LYCEUM COURSE
AGAIN THIS YEAR
First Number of Redpath At.
fractions at High School
Next Wednesday

Owing to a misunderstanding be-
tween the local committee and the
Redpath bureau it was not known defi-
nitely until yesterday whether or not
there was to be a Lyceum course in
the city this year or not. Mr.. Lowe,
representative of the bureau, has been
here for several days and after con-
siderable negotiations succeeded yes
terday in effecting n compromise with
the local committee, the members of
which agreed to go ahead with the
course.
The course this year will be of five
numbers, each of which the bureau
represents as especially fine. The
first number will be the Woodland
Quartet Singers, who come Wednes-
day evening, October 9. They give an
entertainment of story, song and mu-
sic, and their program is distinctly
different from that of the ordinary
quartet.
The second number is the Musical
Guardsmen, November %. This is a
big military number in a three part
program. Many of the most popular
war songs will be featured in the pro-
gram.
Gay Zenola MacLauren, who pleased
so we'll two years ago with her recital
of famous plays, will return this year.
The big musical number is the Boston
Opera company which will without a
doubt be the highest class musical or
ganization ever heard in Kennewick. k.
They will give a varied program of
light, comic and grand opera selec-
tions.
The number which will undoubtedly
pack the house is Sergeant John /.
Flahiff, a member Of the famous "Prin-
cess Pats" regiment of the Canadian
overseas forces. He went over the top
in the days when all the advantage
was with the Boche and was one OF the
men who helped put the Canadians on
the map as among the premier fight
ers of the world. As lecturer he is
| said to rival Guy Empey and Private
Peat, who have made themselves ia
NOUS with their writings and lectures
| Season tickets are being sold for
$3.50 for adults and $1.25 for students,
plus the war tax. The entertainments
will be given in the high school audi
torium as in former years.
Mr.. Lowe says there are very few
of the Redpath towns which have
given up their courses this year or
account of the war. As matter OF
fact, some of the towns are keeping
up their courses at considerable sac
rifice because the committeeman fee
that the war efficiency of the people is
liable to be crippled because of q
dearth of entertainment and diver
sion.

LIBERTY LOAN
TOP is STILL
LONG WAY OFF
Committee Reports Subscrip-
tions Coming in More Rapid
ly Than Before
BUT $4,000 IS SUBSCRIBED
Assessment Plan is Adopted and Com
mittee Hopes to Do Little or
No Soliciting

Altho Kennewick's Liberty Loan
quota of $S4,9O7 is still a long way off, /,
Chairman M. w. Mattecheck reports
that loan subscriptions are coming in
much more rapidly than in any of the
previous campaigns. As yet there has
been no soliciting done and it is the
hope of the committee that the quota
can be raised without personal solici-
tation except to round up few de-
linqucnts the closing days of the CAM
paign.
At the close of banking hours today
the total subscriptions amounted to ap-
proximately $31 900, the average sub
scription being about $3.50.
The committee for this loan adopt
ed the assessment plan which has
been successfully followed in many
districts of the country.
To the heads of families have been
mailed cards which give the minimum
subscription necessary to make the
quota. There is nothing compulsory
about the assessments but they give
the subscriber an idea of how strong
he must go in order that Kenhewick
may not fall short in helping give the
Kaiser the fourth big swat.
For the purpose of stimulating in
terest in the campaign the state COM
mittee will send here next week re-
turned Canadian soldier who will
spend four days in this end of the
county. He will speak Monday eve
ming in the auditorium of the high
school in Richland, Tuesday evening in
the Finley hall, Wednesday evening in
Paterson and Thursday evening in the
Princess Theatre in this city.
The speaker will be able to present
thrilling war message from informa-
ton gathered first hand in the trenches
and on the fighting fronts. No in
formation concerning the speaker has
been received other than that he is
convincing talker and will be able to
tell the people what our boys are 60
ing up against over there and impress
upon us the necessity of backing them
up in every possible way.

WAR CUTS DOWN
CROP PRODUCTION
Agricultural Council Estimates
that Production Has Reen
Reduced One-FOurth

According to County Agriculturalist
Lee M. Lampson, crop production in
Benton county has been cut down fully
,25 per cont this year because of a
shortage Of labor due to the war. Mr..
Lampson bases his estimates upon
facts submitted by members of his adj
visory agricultural council, the MEM
Ibership Of which is selected from all
parts of the county.
Mr.. Lampson expressed surprise
that the percentage was so great as
the shortage of farm labor has not
been so very noticeable this year. In
vestigationS show, however, that many
farmers have not attempted to secure
additional labor, but have gone ahead
doing just what work they and the
members of their families could.
The investigation was made as a
part of a campaign which the depart
ment of agriculture is conducting to
prevent farming operations being Sc
riously impeded by the military draft.
A plan has been agreed upon by the
war labor policies board, the provost
marshal general, secretary of war, Sec
retary of agriculture and secretary OF
labor to put into deferred classified
ton such persons in the new draft as
are necessary in agriculture, industry
and other occupations. To accomplish
this County Agriculturalist Lampson
and his council Of advisers have been
requested to act as advisors to the
draft board for the purpose of present
ing facts elative to the supply of ne
cessary agricultural workers in this
county.
| A survey Of the county shows that
at the present time there is a shortage
of about $50. farmers and an estimated
idle acreage of 1895 because of this
shortage. Mr.. Lampson estimates
that the idle acreage will be ever
larger next year than this.

The Commercial club vacated its
former home in the Hover block We'd

CITY. OFFICES NOT
VERY ATTRACTIVE
Filings for Primary Election to
Close Saturday and Ticket
Is Far from Complete

AS has been the case for several
years, the people are showing little or
no interest in the coming city primary
election. The "glory" jobs, mayor and
council, are going begging and 1T IS
doubtful if there will be a complete
ticket by the time the filings close at
5 p. m. Saturday.
Mayer Sherk is beginning to worry
for fear that he will be continued IN
office by default. There seems to be
a disposition on the part of number
of business men to draft Harry Vibber
for the job, but to date the druggist
has eluded the draft and returned a
persistent nothing doing" to all en-
treaties.
Charlie Haas, who has held down
one of the chairs around the council
table for several years, has filed Tor
reelection as councilman from the
first ward and so far Charlie is lone
some as there have been no filings Tor
the non-salaried offices.
DR.. D. S. Brogunier, councilman at
large, said very emphatically today
that he did not intend to file for re-
election and Geo. Tweedt, councilman
from the second ward, is just as en-
phatic in his refusal to seek furtner
aldermanic honors. The retiring mem
ber of the council from the third WARD
is Geo. Egbert, who declares ne mas
had three years of experience at II
and it is time for somebody else 70
take the job. He says he has been
.endeavoring to persuade L. G. Gard
ner to become candidate, but as.ye'
Mr.. Gardner has not put in his fling.
Mrs. Soth, city clerk, has filed fof

reelection, and it is almost a GER
tainty that she will have no opposition
as she has given absolute satisfaction
in handling the affairs of the office.
M. M. Moulton, who has been serving
as city attorney by appointment, said
yesterday that he intended to file for
the office, but G. R. Bradshaw, who is
holding down the treasurership by the
same right, says that he does not in
tend to file.
The hold-over members of the coun-
Gil are Guy ]. Hayden, first ward, F.
F. Beste, second and R. Gilcrest third.

CHINK SEASON OPEN
Local hunters report Chinese p

Local hunters report Chinese pheas-
ants more plentiful this year than
ever before and it is not unusual for
the good marksman to bag his limit
in a forenoon's hunting. The season
opened Tuesday morning and daylight
found many hunters beating the alfal-
fa meadows and corn fields. There
was the usual amount of wild bonn
bardments and a full quota of alibis
the day after. ..-.

LINEN SHOWER
FOR KHAKI BOYS
Towels, Sheets, Handkerchief
are Needed in Army Hospi-
tails in France

The boys in France are to be given
a "Linen Shower" this week by the
housewives of America. The Red
Cross commissioner FOR France has
cabled that the hospitals are in urgent
need of 1,250,000 bath towels, $780,
600 hand towels, 1,750, 900 handker-
chiefs, 650,O00 sheets and 125,000 nap
kins. Investigation has shown that it
is impossible to purchase these ar
tic1es in the open market in any such
quantities and get them to France
without great delay, consequently the
Red Cross has undertaken to provide
the articles by means Of the shower
plan.
These articles are not required to be
new but should be of good strong tex
ture and should be substantialiysnew.
The number and dimensions of the
different articles which the Kennewick
Red Cross is expected to furnish are
as follows:
108 bath towels, 19x38.
$50 handkerchiefs, 18x18.
81 sheets, 64x102.
ZIG hand towels, 1880.
IL napkins, 14x14.
The sizes mentioned are approx
mate only. 1t is the understanding
that other sizes may be accepted, but
the articles hould conform as nearly as
possible to the foregoing.
Sheets may be larger than the above
dimensions, but none smaller than 62z
loo will be accepted.
The articles need not necessarily be
real linen. What is wanted is good
durable articles such as are comm only
used in American households.
/ It is urged that donations be made
as quickly as possible and none later
than Saturday afternoon as the allot.
ment must be raised and a full report
made by the end of the week. Pack.
ages should be left at the Office of R
E.. Pratt in the Hover block or deliv.

DATE OF CONFERENCE
is NOT YET FIXED
American Peace Commissioners Give
First Interview to Newspaper Cor
RESPONDENTS Since Their Arrival.

Paris, Dec. 19.--The American
peace commissioners conferred with
american newspaper correspondents
for the first time today. All other cor
respondents were excluded. 1t was
stipulated that none of the announce
ments to he made was for purpose of
publication, being only for the guild
ance of the correspondents.
The date of the first meeting Of the
inter allied conference has not been
determined, nor has the date of the
first assemblage of the peace congress.
1t has not been decided whether the
actual sessions will be open. Presi-
dent Wilson's inclination is said to be
that the sessions be open as far as is
possible, but it is expected that much
of the work will be done confidential
ly and then perfected openly.
