Miss Elda Clements entertained a
party of young friends Thursday eve
ming in honor of Miss Agnes Woscher,
who has been house guest of her
cousin, Miss Marie Dresser for the
past two months and who left Monday
for her home in Portland. The eve
ing was devoted to auction bridge and
dancing, delicious refreshments being
served by the hostess, assisted by her
mother. - s,
The committee having the carnival
arrangements in hand met Tuesday
evening in the bank and took up the
matter of the premium list. This will
be finished completely this week and
will be published in the paper next is
sue. It was decided to give ribbons
for second prizes for the livestock
exhibits this year instead of cards as
last year, as they appeal more to the
exhibitor than printed card. Do
nations are coming in steadily and
plenty of money for substantial cash
prizes on every entry is assured as
well as a great deal of merchandise.

RICHLAND REPUBLICANS ARE
BOOSTING GORDON MOORES
He Agrees to Build No Bridges Until
the Good Roads Association
Says So q

Seldom have Richland republicans
been so united on candidate as they
are on Gordon Moores for county
commissioner for this district and the
report is current that he will make the
race if he can win without spending
too much time and money making the
campaign. -
Local democrats have been trying
to put Moores in the hole on the
bridge question but he has taken away
their thunder by pledging himself to
do nothing on the bridges except with
the endorsement of the Benton County
Good Roads association and the COM
mercial interests of the district.
Should Moores consent to make the
race Richland republicans will put
him forth as one who uses their roads.
This is the main reason for Richland
supporting Moores, who gets his mail
and does business in Kennewick.
Richland feels on account of her iso-
lated position from which she does
business with Kennewick, that it's not
only fair, but good business, to keep
the road under the personal supervis-
ion of one who uses it and she offers
no apologies in putting forth Gordon
Moores. He is honest and capable
and politicians here will bet more than
cookies that nothing can be slipped
over on him at the board meetings or

SUCH Is LIFE FOR THE
POOR OLD MOTHER HEN
Little Richland Girl Shows Literary
Talent When She Writes Farm :.
yard Story

Inc little story given below was
written by small girl, Miss Hester
gunner, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
henry Gunner, of Richland and as the
little lady is only nine years old, seems
pretty good start on the literary
ladder. Miss Hester is a genuine
"sour-dough" and "musher" having
been taken into the wilds of Alaska
mining camps at the age of two
months, and spending practically her
whole life there. The story we give
was written few weeks after arriv-
ing in Richland to make her home on
a big ranch and was her very first ex-
perience with hens and chicks.
A Story of the Chicks on the
Quiner Ranch
One morning, bright and early Mrs.
Hen layed her 18th egg and then be-
gan to set. But it was long and
dreary month for Mrs. Hen. At last
she heard "peep, peep" and out came
the little chicks. ooh, my, but they
were pretty; one white one and all the
rest black"
Mother Hen took her sunbonnet and
said to her chicks, "Come along, my
children, we are going to make our
home" Along came the little chicks,
peep, peep, as they went. By and by
Mother Hen found a little place in
some alfalfa and there she made her
home.
She put her sunbonnet in the cor
ner and took the little chicks wraps
offs and they played around watching
their mother scratching. It was lots
Of fun.
Day after day they played, getting
stronger all the time but at last they
grew up and went away so that all
Mother Hen could do was to lay eggs
again.

ANCIENT WAR WEAPONS.

Probably nobody ever enjoyed being
killed in battle. But there is certainly
a choice as to how the job could be
done If you had to pass out. how
much nicer II would to have high
class swordsman turn the trick! He'd
go to work so courteously and do such
neat, genteel job that you couldn't

for taking people apart, and even at the
time that everything which could cut
was made of flint it was In popular de-
mand.
Later on we find the real battleax the
favorite weapon of the Celts and the
Scandinavians.
The halberd was the next step (up or
down, as one looks at those things).
This was q combination of ak and
spear; broad blade backed with a
hook and tipped with spear point, all
mounted on six foot haft- Humane

If you missed your jab you could still
take healthy swing with the Ak or
pull him of his horse with the hook. A
whole regiment with spears might hold

contests the soldier with the halberd
stood the better chance.
The ak was especially favored by the
Swiss. and they did so nicely with 1t
that it spread and became the principal
weapon Of central Europe for nearly
200 years. One English variation. the
bill. had more of sickle shaped blade:

After one big blow you had a case for

awhile the good. stout old weapon lost
its punch, so to speak. It got to be

the result. Still there is one thing that
points in the direction Of the plebiscite
being III favour of the sal; the three parties
the Radicals, the Socialists and the
Moderate left are all in favour Of the sale,
it must therefore naturally be supposed
that their members in the Diet will be able
to carry the voting.
The wording of the telegram must not
be too short and sharp. Also the position
of st. Thomas Council plays a part. Ii ST. =.
Thomas sends no delegates, the Committee
will take no notice of st. Thomas and if ST.
Croix sends delegates we will have stronger
weight; but finding men is very difficult,
especially this time of the year. If any
one can be found, it will not be with q very
great wish to go, it vii! be a sacrifice The
expenses we need not speak of, they will
be paid by the Committee. Is it desirable
or of any use to send Delegates, next can
we find the mem
End Member for Christiansted Town
(Cdnegata). Sending the delegates is not
easy. If the Islands are sold, it may be
unnecessary to send them; if the Islands
are not to be sold, it may be OF Importance
to send them; and we may afterwards 70
greet not having sent them. IN my opinion
it is the question Of not being sold. In
Copenhagen they don't know much OF the
situation.
Magazines, newspapers, kilograms are
all very we'll, hut what we want are men
who can impart them home with a know
ledge of the real circumstances out here.
We should consider the matter we'll and
be very careful in what we are deciding.
The Chairman (Stabemanr). 1t seems
to me there is some doubt of Interpreting
the telegram. There stands, that che
Committee begs to communicate with dele
gates of the two Councils, does this
mean delegates out of the Council or out
side of the Council? I should like to hear
the opinion of the Council, if We can go
outside the Council or not.
Ord Member for Christiansted Town
(Njelsen) According to the public tole-
gram it need not be Members of the

The Chairman (Stahemann). We must
take the time in consideration, if men are
elected, they must lave time to arrange
their matters.
Frederik VIII leaves New York on the
l8' October, necessarily the delegates must
leave from Porto Rico the 10th. Then
there is a steamer leaving New York the
26' October, the delegates will then be in

will be too late. I would like to know. II
