TURN WATER OUT
OF CANAL JULY 2
Big Ditch will be Emptied to
Kill the Weeds Minor Break
in Flume No. /

It's going to be dry Fourth, insofar
as irrigation water is concerned. Tn,
water will be cut out of the canal OF
the evening Of July 2nd. Deliveries
will be discontinued west Of Kenne.
wick by the morning of July Srd and
east of Kennewick by the evening Of
July 3rd. Water will again be turn
ed into the canal on the morning Of
July 9TH and deliveries resumed west
of Kennewick the same evening and
for east of Kennewick on the morning
of the 9th.
This is being done in order that the
weeds in the canal system can be
killed, as they are giving considerable
trouble and are very expensive to re-
move by chaining or any other meth
cd other than turning out the water.
The time chosen was decided upon be-
cause the town Of Kennewick ana sur
rounding community will celebrate op
July 4th and with the water off it
will give everybody an opportunity to
get away for this day and for this
reason will be less inconvenient to the
water users than at any other time
during the summer.
A break in flume J., which, had it
not been discovered promptly, would
have resulted disastrously to growing
crops, occurred yesterday morning.
AS soon as the break was discovered
The water was turned thru the 3spill
ways and by evening the damage was
repaired and the water turned back in.

1t Is Expected that Celebration
Will Bring Largest Crowd
Town Ever Had
EVERYBODY MUST PLAY HOST
Chairman Brown Says It's Up to the
People of Community to Cooper
ate with the Committeeman.

"It is going to be big undertaking
to find eating accommodation for the
celebration crowd. We want to avoid
if possible, having the people stand
for hours ia line at the cver2worked,
overrcrowded eating houses waiting
for h meal. The ladies of the Meth
lodist church, at the request Of the
committee, have consented to serve
meals in the church dining room and
the ladies Of the Christian church will
serve meals, lunches and ice cream IN
the sample room Of the Commercial
Hotel and also all those who
wish to bring their own baskets win
be provided with comfortable places
to spread their lunches. To do this
we are going to commander the shad-
ed parkinEs in the residence sections.
Further than this, we want those who
have suitable lawns to offer them for
use on that day. We are going to pre-
pare placards reading: sCelebration
Visitors Welcome Here All those
who are willing to have their lawns
placarded are requested to call Mrs.
Sly, who is chairman of the comforts
committee"
It is expected that by the evening
of the third everything wiz be in
readiness for staging the celebration
insofar as it is possible for the com
mittees to make such arrangements.
The grounds committee have already
started work getting Yakima street
and the surrounding property in shape
for the events that are to, be etaged
there. J. c. Leibee, of the committee,
said this afternoon that his committee
would be ready to report @inished1
the evening Of the third.
Chairman E. M. Sly, of the decora-
tions committee, wishes to urge the
business men to dress up their store
fronts. "This is going to be the biggest
celebration Kennewick has ever had,
and it is up to us to put on our very
best dress,v said Mr.. Sly. 'It was
never intended that the decorating
committee should decorate the store
fronts. That's up to the individual
and we wish to urge the business men
not to put off their decorating plans
but to get busy right now with ideas
and begin getting materials together.

Liberty Bond Holders
Warned Against Trading
Numbers of Z. S. Securities Be.
ing Exchanged for Worthless
Stocks, Cows Glass

WASHINGTON. Nov. EXAMINATIONS
that large numbers OF Liberty bond
holders are trading their government
securities for stock in fras VEN
lures prompted Secretary .: ,ns Treas-
ury Glass to renew tonight his re-
cent warning to bondholders against
being persuaded into such exchanges.
In a formal statement Mr.. Class as
serted the high rate OF return upon
some of these stocks was in itself
sufficient to arouse suspicion.
"Where Liberty bond holders arc
urged to give up their securities for
stocks of speculative character" he
said, good sense suggests the pre-
sumption the offer is made because the
Liberty bonds are worth decidedly more
than the stock. Experience in great
number of cases shows the stock is
worthless, and the bond owner who
makes the exchange is simply another
victim to the army of sharpers who
find easy booty in these days of recb-
less specula ton.
"Self-interest and good business
Judgment should decide in favor of the
holding Of Liberty bonds, which are
declared by those most experienced in
investment to be the worlds best Sc
curty.
ut is the duty of citizens in every
community to sound the warning
against fraudulent operators in gov
eminent securities at this time, when
we can i'll afford to dissipate oar re-
sources for the profit Of the unscIupu-
lous few"
