TERTAlN AT BANQUET

The banquet given to Alma Chap
ter No. 100 Order of the Eastern
Star Wednesday evening at the
Hotel kennewick stands the first of
it's kind in Kennewick. The unique
social event was attended by the
members of the order and a few
close friends of the host and hostess
and the guests were about fifty in
number. The chapter met at the
lodge room and marched in a body
to the hotel. After a short period
of visiting the company was ushered
into the magnificent dining room
which was nicely decorated for the
occasion, and were seated, and
course luncheon was served. The
supper, to which all did full JUS
tice, was creditable to the hotel
cuisine and service.
Mayor l.. E.. Johnson as toast
master, in few remarks intro
duced the literary program. Mr..
G. NJ. Annis first responded with
a beautifully worded and eloquent
talk having as his theme THE Up
per and Lower Walks of Life"
Carl Kitten, who just recently at
tanned his majority, outlined what
he would do If I Were a Boy
Again. The next toast was a
glowing tribute to the New Wo-
man" by Mr.. H. H. Humphrey in
which he paid loyal homage to wo-
manhood as represented tn the East
ern Star. Mr.. CARRIER, to whom
this subject was assigned, was de-
tained at home by illness.
c. O. Anderson was the next
speaker and gave a forceful talk up
on the "Order Of the Eastern Starr
The practice of its tenets called
forth the noblest principles of moral
ity, brothcrly love and self denial.
He gave illustrations from his own
experience showing the helpful and
cooperative spirit shown by the
members Of this order tho they were
of different races, language and con-
ditions. He introduced Mrs. c.. O.
Anderson to help him out' and
in few brief remarks the latter
called attention to the great sacri-
fees and services of the retiring
Worthy Matron, Mrs. Conway, in
the past year in promoting the
growth and effectiveness of the or
,, der. These concluded the stated
program but impromptu talks were
made by Mrs. l.. w. Soth, Scott q.
Henderson, J. Sercombe and l.. W.

HELLO SUGGESTIONS

A few suggestions that our local
telephone company would appreci-
ate. First comes our duty to the
operators. Let US not forget to be
kind and. considerate with these tel
ephone girls, answering thousands
of calls every day for all kinds of
people. Their works is exacting,
monotonous and nerve racking.
Some women are very rude and inn
patient with them and some men
use profane language to them.
Would you believe it?)
When asking for a number speak
each figure separate, like five, one,
three, instead of five thirteen. Then
the called party answers. Tell
your name. He has no other way
of knowing who you are unless he
is familiar with your voice. Re-
member to ring off when thru talk
ing, it is a great help to the opera
tors. Yes, and bear in mind not to
talk longer than two or three min.
utes, five minutes being long enough
for good manners. The other party
may have some duty very import
ant to attend to just then. If you
talk longer than three minutes on
the state line you will be charged
extra time.
When your telephone rings YOUR
call, answer by speaking your name,
residence Or store, thus, Mrs. (or
Miss Jones, Jones' residence or
Jones grocery, which ever the case
may be, omitting all the hello's or
who is this's.
He can readily comprehend the
advantage of this, for almost i'm
mediately thesparties are ready for
conversation. Exxs-r.s.
Talk directly int the trasp1itf
| ter. distinctly. Do not speak toS
loudly, no too low, either is vers
annoying to the one listening.
When you realize that the, opera
tors answer an average of two thous-
sand calls day you will realize how
greatly these efforts on your part
will be appreciated by all concerned
Signed by your humble servant,

Hunting For Justice.

Justice is of course loudly demanded
by every litigant in court Of law, but
it is u frequent intirmity of the human
mind to confuse justice with ones own
cause. The late Thomas 3. Reed. ac-
cording to u writer in Law Notes, used
to tell an amusing story to illustrate
this tendency
He was once retained by an enter
prising client to prosecute an action.
On talking with the plaintiffs wit
nesses Mr.. Reed found that their sto-
ries We're far from consistent, so he re-
ported the fact to his client and ad-
vised that the suit be dropped. The
client was somewhat perturbed. but
told the attorney he would have talk
with the witnesses and let him know
the next morning what he had decided
to do. True to his word. he dropped
in bright and early. wearing the cheer
full look of one who has fought the
good fight.
1--WE seen those witnesses" he en-
planned, land they say they must have
been mistaken when they talked with
you. They all see it alike now. I've
also seen some of the jurymen. and
they think I'll win. Now, If there's
such a thing as justice in law we can't
lose"
