To RIDE At
RODEO
=. n. Barrow Is Now in Fl Paso
to Sign Up Winners OF
Big Contest There.

With work already started on
the big arena to be erected on the
| Billy Sunday Lot opposite the
Union Station, plans are rapidly
being shaped for the Shrine Rodeo
and Indian Exposition to be held

with the Shriners' national con-
vention. Victor J. Evans, chair
man of the committee in charge,
has made elaborate preparations for
the event and promises to stage
an exposition truly symbolic CT
the old wild West"
In addition to an Indian village
populated by some 100 or more
Blackfeet, Grow, Cheyenne and
Hopi Indians. Mr. Evans has ar
ranged to bring to Washington
forty or fifty of the country's cham
pion cowboys and eowgirls. +. H.
Barrow, former secretary of the
Cheyenne frontier day celebration
and one of Mr.. Evans personal
representatives in the West, is now
in Ell Paso, Texas, where a big
rodeo is in progress, and where he
intends to sign contracts with the
winners of the various events for
their appearance here.
Two carloads of OUTLAW horses,

much larger than the pony of the
old roundup days, are considerably
stronger and have much more en-
durance. The first appearance of
this type of horse was at the Boze-
man. Mont, wild west show last
summer, and the percentage of
throws is said to have been much
greater than when ordinary out
law horses were used.
Long-horn steers having become
extinct in Texas, Mr.. Barrows has
sent to Mexico for several of the
animals to be used in the riding,
roping, steer wrestling and bull.

long-horns, a number of Brahma

Every Available Foot Of
Space To Be Utilized
This Year ~
CHURCH'S STORAGES
ALREADY CROWDED
Cold Rooms of Big Y Will
Not Hold All of Asso-
cations Apples

BY the time kennewick's apple
crop has been made ready for market
every available foot of floor space
in the cold and common storage plants
in Kennewick and Pasco will have
been utilized.
After the wind storm of several
weeks ago it was thought that not
all the storage would be utilized. For
that reason the Church Mfg. company
which had not been accepting orders
for storage for some time took on
some new contracts and today they
are having difficulty in finding room
for all apples that are being offered.
The company's new plant in Pasco
which has room for l30 carsloads is
already full as is all the normal stor-
age space in the Kennewick plant.
Alterations, however, are being made
in the local plant which will increase
its capacity by several carloads. By
the end of the packing season this
company will hold in cold storage
more than 175 cars Of apples.
The cold storage rooms of the Ken
newick plant Of the Yakima Valley
association which holds 10s cars, will
be packed from floor to ceiling and
some Of the common storage will be
utilized to care for the crops of the
association members. Manager H. w.
Desgranges estimates that all of the
picked apples will be received at the
warehouse by the end Of this week.
These will keep the packing crew
busy for month after which work
will be started on the apples that
were blown off.
In addition to the apples nat are
going into storage approxL, .tely Is
cars are being shipped daily to east
ern storage.
There is practically no change in
market conditions. There is little or
no dealing in Winesaps and other
later varieties but dealers are hope
full that satisfactory market will
develop later.
Mrs. M. O.. Kitten, who returned
yesterday from six-weeks trip TO
Chicago and other middle western
cities brings back report of poor
markets. Mrs. Kitten went to Chicago
to sell their apple crop but was un-
able to make satisfactory sale but
arranged to put the fruit in storage
in Chicago. She says that Chicago is
filled with choice Michigan apples
and there is little or no demand for
Northwestern box apples. The Mich
igan crop is heavy this year and of
excellent color and quality.

MAKING FIGHT
AGAINST GOITRE
DR.. Spaulding Says Schools
of County are Consider
ing Treatment

With statistics showing that one
out of every four school children in
the state has an enlarged thyroid
gland or goitre, the Washington De-
partment of Health is speeding up
the preventive campaign by which it
hopes eventually to place Washington
at the bottom instead of near the top
of the national goitre list. Statistics
compiled by the national bureau place
Washington among the states where
goitre is most prevalent.
To meet the situation the state de-
partment of health, in cooperation
with the Public Health league, is
urging an increased distribution of
iodine tablets by which lacking iodine
salt is supplied to the thyroid gland.
The iodine tablets are now being ad-
ministered thru the public schools in
Yakima, Spokane, Tacoma and other
cities with excellent results, accord
ing to DIR. Paul Turner, state health
director. Seattle is using the iodine
treatment effectively and plans wild
er campaign in the schools.
DR.. L. G. Spaulding, county health
officer, reports that he expects soon
to have the treatment introduced in
practically all Of the schools of the
county outside Of Kennewick. He has
also received an invitation to present
the matter to the directors of the
Pasco schools.
"The tretment. is entirely optional
with the parents, said DR.. Sapulding.
"When the treatment is taken up thru
the schools a card explaining the
treatment is mailed to each parent
and the treatment is given only to
the children Of those who request it.
All there is to the treatment are for
ty little chocolate-coated tablets which
are given one each week to the child
rem by the teacher. The cost is so
cents to child. In some cases the
district stands the expense, but gen.
orally the parents pay.
"Iodine is harmless" explains DR..
Spaulding. "Like salt, it is required
for bodily health. In this county,
and most of the counties of Washing
ton, sufficient iodine is not contained
in the water to supply the body's
needs. BY administering the iodine
consistently we can eventually eradi-
cate goitre among children.
"sIn Switzerland, where similar
system has been in effect over pc
riod of years, goitre was reduced, in
one district, from 87.6 per cent in 1913
to 1871 per cent in 1922"
In the Kennewick schools the goi-
tire question has been left to DR.. A.
G. Tullar, city health officer. DR..
Tullar has addressed a communica-
ton to Clerk Fraser and it is prob
able that the matter will be consid-
ere dat the boards next meeting.
