of the Security State Bank, decided to
take short business course in Spo-
kane, Richland lost one of its most
attractive and popular girls. Miss
Marjorie has made Richland her home
for the past nine years, graduating
from the local high school and taking
part in every community undertaking
since she has been old enough to take
hold of affairs of local interest. She
will need but a few weeks training
in college before taking an attractive
position which has been offered her
in the Federal Reserve Bank of Spo-
kane.
A. G. Rosaaen left Sunday night
for Seattle to enter the training school
at the University of Washington. A.

down the position of manager of the
local lumber yard until the permanent
manager arrives on the scene.
Miss Edna Zimmerman left the lat
ter part of the week for Pullman col
lege after spending the summer with
her parents here. Miss Edna expects
to major in languages with the idea
of entering some branch of war work.
She has been employed for the past
two years in the state library at olym-
pia where she gained much valuable
experience. -,
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. CARAT are
packing their household goods this
week and will leave about Thursday
for Grass Valley, Ore, to make their
future home. Mr.. CARAT expects to
work in garage this winter and in
the spring go on fine homestead of
800 acres which he has been lucky
enough to locate. We hate to see
these pioneers leave, but hope they
are successful. Miss Itha is already
enrolled in the Grass Valley school as
a Junior. ~.
H. E. Compton is in Seattle on bust
ness and will be gone about two weeks
longer. ='@
Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Hinkle and in

the summer at Tekoa, returned to
their home in Richland Sunday. Mr..
Hinkle expects to work this winter
with Contractor Murray, who is build
ing a fine new house for John Nicho-
laus on his ranch north of town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Wienenga and
family moved back into their own
house on the ranch Monday. The

moved into town for the winter.
The Richland Red Cross Circle is
engaged in making wrappers of heavy
outing flannel to be sent to the Bel
gians for use among the destitute wo-
men of that unlucky country this win
ter. Mrs. Neil Nelson is doing the
cutting and the finished garment looks
warm and cozy. The ladies sent a
consignment of finished quilts to the
hospital at Camp Lewis some time ago
and are in receipt of most touching
letter from the boys in the ward, stat
ing that the comforts are most highly
appreciated as the nights begin to get
cold on the Coast early in the fall and
additional bedding was absolutely nee
essary. The ladies have another big
box of quilts nearly finished which
will be sent shortly.
Owing to the fact that number of
the district committeeman of the Rich
land district war council have left the
valley. or are unavoidably absent, the

E. III. Cunning, called to colors; A. S.
Murray in place of A. M. Lausch, Lou
Wheelhousc in place of A. G. Rosaaen,
M. K. Page and H. P. Miller will cam
vass their district on the Fourth Lib
erty Loan on account of the absence
of the regular committeeman, II. E.
Compton. The committeeman will have
in full report of the results of their
canvass by Friday noon so that the
council may hold a meeting Friday
evening to determine what steps are
necessary to make Richland go over
the top with vengeance.
On account of the fact that the 4th
