cow CONTEST

BY request of County Agent E.
c. Durdle the following article on
the butterfat contest for the Fair
is being published second time.
Due to an error in the premium
list one Of the handicaps was O.
mitted. This handicap has to do
with the production Of cows which
have been in milk for several
months. Every farmer interested
in the butterfat contest should
make note Of this correction.
Directly under rule for the but
terfate contest on page 8 there
should be inserted the following
statement: "Actual production Of
cows who have been in lactation
beyond 2 months is increased five
per cent for each month or major
part thereof"
Production of heifers is in
creased as follows:
Under these handicaps a heSfer
3 to 3 1-2 years old which had been
milked four months would have her
production increased 10 per cent
since this is two months beyond
the two month period mentioned in
the above statement. This increased
production then would be increased
by 1S per cent according to the
statement in the premium list,
which would be the production
which could be expected Of her as
a mature cow.
A number Of farmers are inter
ested in the contest and several
have asked about the handlcsps
and it was a question of one Of
these to whom we had SPOKEN Of
the handicaps for the lactation pc
riod that called to our attention
the omission in the premium list.

The Y has been loading two cars

In short time the warehouses

Apples are being cleaned of spray

WEDDING

Professor Warren Hodge has dis
covered a practical use for the
beautifuI little park lying just be-
low the high school lawns. He says
that all his efforts for its building
and maintenance have bee n
prompted solely by his aesthetic
sense and that he never expected
it to be really utilized. However,
this afternoon two ears of people
drove up to the park, young
man and woman appeared, so did
a preacher, bible, a wedding ring
and crowd of spectators. In the
center of the diminutive park the
solemn ceremony was enacted,
whereupon all the parties returned
to their automobiles and drove
away.

700 ENROLL
IN SCHOOLS
FIRST WEEK
Attendance Larger than Last
Year with Many More Ex-
pected in Few Weeks-1SO
in High School, 30 of whom
are Seniors.

Approximately 700 pupils are
enrolled in the Kennewick schools
this year. The opening week has
been much the same as in former
years, the enrolment being a slight
increase over last fall. BY mid
year the attendance is expected
to have increased fifty or more as
a large number of persons delay
entering on account of fall work.
In the high school at present
there are $50 registered. This
number is expected to have in
creased to 200 or more by the end
of the first semester, and is about
the same as last year. There are
80 fourth-year students at present.
In the primary grades, where
the greatest congestion was an
ticipated, enrolment is normal.
Superintendent Hodge explained
that ordinarily there are a large
number of fruit workers in Ken
newick in the fall and that they
have a number Of small children Of
school age which crowd the pri-
mary department. No such situa-
tion exists this year, something
that is rather hard to explain.
The average size class this fall
is 80; the high school classes av-
erage 26.
A large number Of new text
books are being used. All grades
have new arithmetic texts and
most Of them new histories. The
new books are stritcly modern and
the best dbtainable. Mr.. Hodge
said today that the average life Of
school text book was five years.
Modern systems Of instruction
are used thruout. OF particular in
terest is the system Of achieve
ment" tests. In addition to the
regular tests prepared by each in
structor, series Of standard tests
are sent out from the office of
the superintendent with which the
individual teachers have nothing
to do These are uniform over the
state and furnish information
which enables the superintendent
to accurately check the work being
done with that in other schools Of
the state.

Meeting-Men of National
Reputation Deliver Sermons
Get Converts.

The convention of the Sunday
School and Young Peoples Society
of the Church of the Nazasene

cesses of the year, the local pastor
Rev. E. HI. Edwards reports. More
than one hundred out of town dele
gates have been present to hear
the inspiring lectures given by
men of national reputation.
The Rev. Edwards continues:
REV. and Mrs. HI. F. Schmelzen-
beck, missionaries in Africa for
twenty-one years, brought reports
from that dark field that fairly
melted the hearts of those who
heard them. Their two sons, who
are planning to attend the North
west Nazarene college this year,
sang in the Zulu language.
"Prof. R. ". DeLong, president
of the Nazarene college, and Rev.
Donald Smith, national president
of the Young Peoples Society. were
the chief speakers. They brought
addresses of instruction and inspi-
ration that will not soon be for
gotten by those who heard them.
The evening services were of the
evangelistic nature and the result
of them is the conversion of a
goodly number of young people" I"
The Nazarenes expressed them
selves as pleased with their recep-
ton in Kennewick and extended
their thanks and appreciation to
the business men of the town for
their cooperation. The convention
closes this evening with a sermon
by the Rev. Smith.
