CLUBS TO URGE
REGISTRATION
Civic Bodies Ask Mem
bers to be Prepared for
the Years Elections

While there is no particular
reason for hurrying, nevertheless
q concerted movement is on all
over the country to get out the
registration. In this state a new
registration is required this year
for everyone who wishes to exer-
else his voting privilege, whether
they live in the Incorporated dis
tricts or in the rural communities.
The registration for those living
outside the cities and towns will
be good for four years while in
the city limits it is good for but
two years.
In Kennewick pretty fair reg
istration has already been made,
both in the city and the outside
precincts. Pretty fair, that is, con-
cerning the fact that there is no
immediate prospect of an election.
The city papers, where they have
their local elections in the spring,
have made much of their registra-
ton lately, and our people have
been under the impression that
there were but few days in which
to get their names down.
The books are open all year
round, except for twenty days be-
fore an election-any election. The
boks for the three wards in the,
city limits are at the city hall, and
the clerk will be on the job each
day from ten o'clock until five, ex-
cept Mondays, when she is there
in the afternoon only. The five
outside precincts register at the
newspaper office, for the conven-
vience of the voters. These books
are open all day, every day.
The various civic organizations
of the city are urging a prompt
registration of their members. The
Kiwanis club has taken the mat
ter up and the Wornan's club and
Commercial club will undertake a
similar drive shortly.

WINS
FAST GAME
K. H. S. Takes Second De.
feat of Season-Play
Gle Elum Saturday

Defeating Kennewick for the
second time, Prosser cinched the
title to the championship of the
lower Yakima valley Friday night
in a basketball game that was one
of the fastest and most spectacu-
lar ever seen on the local floor.
Although the local squad was beat
en-, the final score being 15 to 20,
Prosser did not have the game in
the bag any time during the tus-
sic. The contest was thrilling one
from the first minute of play un-
til the final whistle. During the
first three quarters Kennewick
was often in the lead and until
the last few minutes of the game
it looked. as if the crack up-river
quintet, which is, as yet, .unde-
feated this season, had found its
equal.
In order to decide which of the
secondary teams of the valley
shall go to, Yakima to take part
in the district tournament to be
held February "a and %, Kenne-
wick and Gle Elum, runner up of
the upper valley, will play the first
of the more preliminary games at
Pasco Saturday evening, Febru-
ary 18, in the high school gym
nasium. Friday evenin Kenne-
wick was definitely relegated to
the number two berth of the
teams of the lower valley. Gle
Elum has team of no mean abil-
ity which promises to furnish the
local boys some worthwhile COM
petition. Yakima, Ellensberg and
Prosser are. the three major teams
which viii tangle in the tourna-
ment at Yakima. Should Kenne-
wick successfully dispose of Gle
Elum Saturday they still have an
excellent cha1t to represent the
Yakima valley in the state tourna-
hent to be. held in Seattle later.

GOLF BUGS TO
WORK SUNDAY
Putting Course in Shape
for Play Plan Inter
esting Tournaments

A crew of golf enthusiasts, arm
ed with rakes, shove1s and other
garden implements was out at the
golf course last Sunday and fixed
up three of the fairways. Another
work bee will be held next Sun
day morning, after which it is
hoped the grounds will be in shape
to complete the green's. All golf
ers in the community are invited
to be present at the bee Sunday
and the work of sanding the greens
will be done the following week,
as it is planned to hold the first
official game of the season the
following Sunday. A new tourna-
ment committee will be operating
at that time and an interesting
competition will be arranged.
1t is likely that the same ar
rangements will be made regard
ing membership this year as has
been in effect the past few years.

ASKS MINISTER'S TO
SEE 9TH HEAVEN
City Officials of Pasco to Come
Here for Advance Showing Of
New Feature Film

The ministers and the city Of
ficials Of Pasco have been invited
to Kennewick next Monday night
to Preview the showing Of the film
"7th Heaven" which will be run
ming here at that time. The book
ings for Pasco are later in the
week and the management Of, the
theatre is asking the Pasco men
to pass judgment upon the picture
before its opening over there.
Manager Les Fine of the two thea
tres is planning to do more or less
of this sort of thing in the fu-
ture, letting the prominent people
of the two towns get advance in
formation on the coming pro-
grams.
Mr.. Fine also states that the
theatres here have made arrange
ments to show at least once a
month, a new vaudeville circuit.
The circuit to which this house has
BEEN attached has been changed,
and we will now get the next high
er class performers-the same tai
ent that plays in Seattle and Ta-
coma, instead of that Of the small
er towns, like Walla WaIla.

SEATTLE TO AID
VALLEY PROGRAM
West Siders will Boost Reclama-
tion Work - Farm Appr0-
priations Sought

Assistance of the Seattle Cham
ber Of Commerce in obtaining ear
ly appropriations for the. develop
ment of the remaining portions of
the Yakima project was pledged
today by Foster Il. McGovern,
manager of the state development
department., who was in Yakima.
McGovern attended the annual
gathering of the Ellensburg Cham
ber of Commerce before coming to
Yakima with F. o. sHagie, secre-
tary of the Yakima chamber.
"Now that the various sections
of the valley have united on de-
velopment program there is no
thing to keep the state chamber
from putting it's representative in
Washington to work to obtain the
needed money as soon as possible, :
McGovern declared. $50 long as
the various sections here were di-
vided on the program to be fol-
lowed this was hardly possible"
Several other matters of inter-
est to the Yakima valley will be
taken up by the Seattle, Washing
ton representative. 1t is thot that
some pressure may be brought to
bear to induce the government to
allow the additional $4,000 wanted
for wire worm investigation.
Development of the Kittitas pro-
ject is being watched with great
interest by the Seattle chamber,
its representative declared today.
Most of the time of the state de-
. velopment department. is taken up
with aiding outside communities.
1t is realized that the develop
ment of Seattle depends on the de-
velopment of other sections OF the
state and of the entire northwest.

FORMER LOCAL
BOY GETS ROBBED
Clerk in Drug Store in Spokane
Stuck Up by Three
Niggers

George Mertes, former Kenne-
wick boy, was the victim of a hold
up according to the Spokesman
Review yesterday. Three men arm
ed with revolvers entered the drug
store where George is a clerk
Tuesday evening and took the
money from the cash register.
They took Georges watch and
chain, an Elk pin and what mon
ey he had, ignoring another clerk
and three customers in the store,
The robbers escaped in an auto
mobile. George grew up in Ken
newick, his parents being early
settlers here on the place in the
Garden Tracts now owned by s
S. Carman.

mercial club rooms, Mrs. A. f.
Brown, president, in the chair. Re-
ports were given by the various

MASS MEETING
TO BE HELD
Consolidation of School
Districts to be Con-
sidered Further
(Contributed)

II -
A mass meeting will be held in
the Finley school Thursday night,
February 16 at 8 o'clock to dis
cuss the possibility of consolidat-
ing school districts No. 8, 13 and
22 to increase the efficiency Of our
school systems. Everyone is in
vited to attend.
The following questions have at
tracted attention in the commun-
tiles concerned: Community activ-
tiles, Transportation, Gymnasiums,
Taxation.
Would the community centers be
disturbed? This would depend di-
rectly upon the community lead
ers. their interest in their COM
munity and influence oyer the
young people. Hover, perhaps
would have few high school ac-
tivities. Could not Finley enjoy
them?
Will taxes be lowered? There
will be an adjustment of taxes,
Should this consolidation be eff
fected. Hover and Finley would
continue to pay the bulk of tax
es. 1t is estimated that the schools
could be operated for II or II
mills based on $1,770, 900 valuation
Hover would continue to pay Is
mills and Finley 20. until their
bonded indebtedness was paid.
Modern transportation seems tt
be meeting the demands Of the
people, school discipline is better
maintained and little trouble ex
perienced. Some people seem to b
of the opinion that a gymnasium

MEETINGS TO
CLOSE SUNDAY
To Move Big Tabernacle
to Naches Soon-Other
Points Later

With Sunday nights service the
six weeks evangelistic services
conducted by Art Pope will come
to an end. Brought here, with the
knock-down tabernacle, by the
Yakima Valley Laymen's associa-
ton, the campaign has been con-
Quoted since the first of the year.
The plan Of operation is entire
ly unlike anything else known in
the world today. Planned and f.
nanced by INSTRUMENTATION lay
men of the valley, the campaign
will be conducted in the various
towns of the valley for a period
of one year or more. The first ser
les of meetings was held in Sunny
side, then in Prosser. From there
the tabernacle and crew were brot
to Kennewick and from here it
will be moved to Naches. Follow
ing a series OF meetings there, it
will be taken to some other town
in the valley.
Unlike most revivals, but little
stress is laid in this campaign up
on the financing. As it is cooper
ative movement, the actual ex-
penses have been very much less
than is possible by the hiring Of
the professional type Of evangel-
ist.
While not a success in Kenne-
wick, from financial standpoint,
nevertheless those who have had
the work in charge feel that the
series has been well worth while
from a moral angle. They feel
that the effects of their efforts
will be felt thruout the community
for long time to come.
Mr.. Pope is young man, tall
ented and capable and he has de-
livered his messages with an earn
estness and sincerity that has
found favor among those who have
attended his services. His converts
have not been secured with the
usual wave Of hysteria, but rather
they have been really converted
by the presentation Of religion as
expressed by Mr.. Pope.

ORANGES HAVE
GOOD MEETING
Game Laws and Dairy
Problems Discussed
Good Program

Benton County Pomona Grange
met with the White Bluffs grange
Saturday, February IL, with a
large attendance. In the absence
Of Mr.. McBee, Pomona master, C.
G. Williams acted as master.
Upon call for reports from the
various oranges all oranges re-
ported good progress including the
two new oranges. The oranges
newly organized are one at Rat
tie Snake and the other at Whit
stran.
The ladies of the home economic
committee exhibited the Smiley
quilt and the secretary was re-
quested to open the envelope con-
tanning the lucky number which
happened to be ID, and was drawn
by Harold Gerard of Finley.
A discussion was started by Mr..
Sands on the possibility of secur-
ing aid through the county agent,
with vetrinary problems of the
dairymen. The discussion finally
included work on milk testing,
that is, butter fat PRODUCTION rec
ords for herds in the county. These
two problems are to come up for
discussion at the next meeting of
Pomona.
The question, the game code,
came up and there was con-
siderable talk on the subject. The
following committee was appoint
ed to draft revision of the pres
ent law, the idea being to secure
law which would better fit the
demands of the grangers and land
owners. The committee appointed
is as follows. Knute Hill, L.. L.
Codd, C. Puderbaugh. The COM
mittee is to report at the next
Pomona grange.
The Pomona was invited to meet
with the Kennewick Valley grange
at their next meeting Saturday,
March 10. 1t was emphasized that
this meeting would start at 2 pm.
and grangers are urged to be pres
ent for the afternoon session at
this time, so as to have sufficient
time to transact the business dur
ing the afternoon.
Five candidates were initiated
in the 5th degree. A rising vote of
thanks was given the White Bluffs
grange for their splendid hospi-
tality.
The program for the lecture
hour during the evening was as
follows: Half hour concert by Pc.
mona band. Reading, Jimmy and
the OWL" Mrs. Holecek; vocal sole
by Miss Ethel Smith; dialogue
"The Wash Out" by Mrs. Allen

PICK SOFT SPOT
FOR AIR RIDERS
Airplane Landing Field
Cites Investigated by
Committee

The recent announcement that
within the year ssflivver" planes
will be on the market at figures
that will enable most anyone to
own>a skyrider, has given new inn
petus to the aviation committee
of the Commercial club This com
mittee has been gathering data
relative to aviation for some little
time sand today trip was made
over the surrounding country with
view to selecting a cite for a
municipal landing field.
In the opinion of several MEM
bers of the club, the time is not
far distant when every commun-
ity, if it hopes to keep up with
the march of events, will require a
landing field. Extension of the air
mail service to the coast will put
Kennewick upon the route of al
least two lines-Portland and Sc
attle-and the ordinary air traf-
fic finds this one of the most fav-
orable locations for a stop.
Three proposed sites were ex.
amined by the committee today
One just south of town on the sec
ond bench, about two miles out
one south of town and the goli
course. Nearly all the requirements
for landing fields can be secured
at all three places, within a reas
enable cost. The committees vii
make report of their findings a
the next meeting of the club.

One of the prettiest affairs of
the season was the Valentine
luncheon given to the Floralculture
club by Mrs. Cora McKain Mon
day. The rooms and tables were
decorated with cupids, hearts and

greens sent from California by
Mr.. Durbin. The menu carried out
the holiday idea also. During the
afternoon the ladies were set to
work making original valenties.
The results proved they were an
imaginative and inventive bunch
as no two were alike. The prizes
were carried off by Mrs. Clarence
Brownell and Miss Dorothy Brow
