MONEY NEEDED
FOR LIBRARY
More Members Needed to
Maintain This Splendid
Institution

Are you a member of the Kenne-
wick Library association? If not you
should be. II is doing an excellent
work in the community and needs
support.
In some respects the bequest of
$4,000 from the Amy M. Bartlett es-
tate is proving handicap to the Ii
brary. Too many people are of the
opinion that with this money the Ii
brary needs no additional support.
In fact the Library association did
rot get this money. 1t gets only the
interest from it and this interest
money can be used only to purchase
books and only certain kinds of books.
The librarians records show that
the greatest demand is for fiction
and mostly lighter fiction. While
some of the Bartlett money is being
used to purchase heavier fiction the
most Of it is for the purchase Of the
so-called foundation books which
should be found in every library.
In addition to the Bartlett book
fund the Library has two sources of
revenue. 1t receives annually about
$3.50 from the city and the other
source is membership dues. From
these sums the salary of the libra
rian must be paid and all other ex-
penses met. The fixed expenses
amount to between $500 and $400
which leaves very little for the pur-
chase of periodicals and books which
cannot be purchased from the Bart
lett fund.
At present the Library is greatly
in need of more money and the asso-
citation is sending out, plea for more
members. They hope to enroll at least
200. The annual membership fee is
SO cents and there should be MEM
bership of at least 500.
Drop into the library, hand fifty
cents to the librarian and become a
member.

NO FEE FOR
THE LADIES
Women to be Given Member.
ship in Golf Club With
out Charge -.

At special meeting Monday eve-
ming the Kennewick Golf club went
on record as not in favor of equal
rights. All women who desire to play
are to be given memberships in the
club without payment of the five
dollar membership fee required of
the men.
This decision was arrived at after
lengthy and at times, spirited dis
cussion. 1t is in effect a scaling down
of estimates of necessary revenues
as reported by special finance COM
mittee. This committee recommended
that the men pay membership fee
of $500 and monthly dues Of S1.00;
that the women be required to pay
$3.50 membership fees and dues Of
so cents month. 1t also recommend
ed green's fee of 25 cents a game
for nonmembers.
Not only did the membership vote
down the proposed membership fee
for women but they Topped so cents
off the proposed monthly dues for
men and fixed the dues at 80 cents
per month for all members both men
and women, and eliminated the
green's fee. This schedule is to be
effective only for three months from
April 1, or until the actual amount
necessary to maintain the course has
been ascertained.
At present there are about 65 men
members in the club and with the ex-
ception Of very few all are en-
thusiastic golfers. In fact at the pres
ent time the Golf Club is the pep
piest organization in the community.

shin Contest Say They
Enjoyed the Work

NJ. membership of the Kennewick
Commercial club is at one OF the hlgh
ooa .ar marks in its history. At today's
,..sheon President Gordon c. Moores
..nrounced that since January l, the
,asmbership had grown from So to
,co which he believes is the largest
.ots, .v Of active members ever on the
soster' % Not only is this the highest
membership total but there is larg-
- nercentage of farmer members
tban ever before. :, /,
thirty new members were added
hv the drive which the classes OF the
bieb school put on last week and in
recognition of the splendid work OF
the Juniors, who won the contest,
members Of that class team were
luncheon guests Of the club.
Bert Plowman, chairman of the
contest committee, expressed the
clubs appreciation of the students
work and predicted that as result
Of the survey which they made as a
mart of the contest at least % more
new members would be added within
4 short time.
Responding to Mr.. Plowman, Rob
ert Mattecheck, captain of the win
ming team, said the high school work
era undertook the campaign enthus-
iastically because they felt indebted
to the Commercial club for the loyal
support it has always given student
activities. High school students, he
said, considered it their duty to recip-
rocate and had derived valuable ex-
perience and real pleasure from the
effort. He explained that the Juniors
success had been largely due to the
work of Harry Pearson who person
ally secured the applications of IL
new members.
Young Pearson declared that maxi
ing the survey and soliciting new
members had really been lark and
he had enjoyed it immensely. He
made his solicitation on the High
lands and in the River Road district
and was impressed with the fine
community spirit shown by the res
idents Of those neighborhoods. "The
people upon whom / called are to be
congratulated for their hospitality"
said the boy. Invariably when I
called at a home and stated the pur-
pose Of my visit, I was invited into
the parlor, given the biggest and cas-
lest chair and in every way made to
feel at home. In nearly every instance
the people upon whom called did
most of the talking and there wasn't
much left for me to do"
Eloise Craver, the high point win
ner among the Junior girls thanked
the club members for their support
Of high school activities. Gene
Spaulding, manager of the Junior
play, reminded the clubmen that they
could show their appreciation of the
students work in a very material
way by occupying seats at the Lib
erty this Friday evening.

LOCALS LOSE
FIRST GAME
Benton City Takes Opening
Contest from Kennewick
Six to Two

Although they dropped the open
ing game of the Benton County
league season, Kennewick's baseball
team hopes to hit winning pace
next Sunday when Benton City plays
here.
Sundays game at Benton City was
good one considering that the teams
have had little practice. Kennewick
outhit the Benton lads but their hits
came at times when they didn't mean
runs. Manager Ferrell has no alibis
to offer and is well pleased with the
performance of his men. Glispey was
in the box for Kennewick and gave
a mighty good account of himself.
M. w. Mattecheck who attended
the game brings back good report
of the home team and predicts that
local fans will get more than their
moneys worth from the little league
this summer. Notwithstanding that
Kennewick's team is an all-home
product with most Of the players
high school boys. Mr.. Mattecheck is
of the opinion that Kennewick has
the best line up it has had for several
years.
Hanford took their opening game
Sunday from Richland by score of
8 to /. These two teams will meet in
Hanford Sunday.
The game here will be called
promptly at 8 o'clock and the ad.
mission charge will be 25 cents, the
price fixed by the league for all
games.
There is possibility that the
league will be increased from four
to six teams. White Bluffs and Pasco
have made applications to come in
and their requests will be considered
at an early date by league officials.
Pasco has one team in the Blue
Mountain league but they have
another team known as the town
team which they wish to enter in the
local league.

JUNIORS PROMISE
EXCELLENT SHOW
They Predict That "Come Out of the
Kitchen" will be Long
Remembered

At the rate at which reservations
are being made at Vibber- Gifford's
indications are that the Junior play
will draw a. crowded house at the
Liberty Friday evening. The Juniors
promise that "Come Out Of the Kit
cher" is going to be one of those
plays that will be long remembered.
The cast, and practically all the
class, have been doing a lot of work
in order to make this one of the best
plays the high school has ever pro-
duced. And those who have seen the
play are convinced that it is.
The story of the play is unusually
those aristocratic Virginia families
we so often hear about who are both
proud and poor. They have fine
home, but lack money, and the faith
er, who is in Europe for his health,
must have an operation. 1t is i'm
possible to borrow, SO in order to
raise funds, they decide to rent their
home for time to a rich yankee.
The well-to-do New Englander stip-
ulates that the owner shall furnish
competent staff Of white servants.
This they find hard to do, SO after
despairing of finding the required
servants, the daughter Olivia Dain-
gerfield, who is willing to make any
sacrifice for her father. suggests to
her family that she and her sister
and two brothers disguised, will act
as the domestic staff for the wealthy
yankee, Burton Crane. The many
complications and Incidents of the
play will hold you from the start.

William G.. McAdoo and James A.
Reed, certainly, and possibly Oscar
w. Underwood, all aspirants for the
Democratic presidential nomination,
will address the voters of Georgia
probably during the latter part of
February or early in March.
AS a native Georgian, Mr.. McAdoo
hopes to attend the homecoming cell
ebration in Cobb county. to which
he has been invited. 1T is his de-
sire, also, to visit MilIedgeville, the
scene of his boyhood. and there de
liver an address.
The former cabinet officer outlined
these desires in a telegram received
Tuesday morning by Thomas j. Ham
ilton, Of Augusta, who has been
elected state chairman of the Nc
Adoo For-President Club of Georgia.
Mr.. Hamilton plans to open head
quarters in Atlanta Immediately, ana
announced that an active campaign
will be waged in Mr.. McAdoo's can
didacy.
At the Underwood headquarters
in the kimball house, it was stated
Tuesday morning that Senator I'm
derWood's campaign is in fine shape.
His campaign committee, 1t was an
nounced, has perfected a state organ
ization that has met with much en-
engagement. 1t is possible that
the senator may visit Georgia be-
fore the presidential primary to adj
dress the voters in Atlanta or else

At the office of Ex-Governor Thorn

Of Lenine to result in any immediate
radical change in conditions in Rus
STA or in the conduct of that coun-
try's foreign policy.
Actual control, both of the political
machinery and of governmental
agencies in Russia, is expected to be
confirmed in the hands of a triumVi-
rate headed by Kamenev, vice presi-
dent both of the soviet of people 5
cOmmissars and of the federation of
soviet republics. kamenev has been
exercising, in an acting capacity
most Cf me powers ofELenine since
the latter's illness virtually incapaci.
tated him many months ago.
Gradually since Lenine's illness
drew him out of the. active circle, a
division of opinion has arisen within
the communist party as to whether
there should CO.. tinue a dictatorship
with political power vested in the
hands of Il few men, or whether the
source of power should be drawn
from IL much wider field and be more
that of d representative government.
TrOtzky, until comparatively
short time, agreed that strong cen

best form of governmental machin-
cry. Gradually, as opinion within
the communist party began to di-
verge on the point, however, Trotzky
leaned to the other side, and, in r~-
cent months, has been disclosed as
the leader of the characterization
group. IN that capacity he waged
battle only a short time ago. in the
communist party conferences and
was decisively defeated by the Ia.
manev-Stalin-Zinoviev group.
In effect, all of the political devel
opments of the last few months in
Russia, although screened for a long
time by the remarkably close control
exercised by the communist, party
are regarded here as discounting the
political Importance of the passing
OF Lenine, and as having brought al
ready into effect the establishments
that might otherwise have been ex.
pected to follow his death.
