USE CENTRAL LAKES
That Is Swimming Suggestion Made
by DIR. Eva Harding.

Holding that hand raised, pampered
city parks good for nothing except to
look at WHOM the flowers are in bloom,
DR.. Eva Harding suggests that the
lakes in Central park be opened to
the public for swimming, relieving
congestion at Gage and Ripley parks.
1t is her idea, and it is also the idea
of many other people, that it is better
to make the park a real pleasure spot
rather than a show place with a few
flowers in season, some shrubs and
trees

War Coinage in Germany.

Due TO metal shortage Germany has
Instituted iron coinage. The fraction
al mark coins are no longer Of copper
and nickel, but are forgings of Sic
mems Martin steel. The coinage OF
copper was discontinued In 1917. Alu-
minum had been coined to small ex-
tent before the war; the smallest
coins, one and two pfennig pieces, are
now made of aluminium, which is more
attacked by ordinary water, soda,
salts, ETC., than by distilled water.
Zinc coins have recently been intro
duced Zinc coins had been used In
French Indo-China; they are again
more apt to corrode, especially when
impure with lead, cadmium and iron,
in distilled water than in ordinary wa
ter; they turn yellow-brown, but as
sumo pleasant gray tint in soda and
salt. On the whole, the cheapest iron
coins have answered best.-Engineer-
ing.

Helen Diatrich and Miss Thelma
Mountain, formerly of Richland, were
among the graduates. s
Friends in Richland will be interest
ed to learn of the marriage of Mrs.
George Reeder to E. H. Sargent of

was wounded in the neck by Hun
bullet but now seems to haye thoroly
recovered from the effects of the in

who turned out to greet him on his
return are wishing him success and
prosperity upon his return to civilian
life.

DOBsoN-RELToN

A wedding ceremony was solem-
nized Thursday morning at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Relton which
Joined the lives of two of the most
popular and best known young people
in this section of the Columbia River
valley.
The bride, Miss Lulu Dobson, for
three years in charge of the primary
department of the Richland schools
and last year in the same position in
the Pasco schools, has endeared her
self> to everyone in Richland by her
loveable disposition, tact and untiring
efforts on behalf of the little ones in
her charge.
The groom, Sydney Relton, son of
Postmaster and Mrs. William Relton,
has always been among the most pop
ular of the younger set hereabouts,
taking an active part in all social and
community movements. He was re-
Gently discharged from the service at
Camp Lewis.
The beautiful Relton home was de-
corated for the occasion with masses
of flowers and foliage. Rev. H. r.
R. Stone, of the Methodist church per-
formed the wedding ceremony in the
presence of immediate relatives.
The popularity of the young people
was evidenced by the number of beau
tiful and valuable gifts which they re-
ceived from the friends who knew of
the climax of their romance, among
them being a substantial check from
the brides father, a retired farmer
residing at Spokane, and a deed for
a 54-acre farm north of Richland from
the groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
Relton.
The bride wore travelling suit of
L'ac Pekin satin, with hat to match.
The young people left on the noon
train for California. where they will
spend the next three weeks, returning
via Portland for the Rose Carnival.
Later they will make their permanent
home at Richland.
1t goes without saying that two
people starting in life blessed with
the good wishes of host of friends
and also by the handsome gifts of rel.
atives and friends, will be assured of
all future prosperity and happiness.

The Jitney Still Jits

Recent articles on the war tax just
levied on soft drinks, CONNECTIONS, etc.,
have given rise to some misunder-
standings, and the VIM. Wrigley, Jr.,
Company issues a statement to the
effect that the $50 tax on chewing gum
does not affect the retail dealer or the
consumer. Mr.. Wrigley explains that
the manufacturers stand this tax and
there should be, no change in the price
charged you for your package of
Wrigley's Spearmint, Doublemint, OF
Juicy Fruit. In other words, the jit-
ney still jits. Thanks, Mr.. Wrigley.

Haying and strawberry picking are
vieing with each other this week in an
effort to see which will come out ahead
and if there is an IDLE boy or man, to
say nothing of woman or girl, in this
part of the valley, we would like to
see them. In fact, some of the straw
berry growers have lost several
crates of berries every day due to the
fact that they could not secure suf-
fcient help to harvest the quickly rip
ening fruit. Fred Johnson, Magnus
Lindskog, Carl Willis, C. d. Mitchell,
Simon Carlson and many other grow
ers who are most extensively engaged
in the berry business, report a record
crop and are shipping from 40 to SO
crates day. With the price still
around $4 a crate we see where a
number of Richards ranchers will be
placing old "Lizzie" in the scrap heap
and poisoning forth in a limousine
within very short time. The hay
crop is record breaker and the first
cutting is unusually heavy. 1t will
be all in the stack this week and then
the farmers will sit pat and await the
big prices this fall.
