DEATH CALLS
OLD PIONEER
C.. E. Cox Who Has EARNED
Here for Twenty Years
Passes Away

C.E. Cox one of the pioneer farm
ers of the Kennewick Valley, passed
away Monday at the farm home
where he had lived nearly twenty
wears. Funeral services were conduct
ed at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the
home by Rev. A. A. Calender, OF the
M. E. church. Interment was in River
View Heights cemetery.
Mr.. Cox's death was due to an at
tack of pneumonia and followed a
brief illness.
He was born in Springfield, Illi-
nois, August %, 1853 and was mar
ried to Miss Alice Daniel, January
%, 1881. He resided in Kansas until
the fall of 1883 when he went to Mis-
souri,. The following year he came
west and settled at Cosmopolis,
Washington where he lived until 1904
when he came to this valley.
Mr.. Cox was one of the few first
settlers who came to this district soon
after irrigation development was
started. He purchased tract Of raw
desert land on the banks of the Col
umbia and through years Of hard
work and constant effort brought it
to stage of successful production.
In the face of the many hardships
and disappointments which beset the
pioneer farmers, Mr.. Cox carried on
uncomplainingly and never lost faith
in the agricultural future of this dis
trict.
Mr.. Cox leaves a widow and two
sons. Henry C. Cox, the eldest son
was on his way here from his home
in Ell Dorado Kansas, when his faith
er passed away. The younger son,
Lester L. Cox makes his home on the
fathers farm.
Mr.. Cox was a member Of the
Methodist church and of the Wood
man of the World, being clerk of the
Finley Camp.

PULL OFF FRUIT
OR SPRAY TREES
Horticultural Inspector Says I'm
sprayed Orchards Must be
Denuded Of Fruit

: District horticultural Inspector
Hill has announced that apples must
be picked from the trees Of all un-
sprayed orchards which adjoin spray
ed orchards. 20
"The apple crop in this county will
be light this year and it is imperative
that the grower who has q partial
crop produce a high percentage of
extra fancy fruit. If there is worm
nest in an unsprayed orchard across
the fence he cannot keep his apples
free from worm stings. This means
a high percentage of C-Grade or a
reduction of fifty cents a box to the
grower. 1t is the civic duty Of every
grower to spray his orchard or pull
off all apples.
The first cover spray should be
on not later than May II; the second
spray no later than June 1 and the
third not later than June is. These
dates are given for the benefit of
those who are putting on the calyx
spray. This district is due for q very
light crop Of apples. The freeze
greatly reduced the number of apples
but it did not reduce the number of
worms. Consequently there will be
more worms to the apple than usual.
Those who did not get on the ca
lyx spray may as well forget the COW
er sprays for it is useless to try to
save the apples If the calyx cups have
not been protected"

STUDENT DANCE is
BEAUTIFUL AFFAIR
Milton Hooper Sets New Record fol
Artistic Appointments in
Kennewick

There are no ifs and ands about it,
the dance given by some Of the high
school students Friday evening in
honor of members of the graduating
class, in beauty of decorations and
artistic appointments outclassed any
social function ever given in Kenne-
wick
Under the artistic designing and
execution of Milton Hooper, Howe
hall was transformed into temple of
beauty. The entire ceiling Of the
large room was canopied with the in
termingling colors Of the Senior and
Junior classes wrought in crepe pa
per. The pillars thru the center of
the hall were masked behind grace
full paper hangings and the general
color scheme was carried out in ar
tistic pieces. Here and there about
the hall were suspended hanging
baskets of ferns and other growing
things which freshened the general
effect.
In corners and here and there along
the side walls ample davenports, easy
chairs and floor lamps lent an air
Of repose and refinement and rem
dered the time between dances sin
cere pleasure.
Music was furnished by the Lib
erty orchestra and all arrangements
were carried out under the direction
Of Bob Matchbox and Newton Null

ed a home run making the score
to 5. The next two up were out. Ben
ton City did not score again until the
9Th. They got two runs in the 9th,

on the big lot they blow-up. They
lose both courage and confidence.
A comparison l always like to
make is between the college bred
player and the sand lot bred player.
The college man usually has a diff
