WHAT KINDNESS DOES
Sagacity of Animals Exempli-
fled Last Week by the
Louis Frank Team.

There is one man in this sec
ton who has proven that kindness
to his horses is a paying PROPOSE
ton, and together with plenty of
rations and all that go with it,
say an occasional lump of sugar
and such delicacies sweet to the
tooth of beast and man alike, has
builded an affection which is last
ing.
Louie Frank, caretaker at the
Long Lake dam east of the vii
lage is a lover Of horses, and with
all the newfangled contraptions
and gas buggies and whatnots, he
still sticks to horsehesh as the
longest bet to be had. Claims that
you can get affection and service
out of a horse, but that about all
you can get out of a gas wagon is
trouble and more trouble. IF his
harness breaks or his wagon col
lapses, he still has a horse to ride
and at no cost for a town. And
he is right at chat.
Monday of last week Mr.. and
Mrs Frank loaded their suitcases
into the family carriage to drive
to town to take the Monday train
for Oshkosh where they expected
to spend a well-earned vacation
with their daughter and other rel
atives. The team, pets of both Mr..
and Mrs. Frank, were standing all
ready for the journey, it not being
necessary to hitch them at any
time on account of their quietness
when in harness. AS stated the
suitcases were slowed in the rear
of the rig, and the team left while
they hurriedly took care Of some
thing they had forgotten at the
last moment.
Horses were under the impress
sion that everything was in readi-
ness and they ambled off in their
usual gait toward Eagle River,
some nine miles away. They were
not scared nor were they running
away-just kept the regular town
gait and it is supposed they mag
ined they were doing nothing
wrong. Mr.. Frank followed them
as far as the Rusch farm about
four miles from town and then
telephoned F. H. Dildine to catch
chem. Frank knew they were not
running away, but imagined they
possibly had tore up the rig.
Anyhow, the team, with not even
"a suitcase upset, ambled into the
village and stopped at their old
hitching post on main street near
the Renk store. Mr. Frank claims
that had they been turned round
and headed home, they would have
made the return journey just as
safely as the one to town. He has
had the team for years and during
all their life have not had a brutal
master, but were always pets even
from Their birth. The ponies were
raised by Finn Lawler who quite a
number of years ago disposed Of
the youngsters to Mr.. Frank, and
it is through the handling of them
by men who do not ''break" horses,
that they have learned kindness
should be paid in like manner.
Money will not buy the Frank
team, and when their usefulness is
gone, they will undoubtedly be
pensioned

GOOD TASTE
ma ByJOHN w. LAIRD -
MEAA Director of Research W
pTHE PALAIS ROYAL
GOOD TASTE is always an asset.
Unfortunately, it is not universal
possession. tbs born in some people.
1t is developed in others.
Every. one can develop good taste,
provided he will observe closely, COM
pare critically and associate constantly
with the best things.
Good. taste in the furnishing of
a home is essential to the comfort,
convenience and satisfaction of the
home. We are panied by the things
that jar-rugs, draperies, upholstery,
furniture do not dovetail into
harmonious whole.
In furnishing a home good taste
does not demand excessively ex-
pensive possessions. Folks of very
moderate circumstances, as we'll as
those in possession of great wealth,
may show superior appreciation of
the canons of good taste. Good taste
is personal rather than financial.
Simplicity, harmony, quality
these are the marks of good taste
whether the price be within the reach
of the man of moderate means or the
very wealthy.
Good taste sometimes demands the
assistance of those who by long years
of experience know what best conduces
to harmony, simplicity and comfort
In every department of The Palais
Royal there are trained men and
women whose extensive experience
qualities them to advise with the Gus
toner who desires to make his home
the most attractive place in the world.
There is no phase of home decoration
not covered by some one in the store
capable of giving most valuable
counsel.
A glance at the offerings in today's
advertising will indicate their reason
ableness A visit to The Palais Royal
tomorrow will prove that in selecting
their merchandise the Buyers have
given careful attention to the inpor-
tant matter of GOOD TASTE.

WATER BUGS
Highlands Waterusers In
stall Chlorinating Plant
in Pump House

"Kennewick, not only the city but
Olmsted addition and the Highlands
has an absolutely safe water supply
declared DR.. A. G. Tullar, city health
officer today.
The Highlands Waterusers asso-
citation has just completed the install
lation of chlorinating plant at its
pumping station on the Columbia
and the water now comes to the
homes absolutely free from disease
bearing germs.
"Since the treating plant was in
stalled by the Pacific Power G. Light
company, at the city plant there has
been only one case of typhoid fever
in the city and that did not originate
here,"s said DR.. Tullar. Residents of
Olmsted addition and the Highlands
will now have the same protection
against this disease that is enjoyed
by users from the Power company's
system The Highlands Waterusers
are to be commended"

GOLF CLUB is
ORGANIZED
Nine-Hole Course Will be
Constructed on Hill
Near Rudkin Home

There is something new in Ken
newick. 'Tis the Kennewick Golf
club which begins life with DIR. A.
G. Tullar president and Robert Mack
lie, secretary-treasurer.
The club is only a few days old
but it is already getting under way
in great shape. A cursory survey of
the town reveals the fact that there
are very few golfers here but all
kinds of golf enthusiasts. Most ey-
erybody wants to get into the club
and most everybody can. The only
requirement is the inclination and
five dollars membership fee. Later
there will probably be small monthly
dues. .
AT the initial meeting Saturday
evening Mr.. Mackie, Robert Bragg
and Joe Peterson were named COM
mittee to survey the proposed course
and report as to the cost of preparing
it. A nine-hole course has been laid
out east of the j. j. Rudkin home
on the Highlands. The committee
reports the location ideal and the
contour such that the course can 0e
made at very low cost and very
little work. The fairways are already
there, as soon as the bunch grass
his been removed. Practically the
only cost will be for the greens which
will be constructed of sand and OIL.
The committee hopes to have thiee
holes ready for play by the middle of
the week.
Come on all you would-be golfers.
If you wish to know more about the
club, ask Bob Mackie or Joe Peter
son.

can Legion will stage their annual
show. The vehicle chosen for legion
aires and their ladies to display their

that's going some.
Saturday afternoon and evening,
Jackie Coogan is coming to Kenne-
wick to help furnish the Commercial
club rooms. He's going to be here
in "Circus Days" which is one of
the strongest films in which Jackie
has starred. Mayor Desgranges saw
this show in Yakima last week and
puts a great big okeh on it. "Don't
miss it." says Mayor "Des". "It's a
good show and is being given here
in good cause. Like all of Jackie's
shows it is q good clean one and
chock full of delights, alike for child
rem and grownups."

TON OF SWEET
SPUDS ARRIVE
Commercial Club Buys Iowa
Seed to Distribute
Among Farmers

Sweet spuds, whole ton Of them,
arrived in Kennewick from Iowa this
week and are being distributed to
farmers who wish to try out this
southern crop. The seed was pur-
chased by the Commercial club and
is being distributed through the Of
fices of Omar w. Rich.
The purchase of the seed potatoes
was made as the result of successful
experiments conducted last year by
local farmers at the solicitation of
Mr.. Rich. Results obtained last year
were so good that it is believed the
sweet potato can be very successfully
grown here in commercial quantities.
: c. C. Williams chairman of the
Agricultural bureau of the CONNER
cial club said today that between
eight and ten cars of sweet potatoes
will be planted this year. The exper-
iment service Of the State College
has promised its cooperation in ex-
perimenting with this crop and with
other crops now grown or which can
be grown here.
Mr.. Williams conferred with Dean
johnson of the College at the recent
Feeders day in Prosser and was re-
quested by the dean to outline pro-
gram of experimentation which
might be taken up 70 rthe benefit
Of agriculture in this district. o. M.
Morris, head of the horticultural de-
partment of the State College was
here this week in conference with
Mr.. Williams. Mr.. Villains says the
State College men have assured him
that series Of experiments in early
and new crops will be conducted in
the Kennewick district as well as on
the State Experiment farm near
Prosser.
