It was brought out at the meet

the Courier-Reporter this week
says in part: as your business
for sale? If SO, please put TINS
card i'm an envelope and mail
to us"
The card was signed by a Cali
fornia investment firm.
Catch is that this particular card
was addressed to the Kennewick
liquor store.
The Courier-Reporter has fo~
warded the card to Governor Wall
gren with the following sugges-
ton: ~
"There is no need to involve
foreign money in this deal. Several
responsible people in Kennewick
are willing to offer a substantial
price for the enterprise. Only
string attached is that purchasers
suggest that the post office be
thrown in to boot.
"Inasmuch as the Kennewick
post office, in spite of tremendous
volume of business, is still little
more than a good hamburger stand
in size, the Courier-Reporter does
not feel that the request is un-
reasonable. Please reply at earliest
convenience"

Double Victory
{ or Church Team
Ai-Liqhis League

The most magnificent losing
streak in the history of Kenne-
wick was abruptly snapped Tues
day night when sweet victory
came at last to Church's luckless
softball team.
1t was a double victory. The
Eagles did not show up on sche-
dule, so the game. went to
Church's by default. But a vol
unteer team was formed to play
Church's and the team that had
not won game in three years
showed under the recruits 7 to
4. "
Church's came from behind to
win their victory after Garcia
scored for the Eagles in the first
inning. In the fourth, Smith
banged out a homer for Church's
to pace his team as they racked
up five runs for the inning.
The second game, between
Ray-D-Ant and Keolkers, was
called off because of rain. Both
games had been postponed Mon
day because of rain in Kenne-
wick, where only seven inches of
rainfall a year are recorded.
Wednesday night Rockers ran
circles around the Active club to
the tune of Is to S. Keolkers
scored five runs in the first in
ming on hits, walks and errors to
start the ball rolling. For Keol-
kers Stiffner socked home run
In the second, and Coin followed
his cue in the third. Home run
ners for the Active club were
Oswald, White and Jordan.
The other game Monday saw
Church get trampled by. Wilson
by a score of Is to S. Wallace
was Church's fair-haired boy
with his home run in the fifth
inning which scored three runs.
But Wilson's plodded along with
run or so each inning, finally
accommodating the total Of Is.
Ray-D-Ant walked by Churchs
easily Friday night when it rack
ed up five runs and held Churchs
scoreless. Sturgeon pitched to
Corteau for Ray-D-Ant while
Church battery was Chapman on
the hill and Schneider behind the
batter. White relieved Schneider
midway through the game.
In the second game Friday the
Eagles got past Rockers by the
score Of 8 to S. Helped out by
Appleyard's home run in the
second, the Eagles scored six
runs in that inning. Rockers had
gone out in front in the first
with four runs. Lechelt and
johnson clinched it for the Eagles
in the sixth with run apiece.
With the second. round Of
games two weeks old, here are
the standings of the teams.

Several farmers got started har-
By Mr.. Guy Travis

Several farmers got started har-
vesting last week, although a
couple of them were only cutting
roads around their fields. Don
Haworth was reported to be the
first to start threshing and said
the wheat was going around 20
bushels to the acre which is con-
sidered very good for the land
in the south part of this county,
and which as a rule does not
compare in yield to the average
fields farther north and east.
The oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Dowd had a part Of a
finger blown off by firecrack-
er during the week end.
Little Sidney Speck, youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Speck
fell and received cut on his
forehead which necessitated two
stitches to close the wound.
Howard Christen is SPENDING a
two weeks vacation at boys
camp at Clear Lake.
Rainfall Sunday night and
Monday morning reached tota,
of 81 inches. Farmers are not
anxious for rain, however, and
one old timer predicts there will
be lot of it this summer. He
suggests that the combines run
early and late, seven days a week
in order to take advantage of all
the dry weather they can.
Mary and Doris Heady enter
tanned last week at house party
