$500 ON
HAND AT THE
END OF FAIR
Despite Large Expenditures
Fair Association Has SUBJ
stantiaI Balance to Apply
Toward Building Pro
gram.

Much approval has been voiced
since the closing Of the fair last
week over the new location and
the arrangements that have been
made for the display Of the pro-
ducts from this community. From
financial standpoint this years
fair came nearer to the old time
standards set during the Grape
Carnival days than anything we
have had since.
While the total amount of mon
ey listed in the premium list was
eleven hundred dollars or so, there
was but 1912 actually awarded as
prizes, due to lack of entries. The
benefit carnival given a while ago
provided enough money to pay all
the cash premiums in which there
were entries.
With the payments on the prop
erty that have been made, the in
stallation Of the water system, the
building program which has been
followed so far, the wiring of the
grounds and the various other ex-
penses which have been met this
year, most Of which VIII not have
to be met again next year, the
fair is still to the good. While all
the bills are not in yet and ac-
counted for, as nearly as can be
estimated at this time there is
still a matter of seven or eight
hundred dollars above expenses.
This is considered rather q re-
marlable showing.
The queen contest was not the
success that it was hoped for. AS
a matter of fact there were but
fifty-four life memberships sold
by the queen contestants. Several
had previously been sold by the
fair committee, so that the cash
for the young lady contestants
were very much smaller than was
hoped for by. those in charge Of
the contest. The girls commiss-
ions, including the prize for the
queen, were less than fifty dollars.
A complete report Of the fin
ancial end of this years show will
be published next week.
The queen contest was rather an
unexciting affair, Miss Thelma
Anon having and maintaining the
lead throughout the whole con-
test, though Miss Hackney from
Richland gave her some anxious
moments toward the last when
she turned in over three hundred
thousand votes. Miss Amon's lead
was considerably IgBeater than
that however, so her leadership
was not threatened. Miss Anon
was active in her campaign and
sold more life memberships in the
fair association than all the other
together. Her total
vote was over a million, with bet
ter than 25O,OO0 lead over Miss
Hackney who took second place.
Miss Anon made q very pretty
queen and the coronation cerea
monies were in charge of the Bus
mess Girls, who secured DilIer
Fratt as the principal speaker.
Their ceremonies took place at the
fair grounds Friday night.

BIG ACREAGE TO GO
IN WINTER SPINACH

Earl Broughton, local manager
for the Yakima Fruit and Cold
Storage Co., which has opened a
branch office here, is planning to
ship winter spinach from Kenne-
wick in the early spring in carlots.
Tlready he has an acreage signed
up that should fill many cars. He
is warning the growers that the
seed should be put into the ground
within the next two weeks fer the
best results.
For truck gardeners, Mr..
Broughton points out that it is
possible to raise three crops on
the same ground in the Kenne-
wick district. Following the har-
vesting of the spinach in the
early spring the land can he pu.
into tomatoes, for instance, an
other crop which his company will
specialize in. Late spuds may be
planted following the early to-
mato crop, with a rotation again
in the fall.
His company plans to sign up q
considerable acreage of tomatoes
this year, and they viii install q
gas plant for the coloring pro-
cess. The deal was tried out this
year with such success that the
acreage will be greatly increased
this year.

MORTON COMES BACK

Rev. F. N. Morton was returned
to the Kennewick pastorate at the
annual M. E. conference held last
week at Lewiston, Idaho. This is
gratifying news to the many
friends of both Rev. and Mrs.
Morton, among the people Of the
local M. e. church and Kenne-
wick people in general. They have
always taken an active interest in
community affairs and are the
kind of citizens we like to have.
They are spending vacation at
the lakes near Spokane this week.

the Frame-Lb System!
Greco, Garlic Urge Workers

The following appeal to American
workers has been written by Calogero
Greco and Donate Garlic, who re-
Gently escaped the electric chair:
"Our first thought upon our release
and victory at the trial is to thank
the thousands of comrades and friends
and express our gratitude and APP
probation to those who fought for
our liberation from the net of fascism
and the frame-up system.
"The result of our trial was vic
tory over fascism, not only of Italy
but of the hideous elements in this
country that are growing in power
with the aid of the reactionary forces
of American capitalism. 1t was a
victory of the strength of the soil
darity Of labor over the black forces
of the frame-up system which i'm
prisons and kills our best fighters.
To Continue Fight.
"The working class, which fought
with such readiness for two anti-fas-
cist workers, has gained in self con-
fidence and the assurance of the
power it can exert against it's enemies
when unity and solidarity and clear
sightedness are its weapons. 1t is
our duty now, with this newly gained
confidence, to continue further the
fight which has already brought us
one victory.
"We heartily support the campaign
of the International Labor Defense
against the frame-up system. We
know the victims of this established
institution of American capitalism. 1t
brought to the death, on the scaffold
of Cook County, the martyrs of Hay
market. 1t has kept imprisoned
scores of the best representatives of
the American working class. 1t con-
tinues to confine labor fighters like
Tom Mooney and Warren X. Billings,
the members of the I. w. w. of Cen

others in all parts of the country. 1t

| Sacco and Vanzetti. 1t tried to send
US to the same terrible death. The
frame-up system has become an ever
ready weapon in the hands of the
capitalist class in its fight to enslave
the workers and crush the labor move
ment.
1--WE must begin a campaign
throughout the country to smash this
poisonous system, to root it out, and
to release its victims from their
prisons. Especially must we fight
theoretically for the release of Tom
Mooney and Warren Billings, whose
cause was first in our minds when we
were freed in the courtroom. Those
courageous and noble fighters who
have suffered the frightful torture of
ten years of Imprisonment solely for
their loyalty to the cause of the work
ing class have great appeal and
first claim upon the labor movement.
We must fight for their active return
in the same spirit and with the same
energy with which the working class
fought for Sacco and Vanzetti.
I'm our case, the lessons of the
Sacco-Vanzetti fight were well learned
by those who rallied to our cause.
The movement of defense was already
at hand when we were being prepared
for the trial. The defense was ready
and on guard, as it will be in the
future, before we were placed in the
death cell for execution. At the first
sign of the plans of our enemies to
send us to our death, the defense
movement was on hand prepared for
a vigorous struggle. Our case demon
strated more than ever the value of
the international Labor Defense,
which is constantly ready with the
machinery of defense, the means of
organizing the protest movement and
providing legal defense and public
agitation. The need of such an or
ganization, when the arrests of work
ers is growing throughout the coun-
try, is more imperative than ever.
Appeal to Workers.

Dor Defense and support it in it's great

this case was unity of all forces and
all shades of opinions in the labor

"We appeal likewise for the victims
of Italian fascism, thousands OH
whom are today in the clutches Of they

foulest dungeons or exiled to a ter
rible existence in the islands of the
sea. Thousands of the flower of the
Italian proletariat have been murdered
by the blood-maddened agents a
Mussolini and every day scores are
added to the long list of his victims.
And the fight against Italian fascism
must not neglect the struggle against
the fascist in this country who initia-
ted the frame-up against us. Like
the fascist in Italy, they are prepared
to destroy the labor movement, to
crush it or drive it underground. Their
violence. and hatred is directed not
only against the Italian workers In
this country, but against the entire
working class. Tho workers must
prepare now to fight them bitterly
before they are confronted with

appeal to the entire working class for

OUR M A JOR
CAMPAIGN
BY MAX BEDACHT.

ny Ni1A~N oAD1ASAAAs
The major campaign of our Party
at the present moment is the Labor
Party campaign.
This campaign has as its primary
object the breaking away of the
working masses from the support of
capitalism.
Slogan Will Win Workers.
The American working class, I'M
fortunately, does not yet exist as an
theological unit. The American
working class consists of millions of
workers who are capitalists from
their eyes up; and while the economic
status of the worker determines his
social class, yet it is the mind of the
worker that determines whether he
is conscious of his social status and
is willing to fight for an improve
ment for his class, or whether he is
blissfully ignorant of his social status
and is a willing fighter in the ranks
of an enemy class against his own.
The slogan for Labor Party is the
concrete formulation of the general
aim of winning away the workers
from the support of the capitalist
class.
Labor Party Unifying Slogan.
In the future, as heretofore, our
Party will react to all important
events in the class struggle with cam
paigns. These campaigns, however,
will not be independent and disjointed
actions, but will all be made to sup
port the main campaign "For a Labor
Party"
This will make possible a thorough
mobilization, theological and organi-
rational, for the carrying through of
the campaign. Tt will supply one
uniting slogan to all immediate ac-
tons of our Party.
Labor Party in 1928.
The coming election campaign in
1928 gives our Party an opening for
this intensification of our Labor
Party campaign; it opens the minds
of the masses of workers to the dis
cussion of political problems, which
we know should be the workers prob-f
lem always, not only on election year
but which the workers still leave outa
of consideration completely except on
election years.
Slogan in All Struggles.
The present struggles of the work
ers in the mining field, the open use
of state power against the workers,
the role of injunctions, the renewal
of attack against the foreign born
workers, and last but not least, the
local issues in the various localities
supply the base for our Labor Party
propaganda and agitation.
1t is these issues which supply the
avenues of approach to the class-un-
conscious American worker. All of
our Party units, especially our Agit-
prop Directors in the district, sub
districts, sections and lower Party
units will take up their duties in con-
nection with the Labor Party with a
clear understanding of this only pos
sible approach. 4
