CLUB VOTES TO
JOIN TRAIL ASSN
Commercial Club to Assist Work
Of Yellowstone Organization
consolidation Talked

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Commercial club Tuesday evening
it was voted to take community
membership in the Yellowstone Trail
association at an annual membership
fee of $35. This fee, however, is not
to be paid from the general funds of
the club and the work Of raising the
necessary $35 was turned over to the
publicity committee.
Considerable time was given to dis
cussing the possibility of a consoli-
dation Of the Commercial and the
automobile clubs. 1t was pointed out
that the purposes for which the Auto
mobile club was organized were the
same purposes for which the good
roads committee Of the Commercial
club was created. Members Of the
commercial club who are also mem.
bers of the automobile club suggested
that the latter club might be reor-
ganized as an auxiliary of the Com.
mercial club. Altho the sentiment
seemed to be favorable to such plan
no definite action was taken nor prob
ably will be taken until meeting OF
the Automobile club is called.

GUILD BAZAAR THURSDAY

In the Commercial club rooms next
Thursday afternoon and evening the
ladies of st. Paul's Episcopal Guild
will hold fancy work bazaar and
serve a cafeteria supper. A feature
of the bazaar will be parcel post
sale. Packages for this sale will be
prepared by members and friends of
the Guild and will be sold unopened
for 25 cents each. Neither the pur-
chaser nor the ladies in charge will
know what any package contains and
they will be indeed surprise packages
and well worth the money. The ladies
have been preparing for the bazaar
for some time and will have many at
tractive articles on sale. Supper will
be served from 5 until 2 in the eve
ming.

RIFLE CLUB TO
SHOOT NEXT SUNDAY
Kennewick and PascO Teams to
Hold First Target Contest
on Local Range

The Rifle club is coming over from
Pasco Sunday with their guns and q
big bag O. sil'er, and expect to take
their guns, two bags o. sil'er and the
high score back home with 'em in the
evening. The match will be begun at
1880 Sunday afternoon and the five
high shots on the local range this week
will be pitted against the Pasco sharp
shooters. The regulation marksman
course will be fired, forty shots to
the man.
For the next match shoot with Man.
ito, on the 25th, there will be no team
picked until after the shoot. That is,
the match is open to all members of
the club and the five high scores for
that day will be sent in against the
five high from Manito. This method
opens the match to the whole mem
bership instead of the five picked men
and should therefore make the match
much more interesting.
The following are the scores made
this week up to press time in the
elimination to pick the team to shoot
against Pasco Sunday. The high five,
however, may be displaced, as several
parties of shooters are planning to GO
out tomorrow and Saturday to get
places on the team.

his own position effectively at all
times. The close Of the season found
johnson and Anderson two Of the most
dependable guards in the valley, with
Paul. senior, doing splendid work.
Christensen, at center was one Of the
best seen in this locality this year.
The positions as forwards Were hand
led by McAuley and Odell. On open
field work McAuley easily outplayed
all opponents, while his shifting on
the floor was the means of putting
over many a clever pass which re-
suited in odell dropping the ball thru
the net. Earl Anderson captained the
team and his willingness to work re-
suited in always having surplus of
material out for practice. ...
A second team, which played six
match games was maintained all sea-
son. ss.... .a
The girls team which began as a
,entire new organization, worked very
faithfully, and while not winning a
majority of games played, finished the
season with good record and team
which will be here another year and
should be winner.
An interesting feature connected
with the line up found on both teams
showed an 0dell and a McAuley on
each team, Howard Odell and Seward
McAuley being forwards on the boys
team and Ruth 0dell and Erma Nc
Auley forwards. on the girls team.

events of the Crucifxion Week in the
life of Jesus Christ. It includes in

The Cincinnati Enquirer has the fol
lowing to say regarding these pic
lures and The lecture: "Simple, beau
tiful and fervid, the drama and pas
sion of Christ held the audience in q
Cathedral-like stiffness for over an
hour and a half. Mr.. Weber is SO

high school gymnasium.
! Season is Closed
Last Saturday evening the last bas-
ketball game of the season was played
between Kennewick and Pasco. The
girls were in good form and easily
won by a score of 1S to 2. The Sc.
cond team played Pasco's second team
and lost. We have tried to forget the
score.
The results of the seasons games
; were on the whole, favorable to the
home teams. They are as follows:
Freshmen beat Sophomores; Jun
iors beat Seniors; Juniors beat Fresh
men-giving Junior the rag.
High school team beat town team
and Pasco; lost at Prosser; won from
Prosser; lost at Prosser; won two al

While it was almost complete new

ter their interclass games, realized
that they had material for real team
With a determination to make OF thero

Representatives of Twelve Shipping
Agencies Start Move to Cut
Down Costs

On account Of the unusually high
prices of paper much of the North
VESTS apple crop may go to market

this end was started in North Yakima
yesterday when representatives Of IL
shipping agencies met in conference.
The Yakima Republic quotes Clyde
Mckee, Of the Thompson Fruit COM
pany, who presided at the meeting, as
saying:
sowing to the enormous increase in
cost of paper it becomes necessary for
us to consider more economic way Of
preparing the fruit for market and
suggestions have been made that we
send part of the fruit to market un-
wrapped and we are seeking to get
concerted action Of all the shippers in
this valley and in other valleys Of the
state on this proposition.
"Since Colorado and Idaho both send
large quantities of their fruit to mar
ket without wrapping and we come
into direct competition with them, il
becomes necessary for us to find ways
and means for lessening the cost of
our pack. Itwas suggested today that
all c grade fruit shall be packed with
out paper and that the fancy and ex-
ira fancy stock Of some Of the poorer
grades be sent to market unwrapped.
"The conference today did not set
tie anything, but it set the ball roll
ing and put serious purpose behind
the suggestion. We expect to contin-
ue this agitation and get all the ship
pers here and in other fruit districts
to work with us giving uniformity to
the movement"
Manager C. H. Swigart of the Yali-
ma Valley Fruitgrowers' association
brought word to the conference that
Wenatchee is with them in any move
ment along this line. He met several
Of the Wenatchee shippers at Spokane
and was given assurance that such a
proposition would meet with instant
favor there. 1t is figured that the
Yakima Valley uses about 100 cars of
fruit paper and that half this amount
can be saved if an agreement is reach
ed concerning the wrapping of fruit.
81 figure we can leave the paper Off
the c grade stock and not lose any
thing" said Mr.. Swigart, discussing
the proposition. "We can also send
some Of the poorer commercial grades
to market without wrapping. We
might take about eight Of the standard
commercial varieties and wrap the
fancy and extra fancy grades and
send all the remainder to market with
out paper.
eve can also pack the poorer varie-
ties orchard run and mark the weight
upon the box instead Of the number
of apples. The law makes this pro-
vision. A box packed unwrapped will
hold about 10 per cent more apples
than one packed wrapped and the
buyer can hardly find fault with the
proposition. Colorado has followed
this practice for years and has met
with good results"
