CEMENT PIPE
! IS POPULAR
Fifty-Acre Farm u S e
1900 Feet Demand
is Good All Over
Copyright, v. N. U,

Concrete pipe, the demand shows
is becoming more and more widely
recognized in this district as the
proper medium for conveying irri-
cation water. E. F. Reese in his
plant this spring has manufac-
tured and sold some $4,000 linear
feet, all but two carloads of which
were disposed of locally.
The largest ssingle order which
Mr.. Reese has filled recently was
one of 4500 feet, eight inches in
diameter, estimated to be large
enough to carry water for fifty
acres. This order was from C. Fl.
Fry, millionairs meat packer of
Seattle, and was installed on his
thirty acre tract northwest of the
S. P. & S. depot. The land Of Mr..
Fry is being put into cultivation
this year for the first time and
has been leased by Harley Peter.
Mr.. Reese who has been manu-
featuring concrete pipe in Kenne-
wick for the last two and one-half
months, and who has lived here
for many years, says that more
extensive improvement in irriga-
ton systems has been made this
spring than for many years. An
order for one carload of pipe, g.
900 feet, was received from the
rather remote city of Hood River,
Oregon, and another similar order
from Prosser. Both sales were
made fob. Kennewick.

RELIEF FUND
is STILL SHORT
Local Quota not Yet At
tanned - Fresh Disas-
ter Reaches Victims

The drive for Red Cross funds
is progressing in splendid shape
according~to Postmaster Shanafelt
who has charge of the work for
Kennewick. Our first quota has
been reached and we are we'll on
the road toward the filling the
second quota. However there is
urgent need for all the funds that
can be raised, and the papers are
carrying daily news of fresh breaks
and more lands inundated and adj
ditional thousands rendered home
less.
With the total of refugees far
beyond the original estimate, with
the possibility of fifty to a hun
dred thousand more people being
driven from their homes and the
destructive tornadoes killing and
injuring others in the very flooded
area itself, experienced relief
workers say that ten million dol
lars will be insufficient to care for
the emergency needs Of the suf-
ferers.
Thousands of people still cling
to the upper floors of their homes
and other thousands have collected
on the levees and the higher
ground. The calamity is an appall-
ing one. These hundreds of thous-
ands of people must not alone re-
ceive food, clothing, shelter and
medical attention, but they must
be restarted in life again. Homes,
furniture, implements, seed, feed
for animals must be found after
the crisis has passed.
The National Red Cross is the
only organization which can at
tempt to cope with the situation
and it asks that you enlarge your
support that it shall not fail.

most beautiful girls from each
town, all kinds of races and ath-
letic contests, band contests. red
fire and everything.
Further details viii be announc-
ed from time to time. Inasmuch as
Pasco nor Prosser have so far sig
nified their intention of staging a
celebration, the upriver people ex-
pect to entertain record break
ing crowd.

CLUB CONVENTION

A delegation of four members
from the Kennewick Business Girls
club attended the state convention
at Longview Thursday and Friday
of last week and were successful
in bringing home a fair sized slice
Of the bacon for their home club.
During the election Of the state
officers, Miss Alma Pecar, presi-
dent of the local club was nomi-
mated for the office of second vice.
president by one of the present
officers. Audrey Herington was
also nominated for state treasurer.
Both girls won by a good majority
in the first ballot but in the mean
time someone discovered that there
were two nominees from one town
SO one club switched their vote
and as a result Miss Pecar lost
by small majority. Mrs. Herring
ton won by a large vote.
Shortley after the general cleo
tion Mrs. LeRoux the state presi-
dent announced that there would
be an election of five delegates TO
represent the state of Washington
at the national convention in July
at Oakland. Each district had the
privilege of electing one. Kenne-
wick. Yakima and Walla Walla
make up one district. Things did
not look very bright for Kenne-
wick because Yakima and Walla
Walla each had six votes to her
five. Each club selected a member,
Gertrude Gage being Kennewicl's
nominee, and the ballot was cast.
To the surprise of both Kenne-
wick and Yakima, Miss Gage re-
ceived eleven Of the seventeen
votes. Walla Walla had very gem
erously given Kennewick their
votes. Walla Walla later asked for
the 1928 state convention and got
it.
Alma Pecar was asked to talDe
charge Of the selling of club en-
blems during the convention, or
ders for club stickers, etc. The club
was entertained royalty by the
club members and townspeople Of
Longview. The Kennewick girls
particularly enjoyed the Saturday
trip to Seaside, where they feasted
their eyes on the ocean and the
wonderful green foliage.
Delegates representing Kenne-
wick were Alma Pecar, Marie
Spiegelberg, Mrs. Harry Linn and
Gertrude Gage. Kennewick club
girls met Monday evening at the
Wiilsey house TO hear the report
of the delegation which was given
in most realistic style. Twenty
three members were present.

MRS. RODGERS
CLOSES SHOP.
Stock and Fixtures are
Assigned to Creditors
Quit Today

Petition was filed today for vol
untary assignment of Rodgers
store. The petition lists assets of
more than double of liabilities,
according to the invoice prices.
The Rodgers store has been op-
Grated as a ladies' ready-to-wear
establishment and beauty parlor
in Kennewick for seven years, op-
ening as beauty parlor only in
the old telephone building on Ben
ton street. After few months a
stock of ladies furnishings was
added and the present store build
ing occupied. The stock carried
has at times reached the S25, 900
value, according to Mrs. Rodgers.
Mrs. Rodgers recent illness and
and the necessity for an extended
rest period, coupled with other
business conditions have made the
present action necessary, as the
store could no longer be operated
at a profit, and the assignment
was made for the benefit of the
creditors.
I The petition asks for the ap-
pointment of R. E. Reed as as
signee for the creditors and the
assets will be sold and the settle
ment made as speedily as possible.
Pending arrangements the store
will be closed.

NEW FORD rs
SECRET YET
Announce a Change but
give No Details-Still
Make Model T

The Ford Motor company today
announced early production of a
new Ford car, according to word
received in a telegram by E. c.
Smith, local dealer. The details of
the new model have been withheld
until later date, when complete
description will be given.
Assembly of the present T model
will be discontinued, but production
of parts will be continued for some
time. The statement as. received
this morning by Mr.. Smith said:
"With the new Ford we propose
to continue in the light car field
which we created on the same
basis of quality production we
have always worked, giving high
quality, low price and constant
service"
The new car, the announcement
continued, will cost more to man.
ufacture, but it will be more eco
nomical to operate.
Only a comparatively few men
will be thrown out of work at a
time, while the different depart
ments of the company are being
tooled for the new product, the
announcement added. "At one time
it looked as if 10000 men might be
laid off temporarily, but we have
now scaled that down to less than
$4,000 at time," the statement
said.
"The famous model T Ford,
which still leads the automobile
industry, after 20 years of manu-
facture, will continue to be a SUBJ
tantial factor in Ford production,
in view. of the fact that about TO-
100000 cars of this model are still
in use and will require replacement
parts and service" A statement
signed by Henry Ford and given
out tonight said.
"We began work on this new mo-
del several years ago. In fact the
idea of new car has been in mind
much longer than that. But the
sale of the model T continued at
such pace that there never SEEM
ed to be an opportunity to get the
new car started. Even now the bus
iness is so brisk that We are up
against the proposition of keeping
the factory going on one model
while we tool up for another. 1
am glad of this because it viii not
necessitate a total shutdown.
"At present can only say this
about the new model-it has speed,
style, flexibility and control in
traffic"
