French War Memorials.

France was threatened with a deluge
of monuments and tablets commemo-
rating the victory Of the pOilu. when
Clemenceau stepped to the fore land
vetoed many propositions advanced by
artists and persons interested from
financial standpoint. He thus saved
Paris and the provincial cities from
many exhibitions of gratitude perpetu-
ated in marble. wood, stucco and plas-
ter.
The Touring club Of France has
built perhaps the most dignified me-
mortal to the men who fought to save
their country. Near the place ON the
Marine where. in 1914 the Germans
were pushed back from their march to
Paris and where in 1918 the great
offensive of the allies started, the
Touring club chose the top Of hill
and there built a chapel over the door
Of which are the simple words: "The
Benediction Of a Prayer in Eternal
Remembrance"

Why Daylight Scheme Failed.

The secret has leaked out that the
real reason why the farmers were OPP
posed to the daylight saving plan was
that they were not able to get the
ROSTERS to adopt 1t. The he-chickens
insisted on going to work on the old
schedule. In open defiance Of con,
gress. they refused to knock of the
extra hour from their morning beauty
sleep. So. under the new plan, instead
Of the ROSTERS waking up the farm
ers, 1t became necessary for the farm
ers to wake up the ROSTERS. This.
quite naturally, aroused feelings OF
mutual antagonism. No farmer rel
ishes the task of going out each
morning, while the moon is still riding
high in the heavens, and cutting a
barnyard full Of ROSTERS of the perch
So there was nothing to do but re-
peal the law.-Thrift Magazine.

Best Influenza Treatment.

There is only one point In regard
to Influenza on which the medical pro-
fession is In agreement. This is stat
ed by the Journal of the American
Medical Association as follows:
'aThe pulmonary complications OF IN
fiuenza, which make it so serious
disease, may be avoided to large
extent by rest in bed at the onset or
the illness. Influenza itself is not usu-
ally fatal, and generally insistence on
the importance of rest and warmth at
the onset of the illness will accom-.
plish more than all else i'm preventing
complications and reducing fatalities
from the disease"

NOT TRADING

SHE sooner some of the citizens
of Prosser forget the county
seat question and get right on the
Columbia river bridge question, the
better it is going to be for the bridge
and the town of Prosser.
Prosser may as well get awake to
the fact right now that this is no
more Kennewick's bridge than it is
Prosser's bridge. The fact that Ken
newick is at one end of the proposed
structure is only incidental to the
bigger fact that the bridge is on the
Inland Empire highway and both Ken
newick and Prosser are on that high
way. Has Kennewick any greater in
terest in the improvement of that
highway than has Prosser?
Furthermore the bridge is. only in
cidental to that bigger thingsthe early
pavement Of the Inland Empire high
way. Will the pavement of the Inland
Empire highway mean any more to
Kennewick than to Prosser?
E. w. Trenbath is not directing
the bridge campaign as president of
the Kennewick Commercial club but
as the Washington State executive of
the Yellowstone Trail association, of
which Prosser is member. Kenne-
wick didn't send Mr.. Trenbath to
Prosser. The Yellowstone Trail as
ISOLATION sent him. Kennewick didn't
elect him. He was nominated by an

Government Economy.

Says the Washington Post: with
the close of the present session OF
Congress approaching, members al
ready are congratulating themselves
upon the policy of economy in govern
ment expenditures which they have
put into execution. Leaders Of the
House of Representatives started out
with the determination of reducing
estimates by at least 81 ESQ, 1000, 600
They now claim the saving will
amount to S1,5O0,000,000.
Estimates submitted by the various
departments aggregated about s5,O0O,-
0O0, 900, which would more than equal
estimated current revenues. In re-
sponse to a well-established public
sentiment, as we'll as to avoid the po-
litical error of creating deficit, the
leaders got out their pruning knives
and proceeded to pare the estimates
down to the bone of necessity, with
the result that they now believe ap-
preparations will be kept close to
Sc, 500, 900, 900.
These figures do not include the ex-
pense of soldier bonus legislation
which is expected to be enacted be-
fore the close of the session. EST
mates for that reach about $780,
OOO, 900, or the amount which it is
claimed has been saved by pruning
