With the exception of some of
!, the details, all of the plans have
heen completed for staging the
Second Annual White Bluffs Fair
next Friday and Saturday and there
is every indication that it will be
the largest and best show of its
kind ever held in the valley. Ey-
erybody is taking an interest. and
that is what makes success of any
community undertaking. In re-
sponse to personal invitations many
visitors from outside points are ex-
pected to attend and the desire to
make an impression on these visit
ors will have a part in bringing
out the largest and best of the val
ley's products for exhibition.
The following will be a few Of
the features Of the Fair:
/ One whole side of the hall will
be given over to vegetable dis.
play:
One booth will be used exclusive
ly for the exhibition of the many
different varieties of grapes grown
in the valley;
A rack with 20 foot pole will
be erected outside the hall, or
which will be exhibited the display
of corn;
A permanent building for exhib
iting poultry is to be erected neal
the hall and feature Of the poul
try exhibit will be the number OF
<, ducks shown.
The Allard-Vernita booth thai
attracted so much attention las
year will make strong bid agair
this year for first prize and they
will probably be contested by the
In n-Between folks, who also had {
good booth at the fair last year
Many of the Hanford farmers have
notified the committees of their in
tention of making displays and the
soldier-settler' booth will attrac
more than passing interest.
The Woman's department at The
Fair will have exhibits in the fol
lowing lines, canned vegetables
fruits, jams and jellies;; sewing
and needIework; baking, breads

types of dairy cows. All stock left
overnight will be housed in the
Roag barn across the street from

its of fruit and will furnish trays
for all exhibits. A tray in order
to compete in the fair must consis
of one layer of any commercial
pack.

ches, soft drinks. ice cream and hot

MAY RUN OR RUIN THE WORLD
Scientist Explains the Force That
Might Result From the Liber-
alton Of an Atom.

London-By liberation of the atom
man may some day control d force
which will perform the entire work Of
the world, but lf it gets beyond his
control it may blow the earth and all
Its inhabitants to pieces, Doctor Ash
ton of Cambridge declared In lecture
before the British association. The
chances Of such catastrophe are prac-
tically negligible, he explained.
"Professor Rutherford succeeded In
arranging a collision between the CEN
trail portions OF two atoms. The result
was the transmutation of the atoms
into entirely different forms of matter.
''The possibility of such transmuta.
ton on any scale is of enormous i'm
portance. If the amount of hydrogen
which goes to constitute a tablespoon
full Of water were transmitted into
fe!ium, the energy liberated would be
100000 kilowatt hours-one-seyenth or
the total amount Of electricity used in
London in day for lighting and pow
er purposes.
"The possibility has been discussed,
that this energy, when first liberated,
would lie out OF human control. In
that case, IL all the hydrogen on earth
were detonated into space, the success
full experiment would be published
throughout the entire universe AZ the
blrih of q neW star The probability
of this can,stroDhe is practically ne.-
ligihla.'

FIRST JONATHAN APPLES
ROLL TO MARKET

Although the days continue
warm. the nights for the past week
have been much cooler and the
Jonathan apples are beginning to
take on the color that they should
have had 10 days ago.
Most of the growers, by picking
for color only, have been able to
get off few. The Perham Fruit
company has shipped three cars
from White Bluffs, one of these
cars coming from Ira Hawley, man.
ager for the White Bluffs Land &
Irrigation company, who are pack
ing out this year in the Wenatchee
Valley Fruit Exchange warehouse.
The c. M. Kopp company has
rolled three cars of Johns from
White Bluffs and Hanford, and r.
l.. Johnson, representing the Kopp
company at Benton City, says that
his company expects to ship be-
tween 25 and 80 cars of Johns
from this valley this season. All
of the Johns handled by the Kopp
company were sold on an f. o. b.
cash basis and most of those
shipped by the Perham company
were also sold for cash.
The Perham Fruit company has
also shipped a car each of Grimes
Golden and King Davids, and the
Kopp company has during the past
week shipped three cars of d'Anjou
pears and one car of King David
apples.

MARITAL TROUBLES
(Prosscr Record -Bulletin)

Martin r. O'Brien, farmer. re.
siding near White Bluffs, filed
suit August IA in the superior
court in an effort to restrain his
wife, Kathryn O'Brien from
withdrawing money deposited in
Seattle banks.
According to the complaint
filed against her by the plaintiff,
Mrs. O'Brien has, since her mar
riage in 1913, dissipated practi-
cally all of the earnings of her
husband, and has interfered, by
violence and intimidation with
his business activities. The com
plant further alleges that Mrs.
O'Brien has purchased two Star
automobiles with part of the
money withdrawn from the
banks without the consent of the
plaintiff. The complaint, sets
forth that the purchase of the
automobiles was unnecessary as
Mrs. O'Bricn had Buick Six
at her disposal which was com
munity property.
OF $500 deposited in the
Washington Mutual Savings
bank, it is said there is at pre-
sent balance of $3643; Of 5000
deposited in the National City
Bank, there is 5000; and Of
$5,299 deposited in theNational
Bank of Commerce, there re-
mains $53.71. In addition to
money which she has obtained
by Withdrawals from these Seat
tie banks the defendant is al
legged to have in her possession
81 900 in bonds.
