MEETING OF AUTO MEN -
r1. CALLED FOR THURSDAY
Effort will be Made to Revive and
Reorganize Old Kennewick
.-,t sh3 Auto Club z,- t..E.

A meeting of all automobile owners
of Kennewick and surrounding coun-
try is called for Thursday afternoon
at A o'clock in the Commercial club
rooms. The purpose of the meeting
is to revive and reorganize the old
Kc1newick Auto club. -.
At recent meeting of the CONNER
cial club it was suggested that the Au-
to club be brought into the CONNER
cial club as an auxiliary. This plan
will be discussed at Thursdays meet
ing. If the suggestion is not followed
the automobile men will probably re-
vive their organization and become
active workers with the Commercial
club for good roads. It is proposed
to reduce the annual dues of the Auto
club from $500 to $1.00.

PASSION PLAY PICTURES
SHOWN AT HIGH SCHOOL
Scenes of 0berammergau's Great Re-
ligious Spectacle are
Interesting

The lecture and pictures Of the Pas
sion Play given at the high school
last Monday evening were fairly well
attended in spite of the inclement
weather, and proved entertaining and
instructive. The lacture made clear
the origin of the so-called Passion
Play" the purpose of its production
once every ten years, and the lives
and characters of the people giving it.
The pictures were official photographs
of the play itself, colored by hand, and
gave splendid idea of the beauty and
impressiveness of oberammergau's
great religious spectacle.
The high school realized something
over nine dollars from bringing the
lecture and pictures here, the greater
part of which is applied to meet the
expenses of the banquet given the
members of the basketball teams sew
eral weeks ago, the major portion Of
that expense having already been paid
by the coaches Of the teams.
Debate Friday
Next Friday evening the Benton
Franklin county league debating team
composed of Stanley Randolph, Nor
man Lynch and Burdette Hoadley,
will debate at Pasco. They have the
negative side Of the question, @Re-
solved that capital and labor should
be compelled to settle their disputes
in legally established courts Of arbi-
tration, constitutionally granted" J"

TO GET WORK
ON STATE ROAD
STARTED SOON
Chairman of Commercial Club
Wishes to Speed up High
way Department
S23 3,59S HAS BEEN GRANTED
Richland- Benton City Job TO be Start
ed as Soon as Possible says
the Commissioner

Thru the efforts Of Representative
Gordon C. Moores the state highway
bill enacted by the legislature carried
an appropriation Of s23,59s for ex-
penditure on the state road between
Richland and Benton City. The ap-
preparation carried in the original
highway budget was $4,000, but il,
along with nearly all other items, was
slightly reduced to bring the total
within the funds that will be avail
able during the present biennium.
1t is thought this amount will be
sufficient to finish surfacing the road
but the vital question is whether the
work is to be done before the road
becomes impossible as it was during
the summer months last year. Chair
man e. w. Trenbath Of the good roads
committee Of the Commercial club has
already taken steps to hasten, if pos
sible, the beginning of work on the
road. q
In letter from James Allen, state
highway commissioner, Mr.. Trenbath
has been advised that the highway
board has not yet passed on the bud
get and planned what work is. to be
done this year and what next year.
He assures Mr.. Trenbath, however,
that work will begin on the Richland-
Benton City job as soon as possible.
@fIn urging early construction Mr..
Trenbath points, out that failure to.
finish this road, before the dry sum-
mer season will have very deterrent
effect on tourist travel across the
state and will be responsible for turn
ing not little travel down thru Ore
gon or across Washington via the
Sunset highway. Then, too, If the
grade is left unsurfaced during anoth-
er summer not little of the money
already expended will have been
wasted.
When this work is completed there
will be very fair road the entire dis
tance across Benton County.

ASSOCIATION TO
RETAIN AGENCY
Trustees Vote Unanimously to
Continue to Market their
Own Tonnage

]. j. Rudkin attended a meeting of
the board Of trustees in North Yaki-
ma Friday which was called for the
purpose of considering marketing
propositions submitted by White Bros.
& Crum and the Earl Fruit company.
Both propositions were turned down
by a unanimous vote of the board.
The association recently severed it's
connection with the North Pacific
Fruit Distributors thru which it has
marketed its tonnage the last -four
years. Recently Sales Manager C. w,
McCullagh resigned to accept q posi-
tion at Hood River. This brought; the
association face to face with the pro-
position of whether they should main
tain their sales department and seek
new connections in the markets or to
contract with some sales agency.
After the board had unanimously
agreed to continue its sales depart
ment, p. F. Clark was elected to sue
ceed Mr.. McCullagh, who leaves April
Is. Mr.. Clark has been with, the as
sociation since 1914 in the position of
assistant sales manager and is thoroly
conversant with the business policies
Of the association. He will immediate
ly begin to make plans for marketing
this years crop.
"The. results of the past year have
been very satisfactory and the meet
ing Friday was marked with har-
mony and enthusiasm" said Mr.. Rud-
kin, commenting on the results OBJ
tained. "While we had two splendid
offers for marketing our tonnage, the
trustees took the position that the as
sociation should continue its indepen.
dent position and retain its sales de-
partment, building up its own machin-
cry. The decision was unanimous.
"The outlook for the coming season
is good. Our contracts are being sign.
ed freely, and we can safely say that
our tonnage will be materially in.
creased for the coming season. We
are putting out. the recordable con.
tract and find little or no objection te
the proposition. All the districts have
accepted the centralized plan, and oul
organization is in better shape today
than in any other time in its history
With normal crop conditions oul
tonnage in this district will be double
that of last year."

ANOTHER ROUND in
COURT HOUSE SCRAP
County Intervenes in the Suits
Brought by Nelson Rich
and III, A. Bier

The court house fight had another
sinning in Judge Truax' court in Pros
ser Wednesday and as a result the
controversy is just a little more COM
plicated than ever in that Benton
county is made party to the suit of
Nelson Rich against County Auditor
J. C. Syfford and the case of II. A.
Bier against the commissioners and
the auditor.
The first named case was manda-
mus proceeding brought against the
auditor to compel him to issue war
rant in payment for the court house
site which the old board voted to buy.
The county thru Commissioner Pratt
filed petition in Intervention asking
that the warrant be not issued. The
petition was granted and final action
will now await further hearing.
IL The other case was an action
brought in the name Of Mr.. Bier
againstc.the commissioners and the
auditor to prevent them from carry-
ing out the contract Tor the court
house and asking that such contract
be declared null and void. The county,
thru Commissioner Pratt, also inter-
vened in this case asking that the
plaintiffs contention be upheld. Judge
Truax also granted this petition. M.
M. Moulton, attorney for Mr.. Bier,
also asked in topeni court that the con-
tractors, the Ferro Concrete company
and Architect Gould be made parties
defendant in this case. The court has
not yet taken action on this request.
The mandamus suit already adds to
the long list Of attorneys that have
been brought into the lagal battle.
AS the case now stands the roll call
is as follows: Moulton & Jeffrey and
Judge Gose represent II. A. Bier;
Zent & Powell and E. A. Davis rep
resent two of the old commissioners
and one of the new; Donworth & Todd
assisted by Scott Henderson, represent
two Of the present commissioners;
Linn & Boyle represent Nelson Rich,
Andrew Brown represents Auditor
Syfford, and Prosecuting Attorney G.
w. Fristoe represents somebody. He
may know whom, this paper doesn't.
IF the Ferro Concrete company and
Architect Gould are brought into court
there will probably be at least four
more attorneys added to the list.

LOCAL RFLEMEN
ARE EASY '''PICKIN''
PascO Team Walks Away with
First Shoot with ~ Points
to the Good

Talk about drubbing! Say, those
Pasco riflemen are there with the
Springfelds. In the match here in
the wind last Sunday the fve-man
team from across the river ran up q
score of ~ points to the good Of the
local target-smashers. And all this
week the .alibis have been working
overtime. Nelson had a new gun
with which he was not familiar; so
did Pinck. And Desgranges tries to
pull the same one, too. Cole and
Staley got sand or tears or suthin' in
their eyes, and both forgot to leave
their gun wobblers at home. 81
At any rate, Pipckney was the only
man that topped any of the Pasco
shooters, whose scores, in all that
wind, were up in the nineties. They
are cracking good shots, no doubt
about it, and had it all over the local
team from the first round. That man
Martin ran up fifteen straight bulls
eyes, got a four, two more bulls and
another four for. his share.
The shoot next Sunday will begin
early in the morning. $500, and the
whole membership is urged to come
down to the range and get in few
good scores. The, high men will be
put up against the scores from Manito.
The course will be 200 yards, 40 shots
standing, off-hand, slow and rapid fir
ing. -

RIVER ROAD MEN
BUY FINE ANIMAL
Farmers Purchase Cooperative
ly One of Finest Dairy Sires
in the State

According to County Agricultural
ist Lee NJ. Lampson, one Of the big
gest boosts yet given the dairy in
dustry in this valley was the pur-
chase of registered Holstein bull by
the farmers Of the River Road neigh
borhood. The animal was purchased
rfr6mvthe Davis farm at Granger by
Ole Brue, J. N. Pratt, Harley Peter
and others, and is probably the best
dairy animal ever brought into the
Valley
"Altho, this bull cost each of the
purchasers 800, he is well worth the
price," said Mr.. Lampson. "His fe-
male ancestors have very high pro-
duction records and this is the kind
,of,qecord that counts not just q big
string of names in a pedigree.
"This cooperative purchase not
only enables these men, but all Of
their neighbors who own cows, to
raise their choice calves from every
cow that is worth keeping.
"The heavy investment necessarily
makes the service fee to an animal Of
this class some higher. However, it
is usually not more than $500 or $500
higher than the ordinary service fee.
Most people who have even the slight
est conception of the difference in the
productive value of pool dairy heifer
and good one, do not hfsitate to pay
an extra So or So service fee for the
sake of getting a choice calf. But
strangely enough there are a few who
hesitate to pay the extra fee! Yet
those same few people will go to q
sale or ;neighbor's and rightfully pay
$25 to $50 more for q young cow from
"a good bull, than they will for the COW
from the ordinary or poor bull.
!, "No man can continue to raise heifer
calves that are little or no better than
their dams, whether he has only one
COW or fifty. IF he does continue ia
do so when he can breed his cow to
such community bull as these pro-
gressive farmers put in on the River
Road, he is deliberately refusing to
progress when progress is easily with
in his reach"

and their program of trios and solos

tertainment that the people of Kenne-
wick have heard this winter. 1t is to
be hoped that they may be sent to
Kennewick again.

PRESIDENT ASKS SCHOOLS TOEXPAND
THEIR TEACHING ON NAT IONAL LINES

the common school must have large
part 1 urge that teachers and other
school officers increase materially the
time and attention devoted to instruc.
ton bearing directly on the problems
Of community and national life.
Such plea is in no way foreign to
the spirit Of American public rduca.
lion or Of existing practices. Nor
is it a plea for temporary enlarge
ment of the school program appro-
pirate merely to the period Of the
war. II is a plea Tor Il realization in
public education of the new emphasis
which the war has given to Tho Ideals
OF democracy and to the broader con
ceptions OF national life.
In order that there may be deRrito
material at hand with which the
schools may at once expand their
teaching. have asked Mr.. Hoover ant
Commissioner Claxton to organic th,
proper agencies for the preparation
and distribution OF suitable lesson
Tor the elementary grades and for n,
high school classes. Lessons thus
suggested will serve the double pur
pos" OF Illustrating in a concrete way
what can be undertaken in the schools
md OF stimulating teachers in ~
