Joe Cook in
 Garden Feature Famed Comedian Offers
 Laughs "Rain or Shine"
At the Garden Theater Sunday, Monday and Tuesday

The endlessly surprising Joe Cook triumphs over the talkies in his debut in ''Rain or Shine" which Columbia pictures have ably trans- ferred from stage to screen, will be featured at New Garden Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
 Joe Cook Is an amazing personal ity. He is something distinctly dif- ferent and altogether refreshing. He is an aggregation of stars. When single-handed he attempts to replace the entire personnel of three-ring circus, and does 1t successfully, too, the spectators emotions are com plication of hilarity and amazement.
 The big case of movie stars, in- cluding Louise Fazenda, Joan Peers, William Collier. Jr., Alan Roscoe and Adolph Milar acqnit themselves most creditably. Louise Fazenda. plays one for which she is famous. It Is mas terpiece in caricature,

proved transfer of rural routes be-
tween carrier c. G.. Osenbaugh of
White Bluffs and Oscar c. Young of
Eveleth, Minnesota, the transfer to
become effective July l.
Mr.. Osenbaugh came here about a

west on account of his wife's health,
her doctors having advised her that
she must get away from the Mime
sofa climate.
The transfer also involves the ex-
change of household goods between
the two carriers who will drive thru
in their cars to their new destinations.
Under his present plans Mr.. Osen-
baugh expects to leave White Bluffs
with his family on the evening Of
June Is and Mr.. Young expects to
leave Minnesota June IL.

TIME TO SPRAY
FOR ELM LEAF BEETLE

In past years the Elm Leaf Beetle
has done considerable damage to the
Elm trees throughout the county.
The adult or beetle is about one
forth inch long, is rather greenish-
yellow in color with two black stripes
on the wing covers. 1t hibernates as a
beetle, usually in crevices or under
the bark of trees. In the spring the
adult attacks the Elm tree, eating ir-
regular round holes in the leaves.
Yellow bottle shaped eggs are laid
in double rows on the under side of
the leaves and from them hatch the
dark yellowish striped larvae, covered
with little bristly tufts Of hair. The
young larvae begin eating on the
under side of the leaves, soon skele-
tonizing them. Where severe infesta-
ton occurs the Elm trees may be
kept in constant state of partial or
complete defoliation, which may cause
them to die. The larvae reach full
growth in Is to 20 days, pupates and
changes to beetles within to 10 days
later, thus completing the life cycle.
AS the larvae and adults both eat
or the leaves, they can be effectively
controlled by thorough and timely APP
plications of an arsenate or lead spray
at strength of pounds of arsenate
Of lead to 100 gallons of water This
spray should be applied before the
first of June. Particular attention
should be given to thoroughly cover
ing the under side of the leaves, as
that is where the young larvae feed.
Where serious infestation occurs, il
may be necessary to make a second
application Of the spray 10 days later.

wENATCHEE MAN HAS
BOOST FOR VALLEY

l.. G. Bovee of Wenatchee, whose
mother owns a tract of land near
j Hanford, was a visitor in the valley
ia few weeks, a guest at the HI. p
McGlothern home. He made quite ar
/ intensive study Of conditions here and
upon his return home he told his i'm
pressions to the Wenatchee Daily
World and the following article, ac-
companied by large cut of the dis
trict, was published in the World
May 81:
Voting of $125,0OO bonds by grow
ers recently to buy the Priest Rapids
power plant the Columbia and the
canal system to carry water pumped
from the Columbia to the land means
that the White Bluffs-Hanford dis
trict is facing new era of progress
and soon will be one of the states
richest and most productive agricul-
tural districts, says L. G. Bovee, Wen
atchee district managed of the Farm
ers Telephone and Telegraph company
and the Interstate Utilities.
The big hydro-electric plant and
appurtenances which furnishes pow
err to pump water to that fertile dis
trict actually cost $843,00O to build.
1t is being bought by growers of the
district for only $4,000.
Bovee, after a thorough study of
the entire project, says he is salts
fled the landowners, are taking a big
step in the right direction by buying
the plant and irrigation system from
the receivership.
"The White Bluffs-H anford dis
trict is one of the finest places for a
man to make q living-for family
to make home-in this country"
Bovee says. "With the contamination
of this water deal and improving the
system, that country is made. They
have rich soil, a fine climate with
long growing season, and this will
give them plenty Of water. The Mil
waukee line in there gives them trans
portation."
AS soon as the deal is completed,
repairs will be made on the power
plant and irrigation system with re-
mainder of money received for the
bonds. The Chicago, Milwaukee, st.
Paul & Pacific Railway company has
agreed to buy 100000 worth of the
bonds, it is understood.
Bovee believes growers will not
have to pay over $3.50 or $40 an acre
for water. This will retire the bonds
within % years. During the first two
years they will have to pay only main
tenance and $1.20 an acre interest.
There are 6,100 acres under the pro-
ject that can be irrigated.

lAMPSON APPOINTED ON
NATIONAL COOP BOARD

Lee M. Lampson Of Kennewick,
manager since it's organization Of the
Three Rivers Growers Association, has
been appointed as the director from
the Pacific Coast on the board of the
National Fruit & Vegetable Exchange
recently formed under the Farm
Board Act to stabilize the market by
selling comparatively fruit and vege-
tables in the nation. The detectives of
the new organization are to dissent
nate news in the producing sections
as to size of crops, time of maturity
and the markets to which produce is
consigned to prevent Cutting. All of
these things will tend toward orderly
marketing and, it is hoped, stabilize
prices.

Linotype Is
Installed in
Print Shop
New Machine Will Help
Spokesman to Give
Better Service

The Spokesman this week added
another important machine to it's
equipment by the installation of a
linotype. The new machine is the
property of George Chase of Wen
atchee, who will probably become as
ISOLATED as a partner with the present
owners of the plant.
Mr.. Chase is a son of Marvin Chase,
for the past four years receiver for
the irrigation project in this valley.
He is graduate Of the School of
Printing in Spokane and also took
a course in the School Of Journalism
at the University of Washington
Like all of the other heavy ma
chimes in the printshop, the linotype
will rest on concrete base, which
was made the first of the week.
The linotype will permit the Spokes-
man to set all of it's news matter at
home, as well as most of it's ads, and
will also be used in job work. For
the last four or five years the news
has been set in Spokane, Kennewick
and Richland. The face of type in
the news, as well as the heads will
be the same as that used by the
Christian Science Monitor, rated as
one of the outstanding newspapers in
the United States.
1t is hoped that the linotype will be
ready to go into operation next week.
With it's installation the equipment in
the Spokesman plant will be rather
complete and will compare favorably
with plants in much larger communi-
ties.
Mr.. Chase has rented the Anderson
cottage in the north part of town
until recently occupied by DR.. E. F.
Newton, and will move his family
here from Wenatchee in the near
future.

HANfORD WINS over
White BLUFFS, 8 TO |

Hanford won the ball game Sum
day by the rather lop-sided score Of
8 to 1. The result was largely a
question of the winners hitting when
hits counted, an infield that functioned
perfectly and rather classy brand
of pitching on the part of Herb
Cords. In addition they got the
breaks of the game, number of
their hits being just out of the reach
of the White Bluffs fielders.
On the other hand the White Bluffs
club had general off-day. They
could not hit consistently, the infield
was wobbly, being guilty of several
errors of ON ission as we'll as COM
mission and in addition they did not
get their usual good pitching.
Walker was in the box for White
Bluffs during the first five innings and
Joe Wagner worked the last four.
Both were off color and not up to
their usual form. &. UT.
Hanford scored three runs in the
first inning and was out in front all
the way.
On the form they displayed Sunday,
Hanford clearly outplayed White
Bluffs and were entitled to win but
the game as contest lost much Of its
interest to players as well as fans
by some questionable umpiring. It
seemed that White Bluffs was on the
short end of every close decision.
This tended to dishearten the boys
and during the last half of the game
they merely went through the mo-
tons without any spirit. For the
sake of the game it is hoped that this
may be corrected in all future con-
tests between the two clubs.
The scheduled game at White
Bluffs Sunday between White Bluffs
and Eianford has been postponed and
will be played later in the season. TN
