GOOD SPACE ALLOTMENT
FOR FESTIVAL DISPLAY

Half of the window space in the
Kohls Shoe store and half OF the Stor-
li--Carpentier window n been
| awarded to White Bluffs for display
at the Harvest Home Festival in Yaki-
ma on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day of next week. The Storasli win
dow has been assigned to the soldier
settlers and the Kohls window will
be used for the community exhibit.
Only tray exhibits will be shown so
that variety and quality is more inn
portant than quantity. The stuff for
exhibit must leave While Bluffs We'd
nesday morning, the 18th. The Har-
vest Home Festival committee will
pay all expenses Of the arrangement
and display of the exhibits except the
transportation from each community
to Yakima. The Community Club at
White Bluffs will look after the trans
portation if the growers will furnish
the products. $500 cash prizes for
plate exhibits are offered while the
best community prize is $100. A 500
prize will also be given the decorator
who puts up the winning exhibit so
that there will be an inducement for
him to do his best. Any grower hav-
ing nice stuff that would be credit
to the community can get in touch
with the club by calling John McFee
and if necessary the stuff will be put
on ice at once.
H. B. Bayer, superintendent of the
poultry show at the Harvest Festival,
promises an exhibit which will exceed
in number and quality of birds any,
thing ever attempted in Central Wash
ington. All ranchers who have good
birds are urged to enter them and find
out just how good they are. The edu-
oational feature of the show will not
be overlooked.
Seventy-hve prizes valued at from
SIS to $40 each and ranging from saw
ings accounts to loving cups and from
shoes to hats, and including various
brands of feed and farm implements
have been offered by local merchants
and bankers. First, second and third
ribbons will be given for birds and
pens. Premiums will be awarded for
the best display of each breed, and a
loving cup given to the bird scoring
the most points in the show. An entry
fee of 20 cents for bird or so cents
for pen will be charged to defray
cost Of care and feeding of fowls while
on exhibit.
Judging will be in the capable hands
of L. B. Losey of Granger, who has
judged poultry at various shows thru
out the Northwest for the past Is
years.
With no livestock on exhibit the
poultry will be center of interest
and indications are that space will be
at premium before the doors open,
as breeders who have never before ex-
hibited are already asking for space.

FEW REAc1oRs

During the month Of July and Aug
ust, DR.. Barber, of the State Dept.
of Agriculture, tested 8s7 head of
cattle in Benton County from Rich
land to Finley.
Of the 438 tested in the Kennewick
Finley district three reactors were
found and at Richland only one out of
44o. This is very fine report when
we consider that it means less than
one half of one per cent, and is far
below the average of the entire state.
1t is not SO good when we take into
consideration that Richland here re-
main 200 head hat were not tested and
at least one half of the Kennewick
Finley cattle were not entered for the
test. DIR. Barber feels that the cattle
that were not tested were just the ones
that probably need it most.
At the presdnt time o in 6 but
public sentiment can force these own
ers to test. If people refuse to buy
milk from nom tested herds, the own
ers will realize the necessity for hav-
ing it done. No one can afford to neg
lee thits phase of sanitation. Benton
County has beet1 heralded as health
haven. If we would keep this reputa-
ton can we afford to allow milk to be
sold from untested cows and run the
risk Of spreading tuberculosis among
our children?
At the Club Camp at Pullman in
Junt, the doctor who examined the
children for the health contest, said
that there was strong evidence of over
work among the children of Wash
ington. This might easily apply to the
farm children of Benton County as
the work here is Of such nature that
children are able to do great deal Of
it. If this is financially necessary, we
should then do all in our power to
protect them in other ways.
People who are at the top notch Of
the health ladder do not often become
a prey of this disease. 1t is the person
who is over tired, run down or under
nourished that is the victim. This is
particularly applicable TO children as
they are using all of their strength to
grow and have little left to fight di-
sease. It is up to us to protect them
with overy means in our power. They
need milk. It is the safest source of
muscle building material and h e
greatest source of bone building ma
terial. Every child should have at
least one pint and better than one
quart of it daily. They can not afford
to be without it for a single day. This
being the case it is up to us to make
it safe food for them.
DR.. Barber will resume his testing
work in Benton County on September
9th. Leave your name or secure a
blank from your local newspaper Of
flee, to have your COWS tested Let's
make Benton County cows Tubercu-
losis free by Christmas. Can you think
of better Christmas present for your
children and your community?

Importance of Shoulder Strap
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

Literally everything about an eve
ring frock depends on the shoulder
strap, and tiguratively 1t is almost as
important. The whole effect of q
clever gown may be marred if. the
shoulder strap is badly adjusted or
commonplace. And 1T is especially
important since the sleeveless gown
of the shoulder strap variety has be-
come almost a uniform for really for
NAL evening wear this winter.
The clever and skillful arrangement
OF the shoulder strap is an earmark
OF the expert dressmaker, and the
ability to keep ones shoulder straps
III place without constant lingering
or apparent concern is a distinction
oI the woman who has the innate
knack of dress. 1t is difficult for the
woman who wears formal evening
dress only few very state occa-
slons
So important has the shoulder strap
become that the jewellers are turn
ing the idea to profitable account.
Now a pair of pearl or diamond
shoulder straps is pretty little trifle
to gladden. the eye of any woman.
.fcom Paris comes an interesting little
shoulder strap of crystal beads with
clasps so arranged that it will fasten
t6 the chemiSe or slip and also to
the, gown, thus holding outer and under
apparel in position.
The rhinestone or diamante ShouI-
der strap is especially admired in
Paris as an accessory of the black

into such high favor. The perfectly

that to save me, and sustain me, and
make me useful, and bring me to
heaven" and yet makes no real effort
to be good or to do good. Is like q

Then you will know the power that
now you only know about.
Is there any reason why our lives
should be feeble and stagnant and
worthless?
Is there any reason why we should
not overcome temptation and endure
trial, and work the works of God In
the world. and come at last to the
height of His abode in heaven?
Only one-that we do not know
Him who is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or

-worketh in us.
Lay hold on Him by faith and all
things are possible.

Standard Sizes.

Table linen can be bought by the
yard or by the pattern CLOTH" Some
women feel that they save money
by buying table linen by the yard,
and making it, UP themselves, but
there Ia really very little saving.
About the only advantage in buying
by the yard Is that one can in that
way get the exact size desired. How
ever, as tablecioths now come in more
than thirty sizes, there ought not to
be any difficulty on that score. Cloths
can be obtained in size from one
yard square up. AS rule, table
linen runs 5s, 81, 6S and 72 inches
wide.
When planning for the length OF
ia ablecloths to be purchased. meas
ure the size Of the table closed, or
as 1t Is generally used. and then al
low one yard extra for the cloth to
hang down a half yard at each end.
One-half yard more is added for each
leaf that Is to be added to the table.
The unhemmed tablecloths also come
In four and five yard squares for cut
ting round.
One advantage in buying the pat
tern cloths Is that the border then
runs all the way around, instead of
only on two sides. The hemmed or
scailoped tablecloths come in sizes
36x36, 54x54, 72x72. 80x80 and 90xSo.
