CELEBRATE ON
JULY FOURTH
Big Community Picnic to be
Held in Park, with Race
Program, Band Concert and
Ball Game to Entertain


Pyrotechnics and parades are out

A community picnic, band con-
cert, races and contests for the
kids, ball game and dance for their
elders, are being planned for the
day.
A committee composed of repre-
sentatives from the various organ
izations in town will meet Monday
night at the Chamber of Com
merce rooms and try to work out
suitable program for the day at
a cost which we who are sharing
in the democratic prosperity may
be able to finance.
Possibility of being able to Sc
cure the White Bluffs band for the
day is one of the features which
the committee is counting upon to
make the day enjoyable.
A program of sports, swimming
and various contests will be ar
ranged with suitable prizes donat-
ed by the business men is to be
worked out.
As has been the custom in years
past, the big ball game of the sea-
son is to be pulled off between the
traditional rivals-Pasco and Ken
newick.
Dances here, there and every
where will wind up the day.
But fireworks, other than verb
al, are out.

FEAR COLUMBIA
WILLOVERFLOW
IT'S BOUNDARIES
Mountain Shows Melt Under
Hot Spell and River Again
Rises to High Mark: Low
Lands Flooded

The Columbia river has resum-
ed it's rapid rise and has again
crossed past its high mark Of a
week ago, after the waters we're
allowed short rest from their
hurried raise and fell a few inches
during short cool spell the latter
part of the past week.
A raise of seven inches was re-
corded here in the past day, and
with a gradual increase during the
first of the hot spell this week, the
stream is now about five inches
above its high of a week ago.
Great amounts of drift wood
were coming down stream today,
and reports from up country stat
ed that the Yakima, Naches and
other streams tributary to the Col
umbia were raising rapidly as the
melting of SHOWS in the mountains
was quickened by warmer wealth
er. Old timers are still doubtful if
the mightiest river in the West
will remain within its high water
banks here, and now fear that with
the continued warm weather it will
surely cross farm lands.
Waters at several points are still
covering farm lands at extreme
low points, while the Clay Belle
flats near Richland represent q
lower Mississippi flood scene, as
only fence posts and tree tops are
visible in the flats bordering be-
tween the highway and the Yaki-
ma river.

CHERRY CROP
Is EXCEEDING
EXPECTATIONS
Finest Crop in Years in Both
Quantity and Quality; Ber-
ries Make Poor Showing
Spuds Come On

The crop for which the Kenne-
wick district has become most not
ed in years past, strawberries,
was almost total failure this
year, both from a production
standpoint and from returns re-
ceived. Estimates from shippers
Of the crop which saw its end this
week placed the tonnage at about
fifteen percent Of a normal yield.
The severe spells in the winter,
coming when the ground was bare
Of q protecting covering Of snow,
proved disastrous to the berry
plants, large percentage having
been killed. The outlook for the
coming year in the berries is
somewhat brighter, for many new
patches are being started this
summer, and perhaps Kennewick
may again become noted for the
quality and tonnage of its straw
berries.
Cherries and new potatoes are
the next on the list Of the Kenne-
wick cash crops. Both Of these
products are now making an ap-
pearance on the markets and the
harvests will be in full swing, by
the middle Of next week. Some
cherries have already been ship
ped the earlier varieties, while
the Bings will begin to come in
commercial quantities Monday or
Tuesday of next week. The wealth
er has been almost perfect for the
ripening, according to reports, and
the next few days should see a
deepening in the color and an ex-
pansion in size. Price outlook
is somewhat better for cherries
than for the other crops, although
not up to Kennewick's usual aver
age for this fruit.
New spuds are beginning to roll
Ia carlot having been shipped
last night. Considerable acreage
has been put into early spuds this
year and an unusual tonnage is
expected.

Leo Has a Goat
He Ks1osCs His Wattage
But Not the Beastie

Leo has q goat. Leo also has
some ingenuity, smattering
knowledge of electricity and ply
sizes and thereby hangs this tale.
Leo Gorris, learning of the won
derful qualities of goats milk, ac-
quired one. Now, it is commonly
understood that goats give milk
you have to take it. Leo tried and
tried and tried. Give was not the
word and SO far as Leo was con-
cerned take was not the proper one
either. On his knees he fused and
fumed and no goats milk was his
reward. He remembered that pres
sure on q water system was in
creased by adding height, so Leo
tied couple of ladders together
with a platform large enough for
the goat to stand on, led the poor
beastie UP the slanting steps and
secured her. Reaching upward, Leo
tried again and again. He knew his
wattage but not his goat. Unavail-
ing were all his efforts aud both
he and the goat became hot and
bothered. Miss Withers, she of vast
experience and knowledge Of var
ious parts of the world, watching
Leo's antics from an upper vim
Leo's antics offered a few pointed
instructions. The long desired re-
suit was Immediately obtained, tho
Leo still feels that it was the add
ed amperage which brough. the
desired result.

The general public scarcely
,ealizes that during the last year
me twin cities housed no less than
air musical organizations each OF
which consisted of 20 to 80 or
more members. Aside from these
there are a number of smaller
groups to say nothing of the
large number of individuals who
play or have played but belong to
no organization.
With the members of these var
ious organizations as a nucleus,
mixed with little community
spirit on the part of the general
public and those who can play, add
= little tolerance, spice with a lit
tie pride in music accomplishment
and you have the beginning of a
large and excellent musical organ
ization.
Certainly only a select few would
be able to play the choice selec-
tons from the masters - these
could be used as occasional special
numbers. But nowhere is the mas
ter SO in sympathy with the novice
as among true musicians. To them
it is not a matter of stepping down
from the heights of their own
world to play something less pre-
tentious than that to which they
have been accustomed, but rather
turning from the appreciation Of
Z few Easter Lilies to the enjoy
ment of a group of Lilies of the
Valley.
There are vast quantities of
music within the range of the
novice which are ever beautiful to
the master. By careful selection it
Is possible to choose a series of
programs which will be beneficial
and interesting to everyone.
Whether the old fiddle has been
stored away for the last 20 years
and the fingers have become stiff
from lack of use, or you have just
returned from the concert stage,
or you have never been in an or
chestra or band in your life or you
have only had your clarinet for q
short time, be at the high school
music room with your instrument
on Friday evening at 7:3O.
The meeting will be in the frame
building back of the Kennewick
nigh school. There should be no
less than 200 there. Should this
room be too small, the meeting
VIII be held next door in the high
school gymnasium.
with everyone, pupil, teacher,
vl,uoso and novice getting to-
sether right now there is plenty
o. time to build an excellent out

GAIN
IS SLOWING DOWN
Agricultural Economist Holds
Factor Should Be Studied
by Business.

The slowing down Of population
growth Is not a major factor IN the
present economic depression. but 1t Is
factor Of increasing importance and
should have primary consideration IN
all plans and policies relating to the
utilization of land, according to Dr..
o. E. Baker Of the Bureau Of Agricul-
tural Economics, Department Of Agri-
culture.
Prospect Of a stationary national
population at approximately $50, 600 600
people after the year 1860, followed by
decline, he declares, demands con-
sideration by all business concerns. es-
pecially the real estate field. During
100000 more people In the United
States to be housed, clothed, fed, and
entertained" he says. Population
growth, he points out, is the principal
factor to be considered In studying
the outlook for consumption OF farm
products, and many manufactured
products, in the near future.
Dr.. Bakers forecast Of cessation OF
population growth by the year 1860,
and Of population decline after 1910. Is
predicated on q continuing downward
trend in the birth rate for a few years
and the maintenance Of present immi-
grafton restrictions. Should the trend
Of the birth rate be reversed. or should
the immigration bars be let down. OF
course, this forecast would not apply.
the Nation as whole can be expected
with considerable assurance. but there
is less assurance as to population
growth in cities" DR.. Baker says.
Whereas In the last 10 years there was
an increase of nearly is, 900 900 persons
in the population Of the cities out Of
the 100000 gain in the entire Ma
tion, in the next 10 years the increase
in cities may not be half as large, p 4
even should 1t be half as large, L !.
than half Of the increase will be ef-
fected through migration from farms.
During 1882, when the migration
from farms to cities was greatly reduced
and the migration from the cities to
rural areas increased. there was little.
if any, increase in the population Of the
cities. The increase In urban popula-
ton between 1910 and 1850, It Is ex-
pected, will be still smaller than that
from 1880 to 1910, and stationary
population, not only in the cities but
also in the entire Nation seems likely
by the year 1860, unless the restrictions
on immigration are relaxed" The
decline in the birth rate, according to
DR.. Baker, has been far more rapid in
the cities than on farms.
Ten years ago there were about
enough children in the large cities to
maintain the population Of those cities
permanently stationary without acces-
sions from outside, but today there is
about a IS per cent deficit In cities
under 1000 population there is a 10
to Is per cent deficit in number Of
children necessary to maintain q sta
tionary population but in village pop
ulations there is a rs per cent surplus
Of children, and in the farm population
so per cent surplus Of children
above the number necessary to main
tain the farm population stationary"

BALTIMORE, March 11.-Building
material dealers are attempting to

ment Of Philip S. Morgan, president Of

The bill provides for a fine Of 81 900

gagors, contractors or subcontractorS
who fail to pay in full or pro rata for

projects within 80 days after receipt of

Mr.. Morgan said. "It apparently has
not occurred to material dealers that
If they would quit giving credit to un-

Ten years Of public works construc-

icafa cities and the creation Of new and

as q necessary consequence OF the de-
preston, in q report to the American
Institute Of Architects on social PLAN
ming by Robert D. Kohn Of New York,
past president Of the. institute.
This work will be conducted on .
scale never before realized" Mr.. Kohn
predicts, according to the report. He
explains that investments can no
longer be made with safety on individ-
ual buildings, without consideration for
the future Of the neighborhood, and
that planning, as result, must come
into the worlds affairs"
Urging American architects to forget
the old big business" leaders Of the
country, Mr. Kohn points out that So
struction.
"Tne era Of unthinking speculative
DEVELOPMENT has received such . blow
that It cannot come back-at least not
in its old FORM" he asserts. "Out Of
this disturbance some order Is bound
to come, and that order Is In the max
ing now"
4 period Of change for the better, "
instead Of . return to the 1927 basis,
will create . demand for social plan
ming, according to Mr.. Kohn. He adds
that this function Is only an enlarge
ment Of the process employment by an
architect In designing . house for q
particular family.
II hope construction viii be organ
lied on the basis Of long-term national
planning, 50 that 1t may give SELF
respecting work to the unemployed" he
says. IT hope it will be developed 50
as to teach us how to attack the other
economic peoblems Of production and
distribution with which We are faced.
1.-THE future Is up to the planners. Of
that I am firmly convinced. The same
basic technique that we are trained to
use In our little problems must be ap-
piled eventually to the problems Of
production in every field.
Public works offers . great oppor-
tunity now for the beginning Of An ex-
pertinent In such Nation wide plan
ming. BY public works I mean that
large and comprehensive service which
Is Intended to provide to the greatest
possible extent the amenities Of living
to the people.
"The process Of development can
only be gradual. There is no approach
to it which offers 50 excellent . micro
cosm Of the larger problem IS does the
study Of the shelter Of the individual
family in its relation to the community
and the community to the city or State.
while many techniques will have to
contribute to the larger planning. the
engineers and the architects have the
training and the experience that Is
particularly applicable. It is my belief
that architects have unique contri-
button to make to the process which
gives them both the privilege and the
obligation for leadership.
Architects do not look upon their
planning merely Is . scientific process.
Their problems have to be solved. but in
their solution Is required . deliberate
choice Of means plus human under
standing. Architects have 1t bred IN
them that not only science but vision
is needed to plan anything"

said, proved to be of benefit to both
employers and workers.
1T was a pleasure to help these un-
fortunate men to help themselves" hi
said. There was never a complaint
about wages. Men were started at pre-
war wage scales, plus 40 per cent te
cover increased cost of living.
There were many more applicants
for work than there were jobs. We
endeavored to give the work to the
most needy. With few exceptions, the
jobs were given to those having three
Or more dependents and who had been
