None Of the teams expect to be at

That is, the loser will feed.
In centering our attention on the
volley ball stars we must not forget
the activities of the basketballers.
Inc association team went over to
rasco last Saturday evening and took
tnat team to an awful beating. The
score OF twenty six TO nineteen in our
favor loomed up On the score book af-
ter the din of battle had subsidized.

GOLFERS HAVE
BIG BANQUET
Golf Club Sits In Yearly
Meeting to Decide Func-
tion of Club

The first annual banquet of the
Kennewick Golf club was held in the
Commercial club rooms last Tuesday
night.
Nearly forty members were present
at the meeting. The Methodist ladies
did very well in preparing the BAN
quet and, being neatly served, was
enjoyed by all who were present. The
Star orchestra played during the din
ner and received loud applause
after every selection.
After the dinner was over, the
meeting was opened to business and
officers for the coming year We're
elected. w. C. Muldrow was elected
president. Other officers were Her.
bert Shanafelt, secretary and treas
urer and Win Gascoigne, chairman Of
the tournament committee. These
three and the chairmen Of the other
two appointed committees will COM
prise the executive committee which
will handle all the affairs of the club
that are not important enough to call
for special meeting.
DR.. Tullar gave talk at the be-
ginning of the meeting the theme Of
which was to make course that we
would not be ashamed Of. After Of
ficers were elected the meeting was
turned over to the new president.
The matter of dues was settled by
fixing a twelve dollar yearly due, pay
able, one-half April 1st and the bal
ance June 1st., and by making last
quarters dues payable Immediately.
A committee consisting of r. <.
Reed, w. II. Gascoigne, H. Vibber,
M. w. Mattecheck, j. w. vickers and
H. c. Schmidt was appointed to in
vestigate new grounds for a course.
Much mention was made about a
piece of land south of town just above
the bench. This seems to be the
place where a permanent course will
be located if il can be had.

MANY ATTEND
CLUB MEETING
Pres. Rodgers Says New
Plan is Attracting
Good Attendance

The new plan adopted by the club
at previous meeting seems to work
fine. That is if all the bureaus come
to the front like the entertainment
bureau. That bureau had good eats,
good music, good program and a good
spirit.
The entertainment committee was
at the head of the meeting last Thurs
day. They being first, it must have
entered their plans to make the meet
ing one that would be hard to equal
for they surely did the thing up
brown.
In the progress Of the business
meeting the Star orchestra stepped
in and entertained the club with a
number of selections. When they had
to leave they were given a strong
sendoff by the club. Members rose
and commended on the good playing
of the orchestra.
Business was resumed and the club
went on record as being in sympathy
with the stand Governor Hartley
made on the Child Labor amendment.
Some of the best eats that were
ever served in the rooms Were served
for refreshments. They consisted of
sandwiches, home made doughnuts
and coffee.
If the meetings continue to increase
as they have been, it will not be long
before the Commercial club will be
looking around for larger place TO
assemble.

GET TESTS ON
FRUIT SAMPLES
Results on Inspection Show
No Necessity for. Serious
Alarm

Kennewick and all other places that
raise our kind of fruit in this district
have suffered somewhat by the freez-
ing weather experienced in Decem-
ber. Following the general rule, af-
ter freeze rumors start around Civ
ing cause for a lot Of excitement
which in most instances are partly
without grounds. Knowing this and
also knowing that such reports do
the grower or the public no good, p.
A. Combelic, horticultural inspector,
gathered samples of all fruit grown
in this district and sent them to the
Washington State College laborator-
les to be tested. After being tested
o. M. Morris, head Of the department
Of horticulture, gave the results of
the test in the following letter:
"Yours of the Goth and the bundle
of twigs at hand.
81 found on the Winesap wood no
apparent injury either in buds, spurs,
or twigs. In the Anjou pears there
were a few buds killed. The spurs
We're slightly injured and there are
possibilities of this resulting in Sc
yer injury with unfavorable weather
during the remaining part Of the win
ter. The Winter Nelis was in gen
eral better condition than the Anjou.
The fruit buds were more uniformly
injured, but the spurs and wood show
less injury.
"The Bartlett pear was injured
more than the Anjou and showed the
injury in wood and spur. The buds
of the Bartlett showed injury to the
floral envelops, Or the calyx, and CO.
rolla scales as at present formed.
The staymens. however, and pistil
formations seemed very generally TO
be in good condition. The Delicious
apple showed some browning of the
buds. In most Of these the pith has
turned brown just below the terminal
bud. / do not. believe however, that
this is sufficiently serious TO cause
any alarm.
The Bing cherry buds were in good
condition. The spurs are dark in the
combium and wood. II seems prob
able that about 10 per cent of the
spurs are sufficiently injured to cause
the loss Of all material they carry.
They are all sufficiently injured to be
easily killed by unfavorable weather
later in the year. The probabilities
seem to be that the pear and cherry
crops will be materially reduced, but
the apple crop will probably not be
seriously affected"
The Johnathan wood sent later,
shows relatively no injury. The buds
show little injury in the browning
of the tips of the floral envelopes,
With favorable weather conditions
these blossoms should be able TO pro-
duce a fair crop, although some few
blossoms are killed.
His letter does not contain anything
concerning strawberries for the rea-
son that they had not yet gone thru
examination when this letter was
written. Reports of this crop will
follow in another letter.

BOYS GOOD AT
COURT OF HONOR
Court Ranks Among First
in Council Says Scout
Executive Dayton

The Court of Honor, held at the
Commercial club rooms last Monday,
is given the report of being among
the best in the whole Blue Mountain
council of the Boy Scouts. To CON-
mand such a report the boys must
know their work and be able to give
it in front of not only the home folks,
but visitors from all the surrounding
troops. Included in the attendance
was scout Executive A. Dan Dayton
who very highly praised the work
of the scouts.
The Court of Honor was made up
of ]. C. Perry, R. E. Reed and Her
man Schmidt. Dan Dayton acted as
chairman of the court.
After the scouts have passed their
tests individually, it is the work of
the court to quiz them before the
audience to see If they are fully
qualified to receive their badges.
When this is done and the scout has
answered every specification, he is
awarded the badge according to the
tests he has taken.
The scouts answered the quiz with
promptness and with understanding
There was no sign of failure with
any member which was the big factor
in gaining the good will of the coun-
Gil. Dan Dayton pinned the badges on
the proud scouts and at the same
time gave them an encouraging talk,
complimenting them on the work
well done. District Commissioner
Archie Copeland of Pasco was pres
ent and gave favorable comment on
the proceedings.
Badges and pins were awarded to
the following scouts: Second class,
Paul Duffy of troop 2; Richard Tul-
lar troop /. First class pins, James
Beste troop L; George Hinke, Leon
ard Kincaid, George Broughman, Geo.
Sheppard, Harold Nelson and Fran
els Mills troop 2. Merit badges were
awarded to Joe Siegfried and Cecil
Boyer of troop each receiving 4
awards.
Not only did Mr.. Dayton comment
on the good work of the scouts but
also remarked that the men arrang-
ing the court of honor and working
in it made the court one that was not
to be outdone by any court attended
by him in the council.
After the court of honor H. c.
Schmidt, chairman of the finance
committee of the Kennewick district
called meeting at which some twelve
organizations were represented. Plans
were made to collect funds needed to
carry on the Boy Scout work.
Another court of honor is being con-
templated for about six weeks hence.
