FIRST CAR OF CHERRIES
TO ROLL next WEEK

The picking of cherries in the val
ley this week has been confined
largely to the Tartarians, Royal Annes
and other early varieties. The cool
weather that prevailed the latter part
of last week and the forepart of this
week slowed up the ripening of the
Bings and Mr.. Campbell, of Kenne-
wick, representing the Three Rivers
Growers association, who will market
most of the cherries in this valley this
year, advised the growers to leave
their Rings on the trees until the
first of next week. The Three Rivers
expects to ship at least one straight
car of Bings from White Bluffs and
this car will probably roll about the
middle of next week. During their
extended stay on the trees the cher
ries are expected to take on con-
siderable weight, size and color which
will make them better marketable
product. The stringing out of the
harvesting season should also help
the price as it will prevent the Cutting
of the marketing centers.

LOCAL CLUB FAILS TO
HIT and LOSES II TO |

Julius Ross of Yakima, and bat
terry mate from Seattle, working for
Hanford beat the White Bluffs ball
club on the local grounds last Sum
day by score Of II to l. Julius has
been living in Yakima for the past
four or five years but prior to that
he used to cavort in these parts and
was rated a pretty fair chucker. He
demonstrated Sunday that he still
retains much of his cunning and that
he has been keeping in condition, by
going the full nine innings. He de-
pended principally upon change
of pace that COMPLETELY baffled the
local hitters. 1t is the first time
this season that they have been up
against a pitcher of this type and
they were off their stride during
the whole game.
The Hanford club was further
strengthened by new third baseman,
formerly of Pasco. These three addi-
tons just about remade the Hanford
club.
Herb Cords was the starting pit
cher for White Bluffs but was not
at his best. 1t takes good hot day
for Herb to do his stuff and Sunday
was a cool day. He retired in the
middle of the game and AL Anderson,
who had been catching, went into the
box. AL had lot of stuff and smoke
but had no practice this year and
could not locate the plate. He finally
had a resort to straight balls in an
effort to get them over and between
bases on balls, hits and few errors,
and the rain which began to fall
steadily about that time the game,
as such, from then on lost much of
its interest to the spectators.
When White Bluffs takes the field
at Benton City next Sunday the club
will be playing under new manage
ment. Harry Foltz, who organized
the club this year and who has been
in a large measure responsible for
it's success, resigned Monday and at
a meeting that evening "Pie" Nor
ford was elected field captain and
H. A. Knowles, business manager.
The visitors got off to good
start by scoring two. runs in the first
inning, on couple of hobbies and
some timely hitting. The home clubs
big chance came in the second inning,
when they filled the bases with no one
out With the three big hitters on the
club coming up it looked like some
ting might happen but the best that
they could do with that set-up was
to score their one and only run of
the game.
Kennewick took Benton City at
Kennewick in close ten inning game,
by score of to 8.
While White Bluffs is trying to get
back into it's stride next Sunday at
Benton City, after two straight de-
feats, Kennewick will tangle with
Hanford on the latter's grounds.

FIVE COUNTIES TO ASK
STATE AID FOR ROAD

An organization that has for its OBJ
ject the inclusion in the state high
way program of the road from Mckee
through White Bluffs to connection
with the Inland Empire highway at
Lind, was formed Wednesday follow
ing q luncheon at the Commercial ho-
tel in White Bluffs.
The meeting was attended by Coun-
ty Commissioners Phillips, McMana-
mon and Osterrich and County En-
gineer Reese Of Adams county. Coun-
ty Commissioners Lamb, Jensen and
Neff and County Engineer Smith,
of Franklin county; County Com
missioner Beck of Grant county:
County Commissioners Barker and
Flanagan, County Engineer Brasil
ers and Senator Dimmick of Yakima,
as we'll as number of residents of
White Bluffs.
Nearly all of the visiting officials
spoke on the necessity of the road
but emphasized that inasmuch as it
would be used principally by cross
state travel, it should be built and
maintained by the state. 1t was point
ed out that in the distance of approx
imately 100 miles between Mckee and
Lind all of the road has been graded
and most of it surfaced excepting
about ID miles between the east side
of the Columbia river at White Bluffs
and point six miles south of Othello.
OF these IA miles, 3 are in Grant
county and the balance in Adams and
Franklin counties. Some work has
been done on all of the IA mile
stretch and it is in pretty fair condi-
ton most of the year, but of course
is not in shape to stand heavy travel.
I'm the association formed, d. S.
Wilkinson and F. A. English of White
Bluffs were made president and see
rotary, respectively, and James Nc
Manamon, treasurer. The affairs of
the association are to be directed by
a board of trustees consisting of one
county commissioner from each OF
the five counties through which the
road passes, the choice of these to be
left to the officers. The authority for
giving the association name was al
so left to the officers, who announced
that they would be glad to have sug-
gestions for name from any one

AZ WOMEN ATTEND

Of value to every one of the for
ty-seven women attending, was the
demonstration of electric range cook
ing conducted by Mrs. Audrey Her.
ington and Miss Elsie Goodell, Pac-
ific Power & Light company home
appliance experts, at Liberty hall,
Wednesday afternoon.
The demonstration lasted for Two
hours that were busily filled in by
both lecturers and audience. AS Mrs.
Harrington and Miss Goodell explain
ed clearly and carefully the correct
uses of both an electric range and
refrigerator, their hands moved deft-
ly at the same time and almost mag
ically, it seemed, raw materials were
changed into beautifully baked cakes
and pies, broiled steaks and sizzling
roasts-in fact, whole dinners, right
ready for consumption.
And while this was going on, the
women in the audience were just as
busy, taking down recipes in the neat
little books furnished by Mr.. King
man: asking questions: watching
Mrs. Harrington as she worked and
listening as she talked.
In the drawing of names that fol
lowed the demonstration, Mrs. Mary
Potter won the electric toaster and
Mrs. j. C. Lloyd triumphantly car
ried home the broiled dinner.
Miss Roberta Smith returned t.
her home in Beverly Monday evening
after few days visit with the Misses
Ruby and Marguerite Penn.

The rain that fell last Friday,
Saturday and Sunday was the heavi-
est for this time of year in several
seasons. 1t was of irnmeasurable bene-
fit to the roads and frightened things
up generally. 1t lodged some Of the
alfalfa where the stand was heavy

which was general all over Eastern
Washington, was especially welcome
in the wheat country, particularly in
the earlier districts like that between
Othello and Ritzville, where it prac.
tically assured good crop.

MOTH TRAP RECORD

While there has not been much
moth activity the last week, there
was enough to indicate light egg

the apples covered in order to main

A combination lead-oil spray will not
be necessary at this time, but the
lead covering should be done as
thoroughly as though there was a
heavy hatch.
Don't forget the worm situation in
this district last year, compared with
others. We had the cleanest fruit of
any district in the Northwest.

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, May s.
Three hundred representatives OF
banking groups from every State in the
United States today were prepared for
business sessions of the American Bank
ers' Association Spring meeting In ses-
sion here.
The meeting was opened last night
by John G. Lonsdale of st. Louis, presi-
dent of the association. He predicted a
forward movement of business in an
orderly manner, and without credit
stringency."
Branch and group banking is the
principal topic of business discussions.
Morning and night sessions of the ex-
ecutive council will be held tomorrow,
with another session Wednesday morn
Ing and final gathering at the con-
clusion Of the meeting Thursday.
Roy A. Young, governor OF the Fed
eral Reserve Board, will address the as
ISOLATION at the annual family" dinner
Wednesday night.
Speaking of recent financial problems
faced by the country, Mr.. Lonsdale In
his opening address said. Our banking
position is favorable to support fully
all conservative demands for credit.
rates have eased considerably, and
diffusion of credit into smaller centers
is beginning to be noticeable. Indi-
vidual bank transactions outside the
larger centers, indicate a weekly aver
age only slightly less than a year ago,
but larger than the first quarter Of
1928. There are no insuperable dim
culties in the banking field or in the
money market generally, and prudent
undertakings are generally assured OF
banking support. Indications are that
II money becomes much cheaper it will
not remain so for long, and expect
firming tendency, due to increase de-
mand, will be manifested within few
months"
