SCHOOL NOTES

The high school "Round-U Up" which
has been postponed a number of times.
will take place this friday evening
in the gymnasium. As observed before.
there will be wrestling and boxing
matches and basket ball game be-
tween the school team and the Kenne-
wick town team. A good crowd is ex-
pected.
A goodly number Of rooters accom-
panied the basket ball team to Rich
land last Wednesday evening for the
first game of the season. The sopho-
mores of the Kennewick high played
against the Freshman Sophomore class
team of Richland. The Kennewick bows
started off the game by making the
first basket. The first half ended with
the score of 10-11 in favor of Richland.
During the second period of the game.
the Richland team gradually gained.
until the end of the half. The score
stood 1926 in their favor. All the
boys play an excellent game, espe ciaIly
Lacey Squibb, who kept his forward
from making any field baskets what
soever. Games are being arranged
with Sunnyside, Mabton and other
towns. A complete schedule will be
ready next week.
The Juniors will give the next pro-
gram Of the series which the literary
and music committees have planned.
This will be in the nature of Christ
mas program, with papers on the OBJ
servation of the Holy Day in various
nations, recitations and appropriate
music, with perhaps selection on the
Victrola which has lately been pur-
chased for the school. Quite a bit of
curiosity has been aroused concerning
song the class will sing. If you want
to know all about it, you had better be
present. The date and details of the
program will be announced later.

AS q maLter OF course, With only
one contest against the ticket nomi-
mated at the primary, Tuesdays
municipal election was but an en-
dorsement of the choices of a month
ago.
The single contest was for coun-
cilmanic 'honors in the third ward
where there had occurred a tie vote
between Mr.. Olbrich an Mr.. CARRIER
in the primary. Olbrich won, by
lot, the right to have his name ap-
pear on the ballot and, defeated
CARRIER in the second race by a safe
margin.
OF the 405 votes cast, Richardson
received 318, Huntington 357, Hol-
comb 3O2, Taylor 355, johnson 365.
Sercomb polled 1z5 in the first ward ,
Vibber 1873 in the second, Olbrich GA
and CARRIER SO in the third.
The percentage of "fool' voting
was unusually high, no less than
twelve people getting from one to
thirty votes for mayor. This shows
that most people had sized the elec-
tion up for just what it is-a sense
less waste of time and expense
and used the occasion to make a
farce of their ballOting.

$50 THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW"

Every good loyal newspaper urges
its readers to confine their buying to
the local merchants and in return the
publisher is entitled to the support
of the business men who should pat
ronize the advertising columns of
the paper. Most publishers are local
boosters, but not all of them are
accorded the support they deserve.
Some wise guys" can congregate in
blacksmith shop and dope out the
information that one paper is the
tool of wiley politicians, while the
other is the mouthpiece of grasp
ing corporation, then throw their
copies of the local paper back into
the postoffice marked refused, with
one or two years back subscriptions
due the publisher, and feel they are
doing service to the community,
while the paper goes on boosting and
building up the town and country for
the benefit of these same grouches,
who, perhaps, haven't done as much
for the community in lifetime as
the newspaper does in one issue.
The price of subscription is not suf-
ficient to pay for the publication of
any weekly newspaper. The publish
er makes his money by selling adver-
tising space and job printing. 1t is
a we'll known fact that mail order
houses get their business through ad-
vertising, and we believe that home
merchants and dealers would get just
as good results from the placing OF
their ads in the home paper. The
price of advertising rates to out-of-
town advertisers Is always quoted at
the highest regular rates, AND a spec
chant and dealer for the purpose Of
inducing people to trade at home. At
the same time. the publisher is well
aware of the fact that he cam sell
space to advertisers out OF town
which would draw trade from the
home merchants.
The newspaper Is acknowledged as
a staple line of business and Is en-
Titled to the support of the commun-
ity in which II circulates. The pub
Usher OF the paper has space to sell
and II he cannot sell it at home. he
must sell 1t out Of town.
Every business house should have
some kind of announcement in this
paper. showing the people they are
in business and the publicity of their
will inform the pub
lie of the buying and selling capacity
of the town. The Arvada Sun.

Big Demand for the Weekly
News Letter.
Department Of Agriculture Embarrass.
Cd by Growth In PopuIarity-Look-
Ing for Some Way to ~sIde
step" Without Hurting Any
Ones Feelings.

Washington.-Again the department
Of agriculture is suffering from an ex-
cess of popularity. The last time 1t
ran into an embarrassment of this
sort was when the past spring 1t is-
sued its now famous bird book"
which was manual Of the common
farm and orchard birds of interest to
farmers. There WAS such a shoal of
requests for copies that the depart
ment has never been able to catch up
with the requests.
This time 1t is in connection with
the :weekly news letter" that Secre
sort of compensation to the $4,000
crop correspondents who get no other
reward for their services. The first
issue of this letter has just been put
out. 1t consists of about 1900 words
of typewriting. giving in popular Ian
guage and paragraph form summaries
Of bulletins and other things Of i'm
mediate interest to agriculturists.
The intention was to get out an edi-
ton just large enough to supply the
correspondents. The first number con-
tanned paragraphs about investiga-
tions into seed adulteration, damage
to the market value of hides by the
cattle tick. action against misbranded
insecticides, etc., of direct interest to
farmers. There was an immediate
flood of applications for the letter
from country papers and besides other
things a request that a copy be sent
to each Of the $4,000 postoffices for
posting for the benefit of visitors.
All this was quite complimentary,
but the appropriation for white paper
| alone to meet such demand was too
much of drain, and the mechanical
facilities for printing and mailing all
the copies were entirely inadequate.
So the department is now looking
around for some way to sidestep grace
fully without hurting any ones feel
| ings.
