BAPTISTS BEGIN.
SPECIAL SERVICES
H. August Hunderup Who is From
Dixieland To Conduct Evan
Gelical Services

A series of revival services opened
Sunday night at the First Baptist
church with Evangelist H. August
Hunderup in charge. In announcing
the services Rev. John A. Shaw, pas
tor says:
"Mr. Hunderup is an ordained min
lister of the gospel in the Baptist
denomination. He comes to Kenne-
wick not for dollars but for the good
of us all. Before it was arranged for
him to come we sent letters of in
quiry to responsible leaders Of our
termination who know him and his
work. Mr.. Hunderup has not seen
these letters in which the writer's
speak Of him and his work in the
highest terms.
"He is Christian gentleman true
and clean. In his work and preaching
he antagonixes no one. He breaches
Christ and every virtue. Fearlessly
and without favor he fights sin. He
has no fads to exploit and no books
to sell. He is through optimist. The
man or woman with crouch drops
it before the Hunderup story and
simile. He is up from Dixie land
and can sing as only a southerner
can.
"Hear him next Sunday morning
on Big Business and in the evening
on Nobody at Home"

public. Edwin Smith, secretary, had
intended to be present and explain

plan for procedure.
The committee, A. c. Cherry, its
attorney, and Smith had planned to
leave tonight for Seattle to confer

of Commerce and with Northwest
bankers tomorrow. On account of
Smith being on the stand at the
bulk hearing it is doubtful if the
board will get away until Thursday

night and this morning in going over
legal and detailed features.

DR.. Mccormack Says Moth
ers and Fathers are to
be Congratulated .
CHILDREN SHOW
GOOD HOME CARE
Two Hundred Fifty Little
Tots are Examined at
Health Conference

The mothers and fathers Of the
Kennewick- Richland district have ev-
cry reason to be proud Of their kid
dies. They are fine lot. This is the
message which DIR. p. ID. Mccormack
child specialist, asked the Courier
Reported to convey to the parents
after he had examined more than 200
little tots at the Children's Health
Conference now in progress.
DIR. Mccormack left last evening
for his home in Spokane and the ex-
animation work today is being done
by local physicians. IL is expected
that when the conference closes this
evening $50 children under the age
of six will have been weighed, meas
ured and thoroughly examined.
The Spokane specialist was delight
ed with the conference and highly
complimented the ladies Of the Kenne-
wick Woman's club who have had
charge of the arrangements. "This
is one Of the best organized and best
handled conferences of this arind
that / have ever seen," said DR.. Nc
cornack. "There hasn't been a dis
cordant note nor a disappointment
anywhere. The finest possible spirit
has been shown on every hand. The
parents have been so interested in
the work, the ladies and the assisting
nurses have been so efficient, and
the local physicians and dentists so
willing that it has been real joy to
be hear.
"The most gratifying thing about
the conference is the exceptionally
fine physical condition of the child
rem. Out of the 200 children there
have been very few cases of parental
neglected and carelessness and very
small percentage Of serious physical
defects. The parents are to be con-
graduated and the condition Of these
children reflects credit upon the COM
munity. The conference has proved
that the mothers and fathers are Civ
ing thought and attention TO the
rearing of their children"
Those who have assisted at the con-
ference are as delighted with the re-
suits as is DIR. Mccormack and it is
the intention Of the Woman's club
to hold similar conference at least
once year If not oftener.
The conference is part Of the ma
tional health program which is fl
nanced by the Shepard -Towner law
passed last year. The expenses Of the
conference however, are small as DR..
Mccormack and the local physicians
made no charge for their services.
The conference here, as are the
others in this state, was directed and
held under the personal supervision
of Mrs. Jane Il. Dahlman, executive
secretary Of the Hygiene division Of
the state board of health. Mrs. Dahl
man was ably assisted by Miss Erick-
son, state advisory nurse of the same
division, Miss Monica Weber, Benton
county nurse, and local trained nurs-
es.
Mrs. Dahlman was also highly
pleased with the success of the con-
ference.

MOULTON is
CHOSEN AGAIN
His Reelection Leaves the
Personnel of School
Board Unchanged

Considering that nobody really
wanted to be school director and that
there was no contest, the annual elec-
tion aSturday was rather a lively af-
fair after all. There were 396 votes
cast, Of which M. M. Moultons receiv-
ed PIT and C. C. Williams 152.
Mr.. Williams stated earlier in the
week that he was not a candidate but
many of his friends refused to accept
his refusal and voted for him.
The result of Saturdays election
leaves the personnel of the district
board unchanged. The other two mem
bers are F. L. Fraser and F. j. Ar
mold.

EXPECT RAPIDS
REPORT SOON
Government to Act on Ap-
plication for Priest
Rapids Project

Announcement of the governments
action on the application for a $780,
O00,0 power development project at
Priest Rapids on the Columbia river
is expected within the next ten days.
This was the statement of Milton E.
Dam yesterday upon his return from
a trip to the site, with his brother,
Everett S. Dam, Col. w. j. Barden,
United States district engineer at
Seattle, and John N. Cobb, of the col
lege Of fisheries, University Of Wash
ington.-Says the Seattle Post Intel
legencer.
The Dam brothers took Colonel
Barden and Professor Cobb to the
site to check up on informatin con-
tanned in a report filed last November
with the federal power commission
when the application was made in
the name of the Washington Irriga-
ton & Development Company.
This concern is backed by the
General Electric Company Of New
York. The company propose TO con-
struct a $2s, ,000, 900 ninety foot dam
to harness Priest Rapids and to con-
struct other features that will re-
suit in fully developing the water
power resources Of the rapids.
Should the application be granted
work would start on the big project
during this year, it is said.
The salmon packing interests of
the lower Columbia have so far en-
tered the only protest on the claim
that the dam would prevent salmon
from reaching the headwaters to
spawn. Company officials declare the
salmon run to the head-waters in re-
cent years has become negligible.

FIRE HALTS
BRIDGE WORK
Air COMPRISING Outfit at
O-W. Railroad Crossing
Destroyed this Morn !.

Fire at 7:3O this morning almost
totally destroyed the air compress
sor and machinery and blacksmith
shop at the new O-W. r. & N. bridge
over the Columbia below this city.
The loss will amount to several
thousand dollars. The fire is thought
to have originated from sparks on
the roof of the compressor car.
The equipment destroyed was used
to furnish compressed air for drill
ing the old piers preparatory to
blasting them from the river channel.
The work was being rushed in an eff
fort to complete the removal of
the piers before high water. Other
equipment will be secured as soon
as possible and the work continued.

THISTLE is
FEVER CAUSE
Hay Fever Expert Says
Russian Wedd is Offender
in Yakima Valley

Guy Hollister of the Hollister-Stier
laboratories of Spokane was in Ken
newick today with message of good
cheer to local hay fever victims. He
says that Russian thistle is the cause
Of the most of the hay fever through
out the Yakima valley and excellent
results have been obtained from the
serum treatment.
serums from thirty hay fever pol
lens and while here he applied the test
Mr.. Holilster carries with him
of the thirty to number of hay few
er sufferers. In almost every instance
there was a psitive reaction from
the Russian thistle test and in most
cases this was the only pollen to
which there was a positive reaction.
Patients in order to avail them
selves of the treatment should see
a physician from weeks to 2 months
before the probable beginning Of their
attack. They can be tested out with
the different pollens and the treat
nent completed by the time the us
ual hay fever symptoms develop.
The Russian thistle treatment was
tried by local physicians with not
very satisfactory results. The reason
for this, the physicians are now con-
vince, was that the serum used last
year lost strength very rapidly and
had become inert before it was used.
A new process Of serum manufacture
has been perfected and the new pro-
duct will retain its potency much
longer than that in general use last
year.

There are too many High school
alumni around for one to be safe
in saying that Nothing But the

Liberty theatre, was the best school
show ever given in Kennewick, but it
was as good as the best. The play
itself is clever thing and the parts
were 'cleverly taken by youthful per-

filled to capacity and the senior class
treasury is much fatter as a result
of the effort.
