Man Dressed As Weman
 Arrested While At Movie


 The strange case of a man em- ployed at the base who can e to town and there dressed up as a woman and appeared publicly on the streets and attended shows came to light this week with his arrest by city police
 His existence had been known for sometime but had been kept quiet purposely so he could be better apprehended. The first re- port came to the police from the ticket seller and usher of one of the theaters who felt sure the person who attended Sunday show about month ago was a man dressed as a woman. They reported to the police who kept 8 watch on the shows after that.
 Last Sunday the watch was rewarded He again appeared at one nf the local shows, bought 8 ticket and went in. Attendants recognized him and called the police who placed him under ar rest.
 At the time. according to DO lice, he wore a woman's dress seven slips, two pettlcoats, silk hosiery, nigh hee!ed shoes, hat with veil attached but up-raised, dark wig. and carried a wo- mans bag. They said he was also completely equipped with false eye ashes, wore makeup includ- ing lipstick and rouge, and on his hands wore a set of colored false fngernails.
 Subsequent investigation by city police and an intelligence officer of the naval air station re. vealed the fact he maintained 8 room in town where he kept the paraphernalia. Police said sales slips showed the clothing was purchased before his arr val here They also said Sunday was his usual day of operation.
 He was charged with disorder ly conduct. (There is no territor- ial regulation on impersonation. At the hearing before U. $. Com missioner c. c. Naughton, the defendant claimed no harm was intended by his acts and that wearing femine apparel was ar obsession. He was fined $50 anC costs and told the court he was leaving town.

town died. The hotel quit, but the
Conways continued to live in the
building. The store also faded out
of the picture and the Conways put
in small stock of goods in the de-
pot. Complaints made to the COM
pany caused the Conways to transfer
their small stock. which Mrs. Con-
way hauled, to a small building To-
Gated near where the Washington
Hardware store is now located, pos
sibly in the building now occupied
by Frank Lyons carpenter shop.
Investigation of the complaint
made to the N. P. officials finally
disclosed the fact that virtually all
the freight consigned to Kennewick
was to the Conway store and they
concluded that it was OK for the
Conways to use the depot, but be-
cause they had the new building
ready, they moved anyway * 2.

Observance Would
Aid State Industry

Declaring tn at "Washington's
great dairy industry is one of the
maii1stays of agriculture in this
state" Governor Langlie has issued
proclamation setting the month OF

health and make Americans strong
err"

health of our citizens is the first
necessity of a nation strong physi-
cally and mentally, and emphasized

milk aids the health Of people of all
ages.

Dairy Month would also. add sta
bility to the states leading agri-
cultural industry, Governor Langlie
said that farm income in Washing
ton from milk was approximately
thirty million dollars during 1910,
and that approximately 100000
Washington residents are dependent
upon this industry for their livli-
hood.

Saturday Last
Day to Vote
On AAA Deal
Chairman Explains
Project to C.. of C..
Members

About half OF the wheat growers
IN this end OF Benton County have
already voted upon the wheat al
lotment program. according to Fred
Wilson, chairman Of the Benton
County AAA Wheat Allotment
Committee. Saturday is the last day
Tor voting, and this county's only
polling place is at ProSser, Mr.. Will
son said.
Mr.. Wilson and Harry Fleming
OF Benton City, who have been
working on the plan in this county,
were guests Of the chamber OF COM
merce this noon and gave a short
resume OF how the plan Is outlined
to work. They are convinced that
unless the required two-thirds fay
orable vote Is received that the
price Of wheat will drop to below
cost OF production on account Of
the vast stores already on hand, and
considering the lack OF world mar
kets under wartime conditions.
% MT. Wilson said that Benton
county was steadily increasing its
wheat acreage, more than twenty
thousand acres OF new land going.
into production this year. This coun-
ty now has practically one hundred
thousand acres In wheat, with a crop
this year estimated at a million ana
a half bushels. About half OF this
tonnage is tributary to Rennewick.
He said that Benton county's av-
erage per acre production had been
rising in the past few years and now
just about equaled the national av-
erage. The national average Is 1871,
while Benton county's average Is 1877
bushels per acre. ... d. ..
He said that the State Of WASH
ington as whole would probably
vote in favor OF the measure, while
the wheat farmers In Benton coun-
ty would probably not benefit as
much by the passage OF the measure
as would other sections. -. ..

Quality is High,
Crop Not Damaged
By Wind or Rain

So far no damage has been done
to the cherry crop by the rains and
winds of the past few days. Dealers
predict that nearly as many cars Of
fruit will be shipped this year as in
the bumper crop of last year, al
though there are not nearly as
many cherries. The difference will
be in the greatly reduced cullage
and the much larger size of the
fruit. *
The Bing harvest will start this
weekend, but already there have
been considerable lei. shipments of
Tartarians. Some of these have
been shipped as far as Bismark and
into Oklahoma and repeat orders
have been received, r. ~
Fruit houses are preparing for
the pack to start on. Saturday. Small
crews are being started, with full
sized lists by the middle of the week.
AT the Y a crew Of forty will start
Saturday, with a full crew of about
300 by the middle of the week. 9th
er packing houses are preparing for
about the same proportions.
Price outlook is not too good, be-
cause Of the freakish season every
where. Upper valley orchards are
coming into the markets with this
section, which is usually ten days
to two weeks in advance of the up
per valley. Other sections ordin-
arily later than this, are also COM
ing into the markets with the local
crop. -. 49,. II. --..
Some contracting is being done at
seven cents for the inch size, with
a two cent drop for the smaller sizes.
Growers think the crop should bring
ten cents, with the advanced costs
and more prosperous markets.

Fruits company has finished the as
paragus pack and will begin the
peas, expecting to process about $50
tons. Following will be the baby lima
and string beans, with perhaps some
peaches and apricots later. -"

Mr.. Conway was district superin-

they came to Kennewick in 1885
largely because of a throat ailment
which had bothered Mrs. Conway.
Later, when the company offered to
transfer them, they refused to leave
because Mrs. Conway's health was
so much better here.
