tunity. Must be over 81 years of age

SPORTS
WE WIN AT LAST!

Realizing that the time had
come to change their course or
else quit, the baseball team PLAYED
up to form and won their first
CRANE from Finley 6-3 last Friday
The pitchers were given fine
support by the team and the game
was never in doubt. Lincoln held
Finley scoreless the first five in
nings. Kennewick did not hit in
the pinches very often or they
would have scored several more
runs, but the hitting of the entire
team showed much improvement.
Kennewick will play its second
home game next Friday with Rich
land. Reports say HIGHLAND has a
good left handed pitcher besides
some good hitters so the game will
very likely be real battle. Ken
newick never lost baseball game
70 Richland and the team this year
does not intend to break the rec
ord.

When the white men came to
this beautiful wild west with its
laundering rivers, its wonderful
landscapes, its rich soil where the
savage and blood thirsty Indians
roamed at will. they could not re-
sist the desire to drive out the
powerful red man and make if
their own home. The whites being
strong. sturdy, and adventurous,
could not see the value of so fine
a soil to the Indians and felt that
it was being wasted and so they
determined to make it still more
beautiful than it was. At first the
Indians and whites were friendly.
but as thepalefaces kept coming
and taking their lands. killing
their game which supplied them
with food and clothing and 'depriv-
ing them Of the wonderful valley,
their old ancestorial spirit came
to life and transformed them from
the friendly Indian to the most
savage and daring tribe in the
West.
Sitting Bull saw his tribe not as
a powerful nation that was con-
tented but a weak starving band
without home or country. He saw
that he must fight now or never to
save his people from the horrible
future so on a clear autumn morn
ing he gathered his warriors for
final attack. At dawn the brave
and desperate chieftan lead his
army against the whites. A bloody
and horrible battle followed with
Sitting Bull cutting down the
whites on both sides. All the
whites were killed and with them
went the gallant chieftan. He was
MORALLY wounded and he went off
to the swamps and passed away.
Years have passed and the winds
have exposed the bones of some
famous warrior (who knows but
what it might be this brave chief
tam. They were found on the is
land about six miles up the river
road. They were collected and
presented to the science depart
ment of the Kennewick high school
where they will be held as relic
of the past generation of the West.

The mosquito is menace against

states with many mosquitoes add
much population, from outside COM
munities, until steps are taken to
place the mosquito nuisance under
control. The idea that the mosquito is
as impregnable as the Rock of Glib
raltar is passing. Those who believe
the mosquito unconquerable are not
acquainted with the facts.
Mosquito control measures always
pay dividends. DR.. Thomas j. Headlee,
secretary of the New Jersey Mosqui-
to Abatement association reports that
$43, 100000 have been added to the
taxable valuations of the state every
year for the past ten at an annual
cost of only $225,000.

TRIUMPH OF PROMPTNESS

quently written upon messages in
days of Edward VIII of England.
Even later, tho while stage coach
es were still in use, important mes
sages and papers had to depend on
a slow means of reaching their
destination. So a delay. ever so
short, was a crime. One of the
greatest gains of civilization is the
measuring and utilizing of time.
Today we can do in single houE
what used to take twenty hours.
So now what should the penalty be
for delay? We must remember
that all things have advanced
along with newer business meth
DDS. better means of communities
ton. and newer forms of govern
ment.
Success is produced by two prin-
ciple things punctuality and az
curacy. On many occasions in life
if we hesitate or lose our nerve,
or neglect to do thing letter per-
feet, we fail in our purpose.
1t is a well-known fact that
may almost be called a maxim
"that what may be done at any
time will be done at no time
There is time for every duty and
that time is when the duty first
presents itself. The energy used
in putting off things might better
be used in doing. And certainly
when disagreeable things are put
off they only become the harder
and more unpleasant. Doing deed
is just like planting seed. Unless
it is done just at the right time it
is forever out Of season.
Very little can be said of the
value of the habit of early rising
but we certainly know that late
rising is one of the first signs of
family degeneracy. We must rise
early and work steadily if we do
all the things that we should each
day.
Someone has said that prompt
ness is a contagious inspiration"
Whether it is an inspiration, or an
requirement, it is one. of the prac-
tical virtues of civilization.

TENNIS

The tennis team opened its sea-

and the fact that several of the
players had to play in two match

very good showing as far as VIC

of the five for Kennewick, but all
of the games were holly contest

How much do you pay for your

That was the average for every man,

ty-one cents per capita amounts to

seemed strong today following the
proposal made Monday night by City
Council President BoyntOn j. Moore,
that a junior high school be con-
structed on the city barns site,
Prospect and Shelby SITS. The barns
have been abandoned.
School Board President Theodore
f. Vonnegut, said if the site was
to be a gift to the school city the
school would be erected on the site
and with its erection Shortridge
might be built on the Thirty-Fourth
st. tract.
"a large school can not be erected
on the site, but with a junior school,
to relieve the congestion, Shortridge
could be erected at Thirty-Fourth
St." he said
1t was indicated at the council
meeting Monday night that the pro-
posal would be placed before the
board soon.
Junior School Needed
Vonnegut said a junior school was
needed either in Irvington or an
the south side. He said Technical

necessity.

allow a few cents more on the tax

Vonnegut declared it would not
be possible for the board to consider
expenditure Of such an amount for
ground. The general situation for
locating Shortridge will be discussed
at the regular school board meeting
a week from tonight.
