and patter that schools some
times overlook. We saw her
the other afternoon. While
watching the plot unfold itself
before our eyes, our attention
was caught by some people
coming up the aisle, and they
were Sonora de Najera, her
pretty little daughter and SIS
ter, Senorita Davila. From
their hurried hellos, smiles and
mods, we judged they enjoyed
it all.

The Joseph E. Davies were
entertaining the visiting Cover

charming wife, Lady Clifford,
at luncheon, preceded by cock
tails yesterday at the May

versed in the art of knowing
how" to wear clothes, had on
a blue and white polka-dot
frock made on simple lines and
having a green vest and a chic
white ascot. Her wide-brimmed

innocently blank faces we have
ever seen. The accompanying
answers were mere pooh-poohs
and we-don't- know-what-you-
are-talking-about sort of eva
sions. Well, we know what
we heard, and we suspect that
they will be heard on Monday
when Minister Bilmanis is to be

AMUSEMENT
ASSN. TO BUY
RODEO LAND

Purchase of the rodeo grounds by
the Kennewick Amusement aSsocla-
ton was endorsed this noon at the
regular meeting of the chamber OF
commerce. Up to now the improve
ments made have been made by q
sort of squatter's right, the county
holding title to the land.
The idea was to purchase the
land for the rodeo grounds, togeth-
er with q sufficient amount OF ao-
jacent property, in all amounting
to about eight acres, so that the as
ISOLATION could control the tnlng
Completely and also to provide park
ing space.
The amusement association, IN no
way connected with the chamber 0!
commerce, has staged two gooo
rodeos and the affair is growing IN
popularity. ALI the improvements
ALREADY on the grounds have been
Maid for in full, some fifteen hum
dred dollars having been added tnls
wear. AS the show promises 10 pc
come one Of the big annual events
for the community, the purchase Oh
the land was held necessary.
AS the association has no pank
account at present, the club Is pan
ninr to loan enough money SO as
to permit the purchase OF the lano.
The association is already consao-
ering plans for the next summer .
show.

many farmers how the Agricultural
Conservation Program stands at the
present time. The listing sheets for
Benton County were sent to the Of

ago, and we are now awaiting the
acreage allotment for this county.
The State Board has to determine
the respective county allotments.
When they finally decide what the
allotments will be they will give the
different counties permission to 60
ahead and have the farmers sign
application for grant" No county
has as yet been given this permits
sion so far as we know, and we have
requested permission to do this work
Just as soon as possible. "a
Due to the absence from the coun-
ty for a considerable period Of one
of the farmers we had selected as
supervisor and the sickness OF an
other supervisor who was to take
his place, there is portion Of the
field checking yet unfinished in
one community, Locust Grove. This
is rapidly nearing completion, how
ever, and in no way has delayed the
program in general in the county.

The committee expects heavier de-
mands to be made this year by the
Benton County Health Council and
the Boy Scouts and e Is found at
present that the amount of milk
furnished last year is inadequate
to meet the demands this year and
this item will be greatly increased.
The budget is being held to q
minimum but on account Of the ex-
listing conditions, the committee re-
quests a greater contribution from
all employees and business firms
than was made last year. It Is hoped
that each employee will be able to
contribute at least one days pay.
The various civic organizations In
the town will furnish solicitors to
cover the territory on Saturday and
it is hoped that they will be receiv-
ed with due courtesy and that those
solicited will make their donations
promptly so that the work can be
finished In one day.
