WILL TRY TO
CAN BERRIES
Local Plants Experiment with
Processing to Save Big
Berry Crop

In an effort to do something to
save the local strawberry crop, ex-
periments are being conducted at the
Kennewick Custom cannery today in
regard to preserving them. just what
can be done along this line has not
yet been determined, but it is hoped
that some way of handling the large
crop can be figured out.
Quite by accident, it was learned
that there was considerable sale for
strawberry jams and preserves avail
able here in Kennewick. One of the
local stores reported that several
cases of berries put up last year by
the Walla Walla cannery had been
distributed here and that he knew of
q sale of several thousand cases of
the same product.
With such a start, it was hoped to
work out an advance sale for such OF
the product as could be processed
this year in the local establishment.
The strawberry code is off, so far
as this district is concerned, for this
year, according to a report made this
week by Fl. G. Hawkins, code admin
tstration manager. When the price
dropped below the cost of production
the code was suspended, altho it is
hoped to revive it next year in time
to have the entire state organized.

FIVE MILLION
RED POPPIES
TO BE WORN
Disabled Soldiers Make Me-
mentOes of Fallen Com
rades; Proceeds of Sale to
Go to Veterans

Five million paper peoples to honor
their fallen comrades have now been
completed by disabled veterans of the
World War, according to Leila Hatch,
memorial poppy chairman of Robert
W. Ely unit of the American Legion
Auxiliary. The disabled veterans,
working in So hospitals and work
rooms in 40 states, are expected to
complete another five million of the
little red flowers before May 26, when
peoples will be worn throughout the
country in Americas annual tribute
to its war dead.
Manufacture of the peoples is CIV
ing employment to hundreds of vet
Grams unable to do other work. The
employment is restricted to veterans
receiving little or no government
compensation and those with depend
ent families are given preference. In
addition to providing earnings for
the support of themselves and FAM
lilies, the poppy-making is of decided
physical and mental benefit to the
disabled men.
The peoples which will be worn in
this city on May 26 have been ordered
and received by the local auxiliary
from the Walla Walla hospital. Plans
for q city-wide distribution of the
flowers are being developed by the
auxiliary under the direction of Leila
Hatch, poppy chairman.

Ask the ladies something easy. The
several hundred of them who attend

evening and Saturday afternoon,
learned the very latest wrinkles in
preparing delectable food for human

various new short cuts to economy in

Mrs. Isabel Franklin, well-known
economist, proved to be a charming
and thoroughly efficient instructor
and the audiences that for the three

4 TO BE GUESTS
OF LIBERTY AT
2-BILL SHOW
Subscribers Names Rate
Passes at Liberty Pro-
gramThis Saturday; Show
Not Put on by Stores

This Saturday the Kennewick Lib
erty theatre is to open with another
splendid double feature. The show
is not to be merchants day affair,
and the regular 25c admission is to
be charged for the one days showing,
which starts at 2 pm.
The names of two people from the
subscription list Of the Courier Re-
porter were chosen at random, and
are tucked away in small type some-
where in the theatre ad appearing in
this paper The persons whose names
appearing will be given passes for
themselves and one guest when they
identify themselves at the theatre
box office along with that portion Of
the theatre ad.
Although some splendid programs
have been brought to Kennewick this
year, the shows booked for this week
far surpass anything shown here for
a long time, Don Visger advises.
Flying Down to Rio" which is the
screens most spectacular musical, is
truly too big to be staged on the
earth, so is staged in the skies with
hundreds of beautiful girls singing
and dancing on the wings Of huge
seaplanes. It has all the new dance
hits and melodies which have taken
America like "Grant took Richmond"
and in it you will see the famous Bra
lillian dance "the Carioca" which
everyone has raved about.
The second feature, Ever Since
Eve" is a truly hilarious romance,
true to it's name, and shows how hard
the proverbial woman haters can
fall. Girls, if the boy friend keeps on
saying ssno" have him take you to see
this program.

FIRE CAUSES
LOSS OF HOME
Shoemaker Residence East
Of Town Totally C0nsum-
ed by Blaze; No One Home
at Time; Will Rebuild

Fire completely destroyed the Har-
ry Shoemaker home east of town last
evening. It was a spectacular affair
and was witnessed by nearly every
body in town.
The fire had gained considerable
Roadway before the alarm was given
and the fire department started off
for the Highlands, apparently headed
for the Charles Shoemaker home.
When they did arrive, however, it was
discovered that there were no hyd-
rants near enough to be effective and
the pumper was finally started at q
well. By that time, the building was
almost completely destroyed.
Mrs. Shoemaker was in Walla Wal
la for the day and had not returned.
Mr.. Shoemaker had started his Flamo
stove previously to coming to town.
It is thought that the fire originated
in some manner from the water heat
er he had left burning.
A few articles Of furniture, daven-
port, radio, and few other articles,
were saved from the flames, which
also burned the milk house and sever
al Of the nearby trees.
A small amount of insurance was
carried on the building and furniture.
Mr.. Shoemaker plans to rebuild as
soon as the insurance settlement has
been made.
