LIVE WIRE SPARKS

As long as we can remember there
has been children's day; for years
there has been mothers day, and
even fathers day is now no longer u
novelty, but it has remained for the
Live Wires to look out for the bache-
lors. Last Christmas, our S. o. S.
cali brought forth noble responses,
but looking over the sizes and shapes
of our large colony of bachelors, we
are convinced that annual relief is
far insufficient. and we have therefore
determined to call Bachelors Day
occasionally. It is not our intention
to take the part of bachelors who are
living with their mothers or sisters,
or who are similarly provided for,
quite the contrary, for we want to
hep any widowers or married men
who are forced to prepare their own
means Of sustenance, and they will be
classed as bachelors. Now, therefore,
thru the authority vested in us to do
and say what we please, we proclaim
Sunday, July 23rd to be Bachelors
Day, and we request all the residents
of the lower valley to observe it by
asking some poor, weary, lonely, hum
cry bachelor to dinner. All good
grangers and all loyal Live Wires
are expected to do their best to make
the day success. Speak up early so
you won't be left out. We are pub
fishing a list of some of the needy
ones in our immediate neighborhood
at the risk of giving ofense by omit
ting deserving bachelors with whom
we are not acquainted, and it is our
wish that if any such are found, the
finder will call up 42x3 and make
known the discovery so we can add
it to next weeks list. Now just be-
cause John Storland and Bob Perkins
have telephones, don't everyone rush
after them first, for there are lots
more better looking ones, and, surely,
none hungrier.

gives her age as AZ. He knows she
perjured herself, but inasmuch as he
can't figure out how she gains any
thing by it, he is inclined to let it pass.
The northwest division of the par
ent-teachers' association will meet
with Mrs. A. S. Goss, next Wednes-
day afternoon, July 10, and the sew
ing club of the girls under IL years
will meet at Mrs. Goss' home We'd

lunches, prepared to have picnic and
stay all day.
The Ladies' Aid will plan for their
ice cream social today Thursday,
but it will be too late to announce in
the paper. Anyone can find out the
time and place by calling Mrs. Te-
walt, AKA. s4& @s&. ~
The political pot is just about boil
ing now. Most of those who heard the
people calling them admit now that
they were mistaken in the sound OF
the voice, and the race has boiled
down to less than 60 candidates for
county commissioner, while the can
didates who wish to represent us in
the legislature are even fewer in num-
Der. The other county Offices have not
attracted great deal of attention.
The Kennewick commercial club, and
the Finley grange, the two most in
fluential organizations in the lower
valley are each non-partisan, but the
members, when they get together,
discuss freely the merits of the var
ious candidates, and the indications
are that the members of the organiza-
lions will have pretty clear idea as
to the candidates fitness long before
the primaries. The grangers appear
to be strong for township organization
but the question has never been de-
bated or put to vote in the local or
der. This doesn't seem that they are
asleep at the switch, for they are
studying the question seriously and
expect to pull off debate on it be-
fore very long.
Glen Smith admits eating Is dishes
of ice cream on the Fourth, but one
of the counter jumpers says he had IL
after he began to check him up, and
he didn't start counting until after
two o'clock.
Curious Finleyites who have been
wondering why F. T. Clark has been
painting up all the fence posts and
wood piles in the neighborhood will
be relieved to know that he is just
practicing up preparatory to painting
sign on the store for Ed. Angel.
It is Rumored that C. C. Cantwell
and E. E. Toothaker are going into
partnership in the dairy business.
It is Rumored that Nip has already

little over-confident.
It is Rumored that there will be 9
house warming at JOS. Gerards in
another year or two when he gets the
floor laid.
It is Rumored that. we are ging to
have new relay race in the neighbor-
hood, that bids fair to be even more
interesting than the race pulled of

lap was started from Tewalt's house

Nothing Slow About August

August Huss stopped in at Ken
newick garage for air a few days ago
and explained that he had slow leak.
After exhausting the pressure tank,
large hand pump was resorted to,
but still the tire would not stand up
full and round. Investigation showed
that the slow leak consisted of slit
two and half inches long. -.

Just before going to bed last Satur-
day Tom Moore began worrying about
horse he had picketed out near the
house, fearing he hadn't driven the
stake down far enough; so he hunted
up his double-bitted AK and went out
and drove the stake down a foot far
Their, hammering it with the side of
the ak. He went to bed with mind at
ease, but when he got up in the morn
ing, the horse was gone and an ex-
animation showed that he had chopped
off the rope about four inches from
the stake. -.r.: ~
One of the provisions of the pro-
posed Kennewick ordinance regulat-
ing vehicle traffic is pretty sure to
cause considerable confusion if not
serious accidents. This is the clause
providing that vehicles going in a
northerly or southerly direction shall
have right of way at street intersec-
lions or crossings over vehicles going
in an easterly or westerly direction.
Even if touring motorists had some
way of finding out that there was an
ordinance in Kennewick which set
aside the rules of the road commonly
in operation turnout the country, we
venture that not one out of three
could tell for certain the points of the
compass WITHOUT stopping to locate
the sun or looking for the moss on the
north fronts of the tall buildings or
some other well known sign, and
where the streets run half way be-
tween the points Of the compass we
challenge anyone to interpret the reg
ulation. The rule in operation all
over the country provides that the
driver must give right Of way to We
hicles approaching on his left, and if
the Kennewick council would substi-
tute such a provision in the proposed
ordinance they would prevent acct
dents.

MINORITY. REPORT
 URGES MORE SHIPS

Washington, May 25.-Republican mem bers of the House naval affairs committee in a minority report sub-, n1itted to the House today denounced reported by the majority as wholly inadequate and urged more liberal a1-t lowances to make the United States navy the second greatest in the world. The minority charged that the ma jority report ignored opinions of naval experts and recommendations of Sec retary Daniels and was based on a compromise between interests which wanted no additional naval protection and those which wanted only slight increase. The Republicans recon mended that the bill provide for two dreadnaughts omitted by the reported
 measure, six battle cruisers instead of five, 50 coast defense submarines in
 stead of 20, $3, ,5O0, 900 for aircraft in
 stead of $2,0O0,0o still greater in
 crease in personnel, creation of a na- tional defense council, and means for
 rushing the building program by. using.
 more than one shift of workmen daily. The report suggested that the two
 dreadnaughts be built according to plans now ready for the California. and Tennessee so that all might be finished simultaneously. The bill should provide, the report declared, for the full number of men required onS a peace basis and should authorize the President to order at his .discre- ton enlistment. of such additional men
 as the navy might need, not to exceed 88, ,762 recommended by the general
 board. As, ,-
 we have 72 submarines built and
 building said the minority report. The lowest estimate of our requfre- ments by any naval authority is 1902
 The general board advised expendi- ture of $7, 900 900 on the aeronautical service, the report pointed out. Com
 menting on the proposal for a, defense council it said:
 Experience in modern wars has led all other great nations, to establish such a council to insure unity, con tinuity and cooperation in all brancI1- es of national defense.''
 The minority declared the ommis- sion of dreadnaughts in the reporte1 bill twill further increase the existing shortage of powerful fighting ships of the dreadnaught type.'' "

 It is the plan of the House leaders to bring the bill on the floor next Monday and to pass the measure not later than June B. =

pronned In on the Bears.

Some years back a visitor dropped in on the bears at the geological gardens. A hat fell into the pit, and it's owner at once jumped in after it. He alight- ed on a bear who was enjoying doze in the sun. The bear made him wei come. It seized him by the shoulder and waltzed him round and round. Luckily the visitor kept his feet until 8 keeper opened a side door and pulled him into safety. But the hat was left behind.
