ORGANIZE FOR
RED CROSS DRIVE
Committee of Seven to Have
Charge of Campaign which
will Start Monday

R. B. Milroy, of Yakima, chairman
of the Red Cross drive in Yakima and
Benton counties, visited Kennewick
Sunday morning for the purpose of
organizing the local campaign.
The campaign in this district will be
conducted by an executive committee
composed of E. N. Sly, E. w. ,Tren-
bath, H. R. Vibber, M. w. Mattecheck,
G. w. Sherk, A. R. Gardner, B. E.
Reser and "A. J. Copeland. Mr.. Card
ner has been chosen chairman Of the
committee and Mr.. Vibber treasurer.
The solicitors will be named and as
signed to their territories as soon as
the necessary supplies arrive.
| The committee has decided to con-
duct the campaign on an assessment
plan, and with the assistance Of other
local business men and bankers the
minimum subscription Of each individ-
ual has been fixed. The subscriptions
will not be large and it is the hope of
the committee that the campaign can
be made upon cash basis, which will
do away with the detail work Of col
lecting deferred payments.
The campaign is to start Monday
morning and close Saturday evening.

WOODMEN BERRY
FEED SPREADS OUT
Annual Event of Local Lodge
This Year will Include Sew
eral Patriotic Features

The Modern Woodmen's annual
strawberry feed this year will take on
the proportions of a real patriotic
carnival. There will be dance and
there will be strawberries (all you
can eat) ss usual, but there will be
several added patriotic features and
all the proceeds will be used for pa
triotic purposes.
The date has been set for, Tuesday
evening, May %. The dance will be
given in the Knights of Pythias hall
and all of the proceeds will be given
to the Red Cross. The berries will be
served in the Emigh hall in the same
building. The berries will be served
in big heaping dishes with Hoover
ration of sugar and oodles of rich
cream, but money won't buy them.
1t will take Thrift clamps and the pur-
chaser gets to keep the Thrift stamp.
Arrangements will be made to have
either a postoffice or bank employe
in the hall to sell the stamps. Stamps
attached to a thrift card will not be
accepted-the stamps must be loose.
The plan Of sale will be this: Those
who want strawberries will purchase
their thrift stamps at the stamp booth
hand the stamps, together with a
thrift card, to the cashier of the berry
sale, who will attach the stamp to the
card and hand it back to the purchas-
er. This same plan will be followed
at number of amusement booths.
! A feature Of the evenings program
will be patriotic parade to be headed
by the Goddess of Liberty. The honor
of representing the Goddess will be
given to the young lady who sells the
most thrift stamps between now and
May 25th. Several young ladies have
expressed a willingness to enter the
contest and scme keen rivalry is ex-
pected.
Uncle Sam, the Kaiser, George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln
will also be featured in the parade.
Brief talks will be made by Uncle
Sam, Washington and Lincoln, but
the Kaiser will be expected to keep his
mouth shut. A brief talk will also be
made by District Deputy Fulkerson,
who will tell what the Woodmen or
ders are doing toward helping win the
war.

is a part, during a period Of four
turned out about 100000
surgical dressings, more than 365, 900

new BORN BABE
ON DOOR STEP
Infant Girl Left at Home of C..
F. Devenney Tuesday Morn
ing wilkins Take 1t

A tiny bit of humanity, a baby girl
but few hours old, some time dur
ing the early morning hours Tuesday,
was left at the back door of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. F. Devenney.
The infant was wrapped in bath
towel and a suit of mems underwear
and Mrs. Devenney carried it into the
house, thinking it was a bundle of
laundry. The tiny girl, however, OBJ
jected to being tumbled into the wash
tub and astonished the Devenney
household with her cries of protest.
Mrs. Guy Hayden, who lives next
door, was notified Of the find. She
brought infant toggery and soon the
baby had been given its first bath and
cuddled down in its warm fannels per-
fectly contcnted with its first intro
duction to an adventuresome world.
Doctors Crosby and Tullar were no.
titled and soon the little nameless miss
had large number of babyless ladies
on her waiting list, each eager to give
the little one home. The first choice
fell to Mrs. w. r. Wilkins, and the
baby is now member Of the wilkins
household.
The physicians have pronounced
the little girl a bright, healthy, normal
infant and she seems to have suffered
none from her early morning ride out
Of the nowhere to Devenney's door
step.
The parentage of the baby is an abb
solute mystery. The police depart
ment, the sheriff's Office and the ply
sicians have been working on the case
but as yet there is no clue as to where
the child came from. It is thought
that the bundle was brought into town
from considerable distance by a.
stranger who left the baby at the first
house as he drove into town from the
Valley road.

BATTERY e BOY KILLED

Altho no word has been received
from any of the Kennewick boys that
would indicate definitely that the 146th
Field Artillery had gone into action,
word has come to the parents Of Hugh
A. Taylor, of Weston, Ore, member of
Battery E, that he had been killed in
France. There was nothing in the
message to show whether death was
by accident or whether the boy was
killed in action.

W. H. ALLISON Is
CALLED BY DEATH
Prominent Farmer Dies Follow
ing Short Illness OF Typhoid
Fever-Funeral Tuesday

Willis H. Allison, one of the best
known ranchers of the Kennewick Val
ley, died early Sunday morning at his
home near the city, following ten
days illness of typhoid fever. Fun
eral services were conducted at the
Baptist church at one o'clock Tues
day afternoon by Rev J. d. B. Adams
Burial was in Riverview cemetery.
Mr.. Allison was born February IL,
1880, in Livingston county, Michigan,
where he grew to manhood. March 2,
1905 he was united in marriag. to
Miss Harriet Utter.
Soon after their. marriage Mr.. and
Mrs. Allison came west and settled at
Harrington, Wash, and in 1907 they
came to Kennewick. The tract Of land
which he purchased eight years ago
is now one Of the most productive
farms and attractive country homes
in the valley and Mr.. Allison won for
himself the distinction of being one of
the best and most successful farmers
in the valley. He was always firm
believer in the future of the Kenne-
wick country as one Of the leading ag-
ricultural districts of the Northwest
and on his own acres he proved the
soundness of this belief. His beauti-
full country home, just completed at
a cost Of several thousand dollars, and
his carefully cultivated farm are tes-
timonials to his tireless enterprise and
industry.
AS successful farmer, Mr.. Allison
was naturally leader in the rural at
fairs of the community. He was one
of the organizers Of the Kennewick
Valley club, was its first president and
it was largely thru his efforts that the
club house was built. He was MEM
ber Of the board Of directors Of The
Produce company and secretary Of the
agricultural advisory council Of the
county.
While living at Harrington Mr.. AL
lison united with the Baptist church
and he has been identified with the To-
cal Baptist church almost since its or
ganization and was always active in
church and Sunday school work.
Mr.. Allison leaves his widow, two
young sons, Leonard and Forrest and
a baby daughter, Dorothy, mother,
father, two sisters and brother.

a great fund of information on her

of the National League for Women's

triotism; to promote the efficiency Of
women in meeting their responsible
ties to home, state, nation and human
ity, to provide organized trained
groups prepared to supplement the
work of the Red Cross, the Army and
Navy and official government agencies.
The slogan is "For God, for Coun-
try and for Home
Branches are being formed in all
large cities and Kennewick is very for
!tunate in having Mrs.. Manning come
here to present this to the women of
the community and help them to or
ganize. .
The Kennewick branch particularly
wishes to cooperate with the organ
izations already established, to in
terest and encourage and instruct, If
necessary, women not already active
ly engaged in war work; to help to
place them in the service where their
particular work will be of the greatest
benefit. "Our members are for war

home, in the Red Cross, or in some
other organization" said Mrs. Man.
ming.
Insofar as it is possible we wish our
division to work strictly with any or
ganization here doing like work and
no new division will be organized
whose scope of work will be different
from that already being carried on
here. Under no circumstances will
any drive be made for raising funds,
except as anyone may wish to become
Ia member of the organization.
