Our school opened on Tuesday with a
full attendance, and Miss Nancy Glen
as teacher.
E. T. Mulroney is the engineer and
conductor of the ''kid wagon" again
this year.
The damp, cloudy weather has de-
layed haying for the last two weeks,
though 80 little rain has fallen that
there has been scarcely any damage
done. The third cutting is about all
up and some of the fourth cutting is
ready for the mower.
w. S. McCausland came down from
Walla Walla last week to drill another
we'll on his farm, and has his well-drill
ready and will start drilling on the 9Th.
He drilled one well four years ago, but
it does not furnish enough for all the
land he has. We expect he will strike
another flow as good as he did on the
Blalock fruit farm at Walla Walla.
DR.. E. w. Group, of Walla Walla,
was here the first of the week looking
after his farming interests.

A STORY ABOUT A JOURNEY

Last week Johnnie Jones had to 90 to
the present county seat and took a
Twenty" with him for expenses. as he
had always been in the habit of bring
ing home few things for the wife and
babies. When he reached Kennewick-
he had to pass thru Kennewick both
going and coming-he took account of
stock, that is, how much money he
could use and have enough for his hotel
bill and railroad ticket, and found that
this was the way he stood:
Ticket from Carley to Kennewick. 81. 95
Kennewick to Prosser 40
Hotel bill at g supper 30
Bus from depot to hotel. ....... rs
Hotel bill at Prosser. .... 200
Ticket from Prosser to Kennewick /. 90
Total. .......... ....... 81. so
AS he had not paid his bill at the hotel
at Kennewick, his bus fare, nor bought
his return ticket to Carley, which
would amount to 81 70, making a total
for expenses to and from the present
county seat, of 1920, we see he had
only balance of $3.50 with which to
buy things his family really needed.
It took 48hours to make the journey.
When he reached home he had a calico
dress for his wife and some calico for
the children, few things to eat that
were not obtainable nearer than Ken
newick; and remember. that he had
spent nothing for cigars nor drinks dur
ing the trip. His wife asked him where
the money had gone and when he told
her she did a little thinking.
= When they sat down to supper after
the chores were done she asked Johnnie
who he was going to vote for at the
coming primary election. Well, John
ME did not just exactly know who he
would vote for in one or two cases.
Then his wife said that she did not care
who got the nominations as she would
vote for one thing at the November
election, and that would be to have the
county seat moved to Kennewick.
johnnie said that he had fully made up
his mind to vote that way several
months ago, and although the public
spirited citizens at Prosser had tried to
convince him that it was to his inter-
ests to have it at Benton City, they
could not do so.
What seemed so hard for Johnnie to
understand was why Prosser people

THERE Is room in the Capitol at Wash
ingtOn, Just of the main corridor and
nearly opposite the Supreme Court chamber,
in which the members Of that august body
meet for luncheon daily at one o'clock when
the court is in session. The shutters OF the
window leading out on the balcony are
drawn. The table is spread. The highest
iudiciaricS of the land are boys again, II
rumor has it right, sans gown, sans rcsponsi-
bilitv, and sans dignity. If the walls have
ears and could talk, ii is said many a
"scrcamcr' would be repeated lust as it
came straight from the lips OF these astutc
Judges of the highest tribunal.
Occasionally, however, a choice wi,lici~m
leaks out through the sacred portals. Cen
orally il is at the expense OF one OF the mem
bcrs for they enjoy that sort especially.
The late Chief Justice Fuller was accorded
the honor OF being the best Storytcllcr, while
the late Justice Brewer was considered the
witticSt of the nine. The late Justice Harlan,
it seems, was inclined to monopolizC the con
vcrSation with lengthy narratives Of long
drives on the Chevy Chase Coli Club course
and sensational puts from the edge Of the
green. To him is attributed the classic
cffusion, Golf is the most bla>phcmouS game
ever invented
Not long ago Justice Harlan was playing
on the Chevy Chase links with a friend. In
driving from one OF the tees the ball hit a
COW in the mouth. As a rule COWS are not
allowed the liberty of the golf course; but
on this occasion the COW must have been
there. for Justice Harlan said that the only
conclusion left him, when the ball failed to
rcappcar. was that the COW had swallowed
it along with yawn.
The friend attempted 10 make the animal
disgorgc the sphere 10y pounding il on the
back. Bossy gazcd on in mild surprise at
this unusual procedure for a time and then
whiskcd her tail and took to her heels
straight for the next hole. More than that,
she Considerably dropped the ball on the
green only a few feet from il.

to come up. and then calmly holcd his ball.
The Justice followed suit.
