Fireworks Blow Up
i'm Parked Sedan

In some accountable manner a
supply of fire crackers and fire
works ignited in the Frank Lamp
son car while parked on Kenne-
wick Avenue this afternoon. Mrs.
Lampson had only left her car a
few moments before the first re-
port of the exploding fireworks
startled many who happened to be
in the immediate vicinity. Prompt
action on the part of o. S. Carey
and Harold Robertson, who arriv-
ed on hanad within a split second
with fire extinguishers after the
conflagation started and saved the
car from serious damage. Mrs,

SPEED FIENDS
PUT BOATS IN
WATER RACES
Thrills and Spills Aplenty in
View for Fourth of July
Regatta; Famous Drivers
Coming

Plans have neared completion
for the cupboard motor boat rae
ing regetta that is to be staged
here July A at the mouth of the
Snake river. o. S. Carey and j. c.
Pratt, who with the aid of the 10
cal Chamber of Commerce, have
been formulating plans, reported
that the number of entrants has
rapidly been increasing, and many
of the drivers who signified their
intentions of entering are among
the most prominent and fastest in
the Northwest. Among them are:
Joe Pedicord, Spokane; Lawrence
Rickert, Spokane, who already
holds many prizes and a reputa-
ton for thrills, Fred Lenzi, Spo-
kane, Lyle Potter Pendleton, and
Harold O'Neil of Wenatchee. Some
of the boat owners have said they
will bring more than one compel
ing craft to the event. Others from
Seattle and Boise will likely en-
ter.
The attraction promises to be
packed with thrills from start to
finish, with many spills for un-
fortunate helmsmen as they vie
with one another for key positions.
With development of high speed
cupboard motors the sport has be-
come one of the most fascinating
in the country, making it possible
to drive light hulls through waves
at clip close to a mile a minute,
feat that was thot almost impos-
sible few years ago.
In addition to the races there
will be surfboard riding and other
aquatic sports which will keep the
fans on their toes turnout the
time it will take to run off the two
heats.
Those who want a ride in the
new type boats will be afforded
the opportunity, Carey said.
The first run will be made 1T
one o'clock in the afternoon, and
the second and final heat will be
run off Immediately after.

Gun Stops Niger
at Cash Register

Ted Flesher, who operates the
Town Pump, had hair-raising
experience on Thursday morning
early when a transient negro was
said to have attempted to loot his
cash drawer while he was talking
with friend on the street corn
er.
According to Flesher he heard
the bell ring on his cash register
and saw the negro as he was draw
ing open the money drawer, but
before he could get at the money
Flesher dashed into the station,
grabbed a large calibre revolver
and poked it into the mans mid
riff, ordering him to leave.
Chief of Police III. Fl. DeHaven
and Highway Patrolman Marvin
Canadian gave the suspect notice
to leave town Immediately, and es-
corted him to the city limits.

NEED HELP ON
RELIEF WORK
THIS SUMMER
Club Leader Asks Commun-
ity to Aid in Plans for Pro-
viding Supplies for Winter
Use

Considerable effort is to be put
forth to enable families who may
need help next winter to can sup
ply of fruit and vegetables now.
This work will be done under the
direction of Mary A. Davis, coun-
ty club leader.
Jars are needed. If you have
disable quart or two quart jars in
your cellar which you will not be
using, won't you please call Mrs.
Davis at 3151? She will be glad
to call for them if it is not possible
for you to bring them to the
Chamber of Commerce rooms.
Fruit and vegetables are need
ed. If you have any which you can
neithor use nor sell, won't you re-
port this by calling 1851. Of
course this produce must be in
fairly good condition. Arrange
ments will be made to have those
needing the produce go after and
gather it.
Cars are needed. Some people
are willing to can but are unable
to buy even the days need of fruit
or vegetables or to go after them
where they may be had for the
gathering. If you are willing to
drive your car for a day or half
day out of the week so that those
needing produce may get it, won't
you please call 1851.
This seems to be workable
plan for helping people to help
themselves, but it cannot be exc
cuted without the cooperation
from those who are able to give it.
Much produce is going to waste
now and next winter children will
be improperly fed for lack of it.
Mrs. Davis will supervise as
much of this canning as possible
so that it will be properly done.
Remember, we need jars, fruit
vegetables and cars. Cab 1851.

Raise in Price of
Gas inks Dealers, Too

Much criticism is being express
ed by both gasoline consumers
and some Of the dealers over the
recent raise of 2 1-2 cents gallon
which now brings the retail price
to % 1-2 cents. Many Of the con-
sumers have said they thought the
raise to be too much in view of
the already heavy tax burden the
commodity now carries, and the
present economic situation.
Dealers have said that at this
time when the cropping season us
ually brings the gasoline consump-
ton to higher level, they have
found the new price schedule to
have reduced their sales as much
as Is percent.
The raise which has been gener-
al thruout the country has also
brot a storm of protest from 9TH
er regions.

DRIVE STARTS
SATURDAY; ALL
GIRLS TO WIN
Courier Reporter Campaign
Lasts Three Weeks; Every
Candidate Will Receive
Worthwhile Prize

The Kennewick Courier Re-
porter's big subscription cam
paign, in which 16 valuable prizes
viii be awarded to 10 young wo-
men of this territory, will offic-
tally open this Saturday, the cam
paign manager announced today.
The list Of prizes for this drive
which has already attracted coun-
try-wide attention, appears in a
large advertisement elsewhere in
today's Courier-Reporter.
But cold type, candidates agree,
cannot do justice to prizes as fine
as those being offered in this sub
scription campaign. Young ladies
who have not yet seen the beauti-
full prizes-on display in the win
dows of the Behrman Jewelry
store, 113 1-2 Kennewick Avenue,
Kennewick-are urged to do so
Immediately. Hundreds have mar
yelled at prizes Of such outstand-
ing values for such a short cam
paign.
The campaign is exceptionally
short-it lasts but 10 short work
ing days and ends Saturday, July
%.
Aspirants are asked to look over
the list of prizes-then to see
them in the windows of the Behr-
man Jewelry store-in order to
realize what wonderful pay can be
made by just using ones spare
time for the next 10 days.
In addition to guaranteeing
prize to every active candidate
and of giving subscribers the OPP
portunity to support their favor
ites-The Courier Reporter has ar
ranged the distribution of the three
diamond rings so at least one dia-
mond must go to some one living
in Kennewick and at least one
must go to some candidate living
outside the city limits of Kenne-
wick. In this way the campaign
will be a real prize winning offer
to every candidate, regardless Of
what part of Benton county she
lives.
There are 16 prizes and only 16
candidates will be allowed to par
ticipate. Every active candidate is
guaranteed one of the big prizes.
! A participant cannot lose; the
size of a girls prize will depend
solely on herself and how ably she
devotes her spare time the next
10 days.
Every prize is guaranteed to be
exactly as advertised and will
stand the fullest inspection by any
person interested.
The campaign will be out in the
open and there will be well known
local bushes men to act as the adj
visory board of judges Of the cam
paign. The personnel Of the adj
visory board Of judges is:
A. C. Anon, mayor Of the City
of Kennewick; E. C. Durdle, coun-
ty agent; George Tilbury, Presi-
dent of the Kennewick Chamber Of
Commerce; and Warren C. Hodge,
superintendent Of the Kennewick
schools; George ID. Peters Secre-
tary of the Chamber Of Commerce.
snake your start today by or
ganizing your campaign" the cam
paign manager urged. eve will
warrant that If you enter this cam
paign you will not regret it on the
last day"
A nomination coupon for those
who desire to enter the campaign
or for those who wish to nominate
friend, may be had at The Cour-
Ter Reporter office. The campaign
will run only 10 working days. 1t
