ECLIPSE OF THE sun
NEXT SATURDAY
Kennewick is Just Few Miles
Outside Path of Totality-
GOldendale in the Center

With clear skies, at few minutes
before four o'clock next Saturday af-
nernoon the people of Kennewick will
witness an eclipse Of th, sun. Un-
fortunately Kennewick is just few
miles outside the range Of totality
but the eclipse as seen from here will
be about SO per cent total.
The eclipse will be total for the brief
period of from one to two minutes
along the center and for an instant
along the border along strip about
20 miles wide.
The eclipse is caused by the moon
passing between the sun and the earth
and the shadow will sweep diagonally
over the United States. The shadow
will enter this country at South Bend
Washington and in AZ minutes will
travel to Orlando, Florida. The eclipse
will start at South Bend at 1855 o'clock
western time and will arrive at Or
lando at GAL central time.
Goldendale is almost exactly in the
center Of totality and the phenome-
non can be observed more advantage
ously from Paterson, Carley or even
the Horse Heaven hills to the south
west than it can from here.

Committees are Named and Site
Chosen for Tent-Trenbath
is Chairman
DIR. EVANS is A WHIRLWIND
II. K. Pratt Says Lecture by David
Lloyd-George's Nephew is Worth
Season Ticket Price

Preliminary plans for Kennewick's
Chautauqua were made Tuesday eve-
ming when committees were named and
a site for the big tent selected. As
last year, the local organization will
be headed by E. w. Trenbath as chair
man. c. c. Lennon was elected sec
retary-treasurer.
The grounds committee is b. Z.
Reser, K. S. Mcdonald and Z. A. Fer
rell; advertising committee, A. j.
Copeland, Z. II. Sherk and A. r. Card
ner. j. p. Martin is chairman of the
ticket selling committee and the other
members Of his committee are all the
other 81 guarantors who are not in
cluded in any Of the other committees.
Mr.. Martin started this morning to
line up his workers and to outline his
selling campaign. When the ticket
sale opens he hopes.to finish the Job
in one day. The committee has about
$50 season ticket pledges turned over
from last year and it is thought the
additional $50 tickets will be readily
sold.
The site selected for the Chautauqua
is on the alfalfa plot just west of Ho-
tel Kennewick on Second street.
Instead Of the war detracting from
attendance at Chautauqua this year it
will undoubtedly contribute TO it, for
the reason that the Chautauqua will
bring here class Nef war and patrio-
tic lecturers that the smaller towns
cannot get as single attractions. One
of the big patriotic features of the
program will be the lecture Of Arthur
Walwyn Evans, nephew of David
Lloyd-George.
County Commissioner r. e. Pratt
heard DR.. Evans lecture at the Pros
ser Chautauqua this wcck and in COM
menting on the lecture said: "I don't
know anything about the rest Of
Chautauqua, but / do know that DR..
Evans lecture alone is well worth the
price of season ticket. / consider
that got two dollars and half
worth out Of his lecture at Prosser and
] am going to hear him again when
he comes to Kennewick. / heard q
number Of Prosser people say they i'm
tended to come to Kennewick for the
purpose of hearing DR.. Evans give the
same address he gave there.
"He's whirlwind and makes big
three-hours' talk in an hour and
half. AS an'inspiration TO patriotism
DR.. Evans lecture is one of the best
things ] have heard in many years.
Every man, woman and child in this
community should hear him and the
big tent should be packed when he
comes to Kennewick."

MERCHANTS TO SELL
WAR STAMPS
Effort Will be Made to Place
Baby Bonds on Sale in Every
Retail Store

T.. E. Brockhausen, Of Prosser, coun-
ty chairman for the merchants sale
of Thrift and War Savings stamps
has placed E. M. Sly in charge of the
sale in this city.
The retail dealers of the United
States have undertaken to sell $780,
100000 worth of war stamps and
have organized for that purpose in
every state and every county of the
Union. The plan Of campaign is for
every retailer to place the stamps on
sale at his store and to push the sale
in every possible way. To do this the
retailer must purchase the stamps out
right at the postoffice and every stamp
so purchased will be credited upon the
community's quota.
Mr.. Brockhausen said yesterday that
Benton county is still away under its
quota and something must be done to
stimulate the sale. Prosser, he says,
has sold more stamps than all the
rest of the county combined.
Mr.. Brockhausen was accompanied
on his trip by Mayor Ivan Macy, of
Prosser.

WATER FIRST OF WEEK

If the present working force is
maintained the break in the canal will
be repaired and the water turned in
Saturday evening. The repair work
has been carried on much more rapid
ly than had been expected. The farm
ers responded quickly to the call for
help and force of nearly 20 teams
have been busy on the job. The break
is being repaired by digging new
canal rather than by building up the
wrecked levy.

DISTRICT EXEMPTION
BOARD MOVES TO YAKIMA
Headquarters to be Established in the
Larger Town with Miss Ruth
Lewis in Charge

emption board have been moved from
this city to Yakima. The removal has

city, chairman of the board, opposed
the removal but the other members Of
the board outvoted him.

TO MAKE FRUIT BOXES
AT MORE RAPID RATE
H. H. Davis Company to Place New
Invention on the Market
This Season

The II. H. Davis company expects
to soon put on the market a new in
vention, the use of which will ma
terially speed up the manufacture of
fruit boxes. 1t is known as the Girard
Box Form and is the invention of Fred
Girard, Of this city
The device, which has been patented
by Mr.. Girard, is simple and as eff
fective as it is simple. 1t is form
into which fits all the shocks neces-
sary in making a complete box, and
every shook is held securely in place,
leaving the operator with both hands
free for the mailing.
The invention is the result of Mr..
Girard's effort to obtain speed by OBJ
Waiting every movement which means
lost motion. There is nothing to learn
about the form and any mailer in a
days time can become accustomed to
its operation. Mr.. Girard, who has
been making boxes for the Davis COM
pany, has been using one of the forms
and finds that its use increases his
daily output by at least 25 per cent.
The form is adjustable and can be
used equally well for apple, pear or
peach boxes.
Mr.. Davis has been negotiating with
several firms for the manufacture Of
the form in, large quantities and ex-
poets to place it on the market in the
near future. It will sell for $25.

FEWER FIRECRACKERS AND
MORE BULLETS Is PLEA
County Commissioners Request that a
Powderless Fourth be OBJ
served in this County

The board of county commissioners
went on record in favor of powder
less Fourth by the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolutions at their regular
meeting this week:
Whereas, this board believes that un-
der present conditions, when our coun-
try and its allies are waging gigan-
tic war that the principals of liberty
and Justice may not perish from the
earth, all causes Of unnecessary ex-
penditure should be removed, and ev-
cry dollar be diverted from channels
that do not produce something Of ben
eft to help our brave boys at the
front or help feed and sustain our al
lies abroad and our own people at
home, and,
Whereas, each year considerable
money is spent in the purchase of fire.
works for the Fourth of July celebra-
tion, which often results in the loss of
many lives and the destruction : of
much property.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, by
this board of county commissioners,
that the citizens of this county be
urged to celebrate the Fourth of July
in way that will give all satisfac-
tion of having helped win our cause,
teach lessons of thrift to the children,
and while perhaps they will miss the
noise of an explosion at home, they
may realize that each such saving will
help make a greater noise with many
explosions at the battle front, and that
each explosion is doing something for
our country in carrying a bullet or
shell into the enemy.
Done in regular session this 5th day
of June, 1918.
Francis Lee Bash, chairman board
of county commissioners.
r. E. Pratt, commissioner.
E. C. Houston, commissioner.

teams and scrapers could do thu

the material to pack 1t as we'll as

did the rest. 1t was hardly expected
that it would be of much service this

came hard and smooth, and is almost
as good as the bitulithic pavement
In the county seat. If it had been
pu on scientifically so it would be
absolutely smooth and of even
density there would be no difference
between 1t and the bitulithic except
IN color, and perhaps in durability.
The lasting quality of the new road
has yet to be determined, but it does
not seem to life under the action
OF swift-moving cars.
The people of the community were
SO well pleased with the new road
that they donated half the work of
building an east and west road along
the north side of the Goshen town
site, and what was just completed
couple OF weeks ago is already as
good road as the new macadam

sufficient variety of sizes to mix for
solid body, and nearly all of the
particles are rounded, not sharp like
