TRIMS PASCO
Annual Armistice Foot
bali Game is Won by Lo-
cal High ID to z

By winning the Armistice Day
game ID to z, Kennewick high
school is now one lap ahead in
the annual football contests with
Pasco. The return game will be
played in Pasco Thanksgiving Day.
In Saturdays game the local
team took the lead early in the
first quarter and held it until the
final whistle blew. While at no
time was the outcome of the game
in doubt the Pasco eleven put up
stubborn fight and the Kenne-
wick boys were forced to exert
themselves to the fullest every
minute of the play.
Kennewick's backfield was ma
terially weakened by the loss of
Halfback Seward who was out on
account Of injuries and it was
further slowed up when Quarter
back Brink in the first quarter
received an injury to his back. Al
though he finished the game he
was unable to do his usual effec-
tive work. N
Kennewick scored its first touch
down early. Kennewick kicked off
and after three unsuccessful tries
for yardage, Pasco was forced to
punt. Kennewick took the ball
in their own territory, marched
down the field with it. They made
yardage through the line, off
tackle and Hawkins circled right
end for 40 yard run and then
carried the ball through the line
for a touchdown. Fraser kicked
goal from placement and the score
was z to 0.
Kennewick again kickedoff. AZ

downs Pasco lsot it when Hawkins
intercepted forward pass. In
spite Of two penalties Kennewick
carried the ball for four successive
first downs and had it in Pasco's
five yard line at the end of the
quarter.
During the minutes rest Pasco
braced up and held Kennewick for
downs, the ball going over on the
8 yard line. Pasco Immediately
punted and Hawkins carried the
bah back to Pasco's 2-yard line
where Pasco again held and punt

remainder Of the haH the ball
switched back and forth with Pasco

N NUTRITION
CLASS STARTS
State Director Says Ken
newick Has Few Under
weight Children

Perhaps the most popular ques-
tion in the grade school the past
week has been, "How much did
you weigh ?" Kennewick, said Miss
Hilda j. Solibakke, state director
of Nutrition Crusade, rates high.
But 22.1 per cent of the children
in the grades were found to be z
per cent or more underweight,
while the state as a whole has 1873
per cent Of its pupils, per cent or
more underweight. In one small
town not far away, So per cent of
the pupils were z per cent or more
underweight.
Much interest and enthusiasm
has been shown in the nutrition
class of twenty children that was
started Monday at 300 p. M, with
Mrs. A. r. Gardner, chairman, as
sisted by Mrs. G. ]. Hayden and
Mrs. e. H. Sherk. The class will
meet once week, Mondays, at
300, getting through before the
busses leave at 3:45.
Each child will be weighed, his
weight charted with red crayola
on a large individual chart, up
ward or downward, as the case
may be. The cause for each loss
is charted as well. The child hav-
ing the highest gain for the week
gets large gilt star, and goes
to the head Of the class. Some
gain, no matter how slight, is re-
warded by a small gilt star.
Three cups of milk daily sill
yer star. Ten or more hours
sleep red star, one or more vege-
tables daily besides POTATOES,
green star, mid-morning and mid
afternoon luncheon, consisting Of
a one-half pint Of milk each time,'
a blue star, and keeping the mod
ern health crusade chart, a. gilt
heart. Upon attaining normal
weight the children graduate,
receiving an honor badge Of yellow
silk pinned on with a gold plated
crusade pin. After leaving the
class the children are reweighed
once a month as follow-up work,
to see that the weight gained is
sustained.
Last year 5000 children repre-
senting "a counties Of the state
did this intensive nutrition class
work. 100000 did the cruside work
as such. In Spokane City alone
800 children did the work on school
time. AS class they averaged
1a.5 per cent underweight. AT
the end of five months this under
weight had been reduced to S.b per
cent. In King county 1889 pupils
did the work. In Pierce over 4OO.

Possibility That McNeil
will Hold Office Two
Years Longer
FRENCH'S TERM
EXPIRES IN 1926
There Is Apparent Con-
.flict Between Constitu-
ton and The Statutes

Will C. E. DeBow be county
commissioner from the Prosser
district, or will he not? This is q
question over which there seems
to- be some difference of opinion
among the legal talent of the coun-
ty and concerning which there is
apparently a conflict in the state
constitution, and the state statutes.
Alex McNeill the present COM
missioner was appointed to sue
ceed DIR. French who resigned.
Two years ago DR.. French was
elected for four year term which
expires January L, 1926. Upon
the theory that McNeilPs appoint
ment was only until the general
election filings for the office were
accepted and at. the election Mr..
DeBow defeated McNeill and Alex
Carlson, the farmerIabor candi-
date.
In one section the state conven-
tion provides for certain county
officers and delegates to the legis-
lature the authority to prescribe
their duties, fix their terms Of Of
flee, etc. In the following sec
tion the constitution gives the
county commissioners authority to
fill vacancies by appointment and
says that such appointees shall
hold office until the next general
election and until their successors
are elected and qualified.
In fixing the terms of office of
the several county officers the
legislature also legislated to the
effect that in case Of vacancies, ap-
pointees shall hold office to the
end of the term for which their
successors were elected.
In most cases there would be no
conflict between the constitution
and the Legislative act, for the
reason that with the exception of
one hold-over commissioner the
terms of all county officers expires
the first of the year following the
general election.
Local attorneys say that the
constitution will take precedence
over the legislative act and ex-
press the opinion that the legisla-
ture exceeded the authority dele
gated to it in attempting to fix
term of office of an appointee
which term had already been fix
ed by the constitution. Apparent
ly there has been no court decisions
on this point and the county at
torney has requested the attorney
general for ruling.
In the event the attorney gener-
al holds that appointments are
good only until the general election
both DeBow and Sam Allard are
eligible to take office as soon as
they choose to qualify. r. E.
Briggs, however, cannot be induct-
ed into office until January 1,
when r. E. Pratt viii finish his
second elective term. Mr.. Briggs
was elected for the four year
term which rotates between the
three districts.
If, however, the attorney gen.
eral should hold that the legislative
act is to be followed, McNeill will
hold office for two years longer
and DeBow will never become
commissioner upon the results of
the last election.
