THRU TRAIN
is FLAG STOP
N. P. No. 1 Ordered to
Pick Up Passengers for
Regular Stops West

Through the efforts Of the local
Commercial club N. p. train No.
L, due here at ten thirty-five pm,
has been made flag stop at Ken
newick. Since train No. Al was
taken off the run the first of the
year, there has been but the one
west bound train thru Kennewick,
after noon. The Spokane local
which arrives in Kennewick at
7:55 carries insufficient 'accommo-
dations for most of the travelling
public.
A letter was received by the
secretary of the club from the N.
P. recently telling of the new or
ders. The train will not take pas
sengers for any point west, but
only for the regular stops ordin-
arily made. No express business
will be accepted on this train, that
class of shipping being handled by
the earlier train.

SHIP 8 CARS
GRAPE JUICE
Local Plant has Biggest
Weeks Loadings Pay-
roll is Big Asset

Church's Grape Juice is now
finding a ready sale, shipments ev-
en- going as far east as New York,
according to a report made to this
paper today by A. A. Anderson,
who is in charge of the local
plant. The juice is rolling out of
Kennewick with speed this week,
eight minimum cars being loaded
since last Friday. The bulk of the
shipments are to coast points, tho
one car is billed to Tulsa, Okla.
One of the features that has
added to the popularity Of the local
product, according to Mr.. Ander-
son, is the fact that absolutely no
sugar, adultrants or preservatives
are added to the grape juice that
is now being bottled.
Mr.. Anderson points out that
the local grape juice plant is one
of the best assets that the town
and surrounding country can have.
In addition to paying the farmers
a premium price for the grapes,
the factory has an annual payroll
amounting to more than $4,000.

NEW ROUTE
TO OPEN SOON
Work on Horn-Fruitvale
Road is Progressing
Rapidly-Open Soon

The new road to the upriver
country is rapidly nearing COM
pletion, the work being done this
winter by the road crews from
Road district No. 2, under the di-
rection of P. A. Combelic.
The new road will shorten the
distance to Hanford and White
Bluffs by two miles, and will elm
mate crossing the Yakima river
twice and the irrigation bitches
several times, as well as provide
a wider and straighter highway.
The new road runs from. Fruit
vale, north of Richland, straight
west to connection with the old
road above The Horn.
Some five and half miles of
new road are being built. About
four miles have now been graded
and about mile and a. half is
gravelled, with the work progress
ing at the rate of about a mile a
week, according to Elmer Olson,
forman on the job.
improvements recently added TO
the rock crusher, which is located
near the work have increased the
capacity about a hundred yards
a day. Additional trucks are being
put on the job this week and the
work can be speeded up to the
capacity of the crusher.
The road will be known as the
Horn-Fruitvale road and is the
elimination of years work on
the part of the Commercial clubs
of Kennewick and the upriver
towns. 1t is the preliminary step
toward the securing of a north
and south highway as requested
by the war department in their
plan of giving the states assist
ance in the building of primary
highways.

leading presidential candidate in
this state. The plan is to promote
Mr.. Lowden on the east side,
where he has strength among
farmers, and to boost Mr.. Dawes
on the west side, chiefly in Seat
tie, and then combine the forces
at the republican state convention
in Yakima, May 5. The Hoover
people, headed by Charles Heb
berd, Spokane, and Ed Sims, Port
Townsend, are moving rapidly to
head-off the Dawes-Lowden COM
bine, which, however, has not yet
become formidable threat.
The Hoover candidacy was help
ed materially few days ago when
Gov. Hartley made a statement in
the Spokesman-Revie Spokane,
to the effect that he was not op-
posing Mr.. Hoover and would not
participate in presidential politics.

BUSINESS GIRLS
STAGE FIGHT!
Cigars and Boxing Gloves are
Prominent in Stag Party
Last Monday Night

The Stag party held Monday
night by the Business Girls was
most successful affair. Miss Co.'S
telo, Franklin county health nurse
gave a very interesting and in
structive health talk.
Following a short business meet
ing the program continued with
boxing, fencing, wrestling and
other sports too numerous to men
tion. Radio music was enjoyed
during the evening. Wires were
sent to KFI and KFRC with the
request to play special selections.
Chocolate cigars and licorlce
cigarettes which were passed a.
round during the evening, fur
nished a great deal of fun.
Two special features of the eve
ming were a HULA HULA dance
gracefully put on by an out Oh
town girl, and Jig put on by two
gentlemen who showed a great
deal of talent.
An appropriate lunch was serv,
ed by the committee, and a gooo
time was enjoyed by all.

BOW N ARROW
CRAZE COMES
Big Archery Contest to be
Pulled off in F ew
Weeks by this Paper

The craze for shooting arrows
has swept the country and in ev-
ery town and hamlet in the United
States the old game is being re-
vived. This is especially true a
mong the younger fellows who are
members Of the Boy Scouts. In the
local council, the executive is an
expert with his arrows and has
hunted and killed with them.
A great deal Of interest was
worked up among the boys who at
tended the Scout camp. Mr.. Hawley
gave instructions in the making
of the bows and showed the young
sters the finer points in their op-
Grafton. So great has become the
craze here that the Courier-Re-
porter is going to pull off an ar
cherry contest some time in the
next few weeks.
The contest will be conducted
under the rules and regulations ap-
plying to the archery game, and
anyone will be allowed to compete
for the prizes which will be Sc
lected later. There is but the one
condition-that the outfit be nome
made, by the person who is the
actual competitor in the meet.
Watch for further announcements.

WEEK
BIG SUCCESS
Speakers and Writers Call
Attention to Products
of Own Localities

Sponsored by the Washington
State Press association, Washing
ton Week was put owe. last week
with a bang all over the state.
Speakers at civic clubs, in the
schools, churches, writer's in the
newspapers and in every other
way, stressed the advantages Of
using Washington products.
AS part of the statewide pro-
gram, the Courier-Reporter fixed
up a display window featuring
Washington products principally
those made in Kennewick. In it
was displayed all the various
brands of flour made by the local
mill. Included in the list of pro-
ducts shown from the mill are
Big K flour, Washington Hard
Wheat, extra strong flour, coarse
and fine graham flour, whole wheat
flour, Lily White pastry flour and
their new brand, pancake flour.
In the window are samples OF
Twin City butter, DeSota Kiddie
Kups and Ice Cream. A full line
of the bottled goods from the
Church Mfg. Co. is also shown, as
well as some cement pipe from the
Reese factory and an orchard lad
der manufactured by the Wash
ington Street Mill. Samples of the
finest popcorn ever seen, grown
and popped right here in Kenne-
wick are on display, as well as
samples of the finest printed mat
ter that ever came to the state.
In the hopes of getting the peo-
pie of the state to realize what a
wonderful place Washington is,
and what great strides can be
made in improving conditions, once
they are fully aroused to the situ-
alton, the Washington Week is be-
ing put on each year. The argu-
ments for patronizing home insti-
tutions are so utterly obvious that
it seems that it should be merely
a matter of calling it to the at
tention of the residents in order
to make it success.

have signifed their intention.
The ballots will be printed Sat-
urday morning, and if anyone de-
sires to run for the job, notifying

1t has been the custom to sort
of give each section in the district
representation on the board. Mr..
Lampson has, been from the valley,

and Dale Smith for the west end
of the district. In order to keep
up this division, it is desired that
the member to be elected live in

money for the general conduct of
the schools has not been asked Of
the voters.

CONSOLIDATION PLAN
OF SCHOOLS DEFEATED

Consolidation of the Plymouth,
Paterson, Horse Heaven and Cool
idge school districts in the south
ern part of the county was defeat
ed by just two votes in the cleo
tion held last week. Three of the
districts voted unanimously for
the proposition, but Plymouth de-
feated it by two votes, and thus
defeated the entire proposal. The
three districts which cast a favor
able vote will vote on consolida-
tion again. Olaf Strandwold, sup
erintendent of schools, spent Tues
day in the Finley and Hover dis
tricts which are considering con-
solidation. An election will prob

LEAP YEAR is
NOT A MYTH
Lets do it Now, Dearest
Says Women as They
Pop the Question

"Hello dearest, now listen, this
is February 29th you know, / have
car and a job, don't you think
we oughta get hooked? What is
the use of waiting?" A period Of
intense silence, then: 9Th, beg
your pardon, what was that?"
"You heard what / said. I've got
a car and a job, it's February 20.
Hadn't we ought to get hitched
now?" s.... ....
Bushes! Bushes! Then more Of
'em. 1t has just dawned upon the
poor innocent male what it is all
about. Leap year! The women are
exercising their mythical privilege.
The victimized man we have quot
ed in the foregoing paragraph
leaned against the wall, grasped
the telephone with both hands and
gulped. ooh, why, er honey, this
is SO sudden! Really you will have
to ask father! Pm only making
about fifteen per week, do you
think we could get by on that?"
"Sure," came the confident reply,
"at least it will be lot Of fun
trying"
If there are any desirable un-
married men in the town after
this week, citizens of Kennewick
may feel assured that it is by their
own choice that they remain in
their state of single blessedness.
One particularly attractive young
man says that no less than half a
dozen girls called him up Wednes-
day morning. One of them, he said,
tried to make date with him for
a party Wednesday night and that
the only way he could get rid Of
her was to swear by all he held
holy that his heart was already
the property Of another.
One fellow, we learned upon
good authority, lodged all embar-
RAISING questions by remaining in
bed Wednesday, still others ar
ranged to be out of town. and
some boasted vulgarly that they
evened up all accounts with men,
bers of the opposite sex by shout
"No," at the top Of their voice
whenever approached. Anonymous
telephone calls seemed to be the
popular sport of a number of
groups of women. "Hello, meet
me at the park tonight, will yuh ?"
was the usual query, and "You
darned tootin', who are your" the
accepted response.
Nevertheless, as we go to press
we have not been informed Of any
proposed dissolution of the Busi-
ness Girls club; the Bachelors are
not, as far as it has been possible
to learn, anticipating a free feed:
nor have we seen any clergymen
promiscuously flashing five dollar
bills, so whether or not the efforts
of the ladies yesterday were
crowned with success remains a
matter Of speculation.

FREE TREES
MANY Farmers Take Ad-
vantage Of Offer to
Grow Windbreaks

Cooperating with the federal
government under the provisions
of the Clark McNary law, the state
college department of forestry
supplied farmers of Washington
with 100000 trees for woodlot and
windbreak purposes last year, it
is reported by Chas. M. Genaux,
assistant in forestry.
"Farmers throughout the state
have given the practice OF tree
planting practical test" accord
ing to Genaux, "and the constant
ly increasing demand for planting
stock is conclusive evidence of the
results Of past efforts. Our rec
ords show that when a man tries
tree planting one year, he almost
always continues for several years
until he has completely filled his
available space.
"One tree especially, the black
locust, has shown itself to be most
admirably adapted for planting in
Washington anywhere below 1000
feet elevation. Not only it is
drought resistant and a rapid
grower but the wood is extremely
valuable. Black locust telephone
poles, known to have been in use
80 years without treatment. have
