.PROSSER'S ANNUAL PLAY
DAY next MONDAY

Word from Prosser says that plans
have all been completed for the big
States Day celebration, an annual af-
fair of the county seat folks, on Labor
Day, September 2.
A. S. Goss, master of the Washing
ton State Grange, will be the princi-
pal speaker of the day. Mr.. Goss is
also member of the National Grange,
the Farmers Union, and the National
Farm Bureau and is probably one of
the best posted men in the state on
farm problems and conditions. His
address should be interesting.
The home talent midway" promises
to be an entertaining and exciting place
as many applications for concessions
have seen granted.
| The Stunts" that will be put on are
also expected to catch and hold the
interest of the crowd. The Yakima
Chamber of Commerce and the Yaki-
ma Lions Club as well as the Rotary
Club of Sunnyside, have signified their
intention to enter stunts. In the old
time fiddling contest entrants have
registered and four at least are expect
ed to take part in this feature.
A representative of the Washington
Cooperative Egg and Poultry associa-
ton has selected location in the park
for the display of Washington pro-
ducts. An expert will be in charge of
this exhibit and will demonstrate
Gambling, grading and handling of eggs
and poultry. An interesting dairy dis
play will also be made. Roy Jones,
field manager for the Yakima Valley
Dairy Development League, will be
on hand to discuss various phases OF
the dairy industry in the state.
And feature of the celebration that
will be of much interest to the young
sters will be the big Baby Doll and
Favorite Pet Parade. Every child has
some pet. With the girls it is usually
doll-a big doll, little doll, rag doll,
paper doll-and most of them have
some kind of doll carriage. With
the boys the pet is dog, pony, mouse,
chicken, sage rat, canary or pig. The
committee in charge of the celebration
would like to have at least so children
with their dolls or pets to take part
in this parade.
Other interesting events of the day
will be ball games and a big water
sports program.
The two big features in the evening,
the fire works and the big street
dance promise to be better than ever
The people who will furnish the fire
works say the pyrotechnical display
will surpass any thing they have at
tempted in the past. Ray Nickolaus'
orchestra will furnish the music for the
street dance and for the first time in
the history of Prosser the dance music
will be transmitted through the micro
phone and loud speakers used at. the
park in the day time. The dance will
be held on the street in front of the
post-office.

WANTS TO Be FLYER

F. A. English, Miss Ellen Ander-
son, Miss Agda Peterson and Mrs.
Edmund Anderson made up a party
that drove over to Yakima Monday.
On the return home they came around
by way Of Sunnyside so that Ellen
might have a short visit with Mrs.
Keith Keller, who, as Miss Esther
Malnborg was one of her teachers
in tile grade school here. They found
Mr.. Keller, also former resident of
White Bluffs, sailing around in an
airplane and learned that he had be-
come much interested in flying sew
eral months ago. He is now able to
fly ship alone and plans on going
East this fall to take an advanced
course in aviation and hopes to fly
ship of his own back to Sunnys;dc.

If YOU HAVE THE PULL
YOU CAN WIN $50

Every town for its own team
every team for its own town.
That's the slogan for the big pull
ing contest on Yakima Valley Day,
Wednesday, at the Washington State
Fair, when every community in the
valley sends l0-man team to pull
against the power-registering mach
inc, the dynamometer, in front of the
grandstand.
4, There's going to be side-splitting
fun to this deal. But there won't be
anything funny or phoney about the
prizes. Fifty dollars cash for first
winning team. Twenty-Five dollars
for the team that pulls next best.
And SIS and $40 for the third and
fourth prize winners. What Com
nercial club wouldn't lick up any
one of those neat sums as tasty
bit, and count the muscle-tug of its
champions right loyal donation of
brawny servicel
Secretary A. E. Lawson of the
State fair is very anxious to have the
names of the ten men from each
town. He also asks that the various
teams wear pajamas when they APP
pear for the pulling contest. What
kind? That's up to the teams and
towns. The State Fair is color-blind
so far as preference is concerned, and
the pattern may be as loud as the
voice of the grandstand announcer.
All the Valley boys and girls are
expected to be in good "hollering"
form that day, to cheer their teams
along while the pull is in full stretch.
It's to be Children's day, with free
gate for all youngsters under IL
years.
If desired, a team may be provided
with leader who, after the best APP
proved collegiate methods, shall urge
his manful ten to victory. If he feels
that his style would be less cramped
so clad, he, too, may wear the Of
fetal paiamas.
A free clinic will be held at the
Washington State Fair, Friday, for
children from infancy up to be-
ginning school age.
This will be conducted by DR.. II.
II. Skinner, wellknown Yakima
child specialist, in probable conjunc-
ton with an eastern specialist who is
expected to be in Yakima at Fair
time. Assisting will be Miss Mildred
Weber, of the Visiting Nurses asso-
citation, and staff of other trained
nurses and clerical workers.
1t is necessary that every parent
desiring to bring a child or children
for examination at this important
event, communicate Immediately with
Secretary A. E. Lawson at the State
Fair office in the Chamber Of Com
MERGE building, giving the name and
age Of the child. This name will
then be registered and the parent
will be told just what time to present
the child at the clinic. This prelinn-
mary registration is absolutely nee
essary in order that the clinic, always
an arduous undertaking, may be car
ried on without confusion or misun-
to lessen its intended
benefits.
Every mother of baby or child
nearing school age, who lives too far
from city to have access to the free
clinics for little ones should not fail
to come to the Fair on Friday and
find oft the tots exact physical
status. But register him FIRST.
Do it by phone, letter, or in person,
but-do it, and right away.

YUST how many thousands of golf
ers are facing the new campaign
with the fear of Slicing in their
~ hearts and the shadow of slicing
over their heads is an impossible
estimate. But their number Is legion
piled on legion. The hook may get you
into more trouble than the slice, but
the hook has a better feel and usually
a longer run. where the sliced ball has
the taste of ashes and the feel OF COM
plete surrender.
Any scientist who can take the slice
out of golf would be comforting boon
to humanity. since it is something that
eats into the soul of such human
army.
How can the slice be cured? This is
rather large order, since NUMBER OF
things can lead to this heavy malay.
It might be of more benefit to take up
the main cause of slicing. for II TINS
main cause is cured there will be mucn
less likelihood of any minor causes de-
veloping trouble. One famous expert
says that the main cause OF sliclng Is
starting the club back with the rignt
hand in control Another says that II
is not pivoting or turning, leaving the
left shoulder behind"
III
work together. The golfer who takes
the club back with his right hand
in full control Is almost certain to
leave his left shoulder behind, which
merely means that the left shoulder
doesn't pivot enough.
If the left side. left shoulder. left
hip and left knee are turned sufficiently
and properly toward the right on the
back swing, then the right hand and
arm will hardly have control OF the
back swing. If you watch most pad
slicers YOU will see an almost total alb
sence of pivoting or turning. They face
to the left of the course to allow for
the slice and keep their bodies almost
rigid. When the left shoulder Is locked
or stopped during the back swing the
golfer Is almost certain to bring the
club head across the face OF the pail
on the down swing. 1t is almost I'M
possible under this condition to swing
from the inside out" He VIII De sure
10 swing from "the outside in" And
the worse he slices, the more he will
lock or check that left shoulder.
The club head should be taken back
on an arc slightly inside the line OF
flight and it should come down on an
arc slightly inside the ball.
To get this effect it Is necessary to
let the left shoulder turn freely and
comfortably toward the right on the
back swing. One can do this and still
slice for other reasons. but one will be
much less likely to do so.
Here are just few suggestions for
those golfers who are constantly both
cred, annoyed, harassed and dismayed
by slicing:
1. Start with a square stance, not
an open one.
2. Get the left hand more over
the club shaft, with the back of the
left hand showing.
3. Be sure on the body turn to-
ward the right that the left shoulder
isn't locked or checked or left be-
hind. Let the left side turn nat
urally and easily, just as IL you we're
drawing back to throw a base ball.
These three things will prove to be
big help in curing slice.
The next step is to concentrate on
hitting with the club head and not
