They all grew to match each other
and stopped. And Madame Rennee
she seems to have come through
without a gray hair or a wrinkle,
even If she does warn you about
her age.
But you can't exactly figure out
her lack of years-and it is hard
enough to bring up three daughters
the way they ought to go without
having to bring them up in the in

expertly.
Madame Rennee IL French-she
talks with a nice accent-and she is

on the stage with her since they
were three. four and six respectively.
They have grown up in American

were in Vienna when war was de-

Every spring the question OF

But there is a flaw in their
argument. For quite some time
now the day has consisted Of
twenty-four hours. The apportion-
ment to daylight and darkness was
settled without reference to any
city council.
Their actual number can't be
increased by any human device.
From whence would the additional
hours come?
So 1t is immaterlal whether

Daylight and darkness would fol

their only real accomplishment is
to make time a puzzle to transient

Kwando confluence. The river here,
nearly a mile wide, suddenly plunges

POEM
THIS TOWN OF OURS

THIS TOWN OF OURS
If you don't like the kind of town
That this town seems to be,
If buildings here are tumbled
down,
A way you hate to see;
If something isn't up-to-date
Or good as things of old;
While other towns are simply great
Cor so you have been told)
If you would like to see a place
That's full of push and snap,
A town that hits a faster pace
A town that's on the map,
Yes, if you would like to know,
To bring it in jerk,
I'll tell you where you ought to go
You ought to go to work.
You needn't pack a trunk Or grip.
And leave the folks behind,
You needn't go and take trip,
Some other place to find.
You needn't go and settle down,
Where friends of old you'll miss.
For if you want that kind of town,
Just make it out of this.

Unusual interest is being shown
this year, on the part of the peo-
ple Of the community, in what the
High school is doing, both in the
standard of studying and in the
athletics.
The Kennewick High school is
a lively one and everyone is doing
his best to keep alive the inter-
est which the people of the COM
munity have been showing of late.
It is certainly appreciated and
gives each Individual something to
strive for, which is, to keep up
our standard so that you can be
proud.
To make thing successful all
those connected with it must go
half way and meet the others. This
is the feeling which everyone has
today. In other words we meet the
community half way and expect
the same.
More interest has been shown
this year in our athletics than in
previous years. The good receipts
were proved favorable. Also many
Of the business men closed their
place of business during the hours
of the football game, which was
appreciated and proves that we
are being loyalty supported.

joyed. Perhaps that is what en-
abled them to win the game Fri
