City Leauue Notes

That was some game Il will long
be remembered as the most heated
game of the season.

The great buyers strike" of 1920
q, r-to-be- forgotten event
in the economic history of this
country, proved point which
must henceforth be recognized as
basic and incontrovertible.
1t was discovered by merchants
and jobbers everywhere, in practi-
calIy every line Of merchandise,
that it was the trademarked and
adequately advertised brands Of
goods that got the lions share of
the business there was to get, while
the preponderant loss Of sales fell
on the unbranded and unadvertis-
ed goods.
This was a great Showdown"
for Advertising, Its position as
factor in economic life was on
trial. Had it really done what had
always been claimed for it? Had
it created consumer preference
that would hold against the keen
competition Of a sacrifice price on
unmarked goods?
The verdict of the buying public
was unqualified 1t was not a
straw vote to determine popular
ity. It was the final test Of will
ingness to buy. The ballots were
dollars. And the preponderant ma
iority voted with their dollars that
they preferred to keep right on
buying advertised goods.
With the whole country on re-
duced schedule of production and
sales, the factories that were able
to keep on producing, in anything
like normal quantities, were invar-
iably those making trademarked
and nationally advertised goods.

Lefty Clarke turned in the first
no-hit. no-run game o ftae season
against the Sox yesterday hard
blow indeed, but Clarke deserved it
as he was in the best form that he
has shown for many seasons.
With rain imminent, ono Waynes
boro writer said that the Martins.
burg players showed poor sports
manship by stalling and trying to
delay the game. No doubt, this said
writer did not attend the game in
Martinsburg. when after the rain
had stopped. Manager Country
Morris of the dear little Villagers
refused to come out of the dug-out,
taking advantage of tho fact that
| there were no official umnires here
that day. However The game was
completed because the sun began to
shine.
Frederick didn't run away a Bit,
( losing to the Maroons. which still
hel1s their lead to one game.
Both Hulvey and Seaman we're
touched up for hits, thirteen being
collected off their combined offer

Shipley. on first base for tho Sex,
in the absence vi Jacoby. put Up
fine game. His eighteen chances
without a slip Up IS indeed good
record.
After MuIaney was chased from
the game, "Stouts' Wilson came in
and caught while "Wampo" Colley
covered the central garden. Colley
still retains his good reputation as
fielder for it so happened that
none were knocked in his direction
during his stay out there.

A. G.. VANDERBILT ESTATE
LOSES LUSITANIA SUIT
$4,000 Insurance Not Pay
able; Other Cases Affected.

The executors of the estate OF Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt. who was drowned
aboard the Lusitania, lost their fight
yesterday for $4,000 insurance issued
by the Travellers Insurance Company to
Mr.. Vanderbilt. The Appellate Division
OF the Supreme Court affirmed the de-
cision OF a lower court that the policy
was not payable. Hundreds of similar
claims may be affected by the opinion.
William J. Moran. for the insurance
company, contended that the contract
was void IL death resulted wholly or
partially from war or riot" The execu-
tors contended that Mr.. Vanderbilt s
death had been due to external vio-
lence and accidental means" Justice
Greenbaum alone dissented fr@n the
opinion.
The executors of the estate are Fred
erich W. and Reginald G. Vanderbilt,
Henry y. Andarson and Frederick G.

WAY TO BRIDGE
NOW CERTAIN
County Reaches Agreement
with Ledbetter for Pur-
chase of Land

There is no longer any danger that
the opening of a road to the new Co.
lumbia highway bridge will be de-
layed beyond the completion of the
bridge. Benton county, acting thru
the board of commissioners, has ar
rived at a settlement with Fred Led
better, of Portland, for the purchase
of the land recently voted out Of the
city limits.
The commissioners recently laid on,
a road across the land and opened ne.
gotiations with Mr.. Ledbetter with
the result that settlement has beer
reached by the county paying $700 fol
the right of way. This obviates the
necessity of carrying the matter int
court on condemnation. proceedings.
Capt. Dean, engineer for the Ben.
ton-Franklin corporation, says that
with good weather, and barring un'
forseen delays, the sub-structure car
be completed by April l and the work
of putting in the spans can be started
The first carloads of steel have al.
ready arrived and six other carloads
have passed the Minnesota Transfer.

SCHOOL VOTE
is ONE SIDED
Fraser Receives SIG of the
568 Votes Cast-Inter-
est Aroused

Not in years has there been as
much interest in a school election as
there was Saturday when one direc-
tor to succeed F. L. Fraser was
chosen.
Several days before the election
Rev. Fraser announced that he would
be candidate for reelection and no
opposition developed until Saturday
morning when it became known that
c. Tillory would be a candidate. As
a result friends of Rev. Fraser put
in some strenuous hours notifying
voters in and out Of town. Their ef-
forts brought out the biggest vote in
years and reelected Rev. Fraser by
an overwhelming majority.
Out of total vote of $50, Fraser
received 526, Tillery 80 and F. H.
Lincoln, 8, with two ballots spoiled,
Mr.. Lincoln announced early in the
day that he was not candidate.

partment How to Handle
Equipment

Members of Kennewick's Volunteer
Fire Department are indebted to
Harry Hawkins, Yakima's fire chief,
for some valuable suggestions as to
how best to organize and equip a
department and to handle fires.
At the request of Councilman Haas,
Chief Hawkins made trip to Kenne-
wick Monday. During the day he
tested the pressure in the city mains
and inspected the present fire equip
ment offering suggestions as to the
best equipment to purchase with the

interesting talk to the fire boys.
At the regular meeting Tuesday
evening the city council heard fire
truck proposals from several COM
panies but inasmuch as the after-elec-
tion legal details had not been dis
posed of no contract was let.

TAKE CENSUS
OF SOLDIERS
American Legion to Find
Out Needs and Wishes
Of Ex-Service Men

The unknown hero" who never re-
ceived splendid funeral, but is still
alive and looking for job, is spec
ial object Of the veteran census that
begins Saturday, March IL, under di-
rection of Robert w. Ely Post Of the
American Legion.
The Legionnaires are going out to
get the name Of every man who serv-
ed the country in the world war, what
their needs are, whether they have
unpaid claims for compensation or
not, and what their ideas are in re-
gard to the adjusted compensation
bill. They are especially anxious
that every ex-service man realize that
his name is wanted, whether he is. Z
member Of the American Legion or
not.
The census is especially designed
to bring to light all cases Of suffer-
ing thru war service that have not
yet been remedied. All ex-service
men and women are to be asked If
they have suffered any disability thru
the war, and If so, if they are secur-
ing adequate compensation. If they
are in need of hospital treatment the
facts are to be listed, and also if
they are entitled to vocational train
ing. If they are entitled to free dem
tai service and do not know it, it will
be found out for them. They are
also to be questioned regarding their
war risk insurance, concerning. which
there is considerable confusion. Many
do not know the terms under which
they may reinstate their insurance
after letting it lapse, other would like
to change into a permanent form Of
government insurance, others have
occasion to change the beneficiary Of
their policy. These matters are all
to be taken up.
A matter Of particular interest is
the choice the ex-service men will
make among the five forms Of COM
pensation offered by the adjusted
compensation bill. These include paid
up insurance, farm and home loans,
and courses in vocational training. A
great deal has been said and surmised
about the general wishes of the ex-
service people in this matter, but
nothing has been actually known. The
census will clear up many doubts.

COUNTY SEAT
VOTE COMING
Kennewick to Have Novel
Experience of Being on
The Sides Lines

It's going to be very novel ex-
perience for county seat fight to
be pulled off in Benton county with
the people of Kennewick on the side
lines. Not that they will not be in
terested in the contest. They will be,
but they will not be in the line Of
scrimmage as one Of the principals.
It is evident that the question of
moving the county seat from Prosser
to Benton City is to be submitted to
the voters at the general election in
November. Petitions asking that the
question be submitted are now being
circulated by citizens Of Benton City.
The Courier-Reporter has been in
formed that it is the intention of the
Benton City boosters not to circulate
the petition in this district but to
secure sufficient signatures from
Benton City west and in the up-rivcr
country.
The county seat was located in Pros
ser by an act of the legislature at the
time the county was created and only
once have the people expressed a
choice in the matter. Ten years ago,
at the 1912 general election two pro-
positions were submitted: one to move
it to Kennewick, the other to move it
to Benton City. Kennewick received
approximately 55 per cent Of the to-
tai vote and Benton City a per cent.
The last ten years have brought about
but little change in the balance of vot-
ing power. Recent election returns
indicate that in the territory from
Benton City east there is about go
per cent Of the voting population. Un-
der the law so per cent vote is re-
quired to move the county seat.
Regarding the circulation of the
Benton City. petition. last weeks
White Bluffs Spokesman says.
County Commissioner S. j. Harri-
son of Benton City was in White
Bluffs this week looking over the
roads and incidentally circulating a
petition for the removal of the coun-
ty seat to Benton City. To make the
petition valid, it. must have the sig
natures of one-third of the qualified
voters in the county, measured by the
number of votes cast at the last cleo
ton.
From present indications the re-
quired number of signatures will be
secured and this will bring the ques-
ton on for vote at the fall election.
From the general taxpayers stand
point, this county seat matter should
be settled once and for all and a court
house built as an anchor, in which,
ever place wins out this fall.
