Mr.. and Mrs. S. j. Harrison, of
Sunnyside, have received the follow
ing telegram from their son Frank,
who left here a year ago as second
lieutenant of Battery E, 146th field
artillery: "Will not be home Christmas
but expect to make it by New Years.
Have been appointed regimental ad-
jutant in addition to present duties" !"
Lieut.. Harrison was sent back to this
country several months ago as an in
structor in artillery and as he will be
the first of the original Battery E
bows to reach home an effort will be
made to have him come to Kennewick
for public address. s+.

146TH FIELD ARTILLERY
is NOW in GERMANY
sWalla Walla Captain Writes that they
Have Received Orders to March
to the Rhine

There seems to be little hope that
the 146th field artillery, one battery
of which was largely raised In this
county, will return very soon from
overseas. The boys have been in
France year and it was thought they
would be among the first units to be
sent home, but according to the Walla
Walla Union Capt. Harry A. Wells,
of the headquarters staff of the regl-
ment had been ordered to refit for the
march into Germany. If this be true
the boys will probably eat Christmas
dinner with President Wilson In Cob
lenz instead of at home.

ANOTHER RICHLAND
BOY is KILLED
FRANK Dresser Gives Up Life in
France-Has Two Brothers
in the Service
(Richland Correspondent

The entire Richland District was
shocked to learn of the death of Frank
Dresser, youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
+. Dresser, who gave up his life in
his country's service on October 18.
Official word that the son had been
killed in action was received by Mr..
Dresser on Friday, but was not COM
municated to the boys mother until
later as she was very i'll with the in
fluenza at that time and the effect of
the news on her health was feared.
Frank Dresser was one of the most
loveable young men who ever made
Richland his home. He was not a
fighter in the sense that so many boys
are. He was anxious to enlist and do
his duty, but as his parents had al
ready given their other two sons to
the service and had no one left at home
to help them, they persuaded him to
wait for the draft, which he did. He
had seen some of the hardest fighting
of the entire campaign, having been
among the first boys to be sent across
and everyone was praying that he
would come thru safe and sound.
He leaves to mourn his loss be-
sides his parents, four sisters and two
brothers who are also in the service.
There is not one heart in Richland but
what feels for the bereaved family.

HAVE YOU A
HEART AND
sd. .
A DOLLAR?
Red Cross Christmas Roll Call Is
Progressing Slowly in This
Community
ONLY FOUR HUNDRED ENROLL
More Speed Must be Shown Fridav
and Saturday or Kennewick
Will Fall Behind It's Record

At noon today Kennewick was far
from its goal of a hundred per cent
Red Cross roll call. Only 400 Kenne-
wickians had demonstrated that thew
have heart and dollar by answering
at the Roll Call. There has been no
personal solicitation and it is the hone
of the committee that the campaign
can be satisfactorily conducted with.
out any.
Last year 1908 people in Kenne-
wick and the surrounding country en-
rolled as Christmas members of the
Red Cross and it was thought this year
At would not be necessary for a few
men and women to give up their time
and go out in the highways and by
ways and urge the people to do their
duty as loyal American citizens. The
work of the Red Cross is too well
known to require any explanations or
arguments. The signing of the ar
mistice by no means indicates that the
work of the Red Cross is over. AS
long as there is want, suffering and
misery in the world there will be work
for the Red Cross and it will be found
administering to that misery.
If Kennewick is to equal its record
of a year ago memberships must come
in the remaining days of the campaign
at the rate of about 200 day. Sat-
urday is being looked forward to as
the big day of the campaign. Plans
have been made for placing high school
girls in charge of booths in several of
the business houses and every person
who does not wear the 1919 Red Cross
button will be expected to wear one
before he or she lie. yes the building.
The lack of heart or a dollar will
be the only excuse accepted for fail
ure to join.
To date there are many 100 per
cent families on the list-families
where mother, father and all the child
rem are enrolled as members. The BAN
ner family to date on the list is that of
j. Bryson Brown, whose Red Cross
window flag will have seven crosses
on it. Several other families are close
seconds.
Richland was late in getting start
ed and the campaign there, as here,
is progressing slowly. Last year Rich
land had 325 members making the to-
tai Christmas membership of the Ken
newick branch 1880 members. No
reports have as yet been received from
E. T. Cushman, of Hover, and Ed.
Angel of Finley, but both men are on
the job and a good showing from the
valley communities is expected.
The roll call stations in the city
are at the First National Bank, the
American Security Bank, Sherk's
Store, Courier-Reporter Office, Vibber-
Gifford's and The Produce Company.
To date the Vibber-G Clifford Drug store
is the banner station with more than
double the number of members report
ed by any other station.

FEWER aFLun CASES

There has been very noticeable
falling off in the number of influenza
cases the last week and physicians re-
port conditions greatly improved. The
epidemic in the city and the upper part
of the valley is rapidly subsiding and
most of the new cases are in the Fin

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
ON THE INCREASE
Attendance is Now About Is per
Cent of Normal and Condi-
tion Improves Daily

The attendance this week is much
better than it has been at any time
since October. 1t is now about rs per
cent of normal, including the whole
school and is increasing daily.
A number of the teachers are still
absent on account of illness. Grades
have been combined and substitutes
employed SO that the work might be
carried on as successfully IS possible.
There will be school all next week
excepting Christmas Day.
The Washington literary society of
the high school gave its first program
in the assembly last Friday afternoon.
For starter it was very good pro-
gram. Most of the nervousness was
before rather than during the
time of carrying out the progam.
The second literary society will give
its first program Tuesday afternoon,
December "a. This work will be car
ried out thruout the year.
To liquidate an old indebtedness the
boys and girls of the high school will
give an smokeless smoker in the gym
this Friday night. j. p. Martin and
Miss Thomas have had charge of the
5raininb. The admission is so and 35
,ents.

GOVERNORSHIP FIGHT

The Townleyites figure that, with
a candidate who could draw some
thing like the Lindberg vote, they
would win the election, because Whea-
ton would split the loyalty vote with
Burnquist. To do this, of course
they would have to get a big city
vote. They drew in the primaries
the pro- German and the pacifist vote,
from city as well as country. They
also drew quite labor vote, and they
hope to line up this strength for their
independent ticket.
Democratic leaders are counting
on the supper. of organized labor
for Wheaton who is said to stand pref
ty well with the unions Apparently
there is going to be a struggle for
this labor contingent. One report
is that an opportunity will be given
Wheaton to address the labor political
conference on August "a, and that
if he comes out satisfactory on la
boris legislative program, some sort
of Endorsement will be given him.
That would be serious blow to the
Townleyite hopes, but it would not
be surprising. Loyal labor leaders
