In recent years it has become pos
sible for eastern markets to show
many more nice things to eat at pop
ular prices. This of course, is due to
the fine transportation now available
for fruits and vegetables that here
tofore were rarely seen in Eastern
markets and if so, were so high In
price that the family who was even
comfortably well off dared not spend
quite so much money. One can Judge
this for herslf by merely taking an
artichoke as an example. They are now
reasonably priced and every family
who so desires can serve them.
Many people eat them hot with a
hollandaise sauce. Others, and es-
pecially out West, eat them cold with
mayonnaise as a salad. They are SIM
pie to prepare and ever so tasty. Es-
pecially when ones patience is re-
warded and the heart is reached. Here
is how they are prepared:
BOILED ARTICHOKES
In selecting artichokes, the small
or medium sized ones are the best,
since they are more tender. They
should be crisp and fresh in appear

tendance was large and a spirit OF
hopefulness prevailed. Manager II.

that have taken place here the last

suited losses has given place to 9TH

worst while the later districts are
going through the changes.
President woodward praised the
progress made and said we were in
the best financial condition OF any
district in the valley. General Man
ager j. w. Hebert discussed the
prospects OF the crops we are now
producing from a marketing stand
point. He pointed out the rapid de-
Velopment OF the frozen products
and that the expenditures TO be
made at the local plant to increase
the facilities were fully justified and
was in Keeping with the Big Y policy
OF leading In every effort TO in
crease the marketing outlet for our
products.

All Records for
Monthly Rains
Fall This Year
Half Of Average Annual
Precipitation Shown
During Month

All monthly records for precipi.
tation were broken during this Lean
Year month, according to informa-
ton from Weatherman AL Morgan
The annual precipitation for the
Kennewick district has averaged
about seven inches. This month he
measured 3.58 inches, or nearly half
OF the annual rainfall.
The measurement was five times
the normal as indicated by last year
report of 70. The past week alone
produced 1.61 inches. The rainfall
was unusual in another way, ac-
cording to reports, in that there was
practically no runoff in the entire
district.
In the Horse Heaven hills, there
are several storage dams recently
constructed. There is no water in
them now, despite the unusual
amount of moisture. However, much
to the Joy of the wheat farmers, the
moisture has penetrated the soil
deeper than even the oldest resident
can remember.
Roads thruout the district have
not been materially damaged dur
ing the month, and there was no
water erosion in the fields. The
county road crews estimate that
what little cutting was done in the
roads can be repaired within week.
Temperature records for the past
week, with those of the last week
n the month year ago are:

Camp Fire Girls Study
Local Fire Fighting

. The Nissaki Camp Fire Girls
visited the local Fire department
wednesday evening as one of the
group activities in their 1910 birth
day project entitled "Skillful. Liy-
ing"
The departments equipment was
explained by Fire Chief Carroll
Pratt and driver Roy Stafford. The
thrilling feature of the evening to
the girls was to see the ladder drill
by six of the fire boys. After the
demonstration Chief Pratt gave the
girls a list of fire prevention rules
and precautions of which they plan
to make a scrapbook for their own
use. Pictures were also shown giving
illustrations of fire fighting.
The boys of the department held
a business meeting later in the eve
ming and made plans to entertain
the central Washington firemen at
their quarterly meeting which will
be held here March 10. "''- %.
