Others Stage Circus in
Garage

There was real live circus in town
this week. The performers were Tom
and John Warnock, Herbert Crawford,
Lester Larson and Jim Beste and the
performance took place in the War

in the audience. There were the usual
pop corn, peanut and candy booths.
There was music with special num-
ber by Miss Mary Harvey. Wrestling
bouts, boxing, shooting gallery, a
performance by Spark Plug were
among the features. Judging by the
applause the audience was highly
pleased and the boys say the most
fun was in the rehearsals which have
been going. on for the past week or
so.
Wednesday afternoon the little girls
in the same neighborhood, entertained
their small friends and their parents
with costume party given at the
same place.

Volley Ball is Still Going Strong
With Athletic Club Members
volley ball is still going strong
with members of the Athletic asso-

good lead with the other three teams
tied for second place.
For the benefit of some of the

wrestling and boxing have been or
ganized. These classes will perform
each basketball night from seven until
eight.
Although they did their best to
stage a comeback last Friday night,
the best the Kennewick town basket
Dailers could do was to check up 8
scores to Prosser's 40. Monday eve

MOST OF HAY
is SHIPPED
Northwest Association Re.
ports That There Will
Be No Carry-Over

Many rumors as to the actual hay
situation in the State Of Washing
ton have been circulated and with a
view of correcting this condition and
believing that accurate information
is of general public value, the North
west Hay association has just COM
pleted a careful survey of the situa.
tion.
In examining the records of the
railway shipments it appears tina,
90 per cent of the hay of Yakims
Valley is shipped over the Northern
Pacific and that the record of this
railway can be taken as a fair bar.
ometer to the hay movement.
The averagescar movement for the
past three years over this line from
|Eastons to Pasco, for the season, July
1st to June 30th of the succeeding
year is 1921 cars and that the low.
est figures for any year was 12768
That during the average year about
one third moves before January Is,
and two thirds after.
That prior to January 1st, 1923
there had been shipped over this line
573S cars as compared to 5548 cars
for the proceeding season.
A very careful district survey OBJ
tanned to date shows that there is
now in this territory not to exceed
5700 cars Of which both the Milwau-
kee and o. w. will take some toll
This will mean that if every tor
available is shipped that the valley
will establish new low figure OF
hay movement this season.
In the Yakima Valley and the Wal
La Walla Valley and that part of Ore
gon shipping through the Wallula GAP
there is available less than 1000 cars,
much of which is hay unfit for ship
ment.
It must be borne in mind that last
season there was a practical clean ur
of hay and there was much hay dam
aged during the last summer.
It is not unusual to see a small
carry over of hay in an occasional
season but the present situation does
not justify the assumption of car
ry over this year.

Commercial club members in their
present state of tuning up will not
win any prizes for community singing

today's luncheon. Rev. A. H. F. Wat
kins, the new secretary. sprung an in

plate. When the secretary announced
No. Al and started to sing the club
members "done noble" but were a lit
tie shy on both volume and harmony.

will probably have the assistance of
the Star orchestra, whose offer was
reconsidered and acted favorably upon
by vote of the club today at noon.

the luncheons banquets and other SIM
liar club functions and to accompany
the club on trade tours without charge

clubs offer for the reason that the
Legion could not carry on its social

at the regular meeting next Thurs
day evening. Plans are being work
ed out, the committee reported,
whereby the rooms can be furnished
without drawing on the regular
finances Of the club.
Scott z. Henderson, of Tacoma, who
was q guest at the luncheon, spoke
briefly. He congratulated the club
upon it's evidences of taking on new
life and new activities. NJ. NJ. Moul-
