SCHOOL KIDS DIDN'T LAUGH
TO SEE BOB'S LAMB AT PLAY
Nor Did he Go to School, but the
School Came to Him and
Hee Butted In

Prof. Dixon of the animal husband
ny and agricultural department of the
kichland high school is firm De
lever in the actual demonstration o.
the ethics of his profession and for
that reason last; Monday he decided
to take his class of boys out to various
fara,s on the project to Judge the
livestock thereon according to Hoylc.
Among the places picked out for
visit was the R. d. Sawyer ranch in
town ard after asking permissio l #
the owner was more than delighted
to allow the class the freedom of the
place, the boys and their instructor
proceeded to intrview the various ami
mails thereabout. However, the own
er had neglected (either with malice
aforethought~o otherwise) to inform
the visitors that he had one beast on
the place which was in class by it
self and that not in the books of the
Richland high school stock reports.
1t was 4 ram; the real thing, with
long curled horns and head like q
piece of solid ivory.
In order to Judge the hogs on the
farm the class proceeded into a large
alfalfa field and everything was going
fine when, without word of warning,
down the field charged what looked
to those boys like some prehistoric
beast, after their "goat." Nothing
would stop him and the trees in the
field formed the only avenue of escape
| so up a tree went each of the boys
as well as their teacher-and it was
only after great deal of preliminary
scouting and peacemaking tactics on
the part of the intruders that brother
ram decided to allow them to depart
in safety.
Needless to say, Mr., Sawyer is still
looking for data on the quality of his
hogs and shoats, but, from what he
can learn from the animal husbandry
class, there is no doubt at all about
the rating of his ram; it is in class
by itself and they are perfectly will
ing that it should stay by itself and
on the other side of the fence from any
operations they may be engaged upon.

RICHL AND DEPT.

Glen McGhan has purchased the old
Bogardt tract from its present owner,
Mrs. M. p. Davidson, and will move on
this fall. This is a fine ten-acre tract
partly in orchard and just outside the
city limits about quarter of mile
and Mr.. McGhan, with his experience
with orchards in this district, will un-
doubtedly make it one of the most
valuable tracts in the valley after
he has had it few years.
E. S. Hubbard has purchased anoth-
er ffteen-acre tract from the irriga-
ton company in section Ia and will
soon plant same to alfalfa. Mr.. Hub
bard states that it is his idea to have
a tract of 200 acres in alfalfa in the
Fruitvale neighborhood and at the
present rate of purchases he will
have it very shortly.
Real estate is on the boom in Rich
land and every week shows number
of salse and exchanges at good prices
and from present indications the Rich
land valley is about to come into its
own after many years in state of
inertia.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. M. Ross and son
Russell spent Friday and Saturday in
Walla Walla.
John weidle spent Saturday in WAL
la Walla.
Mrs. Geo. w. Snow of Fruitvale is
enjoying visit from her father who
came from the East to see first hand
the beauties of the Richland district.
Wilbur Adkins, who, since his dis
charge. from the service, has been en-
ployed in Colorado, is home on visit
with his parents.
Hunters are as thick as fleas these
days and if there are any ducks left
in Richland it won't be the fault of
these real sports.
The Richland Transfer company has
purchased fine new G. M. c. truck
to use in their rapidly increasing bus
mess.

The secret of another German key
industry has been discovered. the man
ufacture of artificial mother-of-pearl.
]. w. Fl. Dew, fellow of the British
Royal Society of Arts, found the proc

Doctor Dew was engaged during the
whole period of the war in recon

manufacture.
Artificial mother-of-pearl is used for
making fancy buttons, dress trimmings
and many other articles. Before the
war most of it came from Germany.

Miss Sadie Minis .Entertains.

On Tuesday evening, August 26,
Miss Sadie Minis entertained delight
fully with military party Every
one was in tie soldier spirit and the
"red, white and blue" was f1uttering
everywhere. The soldiers have learn
ed how to live uncomfortably and
now they are able to enjoy more
than ever.
The contest consisted of a series
of questions about the great battles,
camps and generals and all the
guests, even the most learned ones,
found that the war had taught them
great deal.
At the conclusion of the contest,
it was found that Miss Mamie Dun
ovant and Major w A. Collett held
the highest honors and were present
ed with a box of patriotic stationery,
while Mrs. Arthur Childress and Mr..
R. T. Hill fell heir to the BOBBY, a
red, and white and blue box of
"cra ckerjack."
A large tent, general headquar-
ters," was situated in the yard with
IA large flag near. Physical examina-
tions, issuing of guns, camp singing
and bugle calls completed the mill
tary atmosphere.
Every camp has its canteen SER
vice and so had this one, at which
delightful fruit punch was served,
by AIRED Cross canteen girl.
Everyone was tagged, not with an
officers bar, few of them were that
commanding, but only little SOU
venir bearing the name of "Sunder-
land" the name of Miss Minis sun
ny home. The guests needed no re-
minder of the occasion.
Some of the young ladies who
frightened the camp scene were
Miss Bessie Dunovant, who presided
very Hospitality at the Red Cross
Canteen, Miss Kate Minis, who rep
resented Liberty, Miss Mary Nichol-
son who personifed Peace and Miss
Sarah Ready who was dressed as
Miss Columbia. These accompanied
the guests about the lawn which was
electrically lighted. The whole place
was aglow with light and color and
was beautiful enough to have been
prepared for peace celebration.
To strengthen the tired army af-
ter its strenuous camp life, delicious
red and white cream and cake were
served and enjoyed At the sound of
"Taps," after the lowering of the
flag and the singing of the Star
Spangled Banner, the triumphant |
and victorious army tramped home
ward to the tune of lasting joys and |
sweet memories of martial airs.

Brick Making Plant Needed.

Having aroused from it's long
sleep, the town of Edgefeld ha:
greater need for certain enterprise:
now than it has ever had. A building
boom is on and will continue il
people can secure material with
which to build. Rough lumber has
more than doubled in price and mill
ed or finished material has advanced
nearly fourfold. The price of brick
has advanced twenty-five per cent
during the past few months.
Rough lumber for building can be
supplied by mills in the county and
finished material must be had from
plants in the cities as heretofore, re-
gardleSs of price and the prolonged
delay in securing it. But builders in
Edgefield and vicinity could be inde-
pendent of brick manufacturers in
nearby cities who, we are inclined to
believe, are eXtorting higher prices
than conditions warrant. Good brick
can be made right here in Edgefeld.
All of the brick buildings that were
erected in Edgefeld after the first
great fire were built of brick made
of clay in the town limits. The sup
ply was not exhausted and the facil-
tiles for making brick are much bet
ter now than was the old hand
mold process. We believe brick could
be made at profit in Edgefeld at
but little more than half what city
manufacturers are asking.
We need a Chamber of Commerce
to take up the matter of organizing
a brick manufacturing plant in Edge
field. There would be no letting up
in building activities, if our people
could secure the necessary material
at anything like reasonable prices.
But when prices become prohibitive
building operations will cease, ex-
cept in cases where the need for
construction work is imperative.

Linen Shower for Miss Marian
Bailey.

Miss nellie Braxton Jones enter
tanned delightfully."- on Tuesday af-
lternoon for Miss Marian Bailey
whose approaching marriage is MAX
ing her the center of interest and at
traction.
The spacious hall and drawing
rooms were artistically arranged
with decorations of yellow golden
rod. The guests were given tiny gold
I bells at the door, being greeted By
Mesdames N. NJ. Jones, W. E. Lott
land 3. B. Jones.
In the receiving line were Miss
Marian Bailey, Miss Martha Boozer
of Columbia and Mrs. E. C. Bailey.
Each guest was given tiny card
tied with yellow ribbon on which was
arranged the program. for the after
noon. The first number was an ap-
propriate violin solo, "Love Dreams"
by Miss Rosela Parker. Miss Ruth
Tompkins sang "The Light in Your
Eyes" Little Miss Elizabeth Bailey
lin dainty pink costume danced to
the delight and pleasure of the ad-
miring assembly. The next number,
enjoyed by all, was dance, "The
Glow Worm" by Miss Ruth Tomp-
kins, wearing a costume of silver and
gray. The last number of this inter-
esting part cf the afternoon was per-
formed By Hiss Mary Cantelou when
she presented to the bride, after
showing it to the guests, a souvenir
book filled with tiny recipe books
tied together with yellow streamers.
A little poem about the booklets add
ed to the charm of their presenta-
ton.
Then came the climax when the
shower, not an April shower, came,
consisting of handsome presents of
linen of all designs and very useful.
Indeed, the presents were so many
that the guests were admiring them
for many minutes as Miss Bailey
took them from the large box.
When this part of the entertain
ment had been finished, a delicious
salad course with iced tea was serv-
ed.
The gracious hostesses and their
popular guest of honor bade good
bye to host of Edgefeld's young
women who had enjoyed a most de-
lightful afternoon and in their
hearts heartily congratulated Mr..
Thompson of Timmonsville who is
the favored groom.

Military Company Needed.

For a number of years Edgefeld
had a splendid military company.
The Edgetield Rifle Company was an
old organization, one in which the
people of the community took much
pride two or three decades ago.
There are reasons why this company
should be revived. In fact, we be-
lieve every county seat should have
military company. This seeming
preparation for disturbance of the
peace, a training of men in the use
of firearms, is splendid means of
preserving peace.
The war department has issued an
order to the adjutant general to or
ganize another battalion of 4 COM
panies, the, minimum being 65 men
to the company. There should be no
difficulty in enlisting men here for a
military company. We have men
fresh from active service and the
training camps who could easily
come together and organize a COM
pany that would be a credit to the
county and the State. The presence
of an armed body of men who could
be ready at an hours notice to as
sist in law enforcement or in pre-
serving the peace would have
wholesome effect upon the commu-
nifty and the county.

(THE END.)
Key Of Happiness.

1t IS very difficult to realize It
sometimes. and it is very hard on our
pride to admit 1t when we do realize
it, but it is a fact nevertheless, and
fact that we should let get hold of
US, and stay with us-that the JOY
and happiness and satisfaction Of our
lives depend very much more upon
ourselves and the kind Of people we
are than upon the kind of things that
happen to us. 1t is the kind Of will
we carry round with us, and the atti-
tude of our mind and the temper Of
our spirit and decides whether our
lives shall be happy and hopeful, and
not the things that come to us.
Given the right kind of will, the same
attitude and the wholesome temper of
soul, we shall be able to adjust our
selves to life with some comfort
and satisfaction, no matter what It's
accidents and Incidents, until they be-
come quite satisfying. We carry the
key Of our own happiness ourselves
and no one can give II to us or take
1t away.
