CwNU service)

The executive committee of the
Benton tuberculosis League met
last week at the home of the pres
ident, Mrs. M. w. Roop, in Benton
City, to decide upon the purchase
of the sound film machine for use
of the League in its educational
work.
After having several machines
demonstrated the committee placed
an order for the machine and will
very soon have the machine and
films ready for use. tuberculosis
films will be shown to any organ
ization anywhere in the county free
of charge.
Several inquiries were received by
the committee concerning the pos
sibility of organizations securing the
use of the machine for films 9TH
er than about tuberculosis. The
committee decided the machine
could be rented for the sum Of $500
per showing plus gasoline mileage
for the operator. The money de-
rived from the rental will be used
to pay on the purchase contract Of
the machine. Arrangements for the
rental or for tuberculosis films can
be made with Mrs. Harry Fleming,

The League hopes with this splen-
did new equipment to bring the
message of the tuberculosis work to
Benton County, through the sound
films with their musical background
and story form, in an entertaining
and efficient manner

More Than $50
Tons of Cherries
Packed Each Day
Crop to bring nearly half
million dollars; more
than $500 people requir-
ed to harvest crop

Cherry Crop Figures
$50 Large cars (l6OO 15-lb. boxes
100000 pounds (l7O0 tons)
Gross value S445,OOO 90
Labor cost, $l36,oOO.O0
Supplies, S34,OOO.O0
Net to the growers S275,OOO.OO
Few Kennewick people realize, H.
w. Desgranges, manager Of the Big
Y reported today, just what this
cherry crop means to this commun-
ity.
In cash returns 1t means consid-
erably over quarter of a million
dollars at the prevailing prices, he
said. In jobs, more than $500 peo-
pie are being employed to harvest
the crop. Eleven hundred women
are packing Kennewick cherries to-
day, and for every packer about 2la
people are employed in other ca
pacities, picking, hauling, handling,
etc. |aEr ..,9
Early estimates of the crop have
all been shattered-all falling far
short Of the actual tonnage, which
is greatly in excess of anything the
district has ever experienced.
Getting underway last week, this
week saw the peak of the pack. On
Monday Of this week, the Big Y
alone handled l151a tons; on Tues
day ll41a tons and yesterday l04
tons These figures do not include
the tonnage from the Pasco Grow
ers nor the Pacific, which would
nearly equal the Y figures. Receipts
are expected to continue near the
l00-ton figure at the Y for the re-
mainder of the week, Desgranges
said.
Prices have remained good in
spite Of the bumper crop and the
grower should net more this year
than for the past several years.
Yesterdays auction netted the
growers, Desgranges said, better
than 9R cents, while up to this
date the prices have been even
higher. With the tapering off OF
the season taken into consideration
the entire crop should net, he es-
Inmates, better than eight cents a
pound to the growers.
Spud prices, while too low for
the season, re not as bad as they
have been in the preceding few
years and the crop on the whole is
fair both from quality and quality.
Pea harrests are better than the
average and the growers are net
ting fair prices for this crop.

CONVENTIONS AND LUNCHES

There was no doubt from the be-
ginning that Chicago would get the
Democratic convention this year.
Mr.. Roosevelt, freely admitting his
addiction to lunches" told friends
long ago that it couldn't be San
Francisco, because that is where he
was disastrously nominated for vice
president in 1920. 1t couldn't be
Philadelphia, because. he doesn't be-
lieve in consecutive plays on the
same card.
Had to Be Chicago.
1t must be Chicago, because that
is whereehe got his chance in 1882.
It is the same system of choice
used by taxi-drivers and bell-hops
in playing policy or numbers-but
Hitler uses it and so did Napoleon,
Caesar and nearly all other great
leaders who believed that their ends
were shaped by some divinity.
Convention talk is plenty. The
convention business" is a major
American industry. The city of
Cleveland alone estimated a take
of many millions from its last year S
average of 100000 delegates to
various conventions.
This inflow of money is all pure
gravy to convention city. 1t in
creases jobs, sales and other intake
for large part of the population
by filtering through the hotels,
stores and Their services to the in
dividuals who work at selling, serv-
ing or producing.

Strange Facts

. 4 Powerful Fuel

Ornifhslogists and seamen have
good reasons to believe that most
albatrosses fly around the world
several times during the course of
their lives. incidentally, these
great birds, which can be buffeted
for days by ocean gales, become
very seasick when standing on the
deck of a moving ship.
In a new South Dakota flour mill,
the heat generated by friction in
the grinding machine is so great
that the heated air it creates,
drawn off by a fan and washed, is
sufficient to heat the entire six
story building, except in very cold
weather.
A number of American lawyers
not only handle the legal affairs of
their clients, but are also request
ed to take charge of such personal
details as buying and furnishing
homes, advising on marriage part

They were shipped at the rate of
