State SOftbaH
Tourney to be
Held i'm PascO

With the 18th of August only a
week away, plans are shaping up for
PaSco'S first official State Softball
Championship Tournament. Entries
are beginning to pour in with Pull
man, Coulee Dam, Fort George
Wright and the Dunn Lumber Co. of
Seattle turning in the first applica-
tions. District playoffs are being held
now and the teams to represent dis
trictS from Spokane, Chewelah, Yaki-
ma, Bellingharn, Vancouver, Everett,
Tacoma and Bremerton will be de-
cided by this Friday, the 9th. Coulee
Dam, Grandview and Pasco are
other teams assured of a berth in
this, the greatest softball classic OF
the year in the State of Washington.
Three army air corps teams are
entered in the tourney in addition
to the district winners, including TT
George Wright and McChord Field
Plans are under way to have the
army teams fly to Pasco in large
army bombers. Here they will take
up quarters at the Legion hall, thru
the cooperation Of the local Ameri-
can Legion and the Veterans of For
eign Wars. These army teams rep
resent the pick of a large group Of
physically perfect young men and
have some excellent players in Their
team rosters. When these army boys
storm the town, look for some reai
ball playing.
Good umpiring will be another
outstanding feature of this tourna.

To help start things off with a bang
Pasco businessmen have agreed to
close their stores in time to allow
everyone to attend the opening

which is still secret.

to care for the horde of ball players,

ed to descend upon the Twin Cities.
Every effort is being made to line
up advance reservations for all
teams. s.r#- =. ~. -.
Advance ticket sales are being
handled through the members of the
local Active Club and the coopera-

to get their season tickets which en-

siderable saving.

the silks. I have been Shorted on ny
Ions on the last two orders. However,
I expect to get in sufficient sup
ply with my next order. for I have
doubled up on my regular amount
as expect to be shorted anyway"
she said.
The silk shortage in Kennewick
began to take on humorous angle
as many a hard-fiSted husband
plowed up to the hosiery counter
and went home with 1917 in dark
shade when he had received %ex-
plicit orders to buy a size nine in a
light shade-an because he was
afraid TO come home empty handed
and the size, style and shade had
run out. The supply of nylon is ex-
pected to continue, store owners re-
ported. However, as soon as the
present silk supply runs out and the
orders already in transit have been
received and sold, the shortage will
be felt, they said.
With the government alloca ting
20 percent of the rayon supply to
stockings and with manufacturers
rushing orders on new and revised
equipment to create sheer cotton
hose, the supply may be boosted
somewhat, reports indicated. Be-
cause of the variability in shade and
sheer, clothing and department
stores do not ordinarily keep a large
stock on hand, and consequently few
dealers reported having a large
enough supply of silk hose on hand
to Withstand the bItzkrieg that hit
them.

|Spud Growers
Unite to Urge
Marketing Bill

Frank Lampson of Kenewick,
Chas. Johanson, Bob Johanson, Joe
Triesch and Harry Fleming of Ben
ton City attended the executive
committee meeting of the newly
formed Northwest Farmers Market
ing Association in Wapato last
Tuesday. At this meeting the COM
mittee heartily agreed to endorse the
Bonner Bill III. B. 5372) which deals
with Marketing quotas on potatoes.
Also, as an emergency measure to
help raise the price of potatoes they
recommend that the potato divers
ion program be put into operation
Immediately.
The Northwest Farmers Market
ing Association is statewide group
of diversified farmers who have
banded together for the purpose of
trying to get parity or cost of pro-
duction price for all farm commod-
tiles. Although the organization is
only a few months old the enthus-
iasm which it has received from the
diversified farmer has already had
a great effect in bringing the farm
ers and buyers into closer coopera-
ton. The group has been operating
to date with temporary officers, who
include Chairman Lou Mesge of
Wapato, Sec. Treas. w. B. Meyers of
Harrah and Harry Fleming of Ben
ton City as executive committee
man.
A general meeting of all farmers
has been called on Friday evening,
August 9th in Sunnyside at Austin's
Cafe at pm. Representatives of the
organization from all over. the state
are planning to attend. At this time
the regular officers will be elected
and the permanent policy of the
group will he decided. All farmers
in this area are urgently requested
to attend.

PODllC Library.
For furnishing background ma
terial to those who have a passion
for collecting beautiful or curious
objects, the Public Library recon-
mendS certain dependable books on
antique collecting.
A person may be collecting be-
cause the decor of his house calls
for period furnishings. If so, he
will want to see examples of the fine
furniture, accessories and character
istic color schemes of that period.
Two excellent comprehensive his
tories or furniture are Decorative
Furniture" by George L. Hunter,
and The Encyclopedia of Fur
niture," edited by DR.. Hermann
Schmitz. Both trace the history of
furniture from the Egyptian period
to modern times, and both are il
lustrated with hundreds of fine
photographs. These are reference
books and may be consulted at the
central library and several Of the
major branches.
There are many books which may
be borrowed, however. Chats on

tries to put the blame on an in
nocent colored boy. In all these
adventures she is treated as
heroine by her mother and follow
ing of adoring males, who find her
the very personification of lovely in
nocence. Roy, on the other hand,
gets scant sympathy from any one
except her Intellectual father. That
is all there is to the story. Readers
will recognize certain familiarity
in the Glasgow pattern.
The scene of the book Is in a
Southern city, and the characters
are, as we are told, members of a
once great Southern family. The
plot, however, is little affected by
geography. 1t is a story which
might have happened anywhere. Miss
Glasgow, to be sure, indicates that
the wiping out of the old standards
of honor has something to do with
the unhappiness of her people. But
one doubts that. There have always
been Stanleys and Roys. They are
not peculiar to any time or country.

Big Old Sun

By Robert Faherty. NeU
York: G. P. Putnam'S Sons.
Down in the Florida keys, where
life for the underprivileged is
stark, indeed, Robert Faherty has
found a gripping tragedy revolv-
ing about five people and the only
three things in which they have
any particular interest-food, Shine
and the opposite sex.
Among these simple folk words
are as scarce as food. They have
little use for the former and little
of the latter to use. Mostly, there
are no outward signs of the emo
tions which boil so fiercely within
them, and yet the intenseness of
their quiet determination at times
electrifles as they push straight
toward what is an inevitable end.
The disturbing factor is Sylla
Noble, a voluptuous girl from Geor-
gia who came down to live with
Cap'n Luke and his sister, Miss Pen
ny, who in spite OF her So years
and shapelessness still has romantic
ideas concerning big, handsome IT.
year-old Deaver Joulters. Sylla is
"the girl" of Horace Mase, who
works for Cap'n Luke and lives with
the others in the Wind-beached
houseboat which serves as home.
But Sylla has no particular liking
for Horace. Instead, she is con-
stantly foraging around the key
looking for Deaver, the Conch boy;
for Deaver or ice-cold beer which is
the other great love of her life.
Miss Penny makes a great play
for Deaver, who responds not at
all to her advances. A fish-buyer,
who travels all over the area COL
lecting fish and leaving gossip,
moves in and out of the story ar
ranging meetings and otherwise
bringing matters to a climax-a
climax which finds two of the five
characters dead and Sylla moving
north in search of more beer and,
perhaps, more romance.
The descriptions of the alligator
and crocodile hunts are intensely
exciting, which, with the suspense
throughout the story, make this the
sort of book which is never laid
down until the last page is turned.
Big Old Sun" is not pleasant read
ing, but for descriptive writing, it
ranks among the best.
