GRID MENTOR
STARTS WORK
K.H.S. Coach Calls Meet
ing of Football Men for
Sunday Afternoon

William Smith, the new football
mentor of the Kennewick high
school. will be in Kennewick Sat-
urday and Sunday and hopes to
meet as many as possible of the
boys who plan to turn out for foot
ball this coming season. It's pref
ty early as yet for most Of US to
begin to talk of the grid game
seriously, but not so for the afore-
said Bill Smith. This star athlete
of w. S. C. is doing some hard
thinking right now in regards to
the team he will have charge of in
the nearing season. To be wholly
truthful he is doing something
more than mediate as his coming
visit this week end demonstrates.
He is outlining his course of sac-
tion, sizing up his material, and
deciding on the strategy to be en-
ployed, in future battles.
A meeting of all the high school
lettermen, all the high school stu
dents who plan to turn out for
football, and everyone else that is
interested in football will be held
in the high school assembly at
2:30 Sunday afternoon. At this
meeting the new instructor in the
art of pigskin toating will outline
briefly his plans for the coming
year. All the fellows who will at
tend school this fall are urged to
be on hand. The session will be
short and snappy and of great
value to those who have the inter-
est of Kennewick at heart.

ATTENDANCE GOOD
AT TENT MEETING
Evangelists Report Increasing In
terest and Attendance
Singers Added

Many residents of Kennewick
and the surrounding country have
been attending the lectures now
in progress in the canvas pavil-
lion next to Hotel Kennewick.
Those attending have expressed
themselves as being pleased with
the educational quality Of the lee
lures, and the result Of this is be-
ing seen in ansincreased attend
ance. Evangelist J. X. Luther sees
the Bible as a highly up-to-date
book full of practical instruction
for people of today and says that
some parts were written especial
ly for our time. In fact he states
that our own nation is specifically
mentioned and will spend one eve
ming on that subject this week as
advertised elsewhere in this issue.
The past week has been spent
upon the prophetic portions of the
Bible and some startling conclu-
sions have been reached. The pro-
phecies will continue to be the
topic throughout this week and es-
pecially those little understood but
intensely picturesque symbols in
the book of Revelation. Mr., Luther
says this book is not sealed as so
many people think but true to its
name, it is revelation.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. e. st. John
came last week as an addition to
the staff at the tent and will as
sist Mr.. and Mrs. Dewey Payne
in the music which is made a spe-
cial feature of every meeting.

BATHING BEAUTIES
BECOME AMBITIOUS
River Swimming Hole Going to
Bad, So They're Fixing
Things Up

The old swimmin' hole down by.
the river was all going to. the
dogs. The stairway down the ra-
ther steep bank was in a sickly
state, one needed parachute to
get down it; the float was on it's
last legs, there was grave fore
bodings as to whether it was go
ing to continue to float at all or
not, the spring board had developed
rhumatics and was no longer wor-
thy of the name. Indeed things had
come to the point where to swim
or not to swim was the pressing
question of the day. Certain it
was that something had to be done
so DR.. B. L. Cole made motion
that the place be improved. The
motion was seconded by number,
of people who happened to be a.
round and the gang quit expert
menting with fancy dives and wa
ter treading and got in some
sturdy strokes of labor then and
there.
OAAS Va bAAC lOC1l luluOCI COIIl-
panies later heard about the trou-
bic that was confronting the low
ers of the bright blue waves and
of the struggle that was being
made to remedy the situation and
donated a spring board. This
CLEARED up the workers and they
officially set next Sunday morn
ing as day to get together again
and continue the good work on be-
half of bathing beauties and 9TH
erwise. Everyone of them is going
to bring a couple of planks or as
many as they can dig up, ham,
mers and nails will be much in
evidence, empty barrels that are
watertight are being solicited, and
ere night settles once again over
our lovely valley, the stairway will
be open to two-way traffic once
more, the float will float high,
dry and handsome, the spring
board will spring with vigor, and
the swimmers of the town will
swim anew in erratic ecstacy.

E. C. SMITH rs
C. C. LEADER
Activities of Club Not to
be Allowed to Lag
New Work Soon


E.. G. Smith was elected presi-
dent of the Kennewick Commercial
club, at a special meeting of the
board Of governors last night. d.
G. Rodgers, whose removal sew
eral weeks ago, left vacancy
which was filed recently by the
election of H. C. Schmidt. Mr..
Schmidt was also vice-president
of the Kiwanis club and he felt
that he could not satisfactorily
handle the additional work. His
resignation last evening was ac-
cepted and Mr.. Smiths election
followed.
The club, presided over by the
new president, today heard reports
from committees which were ap-
pointed to ask the railroads to re-
pair the street crossings, and the
matter of the installation of road
signs on the new highway. The
contact committee also reported
on the proposed caravan to Rich
land and Benton City. AS soon as
the road is in little better shape
and further details relatives to the
dairy financing proposition can be
secured, it is planned to close up
the town and everybody go to
Benton City and get acquainted. !
Mr.. Smith stated that while at
this particular season there was
very little activity that the club
could engage in, he felt it import
ant that the club continue to be
active that we might be prepared
for large amount of work in the
very near future, pending some
very promising developments.

POTATO CROP
SATISFACTORY
Seasons Record About as
Predicted with Good
Prices-Thru Today

This weeks shipments will wind
up the early spud crop from the
Kennewick district, with a total
number of cars well above the es-
Inmates made early in the season,
While some of the growers are re-
porting their yield much lighter
than they had anticipated, other
patches are more than making up
the deficiency and on the whole
the crop will be above normal. The
railroads report shipping cars
to date, with an estimate of about
half that number of the later va
rieties yet to come.
The market page of the Seattle
P.I. has the following article in
regard to the Kennewick potatoes:
The high quality of Kennewick po-
tatoes throughout the season has
given that product heavily in
creased demand and additional
popularity on the Seattle local and
Alaska shipping market. Eastern
Washington shippers have been
grading their potatoes for the first
time and the results have been
gratifying, both as to returns to
the producers and increased de-
mand.
The prices have held up we'll for
the entire crop season and the
crop as whole has been fully
up to expectations.

TWELVE GIRLS
FAIR GUESTS
princesses to be Given
Royal Entertainment
Fair Bigger

For once in the history of the
Ia fairs the queen candidates
jrom the outside districts will be
9 an equal footing with the cam
Rdates from the city. The COM
nittee which has the arrangements
for the queen contest in hand a.
>bout completed their plans for
Gstributing the community, ap-
portioning the vote values for the
vrious districts and for holding
IL nominations.
The district will be devided into
xelve parts, with princess from
ueh section. Each princess will
pmpete with all the others for
u honor of being queen of the
hir There will be three districts
I the city limits, two on the
Highlands, two in Richland and
one each from Hover, Finley, Val
Iey, River Road and Horse Heaven.
Inasmuch as the districts cam
not be equally divided as to pop
ulation, the committee will give
different vote values to the tick
ss, depending upon the popula-
ion in the particular district. This.
via give the candidates from the
smaller districts an even better
show than those from town, and
y may look to see the highest
hmor go to girl from outside
u Immediate city limits.
he committee is also trying to
~ that the young lady who re-
uives the most votes will receive
ssuething besides the adulations
& the crowds and the honor of the
xhievement. just what form this
ut will take has not yet been dis
covered. A royal pageant, in which
neh Of the princesses will have
1 part is planned for the corona
don ceremonies.
For preliminaries to the fair and
im the purpose of raising some of
he expense money there will be
given series of dances and
ihow at the theatre. A feature film
vin be selected and it is likely
bat there will be an hour or so
I home talent entertainment, pos
nlg q minstrel sketch home tai
at vaudeville and musical num-
us.
Good progress is also being re-
reted from several of the COM
nittees in securing the exhibits.
Ihere will be two district exhibits,
& least, from the present indica-
tons and more are hoped for. The
Individual farm exhibits will also
receive special consideration, as
vel as the Individual plate dis
pays. Percy Combelic's display of
socfer feathers (they are so soft)
wi be one of the interesting ex-.
rbtts. The fair committee thinks
- years fair will be fine one
nom every standpoint, farm pro-
eets Of excellent quality to be
played and the fun features will
= better than ever.
