New Spud Pest
Showing Up Here

The Eastern Flea Beetle has made
its appearance In different COM
munities Of Benton county, accord
ing to information received from
County Agent Waldo w. 6kuse. who
warns all potato growers to watch
very closely for the appearance OF
this pest In their fields. It Is very
similar in appearance to the com
mon flea beetle except that 1t Is
let black instead Of bronze In color.
The young worms when Matched
make their way into the soil, bur-
rowing into the roots and tubers,
causing damage which win re-
duce the grade.
Damage can be precented by a
poisoning program which ordinar-
ily consists of busting for four times
ten days apart-with a combina-
ton dust. All cases should be re-
ported to the County Extension Of
flee In Kennewick, where any fur
ther information can be secured.

Strawberry Crop
will Total 60 Cars
Is Estimate

The Kennewick strawberry crop
will total more than sixty full car
loads. the largest tonnage shipped
from this point in many years, II
not indeed, the record. And still
the crop is not as heavy as was an
ticipated by the amount Of bloom
showing on the vines early In the
season.
The price, while not high, is con-
sidered satisfactory, considering
conditions, it is reported. Picking
will continue in diminishing
amounts for another full week, with
favorable weather conditions, al
though the double holiday will
cause q price decline, in the opin-
ion Of shippers.
The bulk of the crop was not
shipped In straight carloads. Of
course, the first solid car rolling
from here to the Portland market
Monday evening. Some five or six
carlot shipments have rolled dur
ing the week, going mostly to the
mid-western market. Local mar
kets have absorbed more than the
usual amount Of shipments, local
shippers state, and most Of the crop
has rolled Lei. to these nearby
points.

the thirtiesth such ceremony to be
observed here. The first class con-
tanned eight members, two Of whom

Prospects for steadily increas-
ing number Of graduates are in
prospect, according to Supt. E. s..
Black, who reports that next years
class will be even larger than this.
The year following, however, will
probably drop down, he states, as
the enrolment In that class Is
among the smallest the school has
had for number Of years.
But from then on, there will be
bigger Jumps in the size Of the
classes. he says, for the lower grades
aresteadily increasing In enrolment.
Last year 833 were enrolled In the
system, this year the number jump
ed to 895. Last year the first grade
enrolment numbered 20, while this
year there was a total Of 81 In that
class. An additional teacher viii be
needed next year for the youngsters
who start their first years school
ing, Mr.. Black says.
IF the same percentage OF IN
creases is noted right along, the
present new high school building
will soon be crowded to capacity.

Handsome Store
Building Adds to
Towns Beauty

The completion OF the new Brown
building has been a source OF a
great deal of local pride, the new
store adding materially to the mod
ern appearance OF the business CEN
ter OF Kennewick.
The building has been contem-
plated for some little period OF
time, Mr.. Brown waiting TO secure q
term lease before commencing con-
struction. His recent contract with
Mr.. Mcdonald and the four-year
renewal of the lease with the j. Q.
Penney company on the corner
building gives him piece Of in
come property which will prove
OF considerable value in years TO
come.
Mr.. Brown also has plans for the
erection of still another building on
the property to the rear OF the
Penney building I'm which TO house
the telephone offices. This project
as yet is merely In the plans for
the future. ...
In the erection Of his new build
ing, Mr.. Brown has employed the
latest materials and effects and the
result has been q handsome store
room, the equal OF those In the met
ropolitan centers. The use Of the
black cararra glass In the exterior
finish gives the building a striking
effect, as well as adding to the dur
ability Of the structure.
The building Is 50x75 feet, brick
and tile construction. A new type
of prismatic glass has been in
stalled over the plate glass display
windows, giving a pleasing diffu-
sion OF the light. The comparatively
low ceilings of prefinished insula-
ton material adds to the light with
In the building as well as guarding
against excessive heat and cold.
The heating unit is by means OF
a forced-air radiator system, cap
able of providing an excessive
amount OF heat for the size OF the
room.
Sewers, water supply and wiring
conduits are specially arranged for
convenience and no effort has been
spared to make the building one OF
the most modern structures OF the
type In the country.
In so far as possible all labor and
materials were furnished through
local agencies. The construction
work was done under the direction
Of T. G. Browne; glass, lumber and
insulating materials were furnish
ed through the Standard Lum-
Der Co., electric wiring by the Col
umbia Electric Co., heating by Mok-
Ter Plumbing and Heating Co., and
Eichner g. Sons and the hardware
through the washington Hardware
a. Furniture Co.
The cement floor has O new type
covering cemented on, which gives
q smooth, durable finish. Tho
room is large enough to provide am
pie storage in the rear as well an
provide an unusually spacious sales
room.

 IS BEING SOUGHT
Police Want to Question Him in Regard to Sunday
 Night Shooting

Stafford Springs, Conn.,, May G. CUP) = Police today sought man named Joseph Dunlop for question ing in the shooting Sunday night of Walter J. Miller, 37, Chelsea, Mass, who remained in critical condition at Johnson Memorial hospital.
 According to State Police Sergeant Harris J. Hurlburt, Miller identified Dunlop as the man with whom he was driving at Holland when, with out warning, he was shot in the back and left for dead on the highway. Miller staggered to a nearby gas station where help was called.
 Police held to the theory Miller was taken for a ride" and that whoever planned the deed also had arranged to bury the victim. Hurl- burt said he found a pick ana shovel near the scene of the shoot inng. The implements, he said, were covered with oil foreign to this section.
 Meantime, Boston police connect ed the attempted murder with plans for a $5OO0O holdup in that city. Police there were tipped such a rob bery twas in the works" and had stationed special guards in the office of the company handling the money.
