SHIPPING GRADES
REVISION ASKED
Committee Wants horticultural
Department to Stop Green
Fruit Shipments

A decision to request the state
horticultural department of Ore
gon and Washington to hold grade
hearings and revise the grades was
reached by the northwestern COM
mittee on green fruit at a meeting
in Walla Walla Monday. The pur-
pose of this action is to prevent
the shipment of green prunes, and
cherries.
Lee M. Lampson represented the
Kennewick district. Men from We
natchee, Walla Walla and Lewis
ton were there. A thorough discus
sion of the Arizona Standardization
act was held. This act provides for
compulsory grading and eliminates
to a large degree the shipment Of
under-ripe products. The commit
tee declared that if the grade re-
visions of this season did not ac-
eomplish their purpose, an effort
would be made to get the state
legislatures to put through stand
ardization act similar to that Of
Arizona.

Dates of Carnival
Set; Will Sponsor
! Fiddlers' Contest
February % and March / Are
Named by Committee for
Fairs Winter Frohc; En-
trants Sought for Contest

February % and March / are
the new dates set for the Fair As
sociation's winter carnival. This
was decided at meeting Tuesday
night. DR.. L. G. Spaulding, city
health officer, declared that this
was far enough in advance to be
free from the meningitis quaran-
tine ban.
The outstanding feature of the
meeting was the arrangement for
an old-time fiddler's contest, open
to all bow wielders in the county.
The winner will play for the
square dances on Friday evening,
February %. The committee on
entertainment, which is sponsor
ing the contest, is anxious to Sc
cure as many entries as possible,
and asks that all would-be contest
ants send their names to E. C.. Dur
die, Kennewick, secretary Of the
association. The contest is open to
anyone interested and prize will
be awarded the winner. Entries
should be made Immediately.
A number of new suggestions
were made at the meeting, and
Durdle reports that the program
is being rounded out into a whole
that guarantees to provide the best
entertainment ever presented in
the community.

Thieves Make Off
With $3.50 Clothes,
JeWelry in Robbery
Hutchins Thought Chloro-
formed in Bed by Maraud-
ers Who Leave Tracks in
Mud; Clothes Taken

Making a stealthy way into the
Hutchins home Saturday and prob
ably drugged Floyd, thieves took
a suit, an overcoat, a watch and
several small articles of jewelry,
and left undetected. The only
clues are mud tracks leading up to
the first floor window by which
they entered, and mud tracks at
the head of Floyd's bed.
Hutchins first noticed something
wrong when he looked for his suit
while dressing the next morning.
It was gone, and further search
revealed the unexcused absence of
the overcoat and other articles. He
called the police, who sent him to
the doctor when he described wax
ing up with a paralyzed feeling.
DR.. L. G. Spaulding declared that
the night marauders had probably
held chloroformed cloth before
Hutchin's nostrils and put him
soundly to sleep.
The loss amounts to about $130,
Hutchins said.
Chief of Police Copeland is work
ing on the case, keeping an eye
out on possible local developments
while checking up on outside sus-
poets.

B Rhat YOU Think

What effect will San Francisco's
model bank robberies have?
e. G. ANDERS0N-It seems TO
me that it will be a good oppor-
tunity for the crooks to gather
round and get a line on the po-
lice method, enabling them to work
out better robbery schemes. The
crooks will discover weak points
of their own to strengthen, and
weak points of the police to take
advantage Of.
C. e. HILLIER-Someone is la
able to get excited at one of these
fakes and start shooting. The po-
lice had better concentrate their
activities on real bank robberies.
There are plenty to go around.

NEW HIGHWAY OPEN
Ki0na-Prosser Stretch Delights
Motorists; Condition Good

The new highway between Pros
ser and Kiona was officially open
ed to traffic last week, and re-
ceived the commentator of drivers
who reported it to be in excellent
condition.
Bad weather conditions delayed
the opening of the road, and a land
slide further complicated matters,
since several tons of earth had to
be removed from the roadway. The
surface will be oiled this summer.
The stretch, which is little over
Is miles long, provides a direct
route from Kiona to Prosser on
the south side of the river, avoid
ing the twists and turns of the old
road.

wv ashington First
On Calendar Next
Week; Wooper Up
Slogan is RalIying Cry for
Citizens Who Plan to Learn
Outstanding Points of Own
States Superiority

"Whooper-Up for Washington. i"
That is the phrase on the tongue
of virtually every citizen in the
state of Washington as the end Of
the fifth annual Washington First
movement swings over the horizon
for the week of February 1928,
week of George Washington's
birthday anniversary.
"Whooper-Up for Washington"
is the rallying cry that is resound-
ing through the industrial, agricul-
tural and mining and other sec
tions of the state as commercial
clubs, civic organizations, newspa-
pers, radio stations and public
spirited groups join in singing the
praises of Washington. With a
motto of Washington First, speak
ers, newspapers and radios will
get on the band-wagon and remind
the states citizenry that the state
is gaining population almost as
fast as it is winning new laurels
for its agricultural products,
schools, scenic attractions, indus
trial products, lumber, pulp and
paper, apples, small fruits, oysters
and almost all its products right
down to piano sounding boards and
cabbage seed.
Washington First is the goal of
ali of Washington's activities. The
week of February 1928, selected
in enumeration of the first Presi-
dent of the United States, is re-
garded as the best time to invite
the people of the state to join the
celebration sponsored by the WASH
ington State Chamber of Com
merce, Manufacturers Association
of Washington, and the Washing
ton Press Association.
The aim of the movement is to
acquaint the state with itself, as
every spot in Washington has some
outstanding feature that makes it
desirable place In which to live.
Large sections of the state are
mining centers, many depend on
timber, several on fishing, others
on apples and small fruits, and
scores of cities and towns depend
upon wheat and other grain crops.
In addition to this list there arc
hundreds of towns and commune
ties that boast of their CARL
produce, cherries, strawberries,
poultry, dairy herds, scenic re-
sorts, and countless other sources
of income and livelihood.
In its "Whooper-Up for Wash
ington" campaign, the state of
Washington is going to show the
world that it is to be reckoned
with, and that the citizens are
striving to make Washington First
in everything possible.

st. Valentine?
y
He Started It.!

It is a far cry from an eccles-
iastical martyr to comic Valen-
tine, bat the distance has been ac-
complished by the human idea of a
good joke.
st. Valentine was priest in
Italy in the third century who was
famous for his practice and preach
ing of Glove one another" Follow
ing him, people began to send once
a year some token of affection to
their friends. Thus was Valentines
Day established. Love generally
was narrowed down to mean love
between man and maid, and the
era Of sentimental and flowery
Valentines was inaugurated.
Beaus and handles We'd with one
another in their efforts to please
their ladies with amorous effus-
ions. Lace paper, plump Cupids
and hyperbolic verse rioted down
through the ages on February Ia
as the SWANS tried to bring palpi-
tations of the heart to members of
the fair sex.
Comic valentines, joy of the
joker and bane of the recipient,
have existed more or less contin-
uously along with their effulgent
cousins, but the arly years Of the
twentieth century saw them in full
sway. One saved up all insulting
thoughts for the year, put them in
a comic valentine, and sent it an
onymously to some acquaintance.
If the insults hit the mark, so much
the better. The practice became so
vicious, and it's results so unsoc-
liable, that it has gradually been
dropped.
Candy, flowers and little gifts
are taking the place Of written
sentiments, which are stereotyped
and not always appropriate. As
long as the business man is our
national hero, candy will win over
verse.
Anyhow, St. Valentine has been
showed under in the storm Of lace
paper, but he started the whole
business!

Valley Reclamation Enthus-
lasts 20 Present Develop
ment Requests Before Fed
eraI Commission

The special investigating COM
mittee from the federal reclama-
ton department will be in Kenne-
wick Friday. They met in Yakima
today and organized, held meet
ing and went over some of the de-
tails of the project in the upper
valley.
Tomorrow they will meet with
the directors of the Kennewick r.
rigation district, the Highland Wa
ter Users and the irrigation COM
mittee of the Commercial Club to
consider the Kennewick irrigation
problem and its relation to the
Yakima project as a whole. Data
has already been submitted to the
committee concerning the relief.
Kennewick is asking for an en-
Urgency appropriation to serve the
Highlands and some adjacent land
until such time as the high line
canal can be constructed and put
in operation. A general condition
of delapidation of pipe lines, To-
gether with worn out and ineffie-
lent pumps provide insufficient wa
ter to grow normal crops. @
The committee has acknowledged
the urgent need of relief and the
question to be decided is whether
the high line construction can be
completed at a date early enough
to save the district or to provide
for the reconstruction of the pump
ing plant and enlarge the present
system.
The men representing the recla-
nation department will also en-
body in their report to Director
Mead the extent and the order Of
construction of the various other
units of the Yakima project. DR..
Mead has promised an early con-
sideration of the report and it il
hoped that it will be made public
by the first of March.

Ten Years Ago

On February IL, 1920, b. T.
Haines, editor and publisher of the
Richland Advocate, dropped dead
on the street a short distance from
his office at 9 o'clock in the morn
ing. DR.. C. d. Hopper of Kenne-
wick who was summoned and was
in Richland in half an hour, said
the editors death had evidently
been instaneous.
The Columbia Clothing company
was broken into last night (Feb-
ruary IL, 1920) and goods to the
value of more than 500 were stol-
en-. The robber or robbers effected
entrance by breaking a rear win
dow.

cert in the Methodist church Fri

Food Freezes
y y
Grain Supplied

Cold weather was hard on other
creatures besides humans. Wild
ducks, whose food supply disap-
peared when the Columbia river
froze over, would have persisted in
lange numbers had it not been for
N. e. Palmer, county game war
den, who distributed four tons of
wheat along the % miles of feed
ing grounds on the west bank of
the river.
This was no small job. Begin
ming January IL, Palmer visited
the grounds on alternate days UNI
til February 1, distributing six
sacks at each feeding. Over 5000
ducks and large flocks of upland
game birds were thus kept alive
when natural food sources disap-
peared under a blanket of snow
and ice. The cost was $3.50, as
compared to 1888 the year before,
when the feeding period was much
longer. The county game commits
sion supplies the grain.
Despite the extreme conditions,
game birds of Benton county win
tered well and there is a fairly
good crop left from last year, Pal
mer declared. After the chinook,
the birds were able to shift for
themselves, and the game warden
said that probably no more assist
ance would be needed this year.
