More Than Four Thousand
Gallons Put In Bottles
In Days Shift
THIS YEARS OUTPUT .
is ONE OF BIGGEST
Company Making Rapid
Progress in Refrigera-
tion of PascoPlant

All previous grape juice records
were shattered at the plant of the
Church Mfg. Co. Saturday when $50
five-gallon bottles were filled with
freshly pressed juice, a. total of 4,2S0
gallons. The company at the present
time is employing more than SO people
but the work of receiving grapes
pressing, heating, and bottling the
juice was done by 16 men and women
in single shift. The former high
record was TAI five-gallon bottles.
Manager M. H. Church reports that
the grape harvest in the vineyards
along the Columbia is about over but
picking farther up the Yakima valley
has only started. The company has
only few contracts but is getting
all the grapes it can handle at $45
ton. Juice pressing will continue
as long as grapes of good quality
are offered, for this reason it is inn
possible to accurately estimate the
number Of gallons that will be manu-
factured this year. The factory's out
put, however will be one of the big
gest in the company's history.
Mr.. Church reports satisfactory
progress on the refrigeration of the
company's large plant in Pasco. The
plant when fully equipped will have
cold storage capacity of 100 cars
of apples. The company expects to
experience no difficulty in filling
it as more than 100000 boxes have
been listed for storage.

FORTY-SIX BOXES
APPLES FROM HERE
Commissioner of Reclamation is Inn
pressed by Delicious Tree
on the Highlands

When d. w. Davis, u. S. Commis-
sioner of reclamation was shown over
the Kennewick Highlands one of the
things which greatly impressed him
was Delicious apple tree in the or
chard of l., M. Keene. The tree was
loaded from lower branches to the
topmost twig with wonderfully fine
apples.
When Commissioner Davis inquired
the reason this tree lowered above
the others of the same age he was
informed by Mr.. Keene that in ad-
dition to the regular irrigation it re-
ceived waste water and therefore was
at all times plentifully supplied with
moisture.
Mr.. Keene estimated that the tree
would turn off 40 loose boxes of ap-
Piles while the average for his or
chard would be about 20 boxes per
tree. The estimate proved very ac-
curate as 46 loose boxes were picked
from the tree.

GOOD RESPONSE
TO RELIEF CALL
Red Cross Secretary Says
Kennewick Can Well be
Proud of It's Record

Kennewick's total contribution to
the American Red Cross Japanese
Relief fund was $523.45. Since the
last report which showed total of
$491.O2 there has been received
s32.43. Of this $16.71 was collected
through the First Christian church.
In the previous report st. Paul's Epis-
copal church should have been credit
ed with $3.50 instead of $13.41.
This is considered an excellent re-
sponse on the part of the people of
Kennewick, Finley and Hover.
In acknowledging receipt of the
contribution. Mrs. Ruth Thornton,
secretary of the Kennewick chapter
writes A. R. Gardner, local treasurer,
as follows:
I've certainly wish to let you know
how much we appreciate the efforts
of yourself and other citizens of
Kennewick toward the Japanese Re-
lief fund. The repsonse Of Kenne-
wick to this call was more than gen.
erous. In emergencies of this sort
it is easy to tell the communities
that exist for the benefit of mankind
and not just for themselves. Kenne-
wick can be justly proud of its eff
forts"

TEACHERS TO
ASSEMBLE HERE
Joint Institute of Benton
and Franklin Counties
to be Held Oct. $40

The annual joint institute of the
Benton and Franklin county school
teachers will be held in the Kenne-
wick high school October 8, 8 and 10.
While the institute program proper
is being arranged by the superin-
tendents of the two counties, j. w.
Failor, superintendent of the Ken
newick schools, asks the cooperation
of the patrons in providing enter
tainment features for the visiting
teachers. The Woman's club is work
ing out plans to this end.
One of the first questions to be
settled is "Where do the teachers
sleep?" Any residents who are will
ing to rent rooms for the three days
are requested to send word to school
by their children or to notify any one
of the local teachers. 1t is Mr.. Fail
or's desire to make q directory of all
such rooms not later than Friday of
next week.
Mr.. Failor calls attention to the
fact that G.. 1. Kralowec's name was
omitted from the school directory
printed last week. When he isn't
out on the football field Coach Kra-
lowec lives on State street.
