war as commissioned officer in the
army Of Gen. Robert E. Lee. A short
talk was made by Richard Lemcke, of
White Bluffs.
The day was ideal and the heavy
rain of the night before put the roads
in excellent condition. Those w no
made the trip express themselves as
delighted with the ride and the hos
pitality Of the Up-River folks.

HORSE HEAVEN MAN
! DIESOF HYDROPHOBIA
Frank Callahan Dies in Cell in
County Jail-Bitten by Dog
" Last January

At last hydrophobia, which has been
prevalent among the coyotes and dogs
of this county for several months, has
cost human life. Frank Callahan, a
Horse Heaven rancher, died a terrible
death from rabies in Prosser last Fri
day afternoon. So violent did the man
become in his last rawlings that ply
sicians and friends who attended him
were forced to remove him from the
hospital to cell in the county Jail
where he died.
Mr.. Callahan, who was rugged,
robust man, was bitten on the hand by
the family dog last January. The
dog was not mad at the time nor did
it show any symptoms of rabies be-
fore it was killed some time later. The
wound on the mans hand healed and
he was in perfect health until last
Thursday when he was taken suddenly
ill. 1t was not until during the last
hour of his illness that the physicians
knew that he was suffering from ra-
bies.

last of the week for Seattle. Walter

nard Slaugenhaupt that he successful
ly passed the examination in Seattle
for the radio land service and he is

tractive to the Kennewick boys, only

MUST CARRY LIGHT
ON ALL VEHICLES
State Law Provides that Horse
Drawn Carts as Well as Autos
Must Light Up

Only a few more weeks and then
every vehicle that travels the high
ways, be it driven by the faithful
iplodding horse, or hurled madly thru
space by the irrestible force of cleo
trio power, will announce its presence
on the road by good substantial
iplainly visible light, whether it be go
ing or be it coming.
For, one Of the first little laws,
passed by the 1917 legislature in its
infinite wisdom, compels all vehicles
drawn by animals to display at least
one lighted lamp after the hours of
darkness, so fixed as to be visible from
front or rear.
| Section 1, Of Chap. 40, Laws of 1917
reads as follows:
every vehicle drawn or propelled
/ by horses, mules or other animal pow
er, when driven on any public road
highway, park, parkway, street or
avenue, within this state, during the
hours of darkness, have fixed or car
ried thereon in some conspicuous place
on the left side of the vehicle at
least one lighted lamp so fixed or
carried that the light therefrom may
be seen from the front and rear of
said vehicle"
!, Such a requirement has been ex-
acted of the automobile ever since it
has been subjected to regulations. The
danger of such machines running over
somebody or something was recog-
nized right from the start, and so pro-
per precaution was taken of lessen
ing such chances.
! 1t has taken years, however, to un-
derstand that there is just as much
danger from vehicle driven by an
imal force, both to itself and occu-
pants, and others, as there is from the
motor vehicle. 49,. .sa
Secretary of State I. M. Howell, in
commenting on the bill says: "Just
how many accidents may have oc-
Cured in the past from this cause
would be difficult to estimate at this
time, but it is certain that they have
been numerous. No matter, however,
how many there have been, there will
be fewer in the future, and so people
travelling at night time, in horse car
riages or in motor vehicles, may now
feel the comfort of being relieved of
the strain of endeavoring to avoid run
ming into a wagon travelling at a
snail's pace, and will escape the thrill
of narrowly escaping a collision with
one unhitched for the night and act
ually blocking one side Of the high
way" n7F&

BERRY SEASON
WILL BE SHORT
When Ripening Starts Things
Will Come With a Rush
Picking Schedule Adopted

Because of the extreme lateness of
the spring it is expected that when the
weather does warm up the strawber-
ries will come on with q rush and the
season will be over before it has hard
ly started. Growers are estimating
that the picking season this year will
probably be not longer than three
weeks instead Of As days as last year.
The short season does not help the
labor situation any as it will be diff
cult to induce people to come into the
valley for such short time. On the
other hand rapid ripening, will make
good picking right from the start and
the pickers will undoubtedly be able to
make better wages than in normal
years.
As yet no fears are entertained for
an acute labor shortage but growers
are eagerly awaiting the arrival Of
the government labor agent who is to
be stationed here during the berry sea-
son. Many of the growers are al
ready getting a pretty good line up on
their pickers but there are few who
will not depend upon the federal bu-
reau for some assistance.
Members Of the Rich
land Union have adopted the following
schedule of prices: Pickers who stay
in one patch during the season will re-
ceive 40 cents crate and those who
do not stay on the job will receive 35
cents. Packers will receive 17k cents
a crate for the season and Is cents for
less than the season.
The Union recommends that all
growers furnish tents, stoves, wood
and water or the federal bureau may
not be able to render much assistance.

AUTO IMPORTANCE
 E BROUGHT 0UT
 BY NEEDS 0F WAR

The war has centered attention on the automobile for two different rea- sons and from two totally different angles" comments Harry M. Jewett. president of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company Military men and lay men to some extent, if they have fol- lowed the great conflict closely have observed what a vital part the motor ized vehicle is playing in the struggle abroad The motor car has been given credit and this fact, although not com pletely realized and appreciated, is no longer news, according to information received by the Brown Dryer com pany, local Paige distributors.
 But since we have had to consider finances in relation to the war and ways and means for raising or saving money, certain people have turned the spotlight on the motor car from diff ferent angle-a false angle. Lacking information or superficial in their req soning, they have questioned the mo- tor car as a commodity necessary for our oaily affairs at this time.
 These false reasoners have even suggested that the automobile is a lux ury and can be spared; that it would be well for the country at this time if it's manufacture were curtailed and the money involved in making it, buying it and operating it were turned into more useful channels.
 Such peculiar reasoning shows how little these false economists understand the place the automobile now occupies. It was from the very first utility and as great a necessity as the telephone. The fact that 63 per cent of all cars manufactured go to farms throws seme light on the matter, for if the automo- bile were Q pleasure car the farmers would mot be taking such huge pro- portion of the output. R
 Overlook for the moment what the industry means in the way of invested capital and the employment of labor and just consider how your own friends use their cars. I venture to say you will discover that most every man you know who drives a car uses it about nineteenth of the time for business or utilitarian purposes.
 The salesman, the contractor, the builder, the plumber, the doctor, the collector and men in a thousand and one occupations use their cars for business, for errands and utilitarian purposes, while the banker, if you told him his car was merely a luxury would reply that 1t carries him back and forth from business. is used for shop ping by his family and runs all the household errands
 Statistics are not needed to prove the utility of the motor car. Just a little straight thinking shows up the fallacy of the argument that the in dustry could be spared or curtailed at this time. On the contrary. to force it to put on artificial brakes would be eallttg J staggering blow to the coun try that would shake fl to its very foundations"
