(Near Selbyville)

This is our last week in school.
We are glad and yet sorry. We hope
next year will be as pleasant as this.
Everybody is a willing worker.
School Days are your happiest
days"
Miss Moore was here and we had
school picinc for the All Club.
Everyone had a fine time.
Susie Truitt because of her splen-
did sewing, and Vollie Gray because
of his pig record, were selected by
Miss Moore to spend week at the
All summer camp at Oak Orchard.
The exams at school are all over
and all those present for their work
ular have done well.
A poem written by Anna NJ. Hud-
son of the sixth grade:
The end of school time will soon be
here
OF this joyful, wonderful, school
year
When the time comes for us to part,
We all know it will go deep in our
heart
We will seek each other in vain
But won't it be joyful when we come
back again?
Poems written by different chill
dren of the school:
With books and work and healthful
play
Let your first year be past
That you may give for every day
Some good account at last.
Written by Susie Truitt, 7th grade.
The close of school is drawing near
Which we are all very sorry to
hear
We love our school and friends quite
well
This anyone should be able to tell.
Written by Ethel Savage, 7th
grade.
The end of school is drawing near
Which we are all very sorry to hear
We all have tried to do our part
With helpful hands and willing
heart.
Written by Madeline bunting, 9Th
grade.

Here are some descriptions of
children in school who are as good |
as can be as rule. These rhymes |
were written by the children in the |
upper grades:
Louis Rayne is smart looking boy |
But takes all US other kids for a toy.
James Hudsonsbrags about his looks |
But even so he is good in his books. |
Nellie Hudson is always joking,
But at school she is very provoking.
Beulah Matthews is very tall
But she bounces around like ball.
Gray likes to talk to her
neighbor
But when the teacher looks at her
she prtends to be studying as
fast as she's able.
Nellie McCabe is slim and tall
When you touch her she is ready to
squall.
Vollie Gray is always talking to a
girl,
But especially to one without a curl.
Anna 1. Hudson doesn't like to be
gay
But when she sees Vollie, she's al
ways at play.
Warnie Murray is always in hurry
By his work you'd think he'd never
worry.
James Murray is always tickled.-
But still he looks as sour as pickle.
Clifton Murray is not tall nor not ::
very stout,
But still he is asking what every
thing about.
Viola Benson nice and kind
She never has her mind on the boys
at any time.
Anna M. Hudson always works at
her books.
The rest of the pupils talks about
her good looks. \

MAY LOOK FOR
DECISION SOON
Head of Yekima Project
is Called East to Con-
fer with Mead

DR.. Elwood Mead, director of
reclamation, yesterday summoned
R. L. Lytell to Washington, D. c.,
for conference on matters per-
tanning to the Yakima project. Mr..
Lytell left in the afternoon and
expects to be gone two or three
weeks, altho there was no inti-
nation as to what particular prob
lens the chief of the department
wished to discuss.
Mr.. Lytell is member Of sew
eral irrigation boards in the valley
functioning under the interior de-
partment and business in connec-
tion with some of these will prob
ably be taken up. 1t is reported
at Spokane and in other places,
that inasmuch as the Columbia
Basin project is of late much in
the public eye, that his trip has
some connection with this project.
Those Who are in closer touch with
irrigation matters in this valley
are confident that this is not the
cause of the trip to the capital.
AS Mr.. Lytell is engineer for
the Yakima project, it is felt GER
tain that his trip has to do with
local conditions only and that the
standing and plans on the local
projects. will be discussed and per-
haps definite action determined
upon. 1t is expected that a decision
in regard to the Kennewick high
line unit will be announced di-
rectly following the close of Mr..
LytelI's conference with the head
of the department.
Mr.. Moulton, secretary of the
local district, is out Of town today
and his views on the move are not
obtainable. o. A. Fechter, of Yaki-
ma, was in town today and in his
opinion We may look for a de-
cision on our unit as result of
this conference.

BIG FREE FEED
FOR 100 MEN
Work Bee Friday to Fix
Up Fair Grounds
dies to Serve Lunch

The Woman's club and the Bus
mess Girls have prepared fine
big feed for one hundred strong,
willing men. Anyone who is will
ing to work is invited to come and
get it, free, tomorrow noon.
The occasion is a work bee for
the Kennewick Fair grounds. Ev-
erybody is invited, to attend tomor-
row friday from nine until four
in the afternoon-which will en-
title the worker to attend the big
feed the ladies have prepared.
The fair association has recently
purchased the ten acre piece on
the river bank between the two
bridges known as sThe Grove" /"
This property will be used as a
permanent home for the fair and
as a community center for all
kinds of outdoor gatherings.
Tomorrow's activity will be to
clear the ground and do some lev
cling, preparatory to the perma-
nent improvements to be started
in the spring and pushed as fast
and as far as the finances of the
association will permit. The grang-
ers will turn out a representative
bunch with teams and leveling e.
quipment and the county's road
grading equipment has been Sc
cured for this days work. Every
grubhoe in the district will be
present, it is hoped, together with
a couple of willing hands to ma
nipulate it. Axes, hoes and shovels
will also be in demand and every
worker is requested to bring his
own tools.
j. A. Mclean will be the straw
boss in taking care of the gang
that will grub out the sagebrush.
w. C. Muldrow will have charge
of the grading operations. Frank
White will superintend the clean
ing of the grove and E. C. Durdle
will take care of clearing the river
bank. And the women's organiza-
tions will feed the gang according
to their efforts.
A committee from the CONNER
mercial club is around town today
in an effort to secure at least one
man from each business house to
help out with the work. This is a
real community enterprise and one
that everyone should participate
in and the farmers as well as the
businessmen are showing splen-
did spirit of cooperation in the
work.

BESTE TAMES
JUNGLE BEAST
Poisonous Stowaway Dis.
covered on Bananas
On Display Now

The acme of the unusual In pet
stock has been achieved this week
by Howard Beste who is holding
captive. at the Skaggs store, a
large specimen Of the tarantula
spider recently captured on bunch
of bananas. The spiders body is
about half an inch long, covered
with a kind of fuzz or hair, it has
eight legs, on top is of a grey
color, but underneath is slightly
orange. Howard almost put his
hand on the venomous brute while
unpacking a shipment of bananas.
The spider was placed in a glass
jar and put on exhibit.
Parsons and Beste have been
making some interesting observa-
tions in the tarantula's diet and
habits of living. Howard reports
that altho the big insect makes its
home on banana trees it is quite
fond of flies. Thinking that her
appetite might be causing her an
guish, a couple of house flies were
placed in the jar Saturday night.
They were accepted graciously and
forthwith devoured. Since that
time, however, it has declined to
eat. It's captors are at loss to
know whether the fresh meat
caused indigestion or whether it
is against the tarentula religion to
eat except on Saturdays.
When the spider was captured
it was carrying a large egg the
size of marble. The prospective
mother has now cut the egg loose
and it lies all by itself at the bot
tom. of the prison. Unless she de-
cides to pratice birth control, How
ard believes they will soon be able
to present each customer making a
fifteen, cent purchase with baby
tarantula. Or at least do so as long
as the spiders last.

BEAR STORY

Every now and then we hear
a "bear" story, some of which are
fit to print. We heard one today
from C. H. Peterson, who used to
run the Service Auto Co., here, and
Joe says he has the skins to prove
his statements.
Joe says that while he was up
in idaho fishing last week a bear
popped out of the brush at him
and he killed it with his first shot,
even though it was the first one
he ever, shot at. Then, right be-
hind that one, came another. The
second shot dropped that one. Then
the third one came crashing thru
the brush and the third shot stop
ped him in his tracks. Then came
the fourth one, and the fifth
and then the sixth.
just to make the story interest
ing, Joe admits that while he shot
six times all right, the last three
bears are still alive. But he stoutly
maintains that he has the skins of
the first three bears to prove his
story.

CARS CRASH ON
RIVER HIGHWAY
Truck on Wrong Side of Highway
Without Lights is Demol-
ished by Delivery Car

The light delivery car of the
Empire Electric Co., was quite
badly smashed up last night when
it collided with Ford truck driv-
en- by A. Stoops on the highway
about five miles west of town. The
Ford was demolished almost be-
yond repair. Fred Swartz. driver
of the Electric Co. car was badly
cut and bruised about the face,
and Mr.. Stoops suffered minor in
juries.
According to the evidence the
Ford was on the wrong side of the
road and was travelling without
lights. The crash occurred just at
the end of the pavement where the
road turns between high banks,
and the lights from the Swartz
car were shining off the road in
making the curve.

NEW FORD Is
REALITY NOW
First New Model Turned
Out Thursday-11, 900
Daily Production

Henry Ford's 15,0O0,000th Model
T. which ended production of the
flivver genius and went on exhi-
bition at the Dearborn plant on
May 26, last, has been provided
with new playmate. It's the new
Ford, and is utterly dissimilar in
appearance to the familiar old re-
liable.
Henry's new produce was turned
out officially at the Fordson plant
on Thursday afternoon in the pres
ence. of Mr.. Ford, Edsel and other
company officials, according to a
special report given out this week.
When it had become a finished
product with a body, it was taken
to the Dearborn offices and placed
beside the last of the T line. 1t no
more resembles the car formerly
made by Mr.. Ford than a porpoise
resembles whale. 1t is smart
looking automobile, low and rak-
ish and thoroly stylish. 1t can make
fifty miles an hour easily and sixty
if pressed.
The company has tentative or
ders for 375,O0O cars. Through the
re-arrangement of plant machinery
Mr.. Ford will be able to turn out
1000 cars daily, against maxi
mum of 5000 under the old scheme
of production. In 300 working days
the plant will be able to turn out
more than 100000 cars. At pres
ent production is limited to only
about twenty cars daily. This num-
Der will gradually be increased and
in two or three weeks should a
mount to at least 100 daily. From
fifty to sixty thousand cars will
be needed to supply dealers for
display.
