TOWN TO HELP
FLOOD SUFFERERS
Kennewick will Raise $17O as Its
Share in Ten Million Dol
lar Relief Fund

Kennewick residents have been
asked to raise $170 as their share
of ten million dollar fund for
the relief of the Mississippi val
ley flood sufferers. The Yakima
Valley Chapter of Red Cross has
charge of the drive and oPstmas-
ter G. HI. Shanafelt has been ap-
pointed local representative for
the work.
Mr. Shanafelt has appealed to
the various organizations of the
town and has SO far received a
gratifying response. 1t has been
suggested that each head of a
family contribute one dollar to
the fund.
The Liberty theatre is putting
on a benefit show next Tuesday,
twenty per cent of the proceeds to
go to the relief fund. The show is
an exceptionally good one, accord
ing to Mr.. Mattecheck. George
Sidney will be featured in "The
Auctioneer," based on the David
Wiarfield stage success.
Over half of the quota has al
ready been raised and little diff
ficulty is expected in securing the
remainder.

Exercises to be Held at
M. E. Church Next
Thursday Evening
SENATOR C. G. DILL
TO BE SPEAKER
Class is Smallest in Years
Five have 4-Year
Average Above 90

The class Of '27, consisting Of
twenty-eight members will say a
formal goodbye to the Kenne-
wick high school next Thursday
evening, May IL. Commencement
exercises are to be held at eight
o'clock in the Methodist church at
that time, United States Senator
Dill having been secured to give
the principal speech for the occa-
sion. The Rev. Morton will preach
the baccalaureate sermon the fol-
lowing Sunday evening, May 15.
Bonnie Brown, valedictorian,
Lawrence Scott and Elsie Bro
gunier, salutatorians, will be other
speakers on the commencement
program, all of which has not been
arranged as yet.
The class is one Of the smallest
to finish the school term in years,
according to Mr.. Hodge, and the
size is due to the fact that it was
one Of the first classes to enter
high school at the beginning Of
the midyear. The class as freshmen
consisted Of twenty-eight MEM
bers, the same number as is now
graduating, and has had but four
changes in personnel in the four
school years. This years freshmen
class numbered IL.
Bonnie Brown, the highest honor
student, received an average mark
for the four-year term of 81. The
two salutatorians, an unusual
thing for any graduating class,
is due to the fact that both re-
ceived the same average to frac-
ton, both scoring 92.6 for the four
years. Ivel Terril and Hazel Lodge
are the two other pupils to receive
four year averages Of 90 or above.
The students who will be pre-
sented with diplomas are: Louise
Anderson, Bonnie Brown. Elsa
Brogunier, Louise Doan, Hazel
Lodge, Josephine Love, Helen Lum,
Helen Mace, Esther Moulton, Ella
Neuman, Divona O'Keefe, Enid
Rider, Clara Smith, Lawrence
Scott, Ivel Terril, Evelyn Calla-
way, Levy Carpenter, Harold
Christensen, Burtram Cox, Cecil
ludlow, Herbert Misner, Ebert
Newkirk, Buster Paden, Rudolph
Richter, Laurene Soth, Roy War
mock, Russell WiIlmert, and Arthur
McReynolds.
The class feels very fortunate
to have secured Mr.. Dill for this
event, as he is man very much
sought after this time of year.

PRIZE FOR BIG FISH
Biggest Bass Registered this Year
will Win Rod for Lucky Angler

Biggest Bass Registered this Year
will Win Rod for Lucky Angler
Kennewick sportsmen are terri
bly, bashful or else they are not
having any luck. That is the opin-
ion of them, at least, which Bill
Strickler, proprietor of the Ken
newick Hardware Co., holds. The
reason for this unflattering belief
is that the store. mentioned is Civ
ing away valuable casting rod
as first prize to the fisherman
bringing in the largest bass, and
a second worth while prize to the
fellow who takes the next largest.
To date the largest fish brot in
weighed only-but we don't want
to insult the bass family as they
are highly respected fish and we
know the fellow who caught it
would be over and murder US with
out delar. Suffice it to say that
most any average sized bass would
have a chance at first money at
present, and altho someone will
probably be fortunate and take
an unusually large one before the
season is over. The second prize is
worth trying for, too.
There are no strings to the con-
test whatever. The only thing one
needs to do is to bring the fish
down to the Kennewick Hardware
and weigh it. The one weighing the
most is the winner.

SEMON STORE
TO CLOSE OUT
After 8 Years Mems Fur.
nishing Establishment
To Quit

Leon f. Semon, who for the past
eight years has conducted one of
Kennewick's most exclusive mems
clothing shops has announced this
week his intentions of closing out
his store here. He plans to move
to Yakima where a similar estab.
lishment will be opened, a very
desirable location in the midst OF
the shopping district having beer
secured.
Commenting on his decision, Mr.
Semon said that he found it very
difficult to make UP his mind tc
leave Kennewick. That business
conditions here for the past sever.
al years have steadily improved
and show promise of becoming
better in the future. "Only the
most unusual opportunity could
have tempted me to sell out" he
stated. 81 do not like to feel that
all touch and interest in this com.
munity will be lost. NY decision &c
move to Yakima is as great .
surprise to myself as to anyone
no such action having been pre-.
viously contemplated"
Mr.. Semon came from Spokane
to Kennewicl in the spring OF
1919, he and Charles Kasper open.
ing their store in its present 10.
cation on Kennewick Ave. A few
years ago he became sole propri
etor of the firm, assuming the in
terest of Mr.. Kasper who desired
to move to the coast. Since com
ing here Mr.. Semon has been al
active citizen in civic affairs. Civ
ing much labor and support to ev
cry worthwhile movement. He i
at present member of the XII
wants club, Commercial club AM
the Masonic lodge, having serves
a term as master. His sudden de
cision to leave comes as distinc
shcok to wide circle of friends
and the city as a whole, all O.
whom will feel his loss very much
"Semon's" store has been popula,
among patrons of Kennewick',
trading area, and has been char
acterized by the high class of mer
chandise carried.

100000 IN NEW
PAVED ROADS
Paving Work Now Start.
ing Gives City Perm
anent Highway

Although confusion may have
run rampant in the state highway
board during the first of this week
the road work in Kennewick has
been progressing smoothly enough
Grading of the river road from the
end of the pavement in the Garden
Tracts to the river bridge, tho ii
has not been going as fast as was
at first intended, will be finished
in the course of four or five more
days. The Midstate Contracting
Co., which has the contract for
the cement work, has already
shipped in several carloads of
equipment and will be ready to
start laying the concrete as soon
as the grading is completed.
This firm. formerly the Harding
Ritchings Co., is the same one that
laid the mile of pavement in Ken
newick last fall.
When the road work now under
way is completed, Kennewick will
have in excess of 100000 worth
of new concrete street within its
city limits. Should the plans for
oiling the remainder of State Road
No. 3 from Grandview to Richland
be carried out the entire highway
fp6m Yakima to Kennewick, 100
miles, will be in exceptionally fine
condition.

SlOO WINNER
Wins S e c O n d Place in
Statewide Oratorical
Contest

One A. r. Gardner has now lost
his claim to the title which he so
long has carried, of ssThe Boy Ora
tor of the Columbia" Young Art
Carpenter now lays claim to the
resounding name, and has a hum
dred big round dollars to back up
his claim. Arthur won second place
in the national oratorical contest,
in the state finals which were held
in Seattle last Friday night. He
tied for points, too, with the young
man from Tacoma, who took first
honors. The Tacoma youth will go
to Kansas City as a guest of the
Seattle Times to compete in the
district finals. He won cash prize
of $500, also.
Robert Evans won the cham
pionship with five points to his
credit by virtue of receiving two
first places and one third. This
gave him total of five points.
Arthur Carpenter also won five
points, however, with only one
first and two seconds. And the Ia
coma orator was therefore declared
winner.
The orations were upon the Con-
stitution, and all those who enter
ed the competition, irrespective of
whether or not he or she won a
prize, proftted immeasurably
from study of the nations basic
law.
The local orator is greatly pleas
ed with his showing made against
the pick of the state, and gives a
large measure of credit to the
coaching he has received from his
teachers and from Lee M. Lamp
son.
The contestants were royalDy
entertained on their visit to Sc
attic, with luncheons, theatre par
ties and SO forth.

HEN AND COW
BRING IN CASH
Dairy and Poultry Re-
ceipts Top all Crops
Have egg Week"

With the National Poultry Coun-
ell showering the country with pos
ters, letters and literature of all
sorts proclaining May 1st to 7th
National Egg Week., it seems
appropriate to glance for a mo-
ment at what Kennewick contrib
utes to the world in the line of
poultry and dairy products. Fig
ures gathered from the two prin-
cipal local dealers, the DeSota
Creamery Co. and Columbia Valley
Produce C. show that a large sum
of money is brought into this COM
munity in the course of the year
by eggs and cream. In fact. al
though we hail asparagus with
glowing hearts and words, these
figures show that the humble cows
and hens have, during the past,
and do at present, bring in con-
siderably more money.
About 100000 lbs. Of butter fat
are produced in this district per
annum, the average price ranging
around SOC pound. Hence about
100000 cash is being received
here from butter alone. Egg pro-
duction is nearly as important as
dairying. Approximately 10000
cases of eggs go dozen per case)
were shipped from or placed in
storage here last year. The price
for them has averaged So per
case which indicates an annual
return to the poultry men of $780,
900. Compare this with the returns
from asparagus last year of less
than $150,00O, the returns from
Strawberries whatever it happens
to be, or the return from the ap-
pie industry. It makes the lowly
hen and cow look quite aristo-
cratic beyond doubt.
The DeSota Creamery Co., which
by the way, according to the local
manager Fred Berry, is planning
to build new $25, 900 plant here
this fall, reports that their busi-
ness here during the last four
years has doubled. "More farm
ers" Mr.. Berry said, "are constant
ly turning to egg and cream pro-
duction as they are staples always
in demand and usually command
ing a good price"
The manufacture of ice cream
is AN industry which apparently
is coming more and more into the
foreground in Kennewick. The De-
Sofa firm has about $4,000 worth
of special equipment for such
work according to their estimates,
and produce several thousand gal
Ions during the summer months.
Robert Mackie Of the Columbia
Valley Produce Co. also reports
an increasing demand for this de-
licious food, which is manufacture
ed by the Columbia Valley firm in
their factory at Pasco.

Sh's a Good Old Boat
For the Shape She's In

Yearly model of 1915, no 1914,
no, no, 1913-or when did Henry
start making cars anyway? This
may not be the first, suppose the
inventors natural pride would
cause him to keep that one in a
sort of museum somewhere, but
the car which w. F. Sonderman,
manager of the Highland Water
Users Assn. sports around in these
days could not possibly be later
than the second or third. Brass
radiator, straight tenders, frayed
upholstering, (if we may have
license to call it such) top that
looks like threadbare crazy quilt
cover, body similar to the figure
of a skinny, overworked horse, and
appointments about as convenient
as those Of a batteringram. This
description, naturally, doesn't half
do the cars appearance justice
but it is as good as our feeble
command of English permits.
Says the owner: 81 was going
to sell it to the junk man once
but he offered me such a disgrace
fully low price that / changed my
mind. Anyhow don't know as
care to sell it. The car and me
have kind got used to each other
In fact do not believe that anyone
else could drive it. Put new pain
of points on those coils the other
days." he said, grasping the start
ing handle, 'slisten how smooth the
engine runs! Can climb many s

limousines can't take, you bet"
