STATE FAIR TO
OPEN MONDAY
This Years Exhibits and
Program are the Largest
and Best Ever Shown

The 10Th annual Washington State
Fair will open its gates next Mon
day for one week with an exception
al showing of the states resources,
a big amusement program and with
prospects for record breaking attend
ance, the best in its history.
After being omitted for one year
the promotion of this years fair got
under way late in the year with the
appointment in April of A.. E. Law
SON as secretary. Director of Agri-
culture Erie j. Barnes agreed with
Lawson that funds left over should
be added to those appropriated for
the 1925 show and an effort made to
put on the best fair ever held under
the auspices of the state.
The premium list for agricultural,
horticultural and other displays was
increased to $4,000 and $4,000 is
being paid for the amusement pro-
gram, including horse races, better
than the State Fair track has seen
for many years.
The larger educational exhibits
will include displays of agricultural
resources of twelve of the largest
producing counties, competing fol
prize and bonus money. Half dozer
districts of Yakima county, which i.
barred from the statewide contest
win show their products for honor.
and prizes. A number of large ship
ping firms which are also grower,

CITY TAX LEVY
NOT INCREASED
More Money to be Spent on
streets Only Other
DEBTS. Get No Raise.

pron,;se of more money to be spent
non the city's streets during the
.ar,;no wear is about the only out
s..nd;no feature of the budget as
r,epared by the council at their last
r,eeting. The budget for this year
sc pruned to the very limit---not
avon enough money allowed to wash
the windows of the city hall. Expens-
!. were cut in every place the council
conld figure. Many things desirable
v.re left undone to satisfy the in
.;.tant craving for lower taxes.
Last year the tax levy was the
hvest Kennewick has known for
vears. This year the levy will be
.hout the same, but there will be
more money for improvements, ow-
mo to the fact that the bonded in
debtedness is being gradually whit
tied away.
The bulk of the additional money
has been diverted to the street and
alley fund. New equipment has been
purchased and the city will employ
two men for the entire year to care
for the streets and the irrigating.
Other departments of the city have
their budgets cut down to the very
lowest possible figure and will for
the most part remain unchanged, The
treasurer, clerk, fire department and
police force will have to struggle
along another year with the limited
appropriations.
Taxpayers interested in the expen-
diture of the city's funds have the
estimate at their disposal at the
clerks office. improvements or sug-
gestions will be received by the coun-
Gil at a special meeting called for
that purpose on the first Monday in
October. The final budget must be
submitted by October 5th.

HARD LUCK

Otto Wolfe and son Chas. of Sc
attle spent the latter part of last
week among us. Mr.. Wolfe is owner
of cafe on 4th and Pike ST., Seat
tie. Returning home the gentlemen
encountered some hard luck just on
the outskirts of Kennewick. They
were motoring along at fair rate
of speed when a rock bounced up and
smashed hole in the gas tank, and
as result they were compelled to
return and seek local mechanic.

KEEP MONEY
MOVING HERE
Dollars Sent Out of Com
munity Reduces Chances
of Prosperity, Growth

This is an age of competition, an
age where the things that survive in
the business world are the things
that must prove their merit. Any
thing that is useless or inefficient
soon loses out in the strenuous race
for supremacy. So when you view
your successful business establish
ments in your home community you
are viewing those who have proven
their merit and right to your pat
ronage and consideration.
The business field in the small
towns especially, is not exclusive to
anybody. The game is open to any
body who desires to enter and cares
to risk the necessary capital. Nobody
faces tiarcer competition on every
hand than the country merchant. A
dissatisfied customer does not have
to trade with him and he knows 1t.
There are the competing stores across
the street or next door. Or, if those
do not suit there are usually towns
withinsa very short distance that in
vite his patronage. So the country
merchant mrst find way to meet
them by giving the service, the goods
and prices that do satisfy the Gus
toners.
Most people expect and receive ac-
commodation from the home mer-
chant which they would never receive
in thousand years from the mail
order concern. Just this feature of
<lo% ho yfr.
point in favor of the home merchant
but that is not all. There are the
churches, the schools, the various
public activities that are only pos
sible because the home merchant and
business man is doing a successful
business. All of these things are
inseparable and if everybody would
trade out of town, the town would
decay and public activities would
soon cease. There is no way that g
prosperous town can be maintained
and at the same time have large
part of the business of the town sent
elsewhere.
f. Many people do not realize what
it means ossend money out of the
town. Of course a few would moi
matter but when it begins to mount
to thousands of dollars per month
then one can see the vast damage tt
the town caused by the loss of thi:
liquid capital. The banks find theil
business curtailed, the merchants
cannot carry the stocks they should
! money becomes tight" and every
body finds it scarce because it ha'
been sent away to the everlasting
benefit of some big, over-grown me
tropolis.
On another page Of the Courier
Reporter will be found the advertise
ments of business institutions tha
are particularly interested in gettin'
their side of this question before tn
public. They have selected the Cour
ier- Reporter as their medium of ex
preston. They have their capital in

fight the house to house peddler,
T. X. Kelly, told the members of
the American Retailers Associa-

sold through the established re-
tail stores" he said.
Referring to the remedy of
newspaper advertising, he said:
at has become the habit of
the American people to do prac-
tically all their shopping thru the
newspaper and the newspapers
in America today have too great
an economic force to need. any

"The crying need of the pub

FASHION SHOW
PLEASES MANY
Rodgers, Models Display
Latest Modes in Feminine
Attire-Kiddies a Hit l.

Judging from the attendance at
Mrs. Rodgers semi-annual style
shows there is one thing at least
that everybody in the community is
interested in. Her ninth attempt
packed the Liberty theatre to the
doors, as it had on each of her pre-
vious efforts. Extra seats in the
aisles and balcony did not provide
seating capacity enough and the foy-
er was filled with people standing.
People differ ON practically every
other subjects, religion, politics,
amusements and whatnot, but inter
est in the prevailing fashions is uni
versal and apparently the men are
as much interested as the women.
Mrs. Rodgers has unusual talent
for staging an affair of this kind.
Her selection of girls to wear the
various styles shows keen apprecia-
ton of harmony of line and color.
Artistry was apparent in each of the
scenes shown during the evening.
Models of afternoon and evening
attire, dresses for street and sport
wear, coats and wraps for women OF
all ages were shown. Coats and
dresses for the tots were displayed
with the same grace that marked
their elders. Inasmuch as practically
every woman in the community was
present it would be trite to attempt
to describe the various styles shown.
Suffice to say that the seasons show
ings in the various lines will not be
marked by extremes of any sort. The
outstanding features of the advance
showing was predominance of bril-
liant hues and the lavish use of fur
as trimming.
In the entertainment part of Mrs.
Rodgers program the children made
the greatest hit with the audience.
Margaret Dam of Richland and Phoe-
be Sherk evoked the most applause
with their parts in the Children's
Party. Marjorie Moores, who featured
in The Dance of the Hour number,
was another hit with the audience.
Miss Moores is a talented young
dancer who shows improvement with
her each appearance and promising
future is before this young lady.
The Mann orchestra rendered their
usual brand of snappy music for the
show, and Mrs. Paul Blanton of Pas
co played several pleasing violin Sc
lections. Solos by Mrs. Earl Jones and
Miss Agnes Richardson of Richland
found favor with The audience.
The young ladies who assisted Mrs.
Rodgers as models in the style re-
vue were: Elna Beste, Leila Johnson,
Sally Frazier, Pearl Buchanan, Vera
Bardwell, Margaret Briggs, Dorothy
Carlen, Addie Halliday, Helen Moul-
ten, Airline Mitchell, Dayle Miller,
Maybel Pearson, Dorothy Misner,
Marjorie Moores, Virginia Gascoigne,
Agnes Richardson, Ursula Matte
check, Margaret Moulton, Marjorie
McGahey, Emily Gascoigne, Mildred
Wuth, Genevieve Quigley, June Hol-
comb, Valeria Holcomb, Geneva
Broughton.
Tots: Billie Broughton, Margaret
Boshert, Margaret Dam, Mary Sherk,
Phoebe Sherk, Maxine Enger, Jimmie
Quigley, Elsie Gleason, Carol and
Dorothy Doyle and Elizabeth Barn.

State Experiment Station
Uses Cows to Measure
Pasture Values

Ihe idea that irrigated land IS
too valuable for pasture is evidently
disappearing, according to the num-
erous inquiries concerning pasture
for cows received at the Irrigation
Branch Experiment station at Proser.
The original assumption was natural
enough because most of our dairymen
came from non-irrigated districts
where from one to three acres of
grassland are required per COW, and
the value of midsummer pasture de-
pends upon the frequency of showers.
Numerous irrigated pastures have
been carrying from one to three cows
per acre from six to seven months
each year. Owners of good pastures
estimate that one acre Of grass is
worth fully as much as. an acre of
alfalfa hay, soil and fertility consid-
ered The logical conclusion is that
land upon which. we can afford to
produce hay is not too valuable for
use as pasture. Experience at the ir-
rigation station indicates that we'll
managed pastures on good land are
highly satisfactory.
There has been much talk of di-
versifed farming, including dairying
and the production Of crops for cows.
The comparatively good financial con-
dition of dairy states has been cited.
This discussion has undoubtedly done
much good; cows are effective stab
ilizers in many communities. The
| extensive use of pastures in most Of
the leading dairy regions is signifi-
cant. Grass is natural feed for cat
tie, and important in health as well
as in nutrition Effective substitutes
are expensive under our conditions
and are not always available.
! The experimental program OF the
irrigation branch station includes in
/ vestigationA Aand practical demonstra.
tion in marketing hay, silage, pasture
and grain thru livestock. The dairy
herd was established primarily fol
use in testing various kinds of pas
! ture and in studying pasture irriga.
tion problemsl The foundation hero
consisted of seven purebred heifers
Ia grade COW and purebred bull. 4
modern, practical dairy barn, 34x6s
feet, was built in 1928 A milking
herd of about 20 cows will be devel
oped Cow testing association records
are kept and only profitable cows re
tained.
! Two types Of pasture have beer
used this season, one of sweet Glow
er and the other of mixed grasses
i Preliminary data computed for us,
on Field Day, July 10th, indicated
much higher return from the swee
clover. A complete summary of re
suits will be reported at the clos,
of the pasture season.
The condition of the dairy indus
. try does not warrant speculative
J investment in cows at this time. .
. normal development of herds whicl
, a farmer and his family can care fo
5 without hiring help. and from whicl
all ,unprofitable cows are culled, i
always in order. Most irrigated dis
tricts, in Washington, with their mil
tclimate, high production of hay, sill

cilities, are admirably adapted t

Chest Specialist Holding
Clinic Here Says Climate
Is Ideal

''The dry climate of Kennewick is
as favorable to the cure of tuber-
culosis as that of Colorado or Cali
fornia,' declared DR.. J. j. Markey,
chest specialist of Seattle who was
in town on Wednesday for clinic
under the auspices of the Washing
ton tuberculosis association.
People Of Washington make SER
ious mistake when because of some
lung or heart ailment they leave
their friends in this state and go
down into the southwest to compete
for living against the thousands
of other sick from all parts of the
country" he continued. with rest,
the proper food and good medical at
tention, any patient can cure himself
in Kennewick"
DR.. Markey has just completed an
extensive period of study in Europ-
can and Asiatic chest clinics. He has
lately written an important paper in
the field of tuberculosis which shows
COiICluSlNSly GIIdC IL q c0OSA
culous person will in most cases cure
the tuberculosis. This fact is of par
ticular interest in this state where
great numbers of girls and women
and even men have goitres.
At the clinic which was held in DR..
Spau1ding's office twelve patients
were examined. Miss Monica Weber,
county nurse assisted.
