SCOUTS PLAN
FOUR TROOPS
Committee Believes Kenne-
wick Can Support Four
Organizations

The organization committee of
which Postmaster Gordon c. Moores is
chairman, has made tentative plans
for the formation of four Boy Scout
troops in Kennewick. The regula-
tions governing the first class coun-
ell provides that each troop be spop=
sored by some religious, civic, frdter:-
nal or patriotic organization. 1t is
probable the local troops will be spon-
sored by the M. E., the Baptist, Con-
gregational and Christian churches.
The scout masters school, which
was to have been started Monday, has
been postponed. The first lecture will
be given in Pasco next Monday eve
ming. Four lectures will be given
with meeting alternating between Pas
co and Kennewick. Attendance at the
lectures is not limited to members of
the scout committees but any man
who is interested in the movement is
urged to take the course.
w. c. Muldrow, chairman of the
camp committee, Sunday visited a
proposed camp site near Bingham
springs on the Umatilla. Other sites
have been proposed but he is Of the
opinion the one visited Sunday will
be selected. If SO the people aof. Pen
dleton have volunteered to furnish
the scouts free transportation Between
that city and the camp. It is planned
to open the camp June IL and operate
it for six weeks.
Following is list of items needed
to equip the camp. Anyone who is
willing to lend or donate any of the
articles are requested to notify Mr..
Muldrow: Camp range, cooking uten-
sils, axes, long-handled shovels, picks,
double and single cross-cut saws, ham
mers, maui and wedges, adj, brace and
bits, wrecking bar, volley ball and net,
indoor baseballs, bats, tennis balls,

BATTERY CO. MOVES
Howell Installs Latest Improved Bat
terry Charging Equipment

T. j. Howell, who runs the Howell
Battery Co., has moved his shop
across the street to the Rudlxin build
ing opposite the First National bank,
because his new equipment recently
installed demanded more space for
his increasing business.
The new machine, the first of its
kind in Benton county, is a Constant
potential battery charging outfit made
by the Hobar Mfg. Co.and is said to be
the best of its kind on the market.
By its use rundown storage battery
may be fully charged in six to eight
hours. This feature saves changing
batteries, rentals on service batteries
and is more convenient in every way.
Mr.. Howell is well pleased with the
work Of the new machine and as it
is one of the first in Eastern Wash
ington, dealers from all over the In
land Empire have been visiting him
to. investigate the new appliance. :.

TO NEW YORK
Carload of Asparagus Goes
to Atlantic Seaboard
from Kennewick

From Coast to coast is the record
which Kennewick is setting with its
asparagus this year. The carload
shipment last Thursday by the 3-Riv-
ers Association, billed to Chicago was
sent on to New York. The shipment
is being handled by the Federated
Fruit & Vegetable Growers, organ
lied last year by the national Farm
Bureau. After receiving sample of
the grass the Federated managers
were of the opinion that it could be
put on the New York market in excel
lent condition, so they sent it on.
Another car was shipped early in
the week to Minneapolis. This is the
third full car shipment this season.
AS a result of these eastern ship
ments, the price in the Northwest,
which fell one day to a dollar, has
been boosted back to a dollar and a
half.
With today's receipts the 3-Rivers
association passed the 10000 crate
mark. Growers estimate that the cut
ting season is about half over. Last
years total shipments were 1920
crates.

Of Flower Thieves

It is difficult to believe there is any
person in this community despicable
enough to desecrate the last resting
place of the dead. But there is. c. N.
Koelker, sexton Of Riverview Heights
cemetery, reports that spring flowers
blooming on graves have been up
rooted and carried away, evidently
for transplanting. Mr.. Koelker is
certain the theft was not work of
thoughtless children. The Towering
plants were carefully taken. up and
the holes refilled with sod taken from
the drive way.
ssThere is no mistake about it," said
the sexton. 81 have consulted owners
of lots from which the flowers were
taken and they did not remove them.
It's case of the lowest-down thievery
have. ever heard off,
This only brings to distressing
climax the petty depredations of flow
er thieves who this spring have raided
wards at numerous homes in the city.
R. L. Banta, Dr. C d Hopper, Ed

among those who report the theft of
blossoms.

Mr.. Brown, who for several weeks

north of the railroad tracks and can
be supplied with sidetrack facilities
by an extension of the John Dover
Lumber company spur.
Mr.. Brown for several years has
Ibeen employed by the Milton Box Fac
tory, manufacturers of fruit box ma
terials. The Milton company, during
its years Of operation, has steadily in
creased it's business and Mr.. Brown
is convinced that Kennewick offers
greater possibilities for business of
this kind than does the Oregon town.
The Kennewick plant will have a
capacity of car of lumber daily and
operated at capacity will employ Is.
men. It Is Mr.. Browns intention to
manufacture all kinds of box ma
terials for which there is demand
in the Yakima valley. He has already

PLAY NO MORE
GAMES HERE
Kennewick is Cut Out Of the
League Schedule but Team
will Continue

Except on the Fourth of July no
more games of the Blue Mountain
League will be played in Kennewick.
Sundays game with Echho drew a
fifty dollar crowd and put Kennewick
off the baseball map, but not out of
the league. The schedule will be tn-
changed SO far as dates and compet-
ine teams are concerned. Sunday
Kennewick will go to Milton instead of
Milton -Freewater coming here and
so on thru the season.
"Just say that Kennewick is going
to stay in the league and is going to
get-sinto the winning column before
very sioog,a said j. c. Lefbee yester-
day. Mr.. Eeibee is negotiating for
several news players and expects to
go to Milton Sunday with greatly
strengthened team.
Sundays game lasted only seven
innings. That was plenty. Echo had
% scores and Kennewick 4. The hus-
kies from the little town over the line
just naturally hammered the ball to
all corners of the canal bank. Hickey,
who went five painful innings, was
punished for 81 good ones while -Burgh
allowed only two hits in the two in
nings he pitched. The best Kenne-
wick could do with Whites curves
was to convert six of them into hits.
In the error column Kennewick had
the big end of the count, 10 to 8.
Pendleton won from Walla Walla
8 to 8; Milton-F Freewater nosed out
ahead of Pasco, 10 to 9. This leaves
Pendleton at the top with Pasco, Wal
la Walla and Echo tied for second, Mil
Milton Freewater coming here and
undisturbed in the cellar.

MOTH MEETING

Government Experts Com
ing to Give Growers Adj
vice in Moth Control

"This is the time Of year to give
attention to the codling moth, says
n. w. Desgranges. sIt is not t,at har-
vest time that the damage is done.
It is then that the damage is most
noticeable, but it is at this time of the
year that the damage occurs and when
preventive measures must be applied.
aMuch study has been given late
years to their control and it has been
demonstrated that they can be prac-
tically exterminated. Intelligent
spraying is needed. A special effort
is being made to place the latest
scientific information on moth con-
troll in the hands Of every grower. The
success or failure Of the effort will
depend largely on the united efforts
Of all the growers. The effect is ac-
cumulative.
1.-THE Big Y is carrying on cam
paign Of education. New and better
methods than have. been practiced in
the past are known and to get this
information to all growers in the dis
trict meeting has been called at the
Valley club house for Saturday eve
ming, May 12. Mr.. Ellison of the
weather bureau and either Mr.. Close
or Mr.. Newcomer will be on hand to
give direct from the shoulder advice
not hearsay.
'This is the most important prob
lem that confronts the fruit grower.
It means an annual loss of many
thousands of dollars that may be
saved. Pass the word to your neigh
