TEN HURT in
AUTO ACCIDENT
Cars Crash when Buick is
Unable to Give Share
of Road

An automobile accident on the
River Road west of town last night
injured, more or less, the ten people
who were being carried as passen-
gers. One woman is very seriously
hurt, just how badly it will be i'm
possible to tell for another twenty
four hours, according to the doctors.
IA Buick car. driven by j. F. Saun-
ders, of Bickleton, was unable to
make the turn, and attempted to pass
the Ford at the same time. The Ford
was driven by T. K. Sparks of Lind,
who had gone clear over into the
ditch to avoid the crash. The Buick
carried four passengers and the Ford
six. Mrs. Sparks is in the hospital
at Pasco, as is also one of the boys
who was injured by a bolt passing
throuhg his checks, terribly injur-
ing his mouth. All ten received in
juries from the shakeup.
Both cars were badly damaged.

SENIORS TO PUT
ON 3-ACT SHOW
'Tweedles" by Booth Tark-
ington to be Staged Dec.
4th at Liberty

sTweedles," comedy in three acts
will be staged by the senior class
of the local high school at the Lib
erty theatre next Friday night, De
cember A. The play. one of Tarking-
tons latest comedies, is a clever
satire on families, who, in their own
opinion, are the best.
The plot develops when the son
of a blue-blooded family, spending
the summer in Maine village, falls
in love with one of the natives,
a daughter of the oldest family IN
the village, who esteem their name
because it has been rooted in the
community for some 200 years. Each
family looks down upon the other for
about the same silly reason and there
is fun aplenty.
"Tweedles," is Booth Harrington
at his best. Surprising situations and
clever dialogue are supported by the
following cast: Ardice Sheppard,
Ethel McReynolds, Lois Jean Pfister,
Glenna Kincaid. Everett Grouse, Ken
meth Kadow, Kenneth Serier. Buster
Paden and John Soth.

CLIMATE is
NOT CHANGING
Winters Get About So Cold
and Summers Are
No Milder

Washington farmers are being
warned against placing faith in fore
casts of an extremely cold winter
ahead to be followed by an unseason-
able summer in 1926. The winter may
be extremely cold and the summer
unreasonable, but scientists have no
means of telling it at this early date.
A week is the longest dip possible
into the weather future.
Neither is there reason for believ-
ing that the winters in this section
are no longer so cold nor the sum-
mers so hot as formerly, according to
the report which quotes weather bu-
reau figures on the point, running
back three decades. The mean Decem-
ber-January-and- February tempera-
ture over the decade 1895-1904, was
31.0 degrees. For the decade 1906
1914 it was 1913 degrees; and for
1915-1924, 28.9 degrees, a difference
in the total range of IL degree. The
mean temperature for the same three
months last year was 31.0 degrees.
While the weather is constantly
changing from one year to another,
big climatic changes are too gradual
to be observed in the lifetime of one
Or even hundred generations, the
report states. Scientists figure
that the climate of this continent has
not changed in some ten million years
not since the passing of the glacial
period, and probably will not for an
other million.

STUDY
HAY FEEDING
Experiment Station will
Feed 200 Animals to get
Diet Data

Feedlots- at the Irrigation Branch
Experiment Station have been filled
with 200 cattle from the Coffin Bros.
range near Wenatchee and Ellens-
berg. The herd includes " yearlings,
100 two-year-olds, and Is three-year
olds. They will be fed for four months
on contract basis, with the purpose
of fattening for market.
Thirty-five of the two-year old
steers will be used in feeding expert
ments. The 10 steers in Lot 1 will re-
ceive a generous allowance of alfal-
ia hay only. TIL five steers in Lot
2 will be fed for at least 60 days on
the refused or waste" hay from Lot
l. The amount of hay offered to Lot
1 will be regulated somewhat by the
amount Of refused hay which Lot 2
will consume. The Is steers contained
in these lots will be fed for more
than four months and may be mar
keted as hay fed cattle Or continued
until summer on sweet clover pas
ture. These lots will be fed to study
the efficiency of alfalfa hay alone
in fattening two year old steers for
market, to secure data on the value
of the hay commonly refused, and to
gain information on the feeding val
ue Of local hay which will aid in the
Interpretation of results secured when
hay is supplemented with other feed.
The 10 steers in Lot will receive
one part of alfalfa hay to one and
one-half parts Of corn silage and
those in Lot will have one part of
hay to three parts of silage. This is

Railroader Instantly Killed
At Plymouth In Row
Over a Woman
SELF DEFENSE is
PLEA OF KILLER
S. P. & S. Man Bothers Lady
Operator who Calls on
Friend for Protection

The coroner's jury returned a veT-
dict of self defense in the shooting
case at Plymouth last Friday noon,
when ID. w. Koeller was shot and in
stantly killed by John A. Covington,
of The Dalles.
Koeller, brakeman on the S. p
& S. had been infatuated with Mrs.
Bernice Wright, relief operator sta
toned at Plymouth. For some time
past he had been pleading with her
to marry him, but had been refused.
Thursday Mrs. Wright received 3
note from Koeller, saying he would
be down from Pasco to see her the
following day. Fearing trouble, she
asked Covington. a conductor on thu
O.-W. to be present. Upon his ar
rival, Koeller talked with Mrs.
Wright, again insisting that she mar:
ry him. Showing her gun, he stated
that he would use the gun on her
and Covington unless she consented,
and then would suicide by means Of a
vial of poison, which he also dis
played.
She returned to the station and
told Covington about the threats.
During another half hour converse
tion. Covington left the station and
borrowed gun, fearing trouble. Go
ing into the station with Mrs. Wright,
Covington locked the door, refusing
Koeller admittance. Koeller demanded
that they unlock the door, saying he
would break the door down. Smashing
in the panel, with the gun in his hand
he attempted to enter. Covington
shot, intending to hit the others gun,
but he, being crouched down, was hit
below the right ear, killing him in
stantly.
Covington and Mrs. Wright notified
local authorities Immediately and q
coroner's inquest was held at once.
Covington was taken to Prosser and
kept in Jail pending further investi-
cation and Mrs. Wright is being held
at the county seat also.
Prosecuting Attorney Beardsley
went to Plymouth yesterday to deter
mine whether further action should
be taken. but is as yet undetermined.
Later both Covington and Mrs.
Wright were released, the prosecut-
ing attorney deciding the shooting
was purely case of self defense.

MARKS AIRWAYS

To assist in the development of
aviation, and to increase safety and
certainty of air travel, the Standard
Oil company, following suggestion
from the office of the chief of air
service, war department, will estab-
lish a widespread system of guide
signs for avistors along the airways
of the Pacific coast states, giving the
Pacific coast its only marked airways
and the first of the kind in the coun-
try. These signs will take the form of
names of towns painted on the roofs
of the Company's buildings. The
company will also offer cooperation
to the naval air service, the air mail
service and commercial filters.

OWE OBIGATIONS
TO COMMUNITY
Backbone of Community is
in Merchants Support
to Residents

There is a debt you owe to your
home town but whatever the bill is,
none will be presented to you for pay
ment. If you do not realize the size
of it, nobody will try to tell you.
You know what the town has done
for you, and you should know better
than anybody else what you ought
to do for the town.
Two questions may serve to bring
the issue home to you.
When your wife and children were
critically i'll, was it the doctor from
the city who pulled them through?
You never even thot Of calling him.
Your first thot was Of the home town
doctor, and he saved the lives Of your
dear ones.
When you lost your job who gave
you credit, and tided you over the
winter?
It certainly wasn't the store in the
city that advertises bargains" for
the country shopper. The merchant
Of Kennewick stood by you then, as
he has for others, and as he will
again some time when the emer-
gency arises.
If these things have not happened
to you. they have happened to your
neighbors, and you know about them.
Mere money cannot pay for disinter-
ested service such as the doctor and

cumstances. And these instances are
not cited with the idea of wakening
a feeling of obligation toward those

IT'S A HORSE ON
BILL MULDROW
Just That, Nothing More :
Stunt Too Funny to
Work First Time

People unaware of Bill Muldrow's s
fondness for kids have wondered late
ly about the s'horse" he has been
carrying around on the side of his
car. Those who know Bill better,
have taken it for granted that he has
been making some kid happy by pro-
viding him with hobby. However,
both are wrong. The 'shorse" is a de-
coy.
Bill is a great hunter, and is es-
pecially fond of shooting geese. But
sitting for hours in a pit on the
Horse Heaven hills has lost some of
it's novelty in the past few years.
Seeing geese half mile, maybe.
away feeding on sidehill with the
horses moving freely among them
gave Bill an idea.
Hence the, decoy. Ali painted up
like an Indian cayuse, the decoy is
carried by two men, who move slowly
toward the geese. When in range both
let fly into the flock. Result: Lots
Of geese without the long cold wait,
and without the necessity Of digging
pits all over the hills. At least that
is the theory.
The first time the stunt was tried
Muldrow and Cap Vickers rugged up
in the outfit and sauntered toward a
flock Of unsuspecting honkers. The
thing was so funny that both the
fellows got to giggling and spoiled
the whole show. However, if either
of these fellows get a liberal streak
some day in the near future, and
start giving away geese, it's proof
that the stunt worked.
