If SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR


Just the moment you apply Mentho-
Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says noted skin spe-
cialist. This sulphur preparation, made
into a pleasant cold cream, gives such
a quick relief, even to fiery eczema,
that nothing has ever been found to
take its place.
Because of its germ-destroying prop
critics, it quickly subdues the itching,
cools the irritation and heals the eczema
right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pim-
Piles or roughness.

POTATO CROP
is BIGGER
Shipments will Exceed Es-
Inmates by More than
Ten Cars


Lee M. Thompson, manager of the
3-Rivers Growers Association, said to-
day that the early potato crop of the
Kennwick- -Richland district will exceed
the earlier estimates by from 10 to Is
cars. The association has to date
shipped 45 cars and there is still a
considerable acreage to be dug. The
price has been steadily declining and
the best offers are now around $25
f. O. b. Kennewick.
c. S Ray, Of Spokane, u. S. crop
reporter, informs Mr. Lampson that
the short potato acreage in the United
States apparently is not affecting the
early potato market. Last year was
such disastrous one for spud grow
ers that many of them are unwilling
to take chances on the later market
and for this reason are digging as
long as fair price is offered for early
potatoes.
Mr.. Lampson estimates that the
association will ship between 20 and
rs cars while the maximum pre-seas-
on estimate was go cars.

BERRY POOLS
ARE CLOSED
Association Receives Aver
age of S3.16 Crate for
Strawberries

The average net price received by
the 3-Rivers Growers for all the
strawberries handled by it this year
was $3.16 per crate. The grower
will receive this price less a handling
charge of 20 cents. Checks in pay
ment of balances due the growers
were mailed today by the association.
The association shipped 1880 COM
pared to 1000 crates in 1922. A to-
tai of 35 full carloads were shipped
this year which is almost double the
car shipment of any other year, the
former high record being Is cars.
The season this year extended over
3S days and the distribution was over
a wider territory than ever before.
General Manager Lee M. Lampson
says he was handicapped not a little
in handling this years crop because
of the small output of recent years.
Many distributors who at one time
were large buyers of Kennewick ber-
ries had found that they were. unable
to supply their trade with Kennewick
berries and for that reason had made
deals early in the season for southern
berries. This years operations have
resulted in re-establishing the Ken
newick berry in many markets un
touched for several years and as
result the demand next year should
be even better than this.
Berries shipped thru the Big Y and
by cash buyers bring the years total
crop over the 10000 mark.

MISS ALMA PASCHE,
EMIL ALBRIGHT WE'D
Marriage Solemnized in Bethlehem
Lutheran Church Sunday
Afternoon

AT an impressive wedding at four
o'clock Sunday afternoon in the Beth
lehem Lutheran church, Miss Alma
Pasche became the bride of Mr.. Ed
win Albrecht. The church was filled
to capacity by members of the Bethle-
hem congregation and friends of the
young people.
The beautiful double ring service
of the Lutheran church was read by
the pastor, Rev. III. c. Messerli. The
wedding party formed as Henry Spor-
leder played Lohengrin's wedding
march. The bride was attended by
her sister, Miss Helen Pasche and
Miss Louise Albrecht, sister of the
bridegroom and the bridegroom was
escorted by his brother Emil Albrecht
Jr., and the brides brother Paul Pas
che. Esther Pasche, sister of the
bride, was flower girl. Following
the service sacred hymn was beau
tifully sung by Miss Marie Spiegel-
berg.
The bride wore a gown of white
beaded Canton crepe and carried
white roses. The altar and church
were decorated with cut flowers in
white and yellow motif.
After the ceremony a wedding sup
per was served to 40 guests at the
home of the brides parents. The
next morning Mr.. and Mrs. Albrecht
left on a motor trip to Portland and
other Coast cities. Upon their return
they will make their home in an at
ractive cottage recently erected on the
Albrecht farm.
Mrs. Albrecht is the oldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. Pasche of
the Garden Tracts and the bridegroom
is the oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Emil Albrecht of the Valley.

Saffordites Are Given Drub-

Series

No longer do the Saffordites flaunt
full thousand in the percentage col

were handed one of the most decisive
defeats of the series, Friday evening,
lby the Gascoigners, score 10 to 8.
They came back strong Monday night,
however, and drubbed the Smithies
I 5 to 1. The Gascoigners who have
been going strong were given close
call yesterday by the Johnsonians
who have apparently have strangle-
hold on the tail end of the percent
ages. The score was 5 to a.
The original schedule provided for
twelve games for each team. Each
team has now played ten and as there
is little probability that the renla-
ing games of the series will affect
the standings of the teams there is
some talk of starting another series
and unless the same team wins both
there will be a worlds series be-
tween the two Winners.

BRIDGE TOLLS
NOT LOWERED
Bridge Directors Wish to
Investigate Before TAX
ing Action

The Kennewick and Pasco delega-
ton who went to Walla Walla Thurs
day to ask for reduced tolls on the
Columbia river bridge made but little
headway with the directors of the
bridge corporation. The board heard
the request and arguments of the WIS.,
itors and promised to put a man in
the field to make survey of the
traffic to ascertain how much the
bridge is losing to the Richland and
Hover ferries and what would be the
probable increase of local traffic
were tolls to be reduced.
The majority of the board takes the
position that their first duty is to the
stockholders and that in fairness to
them the board is not justified in re-
.dpeing tolls if the net earnings are
impaired thereby
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders, r. E. Pratt, of this city, and
Harry DeMuth, of Pasco, were re-
elected directors.
