he made from cassina, wild plant
that grows abundantly in the South
Atlantic and Gulf States from Vir-
ginia to Texas, when the leaves of the
plant are treated by process fimilar to
those used in curing tea. The cassina
plant has been used to limited ex-
tent by Indians, and, during the Civil
War when tea and coffee could not
be obtained, by people of the South

does not make good beverage.
1t having been demonstrated in the
laboratory that cassina could be

cellent beverage made from it, work
has been undertaken to produce it

Laboratory experiments have been
conducted on the use of the hot-water

Ruler of Fair May Have to
Wear Cook Apron In
stead of Robe
VOTING STOPS AT
MIDNIGHT SATURDAY
Committee Selects Third
Street Location for Stag
ing the Exhibits

Members of the Kennewick Busi-
ness Girls club say that unless more
interest is taken in the contest to Sc
lect a queen Of the fair the corona
tion ceremonies are going to be a
fizzle. The fair management has al
lowed the girls five per cent of the
contest proceeds to properly robe and
crown the queen. At the present rate
of vote selling the queen will probably
have to wear a cook apron instead
of suitable coronation robe.
1t doesn't cost anything TO vote.
Votes are issued with each single ad-
mission or season ticket, one vote for
each cent. 1t costs no more to buy
tickets now than after the fair opens.
If you are going to the fair buy your
ticket now and put little pep into
the queen contest. Remember the
old Grape Carnival when we used to
round up a thousand or fifteen hund-
red dollars in a queen contest? Have
We gone stale? A season ticket costs
only fifty cents. And the contest
closes midnight Saturday of this week.
On this afternoons count Miss Ruth
Hall, Grange candidate, led with 615O
votes; Miss Amy Kelso, Prosser can
didate, was second with $3.50; Miss
Dayl Miller, Epworth League candi-
date, had $500 and Miss Marie Spie-
gelberg, Highlands candidate, was
fourth with $500. u
The Highlanders are reported to be
one hundred per cent back of Miss
Spiegelberg and plans are being made
for some lively voting at the High
lands club dance Saturday night and
similar plans are being made by the
Changers for the Pomona meeting
at Finley. The Business Girls have
arranged to open headquarters in the
Courier-Reporter office Saturday
night where votes will be received un-
til midnight. Between now and Sat
urday the standings of the contest
ants will be bulletined twice daily
in the room adjoining the postoffice.
The general committee and sub
committees are rapidly rounding out
plans for fair opening week from
Friday One big handicap has been
some place to stage the exhibits and
provide room for the indoor circus
and rodeo performances Late this
afternoon the committee decided that
the most satisfactory location is be-
tween Washington and Yakima
streets on Third. This location will
be used provided permission can be
obtained from the owners Of vacant
lots and the council is willing to
close the streets to traffic.
Exhibit committees are busy among
the farmers and it is expected there
will be very creditable showing for
farm, field and orchard products, as
well as attractive displays by the
Boys and Girls clubs and needle
work and art by the women.

SMALL LOSS
IN SCHOOLS
Enrolment Not So Large
AS Last Year-Super-
intendent Is Ill

Enrolment in the Kennewick
schools which are now in their second
week is not SO large as that at the
opening a year ago. There is falling
off OF 25 in the high school en-
rollment and A in the grades. It is
expected, however, last years maxi
mum enrolment will besexceeded lat
er in the year.
The opening shortage is explained
by the fact that farms in the Kenne-
wick district are much buster places
than they were year ago and num-
ber Of children are being kept at home
because Of scarcity of farm labor.
There are 261 kiddies enrolled at
the Washington building and 220
grade pupils in the high school build
ling and annex. The high school en-
rollment is 161.
Organization work has been some

been confined to his bed with stone
in the kidney. It is thought he will
recover from the attack without an
operation and be able to take up his
work within week.

iritis has been unable to meet his
classes and his place has been taken
by Boyd Haynes, Of Spokane. Miss
Olga Anderson he's been engaged as
mathematics teacher and director of
girls athletics to succeed Miss Dam

The newly organized music course
in the high school has started with
an enrolment of 20 in the class

with prospects for 6 more pieces.
