Benton City Man is Chosen to
Succeed Commissioner f. l..
Bash i'm First District
TAKES THE OATH OF OFFICE
New Member is Recommended by
Joint Committee from Different
Sections of District

AT called meeting Of the board of
county commissioners this afternoon
F. L. Bash rendered his resignation as
commissioner from District No. 1.
The resignation was accepted and up
on vote of Commissioners French and
Pratt, S. J. Harrison, of Benton City,
was named as Mr.. Bash's successor.
Mr.. Harrison, who was present at
the meeting, accepted the appoint
ment, filed the required surety bond,
took the oath and was Immediately
inducted into office. IN
In rendering his resignation, Mr..
Bash made no recommendation as to
his successor and the appointment Of
Mr.. Harrison was made upon the rec
ommendation of a committee repre-
senting different sections of the first
district. AS result the new commits
sioner comes into office without OPP
position and with no factional strife
back of him.
Mr.. Harrison has made his home in
the Yakima Valley for years. He was
a factor in the upbuilding Of Sunny
side and is the "father" of Benton City
having been prominently identified
with the growth and development of
that little city since its beginning. He
is heavy taxpayer, careful, con-
servative business man and his ap-
pointment will undoubtedly meet with
the general approval of the citizens of
Benton county.
In assuming office at this time Mr..
Harrison does so with the feeling that
he is under obligations to carry out
the recommendations of the grand
jury insofar as they apply to the busi-
ness procedure of the county board.
Commissioners Pratt and French have
signified willingness to cooperate
with the new member toward this end.

FARM CAMPAIGN
GAINS MOMENTUM
When Farm Bureau Drive is
Over it will be Nearly 100
Per Cent Organization

The. Farm Bureau drive which was
started in the local district the
first of the week by "Spud" Cannon
and his organizers, is gaining momen-
tum with each succeeding day. AL
though no figures have been given
out by the workers there is every in
dication that when the campaign is
over the Farm Bureau will be the
nearest approach to a one-hundred-
percent organization that Benton
county has ever known.
Meetings held at the several COM
munity centers in this part of the
county have been well attended and
this morning Mr.. Cannon expressed
satisfaction with the manner in which
the campaign is progressing. His
only regret is that so few business
men have attended any of the meet
ings where the origin, aims, and the
growth of the Farm Bureau have been
explained. He points out that while
membership is limited to farm peo-
pie it is national movement which
means much to all the people.
Speaking of the activities of the
Farm Bureau in general way, Mr..
Cannon said: "We have many big
questions ahead Of us and we know
that we shall not be able to settle
them as quickly as we should like to
but we feel that in settling them, the
farmer, the laborer, the merchant,
the banker and the traffic man should
all sit at the table and each have
our say, so that the final settlement
may be fair to all. The trouble has
been that the farmers chair at the
table has been vacant. He left it to
the others to protect his interests and
they have had their own interests to
look after. The representative of the
Farm Bureau will henceforth occupy
this chair. His voice will be in sup
port of fair and equitable policy for
ali concerned, just as were the voices
of Washington, Lincoln and others of
his forefathers in other days.
"The questions of tariff, taxation,
railroad rates, methods of distribu-
tion, of financial credits and of edu-
cation are all ahead of us and it is
for us to face them like real Ameri-
can citizens and solve them.
"Every farmer in America should
ioin the Farm Bureau. 1t is not fight
ing, but helping all other farm or
carnations. 1t is to the farmer what
the American Federation of Labor is
to the labor union and what the
Chamber of Commerce is to the city
business man"

STUNT ARTISTS MAKE
GOOD AT BASEBALL SHOW
Steve Juhasz and His Bunch of Enter
tainers Give Vaudeville Fans
Moneys Worth

If there is any doubts as to "Steve"
Juhasz's ability as an entertainer,
certainly such doubts are not harbor-
ed by any who attended the baseball
benefit vaudeville which he staged at
the Liberty theatre last Friday even
ing. There is apparently but one
verdict on the show, cit was well
worth the money" For the most part
the acts We're short and snappy and
the program sufficiently varied as to
forestall monotony.
The scream Of the evening was A.
w. Craigue as "Kid Dugan." He
brought down the house and kept it
down until the curtain fell on his act.
Mr.. Juhasz' "Bunkology" act was
alone worth the price of admission.
As an entertainer he has most of the
so-called magicians who have come
Kennewick's way, backed off the
boards. Jack Custer and his knee
pants readings brought good laugh
and warmed up the good nature of the
audience.
Musical numbers We're given by the
Misses Albrecht and Cone, pupils of
Allen Smith, by Miss Jarshaw, direc-
tor of music in the Kennewick
schools, by Mr.. and Mrs. C. H. Hall,
of the Modern School of Music, and a
male quartet composed of Sam Coull,
J. ]. Georgeson, Fred and Herbert
Spiegelberg.
Plumb's Athletes in two good wrest-
ling bouts were good number for
those who find entertainment in ath-
letic contests. f.r -r.g .ra
As result of the show Manager
Joe Barrett has been enabled to take
a lot of slack out of last years base
ball deficit and take care of the pre-
liminary financing Of this years
team.

PASCO TAKES
PRACTICE GAME
Kennewick Fans well Pleased
with First Showing of Bar
ret's Bunch H -

In the first limbering up game of
the season Sunday afternoon Kenne-
wick's baseball team was defeated by
Pasco by score of 10 to A. Although
the locals drew the little end of the
score fans are of the opinion that
Kennewick has the foundation for a
mighty snappy team this year.
Sundays play as was to be expected
was ragged in spots. Whips were
weak, legs sore, batting eyes poor
but even so worse games have been
played on the local diamond. Frank
Morain was on the mound for Ken
newick and the score does not correct
ly reflect his work in the box. AZ
though he did not have the "sstyff
on the ball that he does whe1 his
arm is in mid-season trim, he had e.
cellent control and pitched a steady
game. That he did not win was fue to
holes behind him on the diamond and
in the outfield. One KennewicN play
er who needs offer no apology for
his Sunday performance is Phil
Schireman, center-fielder. He chased
down everything that came his way,
hit the ball and romped around the
bases only to die on third sack time
after time.
"Dutch" Seamens started the game
for Pasco but was recalled to give
Shelly an opportunity to work out
in the closing innings. Both men did
effective work.
Manager Joe Barrett is rapidly dis
posing of the preseason kinks and by
Nav first hopes to have everything
in readiness for the opening of the
league schedule May 1. Next Sunday
return game will be played with
Pasco on their grounds. The game
will be called at 800 p. M, and a
large delegation of Kennewick fans
expect to accompany the local team.
The afternoon of Thursday, April 2s
the University of Washington will play
here and Gonzaza is scheduled for
May 5. AS yet Manager Barrett mas
scheduled no game for April "a the
only open Sunday date before the
league season starts.
Last Sundays game was enliveneo
by the Kennewick band which rem
dered several selections during the
game. This was the first public ap.
pearance of the band for severa
months and its playing brought fortf
many expressions of commentator

only about $4,000 is due oustide con-
Germs, the balance being local obliga-
tions.
1t is admitted today that even with
the concessions which the outside
creditors are willing to make it will
be impossible to save the old organi-
cation. The chief stumbling block to
any rehabilitation program is the at
titude of the growers of the early
crops. They have been the mainstay
of the organization since its inception
and they are unwilling to assume
further responsibility for indebted
ness which they feel has been incurred
because of the unions attempt to
handle apples and other late crops.

TO HOLD EARLY !
CROPS TOGETHER
New Marketing Organization is
Formed to Handle Grass,
Strawberries, Potatoes

Although all efforts to rehabilitate
and keep in existence the Kennewick-
Richland Marketing Union have ap-
parently failed there is little doubt
but that the bulk of the asparagus,
strawberry and early potato crops of
the Kennewick-R -Richland district will
be held together for marketing pur-
poses.
Gefore the end of last week field
workers of the old marketing union
admitted that the effort to hold the
old organization together, by means
Of new contracts providing for turn
ing 10 per cent of this years crop into
the Indebtedness fund, had failed. AS
soon as this failure was apparent a
number of prominent growers issued
a call for meeting of all the grow
,ers for Saturday night.
There was no mistaking the senti-
ment of the growers who attended
Saturday nights meeting. They were
unanimously in favor of holding the
three early crops under one control
and to do this movement for new
organization was set on foot. An ex-
ecutive committee composed of G. A.
Mitchell, M. N. Hudnall and George
Anderson, of Kennewick, and Perry
Wlloughby and John Erickson, of
Richland, was named to canvass the
district and otherwise perfect the or
ganization.
The results of this committees work
were checked up last night, at which
time proposals from several selling
agencies were submitted. The COM
mittee's report showed that about 80
per cent of the Kennewick- -Richland
asparagus, strawberry, and early po-
tato acreage will be controlled by the
new organization. No effort will be
made to conduct selling organiza-
ton, but the new union will adopt the
plan followed by the old one during
the first years of its existence. The
union will superintend the assembling
and preparation of the crop for mar
ket and enter into contract with
some existing selling organization.
Propositions of this kind have been
submitted by the Yakima Valley Fruit
Growers association, the Kennewick-
Richland Fruit Growers company,
Pennington & Company, H. H. Davis
and White Brothers & Crum. These
proposals will be further considered
at meeting of the board this even
ing. ..
A new effort to save the old union
from collapse was started this week
with the arrival in the city of repre-
sentatives of box, spray, fertilizer,
and other companies which have
claims against the organizations.
These men came to the city in the
hope that if additional time were CIV
en- on the unions outstanding accounts
IL could be kept in business. The un-
IONS financial statement shows a de-
flcit of about $4,000. Of this amount

AS the result of one Of the foolest

I'm quite willing they should be
girls" said Mr.. Branch, ''for girls are
all right and since these wards are too
far away to acquire American fashions,
including lip sticks, powder puffs silk
hosiery and innumerable other things
that are required to make American girls
happy, the arrangement Will do nicely
DR.. Clarence d. Royse, State director
Of the Armenian appeal, has informed
the Branch family that it will be impos-
