Mrs. j. H. Martin entertained
at a children's party Sunday af-
ternoon in honor of her daughter
Dorothea's fourteenth birthday.
The rooms were beautifully de-
corated while a large frosted
cake in pink and white, carrying
out the st. Valentine idea, form
ed the center piece for the table
on which a luncheon was served
to the little guests. Afterward
a grab box containing pretty and
amusing gifts was a feature of
the program. Those present were
Misses Ruby and Pearl Serr, Ell
la Eggers, Eudora Mitchell, Mar
garet Davis, Julia and Blanche
Clements, Elizabeth and Helen
Dresser, Muriel Smith, Helen
Caldwell and Nellie Richter. The
hostess was assisted in enter
tanning by Miss Marjorie Cald-
well. -.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Martin are
in receipt of a letter from their
son Vic, who has been in the au-
tomobile business in Oregon,
stating that he has Joined the
army and will be home shortly
for a visit. His brother Jack
was one of the first Richland
boys to enlist in the navy and is
on a convoy which has already
made two trips to France.
The pupils of the high school
enjoyed an unlocked for holiday
Monday. Repair and overhaul
ing work on the plumbing in the
building made this necessary.
Prof. Jones, principal of the
grade schools, is confined to his
bed by an attack of chicken pox.
He cannot understand where he
contracted the disease, as there
is not a single case known in the
district. Mrs. A. S. Rosaaen,
who, previous to her. marriage,
taught for several years in the
local schools, has taken Prof.
Jones' place during his absence.
Miss Winnifred Darby spent
the week end with her parents in
Ethiopia.
Harry Wheelhouse is in Spo-
kane on a business trip.
Miss Evans enjoyed a visit
over Sunday from her sister who
is a member of the Kennewick
school faculty.
Mrs. Ganey Hogan of Kenne-
wick spent the week end as a
guest of her brother, Elmer
Hinkle and family.
The L. O. H. p. club gave a
costume party for its members
in the Anon hall Wednesday eve
ming, which was a very pleasant
affair.
The Fruitvale farmers are
poisoning forth into the auto
owning class at quite a great
rate. Within the past two weeks
James Kaas and c. M. Foster
have purchased new Ford run
abouts and are to be seen in town
much oftener than previously.
It is an easy matter to make the
trip from Fruitvale to Richland,
transact business and be home
again in an hour, while with a
team it was a half days job. 1t
also gives the farmers in the out
lying districts a chance to attend
meetings and entertainments in
town, which were impossible be-
fore.
The last number of the Lyce-
UNI course given Saturday eve
ming drew a smaller crowd than
usual, but was a very good enter
tainment. The course this time
paid for itself and a little better
so everybody is happy and no one
will have to go down in his
pocket for a deficit.
James Harriott will hold an
auction sale of his farm imple-
ments, stock, etc., on Saturday.
F. A. Friermood, who has been
attending Pullman college during
the past semester, returned to
his home in Richland Saturday.
Mr.. Friermood expects to lease
his place this year as he has had
a number of good offers which he
is considering and does not think
he will farm his tract personally
during the coming season.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Engler are
