Cigarette advertising, too, has its tricks.
Consider the illusion that "Flavor" can be
achieved by some kind of magical hocus-
pocus in manufacturing.
EXPLANATIONS: Just three factors control
the flavor of cigarette. The addition of arti-
fetal Aavoring. The blending of various to-
baccos. And the quality of the tobaccos them

It's fun to be fooled
it s more fun to KNOW

selves. Quality is by far the most important.
Domestic cigarette tobaccos vary in price
from 81 pound up to 4Of pound. Imported
tobaccos vary from 5Oe pound to $1.15.
No wonder, then, that cigarettes differ in
taste-since distinctive, pleasing flavor de-
pends so largely upon the blending of the COST
ier tobaccos.
II is q fact, we'll known by I00f
tobacco experts, that c0meIs
are made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE
+obaccos then any other popular brand.
Try Camels. Give your taste chance to sense
the subtle difference that lies in costlier to"
baccos difference that means all the
world in smoking pleasure ...i in pure, un'
alloyed satisfaction.

Fine Crop of Pears Is
Grown on Zerwekh Place

Visitors to the Priest Rapids valley
who wish to see what good soil, an
abundance of water and the climatic
advantages of this valley, coupled with
good farming, can accomplish should
visit the David Zerwekh ranch halfway
between Hanford and White Bluffs.
Two and one-half acres Of this tract
are planted to D'Anjou pears. From the
1872 trees Mr.. Zerwekh expects to har-
est about 1000 packed boxes. Some OF
the trees will produce forty or more
Tugs apiece. The trees are all well
pruned and there is very little vari-
alton in the sizes Of the pears.
Five acres Of the tract, are planted to
grapes, mostly Concords and Meltons.
From this vineyard Mr.. zerwekh US
ually harvests about 80 tons, but this
year it is expected that the crop will be
slightly less. The pride Of Mr.. Ter
wekh's crop is a bunch OF Black Ham
burgs eighteen inches long.
The water supply which helps tc
produce these fine crops comes from Q
well dug last spring. This well, only II
feet deep, supplies. head of watel
ample to irrigate his apples, pears ant
grapes as well as supplying water fol
his garden and domestic purposes

Knute Hill Visits
Constituents Here

Congressman Knute Hill of Prosser,
accompanied by his secretary, Mr..
Pierce, spent Monday in White Bluffs
ard Hanford, where he visited many
of his friends and conferred with those
who had matters to discuss with him.
Mr.. Hill is serving his first term in
Congress and is the first man from
Benton county to represent this district
in Congress. Prior to his election to
Congress last fall, Mr.. Hill spent sew
eral terms as representative in the
state legislature and has for long
time been active in Grange work. He
resigned as state lecturer Of the Grange
in order to make his campaign.
Mr.. FILL stated that he has received
many letters from his constituents anc
,, in order to talk matters over personally
with those interested, he is undertaking
tour of the Fourth Distric, which vii
occupy the months of September ane
October.
Following the conclusion Of his trip
Mr.. Hill will again visit this commun.
ity early in November.

Apple Packout Is
Now In Full Swing

The annual apple pack-out from
the Priest Rapids valley began this
week, with all warehouses getting
underway. Color picking Of Jonathans
began last week and has been carried
on steadily since, the first straight car
Of Jonathans being shipped from the
White Bluffs Warehouse Sunday.
The apple harvest this year is about
ten days later than normal, due to the
backward spring. The cooler nights and
bright, warm days recently are quickly
bringing the apples to maturity.
Indications are that apple prices
this season will bring the grower a
small profit. The early shipments OF
Jonathans are bringing about $1.15
to the grower for fancy or better. No
price has as yet been made on the
D'Anjou pear crop, first shipments OF
which are now being made.

August Shows Thirteen
Days Over 100 Degrees

Twenty-Five days of cloudless wealth
er with a maximum mean temperature
of 92.6 marked August as plenty
hot" month. The thermometers rise to
1903 on Wednesday, the 18th, marked
the hottest of the thirteen days OF
temperatures of 100 degrees or more.
A minimum temperature Of 81 was
reached on the 5th Of August.
According to the observations of
Gabriel Jadden Of Wahluke, this
August was much hotter than that Of
1882 when only four days Of 100 de-
grees or more were recorded. Total
precipitation was 90 of an inch.

Baby Pheasants Loosed
Here by Nick Palmer

Nick Palmer, State Game Protector
for this area, was in White Bluffs to-
day, Thursday for the purpose Of
liberating several punches Of young
Chinese Pheasants.
There were about thirty birds in the
two punches, and were released on the
Hanford ranch. Mr.. Palmer states that
the shipment Of birds to this county
was about two months later this year
than usual, and as a result, they will
not be large enough for shooting this
fall. Approximately three hundred
birds have been released over the entire
county this season. The birds come
from the Walla Walla game farm.
Indications are, Mr.. Palmer said, that
there will be small number Of phea-
sents in the county this fall. Last
spring the pheasants were quite num-
erous, but for some reason not many
young ones Matched.

Daily Train Now
On New Schedule

The Observation-Disclosures. Paul and
Pacific railroad has inaugurated'a new
daily service for the Priest Rapids val
ley which started last Monday. It Will
probably continue through the fruit
season.
The new schedule brings the train
into White Bluffs at 1920 Pm. 1t
leaves for Hanford at 1850. On the
return trip the train makes White
Bluffs at 2:2O and leaves at ESQ. This
will provide adequate facilities for
handling the apples and late pears
moving out of the valley.

Power Dam at Beverly
Is Asked by Kowalsky


The adjustment of every chimney
In Yakima, Benton, Franklin and
Walla Walla counties is the objective OF
plan now being worked upon. The
plan involves the building of a dam IN
the Columbia river at Beverly for the
generation of power, says the Kenne-
wick Courier Reporter. The cost, esti-
mated at six million dollars-a tenth Of
the cost of the Coulee project-will be
so small that not pound Of coal or
stick of wood would ever be needed for
fuel again in this area.
The plan is being sponsored by DR..
j. j. Kowalsky and associates. 1t is
reported to have received the endorse
ment of engineers and builders and is
entirely feasible, according to DR..
Kowalsky.
Kowalsky reports that his plan has
not met with great success In official
circles, however Senator Dill. he says,
has pooh-poohed the idea, saying that
the Coulee project was underway and
could not be sidetracked. President
Roosevelt replied that the matter would
be turned over to the washington COM
mission, which is committed to the
Coulee project Representative Hill, ne
says, thinks it is misrepresented anc
cannot work.
Power, cheap power and abundance
of power lying unused at our very door:
has aroused the imagination of the
public and DR.. Kowalsky is of thu
opinion that under the new state law
1t can be cheaply and efficiently pro-
duced. He is continuing his investiga
lions into the plan and hopes to b.
able to greatly aid irrigation projects
throughout the valley as well. Will
modern efficient pumps and cheal
power, long distribution canals will be
come obsolete and farmers will be abb
to water their lands cheaper and NOR
efficiently than when canalized.

Experiments with Sudan
Grass Very Promising

The following article taken from the
u. S. D. A. Clip Sheet will undoubtedly
be Of some interest to growers Of Sudan
Grass in this general area. The name
Sudan has undoubtedly been given to
the grass because Of it's original home.
It is grass which is gaining In popu-
larity in this section
Sudan grass, introduced into the
United States from Africa in 1909 by
the Department of Agriculture as
johnson grass without rootstocks,"
won immediate favor as a summer pas
ture and hay crop. It has been particu-
1arly valuable in Kansas, where the
State Experiment Station reports that
it is the best summer pasture crop
known for that State and many far
mers have found the hay very salts
factory forage for work stock during
hot weather.
This grass grows rapidly and thrives
in the hot, dry months when other pas
lures are least productive. Tests by the
Kansas Station show that Sudan grass
will carry from to times as many
animals per acre as the native grasses.
More than 100000 acres in Kansas are
planted to Sudan grass annually.
| The grass found it's way to this
country through the efforts Of DR.. @. v.
Piper, of the United States Department
of Agriculture Realizing the need for q
grass similar to johnson grass, but
without rootstocks which make 1t so
difficult to eradicate DR.. Piper wrote to
botanists in many parts Of the world
asking them to send him seed Of all
grasses similar to Johnson grass
The first package of Sudan grass
seed, labeled "garawi," contained 8
ounces and was sent by the director OF
agriculture for the Sudan Government
The seed was planted in Texas the
first year and was then sent to State
Experiment Stations for trial.
It was an immediate success. It grew
well over most of the country but its
value for grazing was most apparent in
Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. These
States are now the leaders in the plant
ing of Sudan grass, although its use
increasing throughout the country.
Sudan grass is an annual hay plant
belonging to the sorghum family. i
has slender stems and grows from 4 tx
> 6 feet high. 1t is native to the Sudan
region of Africa just south of Egypt
where the rainfall is low. This fac
accounts for it's great popularity in tn
Southern Great Plains region, Wher'
the summers are hot and dry.

ALL-ANER|CAN
STARS NAMED
BY JACK CUDDY

united Press starr correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. %. - The re-
turn of American track and field
supremacy to the Atlantic seaboard
and the unprecedented award of
three positions to Leo Sexton of
New York, are highlights of the
All-American track and field team
announced by Daniel j. Ferris, Sec
retary- of the Amateur
Athletic union.
Ferris annual team, published
in Spalding's Athletic almanac,
gives II of the teams 35 positions
to eastern athletes, while the Pa
cific coast, which for years seemed
the center of the nations athletic
greatness, received only five places.
Ten went to the middle west, and
three to the south.
Ferris, when questioned about
his selections, said. "the showing
made by eastern athletes in 1882
was comparatively the strongest in
about 20 years"
Referring to Sexton, the New
York Athletic clubs husky weight
individual had been given three
places on the team. The Olympic
shotput champion and holder OF
the indoor and outdoor world rec
ords in that event was awarded
the positions for the 16-pound shot
put, and the 35 and Sc pound
weight heaves.
+, Another feature of the selections
was the choice of big Ben" East
man of Stanford university fol
the $50 yard post. Every man or
the team, except Eastman, is eth.
er a national champion or al
Olympic place winner in the even
for which he was picked.
Ferris explained he regards East
man as the country's best half
miller. He said it was a mistake b,
Eastman's handlers in entering hin
in the Olympic 400-meter even
when he should have had a cracl
at the 800-meter title, which wa
won by Tom HampSon of England
world record holder.
TOlan Named Twice
! Eddie Tolan of Detroit, doubl
winner in the Olympic sprints, wa
named for the 100 and 200 meter,
However, Ralph Metcalfe of Mar
quette university, Milwaukee, ma
tional champion at 100 and 20
meters, was given the 100 yaro
|, place. Ferris said this was becaus
of Metcalfe's brilliant Olympic per
formance in the 100 meters fins
when he ran a dead heat wit
Tolan, although the judges aware
ed the victory to the latter.

PACHO HEADS
FRIDAY CARD

Bobby Pacho, former California
lightweight champion, and recog-
nized as one of the outstanding
leightweights in the west, will head
the boxing card at the local arena
Friday night, with Young Corpus
of Manila as his opponent.
Pacho, valley favorite, who got
his boxing start here, recently re-
turned from series of fights at
Madison Square Garden only tc
run into grief when he suffered a
kayo from Young Jackson, Cali
fornia champion, in the last few
seconds of a great 10 round fight
at the Olympic club, Los Angeles.
Jackson has since side-stepped
all efforts to sign him up for a
return fight with Pacho, having
had plenty, evidently, in his last
session.
Pacho and his manager Bert
Morse, jumped at the opportunity
to come down to the evlley, both
being appreciative of the oppor-
tunity which valley fans gave them
when Pacho was fighting here reg
ularly.
Corpus, youngster from Man
lila, is reputed to have a hefty
punch and is considered capable
of giving Pacho plenty of battle.
The weeks card will have dou-
BILE main event, Star Frisco and
Ernie Jurado being booked for the
other half.
Fans who saw Frisco beat Young
Austin here a few weeks ago know
that he can fight like a wildcat,
but he will need all of his fighting
against Jurado, who last week beat
Baby Pal Moore, the boy who de-
feated Frisco about month ago.
Jurado is rated as another Mexican
Conner, who is going to be heard
from in coast flyweight circles.
Babe Manila, who was seen on
the first card here, will take on
Alfred Austin of Brawley. Carlos
Chipris of San Diego, will meet
Archie Grant of Los Angeles in the
opener. These boys stole the fight
in Los Angeles a couple of weeks
ago and fans are assured plenty
of fireworks when they meet.
