LOCAL MAN
GETS STORY
Trade Magazine has Ar
ticle About Growth of
Hulet's Grocery

w. S. Hulet got fine write-up
in the last issue Of the Northwest
ern Grocer, a trade magazine pub
lished in Seattle. The story oc-
cupies about a page and half in
the magazine and contains a good
picture of the store on the corner,
and deals with the remarkable
growth as shown from Mr.. Hulet's
records.
The story tells of building a
business from nothing to $4,000 a
month in two years, the first para
graph reading as follows: "on July
%, 1926, Mr.. Walter S. Hulet was
not in position to go into the
grocery business, or any other
business, in a large way. As a mat
ter of fact, $25 constituted his a.
vailable capital and he stood with
out negotiable collateral. But he
was a man of sterling character
and he knew the grocery business.
Indeed, he thought he knew more
about the grocery business than
lots of men who were successful
grocers. More than that there were
others who knew that Hulet knew
the grocery business. That was
thatl"
Explaining in detail about the
town and the surrounding territory
the story goes on to tell of how
Mr.. Hulet turns his stock 26 times
a year, jumping his gross business
from $4ss to $6375 month IN less
than two years. The story also
comments upon Mr.. Hulet's con-
sistant advertising and his pecu-
liar style of attracting attention.
Mr.. Hulet has been asked to ad-
dress the retail grocers convention
next month, telling more in detail
of the way he has built up his bus
mess.

MANY PEOPLE
SEE Indy
Famous 1--WE" Gives Pasco
Real Treat-Enroute
to Seattle

Kennewick people twisted their
necks and strained their eyes for
several minutes Tuesday morning
to get a. glimpse of the worlds
greatest living hero, Chas. Lind
bergh, who, in his famous plane,
"The Spirit of st. Louis" circled
over Pasco several times at ap-
proximately II o'clock. Much dis
appointment was felt by the peo-
pie on this side Of the river as
the solitary birdman did not come
near enough to afford distinct
view.
Lindbergh, flying his own plane
was enroute from Spokane to Seat
tie, via Walla Walla, Pasco, and
Yakima. This little non stop jour
ney he accomplished in about five
hours, making quite a number of
detours and pausing over each of
the above mentioned cities for sew
eral minutes. Lindbergh gave a
special show for the individuals in
the u. S. Veterans hospital at Wal
la Walla, and to the huge crowds
attending the Yakima state fair.
At the latter place he circled quite
low over the race tracks and grand
stand, giving everyone present as
close view of himself and his
ship as it was possible to do while
in the air. He also flew over the
business section of the town and
dropped a streamer on which was
a picture Of his machine and greet
ings to the city.
Despite the suggestions of num-
erous friends and well-wishers that
it would be safer for him not to
attempt to cross the Cascade Mts.
Tuesday, owing to thick fog and
rainy weather, Lindbergh elected
to proceed directly from Yakima
to Sand Point field, Seattle, ar
irving there without mishap of any
sort, making the trip in less than
one and one-half hours.
In Seattle he was welcomed by
enormous crowds both at the land
ing field and at the u. of w. sta
dunn where he made brief speech
thanking the people for their dem
onstrations Of welcome. In the eve
ming he was the guest of honor at
a banquet held in the Olympic
Hotel.
A large number of persons were
assembled at the Pasco airport to
see Lindy pass over. These receiv-
ed the treat of their lives as the
distinguished colonel circled time
and again just above their heads,
giving them demonstrations of the
super flying skill possessed by the
conquerer of the Atlantic. Ere he
headed west once more on his
course to Yakima he dropped a
brief message: Greetings" signed
Lindbergh.

THE KIwANIS CLUB EN-
TERTAINS TEACHERS

The Kiwanis club and their la
dies had a dinner Tuesday at the
Hotel Kennewick with the teachers
of the public schools as guests Of
honor. A short program followed
the dinner. H. C. Schmidt presided
and welcomed the teachers. Supt.
w. c. Hodge responded and intro
duced each teacher to the company.
M. M. Moulton gave talk on the
Constitution. saying that this was
"Constitution" week. The audience
then took part in an old-fashioned
country school having visiting day.
Phil G. Warnock was the stern
pedagogue, the Kjwanians and
their wives. the pupils and the
teachers the visitors. Needless TO
say all had the time of their lives.

BENTON COUNTY EXHIBIT
SECOND AT STATE FAIR

Benton county lacked one point
of tying Chelan county for first
prize at the state fair this year.
Chelan scored 88 points, Benton
81. The display from this county
was in charge of E. E. Hill, dis
trict horticultural inspector.
For several years the exhibit
of Benton county has won first
prize at the state fair. The excel
lent showing made this year speaks
well of the painstaking work of
Mr.. Hill and his helpers and of the
excellent products of the county as
a whole. Those in charge of the
county exhibit wish to thank all
the people in this end of the coun-
ty who cooperated in making the
display.

KIT CLIFFORD GETS
A STATE POSITION
Says He Will be States Most In
expensive Employee - Has
Bronze Badge 'neverything

Considerable fun was poked at
Kit Clifford last Fourth of July for
presuming to act as traffic officer
on some of the highways about
town. People thot he was just hav-
ing a lot of fun. 1t has just been
discovered that Kit really has au-
thority! He has the badge and
papers and everythingI So look out
when Kit tells you to "pull over
to the curb"
Highway Patrolman's badge No.
199 is tucked up against kits
ribs on the inside of his coat lapel
and he flourishes his authority
from the state in the form of a
card bearing signatures of nearly
all the state officials.
Mr.. Clifford says that his ap-
pointment came wholly unsolicited
and must have been made as a
recognition of his sterling charac-
ter and his high standing in the
community. His appointment was
another evidence of Benton coun-
tvs standing at the executive man
sion. Mr.. Clifford says the appoint
ment was undoubtedly good one
as he will prove to be the states
most inexpensive employee, mas
much as his salary amounts to
just nothing.

WATER TO BE
TURNED OUT
Economy is Urged to Pre-
vent Flooding Final
Turn Off Four Days

Water will be turned out of the
canals of Columbia Irrigation Dis
trict Friday, the 10th and will re-
main out for about four days.
The unusual rains of the past
week have cut down consumption
until less than half of full head
is now being carried. The High
lands system is now shut down
for the season. The ground over
the valley is so wet that it is thot
that no water user will be harmed
by q turnout at this time. Seep-
age or ground water levels are un-
usually high for this time of year
and it is extremely desirable to
hold this water down as much as
possible. A turnout now will clean
up the weeds in the bitches, re-
duce the water levels on the banks
and do much to hold down seepage
levels. 1t will make it unnecessary
to do any more dragging and weed
work in the canals this year and
save this expense.
The water will be put back in
the canals about the goth, in such
amount as is necessary, and will
run as usual as long into the month
of October as it is really needed.
This depends upon the weather.
it is never possible to tell very
long in advance when the final
turnout will be made.
The board of the district wishes
to call strongly to the attention of
the waterusers the serious conse-
quences of careless and wasteful
use of water during the last few
weeks of the season. Only those
who have new seeding need much
water then. 1t is foolish business
for the rancher to hold out a big
head of water and run it into the
ground in some corner of the
ranch. 1t may not hurt his land
directly, but it goes down and
raises the water-levels in the next
valley and hurts his neighbor and
whoever hurts his neighbor in an
irrigation district hurts himself
directly. For if your neighbor can
not pay his assessments you must
help pay his share.
There will be plenty of water
for that last irrigation in October,
all you want and as long as you
need it. But for your own sakes
as well as everybody else, don't
call for it until you need it, then
use it promptly and efficiently
and have fit cut off when you get
through, so that the management
may shut down the, canals and
save unnecessary expense.

GETS FIRST PRIZE
AT YAKIMA STATE FAIR

Elliott's Dairy won first prize
in the milk section at the Yakima
State Fair this week, the score
was 97.2 percent. The Valley Dairy
tho not in the prize winning class,
also made high record, scoring
GIL percent. This is remarkably
high test for both local firms ac-
cording to r. L. Nelson, superin-
tendent of the dairy exhibits, and
definitely proves the quality of
milk they produce.

CoLilldtCu tOtdl dNdh-
able for biennium, ex-
elusive 1927 levy ..-... $10,5 ,592
The 1927 legislature appropriat-
ed $11, ,2S3 1866 for the general fund
for the biennium, which is the
limit to be expended. Therefore,
with $1O,521, ,592 on hand and in
sight, the board of equalization, or
the tax commission, needs to raise
only $762274 by direct taxation to
operate the general business until
the end of the biennium. In fact,
instead of a three-mill levy, 3-4
mill levy, in the absence of an
emergency, would yield enough
funds to take care of the general
fund.
Note:-This might be termed a
scoop. 1t shows that recent reports
of 3-mill general fund levy are
misleading, and that the 3-mill
levy can, and probably will be, cut
in half or to one mill. The levy
will soon be announced.

FINLEY WINS
FIRST PRIZE
Valley Town Wins Com.
munity Exhibit: Slaug-
haupt's Display Best

The Finley community exhibit
cropped the high honors at the
Kennewick Fair this year, altho
the Valley display furnished plen-
ty of competition and caused the
judges to do considerable thinking
and comparing before they could
say who should get the blue rib
bon. Both displays were certainly
a credit to the communities that
made them, and showed the true
excellence of our farming districts.
The judges, H. P. Singleton and
Harry Jensen of the state exper-
iment farm, gave, as the reasons
for the award, that Finley had a
wider variety of products, and a
somewhat better quality of pro-
ducts, while at the same time their
window was as artistic and at
tractive as their competitors. The
display of the Valley was certain
ly worthy second, having a wide
variety of high quality products
with a. really beautiful arrange
ment.
j. B. Slaugenhaupt won first
prize again this year with his in
dividual farm display. His window
was an easy first, being by far the
most decorative of any individual
window, and containing a large
variety of high class products of
his garden tracts farm. G. A. Car
penter and j. F. Perry were sec
ond and third respectively. Mr..
Carpenters display of 90 varieties
was especially good.
The Horticulture display was
beyond doubt the most magnifi-
cent window in town. Dozens of
varieties of asters, zennias, dahl
ais, cannas, and potted plants of
various kinds, as well as cut flow
ers, contributed in making it a
riot of color and beauty. One of
the judges opined that it was no.
thing short of misfortune that
the display could not be transfer
red en- toto to the state fair at
Yakima.
The fair, as a whole this year
was much superior to the one held
last year, and fully demonstrated
the value of a little work and op-
timism. Attendance at the Queen
coronation and rodeo was easily
the best in the history of the town.
Many Pasco people attended Fri
day night and Saturday afternoon.
and would have come Saturday
evening had it not been for the
rain. The inclement weather Sat-
urday afternoon and evening fore
ed the committee to abandon the
plans for the mardi gras carnival.
AS a substitute the dance and fair
concessions were transferred to
the Howe hall.
