problems to considerable extent.
"Next season it is planned to have
a capacity sufficient to water all lands
within the District. While probably
not more than sixty-five to seventy
per cent will be under cultivation at
that time and the capacity of the canal
will permit the giving of excess water
to any parties who desire it, it will
be well to keep in mind the fact that
the district will sooner or later face
Ii serious problem in the way of drain
age on some lands which are now free
from these troubles. For this reason
every effort should not only be made

it is the policy of the district to try

taken to see that your actual needs are
attended to as soon as possible"

146TH ARTILLERY
IS SLATED FOR
EARLY RETURN
Indications are that Regiment
Will Reach West by Last
of June
JEFF" is NOW A MAJOR
Walla WaIIa Asks War Department
W.. to Route Boys thru There on a
g. Way to Camp Lewis ..

Good cheer was brought this week
to the hearts of relatives and friends
of the boys of the 146th Field Artil-
lery, when the news came that the
regiment is due for an early return
home. A cablegram received by M.
M. Moulton from Frank r. jeffrey
brought the news that he had been
promoted to the rank Of major and
expects to sail by the last of the
month. Letters received from the en-
listed men say that they expected to
start home about the twentieth of the
month. Today's official news from
Washington, d. c., says the regiment
is listed for early convoy, but no date
of sailing is given.
A cablegram received this week by
Mrs. Paul Weyrauch from Col. Wey-
rauch, commanding the regiment, says
they will be home the middle or last
of June.
No soone. had the Fourth of July
celebration committee received word
that Major Jeffrey would probably be
home by the Fourth than they wrote
him down as the orator of the day.
AS soon as word comes that he has
landed in this country the committee
will wire him to get busy on his
speech.
That Walla Walla is laying plans
for grabbing the 146th is indicated by
the following from the columns of the
Walla Walla Bulletin.
President John w. Langdon, of the
Commercial Club, now in Pittsburg,
Pa, on business, has been requested
by the trustees of the club by tele-
graph to proceed to Washington, d. c.,
before returning home and extend ev-
cry effort to have the Second Battalion
of the 146th Field Artillery and Colo
mel PaulsH. Weyrauch routed thru
Walla Walla on their way to Camp
Lewis for discharge. The plan is to
have the battalion come west by way
of Walla Walla and stop off here,
either for day or several days, as
army rules will allow, SO that big
Homecoming demonstration can be
held while the battalion is together in
one unit.
As this plan would in no way inter-
fere with military procedure or dis
charge at Camp Lewis, simply delay
ing it the amount of time the battalion
is here, it is thought that Secretary
of War Baker will be glad to grant
Walla Walla's request, and if he does,
the occasion of the battalion's arrival
will be made the most memorable one
in the history of the city4 1t is
highly probable that such arrival date
will be pretty close to the Fourth of
July, in which case it is suggested by
some that the demonstration be a
Fourth of July celebration and well
come home, all in one.
That the consent of the war depart
ment to routing the battalion by way
of Walla Walla and allowing it
short stay in this city, will be Sc
cured, is evidenced by letter recently
written by General Peyton c. March,
chief of staff, to Senator Miles Poin-
dexter.
General March said that while it
would be impossible to muster out the
battalion in Walla Walla because of
its lack of garrison supplies and ac-
commodations, arrangement salts
fctory to the Walla Walla Commercial
club would be made" ~

MORE OVERSEAS
BOYS ARE HOME
Several Kennewick Boys who
Saw Active Service on West
ern Front Return

Several more of Kennewick's over
seas boys have returned home. Frank
Driscoll, 18th engineers Railway, ar
rived from Camp Lewis Sunday morn
ing. Frank was in the outfit that
built the big docks at Bordeaux and
performed a lot of other construction
stunts which opened the eyes of the
French people. He wears three over
seas service stripes. Lyle Johnson,
of the same regiment, has been dis
charged and is now at his home in Sc
attic. Fred Phillips, who has been ill
much of the time since he enlisted, is
still in the hospital.
Howard Lincoln, who helped put the
Marines on the map at Chateau Thier-
ry and elsewhere on the fighting front,
is home on a sixty-day furlough but
hopes to receive his discharge at the
end of that time. Howard was in
several of the big mixups but came
thru without a scratch.
Archie Feeley and Lawrence Erick-
son, who went to France with the 146
F. A., and were later transferred to
the $50 F. A., received their dis
charges at Camp Lewis Friday. Ar
chic arrived home Saturday, but Law
renee went to Seattle to visit rela-
tives.
John Lauterbach, who saw years
almost continuous action at the front
in an observation outfit, is here for a
few days visit. Johns job was to
operate an anti-aircraft machine gun.
He says bagging big game on the fly
is sure some sport.
Harlan Muncey, who returned to his
home in, Richland Tuesday brings the
news that the troop train on which he
came to Camp Lewis was in charge of
Lieut.. Arthur Forsythe, who enlisted
in Battery E, of the 146th and went
to France as its sergeant major.

LOCAL CHURCH Is
OVER THE TOP
Local MethOdists Pledge their
Share of Centenary Fund
First Day of Drive

Last Sunday was great day for
the local Methodist church, it being
the first day of the much advertised
Centenary drive. Kennewick's share
of the 5,O0O,OOO being raised for
missions and war reconstruction work
is about S14O0 year for a fve-year
period, making total of nearly ST.
900. 1t was found on Sunday night
that this amount had been nearly
raised, few subscriptions that have
been coming in since completing the
amount and giving small margin
for safety. In addition the church in
the same drive has raised about two
hundred dollars for benevolences not
covered by the Centenary.
At the Sunday morning service, all
the Minute Men, except R. F. Hanke,
who is convalcscing in the Deaconess
Hospital in Spokane, gave ive-min-
ute inspirational addresses and vol
untary subscriptions amounting to
moro than half the quota were re-
ceived. Speakers were A. ]. Cope
land, R. H. Briggs, w. T. Tracy, J..
F. Kinds, F. A. Dunlap. Four mcm-
bers were received into the church at
the same service. The canvassing
team lunched together at the church
and then went after the absentee men,
bers. At the Epworth Leaugue serv-
ice in the evening eight young people
took the pledge of membership in the
League. At the preaching service the
newly organized young peoples choir
sang, the pastor preached and reports
from the canvassing teams were re-
ceived.
The next big move on the part of,
this church will probably be for new
and adequate building, but this cam
paign will not take place earlier than
next fall. 1t is expected that consid-
cradle help in this matter will be re-
ceived from the Home Missionary
funds of the Centenary.
At the request of members of the
local church the brief talk by Minute
Man w. T. Tracy is published in full
as follows:
As this is the first day of the big
Centenary drive which is to be carried
on thruout the United States, this
coming week, what shall have to say
will be along the line of stewardship.
l am in receipt of letter from the
treasurer of the Portland area, of
which this district is part, in which
he says he has received $146,000 in
money and pledges, which still leaves
balance of two million four hundred
fifty-four thousand dollars yet to be
raised, of which our portion is 1887
per year for five years. This is quite
sum for US to raise, over and. above
our church budget and benevolences;
it will therefore be well for each of
us to examine ourselves carefully and
see if we are giving to God that por-
ton of our incomes which rightfully

SCHOOL CLUB WORK
WELL ORGANIZED
Youngsters are Getting Down
to Work Under Direction of
Mr.. Marble

E. L. Marble, head of the agricul-
tural department in the Kennewick
schools, reports that the Kennewick
boys and girls are showing unusually
good interest in the club work this
year.
The following clubs have been or
ganized and IRE getting right down
to business: garden, com, sugar beet,
potato and flower, comprise the list
of plant growing clubs; sheep, pig,
rabbit, poultry, calf and bee make the
list of animal growing or production
clubs.
The girls are highly interested in
the sewing club, which is to be led by
Miss Mabel Green, the county club
leader. Miss Green will be very busy
looking after her county work but
rather than let the thirty girls want
ing to take up the sewing club work be
disappointed she has gladly added this
to her duties and is very anxious to
get the club at work. The first meet
ing will be held at the high school on
Wednesday, Mary %, at IL o'clock.
Every member should be there for this
first meeting so that Miss Green will
know that she has good club to
work with.
The garden club members will be
interested to know that Mr.. Marble
has package of sugar beet seed for
each of them who can use it. 1t is
late for planting sugar beets, but by
soaking the seed for few hours and
planting the seed in moist soil it will
be possible to mature the plants and
to have some large ones for the ex-
hibit this fall. Sugar beets may be
used as table beets, made into syrup
or fed to the hogs or cattle.
Look out for weeds! Some gardens
need hoe with a boy or girl holding
the handle!
Thin your plants if they are too
thick to grow to their full size.
The canning club will meet at the
high school on Tuesday afternoon a
one o'clock. The work for the day will
be the making of strawberry sun pre-
serves and gooseberry jelly.
For the sun preserves each girl will
bring an equal weight of clean ripe
berries and sugar and a vessel of some
sort to take the preserves home in for
finishing. There will be some finished
sun preserves at the meeting and each
girl will start some of her own.
For the gooseberry jelly an equal
amount of juice an sugar is needed,
so bring sufficient amount. Any left
over may easily be taken home. You
should have some glasses in which to
put your finished jelly. Mrs. Marble
will direct the preserving and jelly
making at this meeting.
Any girls interested in this work
are cordially invited to come and take
part even tho you are not yet enrolled
as a club member. These sun pre-
serves are easy to make and are very
delicious, so you should by no means
miss this meeting. IL &e,+ ~
