by the schools of Pasco and Ken

varied and interesting program.
Aloa Beecher, head of the music
department of the Univertisy of

high school auditorium, starting
promptly at 8. Those unable to
attend Wednesday night may hear
the same program at Pasco on
the following evening, April %.
Tickets at popular prices will be

Discover Bones of
Early Day Resident

A jaw bone and part of the
skull are on display this week in
The Courier-Reporter office. The
remainder of the skeleton to
whom these bones belonged are
scattered over the plot of ground
opposite the port district prop
erty. The bones were dug up
this week by H. N. Routh.
Judging from a total lack of
indications of dental work, it is
presumed that the bones are those
of an Indian, buried no one knows
how long ago. From the size of
the bones the owner must have
been huge man, although not as
large as would indicate that the
final resting place of Paul Bunyan
had been found.

War Bond Drive
Boys Down i'm
Benton County
Only small portion Of
quota has been SUBJ
Scribed so far

Benton county has fallen down
badly in the governments $13, 000,-
000, 900 Second War Loan Drive
according to E. c. Tweet, who is
in charge of the local campaign
Only about one-fourth of the quo.
ia has so far been raised. The
quota has been set at Sl75,OO0
with about $4,000 raised in this
end of the county and similar
amount in the Prosser district.
So far there has been no active
solicitation, Mr.. Tweet reports
people supposedly are well enough
informed on the proposition tc
make individual application fol
their share of the bonds. How.
ever, it appears that this is not
enough.
A feature of the drive is that
the Series E bond purchasers are
being urged to double their GUS
tomary purchases, for the dura-
ton of the drive at least. These
bonds bear interest at 200 and
cost rs percent of maturity value.
They are issued in amounts from
SIS to $1,000.
Organizations are being urged to
purchase the Series F bonds,
ranging from SIS to $4,000 in
amounts, bearing interest at 2.53
percent.
Business and professional men
are asked to buy the 2k % Treas
ury bonds. These range from
$500 to a million dollars, are me-
gotiable and are listed on the
stock exchange. Thus the secur-
tiles may be used for emergencies,
taxes, etc., upon demand.
Buy bonds now-don't wait to
be coaxed. The need is imme-
date.

Theater Collects $235.40
For Red Cross Drive

The Kennewick Red Cross drive
was given substantial boost this
week when Mgr. H. Krack of the
local Roxy Theater presented 1t.
Col. Kathryn Ripley with a check
for S235.40. This money had

about 25 percent over the budget
set for this district.

Labor emergency exists in
Benton County. Every man.

save the asparagus crop. This
crop is essential in national
food production program. City
Of Kennewick has been asked
TO cooperate 10 the fullest ex-
tent in this emergency. Every

is extremely urgent. Request
this message be broadcast over

This message was sent this
afternoon to radio station KHQ
in Spokane and KUJ in Walla

in the surrounding area. It was
part Of the program being adopted
to secure immediate assistance
with the harvesting of the aspara-
gus crop which is coming on far
more rapidly than had been an
ticipated. AS a result Of the I'M
usually warm weather of the past
few days the grass has come on
so fast that only about half the
patches were cut this morning. A
days delay creates a second class
product, so il is vital that patches
be covered each day.
An appeal was made to the
chamber of commerce this noon
by the agricultural department
for cooperation from the business
men of Kennewick. The COM
mittee asked that the stores, start
ing Monday morning, delay their
opening until eleven, keeping open
later in the evening to care for
the farmers purchases after they
have brought in their product i'm
the late afternoon.
As convenience to the COM
munity, the local newspaper office
is to be used as an employment
office during the emergency A
members of the US. Employment
service will be here each morning
from $50 until seven and again
in the afternoon at three o'clock.
1t is requested that all growers
wishing labor make their needs
known at this office and that a
fifty-cent deposit made for each
cutter is desired. This deposit
will be given to the cutter If the
grower does not take the worker,
but will be refunded IL the cutter
is hired.
In asking for labor, fhe farm
ers should give the following
information: His name. Local
ton. phone number. acreage
number Of cutters needed, time
70 report. number Of hours need
ed and If the transportation Is
to be supplied.
To assist in the labor shortage,
the schools have advanced the
opening hour to eleven o'clock i'm
the morning to permit the chill
dren to cut grass in the mornings.
have also been
out for similar program
in the Pasco schools, for the group
to work in the patches on this
side of the river. This coopera-
ton with the Pasco schools is
greatly appreciated by those hav-
ing the work in charge.

The merry wives of Hollywood
aren't so merry any more-and
