STILL HOLD THE
BERRY RECORD
Local Prices Way Above Other.
Sections - Prices Justify
Heating Expense

That Kennewick- Richland is the
premier strawberry section Of the
Northwest is evident from the
market reports. Just now the Spo-
kane and coast districts are BATH
ing to keep the price from falling
below $1.50 per crate. In Portland
the market has been as low as
three cents per pound. Contrast
these prices with the returns made
by the Big Y for the 1927 season: /:
May 10 to 21, Aka 1920. 4x5.
$5.95, 5x5 $3.50; May % to 25.
$3.50, $40; May 26 to 28. S4.58.
$4.13; May 20 to June s, SAILS to
$S.75.
The success with heating or COW
ering this spring has revived the
interest in strawberry growing.
With yield Of 200 and more crat-
es per acre, with prevailing pric-
es, it is evident that considerable
expense is justified to save the
early bloom.

Already one Oh the strongest
banks of its size in the state, the
First National of Kennewick will
be greatly strengthened by the
additional capitol which Mr.. Fech-
ter has brought. And with the f.
nancial increase comes twenty
five years experience in the bank
ing business in the Yakima valley
which stands to Mr.. Fechter's
credit.
Mr.. Fechter became president
of the Yakima institution twenty
five years ago when the bank had
a capital stock of $45,000. Today
the same bank has a capital and
surplus Of over three hundred fif-
ty thousand dollars.
The board Of directors, which re-
mains unchanged except for the
retiring of Mr.. johnson and Mr..
Fine, in issuing a statement in
this issue setting forth the policy
of the institution says that it will,
as in the past, be directed toward
the upholding of the community
and its members insofar as is con-
sistent with safely and conservaz
tivism. Believing that a good
sound bank is a conlmunity's basic
and best asset, the directors ask
for the support of the people of
the Kennewick district in carrying
out these policies to the end that
the community and the bank may
grow and prosper together.
Mr.. Fechter will not give up his
interests at Yakima but will di-
vide his time between the two
places, giving the Kennewick bank
considerable Of his time for the
next few months. Mr.. johnson has
not yet made definite plans for
the future and is undecided as to
what he will do in the future.
Mr., johnson came to Kennewick
twenty-three years ago, buying an
interest in the old Exchange bank
Of Kennewick. Later he acquired
controlling interest and changed
the name Of the bank when he put
| it into the National bank classifi-
cation The bank has, under Mr..
Johnson's supervision, acquired an
enviable record in state banking
circles. Thru the trials and vicis-
situdes Of the development of this
country the First National has
been steered with firmness and
safety that has made it one Of
the leaders in its field. When 9TH
er institutions of similar nature
were being closed and failing this
bank has remained firm.

SHOW SIGNS OF
STRIKING BACK
Politicians Look for Hard
Fight-Coolidge Still
State Favorite
By Richard Hamilton

State elective officers, most of
whom have been and are under fire
from Gov. Hartley, are. beginning
to show signs of striking back.
Within the last week, Land Com
missioner Savidge, Secretary Hin
kle, Auditor Clausen and Treasur-
er Potts have made speeches or is
sued statements in attempts to
offset the various charges made
by the governor from time to time,
The chief policy of the elective of
ficers has been that of standing on
their legal grounds, letting Mr.
Hartley carry his fight to the peo-
pie.
Friends of the elective officers
have been urging them to "go be.
fore the people" So the recent
speeches, statements, etc.. are
merely the beginning of the cam
paign. 1t is being limited, too, that
Mr.. Savidge, or another elective
officer, will soon go on the radio,
chiefly to reach Eastern Washing
ton, where, Olympia figures, the
governor is running out in front
with room to spare.

COUNTY AGENT
STARTS SOON
E. C. Durdle Engaged to
: Take Over Extension !.
Work in County

Final arrangements were COM
pleted at the last meeting, of the
county commissioners for the hir-
ing Of E. c.. Durdle of South Bend
to act as county agent. He will
commence, his work in this county
this week.
Benton county has been without
an agent for three years, since
". L. Georgeson left the position,
Miss Gertrude Gage, county club
leader, has been doing consider
able county agent work in the
meantime.
Mr.. Durdle comes to his new po-
sition highly recommended. He has
been extension agent for Pacific
county for the past three years
and has special knowledge of
the dairying industry. His office
will be in the Commercial club
rooms at Kennewick where he will
be available to the farmers of the
district.
+ There has been considerable de-
mand for a county agent in this
county, especially from the east
end, and repeated efforts have
been made to secure just the right
man for the position. In Mr.. Dur
die the commissioners think they
have secured one who will salts
factorily fill the bill, as he is rat
ed as being unusually capable.
Mr.. Durdle will move his family
to Kennewick as soon as he can
secure a suitable location.

GROOM WALKS
HOME IN B.V.Ds.
Kidnappers Elude Rescu-
ers-Home Dog Doesn't
Recognize Mob Victim

Attired in a costume that would
even make a modern flapper blush
with self consciousness, Clifford
Turner. whose marriage to Miss
Genevieve Rramsay so recently
caused no little sensation among
younger friends in Kennewick, did
solo act through the sage brush
of Horse Heaven Tuesday evening
that equalled the capers Of Flo
Ziegfeld's performers. Cliffs little
turn wasn't exactly voluntary, but
that didn't detract any from the
appreciation of his audience.
The reason for the new hus-
bands little seven and a half mile
constitutional with an abbreviated
wardrobe, which he accomplished
in a short hour and half, was
as follows: While Clifford and his
wife dined Tuesday evening at
Plowman's, a group of ruffians,
friends of the newlyweds, gath
cred in little gang on the side
walk outside to discuss what kind
Of reception the bride and groom
would most appreciate. They came
to decision at last and some of
them went to the back door of the
restaurant and some to the front
door, and waited. After time
he was borne to waiting, high
power automobile. A thrilling
chase that lasted more than an
hour followed in which an anxious
spouse and a group of girl friends
attempted to rescue the abducted
husband. Their efforts failed. The
willy kidnappers proved too clever.
AT last the abductors stopped on
a nice little plateau some miles
south of town. Clifford was lifted
gently from the car. The spokes-
man for the mob assured him that
no bodily violence was intended,
they merely feared he was not
getting enough exercise and want
ed him to walk home. The value
of fresh air was fully expounded.
''The night is fresh and warm y
said the leader of the williams. "you
will not have need of your trous-
ers, they will only be extra
weight" The groom protested that
they must not burden themselves
with thots of his comfort, that it
would be teo much trouble for
them to think of removing his
trousers. His statements were dis
regarded, however, khe trousers
being removed. They thrust him
forth into the cold world. piled
back into the car and departed.
Many jack rabbits will never re-
cover, 'tis said. Even the family
dog was badly scared when the
amateur Pavo Nurnii arrived home
and raised an awful row, doubt
less mistaking his master for a
ghost or evil spirit. But Cliff ar
rived at town safely, and to date
the undertaken reports that pat
ronage has not improved any be-
cause of the youthful activity
Tuesday night.
The following night the young
people who tormented the young
bridegroom SO terribly, made up
purse and bought a wedding
present for the young couple
which they presented along with
their presence at an informal little
party.
