White Bluffs tried out a new pit
cher, Dick Maddox, the Yakima stage
driver, in the game with Kennewick
here last Sunday, and before he was
lifted in the third or fourth inning
the visitors had scored enough runs
to cinch the game. Maddox had ap-
parentIy been good pitcher at one
tine for he knew what to do but his
control was bad and after walking
two or three men, hitting another
cverthrowing first and allowing hit
or two he, with the crowd, concluded
it was not his day to sing. These
miscuesr together with few errors
of omission and commission on the
part of the infield permitted Kenne-
wick to score six runs.
After Maddox had been removed
Williams went in and held the visi-
tors scoreless during the reat Of the
game. AS the local club was able to
push only one run across, the Kenne-
wick club captured the game six to
one. 1t was an interesting contest
after Williams went on the mound
and had he started the game it prob
ably would have been nip and tuck
affair. There was good crowd of
local fans out to cheer the home
team, which they did at every oppor-
tunity, but it must be admitted that
there were not many chances to ex-
ercise their lungs.
The game brought out some weak
nesses in the infield and Manager
Foltz says he will keep on making
shifts until he gets the strongest club
possible with the material he has to
work with. The local club will jour
ney to Kennewick next Sunday to
play the return game.

BOY SCOUTS ENTERTAIN
FATHERS WITH BANQUET

In the neighborhood OF fifty plates
were laid at the Father and Son BAN
quet given last Saturday even ng at
Grange hall. The banquet, which is
becoming an annual institution in
VIII te Bluffs, was sponsored by the
Boy Scouts. E. E. Kirkpatrick of
Kennewick, organizer and first scout
master of the local troop, was present
to act as toastmaster. After the
banqueters had done justice to a
sumptuous repast prepared by the
mothers of the Scouts and served by
the Girl Reserves, Rev. T. ]. Gray
responded to an invitation of the
toastmaster with a talk on the re-
laticnship of father and son, telling
of his own youthful experiences and
of raising two boys, bringing cut in
an entertaining way the necessity OF
patience and understanding on tfse
part of the father and loyalty and CO.
operation on the part of the son if
the ideal relationship is to be achieved.
( w. N. Underhill spoke next on
"The Ideals of Scouting" giving as
fine example of character building
through scouting, a young French
boy that he met when he was over
seas during the World War. This
boy. Mr.. Underhill said,. regulated
his almost every thought and deed
by the scout law and scout prime pies.
Scout Dudley Wilkinson told a
story of case where a young boy
whose leg had been cut off by a
train was able to save his cwn life
by applying the first aid knowledge
he had acquired while Boy Scout,
until medical aid could be reached.
Scout Robert Remlinger followed
with history of the local troop since
it was organized and said that the
older Scouts were having hard time
keeping ahead Of the younger boys
who were now joining.
Scout Russell Bla r played two har-
mon ca solos, and Scout George Ham
mer and Ralph Windsor sang two
popular songs.
Scout Russell Blair then gave an
explanation of the Scout motto and
scout law, which was very interesting
to those not familiar with scout work
The final talks of the evening were
made by Scoutnaster Floyd Goseard
and Assistant Scoutmaster Ralph
Windsor, both of whom said that
they got just as much pleasure out OF
acting as leaders for the local troop
as the scouts did in belonging to the
organization.
The Scouts have asked the Spokes-
man to express their appreciation to
all who help in any way in making
the banquet success, especially the
mothers who assembled and cooked
the d nner, and the Girl Reaerves

JACK FROST WILL FIND warm WELCOME HERE

a
On what kind of night will the
grower be obliged to fight frost, is
question in which he is interested
when brought face to face with the
job Of firing orchard heaters to pro-
tect his crop from damage by early
spring frosts, says the Yakima Her
aid.
Although the United States
weather bureau is able to make
minimum temperature forecasts and
discriminate them to growers early
in the evening, and in that way make
known the severity Of the frost that
may be expected, there remains some
few points that the grower must
determine for himself" said E. S.
Ellison of the weather bureau in
discussing the matter.
zone of these is whether the tenn
perature will fall slowly and steadily
to minimum at sunrise or whether
the temperature is likely to drop
suddenly below the danger point
before the heaters can be brought
into action.
ut is relatively simple matter to
determine before the heaters are
lighted some characteristics of the
weather for the remainder of the
night. The really dangerous nights
are those when there is no deposit
OF dew or white frost on the cover
crop or ON exposed objects when the
temperature is near freezing. On
these nights there usually is more
or less light wind and the tempera-
ture fuctuates widely.
when the wind dies out or lulls
temporarily the temperature falls
rapidly and usually reaches level
two or three degrees lower than that
reached On the previous lull.
"On such a cold night there us
ually is a calm period immediately
after sunset, the temperature falls
very rapidly until checked by winds
which usually occur spasmodically
between the hours of 9 to TO- o'clock
and or 3 o'clock. After about 8
o'clock a dead calm usually prevails
and the temperature after falling
dangerously low usually continues to
fall at the rate of about two degrees
an hour until checked by sunrise.
con those nights when there is a
generous deposit of dew on the cover
crop when the temperature is about
IS degrees it is positive assurance
that there will be no sudden irnpor-
tant drop in temperature. On such
nights the temperature usually falls
slowly and steadily yall night after
about 10 o'clock and there are no
rapid changes to be feared. The more
moisture that is deposited on the
cover crop as the temperature falls,
the more assurance there is that the
temperature will continue to fall
slowly.
"After sunrise on dry night the
temperature usually shoots upward
rapidly but on the low ground it is
! well to watch the sanzperatare unti
it is well above the danger point
especially if there is bank of clouds
low on the eastern horizon. There
are numerous instances of crops that
have been lost because the. heaters
were put out too soon and the firing
crews sent to breakfast"

h With apricots in full bloom and
peaches, cherries, pears and other soft
fruit not far behind them and the
apple buds fast swelling, these are
anxious times for the growers. The
heavy rain that fell Monday night
turned to snow on the higher ground
and the top of the Rattlesnake hills
to the west covered with snow and
there were patches of white on the
top of Saddle mountain Tuesday
morning. In the valley, however, the
temperature did not reach a point
low enough to do any damage.
E. E. Cook who has charge this
year again of the frcst warning work
in Benton county, with headquarters
at Kennewick, was a visitor in this
part of the county Tuesday on his
regular weekly visit. Mr.. Cook plans
to be in White Bluffs and Hanford
every Tuesday until about 2:30 o.
California to- Kennewick few years
ago at the solicitation of the Kenne-
wick Commercial Club, the scope of
Mr.. Cooks work has been extended
so that this year he covers all of
Benton county. There are six local
Stations in this part of tn. country
this year. They are located on the
Alex Parke, Ira c. Hawley and ]. H.
Gruetzmacher places at White Bluffs
and on the Joe Grell, Norman Anglin
and w. S. Weber places in the Han
ford district. Checks are to be made
daily at each of these stations and the
reports sent to MIR. Cook at Kenne-
wick.
Growers who are planning to do
orchard heating this season in the
event the weather makes 1t necessary,
are getting their equipment hauled
out in the orchards and are making
preparations to put up battle for the
fruit if Jack Frost gets to cutting up
again.
Mr.. Cook says he will be prepared
to test all Thermometers for this dis
trict free Of charge at the White
Bluffs Warehouse next Tuesday,
April 3, between the hours of $3.50
a. m. and noon. Inasmuch as so much
depends on the accuracy of the ther-
inometer, growers should have every
one in use, tested.
D.. S. Wilkinson of the Columbia
River Telephone company says that
he has made arrangements with Mr..
Cook to get the weather forecasts
daily and this information will be
given to all interested growers. The
reports will be received by the local
telephone company from Kennewick
about 1880 each evening and any one
can get the forecasts by calling CEN
trail between 7:30 and 8 o'clock. ANY
one who wants to be called during
the night in the event there is a sud.
den drop in temperature, can get this
service by simply asking the tele'
Ephone. company to place their name
on the list Of those who want to bs
notified. Thsss service will be givenab

Local strawberry growers will pro-
bably be interested in knowing that
Mr.. Cook will conduct further ex-
periments this year in the way of
protecting strawberries with burlap
covering well as heating.
