flag and devotion to the ideals for
which it stands. Such an exhibition
OF pictures as that given last. Friday

at once the oldest and most celebrated
Of all the highways laid down by the
Romans. 1t linked the capital Of the
Caesars with all the important cen
tiers of southern Italy and was con-
structed or partly constructed under
the Censor Appius Claudius Caecus in
313 B. G. In view of the natural OBJ
stacles presented by the route the cost
of the enterprise must have been enor-

AS to color the dark red apples,
Winesaps. Jonathan, etc., are the
favorites in dry countries. The Vel
low Newtown is the best yellow apple
on the general market. This comes
from its excellent texture and flavor
and the fact that it is one of the best

The five varieties mentioned in
last two paragraphs above are prob
ably the best commercial varieties
that have been thoroughly tested
here. I think, however, that I will

For early apples I have planted
the Yellow Transparent, and for fall

D. A. R. ARRANGE PATRIOTIC
PROGRAM FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

uOVtirW VII OObOO6 OuIkOu6V
The local chapter of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution
have shown a most commendable
interest in the Kennewick children,
first by inaugurating the story hour
for children at the public library
Saturday afternoons, and later in
providing the patriotic lecture which
was given free to the pupils of the
public schools last Friday afternoon.
The lecture on "Our Flag" was
obtained from New York through
the interchangeable Bureau of Lee
lures of the National D. A. R. at
considerable expense to the local
chapter, and it was given in honor
of Washington's birthday. 1t was
written by Mrs. Donald Mclean,
formerly president of the National
Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, and was &C.
companied by lantern slide illustra-
tons. The teachers of the public
schools had also taken great interest
in preparing for the celebration by
arranging a program of songs and
drills.
The entire afternoon of Friday,
Feb. 81, was given to this program.
At one O'Clock all the pupils gathered
in the gymnasium of the high school,
those of the Washington school
marching from their building, pupils
from each room being led by a large
flag carried by two of their number.
Owing to the lack of room, the pub
lie was not invited to these exer-
cises, only the pupils and teachers
with the members of the local chap
ter of the D. A. R. being present.
The program was opened by a
Boy Scout Song" and my Own
United States" sung by all the pu-
pills. Then followed Soldier
Song" by thirty-six boys from the
lower grades and a very pretty drill
by the girls from the primary grades.
The singing was all admirably done
under the direction of Miss Shier.
The voices were accompanied by
Miss Showers on the piano and Miss
Burlingame on the violin. In the
boy Scout Song' violin accom-
paniments were also played by sew
eral of Miss Burlingame's pupils.
The lecture which was in expla-
nation Of the pictures thrown on
the screen, was read by Supt. M. S.
Lewis. The first picture shown was
that of Mrs. Mclean, the author of
the lecture. Then followed the pic
ture of our own flag. When this ap-
peared all rose and joined in sing
ing, The Star Spangled Banner"
the little children who were too
young to learn the words simply
cumming the air. Almost one hun
dred pictures in all were shown,
consisting of scenes from the early
history of our country, flags which
were famous in history because of
their connection with important
events; portraits of Washington,
John Paul Jones and others of Ameri-
ca's great men; buildings, like In
dependence Hall, where notable
events occurred. Then came the flag
of Cuba, the Peace Flag, which is

Rainbows That Can Change Sex.

In many parts of the world 1t is the
general belief that the rainbow has
the power to change sex. This queer
districts as South Africa and Norway
and China and Australia. The Zulus
have long folklore story of the young
man who was changed into wrinkled
old woman by touching the many hued
arch. The Scandinavian peasants have
a similar story, and in Greece they say
that anybody who runs against the end
of the rainbow will have his or her sex
instantly changed. In France and In
dia to pass under the rainbow has a
similar effect.

! FOR BUSY BUSINESS MEN.

Before diseharging an employee con-
slider his virtues. If he is prompt.
cheerful. clean, courteous. see If you
can't cure him of the habits you don't
like.
Ii you must find fault do not find it
with o~thers-find it with yourself. 1t is
just as easy. though perhaps not as in
teresting.
If your advertising does not bring
you business you need no further evil
dence that there is something wrong
with the advertising.
The public does not like to do bust
ness with the man who bores it with
tales of his personal tribulations. No
one ever gained popularity by telling
hard luck stories.
Be optimistic. but do not be so much
so as TO think that you can dispose of
any kind of goods that any travelling
man will sell You. Use pessimism III
buying and optimism in selling.

DISTRESSING RESULTS WHEN
BUYING FROM A CATALOGUE.
Many Are Disappointed With What
They Get From Mail Order
Houses.

There are limits to the possibilities
of making purchases from no better
guide than a catalogue picture from a
mail order house, and many must be
the disappointments resulting from 1t.
Suppose that the trusting woman's
eye is taken with the print of a gown
described by the optimistic recorder of
such things as Alice blue. 1t sounds
safe. Blue has always been her color.
and she fills out the blank.
Then comes the business of choosing
the hat that is to go with it and sup
plement its work of electrifying the
citizens of the hamlet in which she
lives. And of course there is a hat
that just suits. and the text promises
that it will be furnished in any n of

dentially Alice blue. Gloves, veil and

Timely Agricultural Topics
DRAINAGE BENEFITS SOIL
AND INCREASES PROFITS.
Advantages Of Process Pointed ou' ''
Department Of Agriculture *
pert In Bulletin.

The benefits Of drainage are reaolly
APPARENT to any intelligent observer
some of the most obvious results are
as follows:
II usually increases the yields and
profits of crops.
II makes lands that are uncertain In
production produce crops every year.
IT brings into cultivation lands other
wise worthless. Not only can swamp
lands be made tillable. but on farms
where there are places o wet to cui-
tivate drainage will improve the lana
and cause it to produce good crops.
Drainage improves the physical con
dition of the soil by making 1t more
graduated. porous and friable. Thus
stiff soils are more easily handled, the
plants have a greater feeding area n
the available moisture in the SOIL Is
increased. Soils also absorb more OF
a rainfall thereby decreasing erosion
and damage by floods.
Drainage warns the soil. The evap-
grafton of moisture by the sun requires
/ heat, which. if the excessive moisture
is removed by drainage, Is used IN
warming the soil.
Drainage aids in the preparation OF
land and the tillage of crops. Lana
! can be pIowed earlier in the spring and
is better pulverized. Crops can be
cultivated sooner after Il rain. and by
closing small bitches with tile drains
more improved machinery a be used
and the cost of cultivation decreased.
Drainage improves the health eondi-
tons. Perhaps there is no better illus
tration of this than the number OF
MOSQUITOES that were found In parts OF
Illinois and Iowa when first settled.
When the land was drained most or
the breeding places of the mosquitoes
we're removed and with them the con
! seuuent malaria.
Ii is not for lands too wet
for cultivation To produce when drain

necessary in order to save the entire
