LIBRARY THRIVES
WITH 13 MEMBERS
Number of Volumes and Read
ers Are Steadily Increasing
Annual Meeting Held.

There must not be anything un-
lucky about the number thirteen, for
with total membership of 13 the
Kennewick Library association has
been able to maintain a free public
library which is rendering steadily
increasing service to the community.
The report of the librarian SUBJ
mitted at the annual meeting Tuesday
evening brought out the fact that for
the year ending January 31st, 1920
the total receipts from membership
dues were $3.50 or 13 members at so
cents each. And Of this membership
not more than half take an active
interest in the affairs of the associa-
tion. Yet the library has on its
shelves 2164 volumes and its readers
number 900, most of whom are the
boys and girls Of the community. The
association finished the year with a
balance of $72.87 in the treasury and
all debts paid.
The success Of the little institu-
tion has been largely due to the un-
tiring efforts of Mrs. H. E. Hunting
ton, librarian, Mrs. M. M. Moulton,
Mrs. E. M. Sly and a few other in
dividuals and to the liberality. of the
Kennewick Woman's club. Among
the cash doners is the Business Girls
club but the names Of the men and
the mems organizations are notice
ably CONSPICUOUS by their absence. The
only man who is credited with cash
donation is E. w. Trenbath. Since
the first of the year, E. o. Keene is
credited with a donation of $72.36,
the earnings of the fuel administrat-
or.
The library is rapidly outgrowing
its present quarters and at Tuesdays
meeting it was voted to build more
shelving and magazine rack.
Officers for the year were elected
as follows: Rev. H. ]. Wood. pres
ident; E. w. Trenbath, vice pres
ident; G. w. Sherk, treasurer; Mrs.
E. o. Keene, secretary; F. j. Arnold,
Mrs. e. M. Sly and Mrs. M. M. Moul-
ton, trustees; Mrs. H. E. Huntington,

sistant librarian; Mrs. M. M. Moul-
ton, Mrs. E. M. Sly and Mrs. J. II.

for. The weather was ideal, tLe,

ly contested, and every one of the six
teams showed a lot of pep and class.
The Kennewick- -Richland !. team
opened in Pasco and drew the snisll
end OF two to one score after having
lost beautiful chance for tie with
the bases full and only one down. A
glance at the detailed score is con-
vincing enough that the two teams
are very evenly matched in every de-
partment of the game, and some reaE
thrillers may be expected as the
season advances. The pitching honors
were even between Moss for Pasco
and Lake for the locals. Each allow
ed six singles and two-bagger. All
in al the game was one of the best
exhibitions which the two towns of
the Columbia have put up in recent
years.
Equally good quality ball was put
up by the league teams further up the
valley. Wapato handed Toppenish a
two to 0 shutout and Sunnyside de-
feated Grandview to 1.
Sundays game has put local fans
right up on their toes and not since
the old boom days of 1908 and 1909
has Kennewick shown SO much base
ball enthusiasm. Everybody from
Manager Doan down to the mascot
has been busy this week and when
Pasco comes over Sunday they are
promised not only reversal of score
but one of the largest crowds that
has ever assembled at the local diam
ond. Restaurants, confectionery
shops and other business houses which
keep open Sundays have agreed to
close up during the game which will
be called at 2:15 instead of 800 o.
clock. The earlier hour has been
agreed upon SO that Pasco people who
come over for the game may return
on No. a at 4:50. The lineup of local
team has not been announced but it
will probably be the same as last
Sunday.

Most Popular Young ady to,
Dedicate New Liberty Theatre

To the young lady whom the peo-
pie of Kennewick and surrounding
country designate will go the honor of
formally dedicating the new Liberty
Theatre which is nearing completion
at Second and Yakima streets. Nor
is it to be an empty honor as Manager
w. A. Baker announces that to the
winning young lady he will present
pass which will entitle her to free
admission to all attractions given in
the theatre for a period of one year
from the opening date. This will
entitle the holder to admission to the

as all other attractions regardless of
the price of admission. The monetary
vale of the pass is approximately
$3.50.
