TWENTY TAKE
CHEST EXAMS
Periodic +. B. Tests Given TO
Local Citizens by Chest
Specialist

At the chest clinic held In Ken
newick May 25th under the auspic-
les Of the Benton County Tuber-.
culosis League, 20 persons were ex-
amined according to Alice Brakel,
RN., county nurse, who was i'm
charge. Doctor Seth L. Cox, dag
nostician on the staff of the WASH
ington Tuberculosis Association was
the examining physician. Mrs. Ed
Brand and Mrs. Ed Tweet assisted
the nurse.
According to Doctor Cox, tubercu-
losis In the teen age and the early
twenties presents a most serious
problem.
"It is between is and 35 years OF
age that tuberculosis takes its
greatest toll of life," said DR.. Cox
land most of these cases develop
their first slight evidences OF the
disease between the ages of is and
20 years. An annual examination
by ones family physician and good
living habits are sufficient TO pre-
vent an actual breakdown from
tuberculosis In early adult life."
This clinic. which is one OF the
series held periodically In Benton
county is part OF the preventive
and educational program against
tuberculosis sponsored by the WASH
ington tuberculosis Association in
cooperation with the local league,
and is financed by the annual sale
Of Christmas Seals. The sale this

100 VETERANS
TO GET $4,000
OF BONUS COIN
No Extra Help to be Required
to Handle Receipt of Baby
Bonds by World War Vet
Grams

No special preparations are be-
ing made locally to handle the ap-
proximately 100000 worth OF bonus
bonds which Kennewick veterans
will receive the middle of this
month. Some 40 veterans have
made application locally for the
payments and this number will not
cause any extra help to be en-
ployed, according to Postmaster F.
II. Lincoln, who thinks that the reg
ular force can handle the deal with
out overtime.
An interview with Legion officials
reveals that the average payment to
the local veterans will run around
$3.50. At Richland there are about
thirty who will come under the
same rating, most Of the youths
from this section having joined the
l46th Field Artillery when the call
to arms came.
Deliveries of the bonds will be
made just as soon as they arrive
from the department at Washing
ton. Deliveries will be made to ap-
plicants who are known to the car
rier only.
In case the veteran wants to cash
his bonds receipt will be taken by
the post office officials, the bonds
sent to Seattle, from where the
checks will be sent. Odd amounts
will be in the form of checks sent
along at the time of the delivery
Of the bonds.
Interviews with numerous veter-
ans indicates that not q single man
is planning to celebrate upon re-
ceipt of his bonus. Most of them
are planning to purchase a little
business, tract Of land upon which
to make a living or to pay for an al
ready purchased home or tract.
In almost every case locally vet
Grams plan TO spend the money i'm
mediately upon receipt. All have
planned their expenditures and all
seem to be going for things which
are. necessary.
It is expected that deliveries will
be made here at the same time
other centers are receiving their
bonds and the Kennewick veterans,
for the most part, are expecting to
put the new money" into circula-
ton as fast as it is made available.

TO CELEBRATE
THREE DAYS
TKENNEWICK
Bigges t and Best Celebra-
ton Ever Held Here is the
Objective of Association !;
ROdeO to Show 3 Days

Whether or not q carnival was
a desirable part of q Fourth of july
celebration was the major discus
sion at the regular meeting Of the
chamber of commerce this noon
Apparently the more entertainment
the town can offer, the more PEG.
pie it will draw was the concensus
Of opinion, especially in view Of
the fact that a considerable sum
can be realized toward the expenses
Of the celebration by permitting q
carnival to show.
Mayor Alfred Anon, head Of the
amusement association, was the
principal speaker at the meeting. He
told the club members that large
number Of entertainment features
at that time would prove a draw
ing card and said that he was in
communication with several outfits
which desired to show here at that
time.
Whether or not to combine the
celebration of the burning of the
bonds on the refinancing of the
Columbia Irrigation district was left
to the discretion of special COM
mittee. The committee appointed to
handle this feature was instructed
to confer with the general Fourth
committee to settle whether or not
this should be part of the big eel
ebration.
At any rate, 1t was decided to
make the celebration three day af-
fair instead of two, as previously
announced. The big fun will start
on Friday. Saturay the races, speak
ing program, rodeo and other fea-
lures will be scheduled and on
Sunday, July 5th, the finals of the
rodeo will be pulled off.
The three big full days of fur
and amusement are on the program
and Kennewick will be host to the
largest crowd on those three days
which has ever gathered in this
section. The days will be full OF
fun and the nights full of excite
ment, il the plans of the commit
tees are carried ont.

GROWERS FORM
CHERRY POOL
Is Raisers to Market Crop
to Cash Buyer; Pack at
Local Place

Eighteen Independent cherry
growers of the district met Wednes-
day evening at the Washington
Early Crops to form local pool.
Twenty five growers were represent
ed, with total estimated tonnage
of ITS to 200 tons of Bings and
Lamberts. Arrangements were made
for cash sale, based on daily mar
kets.
The crop will be packed at the
Early Crops warehouse, where Is to
40 packers will be employed during
the season.
It is estimated that approximately
100 cars Of cherries will roll from
the local orchards this spring, the
crop here being better than In most
other sections Of the state. The
October freeze apparently injured
the trees in other cherry districts
more severely than here and the
crop is heavy. In fact, the load is
really too heavy and quite q large
percentage Of the fruit win not run
as large as the cherries for which
this district has become famous.
The rain Of the past few days has
caused spotted damage, depend
ing upon the stage Of ripeness of
the fruit. Other producing sections
have suffered from the rains also.
While prices are not definite at
this time, dealers anticipate that
the price will pick up after the first
shipment or two especially If the
other sections are as badly injured
as appears from present reports.
