to
be made for this first draft. 1t is not
known yet how many of the ninety
will be granted exemptions by the dis
trict board but the percentage cf
claims allowed will hardly be large
enough to make another call neces.
sary. In fact Mr.. Duffy believes that
most of the dependency rulings Of the
board will be sustained by the district
board as considerable leniency was
shown in allowing these claims. No
married men with children were held
for service and in cases where there
were no children exemption was given
if the wife was physically unable to
support herself.
The district board is in session here
again this week and is gradually wad-
ing thru the hundreds of claims that
have been filed with it. Up until noon
today the board had considered %
Benton county claims.
Exemptions were granted in three
cases, temporary exemption until af-
ter harvest in five, exemption was de-
MED in thirteen and one case was re-
ferred to the local board for addition
al information. The following Ben
ton county cases were disposed of this
week:
Exemptions allowed = Earl p.
Knaube, Henry O. Hartung.
Exemptions to October 1-Roylston
M. Spaulding, Edward II. Dunning,
Douglas F. Keene, Ernest Sestrand.
Exemptions denied - Herbert j.

man, j. R. Austin, H. A. Besse, Glenn

BENEFIT DANCE
FOR BATTERY B
Knights of Pythias to Start a
Mess Fund for Benton Unit
of Field Artillery

A movement has been started in
different parts of the county to pro-
vide mess fund for the boys Of Bat
terry B. of the Washington field ar
tillery which is now training in Walla
Walla. This battery when it is mus
tered into federal service will be COM
posed largely of Benton county boys
and because it was recruited thru the
efforts of Lieut.. F. r. Jeffrey it will
be, until the end of the war regarded
as Benton county organization.
While this county already has many
more boys in the service and will have
many more as the drafted men are
called there will not be any consider
able number of them in any one
branch of the service or at least in
any one military unit. So that it will
be impossible to provide extras for
their mess except as individuals.
AS a starter toward Kenncwick's s
share of the mess fund the Knights of
Pythias will give a Battery B benefit
dance in their hall next Monday night,
Labor Day. The entire net proceeds
of the evening will be turned into the
fund as the lodges contribution. The
dance will be public and everybody is
cordially invited. At a meeting of
the lodge Monday evening the lodge
appointed A. R Gard1er, Geo. E.
Tweedt and DR.. B. L. Cole as COM
mittee to take charge of the dance
arrangements.
There are three members of the To-
cal K. Of p. lodge enrolled in Battery
B., Lieut.. Jeffrey, Ed. Mann and Fred
Berg. Other members Of the lodge
who are with the colors are, Frank
Driscoll, who is somewhere on the
other side of the Atlantic with the en-
gineers. P. L. Mooney, who will go
to France with the Rainbow" division
and Frank Morain who has enlisted
in the navy. By recent vote Of the
lodge the dues Of all these men will
be paid out of the lodge fund as long
as they are in the service and an effort
will be made to keep in touch with
them and keep them supplied with
some of the comforts which do not
come in the regular routine of army
life.
No news of any Importance has been
received this week from the boys of
Battery B and nobody yet knows how
soon they are to be ordered to one of
the army mobilization camps. Sew
eral of the boys spent Sunday here
and took three or four recruits back
with them.

EIGHTY CARS
OF FRUIT GO
OUT THIS WEEK
Five Kennewick Shipping Firms
Are Sending Out Heavy
@- Tonnage
ELBERTA HARVEST is BEGUN
Market Opens at Fifty Cents a Box
and Buyers Look for Contin-
ued Steady Demand

With Elberta peaches coming un-
tremendously into market right on
top of Bartlett pears is causing grow
ers and shippers some tall hustling to
keep ahead Of the ripening fruit. As
yet there is no acute labor shortage
either in the orchards or packing sheds
and prices are good, orders are plen-
tiful and everybody is happy.
This week will without doubt break
all previous fruit shipping records in
the history of Kennewick. Estimates
furnished the Courier-Reporter yes
terday by the five shipping houses fix
the weeks tonnage at 83 carloads as
follows: Pacific Fruit g. Produce Co.,
25 cars; Kennewick District Fruit
growers, 1S; H. H. Davis company, 18
cars; Spokane Fruitgrowers, is cars;
Lynch-Pennigton Co., cars. While
there will be many straight cars Of
peaches and pears the bulk of the ton
mage will go out in mixed car lots for
which there is an unusually good de-
mand this year.
The Elberta season started this
week at cash price Of so cents box
and dealers are of the opinion that the
market will continue strong thruout
the season. The Elbertas are running
slightly smaller than usual, but the
crop is more nearly up to standard as
to size than were any Of the earlier
varieties. So far they are averaging
about 20 to the box.
The pear market is off some and the
top price Of the cash buyers today is
only $50 ton. With part Of the crop
sold at $40 the seasons average will
be close to s35. This week will prac-
ticaly clean up the Bartletts.
The Spokane Fruitgrowers are this
week shipping the first straight car
loads of apples and expect by the end
of the week to have out five cars Of
Rome Beauties. These are to fill an
order booked for the South American
trade. A similar order was filed last
year with Jonathans.
j. G. Garden, auditor Of the COM
pany, gave out the following report
this week on the cherries shipped out
of the Kennewick district:
Bings, lob. boxes, $1.34; 20-ib.
loose lugs, $2.77; Black Republicans,
20-fb. lugs, 99c; Black Tartarians, 20
fb. lugs, SLAP; Lamberts, lob. box,
81; 20-fb. lugs, $1.87; Royal AIMS, 10
ib. box, 81 cents; 20-ib. lugs $1.54.
Cherries were shipped as far east
as New York and Philadelphia. The
record car Of cherries for the north
west was sold by the company in the
Quaker city for $4,000. Shipment Of
the fruit in 20-ib. lugs means more
money for the grower as the fruit is
loosely placed in the box, decreasing
handling cost considerably.
Altho the unassuming little Italian
prune does not figure largely in the
valleys fruit tonnage just now it is
cutting some ice as money-getter.
Buyers are having difficulty in round
ing up enough prunes to fill their or
ders and are paying 65 cents per IT.

trees in nearly every orchard there is

Mrs. Lane X. Larsen, Of the High

growers of oriental poppies in this
valley. To stimulate interest in the
culture of this strikingly beautiful
flower she has placed packages of the
seed on sale at Haas bakery, proceeds
from which she is donating to the Red
Cross. The seed is from threc-year-
old plants, some of the flowers of
which were ten inches in diameter
this season, and sells for Zoe per pack
age. The seed should be planted now
in moist soil and the poppies trans
planted later this fall.
