KENNEWICK is
COMPLIMENTED
r. @. Macmahon Receives
Recognition by Scottish
Rite MaSOnS

Kennewick has again sustained
its reputation as an outstanding
Masonic town. The latest honor
to be received here is that receiv-
ed by R. @. Macmahon, who has
been awarded the honorary degree
Knight Commander of the Court
of Honor. This degree is award
ed as a recognition of outstanding
Masonic activity. His award is the
third to be granted to Kennewick
citizens. This honor is granted at
the Supreme Council at Washing
ton, D. C.
While long known as an ex-
ceptionally strong Massnic town,
it wasn't until the recent visit of
the Supreme Commander of the
Scottish Rite, J. H. Cowles, that
complete recognition was given as
to the status of the community.
Mr.. Cowles stated that Kenne-
wick was the smallest town in the
world to confer the 32nd degree; it
was the smallest town to boast an
active lodge of 18th degree Ma
sons and for its population had
the largest membership in the
fourteenth degree Lodge of Per-
lection.
Now Kennewick may assume
still another signal honor: 1t is
the smallest town in the world
Boosting three KOCH. members.
The other town Masons to receive
this distinguished honor are C. A.
Crawford and G. III. Shanafelt.
!. At the same session of the
Supreme Council in Washington,
three Seattle men and one from
Yakima were awarded the honor
ary 33rd degree.

H. S. TO HAVE
FENCED FIELD
FOR ATHLETICS
Student Body Votes Today to
Undertake Development of
Land for Sports and Re-
CURED Physical Training

The Associated Student Body of
the Kennewick high school this
afternoon voted unanimously to un-
dertake the construction of ply
steal education field. The action
was taken owing to requirement
which will be adopted starting
next year that all high school stu
dents, both boys and girls, take
two years of physical education
unless excused by a physician.
The field will be on the south
west corner of the property &C
quired by the district two years
ago, Immediately adjoining the
high school building. The plot will
be 42Ox4OO feet and will be en-
closed, leveled, irrigated and sod
ded. In addition to sufficient space
for the physical exercises there
will be room enough for base ball
doamond, football field, quarter
mile track, volley ball and horse
shoe courts.
Because the physical training
must be undertaken in study per-
iods, it has been found impossible
to go to and return from the low
er end of the park in time to per-
nit the classes to function. The
improvement of the land close to
the buildings therefore was sug-
gested and the student body is not
to exceed five hundred dollars.
1t is hoped to secure some flame
ing from the federal public works
fund as well as a portion of it
from the states relief fund. In any
event the student body is being
limited to liability not exceed
ing five hundred dollars which it
is hoped to repay by better collec-
lions from athletic events.
Boundary lines and grade stakes
have already been set and much of
the labor necessary to put the
field into shape will be undertaken
BY donation work, it is understood.

that something over 500 will be

While the committee in charge
of the relief work is well pleased
with the contributions made at the
show today, it calls attention to the
fact that there will be greater need
this year than ever before and pro-
ceeds from the show are merely a
start on what must be done to re-
lieve the situation locally this
winter. A survey of the situation
indicates that a much greater eff
fort will be required to handle the
situation this year on account of
The slack conditions prevailing this
summer and fall.
If there is anyone in the dis
trict who can contribute either
,ood or clothing to the cause the
committee asks that it be notified

every article may be made use of.

"J. R" KEYN0TES FOR YOUNG DEMOCRATS
FARMERS FIGHT TO SAVE HOMES OF NETCHBORS
Mortgages Are Being Fore closed But the Holders of These Mortgages Are Getting Little

Des Moines, In, Jan 25.-Despite the suggestion of Gov Clyde l.. Her. ring, farm mortgage foreclosures continued in Iowa to-day and three forced sales brought crowds of turner's to protect neighbors against threatened deficiency Judgments. Near Perry, Ia, about 1,500 farmers met at the home of George Rosand- CT, where $2,500 in equipment was sold to satisfy Q chattel mortgage. The farmers shouldered several bidders off the premises, and took up a collection to purchase wag- on after an "outsider" had insist ed on bidding. The goods were bid in for Rosander by his neighbors for a total of $45.05.
 At Glenwood, about 150 farmers were prepared to resist tax sale on q 250-acre farm belonging to Mux Lau, but did not interfere when bidder purchased the property for the full amount of claims against 1t.
 William Sternhagen of Dyersville was left only q meagre supply of grain and feed for his stock after @ chattel sale stripped the premises of most of the available machinery. Four hundred farmers attended the sale and bid literally in an effort to assist their negihbor. Corn sold for as high as 16.6 cents a bushel.
