Racers to Bring Craft
for River Events

Seventy or eighty boats will per-
form on the Columbia in connec-
ton with the Fourth of July cele-
bration, as result of some effort

Portland. Ten races, each of two
heats have been arranged to take
place on a measured course off the
island. All races, with handicaps,
etc. will be under the direction of
the national organization and will
be official in every respect.
Several classes of boats will be
entered in the races, Mr.. Havstad
reported to the Kiwanis club Tues
day. They will range from the lite
peanut" scooters to the heavy sea
cruisers. Each will have an official
rating, with proper handicaps, etc.
The races will be run on Sunday,
the last day of the rodeo and will
be in the morning. Substantial
cash prizes have been posted and
the races will attract some of the
best drivers on the coast. The event
will attract many enthusiasts who
follow the races during the season.

DressUp,1Time
ToStart With
Big Dance
Big Hats, Loud Shirts,
Old Fashioner Clothes
to Advertise Rodeo

Opening festivities for Kenne.
wick's annual celebration will be the
cowboy dance at the Highlands or
Tuesday, the oath. This function
will be in true. western style, with
the grand march for those who dress
up for the occasion. Top cow hands
cow girls and tough western char
acters will all be present-ev to
Blark Bart and his gang.
The hall will be appropriately dec
GRATED with boots and saddles, a
branding pen and the general tone
will be "Ride 'em Ruff" The dance
will be the official opening of the
period for dressing up to advertise
the rodeo. From then until the
Fourth all business men and wo-
men, as well as anyone else who can
be persuaded, are to wear the bright
clothes, etc.
Many of the local women are plan
ming to wear old fashioned clothes
on the street during the two weeks
prior to the celebration, while the
younger set is going to wear cow
girl attire. There is a universal OBJ
jection-both male and female-to
the idea of sprouting whiskers on
the men. Several men, however, are
going to let their upper lips go
until after the Fourth, as
an advertising stunt.

Strong Wind and Rain
Cause Fifth Loss to Bings

All lights out signaled the ap-
proach of the storm that had been
brewing in Kennewick since early
morning. H. w. Desgranges, of the
Big Y roughly estimated a damage
of nearly one-fifth loss of the bling
crop. The later Lamberts suffered
seriously, but the exact havoc caus-
ed by the rain and strong wind can
not yet be determined.
One of the large display windows
of the Washington Hardware was
completely wrecked and Phil Bier,
in attempting to pick up the pieces,
suffered a badly cut arm, necessi-
tating severa surgical stitches. Num-
erous trees fell, and from various
reports Pasco and vicinity was hit
just as hard if not harder.
A small fire on the roof of the
grade school was another causulty.
A fire left in the heating unit used
to melt. the tar didn't mix very well
with the rain and boiled over, caus-
ing considerable smoke with few
flames which the fire department
soon had under control.

Bank to.
Extend Farm
Loan Periods
Policy Now to
Have 2 to 5 Years
Instead of One

To promote more stable tenure Oh
farm families that rent their farms
and assist programs for soil con-
servation and better use, the Fedora
Land Bank of Spokane in the future
will lease it's farms generally fo1
two to five year periods, rather than
for one year terms. Clarence w
Dykes, secretary-treasurer of Ma
ton Farm Loans Association in Ben
ton county, announced this week.
"TFle land bank is anxious to re-
turn all of its property to private
ownership as rapidly as possible, d
Dykes said, 'tbut pending sale, it is
to the interest of the bank, the COM
munity and the man who eventually
will buy the farm that the best pos
sible care be taken of the land. Fur
thernore, longer term leases will
help many families now renting to
work themselves up to the position
where they are able to become farm
owners.
GAS long as we are trying to sell
our properties, our longer leases still
will contain a provision for cancella-
tion in case of sale, but in such event
the lessee will be compensated as
provided by the lease for work per-
formed under it's terms, and every
effort will be made to find him an
equally good farm where he can
continue without interruption of his
progress.
1.-THE longer term lease policy
adopted by hte bank is in line with
latest recommendations for the i'm
provement of conditions of farm
tenure Throughout the county,

Now Eligible
AS Pioneers
30-Year Limit Is
Cut to 25-Expect
Large Increase

Residents Of Kennewick prior to
1916 are now eligible to membership
in the Pioneers, the previous 30-year
requirement having been lowered
this week to IS years. Inasmuch as
large number of Kennewick peo-
pie now living here came to this
section during that five-year per-
iod from 1910 to 1916, membership
should be more than doubled this
year. At that the Pioneer registra-
ton books contain nearly six hun
dred names now. This, of course,
includes more than $50 out-of-town-
erS.
Pioneers will have an increasing
importance in the Fourth Celebra-
ton, especially this year, in that
they are to have an entire section in
the elaborate parade now being ar
ranged. The picnic, to be held in
the park, is also to be on a larger
scale this year.
At committee meeting held last
Sunday, various subcommittee were
named to handle the details for the
Pioneers. The parade, picture dis
play, reception, eats and other de-
tails will be in charge of these COM
mittees who are asking the help of
all those early day settlers who are
still in the community. Letters have
been sent to all whose names are
on file, and each person who came to
Kennewick prior to 1916 is urged to
register at the park and participate
in the fun and frolic.

not be considered good risks for a

Since then, of course, the Justice
Department has forced the exit of

Shoe Company for operating a

for violation of the Wage Hour
Act, and of the Child Labor Act.
In the files of the federal govern

Senator Tydings on Senate station
cry in which he interviewed on be-
half of the Bata Shoe workers. Pre-
sumably he was acting on behalf of
his Maryland constituents. How
