ton to furnish interest
to all farmers

Thursday, July 10, is the date set
for the goth Annual Field Day at

Branch Experiment station staff
and members Of the Main Station

Kiwanis to Sponsor
Hospital Room in
Spaulding Memory
Public as we'll as 'fhis"
children to be asked to
contribute to fund hon
oring pioneer physician

The KiWanis club is planning an
enduring memorial to DR.. l.. G.
Spaulding. charter member, and
past president of the organization.
His death was chronicled last week.
This action was taken Tuesday
noon and a committee will be ap-
pointed to work out the details.
Present plan is to furnish a room
in the Pasco hospital, where the
doctor had worked so long and
faithfully. Then, if the response in
the form of contributions is as
large as everyone seems to think it
will be, further activities will be un-
dertaken in the doctors name.
The room so furnished will bear
a plaque upon the door stating that
it was dedicated to the doctors
memory.
Tentativ. plan is to solicit, in adj
dition to the local people who feel
the desire to help in the movement,
small annual contribution from all
the children-nearly four thousand
in number-at whose birth the doc
tor assisted. Inquiries have shown
that the idea would find a ready
response and substantial sum
would be contributed to carry on
this work.
This plan is an outgrowth of an
action taken by several friends last
week in contributing the money Or
dinarily spent for funeral flowers to
a. fund to be forwarded to the Or
.thopedic Hospital in the doctors
name. This sum amounted to more
than $75 and other contributions
have since been received.
The suggestion that this money
be used locally was the beginning of
the present movement.

County Lacks Fl
of Going Into
Fifth Class
City lacks Is of hitting
1900 mark; Six more
farms than 10 years ago
are listed

If Benton county can rustic UP q
more registrations under the census
law, it will change the rating of the
county into the fifth class, giving
it many more advantages. This in
formation was phoned this paper
this afternoon by Jay Perry, di-
rector of the census for this district
The action, however, will have to be
fast, for the office will close the
middle of next week.
Benton county now has a popu-
lation, according to the latest fig
ures, of 1880. Twenty-one more
will put it over the $4,000 class into
the next higher classification. Only
eighteen more registrations in the
city limits will put the official pop
ulation at the 1900 mark, MIR. Perry
said. The official figures, so far as
his office has them, is 1882.
In order to boost these figures,
anyone having knowledge of resi-
dents, who have not been counted
in the census are requested to not
ify any local census taker, MIR. Per-
rvs office at Walla Walla or apply
at the printing office for the blanks.
Everyone is anxious to secure the
additional registrations in order to
boost the classification.
The agricultural census, taken at
the same time the population count
was made, shows Benton county has
six more farms this year than ten
years ago, but 214 fewer than five
years ago. The figures are: 1880,
1868 farms, 1885, 1882 and 1910,
1874. While there are fewer farms
now than five years ago, there is
greater acreage under cultivation,
larger farm units.

Expect Increased
Attendance at
Pioneer Picnic
Free chicken dinner to be
feature of old timers
gathering; want more
pictures

Because too many people can't
get away for the two days, the Pho
neer Picnic will be held on the
Fourth, instead of the fifth as was
originally planned.
The feature of the day will of
course be the big chicken dinner
TO be served to all the old timers
who register. The dinner will be
served in the cafeteria of the school
this year as last.
A registration booth will be set
up at the park and all those who
have lived in the community for
80 years or more are requested to
register and receive Pioneer but
ton
The display of old pictures will
again be set up and a number OF
new collections will be on display
this year, according to present in
dications. Anyone having pictures
of old time things, especially per-
tanning to this community or of par
ticular interest to the old timers,
is requested to notify Mrs. Reed at
the printing office, or bring it along
on that day.
All pioneers are urged to partici-
pate in the Pioneer section in the
parade on the morning of the
Fourth. Following the parade, the
gathering at the park will COM
mence and the "do you remember"
talks will begin.
Invitations have been sent to
all those who have registered in
previous years and it appears that
there will be an even larger num-
Der of former residents returning to
participate in the celebration. The
pioneer section of the celebration is
growing in Importance as the eli
gibility list increases year by year.
