Mrs. Elmer Dixon, who has been i'll
for the past two weeks, became so
I much worse that her mother was call
ed from Yakima to attend her. The
elder lady had no more than arrived
on the scene when she had the misfor-
tune to fall off the back porch and Sc
verely fracture her arm. However,
we are glad to report at this time that
both patients are on the fair road to
recovery.
A large crowd of Richland farmers
are expecting to attend the rabbit
/ drive Friday. This will be new de-
! parture for this district as the rabbits
will not be shot; in fact no one is sup
posed to bring gun but they will be
| herded into corrals and dubbed to
death, the meat later being disposed of
| in a market already provided for.
| Jack Martin, SON of Mr.. and Mrs.
| J. H. Martin of Richland, who was
recently discharged from the navy and
who is now located in Seattle, writes
to his parents that he has enrolled as
la student in the University of Wash
ington, taking a special course in ma
rine engineering and expects, by ear;
nest application in his studies, to COM
plete the work this year.
| Joseph Gariglietti and family, who
recently disposed of their large farm
at Richland as well as all their effects
at public auction, left Friday for the
East enroute for their old home at
Naples, Italy, where Mrs. Garilietti
has fallen heir to valuable estate.
O. H. Luelloff, of the Fruitvale
district, who was formerly known as
the turkey" ling of this section, has
branched out into other fields. Mr..
Luelloff has no turkeys this year, but
he sure has some apples. One speci-
fmen, of the Stayman Winesap variety,
weighs % ounces and measures 14%
inches in circumference at it's widest
lpart. Mr.. Luellof says that this ap-
pie grew on a branch all by itself but
that on the same tree, which was sew
en- years old, he took off four boxes
of extremely large apples. The rea-
son that he has discontinued the tur-
key business is not that.it is unpro-
tfitable, simply that his orchard is now
coming into full bearing and his al
lfalfa has reached such stage that
! the turkeys do too much damage to
lallow of his keeping them to any ex-
tent.
C. S. Foster of Fruitvale, disposed
of considerable live stock and farm
equipment on Wednesday at his auc-
| ton sale.
The auditorium was packed Satur-
day night when the high school stu
dents presented the comedy, "Mr.
Bob" Many persons were forced to
stand turnout the evening, but it was
well worth the effort. The young
people took in over $50 at the door,
which will be turned over to the stu
dent body for disbursement. The aft
fair was great success but the real
star was Harold Willmsen, who be-
came so mixed in his identity due to
the various names heaped upon him
during the progress of the farce that /
his many friends are still trying to
figure out just where Harold did
head in" He enacted his role in |
manner which would have done credit |
to seasoned comedian and was ably |
backed up by the balance of the cast,
the work of Dorothy Kelley and Ar
thur Dunning being especially COM
mendable. Mrs. William Van Houte,
who trained the young people thruout
the entire progress Of, their prepare
ton, is indeed to be congratulated on
the success which attended the under
taking: Without exception it is the
best ever put on in the local high
school.
