SPORTS

Kennewick won it's third straight
oame on the home field by defeat
inc Hermiston 20-6 last Friday.
Kennewick did not show the power
IN line plays that it has in pre-
yious games, but a brilliant pass
inp attack enabled it to win by
GOOD margin.
Kennewick scored early in the
game when Richter blocked a punt
and Hudnall scooped it up and
made a touchdown. Hermiston
scored in the second period on
straight line plunging. Kennewick
was in a position to score just be-
fore the half ended, when the Her
miston safety fumbled a 50-yard
punt by Hudnall and Kennewick
recovered. Two short passes to
Spaulding added six more points
TO Kennewick's score.
In the second half Kennewick
literally swept Hermiston off her
feet with passes. Spaulding added
another touchdown by receiving
a long pass almost on the goal
line and the team was going strong
for another when the game ended.
Although Hermiston's defense
against passes was weak, their
aerial attack could not be denied.
Everyone Of Hudnalps heaves went
with a accuracy Of a bullet and
there were always receivers in the
open.
Altho the whole team played
well. there were no outstanding
stars in the line except Spaulding.
He made two touchdowns and
caught several other passes be-
sides the ones he scored on.
When this game is printed the
results of the Armistice game will
be known. The only game left on
Kennewick's schedule is the Tur-
key Day game.

sWHITECARGO' IN.
TENSE DRAMA
Love in Tropics is Theme Of
Excellent Play to be at
Liberty Theatre Nov. 25

-,
An intense play, amazingly realis-
tic in its picturing of tragic pas
sion with a tropical inferno as its
setting, is "White Cargo" which will
be at the Liberty Theatre Wednes-
day, Nov. 25. 1t presents artistically
what Richard Walton Tully presented
in terms of obvious melodama when
he wrote .'The Bird of Paradise
the plight of white man married to
a primitive woman with whom he can
have nothing in common save ply
steal impulse that soon wears itself
out in disgust.
There is no clap-trap, however, IN
White Cargo. Its effects are logic
ally developed; it sustains interest
and stirs the emotions and all without
resort to the more obvious devices
of the theatre. It is interesting by
virtue of it's dramatic revelation OF
Caucasian character when subjected
to the test of tropical climate. The
men who move thru it's three acts
are actual men, not mere lay figures
patterned to suit the purposes of
manipulation of melodrama. The sharp
hatreds and bursts of temper in.
duced by taut nerves; the fearful mo-
notony of existence where intense
heat is the one great reality; the ten
dency of white men. living in such
an environment. to seek surcease in
alcohol-it is all brought very near
to us.
The action moves with the newt
ability of classic tragedy. When
young Lanford, dapperly dressed. en-
thusiastI, fresh from London. joins
the group of tired nervous, careless
ly groomed men in the rubber COM
pany's settlement on the west coast
of Africa, one senses his ultimate
yielding to the sinister influence OF
the place. Like the men he finds there
he to-, will learn to do without the
niceties of civilization, and to revise
his views of morality. 1t is his strug-
gle against the inevitable that pro-
vides the dramatic motivation OF the
play.
He scorns-at first-all white men
who solace themselves with the fav-
ors of black women. But within a
few months he is hopelessly enam-
cured Of the half-breed strumpet,
Tondeleyo, and in a fit of rash anger
against a colleague who taunts him
he announces his determination to SET

Putting Things Over

Do not put things OFF; have
them done and off your mind, for,
# q thing is put off until later
there is always the dread of doing
# before you, and it is bound to
spoil your pleasure. If you have a
thing to do, get in, do it, make it
q thing of the present and the past
and not one of the future, as is
+he habit with so many of us.
Many of the things we put off
continually are very small in
themselves and it would only take
> minute or two, to remedy the
trouble.
IF YOU have the habit of putting
things off, change it. You will be
amply paid.

"White Cargo" is a drama richer
in interest than anything Kennewick
has seen in many, many months. Al
so, it is very effectively enacted by
cast in which there are no weak spots.
Marshall Vincent, as middle-aged
doctor hopelessly enmeshed by the
enervating climate, contributes the
finest bit of portraiture. and others
whose acting touches a high plane of
excellence are Isabelle Herbert, who
plays the girl, Toneleyo; Earl Dwire,

There is similar agitation in
several bureaus of the Depart
ment of Agriculture where those
who have been entrenched for
years resent intrusion of new
ideas by incoming executives.
The talk of abolishing govern
mcnt bureaus is Just talk and
nothing more. For years certain
groups have advocated the abol-
ition of this and that federal
division or bureau, contending
that it was overlapping, unneces-
sary, etc. A survey shows that
only one or two minor bureaus
were abolished by legislation.
There have been instances where
divisions have been merged and
the personnel transferred, few
having been completely wiped
out. Bureaucrats and others hav-
ing a place in the sun do not
know political parties. Each adj
ministration has its share Of in
ternal squabbles. These affairs
may be compared to family quar-
rels where individuals abuse each
other but unite against criticism
of the group.

And yet il cannot be told too
often. Thousands Of men have

KETTLE RIVER BOYS
DO HEAVY BATTING
Visitors Defeat Askov in
Run-A-Way Score
of 10 to Z.

The base ball game at Askoy
Sunday between Kettle River and
Askov was a gilt-edge affair un-
til the seventh inning and from
then on perhaps the less said the
better. In the seventh frame
the visitors started their real
heavy bombardment, securing s
scores and in the eighth the flu
SHADE was continued, 5 scores be-
ing chalked up.
But as before said the contest
was good until the seventh. in
fact it was a beauty. There was
batting and fielding both and but
very few errors, in fact only few
errors throughout the entire
game. Jens Hyldahl was on the
mound for Askov and the Kettle
River boys started heavy at
tack as soon as play ball was
called. Jens, however, weathered
the storm but the visitors were
not retired before 4 hits had been
chalked up and 3 scores regis
tered. The first three Askov bat
tiers to face the Kettle River
-Korhonen-were retired
by the strike-out route. In the
second inning Askov scored one
run through clever base running

UNIVERSITY DEBATERS
ARE WELL RECEIVED

The debate under the title of
Does Education Pay?" present
ed at the North Star Farmers
Club hall Saturday evening by
two young University men-El-
mer Starch and Alfred Sjowall--
was well received and much en-
joyed by the audience. The de-
baters did very well and I'M
doubtedly left with the audience
the impression that it is well to
at least have a fair degree Of
schooling and that the Universe
ty Farm is a good place for far
mer boys and girls to acquire
such knowledge whether they re-
main on the farm or take up 9th
er work allied with farming.
Rex Truman entertained de-
lightfully by singing a few num-
bers and County Agent Hammar-
gren who presided at the meet
ing. introduced the new agricul-
tural man of the Sandstone high
SCHOOL,. ID. Richards-who
made a few remarks. Mr.. Rich
ards is taking the place of H. H.
Amos who was agricultural man
at Sandstone for seven years.
Mr.. Hammargren said he could
hardly appear at a meeting of
farmers in the county without
some little remark about
alfalfa. He encourages the grow
ing of that grass but says the soil
must have proper lining. Mr..
Hammargren also announced the
auto tour to be taken to Coon
Creek. near Anoka, on Thursday,
July 16. for the purpose of look
ing over alfalfa plots-limed
and not lined. Folks from all
over the county are invited. The
place is at Henriette at

MAJORITY OF BUREAU
OFFICERS REELECTED
County Organization Had
Annual Meeting at
Hinckley Saturday.

The annual meeting Of the
Pine County Farm Bureau which
was held at Hinckley Saturday
afternoon was an enthusiastic
one. L. C. Petersen, Askov,
president of the county organi-
zation, presided. The minutes Of
the last annual meeting and the
financial statement was read by
the secretary, l.. F. Appleby, Pine
City. and approved. The finan-
cial standing of the Farm Bur-
eau is better than it has been for
years. showing a progressive
growth since the reorganization
in the fall of 1923.
County Agent w. F. Hammar-
gren gave report of the years
work showing a considerable in
crease in activities over the pre-
vious year. The debate put on
by Mr.. Starch and Mr.. Sjowall of
the University Farm, was well
received. These two gentlemen
have put on a series of debates
throughout the county during
the past week and have been re-
ceived very well at all points.
The election Of officers resulted
as follows: L. c. Petersen,
Askov, president; G.. w. Jewell,
Pokegama, vice president; A. w.
Sommers, Pine City, secretary
treasurer; Mrs. Boreen. Pine
town, director; J. r. Hannu. Fin

Holland. Pine City, state director.
Definite plans were made for
an annual Farm Bureau picnic
to be held next year, recommend
ing that this be an annual event.
Considerable business of import
ance was discussed and all felt
that this has been a very pro-
gressive as well as instructive
year in Farm Bureau work.

Washington, July lit seems
that the President means to
make his visit at Swampscott a
real vacation insofar as his Off
cial duties will permit. The re-
action has already been felt in
the quality of news dispatches
emanating from the summer
capital. Some correspondents
have been withdrawn from the
Massachusetts, assignment and
either returned to Washington or
sent to Dayton, Tenn, for the
sensational features of the forth
coming evolution trial. 1t is APP
parent from these switches that
public opinion will be turned
toward the question of evolution
and the Bible rather than poll
tics.
In Washington there is little of
political interest to warrant
newspaper space. The absence
of the Chief Executive and Con-
gress accounts for the dearth of.
real live political information.
Seasoned observers refuse to be-
come excited over talks of abol-
ishing certain government agen-
cies when Congress convenes
next December. From the stand
point of government officials and
employees, today is the beginning
of the fiscal year Of 1926. Usu-
ally new laws become effective
on July and old laws expire on
June 80, although there are some
exceptions to the rule. The most
important feature of the day is
the fact that appropriations are
made available today and this
means renewed interest in gov
ornamental programs, especially
economic activities.
The various internal scraps in
the governmental departments
provoke all sorts of proposals fol
legislative cure-alls. There are
some senators and congressman
who are now advocating the abol,
ishing of the Federal Trade Com.
mission and the Tariff Commits.

ments with a total of 1853 cows.
The permanent officers were in
structed TO proceed to locate a

them of a good permanent insti-
