The latest thing in "stunts" is an endurance
test by an automobile driver who aspired to
break all records by staying at the wheel con

tired, he keep driving through crowded traffic.

If you want to have something to say in
government, the polls are the place to say it. If
you believe prohibition laws should be enforced
the polls are the place to show it. If you aren't
satisfied with the way county, state or national
affairs are carried out, speak first at the polls
and to your neighbor only after you have done
your own duty Your vote may not be very big
but it is as big that of the biggest political
boss or the wealthiest man in America. But it
has no value until you visit the polls on Election
Day.

their cross to perfectly good tree and destroy

the ruin of fine tree for insignificant purpose
is too bad. We wish the Khan or whoever is re-

The Minneapolis schools have adopted as
their slogan for this year Chas. Dawes strong
plea for "Brass Tacks and Not Bombast." 1t.
like every other city, large or small, needs the
application of just that principle We are told
by the Minneapolis Journal that cit cost Mime
apos more than half million dollars last yeal
to supply additional education to "repeaters," or
students who failed in part of their years work.
The problem has become serious as to warrant
the suggestion that parents of ''repeaters' be re
quired to pay part all of the cost OF such ad
ditional training. This would tend to enlist the
cooperation of parents in the success of their
childrens school year."

A SONG IN THE STORM

Be well assured, though wave and wind

That we who keep the watch assigned
Must stand to it the more;

Each pillows baked career,
Sing, welcome Fate's discourtesy

How in all time of our distress,
And our deiverance too,
The game is more than the player O.

a reduction of the sugar tariff, Tain't reason

claims to be so warm friend of the farmer is,
in this instance at least, doing his utmost to swat

THE HAPPIEsT HEART

Who drives the horses of the sun
Shall lord it but day:
Better the lowly deed were done.
And kept the humble way.
The rust will find the sword of fame.
The dust will hide the crown;
Ay, none shall nail so high his name
Time will not tear it down.
The happiest heart that ever beat
Was in some quiet breast
That found the common daylight sweet,
And left to heaven the rest.

"Way Back Yonder" is the title of
little booklet from the pen Of the Hon.
Frank B. Eddy, detailing personal re-
minisences of Minnesota in a political
way. Chapter one deals with incidents
back in 1858 when General Sibley, De.
mocrat, was chosen as the first governor
of the State. Next comes the free silver
period when Frank A. Day, the sage of
Fairmont, to whom the book is dedicat-
ed, or as Mr.. Eddy puts it, "pisrespect-
fully dedicated, deserted the Republican
party and was followed by other men
of distinction in the party at that time,
among them being Hon. Chas A. Towne
and Hon. John Lind. Populist and fusion
periods also come in for attention. The
book is especially interesting to old tim
ers who enjoy recalling the torchlight
periods in American political life No
man in the state is better qualified than
Mr.. Eddy to tell Of these events and his
contribution is a valuable one as it pre-
serves in compact manner many incid-
ents of the days long past and gone."-
Mapleton Enterprise.
We haven't seen this book yet-in fact W
re little peeved at Frank that he hasn't sen
5 one. But we aim to read it from kiver t
ver at the first opportunity. If there is ivina
the present time, person who knows the his
ny of Minnesota politics, and has the ability t,
rite that history interestingly, such talentet
,rson is Frank B. Eddy.

HASOPPO POSITION
c. w. Fristoe, Former Dem
ocrat Files on Repub-
lican Ticket

Much surprise was expressed in
Kennewick Monday when it was
learned that C. w. Fistoe, former
democratic prosecuting attorney, had
filed as a republican for the office
of representative from Benton coun-
ty in opposition to Mark M. Moul-
ton., 1t had been generally suppos-
ed that Mr.. Moulton had given such
general satisfaction as a representa-
tive that no. opponent would care to
file. ~
1t has been learned however, that
the Prosser district has completed :
very successful registration drive
and it is believed that this fact ha.
a bearing on the candidacy of Mr.
Fristoe at this late hour. The Ken
newick district has made very poor
registration record this year, and
while it is generally admitted thai
Mr.. Moulton will poll a considerable
portion of the Prosser vote, the race
for this nomination may be close as
Prosser has great deal of Local
pride. The outcome may depend or
how many local voters register be-
fore the books close on August 10.

to use the space now occupied by his
grocery department with an enlarged
dry goods stock. The Commercial
Grocery, under r. H. Anderson, also
owned by Mr.. Neuman, will be con-
tinued as before.
Hood e. Hutchins have made no
definite plans for the future and will
remain in Kennewick for the present

JUDGE sTAsER BUSY

Spectators in police court enjoyed
themselves Tuesday when w. r.

charge of letting his cow run at large.
Mr.. Struve acted as his own attorney
and the Judge had considerable diff
Guilty making him believe that he
was personally responsible for the ac-
ton of his bovine whether she got
loose with his knowledge or not.
Mr.. Struve contended that his, and
not the cows intent should govern
in the case. The judge, however, held
that Mr.. Struve was liable for dam
ages done to neighbor's garden, re-
gardless of whether or not the own
er intended to securely fasten said
before mentioned bovine. Struve then
threatened to appeal the case, but
after consulting a lawyer he paid
his fine of $500 and costs.

MONEY PAID
HAY GROWERS
Association Reports That
Prospects for New Crop
u are Very Bright

During the last few days the
Northwest Hay association has mail
ed out pool payment checks making
total of over $4,000. This is for
approximately two-fifths of the hay.
The balance of the old hay of the
1923 crop grading No. and 2, alfal-
ia, is sold and delivery is expected
within this month. 1t is hoped that
final pool payments for these pools
can be made in the month of Septem-
Der. Some delay will be encountered
with mixed hay.
The total money received from the
sale Of hay up to July first was $170,-
900 and the total amount of money
paid out to growers on the 1928 crop
is $217,16 There is not a single
district but IN which more money has
been paid growers than has been re-
ceived from the sale of hay from the
district.
The past season developed car
movement of about four-sevenths
normal, yet the average price of all
hay shipped from the alfalfa produc-
ing sections of Washington averaged
from eleven to twelve dollars per
ton at loading point. Two years ago
when the car movement was espe-
cially light and a small carry-over
was left in spring, there was little
over a six-sevenths normal car move
ment, a carry-over of about 10000
tons as compared to nearly fifty
thousand tons this season and the av-
erage price to growers was around
seven to eight dollars per ton.
In the face of these facts, the as
sociation claims to have been the pri-
mary cause Of bringing more than
five hundred thousand dollars into
the valley and to have made it pos
sible to have marketed the full crop
at fair prices.
Plans are now under way for mar
keting coming crops much earlier
than last year and it is expected that
pool payments will begin upon the
new crop about the first of January.
indications as to prices are excep-
ionally bright at this time.

CITY FTREMEN
GOOD SPORTS
They Pay Baseball Debts
Accumulated by Pre-

At a meeting of the Kennewick
Firemen last week it was decided
that since their team had sufficient
money in the bank to pay all back
bills incurred by baseball teams of
previous years, that their organiza-
ton should wipe out all the old debts
against the national game.
This action was taken much to the
pleasure of business men who had
backed the game in previous years.
Manager Ferrell announced that after
all bills had been paid he still had
$4,000 for nest egg next year.

idea is to run the road from Wenat-

Waluke, and then cutting across the
Rattlesnake hill into Sunnyside and
connecting with the Washington.
Columbia route, by going over the
Goldendale hill.
In so much as this route is being

route, the Kennewick delegation Is
prepared to show that for such q
purpose this road with its steer
grades and high elevation would be

should be down the Columbia to Ken.
