PEOPLEURGED
TO PREPARE
EXHIBITS NOW
Secretary of Fair Association
Tells Proper Way to Make
Ready Exhibits-AH Citi-
zens of Community Asked
to Help.

The premium list for the Ken
newick fair has been mailed to
those on the rural routes of Ken
newick, Richland, and one route
out of Pasco and most of those
wishing to make exhibits at the
Fair should have the premium list
by this time.
It is important that exhibits
of certain crops he selected at
this time and put into proper
shape for exhibition. Such crops
as the grains, grasses and several
of the forage crops, if selected just
before time to harvest make the
best exhibits. They should be cut
as close to the ground as possible
selecting four or five times as
much as one will want for a bun
die, and then tying loosely with
strings that are not too small. in
four or five different places thru
out the bundle. They should then
be hung on wall preferably in
side away from direct sunlight,
and better still, in a dark place.
If hung in dark place the mater
ial will not bleach and it makes
a much nicer looking bundle at
the fair: If hung with the heads
down. until dry, the heads will
then remain erect on the bundle,
when turned with the heads up for
exhibition purposes.
Grains particularly, should be
stripped; that is, the leaves should
be pulled off Of them before MAX
ing the bundle and this can best
be done before the straw gets too
dry. "A very efficient stripper for
doing this work can be made of
an ordinary clamp for Economy
fruit jars. The little curve near
the end of the clamp, being sharp
ened ,on the edge which would be
used in working down of the straw,
and this edge would depend upon
whether person is left handed
or right handed. The clamp should
be inserted into a handle which
can be purchased at a hardware
store. We have several of these
clamps at the county agents of
flee and would be glad to loan
them to anyone wishing to use
them.
We trust those who have re-
ceived the premium lists will look
it over carefully and begin to
make preparations now for the ex-
hibition, which they expect to
make the first week of September.
Cash prizes have been allowed for
practically all departments and
this year bids to be the best year
that the Kennewick Fair has had.
Its success, however, depends upon
the cooperation of the growers of
the community and we trust that
everyone having products, will
bring Of their best to the fair.
The entertainment features of the
fair this year have been planned,
and it is expected that it will be
far superior to those in the past,
in fact the two days, September
z and 8 are to be the big days at
Kennewick this year. =

WAGES WAR ON
KEN N WICK'S
BOOTLEGGERS
Liquor Dealers Must Buy Lie
ense or Be Guilty Of FEEDER
al Offense- Hazeltine Tells
Spicy Stories of Booze
Making.

~. Hezeitlne, FEDERAL prohlbl-
ton investigator, was in the city
checking up on the justice and
police dockets to see whom he
could list for assessment of some
old revenue taxes under the laws
passed by the liquormen them
selves some forty years ago to
protect themselves against boot
leggers and Moonshiners.
Prohibition Commissioner Nor
an conceived the idea of further
discouraging bootlegging by the
collection of these taxes from
violators of the liquor Laws who
had already been convicted not
only for encouragement purposes
but also for revenue as well and
Hazeltine says that his judg-
ment is being verified both in dis
couraging violation and also from
q revenue point of view. Last
month convicted Washington bot
leggers comprised these suits for
taxes unpaid in $1,000. This state
has been the first in the United
States where this new plan has
been tried and it has been SO sue
cessful that it is predicted that it
will be used in all of the other
states. Hazeltine is about through
in this state and expects to go to
Oregon next. While Washington
bootleggers have, therefore, had
the distinction of being the first
ones to be thus assessed they will
not be allowed this distinction ex-
clusively.
Under these old regulatins if
a bootlegger fails to pay an old
government revenue tax of $25 he
can be assessed a penalty as high
as $4,000. The last tax he is going
to pay is that $25 as under pro-
hibition such payment would put
the prohibition agents on inquiry
as to why he paid it. In the old
liquor days he paid it to keep the
federal revenue men off him and
then he took his chances with the
county and city authorities on
evading the liquor licenses. The
records show, says Hazeltine, that
twice as many men paid the s25i
government tax in the old days
as ever took out local licenses,
showing that most of the rest
must have been bootleggers. I'm the
same way moonshiners fail to pay
the old government revenue tax
and run the risk, if convicted and
fined of having to pay in addition
penalty of $1,000. IF he colors
hs "White Mule, under an old
revenue law he is liable for pen
atty Of $500 for being rectifier.
Then $40 can be collected for
every gallon man has on hand.
Hazeltine reports that he has
now visited about all the counties
in the state and that county and
city authorities are increasingly
doing their duty as enforcers OF
the state prohibition law and not
passing the buck to the federal
officer as formerly. This policy
leaves the fine at home whereas
fines levied in federal court go to
Washington city. The sheriff
gets half of the fines levied at
home and the other half goes to
the school fund. The federal pro-
hibition agents are few in num-
