LOCAL RED CROSS
MAKES SHIPMENT
Dozens of Articles and Hospital
Equipment and Knitted Gar
ments are Completed

The Kennewick Branch of the Red
Cross this week forwarded its first
shipment Of supplies to the chapter
headquarters at North Yakima. In

tai equipment and knitted garments,
as follows:
Seven and half dozen sheets, 10
dozen pillow cases, 10 dozen ice and

pajamas, 10 dozen face towels, liz
dozen turkish towels, / dozen wash
cloths, TX dozen handkerchiefs, doz-
en- napkins, dozen pairs Of socks, s
pairs writlets, 8 mufflers, 2 helmets
and a dozen knitted squares. All of
the pillow cases and 5k dozen of the
sheets were made by the ladies of
Richland.
Workers in the local branch are con-
stantly increasing and as soon as the
apple harvest season is over many OF
the country ladies who have not as ye,
had time to take up the work, will dc
so.
Under new rules adopted by the ma.
tional organization, branches have au.
thority to organize auxiliaries. The
ladies of Hover have already asked
that an auxiliary be formed there and
it is probable that one will also bt
organized at Finley.
Orders were received at chapter
headquarters this week to rush with
all possible haste the work on hospita
bandages and surgical dressings. A.
this part of the work can only be don,
under the supervision of an exper
fenced instructor, it has not yet beer
attempted by the local branch.
Next to surgical dressings the mos
urgent need of the army is for knitted
articles. At present, however, no yarl
can be obtained either from the dealer,
or from the supply department Of tn
Red Cross. Word has been receive,
from the Yakima chapter that sup
ply is expected there within a shor
time and then the knitters of the val

WATERUSERS
MAY TAKE OVER
N. P. |. CANAL
Mass Meeting to be Held at VAL
lev Club House Tonight TO q.
Consider Plans
SPEEDY ACTION is NECESSARY
If Farmers are to Have Excess Of Al
lowance Work Must BE
Started Soon

A, meeting, which is perhaps Of
greater Importance to the Kennewick
Valley than any held for many years,
is scheduled for tonight at the Valley
Club house. Waterusers under the N.
p. /. company's gravity canal have
been asked to meet there for the pur-
pose of considering a proposition TO
organize an irrigation district and
take over the company's irrigation sys-
TEN. ~
While there has been some talk Of
such a plan for long time, it is only
within the last few weeks that any
definite steps have been taken toward
that end. The initiative in the matter
has been taken by the Finley Grange,
which at recent meeting appointed
a committee to investigate the irriga-
tion situation. This committee has
conferred with Manager J. J. Rudkin
Of the N. p. ]. company, and it is un-
derstood they have received definite
proposition from the company, which
will be submitted to the waterusers at
tonight's meeting. The committee has
also made an inspection tour of the
canal and will be able to submit
rough estimate of what it will cost to
put the system in shape to meet the
irrigation needs Of the valley.
Should the company's proposition
meet with the approval of a majority
Of the waterusers present tonight, it
is probable that steps will be taken
Immediately for the creation Of an
irrigation district. In this connection
it has been pointed out that If the
canal is to meet next years needs re-
pairs must be started at the earliest
possible date.
The Oranges activity in the matter
is induced by recent communication
from the company in which the water
users Were notified that in order to
furnish water in excess Of the contract
allowance it would be necessary to re-
build and enlarge some Of the fumes
at considerable expense and the COM
pany could not undertake TO furnish
excess water only at cost sufficient
to pay returns on the additional in
vestmen.
In order to furnish many of the
waterusers with water in excess Of
the contract allowance the company
has been forced to overtax the carry
ing capacity of the fumes and it is
now no longer willing to assume this
risk.
There is at all seasons Of the year
a surplus Of water at the headgates
and it is said that by rebuilding some
Of the main fumes and by removing
the silt deposits from the sides Of the
canals and Strengthening the banks in
some places, the system can be made
to carry enough water for much
larger acreage than is now under cul-
tivation.

who are with the COlOrs

The Yakima Valley Chapter Of the
American Red Cross has been request
ed by national headquarters to fur
nish 1000 Christmas packets for our

a special Christmas fund be raised for
the purpose Of providing these pack.
cts and that none of the funds raised
for military relief be used for this pur-
pose. Not only will the local branch
receive contributions to this special
fund, but as one means of raising
funds dance and card party will be
given in the X. of p. hall Wednesday
evening of next week.
AS this will be the first Red Gross
dance given here, the local branch
will attempt to make it one of the
biggest social functions of the year.
The floor will be in charge of some of
the towns young dancing men, the
ladies will have charge of the ticket
sale and it is hoped that a pleasant
evening for the home folks will be
made to bring Christmas cheer to the
many American men who will be far
away from home and loved ones or
Christmas morning.
The Red Cross has undertaken te
provide enough packets so that every
| boy who is with the colors will have
some remembrance from the good ole
~. S. A. on Christmas morning, ever
tho he has no package from friend:
or relatives.

Did you ever stop to TO think how
many peculiar things there were in
politics--ior one peculiarity--count the
county officers OF Taney county who
do not have in their names.
Rev. Geo. A. Shafer came 10 fill
his regular appointment at this place
last Sunday, the first time since he re-
turned from school. While here his
borse got crippled and he was obliged
to stay over day or so.
Several Of the young folks (and
some Of the older ones) gathered at
Jim VOLTS last Sunday hunting eggs
and having a good time in general.
The shower last Wednesday night
and Thursday put the creeks on
boom and stopped farming for while.
Farming had begun in real earnest,
some planting corn, some plowing,
some sowing grass and those that were
left working in the garden.
The measles have broke out new
over west Of this place and those tina
have not had them are staying close

Let the Flag Alone.

The United States Department oil
Justice has found it necessary to
issue this notice: Amy Alien enemy

There is doubtless somewhere a
place in the lines Of war in Europe

may find opportunity Of showing hos

At any minute they were expected to

This then is the plan Of a Worlds

good one TO another; that instead oI
Irej)icing at others misfortune shall
tender relief to them; instead of vast

Livery Stables are Passing.

At a public sale Of livery stables
equipment at Lafayette a few days ago
some fine examples OF the coach build

more than a good automobile costs to-
day, were knocked down at 50 apiece.

$500, was sold Ior so cents and a

HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes--but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dOu-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance Of
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
sOftnesS and luXuriance.
Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that'S
all-yOu surely can have beautiful hair

Getting Around a Difficulty.

Automobile manufacturers of the
United States do not purpose allowing
a serious matter, such as railway traf-
fic congestion, to interfere with their
business, if they can help it. When
the big freight tieup first began to
look formidable, automobile makers
faced a prospective loss running into
many millions of dollars, because, ap-
parently, they could not secure deliv-
cries. Not until then did it occur to
them that, If an automobile was worth
anything at all, it should be able to de-
liver itself. And now what Is known to
the trade as the "drive-away" has been
inaugurated. The cars leave the fac
tory and arrive at their destination
under their own power. A drove OF
62 cars was recently sent from Cleve-
land to Chicago in this way. It Is ex-
pected that the "drive-away" will be-
come fashionable thing during the
coming summer.-Christian Science
