BENTON COUNTY
FIRST AT FAIR
Receives Highest Award for Ag-
ricultural and Horticultural
Display at Yakima

Benton county sustained its record
for superiority of agricultural and
horticultural products at the State
Fair by winning first prize over seven
other counties competing for county
honors.
This county was first, with 431
points out of possible 500. The dis
play included over 200 products and
was very attractive with grapes over
an illuminated trellis as a central fea-
ture. Pierce county, 426 points, with
great diversity, was second, the touch
of evergreens festooned about the dis
play giving it something Of its natu-
raj environment. King county won
third with 422 points. Stevens county
with non-irrigated products won the
fourth place. Lewis county won the
award for beauty of exhibit.
Benton county's share Of the cash
awards amounted to $261.00 which will
be turned into the exhibit fund. This
does not include cash prizes awarded
Individual exhibitors of Benton county
products.
P. A. Wright, county club leader.
reports that the boys and girls Of this
county made an excellent showing at
the Fair. The general display consist
ing Of agricultural and domestic art
materials won second place, Yakima
county winning first. About IS per
cent of the material for this booth was
produced by the Kennew.ck boys and
girls.
1t is impossible at this time to give
a complete list of winners, but it is
known that in the sewing contests Ell
la Williams won second place. This is
considered an excellent showing as a
majority of the counties of the state
were represented.
Edward Lum, who had large dis.
play from his garden, received blue
ribbons on lima beans, wax beans, ta-
BILE carrots and cabbage. Vern Lewis
won first on field and table pumpkins
and second on watermclons. Lloyd
Dunlap received first on the best ter
potatos.

This is the message which Lieut. F.
R. Jeffrey of the 146th Field Artillery
sends to the people of Kennewick on
the eve of the Fourth Liberty Loan,
when every citizen will be called upon
to double his efforts in supporting the
boys at the front.
Lieut.. Jeffrey's letter follows:
August a, 1918
My Dear Gardner:
In the mail which we received last
night-the first for five weeks-I was
greatly pleased to find the back num-
bers of the Kennewick Couricr-Report-
er. / have just finished reading them
and they were just Like a good, newsy
letter to me. / had been away from
Battery E for SO long that had not
received the papers which you were
sending for me and it was a real pleas
ure to read about the doings st Kenne-
wick and to read what my many
friends, of whom I think often, are
doing. was also greatly interested
to read of the excellent work being
done by Kenrewick for the Red Cross
and Liberty Loan. / am real proud OF
my home town and her people for the
support of these two causes. II the
people at home keep up the good work
in furnishing funds and supplies you
need not worry concerning the hnal
outcome Of this war.
The American boys here are stand
ing the test of steel in the manner
which is fitting for a true American.
OF this fact you are no doubt advised
by the press reports of the successes
of the Allies in the present offensive.
am proud to say that the l46th is
contributing its share to this success,
and of course, the messages sent out
over the lines by the men in Battery
E are those of victory for the Allies
and defeat for the Boche., Articles In
the papers which / received tell that
we are now handling the "heavles"
but they are heavier and larger than
some of the articles indicate. Our
guns are of comparatively recent IN
vention and when properly handled
are very accurate at a very long range.
This statement is verified by the
name which the infantry has recently
applied to us namely 'The long-range
snipers." The infantry seem to be very
happy to have us behind them ano
when they hear on of our shells pass
ing over their heads they are reputeo
to say, "There goes one OF our big
brothers"
1t is very interesting as we advance
to look over the ground we have peen
shelling and see the large craters
where our shells have struck, and y
is more satisfying to see httie
yard with German crosses near py
those craters. I say Satisfying" be-
cause we then know that our work mas
accomplished it's purpose, but 1t is al
so distracting to know that it has been
necessary for our guns to send some
poor mothers son to the realm from
which no traveller returns. 1t IS q
gruesome game and oftentimes one Is
confronted with very gruesome slgnts
However, one has to commune VIII
death and with sorrow and suffering
SO much of the time that you come te
look upon it as a thing to be expected
"a thing that is necessary. In TACT
1T becomes almost commonplace. A:

you see your comrade fall by the road
side by a shell from the enemy and
when you see the things which they
have done in the regions which they
desert, then your heart is filled with
hatred and you are mentally prepared
for the CHASTITY work. 1t fell to my
lot few days ago to visit Catholic
church in city recently vacated by
the Germans and after looking upon
the sacrilege unfit to write COM
mitted by the soldiers of the enemy, /
tell you that any red-blooded man, be
ne Catholic or Protestant, is ready for
the fight. Seeing is believing" and
/ have seen.
l feel very sad when / go into some
of these French villages, vacated but
a short time before by the enemy
to see a total ruin. Scarcely house
which has not been shattered by shells
and the streets filled with masonry,
sometimes six feet high. When my
business calls me to go further in rear
OF the front it is pitiful sight to see
some of the inhabitants returning to
their homes to find them wrecked and
often total ruins. Of course, only the
very old men, old women and young
children return. A common sight is
to see an old woman returning with
pack on her back or head and a girl
of 15 to 18 pushing wheelbarrow
containing all that they could take
with them when they We're forced to
leave when the Germans advanced.
However, they show great happiness
at being able to return and greet an
American soldier with a pleasant
smile and stVive rAmerique."
/ cannot help but believe that some
day there will be an accounting and
that the Ruler of our destinies will
call those who have caused all this
suffering to answer for their deeds.
Surely the perpetrators Of such un-
civilized deeds will not go unpunished.
I could write you many interesting
happenings in line with what have
written above, but I do not want to
dwell upon the sordid things because
all is not sad. You know bunch of
cans-especially soldiers never
gather together without finding some
thing amusing and something pleas
ant. Many amusing and interesting
things occur from day to day.
ALI our boys are well and happy.
Only 5 or casualties in the regiment
so far and none Of them from our neck
of the woods. I cannot tell you the
particulars about them owing to the
rules of censorship.
Well, A. R., must stop for this
time. I did not anticipate that I
would write such a long letter when I
started but merely intended to- thank
you for.the papers. SosFse s''s
s Give my very best to all Of Kenne
wick. andayou and the rest of1the men
and women of Kennewick, keep up the
good work you are doing. You con-
tinue to give the enemy h at home
and we will give them plenty of h
here.
Sincerely yours

y
Washington, May 31.-Railroad
employees were reminded by Director
General McAdoo last night that they
are employees Of the u. S. in time of
war, and that a strike means a. blow
at their own government and the
hampering of transportation essen
tial to protect the hundreds of thou
sands Of American boys fighting on
the battle fields Of Europe.
In a telegram to the heads Of all
labor unions having shopmen among
their members, Mr.. .McAdoo gave no
ttce that the government cannot be
coerced or inundated and called
upon railroad men to remain at their
duty and rely upon him and the new
board Of railroad wages and working
conditions for just consideration Of
their claims. He asked the union
leaders to urge upon their men by
wire the wisdom and patriotism Of
this course.
