Spring!
Grass Has Sprung

The first robin, or maybe the
first leaves to bud are the usual
harbingers Of spring almost every
where.
But Kennewick has q special
symbol of the spring season. One
that is solid and dependable and
really ushers the season in with
a high degree of official standing.
We refer, Of course, to the first
asparagus Of the year. On Mon
day morning, March IL, Ed Brand
brought US spear Of grass. It is
q fine specimen, straight and well
colored, at least an inch at the
base and ten inches long.
To avoid the probability of an
argument that this Is not the first,
we are not stating whose field Il
is from. Maybe is was yours.

On Avenue E

Ornamental street lighting,
sidewalks and curbs will soon be
a reality on Avenue c as a re-
suit Of meetings this week. Tues

be necessary to do the work at

laid.
The city will share the expense
of the lighting with property own

cost of walks and curbs.
Lights and walks will be placed
on both sides of the street from

If you ore buying a mo-

to ovoid are getting a too
small size; the incorrect
style for your figure, and
getting q dress with q small

inportont. The. shoulders in
your dress should cores

your hipIine measurement.
If the shouIderIine doesn't,
you can get q very distorted

for is instability. Also make
sure that the obove-the-

terinq to your type.
