Meetings

On Monday afternoon, October
4th at o'clock. at the Commercial
club rooms. Miss Gage will meet
with all women at this end of the
county to plan extension work, for
the fall and coming spring. In
order to make the time go around
and to be able to reach all women
desiring work in nutrition, house
planning. kitchen improvement,
basketry, rug making. lampshades,
millinery, dressmaking, or gift
suggestions, it will be necessary
to plan definitely the. program to
be followed. There should be at
least two women frc-1 each con-
munity or group with a definite
idea of what is wanted by their
group and the approximate date
that it is desired. Telephone or
written requests will be considered
but all work will be done i'm groups
of from eight to Is. Individual re-
quests should be in early so that
notice can be given of meetings
planned.
Advice will be given at this
meeting as to the materials neces-,
sary for the various projects and
where they can be obtained.

Buster Paden

Kennewick lost heart-breaking
game of football to Milton-Free
water on the home field last Fri
day, by score of 60. The local
squad was within scoring distance
twice. but something always seem
ed to ego wrong. Milton-Free-
waters lone touchdown came in
the second quarter when Hufford,
Millions star halfback intercepted
a forward pass and raced 80 yards
for touchdown. But in spite of
this defeat. it is very apparent
that Kennewick has improved a
great deal over the first game of
the season. Last Friday they were
playing against a much heavier
team, but regardless of this hand
leap, they made more consistent
yardage than did Milton-Freewat-
er. However. the improvement the
team showed indicates that Ken
newick has an aggregation that is
going to be a stumbling block for
more than one team. The line
played exceptionally well last Fri
day, but the back field has a few
weaknesses to overcome.
Next Friday, October /. the
squad goes to Walla Walla for
the third game. While Kennewick
is not entertaining any hopes of
walking bver Wa-Hi., they are
promising to make the game one
that will not soon be forgotten.
Smith is in the backfeld lineup
again and Richter has been switch
ed to the line. so that both back
field and line have been materially
strengthened. With these changes
Kennewick certainly ought to put
up a good brand of ball against
Walla Walla.

VOL. 2
SUCCESS

One day a scholar started out
m find the hard road of knowledge
and he travelled for twelve long
wears: but Success seemed always
in the distance. ....
Finally he came to the valley
of Decision; and as he wandered
alone not knowing which way to
take. an old man appeared before
him.
sWho are you?" asked the stu
dent. ....e.-... .zp..-.@
az am WISDOM" answered the
old man. "Long years have I wait
ed in this valley for YOU"
"Oh. tell me where / may find
Success: for / have travelled far
and the road is rough
And the old man said: Listen,
/ will tell you what / know. He
who sets out in search of Success
must leave these valleys, for Sue
cess lies far ahead. The mountains
of Stern Reality and Experience
will rise before him; these he must
climb; beyond them lies Success"
"But tell me, wise one, which
path shall take 2"
Wisdom shook his head. "That I
can not tell you. you must make
YOUR own decision; each man
strikes out a path for himself but
few reach the height of their de-
sire" With this he vanised.
Through the long night of indie
cision the student waited but at
last faint light played along the
horizon and he rose to follow it..
Then before him rose the noun
tains of Stern Reality and Exper-
fence. At the foot many paths ran
up. He chose the straightest and be-
gan to climb. After while the
path grew sleeper then less and
less marked, and finally a mere
trace. Bravely he struck path
for himself, until he reached a
mighty rock wall smooth and with
out break as far as the eye could
see. This was the wall of Defeat,
tI will build a stair against it
and once this is climbed. / shall
be almost there"
Truth, friendship, respect. love,
comradship, health and freedom
were some of the well chosen
stones of which he built his stair.
Lies and deceit. hatred and sus-
picion crept in and a whole years
work rolled down just for a few
ill chosen stones. AS he worked
the echoes of Despair came to
taunt him but he laughed bravely
and they soon skunk away. Years
he worked, finally building his
stair of good sound stones. At last
he came to the top but his strength
was gone; his work was done. AS
he looked back far down to the
valley he saw others coming. Their
path made easier by his work. By
the steps he had cut they would
mount and by the stairs he had
built they would climb.
The mist of death was in his
eyes as he turned back but his
heart was glad. He had reached his
greatest desire and had found
Success by being of service to
others.

Hawaiian Legend

lands have a legend that many
years ago the fire goddess, Pele,
whose home, they say, is now In
Hawaii, lived on the island o!
Kauai, far to the west. According
TO this legend, the water god drove
Pele from her western home, fore.
ing her to take up her abode in the

CANADA ACTS TO AID THE MINERS
 MARKET GOLD
ALTERS PLANS OF PAYING IN COIN AND WILL DEPOSITS
 NOTES

| SEATTLE, Jan. 13-Action by the Canadian Government to facilitate the
 marketing of Dominion gold in that
 country to decrease shipments from the United States and elsewhere was announced here yesterday at the offices of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way. Plans were made known re- gently at Ottawa, under which the Government mint would accept ship ments from the Canadian mines and pay the miners in gold coin, but by the new arrangement the process is simpler. The railroads statement says:
 Under the first agreement the mint merely acted as agent for the owner in handling the gold, which was to be deposited to the account of the owners in chartered banks. 1t has now been agreed that the De- partment of Finance will pay for the gold by the deposit of Dominion notes to the account of the owner, which will make the transaction much more liquid so far as he is concerned. The new arrangement will eliminate the necessity of coin- ing the gold, which will be held at the mint to the Governments cred it. The mining company will have
