III. S. PLAY TO
BE ATLIBERTY
WEDNESDAY
Fixing 1t For Father" is
Comedy to Be Presented by
ALI Class Cast Next Week;
Show a Scream

The all-class play "Fixing 1t
For Father" will be presented at
the Liberty Theatre Wednesday,
March 6. ut is a lively comedy you
are sure to enjoy. The professor,
played by John Tweet, who is the
father of two beautiful girls, name
ly, Mary Thresher and Evelyn
Keeney, has been encouraged by
the smooth ways of his brother-in-
law to correspond with a refined
widow in his name. This was
against the terms Of the will left
by Netty, the professors sister
and Dick Cunard's wife. The IA
Their is in an awful predicament
when the widow, Fanchon La
VoHie, played by Ruby Hill, comes
TO his home unexpectedly. His
daughters, having found the let
tiers, persuade their boy friends,
Harry, Bob Skuse and Jack, Aaron
Foraker, to help them. Harry dis
guises himself as the professor.
Not knowing what Harry has done,
Jack takes the disguise of Fanch-
on, so he may save the professor
from marrying the widow.
Added to this uncomfortable sit
uation of the prosessor's-is Dicks
Oh maid sister-in-law, Virginia
Carpenter, who becomes sentiment
al over the professor. Suffering
Harold, Adrian Harrsch, and Aunt
Lie, the cook, Jean Boutelle, adds
much laughter and enjoyment all
thru the play. Sporting Boutelle
plays the part of Harold's father.
Elinor and Beatrice, the profess
or's daughters, try so hard (but
all in vain) to fix things for
father.

SCORE HIGH

Every now and then the Insti-
tute of Dairying at the State Coll
lege pulls a surprise test on dairy
men turnout the state. In recent
tests three Kennewick diaries
ranked high in their scores, Ell
liott's dairy showing 97.6, CARRIERS
97.5 and Baxter's 97.2. Each will
be awarded Diploma of Merit
from the college. Inspector r. L.
Nelson, from whom the informa-
ton was obtained says the local
diaries made an excellent showing
and the difference in the scores is
so small as to be Of little conse-
quence.

Opening Of the upper Columbia
river and the Snake river to navi-
cation long has been advocated by
Inland Empire communities, par
ticularly since the decision Of rail-

completed.
B To push this work the Inland
Empire Waterways association has
been formed. Membership quota
for Benton county has been set at

eating a substantial interest in the
work.
