to leave a note on the headgate, when
it will be attended to at once. A
call to the office will reach the pa
trolman but may be too late for that
days trip At six-thirty each eve
ming the manager again calls up each
patrolman and receives the evening
gage-readings and reports, giving such
instructions as may be necessary.
Water must be started from the head
gates today in order to reach the
Hover beat tomorrow, and some of
the men along the way sometimes
have to get out during the night and
regulate certain gates to keep from
disturbing tn balance of the system.
Many people do not realize how close
this adjustment has to be and so
make requests that cannot be grant
ed without danger of breaks or SER
ious disturbance of other deliveries.
Meanwhile the users are taking up
the water more rapidly every day,
and the canal will soon be carrying
a full head. No rigid limits are be-
ing imposed so long as water is be-
ing wasted, and no effort will be
spared to get water to any user who
asks for it, at the earliest possible
moment.

HI SCHOOL BASEBALL
Local Team Takes Game from Pasco
and Richland-Play Again Today


The high school team has been TAX
ing the games as they come. Two
weeks ago they took Pasco's scalp
by narrow margin 7-6 on the home
field. The game was close from the
start, but Kennewick took 20 lead
in the second and maintained the lead
until the eighth frame. The visitors
then hit the ball hard and ran in
three runs without any down and still
two men on bases. Muncey was sent
in to relieve Woods on the mound who
had pitched good ball till then He
finished the inning, allowing only one
run, but this tied the score, Go. In
the last of the eighth Kennewick re-
taliated by crossing home plate again,
and Pasco was shut out in the ninth,
which closed an exciting game and
still left the local team indicated.
Richland was the next victim as
our team won from them 1910 on their
own field last Friday.
; Today the team goes to Pasco to
maintain their unbroken record. The
Pasco team plays good ball and ex-
pect to take the honors of the valley.

working thru the county agents, to re-
duce the number of varieties, bring
about compliance with the standards
and help place the Washington potato
on a firm basis.
As the preliminary step in state
wide campaign for better potatoes
in 1928, a survey will be made this
summer under the direction of the ex-
tension specialists and the county
agents in each county. This will be
made to determine the varieties grown
type of soil upon which planted, the
methods of seed treatment, chemical
used, fertilizer used and whether the
potatoes are raised for seed or the
market.
Some work has been accomplished
along this line in the Yakima valley,
where the Melted Gem is the main
variety. George L. Zundel and E. G..

Quoted treating demonstrations in
Yakima, Pend Oreille, Stevens, Spo-
kane, Whitman and Columbia counties
while standardization work is being
conducted by E. b. Stoke, county
agent of Thurston county.
Another part of the preliminary po-
tato work will be the keeping of ten
potato cost accounts by ten farmers in
each county. It is planned that in
this way production costs may be de-
termined- Fifteen counties are maxi
ing arrangements at the present time
to have these $50 cost accounting sys-

There are certain sections Of the
state well adapted to the raising of

white variety such as the Melted Gem,
Burbank, American Wonder, White
Star and Pride of Multonomah. This
is the popular type with the house

campaign next year will be in charge

HATS OFF TO BAND,
SAYS MT..STERLING
PAPER IN WRITE-UP
County Newspaper Pays
Great Compliment to Maysville
Band BY Saying They Were the
Best Ever Heard There.

This weeks issue of the Mt Sterling
Gazette says:
I'VE take off our hats to the Mays
vile Boys Band-the best brass band
that has ever appeared at the Mont
gomery County Fair-and we congrat-
ulate them on their musical program,
given through the four days of the
Fair. The band was accompanied to
Mt Sterling by ]. Barbour Russell and
A. l.. Glascock, of Maysville, and they
certainly did their very best to give to
those who attended the Fair a delight
full time. The band was dressed in
nobby white and blue uniforms and
made a beautiful appearance on the
streets. And. say, talk about music
that given at each concert at the Fair
was as good as was ever heard in Mt
Sterling. The harmony and melody
rendered and the perfect time kept
could not be excelled. During the en-
gagement the following solos were
given: "In Kansas" by (. d. Russell
on the bass instrument; "All Over
Nothing" by Edmund Treble on the
trombone; Fancy Polka" by Richard
Orr on the piccolo; "My Old Kentucky
Home" by Kitty Glascock on the sax
aphone; when You and l Were
Young, Maggie" by Elmer Hays on
the baritone; "Gaiety Polka" by Allen
Wood on the cornet; Angel Child
by ]. Barbour Russell, Jr., on the cor.
net, and cornet duet, Punch anG
Judy" by Harry Jolly and Eugene
Royse. 1t is useless for us to endeavol
| to say what we want to say about the
music furnished by the band, because
our musical words are lacking. But
we will say that in our opinion the
musical program of the Maysville
Boys Band at the Montgomery County
Fair was absolutely the best that has
ever been heard here. The director OF
the band, Prof. George d. Barnard
was very pleasant and as an instruc-
| tor and leader is as good as we have
ever seen. We certainly hope that tn
| band will visit Mt. Sterling again"

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
MURDERO OF WlNCHES-
TER MERCHANT
Leon Renaker Found Murdered In His
Home Wednesday-Large Re-
ward Is Offered for
Murderer.

Leon Renaker, aged 81, one of the
most widely known dealers in produce
in the state of Kentucky, was found
murdered in his home at Winchester
Wednesday by his wife who had re-
turned from trip to Cincinnati.
Walter Renaker, prominent Cincin-
natl seed merchant, a brother of the
slain man, is in Winchester assisting
operatives of detective agencies and
the Winchester officers in unraveling
the case. He gives it as his opinion
that his brother was murdered by a
Winchester man and that despite the
fact that young Renakor's pockets
were emptied, robbery was only Incl
dental and not the motive for the mur-
der.
Well defined finger prints in the
blood stains on the young mans neck
are the only clews to the murderer. A
reward of $1,000 has been made by rel
atives and officials.
Renaker was a native of Cynthiana
and with a brother, Barry .Renaker,
for sometime operated turkey pen
at Marshal Station.

TO Be
ASKED FOR TOWN
BY SUBURBANITES
Petitions Being Circulated Asking for
Charter for Town of "CliftOn"-
Move Made to Head of
Annexation.

For some time there has been a very
quiet move on foot by city officials to
annex to the city of Maysville that Sec
ton lying directly south of the Sixth
ward and known as Clifton, Oklahoma
and Eastland, in which there is quite
a population. 1t is understood that the
movement has gotten well under way
and that quite a large number of the
residents in this section have already
signed petition asking the Maysville
CITY council to annex the territory.
quite number of the prominent
residents of this section are bitterly
.pposed to such annexation to the city
and the opponents have started a
movement, which appears to be meet
ing with considerable success to in
corporate separate town of the sixth
class to be known as the town of "Clif-
,on." Petitions are now in circulation
and considerably over a hundred sig
natures had been procured to the peti-
tions by noon Thursday.
Should the request of these peti-
TONERS be granted the town of Clifton
would be separate incorporation
with a mayor, councilmen, marshal,
police judge and all other municipal
'ihcials. 1t is understood that several
nave already volunteered to serve the
new town without salary until such
time as the new towns finances are in
good condition.
The chief cause for the movement to
rganize separate town, it appears is
o head-off the movement to annex the
erritory to the city of Maysville. 1t
appears that in its present morgan
2ed condition the territory can be an
neXed to the city much easier than in
the event the territory is a corporate
rganization. 1t is understood that in
S present condition the territory can
Q annexed by the petition of one
ourth the residents CT the territory
"hile as an organized town such peti-
ton must be signed by three-fourths
+ the population.
Those who have investigated say
hat the territory nrorCsed to be in
,luded either in the annexation or the
new town has population of approx
imately three thousand people.
From the interest taken by the two
factions in the suburban territory, il
appears that there is to be a warm
fight on during the next few weeks.
