New York. Nov. 24.-"Madame

in New York at the Criterion the

adeptness i'm the leading-up and
building-up Of the climax.
Whatever the fate OF Madame
sand may be il is a triumph for
Mrs. tiske, jr. In the second act
OF Philip Moeller's new play she
smoked "A cigar,-trst In the Vene-
tian dusk OF Madame Sands and
Alfred de Musset's apartment and
then under the soft searching Eight
of candles. IL was a big, black Ha-
vana, and she pulled IL slowly, as a
man would taste a Well-navOred
Panetella. and IL was romantic.
If any other actress should at
tempt such "A feat the spectators
would leave the theater in dismay.
But the ease and assurance and sin
certify of Mrs FisSe made her en-
ioyment Of that cigar the most nat
Iral thing in the play. of course.
;he wore trousers, which helped the
picture by making her seem mascu-
line; but her ponchalant artistry
helped the apparently impossible
feat even more than her mannish
costume.
The play runs 10 seed i'm a series
OF laisons which populate the
heroine's fertile heart with forever

tested by the melancholy wooers
who somehow have the idea that
this feminine heart in particular is
"A metropolis, a city of the dead

most say IL carries a personality

BANK DEPOSITS SHOW
SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE
Recent Statements Show More Than
$175,000 in Excess of Last
Years Deposits

The result of fair crops and good
prices is shown in the last statements
of Kenncwick's two banking institu-
tions. While the number of deposit
ors has increased little, if any, there
is now on deposit in the two banks
$175,718.23 more than there was at
this time last year.
Last year at this time the First Ma
tional had on deposit $273, ,022.10 and
the American Security had not yet
started in business. Statements pub
lished last week show the First Ma
tional with deposits Of 1915, ,633.67 and
the American Security with $73, ,874.98.
While the bank deposits always
climb up in the fall months this is not
considered the high tide season for
local finances. The bank statements
show no returns from the apple crop
and little from the hay crop, two of
the biggest sources of revenue for the
farmers. Much Of the wheat is still
in the hands Of the farmers and final
have not yet been made by
the two growers selling agencies on
pears and late peach shipments.

SCHOOL FAIR TO
OPEN TOMORROW
Exhibits will be Staged in the
Commercial Club Room and
in the Eakin Building

The Seventh Annual fair of the
Kennewick schools will open Friday
noon and will continue until Saturday
evening. While not enough of the ex-
hibits are now in place to compare
this years fair with last, there is but
little doubt but that this years show
ing will be fully up to the high stand
ard which has been maintained thruout
the seven years.
Each year every department of both
high and grade schools is represented
in, some way and this year new inter-
est has been instilled by the introduce
tion of class rivalry. The exhibits are
to be staged by grades in special
booths with three large pennants to be
awarded the winners.
The fair, altho exclusively for the
exhibition of the work and products of
the school children, is becoming more
and more community affair and for
the last two years has had the finan-
cial backing of the Commercial club.
The domestic science and art exhibits
are staged in the Commercial club
rooms and the manual training, ag-
riculture and livestock in the Eakin
building across the street.

many payments to be made and urges
all signers of pledge cards to make
their final payments as soon as pos
sible. He has received orders to close
up his accounts and MAKE his final re-
port on October1. While collections
might be hurried up some by sending
out notices to each subscriber, the To-
cal committee dis not authorized to
make such an expendituresnor should
such an expenditure be necessary.
On the strength Of the success Of
the June drive the war council of the
Red Cross has poured vast sums Of
money int oFrance to alleviate the
sufferings Of that stricken county and
to provide for the proper care Of our
troops who will soon be actively en-
gagged on the great western battle
front. Every cent that has been
pledged will be used to meet i'm
mediate needs and every subscriber
should feel honor bound to see to it

FRUIT GOES TO
BOYS AT THE FORT
Apples and Peaches are Shipped
to Battery B1More will be
Right Welcome

If everything goes well the boys Of
Battery B will have apple sass for
dinner tomorrow. Thru the joint eff
forts of the Commercial club and the
Pacific Fruit & Produce Co., eight
boxes of apples were shipped to Fort
Walla Walla today and more will fol-
low and earlier in the week five boxes
of peaches were shipped by the Ep-
worth League of the Methodist church.
The question of supplying the boys
with fresh fruit as long as they are in
Walla Walla was brought up at Com
mercial club luncheon yesterday. I'm
mediately Manager C. C. Lemon, Of
the Pacific Fruit & Produce company,
offered the culls from their packing ta-
bles, all of which are good apples for
cooking purposes, but not marketable.
A fund was raised to pay the freight
charges and E. w. Trenbath and o. G.
Gleichman placed in charge Of the
shipping. 3 ~
The Epworth League, thru Archie
Copeland, has volunteered to take
charge Of any fruit that may be do
mated by the farmers and see that it
is taken to the express or freight Of
fices and shipped to the artillerymen.
All farmers who wish to make dona-
tions of this kind are asked to bring
their fruit to Mr.. Copeland at the CO.
lumbia Clothing company, and he will
do the rest. Apples need not be boxed
but may be shipped in sacks.

GOOD TALENT IS
COMING THIS YEAR
High School Lecture Course will
be Better This Year Than
Ever Before

In answer to the demand of the Ken
newick people for high class enter.
tainment, the committee in charge OF
the high school lyceum course has
booked the most expensive course ir
the history of the local lyceum. The
experience of former years has taught
the committee that only the better at
fractions will make good with Ken
newick audience and that it is useless
to book the so-called small-town at
fractions. ~
This fact, while speaking we'll fol
the amusement taste Of the community
has multiplied the difficulties of the
committee because theslind of -attrac-
tions demanded are as a rule far be.
yond the community's pocketbook. This
year, however, the COMMITTEES, by elm
mating the expense Of the bureaus
sending representative here to sell
the season tickets and by increasing
their individual financial risks, have
signed up for a course the cost of
which is several hundred dollars in
excess Of the bureaus usual small
town course. Some of the numbers are
the best offered by the Redpath Bu-
reau, numbers Of which, as rule, are
sent only to the larger cities.
The course consists of five Redpath
attractions and one lecture, probably
DR.. Suzzalo, president Of the state un-
iversity. Season tickets for the six
numbers will sell for $3.50 as last year
while single admissions will be so and
rs cents. AS in former years a spec
ial students ticket will be sold at half
the regular price. The time for the
advance sale of tickets is short and
those who wish seaon tickets will con-
fer favor upon the committee if in
stead of waiting to be solicited they
will reserve their tickets by telephon-
ing Superintendent M. S. Lewis or A.
r. Gardner.
The course will open next Thursday
evening, October a, with Miss Elsie
Baker, contralto, and company. Miss
Baker is widely known thruout Ameri-
ca, not only for her concert work but
she is a favorite in thousands of Amer
lean homes because Of the large num-
Der of records she has made for the
Victor Talking Machine company. Miss
Baker has a rarely beautiful contralto
voice with a rich, sympathetic quality
which touches the human heartstrings
as few voices can do. She has become
famous because of such Victor records
as Angels Serenade, Annie Laurie,
Ben Bolt, Call Me Back Again, Dearie,
Love You California, I Love You
Truly, Long Long Ago, Loves Old
Sweet Song, Messiah, My Old Ken
lucky Home, Silent Night, Silver
Threads Among the Gold, One Sweet
Iy Solemn Thought, Home Sweet
Home, and scores of others.
Miss Baker is accompanied by VIM.

BENTON SCHOOLS
ARE FIRST AT
THE STATE FAIR
First Prize is Awarded Children
of This County for Display
of Industrial Work
YAKIMA COUNTY is SECOND
Kennewick Children Contributed Most
of Agriculture and All Sewing
and Art Work

With score of 81 out of possible
hundred, or lead of 10 points over
its nearest competitor, Benton county
won first prize at the state fair for the
best display of industrial work by
school children. Yakima county scored
second, Thurston third and Douglas
fourth and three Of the seven compet-
ing counties did not place.
Each display was scored on the ba-
sis Of 25 points each for cooking and
canning; sewing; agriculture and ar
rangement.
In the exhibit the Kennewick school
children contributed part of the can
ming work, the greater part of the ag-
riculture, and all Of the sewing and
fancy work, thus making possible the
winning of first place by this county.
Ten ears Of corn We're secured by
County Club Leader F. L. Audrian
from the Prosser schools, a Jar Of
children from Finley setaoinomC Coun-
wax beans from Hover, while the
children of Finley sent contribution
representing their summers efforts.
Canning clubs from all over the coun-
ty were represented in the exhibit.
Art work done by the various grade
children of the local schools was col
lected by Miss Shier and added much
to the attractiveness of the Benton
county booth.
Miss Beatrice Watson, county cham
pion in the cooking contests, took third
place against % competitors. This
in view of the fact that the rules were
not sent to her in advance by the coun-
ty club leader, is high evidence of her
skill and her ability to rise to an
emergency. Her grade was 80 as
compared to 90 for the winner.
In the sewing work, while the Ken
newick school representative did not
secure a place in the first three rat
ings, two of the local girls, Gladys
Motter and Avis Philson, took first
and second respectively for the best
dress exhibited. In view Of the num-
ber of such entries at the fair these
winnings may be regarded as testi-
mony of the thoroness Of the work
done in the domestic science depart
ment.
Regarding the sewing contests as
whole, those in charge at North Yald-
ma said that it was remarkable that
the twenty-odd contestants performed
very much better work on the gar
ments they made at the fair than had
been done by the adults on the gar
ments which had been handed these
young ladies as models from which to
work.
Kennewick's representatives in the
stock judging contest and in manual
training did not receive ratings among
the winners. The canning club team
from Kiona-Benton City was tenth,
first place going to Douglas county.
Individual winners of prizes among
children of the county are as follows:
Elmer Martin, first field pumpkins;
Russell Lawson, first pie pumpkins;
Milton Schultz, first mangelwurzels;
Gladys Motter, best dress; Avis Phil
son, second dress; William Starkey,
Prosser, first ten ears of corn; Keeth
Cantwell, Hover, first wax beans.

BATTERIES
B AND c NOT
TO DISBAND
Report that Two Units of Field
Artillery Were to be Killed
Was Only a RumOr
BATTALION IS RECOGNIZED
Boys from this County are Making
Wonderful Progress Says Ad-
jutant General Thompson

The report, published in some of
the Spokane daily papers to the effect
that Batteries B and C, of the First
Washington Field Artillery now sta
toned at Fort Walla Walla were to
be disbanded and the members mus
tered into federal service as individ-
uals, was branded as only rumor by
Lieutenant F. R. Jeffrey, of Battery
B, who was in the city yesterday.
Lieut.. Jeffrey said there had been
some question as to the status of Bat
teries B and G because en- August 4
when all national guard units were or
dered into federal service by the pres
ident these two batteries were not in
existence, Battery A having been or
ganized short time before. All doubt
as to the status of the two later bat
teries, he said, had been dispelled on
Wednesday evening when official re-
cognition had been given the entire
battalion by the war department. Fed
.eral examination of the men had been
started before Lieut.. Jeffrey had left
Walla Walla and he thought the bat
TALON would be mustered into federal
service probably Sunday or Monday
of next week.
Altho it is not known how long the
battalion will be. stationed at Walla
Walla it is thought their stay there
will be brief, probably not more than,
a week or ten days. It seems prob
able that they will be ordered to Camp
Green in North Carolina to complete
their training before going to France,
Lieut.. Jeffrey was a guest at the.
noon luncheon of the Commercial club
on whose records he is still carried as
president. In brief talk he told of
the splendid progress the battalion is
making, especially the boys of Battery
B, in which are enrolled all the Benton
county boys. He said that every fell
low was showing a determination to
master the drill and that the trans
formation from civilian to soldier was
remarkably rapid. He said the boys
are well quartered and well fed, but
heartily endorsed the plan of sending
them fresh fruit and vegetables, which
are not included in the regular army
rations.
What Lieut.. Jeffrey said of the pro-
gress of the battalion is substantiated
by an interview from Adjutant Gener-
al Maurice Thompson published in yes
terday's Walla Walla papers. The
adjutant general dropped in unan-
nounced at the fort. He told the news
paper reporters that he had expected
to find an awkward bunch of raw re-
cruits and could hardly believe that
the boys he saw drilling there had
come from the farm, the Office and the
store but few weeks ago. He in
spected the barracks and was equally
surprised at the evidences of military
0isclpline everywhere.
Lieut.. Jeffrey was the guest yester-
day evening at the home of DR.. and
Mrs. F. M. Crosby, where number of
ms friends gathered to bid him good
Dye. He left on Train No. Al for
North Yakima where he will visit his
parents today and return to Walla
Walla tonight.

SAVE YOUR WHITE
PAPER FOR THE
DAY NURSERY

One of the big things the boys
and girls can do this summer to
help, is to save all your waste pa
per for the Day Nursery. The Boy
Scouts will collect it once month,
and by selling it the Day Nursery
will probably make enough to pay
almost all its expenses, and thus
help many women and children Of
this city.
Many boys and girls do not real
ize how great benefit this is to
the city, and how much more i'm
portant it will be after the nation
al army is made up and more wom-
en- will be called upon to take the
mems places during the day. Then
the day nursery for the children,
where they can play all day long,
and have their dinner prepared for
them, with no restraint upon their
mothers, will be more needed than
ever, and all the help which the
public gives this institution, will be
put to the best use.
The children who stay there, pay
five cents a day, but OF course this
only pays for part of their expense,
and the other is raised by the wom-
en- OF the Domestic Science Associa-
ton. And 30 all the paper which
you can save will greatly help.

Notes of Interest to Junior
Palladium Readers

The annual music festival for
1917, which was given this week by
the Richmond public schools will
no doubt encourage boys and girls
to study music more than ever be-
fore. The school orchestra work
is not given in the regular hours OF
school. but is classed as extra
work, so you see the pupils have
given up their time to it outside OF
regular school work. Beginners in
orchestra work can enter Garfield
orchestra next fall if they can play
an instrument and take regular les
sons from an instructor Why not
take advantage OF this wonderful
orchestra and begin taking lessons
this summer?
I'VE had the biggest crowd OF
all at our Festival" said little Mar
jOrie, "and it's all because we had
the cutest program you ever
heard"
Prot. Ralph C. Sloane, supervisor
of music OF the Richmond public
schools, has been seriously i'll and
was unable to attend the Festival
concerts. His little musical friends
did their very best as token of
their appreciation and hope that he
will soon recover and be with them
again.
Uncle Major says: after all my
advice about learning the patriotic
songs, there are still many people
who can't sing America without
casting shy glances at a printed
copy of it. Begin right now to
learn America and then add "Star
Spangled Banner to your list, or
repertoire as Aunt Minor would
call it,
"Such grand musical programs
as given by the High School and
Garfield School orchestra and Choir
us should have been heard by a
greater number OF Richmond peo-
ple," said Aunt Minor.
Let's have some more of the
musical stunts" next year.
