And as for that. l am rather
glad. for 1 dread TO see long skirts
ia fashion again. They can't be too
short for me, / can tell you. When
remember the trailing skirts we
used to wear, I'm ashamed TO think
ever followed the fashion. l wish
the waists were little higher in the
neck though, especially for the girls
with necks that would be a little
better for the hiding-just a little
bit of lace or crepe or something
that would give the imagination
chance.
The wearing of pumps and
slipper-like shoes on the street keeps
up, and-well. il may do on streets
as smooth as silk and as clean as
can be, but for ordinary wear l
like a shoe with a good sole. But
the hats. as l said, are too fine for
words"
The girls of the family were de-
lighted, for they knew in their
hearts that their generous aunt
would take the three of them to the
milliner's and buy for each a beau
tiful hat before she left for her
mountain home.
you see" said Aunt Sue, II have
no children of ny own-no one to
spend my money on-and l love to
come and pick and choose for you
girls Just what you want, once in
while. And of all the things you
could wear this year, hats, I say,
are the most lovely"
At last we got time to ask Aunt
Sue about the girl she rescued
from the millinery shop last fall and
took her home with her The girl
was so thing and pale and peaked,
TO use Aunt Sues expression, that
we all wondered how she could stand
her hard life Of trying on hats
the world of fashion day after day.
Aurt Sue didn't take out her in
terest in wondering. She talked with
poor Rose Marie until the two be-
came well acquainted. and then,
some way. she coaXed the girl 10 go
home with her for long visit.
We heard little about Rose Marie
since she left the city. and now were
anxious 10 hear the report of Aunt
Sue
Rose Marie's Transformation.
! Rose Marie is well and happy
said Aunt Sue. she has learned to
drink milk from my Jersey COW,
land she makes bread and biscuits
+ and cake. She sets the table and
always has a bouquet in the mid
die Of IL. and she doesn't have 10
look a. a hat unless she wants to.
She keeps all your Uncle Homer's
accounts, and rides with him every
time he goes 10 town. She has
learned to drive the automobile, and
every hen and chicken OF the place
every cat. dog. horse and COW knows
and loves her She is well and has
rosy cheeks and bright eyes, and
that isn't all.
Young Grant Hathaway has seen
those rosy cheeks and shining eyes.
and can tell YOU there's going TO
Ter a wedding in my house some day
Grant is as good man as ever
stepped."
"Oh. Aun. Sue" we ali cried.

Il certainly shall" said Aunt Sue.

Judge Rudkin Rules that Assess
ments Against Lockwood
Lands are Valid

Judge Rudkin, of the district federal
court, this week, dismissed the case
of C. M. Lockwood, of Salem, VS.. the

er assessment against MS GU acres of
land along the Yakima river above
Richland and from selling the land
to satisfy delinquent assessments,

Carroll Graves, of Seattle, represent
ing the plaintiff and M. M. Moulton,

this city representing the district.
The effect of the federal courts rul-
ing is to hold the land in the district

SHOOT WATER TO
PEAR ORCHARDS
Now is Time to Water Heavily
Smith Warns Growers to
Watch for Fire Blight

County Horticulturist w. S. Smith
says the pear crop this fall will de.
pand largely upon the amount of wat
er the trees get during the next two
or three weeks. He urges growers
to give their orchards little addition
al water if possible.
"Fire blight is showing up in some
of the orchards, mostly in pears, Spit
benberg and Jonathan apples" says
Mr.. Smith.
"The blight may take several forms
as blossom blight, twig blight, spur
blight, cankers or it may go to the
fruit. All of these various froms with
the exception of the fruit show the
characteristic browning of the wood
with whiting of the leaves and finally
turning brown as if burned, also all
of the forms show the oozing of a
sticky brown substance from the
blighted areas. This substance con-
tains millions of blight bacteria.
"To control this disease a regular
inspection of the orchard at least. once
week will be necessary. Cut out all
blighted parts. Disinfect the pruning
took after each cut with corrosive sub
Innate 1-1000 Il tablet in pint OF
water) and it is better to disinfect
the wound with cyanide of mercury
1-1000. Burn all prunings.
"In case of large cankers on the
trunks of the trees, clean out the di.
seased area to healthy wood, disinfect
with cyanide of mercury and cover
with grating wax.
"Only by thorough and systematic
inspection can we hope to reduce this
disease"

FAT GUYS BEAT
THE LANKY GINKS
Base Ball Classic is Played with
out Errors and Park Fund
Gets Nice Boost

A score or more of Kennewick busi-
ness and professional men and farm
ers are nursing sore arms, charley
horses, battered fingers, black eyes
and other physical defects as a result
of the seasons base ball classic which
was "fit" out last evening between
the fats and leans.
Nobody never did love a fat man
and today the leans love 'em less than
ever before because beef at the bat
won for the fats IL to IL, or there
aborts. 1t is impossible to give the
lineups as the five-inning game was
played in relays with different line
up for each inning. 1t may be said,
however, that nearly all of Kenne-
wick's citizens who are either notice
ably angular, or painfully rotund, ac-
quilted themselves Scum laudae" which
is Latin for something. Four umpires
officiated, one at each base and one
behind the box. The hardest worked
man at the game was Lefty Copeland
who attempted to keep score. There
were no errors and very few outs.
The game was played for the bene-
fit of the city park (which isn't.) The
net proceeds were S109.s0.
Sundays game between the has
beens of Kennewick VS.. the likewises
of Pasco, came off as scheduled with
the exception that the Pasco team
failed to come over. A team was Sc
leeted from the side-lines and the
game played. There was no score but
the park fund was boosted by $30.55.

Senator Jones of his appointment as

ment has been sent to President Hard.
ing for confirmation. The U. S. mar.
shalship for the eastern district goes

time it is Mr.. Jeffrey's intention to
continue to make his home in Kenne-
wick provided satisfactory arrange
ments to this effect can be made.
While the position was keenly con-
tested for by other attorneys little
argument could be advanced against
Mr.. Jeffrey's appointment. Although
only 30 years of age he has estab-
lished a name as a successful and cap
able attorney and no man in the state
has more creditable war record, or
has been a more consistent worker
for the success Of his party.
