DIR. F. C. Robinson, of Walla Walla,
has traded a tract Of land which he
owned north of town for the old James
Doyle tract near the F. A. Friermond
ranch, which is considered to be one
of the finest hereabouts. 1t is now
being planted to alfalfa and straw
berries.
Geo. Anderson, of Kennewick, was a
visitor in this district this week, called
here on account of the death of his
father-in-law, Henry Bahr. Mr.. An
derson was former resident of Rich
land, being at one time financially in
terested in the old Richland Trading
company.
Friday evening, March IL, parties
having the financial end of the base
ball interests to look after here will
give an auction basket party and a
dance in Anon hall. There is the
making of good ball team here and
if given the proper financial assist
ance should create something to vary
the monotony this season.
The annual spring cleaning of the
bitches of the Horn Rapids Irrigation
company was completed this week,
and the water will be turned into the
high line about the 18th Of this month.
This annual getting ready is quite
job. This year it took three weeks
to finish the work, with from 10 to 25
men on the job all the time, and at
one period there were as many as %
teams employed.
For the meeting for men only at
the Methodist church next Sunday
afternoon, Pastor Erwin announces
as his subject "The Chronic Crouch. 7"
There may be men in this class in
Richland, if so, it is hoped they will
be in attendance and "see themselves
as others see them" If not in that
class solemn warning may prevent
a lifelong misery.

The Ladies Aid of the M. E. church

The Ladies' Aid of the M. E. church
announce an Old Maids Convention
to be held some time in April, the date
to be made known later. Although it
was not generally known that there
were such things as old maids in Rich
land it is good advice for everybody
to save up their dimes SO that they
can be there when the ladies put on
this stunt. It is generally known
fact that everything they tackle is a
success and a fun-maker from start
to finish. Mesdames Ruth, O'Connell
and Weinenga have the affair in hand,
and as these ladies are all able organ
izers there is no doubt of the ultimate
success of the convention both from
monetary standpoint and that of a
general good time.

Mitchell, neighbor, had called and
Knocked at his door the evening be-
fore and left, thinking he was away
from home.
Upon seeing that the man was dead,
and from evidences that he had been
dead for some time, Mr.. O'Brien's first
though was for the stock, and on go
ing to the barn found them in de-
nlorable condition from want of food
and water.
An examination by DR.. C. D. Hopper
brought out that the immediate cause
Of death was probably hemorrhage
Of the lungs.
Mr.. Bahr's wife died here about two
years ago. He has one child living,
Mrs. Geo. Anderson, now residing in
Kennewick, with whom he had been
expecting to live after this seasons
ranch work was through, as he had
told some of his friends they were
strong in urging him to not live alone

deeply as he was an officer and a
very active member of the body and

Ward TO Captain Team
The NAVY On Gridlron

Alta meeting of the members of the
Naval Academy football squad held
Monday evening Clarence o Ward,
who played left tackle during the past
season, was elected captain for 1916.
Ward Frequently csptained the team
during the absence from the game of
Captain Miles. He has played for
three years, but was only considered
a regular tackle during the past sea-
son.
Wsrd is probably the most promi-
nent athlete in the Academy. Resides
playing on the football team be 4
member of the Academy eight and . {
the wrestling team. For two years
he has re resented the Academy n the
light heavy class with great success.
OF much interest IN connection
with his election as captain OF the
football am is the fact that Ward
was appointed from the enlisted ranks
of the Navy. The regard in which ne
is held by the other midshipmen is
still further shown by the fact that he
has been elected president of his class,
which graduates from the Academy in
1917.

whole school year the minimum of OPP
position is likely to be encountered
The mistake that parents and school
authorities have made, it seems to me
is not in recognizing the indispensable
necessity Of intoxicating the school
going habit in the younger children.
AS they grow older and become able
to take up part of the burden of the
family in making livelihood, the nat
ural and really conscientious tendency
is to encourage them in turning from
the public schools TO wage-earning, or
assistance to their elders. The brief
and irregular attendance in the coun-
try districts of many children who
have passed twelve years of age is
neither greatly helpful to them nor
worth the standing expense which
their possible presence in schools pla-
ces upon the public revenues, and the
less training they have had in the pre-
vious years the more difficult it is for
them TO be taught with advantage.
The public school system for years
TO come must do its best and lasting
grades, and the eight Years sought to
be covered by the present school at
tendance law are the ones in which
regular attendance throughout the
school year would be required with all
work in the elementary and grammar
necessary rigidness. ii pupils get sew
en- years schooling they and their pa
rents will be more anxious that they
complete the eighth and they Will soon
learn that no hit-and-miss, off-and-on
going to school" will enable pupils to
make the grades, but that faithful
and regular, attendance is required.
AS the situation now stands. it might
be well to say, scholars are often en-
rolled who take two or three years to
pass from one grade TO the next higher.
reflection upon the public school sys-
tenn that is nearly always due to non
attendance. Nor are the children to
be greatly blamed for they have pa
rental permission or neglect or lack
of control as an excuse. A strong
Statewide compulsory attendance law
and the word compulsory need no
longer be SHE'D at-would keep these
children in school and would develop
greater efficiency in the schools.
Although Anne Arundel was one Of
the six counties exempted from the
optional" act of 1912, its School Board
and ] believe its people as a whole,
are ready now for such departure
Under difficulties of particular local
moment the schools of this county have
been carried forward, the system gain
ing in strength year by year. and there
is much in the work of this and former
boards to commend. / know this coun-
ty as far as can reasonably be expect
ed with the resources and problems
it has, viii keep pace in educational
progress.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY
AT OKLAHOMA TERRACE.
Entrance Affected at Home of Lieut..
Wiekham- Burglar Frightened
OFF by Screams of Young
Lady.

On Saturday night the home of Lieut.
William c. Wickham. U. S ~, at No
Oklahoma Terrace. was entered by a
burglar. who made his escape with
out being identified
The family had retired. when Mrs.
Wickham's sister, Miss Jane Hamil-
ton Miller. of Baltimore. heard a noise
downstairs. and went to investigate.
Miss Miller had scarcely descended the
stairs when she was grabbed by man
and her screams aroused Lieutenant
Wickham who FASTENED TO her relief.
At Miss Miller's screams the man
was frightened of, and made his es-
cape through the window by which he
had entered. jumping from the porch
to the sidewalk In the darkness. and
being somewhat nearsighted, Miss
Miller could not tell whether her as
sailant was a eolored or white man.
The burglar affected an entrance
through window in the dining-room
although both Lieutenant Wickham
and Miss Miller had tried all the win
dows before the family had gone up
stairs for the night, and this partic-
ular one is known to have been locked
with the rest. There was no sign Of
tools having been used, and it is posi-
bic the window may have been shaken
to loosen the lock. which might not
have been securely fastened.
Nothing was missing in the house
and it is thought that the man had
scarcely entered before Miss Miller
heard the noise and went to investi-
gate the cause. That the man did not
choke or otherwise injure Miss Miller
Is a marvel, but her screams frighten-
ed him to make a quick escape.
Housekeepers,e especially at this time
in the year, cannot be too careful in
locking up for the night The police
are on the scent of the housebreaker
and believe they have a clue.
