The farmers in the valley start
ed Monday cutting the second crop
of alfalfa, which is proving better
than the first cutting. The 8 Rivers
shipped six cars of potatoes Mon
day and Tuesday to markets in
Omaha and Minneapolis. This is
a comparatively new venture, as
spuds haven't been shipped into
this territory since 1923. The po-
tato crop this year is reported as
very good but prices are low. A
light apricot crop is being mar
keted from the valley.

NOT so HOT

Summer finally arrived. The
past week has been about normal
for this section. On the Fourth the
highest temperature registered was
SO. The 5th, 9Th, and 18th were not
so bad, but yesterday (Wednes-
day hit the high peak for the
past season so far, registering 80.
A cool night followed and while
today's temperature seemed a
great deal higher on account of
the change in the humidity, the
high spot this afternoon, by the
official government thermometer
was only sc. Other years have seen
the temperature well over the CEN
fury mark shortly following the
Fourth.

BASE BALL

Several hundred wildly jubilant
base ball fans from Kennewick
watched the Kolts romp away with
the long end of 5 to 0 score at
Pasco the Fourth. Both pitchers,
Dignon for Pasco and Record for
Kennewick pitched good ball with
Record having the best of the deal,
he letting the Pasco aggregation
down with a total Of three hits.
Kennewick punched their hits in
the critical spots, getting a run in
the first inning to start the game.
With one man on base in the 4th,
Warde Johnson drove a liner over
the center field fence and from
then on the game was in the bag
as far as Kennewick was concern

ONE ACCIDENT

Only one minor accident marred
the celebration on the Fourth. A
sedan and truck. crashed
at the intersection at the foot of
Washington street. Barbara Mon

juries, having her arm cut so as
to require eight stitches. Two
young boys were also somewhat
cut and one of them was knocked
unconscious for a period of about
an hour. Both cars were seriously
damaged.

How It Started
By JEAN NEWTON
"To Beat Hollow"

NNE of the most peculiar things
~ about language is its -quirks and
twists-the unpredictable turns it
takes.
Consider, for instance, the express
sion. ''To Beat Hollow" which we un-
derstand to beat thoroughly or wholly.
Perhaps by this time some of our
keen readers have already sensed what
we are driving at. We hasten to point
out the interesting fact that ito beat
hollow''-which, taken literally, would
be more or less impossible feat-is
simply corruption of 'to beat who'll
lly'-and having exactly the same
sense.
Just how it came to be so corrupted
nobody can say. 1t was probably a
chance development due to a mispro-
nunciation of the original word.
At any rate, by 1853, the present
phrase had received literary sanction
through its use by James Townley, in
his play "High Life Below Stairs"

1t wasn't so many years ago that
the majority of children in the United
States never had seen an airplane.
Now there is scarcely child who
doesn't know all about airplanes. but
do you realize that there are many
children who never have seen street
car? I didn't realize it, until some
one spoke of it. In many sections
buses have taken over the problem
of transportation; have become COM
mon carriers to the extent that even
the old street rails have crumbled to
red rust. There is, for example,
small town in Maryland where two
old-time street cars rest dusty and
lifeless in a decrepit barn. The chill
dren go to see them much as they
might go to see cannon used in the
Civil war. They call them "street
wagons"
Speaking of airplanes, my wife, Mr..
and Mrs. S. B. Kent of Port Washing
ton, and Dwight Morrow, Jr., of AM
herst college, who were recent pas
sengers on transcontinental plane,

being speeded up continually. For
example, we used to have four men
on the spinning frames, but now the

Now that we are on strike the boss
