KENNEWICK'S
XMAS QUIET
AND MERRY
To Be Few Public Functions but
Numerous Family and Fire
.'' side Gatherings
PROGRAMS AT THE CHURCHES
Gifts May be Less Expensive than
Usual, but Spirit of Giving
Will Not Suffer

Kennewick's Christmas will not be
a noisy or spectacular one, but there
is every reason to believe it will be
none the less merry. But few public
functions have been scheduled for the
holiday week and for the most part
the great world holiday will be OBJ
served within the family circle. Al
tho there is not as much ready money
in the community as usual at this
time of year, and many of the people
are feeling the pinch of reduced fl
nances, there are but very few cases
of acute poverty and actual privation.
The health of the community gener-
ally is excellent and altho gifts may
not be as elaborate or as expensive
as in former years, the spirit of the
giving will lose none of its fine senti-
ment and on the whole Kennewick's
Christmas will be merry.
Without exception the churches of
the city have arranged special Christ
mas services and exercises. Some of
the programs follow:

JONATHANS ARE
AGAIN STRIPED
State Grade and Pack Conference
Puts Them Back in Former ,
Classification

With the exception of few minor
changes the 1921 grade and pack rules
for Washington apples will be much
the same as in 1919. The one provis-
ion in the new rules which is undoubt-
edly of greatest interest to growers
in this district is the restoration of
the Jonathan apple to the striped red
variety. Last year it was in the solid
red variety and as result the extra
fancy Jonathan in this district was
practically wiped out. Next year ions
will again be striped with 66 2-3 per
cent in the extra fancy and 25 per cent
in the fancy.
At the state conference in Spokane
last week the Wenatchee delegation
held the whip hand and went down
the line in favor of three e-grade pack
while the Yakima valley delegation
favored only two grades. This years
unclassified grade was given the axe
and the restrictions on the C-grade
were made less stringent.
This grade will include all market
able apples not included in the extra
fancy and fancy. No broken bruises
will be permitted, but unbroken
bruises not more than one inch in
diameter will be allowed.
The meeting went on record as fa-
foring the stand of the last legisla.
ture in voting down the Gelatley Gull
apple bill.
This district was represented at the
conference by H. w. Desgranges and
j. w. Vickers.

CREAMERY
UNDER NEW
MANAGEMENT
w. l.. Nettleship of Seattle is In
Charge of Cooperative
Concern
HOPE TO INCREASE OUTPUT
New Manager will Launch Campaign
to Line up All Cream in
the Valley

w. l.. Nettleship, of Seattle, has
been engaged as manager of the Ken
newick Cooperative Creamery to
succeed w. S. Mansfield. The new
manager comes recommended not on
ly as one Of the best creamery men
in the state, but as a wide-awake, en-
terprising business man. He was per-
sonally recommended for his present
position by o. C. VanHouten, state
dairy inspector. a .. . @ .~.s.
Mr.. Nettleship has had years of
experience in the creamery and dairy
ing business and is familiar alike with
the milking, manufacturing and mar
keting departments. He is graduate
of the University Of Arkansas and
since coming to Washington has held
positions with the Canyon Milk Pro-
ducts company and the Westlake
Dairy company of Seattle.
Mr.. Nettleship will at once begin
campaign to restore the confidence of
the dairymen and to bring the cream
cry back to the popularity it former
ly enjoyed alike with the cream pa
irons and the butter buyers. He will
give special attention to cream tests
to the end that the farmers may re-
ceive full value for their product. He
hopes also to cooperate with the
dairymen with the view to getting
the cream to the creamery in the best
possible condition.
The new manager is enthusiastic
as to the possibilities of maintaining
thriving and growing creamery
here. He sees no reason why, with
careful testing, proper methods of
manufacture, judgment in marketing,
the local creamery should not provide
never-failing and satisfactory mar
ket for all the cream produced in this
valley from White Bluffs to the lower
limits Of Benton county.

BRIDGE FUND
REACHES $4,000
Local Committee Hopes to Make
Kennewick's Total at Least
Forty Thousand

The committee in charge of the To-
cal bridge campaign is determined to
bring Kennewick's total Subscriptions
to stock up to the $4,000 and to Sc
cure an additional $4,000 in the
towns and communities of Benton
county.
At noon total subscriptions report
ed amounted to $4,000 and several
s, .icltors had yat :, cash in on several
promises. These promised subscrip-
tions together with several of the
early subscribers who stand ready to
increase their subscriptions, it is
thought, will put the campaign over
the $4,000 mark.
E. w. Trenbath received word the
first of the week that $500 had been
subscribed in Grandview. AS yet
Prosser has not reported the sale of
any stock. Assisted by H. w. Des-
oranges, the Richland committee will
start their canvass this week and i'm
mediately after the holidays the CAM
paign will be extended to Hanford and
White Bluffs. These towns are not
on the Inland Empire highway, but a
number of the up-river men have
shown a keen interest in the enter
prise and have requested that the
campaign be carried to their commun-
tiles.
w. R. Paxton, Of the firm of Paxton
Brothers, of Walla Walla, who was in
Kennewick Tuesday, predicted that
Walla Walla would come thru with its
quota. He was greatly impressed with
the enthusiastic spirit Of the Kenne-
wick people and before leaving for his
home left his check for one share OF
stock to be applied on Kennewick's
quota.
The last report from Pasco brought
word that the neighbors at the other
end of the bridge had showed their to.
tai to $63, 500 and were still going.
"a more inopportune time could
not possibly have been selected for
making the campaign" said Mr.. Tren-
bath today. "Last year at this time
we could have reached 100000 with
half the work we have given to the
present campaign. But in spite OF
the handicap under which we are now
working we are going to build that
bridge. The undertaking has now
reached that stage where we simpl,
cannot let it fail.

STAMP SALE HEAVY

In spite Of the fact that generally
Christmas shopping has been slow this
year, Tuesday was the largest day the
Kennewick postoffice has ever had.
Receipts from stamp sales that day
exceeded the former high days re-
cord by several dollars. 'Not only
did we sell more stamps, but we lick
cd more," said Postmaster Averill
Beavers. "For the most part the
stamps We're for postage on Christmas
packages and consequently the post
office force had to do most Of the
licking"
