In designating Red Cross Week
President Wilson issued the following
proclamation:
Inasmuch as the war fund of 1917
SO generously contributed by the
American people to the American
Red Cross for the administration of
relief at home and abroad, has been
practically exhausted by appropria-
tions for the welfare of the men in
our military and naval forces, and
for those dependent upon them and
for the yet more urgent necessities
of our allies, military and civilian,
who have long borne the brunt Of
the war;
And inasmuch as the year Of our
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands up
on the patriotism and liberality of
our people, and made evident the
necessity of concentrating the work
of relief in one main organization
which can respond effectively and
universally to the needs Of human
ity under stress of war;
And inasmuch as the duration of
the war and the closer and closer
cooperation of the American Red
Cross with our own army and navy,
with the governments Of our allies,
and with foreign relief organiza-
tions, have resulted in the discov-
cry of new opportunities Of help
fulness under conditions which
translate opportunity into duty;
And inasmuch as the American

COLUMBIA RIVER COMPANY
EXPECTS DRILL RIG SOON
Standard Rig Capable of Going 1000
Feet to be Put into Immediate
Operation

6 w. R. Crawford, manager of the Co
lumbia River-Puget Sound Natural
Gas co., accompanied by a party of
western Washington men, visited the
Rattlesnake gas and oil field Saturday
and inspected the big gas well. Every
member Of the party returned very IA
vorably impressed with prospects for
big development in the field.
In the party were Robert Montgom-
cry, editor of the Puyallup Valley
Tribune; Il Olson, contractor and
builder, of Tacoma; M. L. Royal, of
the American Lake Taxicab company;
and G. M. Thorp, formerly of Juneau,
Alaska, but now of Tacoma.
Mr.. Crawford says the west side
people are showing an increasing in
terest in the field and many of them
are backing their interest with their
capital. Mr.. Crawford's company has
contracted for a big standard rig to
arrive within short time. The rig,
which is equipped to drill to depth
of 1000 feet, will be put in operation
on the compsnys' property, but the
exact location has not yet been de-
cided upon.

Cross, and incidentally advertise the
arrival of the first Kennewick berries,
it was decided to drive up to Second
avenue and auction off the balance of
the crate along Bankers Row." The
result of this second auction will not
be known until later in the day.
With the opening of the Eastern
Washington strawberry season H. G..
Flechter, sales manager for the Kenne-
wick-Richland Marketing Union and j.
G. Welsh, assistant manager, will
leave Seattle the latter part of this
week to take up their duties in the
berry district. Both men have had a
wide experience in the marketing of
fruits.
The marketing of the fruit crops of
the members of the Kennewick- Rich
land Marketing Union has for the past
two years been in charge Of the Spo-
kane Fruit Growers Co. This year
the entire business of marketing has
been placed in the hands of the North
wstern Fruit Exchange thru the Spo-
kane organization, who still hold an
unexpired contract with the growers.
The General Sales Agency has been
given the account for local distribu-
tion.

Notice.!

Owing to the fact that some of the cases of fail
ure to subscribe to the Third Liberty Loan have
not yet been thoroy investigated, this committee is
not prepared at this time to the result OF
it's Investigations
That an erroneous impression which seems to
have been conveyed. by our previous announcement
may be corrected we wish to make it clear that no
will be published as Stacker until he has been
given hearing before the committee and in every
each Individual will be given the benefit of ev-
cry reasonable doubt. At no time has this commit
tee presumed to take the position that every man
who did not buy bond is Stacker. This committee
has differences with the man who didn't buy a
bond, but only with the who has the money
and didn't want to buy bord, or the man who
wouldn't buy bond if he had the money.

CHANGE STYLE OF
ASPARAGUS CRATE
Old ''Shoe Box" Container is
Condemned by Seattle Whole
salers and Jobbers

The old "shoe box" style of aspara.
gus crate is in bad with city merchants
and is to be thrown into the discard
For the rest of this season growers
who ship thru the Kennewick- -Richland
Marketing Union will use shallow
flat crate of the same cubical capacity
as The old crate. The reason for the
change in style Of container is told in
the following article from The Daily
Produce News, of Seattle:
That the Kennewick asparagus
growers greatly handicap the sale of
their own unexcelled product by pack
ing it in the small "shoe boxes" is the
concensus of opinion of both the
buyers and the jobbers in the Seattle
produce trade. And what applies to
Seattle may also prove to be the con-
dition in other Pacific Coast markets.
The principal trouble with the Ken
newick pack, as pointed out by the
trade, is that the grass is packed in
the ten-pound containers SO tightly
that it has no opportunity to expand,
and the layers are too thick to allow
proper ventilation. This causes the
grass to wilt and in many cases it
arrives on the market in heated con-
dition.
A careful canvass of the Street re-
vealed the fact that the pyramid crate
is considered the ideal container for
asparagus. This style is used almost
exclusively by the California and the
Walla Walla growers.
A pyramid crate is built with an
allowance of from 11s to 2k inches
at the top for expansion Of the grass
and ventilation. 1t is a well known
fact that asparagus, when the stems
are packed in moss, as is generally
done in the pyramid pack, will con-
tinue to grow while in transit. This
adds weight to the shipment and is
of direct benefit to the shipper, while
grass packed in tight box will lose
heavily thru shrinkage.
Next to the pyramid crate in favor
is the container used extensively by
the Sunnyside and Granger growers.
This crate measures 14x18x3 inches,
inside dimensions, and on account Of
its shallow depth affords a much bet
ter opportunity for ventilation than
the "shoe box" style.
Eugene and Hood River asparagus
growers use deep containers, but their
product is put up in pound punches,
which permits a free circulation Of air
thru the crate.
The above criticism of the container
adopted by the Kennewick growers is
published with the single intent of
helping the producers Of that section
to market their asparagus to the very
best advantage and not be compelled
to labor under an unnecessary handi-
cap thru the use of an undesirable
package.
1t may be that the growers reason
that quality products come in small
packages" and higher price may be
secured. This is true at the beginning
of the season when the Kennewick
grass is considered the best on the mar
ket, but soon grass Of equal quality
comes pouring in from other districts
and the exclusive package is lost sight
of.
During the height of the local sea-
SON retailers buy in large quantities
five to thirty crates to a single or
der-and they prefer asparagus pack
ed in large, ventilated containers.

$51, $50 Is TOTAL OF
BOND SUBSCRIPTIONS
Kennewick Exceeds Its Quota
by S7,650-COmmittee Well
Satisfied with Results

Kennewick districts subscriptions to
the third Liberty Loan amounted to
$51 ,450, or $7,65O over the quota OF
$43,SO0. There are 696 subscribers
to the loan which makes the average
subscription in this district about SIS.
Altho the total is about 5000 un-
der the subscriptions to the second loan
the committee is we'll satisfied with
the results as a smaller subscription
was to be expected at this time. This
is a season Of the year when the de-
mands are particularly heavy on the
finances Of an agricultural country. It
is the planting season when farm rev.
enues are at the minimum and when
the farmer must lay his plans for
financing his operations until after the
new crop has been harvested and sold.
In view of this fact the committee is
well pleased with the results of the
campaign.
In speaking of slackers M. w. Mat
techeck, chairman Of the general COM
mittee, said this afternoon, "The no
tice the committee published in last
weeks Courier-Reporter seems to have
been misunderstood by some and I
fear it has caused some really pa
triotic citizens to become unduly
alarmed. 1t seems that some people
read into the notice threat that all
who did not subscribe for third Liber-
ty Loan bonds were to be published as
slackers. Nothing was further from
the committee than any intention of
this kind. 1t was the committees in
tention, and is still its intention, to
make public the names of those who
have refused to buy bonds when there
is no doubt as to their financial abil-
ity to do so. Nor in these cases is
the committee basing its judgment
upon the results of this campaign, but
is considering the record of these men
in former war work campaigns. Where
a man bought literally of first or Sc
cond loan bonds, but did not subscribe
for bonds this time, we accepted his
former subscriptions as prima facie
evidence of his desire to support the
government and did not even question
his patriotism or his loyalty. In cases
where it is evident that the individual
is not financially able to buy bonds
we accepted his statement as valid
excuse and did not attempt to solicit
him second time and in some cases
did not even make the first solicita-
ton. Members of the committee, how
ever, feel that the people of the COM
munity will agree with them in taking
the stand that if there are any real
slackers-men of unquestioned finan-
cial ability who have not, and do not
want to buy bonds, or men who are not
in sympathy with Americas part in
the war-the names of these men
should be made public. No man who
has done his reasonable duty or who
has shown a disposition to want to
do his reasonable duty, need have any
fear that he will suffer any injustice
at the hands of the committee, for no
man will be published as Stacker un-
til it has beer shown beyond any rea-
! sonable doubt that he is a Stacker"

Hospital Tanet.

PARIS. Feb. 1s.-That an Ameri-
can field hospital, near the American
lines. was the target for a German
airplsne last night is the opinion Of
officers today who report that the
bombs dropped could not have been
intended for any other object, since
there was no other in that vicinity.
The Boche's aim was poor and the
missiles went wide OF their mark.
In the hospital were a number of
sick and wounded officers and men
who were considerably shaken up
when the bombs exploded only a
short distance away. American anti
aircraft guns engaged the enemy ma
chine, but failed TO make a hit.
A report today from American
headquarters states that plans are
being made - remove the hos5itry 20
less dangerous spot.
