SHEEP BRING

Benton County Ranks Second
in Production in this State;
Ayers Says Opposition is
MiSinfOrmed

"The sheep industry of the North
west brings to the district, normal
ly, about $75,90O,000 every year."
said j. r. Ayers this"noon in a talk
about his business to the chamber
of commerce. 'This is one of the
most important phases of business
in our country and assumes new
proportions when it is discovered
that one-fifth of the sheep indus
try of the nation is centered here"
he said.
A curtailment of grazing lands in
federal reserves is being urged by
several groups, Mr.. Ayers said. Most
of the opposition, he thinks, comes
from the fact that most of the peo-
pie are not informed, although some
of it is malicious. -
This particular district profits
largely from the sheep business of
the state, Mr.. Ayers says, because
Benton county ranks second in the
state, and all the sheep owned in
this county are assessed here, add
ing greatly to the assets of the dis
frict r. a

SUES
CARNIVAL co.
Local Organization Seeks to
Get $3.50 Margin From
Operations

Along in the summer a carnival
troop came along and succeeded in
getting the Legion to sponsor its
appearance here. A contract was
signed whereby the Legion was to
get $500 and furnish lot, license and
lights. These were estimated TO
amount to about $50. Later the car
nival got better rates in Pasco and
the show was opened there.
The local Legion felt it had been
slickered out Of $3.50 SO a restrain
ing order was attached to some Of
the show equipment. The carnival
put up bond to have It released
and this week the matter was brot
up in court in Franklin county.
While the case was taken under adj
visement, it is felt by DR.. Stone, who
was commandment at the time, that
a judgment would be rendered
against the carnival and the legion
would be $3.50 to the good-and no
money taken out of town by the
transaction.

ON POWER CASE
Attorneys Argue Three Hours

After three hours of argument on
the constitutionality of the Benton
county utility district, Judge Arthur

presided in Benton county superior
court last Thursday, took under adj

Roger Of Prosser and j. r. Ayers of
Kennewick are seeking to enjoin
the utility district from functioninq
Attorneys were instructed to pre-

OCEAN BOATS TO
COME. FAR UP
THE COLUMBIA
Sea Port to BE $50 Miles
Nearer Valley by Improve
ment of River; Kemp Re-
Iates Opinions

Recent development of river
transportation will bring a seaport
about a hundred and fifty miles
nearer to Kennewick, according to
report given at the chamber Of
commerce luncheon this noon by
State Representative Fred u. Kemp
Of ProSSer, who was q guest.
Mr.. Kemp attended the recent
meeting OF the Mid-Columbia
chamber OF commerce, where the
principal business was the further
ing Of the plans for the developing
of river transportation as far as
The DalleS. From this point, Mr..
Kemp reported, the extension Of
highways to the surrounding terri
tory were TO be pushed as rapidly as
possible.
Form Big Lake
The Dalles, Mr.. Kemp pointed
out, would be at the head Of the
long lake to be formed upon the
completion Of the Bonneville dam,
where locks Of sufficient size to ac-
comodate Seagoing vessels were to
be installed. Overland freight
rates TO The Dalles from the Yak
ina valley would be considerably
present terminal for water ship
ments, and should result in an in
crease Of business Of all kinds for
this section.
A contract for the construction Of
a Seven-foot channel from The
Dalles to Umatilla has already been
let, according to reports, and GER
tain types Of river boats will be en-
abled to still further reduce trans
portation costs on seagoing freight
and other commodities.
Against Code
Mr.. Kempe explained his position
in regard to the recent suggestion
for the formation Of q state high
way code. He said he opposed the
plan on the principal that it would
be folly to relinquish the portion Of
the state highway money which now
accrues to the county for a prob
lematical amount which might or
might not be allocated to the dis
trict in the future.
He said that the present system
Of handling the relief money was
not the best, in his opinion, but that
as temporary measure something
had to be done. He favored q re-
turn Of the system Of permitting the
local county officials TO administer
the amounts in such manner as they
might see fit. He thought that the
commissioners had more complete
knowledge Of the needs than an out
slider could.
He again pointed out that the
state tax situation was simply a last
minute compromise and was the
best that could be set up at the
time, although he thought there
were many Irregularities showing up
through its operation. -.

Beauty Brevities
by MARTHA LEAVITT

Vernon of the Broadway success, Petit
coat Fever" chooses an amber lotion with
spicy, orange tang. And Julia Sanderson
prevents this summer bleaching business"
with wine-color lotion suggestive of de-
lightful fresh herbs.
Huge, hoppy beach-hats are in vogue.
Sylvia Sidney plays hide-and-seek with
the sun this way She also keeps her
chestnut brown locks in place with light
wave-set lotion which. she says, helps to
give her hair a glossy look "a certain
sheen" which is so important for photo
graphic purposes.
Here's an old-fashioned trick for pro-
tecting your hair from the billowy sea
waves. Virginia Verrill, charming radio
performer claims it works. She winds a
piece of channels about her head before
donning thin oilskin swim-cap. Let the
breakers surge on - Miss Verrill's soft
dark waves are none the worse for it. It's
worth trying for the benefit of your curls
Sunshades and parasols dot the beaches
everywhere. And if you are wise beauty
seeker you'll add this paraphernalia to the
sun-show as you hop on the bandwagon
for summer charm.

IT'S all very we'll to protect your fair
face with delicate-scented creams and
rich emollients against the ravages of
an August sun. But what about your fair
tresses during the summer months2 For
after few days of unaccustomed sun
baths and dips into the ocean waves, the
hair becomes so dry and bleached that
even your most bewitching dance-gown
cannot offset this beauty-error.
Grace Moore, who surely is worthy of
emulation carries good supply of tonic
wherever she goes. She rubs it into her
scalp to prevent the drying effects of
summertime. Plenty of brilliantine for the
ends of the hair to keep them from
breaking off and forming that unattrac-
tive sGaggy fringe - is also in order.
Claudette Colbert appreciates this and
rubs brilliantine into her lovely locks with
a vengeance. Though she has lived in
California for several years she has never
really luxuriated in sun bath. She is a
pure brunette and believes dark women
should not tan.
Hair fragances which give your summer
couture lustre and well-Toomed ap-
pearance are decidedly popular Dorothy

don't leave anything behind you. and be sure
that the fire is out.
Advice scarcely necessary to offer is that
you select site for your picnic that you know
something about - because you have pic
nicked there before and know that the ground
is not swampy, or that it is not more mos
quito-infested than anywhere else, or that it
is not dangerous snake country. If it is to be
on beach, it is well to remember to make
some preparation to shield both your guests,
and the food they are to eat. from sand.
From my own experience | suggest a few
ordinary fve-foot garden stakes and a few
yards of ticking with hem at each end of
each length. through which stake is inserted
and then thrust into the sand, with another
stake or two on the lea side These make
effective sand and wind breaks at the least
weight and size to carry.
BY the way. if you are giving large picnic
and including number Of people of average
variety = by this | mean not picnic addicts
then | would select site that is easy to
get to or away from. One deserved criticism
of many places chosen for picncs is that they
are likely as not to be in an utterly inaccessible
spot. say this rather feelingly because
went on picnic once in boat to faraway
beach. When we wanted to leave we found
that we had chosen place surrounded by
sand bar, which could be crossed only at high
tide. And it was now low tide.
On second thoughts. perhaps this does not
matter since it might deter those who are not
picnic enthusiasts from going with you! And
after all, nothing is so dampening to the en-
joyment of picnic as the presence of one or
more fautfinders, who never lift finger.
On the other hand, if you select your COM
pany from among those who have genuine
passion for picnics, not only will they make
every one forget blowing sand and inquisitive
ants or hungry mosquitoes, but the chances
are that they will work like beavers.

Air Conditioning to Be Ex. plained by Rice and
 Ahlers Co.

Air conditioning paid for itself in money saved on doctor bills and medicine, and in time off in one year" is the way one customer de- scribed the new heating system, now being featured by the Rice Ss Ahlers Company.
 c. H. Metcalfe, whose company recently merged with Rice & Ahl- CTS, stated that few people in Ju- neau have more than mere un- derstanding of what air condition ing" means.
 Air conditioning, he said, is one of the first among the popular sub jects of discussion today. To most of us the term has rather a vague meaning. We know it has some thing to do with the improving of comfort and living conditions, and with safeguarding health, but just what it is, or what elements go into it's creation, few of us realize.
 So many elements play part in Air Conditioning, that an under standing of all of them is import ant. Through the courtesy of MT. Metcalfe, Rice and Ahlers will pre- sent a daily account of the strides made in inventions designed to bring comfort to winter homes. A detailed account of what Air Con- ditioning' really means will be pre- sented in The Empire tomorrow.
