 George M. Cohan never lretted much about criticism. He said that the few critical shoves he received were merely, an anti-climax to the whitening criticism he received from a singer when he was ten- year old vaudevillian. George fin- ished his work on Saturday evening and excitedly opened his pay en- velope. He didn't always know what the management was going to pay him. Conan discovered just SIX dollars Its a raw deal. Albee said he would give me what I was worth, and he hands me six dol lars"
 The singer wasn't very Sympa- thetic, merely asking: What's the extra dollar for?"
 This Mark Twain classic probably appeared here before. But like all classics it rates encores Mark was . dowager's guest at an opera. i Throughout the performance she kept up 8 steady barrage of dull chatter, while Twain sizzled :. At the end of the opera, she gushed {-"Oh, my dear MT. Twain. I do SO want you to be with us next week. I'm certain you will enjoy yourself. The opera will be "Tosca :" | Twain bowed and replied: -Charmed, I'm sure. I've never heard Nou in that!"
 ! Some years ago King George and the Quene went to the theater with their two young daughters. During the play member of the party whispered to one of the young girls: T hope the little laoy is enjoying herself" The young ster snapped: T am not little lady. I am Princess Margaret" | Overhearing the conversation, the wise and gracious Queen turned and said: "She is quite right. She is not little lady-but we hope to make her one"

and Thomas B. Hill, secretary Of
the Washington State Reclamation
Association spent Sunday in Ken
newick inspecting the proposed
addition to the Highlands Irriga-
ton project.
They were taken on tour Of the
project by members Of the Ken

mittee and were considerably inn
pressed with its possibilities. They
assured local men that they would
do all they could to help speed
the project to completion.
Mrs. Thompson and Mr.. and
Mrs. Harold Quick came with the
party. The women were enter
tanned here during the afternoon
by a group Of wives Of committee
members and all joined later for
a dinner at the Richland recrea-
ton hall.

Atomic BoInbers
May Enter W.
Baseball League

The Atomic Bombers" might
be team entered in the Western
International baseball league.
Plans are being studied to enter
such a team in the league repre-
senting Kennewick, Pasco and
Richland. A telephone call Sum
day to League President Robert
Abel in Tacoma started the idea.
Correspondence is being carried
on between the league and Dick
Rector, secretary of the Kenne-
wick Chamber of Commerce, to
work out the details.
Four teams now hold franchises
and five new applications for the
four remaining spots are being
considered.
The league was suspended for
the duration because Of player
shortages and transportation diff
culties.
It is felt that with the proba-
bility Of a large number Of dam
construction workers in the area
next year as well as the steadily
growing population some organic
ed form of entertainment will be
desirable.
The field to be used and other
matters will require considerable
study.

class three land q q good as class
one.
''There IL an affinity between
good farmers and good land" Mr..
Maupin said. Good land attracts
the better farmers.
Both speakers stressed the fact
that the project can be put into
production In a very short time.
A crop could be produced In 1o47
IL It Is started by early spring.
In answer to q question Mr.. Fyfe
stated that the land was owned
largely by the Kennewick lrTiga-
ton district and the N. p. rail-
road. Some Il owned BY the state
and about . per cent Il privately
owned. Speculation viii be RICHLY
controlled. When the original con-
tract was written on the land q
number Of years ago Il was the
first contract to include m anti
speculation clause.
Water on the entire project viii
probably be provided for IS per
acre.
Crop reports show that the Ken
newick area produces better than
$500 per acre average. This 10 ex-
ceeded only by highly specialized
farming in small areas.
In pointing to the future, Mr..
Maupin said that there are nearly
200 commercial crops grown here.
"There is almost no opportunity
for loss" he said. There have been
no SURPRISES of Kennewick crops,
except for distribution failures.
Beyond that he said there Is q
broad field just being opened up
for the use Of chemical processes
for farm crops.

City Council
Studies 1916
Budget Figures

At the Tuesday night meeting
of the City Council, one of the
toughest assignments of the year
was tackled. That is the job Of
figuring out the 1916 budget: A
preliminary budget was adopted.
It totals sos, 626.50. OF that
amount current expenses call for
$74, 151.75; street fund, $24, 954.75;
parking meter fund, $500. Esti-
mated receipts will reach $42, 281.
That will leave So, 345.5O to be
raised by taxation.
The sewer revenue fund Is con-
sidered exclusive of these figures.
The complete estimated budget
appears in this issue. A public
hearing will be held at the City
Hall on Monday, Oct. ! for the
purpose Of fixing the final bud
get. Any taxpayer may appear
and be heard at that time.
Completion of sidewalks on the
north side of Kennewick Avenue
with curbs on both sides OF the
street west from the canal to
the city limits is imminent. The
work will be done by the city
under local Improvement dis
trict plan.
Costs will be pro-rated to the
property owners on a basis OF
front footage:: A petition bearing
the names Of a large majority
of the property owners involved
was presented to the City council
Tuesday night. The plan will be
given immediate attention.
The proposed airport concession
was thoroughly discussed. Herb
Henne is seeking the lease which
will give him exclusive rights
to operate a flying school on the
city airport and to provide other
commercial facilities.
The lease provides that the city
make improvements. These would
be to runways specifically as the
city is most interested in develop
ing an adequate field. It would
permit the city to lease services
and to allocate space to airlines.
It is mandatory that private planes
yield the right Of way to airlines.
Main purpose Of the plan is to
provide the greatest amount Of
development possible to the air
port. The lease il being given
further study.
A resolution was endorsed to
request the county commissioners
to vacate the road which bisects
the airport. The Chamber Of
Commerce recently took similar
action.

it about 6 inches high is wheeled
under the canvas spout which,
brings the hot pulp from the set
Ting tanks ON the floor above.
A pressing cloth is placed over
the tray to form lining, and pulp
is allowed to flow in to q depth
of about four inches. Then the
overhanging edges Of the cloth
are brought over the top much
the same as the top crust on q pie,
and a wooden frame Is placed
on top of the layer. On goes an
other pressing cloth, and another
layer of pulp. This process 81
completed only when the cheese"
is about 6 feet high, q full load
for the press. It Is then wheeled
along the track and into the press.
80 Minute Process
Once in the press, the plug Is
removed from the lower tray and
the pipes running to the pasteur-
izers are connected to the outlet.
Then comes the squeeze. For thir-
ty minutes the huge press clamps
down on the cheese, COMPRISING
it to one-third its former height,
and wringing from the pulp the
200 gallons Of juice that it con-
tains. When removed from the
press, the skins, seeds and resi-
due are 50 tightly pressed togeth-
er that the whole block Is i'm
mersed in water to loosen the mass
so that the pressing cloths can be
retrieved and laundered for later
use, and the residue of the fruit
discarded. The trays and racks
are scrubbed by q machine that
removes all remains of the pulp,
making them ready for use again
also.
There is no practical use for
either the stems or the "mat"
which is the name given the resi-
due of pressing. Both have high
acid content, and their use for
fertilizer would make soil too sour
for growing good crops.
The juice which has passed on
to the pasteurizer e there heated
to 40 degrees and held there for
a specified time to remove all
bacteria. After pasteurization
it is piped to the first bottling
room.
