RIFLE CLUBS LOSE
FREE MUNITION SUPPLIES
Present Supply of Ammunition is all
that Club Can Get Until the
Kaiser is Licked

No matter how good a score the
members of the local rifle club run up
they will be unable to get any more
free ammunition until the war has
been called off. And not only that,
but the government will not even sell
cartrides any more until the fuss has
calmed. A prospect Of target prac-
tice at the rate of jitney a shot is
likely to put the kibosh on the local
gun club.
The members that really go out and
pepper away at the targets now are
not just wild about getting the luke
warm members enthused about it. For
as long as the present supply lasts
they can shoot at 40 cents box.
During the past week several of the
members shot the expert course and
one or two have qualified. Most Of
the members prefer to wait until the
new course is put into effect-the one
used in the militia and heretofore re-
commended for the gun clubs. This
course covers fifty shots, and all but
ten being from prone position. The
scores made on the course determines
the rating of the member.

KENNEWICK PUPILS
MAKE GOOD SHOWING
Only Two Out of Class of Thirty.
Six Fail to Get Eighth
Grade Diplomas

! The pupils of the Kennewick schools
made excellent records in the recent
state eighth grade examinations, only
two pupils out Of class of thirty-six
failing to receive their eighth grade
diplomas. These two failed in only
one subject and will have a chance to
make up their deficiencies in the ex-
aminations the third Thursday and
Friday in June. In the arithmetic and
grammar examinations, usually the
most difficult for the pupils, only three
grades in the local school fell below 80
per cent. In grammar two pupils had
perfect papers, six received grades Of
SO per cent, seven received 81 per
cent, with many pupils receiving 81
and 95 per lent.
The Kennewick eighth grade as a
whole easily leads the county this
year, that honor last year going to
the eighth grade taught by Mr.. Hill.
The high honors for the county 20 to
Blanche Dickinson, Ruth Dickinson
and Edna Keene. The average age for
the girls in the class is fourteen years,
two months, while the average age for
the boys is thirteen years, five months.
The seventh grade pupils did not do
SO well in their geography examine
ton as the eighth grade pupils did in
their subjects. The examination in
that subject was especially difficult
and caused trouble for most of the pu-
pills OF the county. A decided inn
provement in the writing of the Ken
newick pupils is noticeable in this
years examinations, especial atten- !
ton having been paid to Improvement
in that subject for the past year.

ON THE WESTERN FRONT.

With high hope flushed, the Kaiser rushed
To pulverize the foe;
A swift retreat he had to beat
His bravest were laid low.
"The truth to tell that out-hells hell
They put US on the run
Who're doomed to feel the iron heel
OF him they call the Hun.
1t maybe true, that courage new
Has come to those we hate
Since they have seen the eagle keen
From that transatlantic state.
But, don't forget we'll crush them yet
Germania's God is nigh!
To smash their tanks, to sweep their ranks,
We're ready now to try.
Forward with God-they'll feel His rod!
The things as good as donel
o welcome day, when this world may
Salute, Lord, the Hun"
Against his foemen's forces then
A mighty wedge was driven;
Recoied once more the Kaiser's men,
The worse for having striven.
The power in whom they put their trust
Had once again betrayed them
The CORY god of force and lust
That 'gainst the world arrayed them.
1t seems that they will keep it up;
That nothing less can teach them
That till they've drained the bitter cup !
The grace of HEAVIER can't reach them.
(When brought to own their fathers Cod
By punishment condign,
They'll beat It" to their native sod
Nor stop this side the Rhine)
