the time came to lay plans for
a Sixth Annual Grape Carnival.
The matter was taken up by the
Commercial club. There was a
little talk pro and con, mostly
"con." Then somebody made a
motion that the grape carnival
be shelved.. There were some in
different ayes, a scattering mo-
or two, and the grape carnival
was placed languidly on the
shelf. Later there was a mild
protest from the Valley club, and
the carnival question was recon-
sidered. There was some more
talk, some more Indifferent ayes,
some more scattering noes and
again the grape carnival was
"sat" on the shelf and this time
| it had glue on it's sitter"
A few more months rolled by.
The weather began to warm up.
It came time to think about cele-
brating the Fourth of July.
Somebody suggested that we
hadn't celebrated for a year or
two and maybe we could shoot
off a few fire crackers. Then
somebody yawned, another one
stretched and the meeting adj
journed.
A few more weeks rolled by.
The weather waxed warmer,
the roads grew dustier and the
times sleeper. A circus, fore
run by some screaming bill
boards, unloaded prize-fghter,
wrestler, giraffe and a mon
key in Pasco. Then we awoke.
We split the kindling the night
before, hurried up breakfast an
hour, hustled thru the morning
work, made a collar-wilting run
to catch the special train or
hung onto the running board Of
some friends automobile as it
sped to the ferry. We were
well paid for the effort for we
arrived in Pasco a full hour
ahead of the parade and before
the caliope tuned up, the wife
had time to pick out her new
summer hat, bought a pair of
shoes for, Maggie, some light
weight underwear for Eddie and
the cutest new rattle for the
baby.
After the parade we had
lunch. We took in the concert
after the big show and it was so
late then that it was hardly
worth while to come home, SO
we decided to make a day of it.
It was awfully hot and we all
went down to the soda fountain
for some ice cream and cold
drinks. In the evening we had
dinner at the hotel and went to
the movies afterwards.
It certainly was a big day and
besides all the fun, the wife got
a lot of shopping done and dur
ing the afternoon we had time
to run up to the dentists and
get that tooth filled that had
been aching all summer. We
spent more money that we had
intended to, but after all we
could afford to go little strong
as we had stayed at home the
Fourth and there wasn't going
to be any grape carnival.
Some more months went by,
the weather became colder, win
ter set in and it came time to
make plans for Christmas. Last
year there was a community
Christmas tree. 1t was gotten up
on short notice and we didn't
have time to make preparations
to pull it off as it should have
been. We resolved, however, that
another year we would begin
earlier and do the job up right.

More and more. the system of
public school education is becom-
ing of a practical nature. More
and more the young people are
being taught those things which
they may apply to the everyday
affairs of life. We read this week
that the girls of one of the
grades in the local schools, i'm
their study of Domestic Art, are
getting practical ideas by visit
ing different homes in the city.
For instance at one home they
studied bed room furnishings
and were given a practical DEM
onstration in bed-making. This
is education of the right sort
and we trust that the class will
not be given passing grades un-
til the young ladies have been
brought to the editors home
(sometime when the wife is
there and the editor isn't) and
be given a practical demonstra-
ton in kindling-splitting and
fire-building. Now here is one
phase of domestic art which
deals with fundamentals and
goes down deep to the very vi
tails of domestic life. mo wife
is thoroly domesticated until she
splits the kindlings and builds
the fires). In fact, this is the
very foundation upon which do
nestle tranquility is builded or
crumbles. 1t is a sad common
tary, however, upon the educa-
tional system of the last decade,
that many a young girl has been
turned out of high school with
no knowledge of nor inclination
for this basic art. Humanity is
indeed deeply indebted to mod
ern education. when the girls
come they will find the axe in
the lower left hand corner of the
basement and the -kindling ma
terial across the alley in the
neighbor's back yard.

Some of these days we may
awake to find that we have just
naturally gone by default. The
community Christmas tree isn't
much. Last year it required a

haps did not gladden. the hearts
of any needy children who other
wise would have been deprived
of any Christmas cheer. But it
Jared us just a little out Of the
rut. The songs of the children
broke in pleasantly upon the
monotone. The twinkling lights
added just a little sparkle, a lit
tie variety, a little life ard con-
tributed just a little, surely, to
the good cheer of the holiday
season. But above all the tree
was a momentary target toward
which community interest and
community effort could be di-
rected. 1t was something. It
wasn't a blank. It wasn't going
by default.
Kennewick's history is replete
with instances of a fine public
spirit. No town ever had a more
loyal lot Of citizens. No town of
equal size and years has a more
splendid record for successful
community enterprises or virile,
community spirit. But the 81
lence of our present community
life has been so prolonged as to
become oppressive and the mon
otony of Indifference and mac
ton has been so pronounced as
to become ominous.
To thrive, community spirit
must be given exercise-it must
be let play as well as made to
work. Disuse renders it stale
dry-rots its fabric-and leaves
the community to lead a sort of
tumble weed existence which
leads anywhere but to a place
on the map.

ALBANIAN PORTS
ARE IMPORTANT
OCCUPATION BY AUSTRIAN
FORCES OF CENTERs POSSESS
ING GREAT ECONOMIC M
PORTANCE IN EXPORT TRADE.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Sofia, Bulgaria, May 2s.-The oc-
cupation by the Austro- Hungarians of
Durazzo and their efforts to gain
possession of Avlona, has called at
tention to the commercial Importance
of these two Albanian ports. Both
have in recent years enjoyed prosper
ity, despite the fact that the political
and economic conditions in Albania
were not the best Exports and Inn
ports of Durazzo had in 1918, a value
of 100000 francs, but fell in 1914,
owing to the war, to 7,1o0,o 900 francs.
The total port traffic of Avlona in
1913 was 100000 francs. In 1914
this fell to 100000 francs
Durazzo imports iron, steel, coal,
textiles, machinery, arms and ammu-
milton, rice, wine and tropical fruits,
the factory products coming almost
entirely from Austria, while the last
three items constitute the bulk of the
Italian trade. Exported are lumber,
leguminous cereals, eggs, skins and
olive oil, reaching in 1918 a total
value Of 100000 francs, Of which II
per cent went to Austria and % per
cent to Italy, the remainder going
elsewhere.
Avlona's trade is of about the same
character, though in this case the
Italian and Austrian interests are on
nearly the same footing.
Albania has virtually no industries,
In the two years preceding the out
break Of the war the attempt was
made to develop the country in this
respect. Several small factories were
established but closed when the wal
started. Near Durazzo several brick
yards are still in operation, as are
also few small lumber mills. Avlona
has some oil presses, and an asphalt
mine near Selenitza, who product was
formerly shipped to Trieste, Hamburg
and Rotterdam.
If the Austro-Hungarians captured
