We Owe Him. Something

~ENNEWICK is one of the
N few small towns in the
country that can boast of a 10
cally-owned airplane. The fact
that it can so boast is due en-
tirely to accident. Kennewick
just happened to be the home OF
Floyd Kelso, otherwise some
other town would have been fly
ing high and looking down at us.
Just the same, we are of the
opinion that the people of this
community are justly proud of
the airplane, of Mr.. Kelso and
deeply appreciative of his eff
forts to make Kennewick's big
gest celebration big success.
Anyone who has seen Mr.. Kel-
so handle his machine can but
be impressed with two facts, that
he is an accomplished and care
ful aviator and that the airplane
has come to stay and will func-
ton in peace times as well as in
war times.
Mr.. Kelso's investment may
prove good one or it may not,
hut in either event the commun-
lily owes him something. He
went to considerable time and
i expense that he might get his
lplane here by the Fourth. To
/ lido this it was necessary for him
to make a trip to California, to
s ship his machine to Yakima by
express, and to build a hangar
lat his own expense near the eel
ebration grounds. We feel, and
we believe many citizens of the
/ community feel the same way,
that the expense of the hangar
|, should be borne by the commune
lIity. Sooner or later the COM
munity is going to need a han
gar and landing field for the &C
commodation of aviators on cross
country flights. 1t will mean
something to the community to
ylhave such accommodations and

When the Flag Goes By

. Il
National emblem and stood with
covered heads. The Flag was
carried by two gray-haired vet
Grams who followed it thru four
years of civil war and was fol-
lowed by soldiers, sailors and
marines who were ready to sacri-
flee their lives to uphold it in the
great World war. This setting,
it seems, should have been suf-
ficiently inspiring to have set
atingle the blood of every loyal
American who stood along the
sidelines and to have aroused a
feeling Of thankfulness that he
was privileged to live and enjoy
citizenship under the protection
of that flag.
We believe that many of those
who failed to remove their hats
meant no disrespect to the Flag
nor were they prompted by any
feelings of disloyalty, but rather
the act was one of thoughtless-
mess.
We believe, too, we can under
stand the feelings of the men In
uniform who were inclined to re-
sent this seeming slight to the
Colors. The fact that they did
resent it, we believe, shows that
they have come home with new
conception Of citizenship, a truer
love Of country and deeper pa
triotism. 1t is true, uncovering
the head when the Flag goes by
is only a form-a ceremony-but
a ceremony that carries with it
lnone of the humbleness of the
subject before his master, it is q
ceremony that bespeaks the cit
izen's confidence in the ability
: of himself and his fellow citizens
r Ito govern themselves and his
faith in American ideals and In
stitutions. It is no empty trib.
ute to king or potentate but 9
/ tribute to the principles OF lib
/ erty, justice and law.
To us it seems entirely proper
| that the man who just forgets
! Ito show this mark of tribute
! should have his memory jogget
! by the man in uniform, and like
! wise that the man who, when nj
J memory has been logged, re
/ fuses to show respect, shoul'
B find his hat in the gutter.
We didn't go to war, we didn'
wear the uniform, but if we ha'
pone-had marched away Wit
the stay-at-homes shouting tina
they were with us and woul'
stand by the Old Flag to tn

THE SUMTER COUNTY FAIR.

Sumter county is about to experience some
thing unique in its hstory-the old-timers say
and that is, the holding of county fair. Amazing
as it may appear to the and the outsider,
the county fair, known we'll elsewhere, has
never become an institution here
But the indications are that it will be an insti-
tuition from this time forward.
Sumter county, under the sponsorship of the
merce, will stage Sumter's first fair this week. 1t
will be beginning. But it promises to be so sue
cessful despite numerous and serious handcaps,
that it will not be the ending.
The fair this year has been a struggle for the
management and is being held almost without
funds. In fact, it will be practically free show,
no admission being charged, and there being no
sources of income except limited number of small
donations, and per centage of the receipts from
the midway shows, the bus line and other conces-
sions.
But the interest of the public has been arous-
ed and the exhibits promise to be something of a
revelation to those not accustomed to fairs, Sum
ter county will have an opportunity for the first
time to catch glimpse of her own capabilities as
county or community And she will want to do
the thing up better year. getting the right kind
of a start and the right kind of support from the
start
But the fair that opens next Thursday, and
will continue through Saturday. will be an eye
opener-and it is all free. Every man, woman and
child in Sumter county should plan to spend at
least one day at the fair-if for no other reason
than learn what the remainder of the county is
DOING,

What Other Editors Say
BLACK EYE TO YOUR TOWN.

Nothing shows up worse for town than the
absence of strong announcements from it's local
business men, and when the papers go out without
them the inference is that one has anything spec
ial to offer And this is an age of publicity. The
people close readers of the local newspapers
and greatly rely upon them not only for items of
news but for the offerings of local business men,
The merchant who fails to employ the space of his

refusing invitation and information to which the
public is entitled, but he is giving black eye to
his town, which is always sized up by the matter

EVERETT HAS A TALK WITH

CHAPTER XCII.


I WAS not permanently injured, al

painful. Fortunately the flames had
not had time to reach my face before
Mrs. Gray smothered them in the
rug. Often | have shuddered at the
thought that but for her quickness,
her presence of mind, my curiosity
would have caused my death-a hor-
rible one.
Everett was very tender, very low
ing, yet unusually serious in the
days that followed my accident. Not
once had he mentioned the attic, OF
how | received the burns, until
| was able to get around again, and
the pain had ceased But then he

THE BROOK.

IT'S pebbled marge the streamlet laves, it trol-
icsome and risky; and people come to lap its
waves who used to call for whisky. From dis
tant springs its waters start and flow through
meadows ferny; it doesnt break human heart
throughout its whole blamed journey; by green
and bosky dell it flows, where thirsty things can
find it, and doesn't paint a mortars nose, or
leave bad tastes behind it. 1t gives refreshment,
pure and clear to tired and painting critters, and
old soaks drink it, with tear, and find it beats
the btters. From dark abandoned bars they
come, and to the brook they totter; they re shut
out from the Demon Rum, and they sample
water. They swear that such drink is fierce
compared with highballs recent. but when
they've drunk about tierce they find it pretty
decent The brook is ripping as it winds to join
the distant ocean, and no cheap cloves or lemon
rinds disturb its sweet commotion. And poor
old jaded booty wrecks along its margin hover;
they pour its waters down their necks, and self
respect recover.
