trast in the scenery offered by
Douglas Fairbanks in his new Arr
craft picture, "Headin' South"
rip-roaring tale of Mexican raid

the Majestic theatre today. Thurs

audience is shown a broad sweep

believe in seeing America first"

the scenery that makes "Headfl'

was attached to transporting over
two hundred cowboys and Mexi-
cans to the various locations. but
the results attained more than JUS

Kennewick Boys Say Bill Hasn't
Ghost of a Show With Mica
ragua in the Big War

This war is demonstrating one thing
which many Of US have always known
and that is that the American youth
will not be found moping around and
shedding goose-egg tears over his un-
happy lot, no matter what his sur
roundings. No matter where you put
him, the young American is going to
hang onto his individuality and is 60
ing to keep right on smiling in the
face of hardship, danger or death.
The editor is in receipt of letter
this week from three Kennewick boys
who are doing their little stunt in this
war down along the equator. In spite
Of the niggers, the mosquitoes, the
reptiles and the tropical sun, which
speeds her up to about 40 in the
shade, there seems to be no sob-stuff,
either in or between the lines OF the
letter. They write like honest-to-good-
ness American lads who are going to
keep right on smiling regardless OF
what may come their way.
The boys who sign themselves,
"Three Kennewickians," are Herb

We're sorry the mail system is SO
irregular from here, as we would IKE
to trade for little of your weather.
There's practically no difference here
as far as heat goes. It's just as easy
to fry eggs on a rock here today as it
was last Fourth of July.
We follow up all the letters other
fellows write back there you print in

call anyone fabricators, but it seems
as if it would take fabricator to
keep up with some of them.
It's too bad we couldn't have had

so we wouldn't have to pump so much.
You see VIE have combination
pump here, which we use to pump wa
ter from the lake into the well, so as
to keep the well from going dry. Then
we pump the water out of the well for
our use.
Our latest addition from Kennewick
is now firing on the rifle range. The
first day he shot his old gat he must
t have had an argument of some sort,
as his eyes were somewhat discolored
when he came in from the range. He
said it knocked him down and threw
rocks at him.
We just finished fixing the tennis
| courts this morning. The last earth
quake we had made them wave like
water, so we had some cracks to fill;
none of them were much more than
fifty feet wide, tho, so it wasn't much
of a job. It even made some Of the
fellows seasick to watch it. Those
kind of fellows would get sick at any
thing, wouldn't they?
Lots of other unheard of things hap
