life is done by the muscles on the front part Of our chest and these become stronger than those on the back of the chest.
 This. together with our usual posi- ton of being bent forward in most of our daily tasks, tends to stretch the muscles on the back Of the chest and shorten those on the front and thus cause our shoulders and head to droop forward from their natural erect position.
 We are also prone to cat too much and this distends the abdo- men and stretches the relaxed mus cles of the abdominal walls, al- lowing the organs to sag. Knowing the causes of bad pos ture the remedy is plain. Increase lhe general strength Ot the muscles of the body by proper exercise. Bal ance the muscular tone by such exercises as will shorten and strengthen the stretched and weak ened muscles on the back of the chest and will stretch the contract cd muscles on the front of the chest.
 One should constantly strive to maintain correct positions in standing, walking and sitting, so that after a time these become easy and natural Wear clothing that does lot constrict the body or impede na- tnral movements. Correct any phy- sical defects and take proper ex- arcises for the attainment Of good posture.
 It in not possible in q brief arti- cie to describe suitable exercises that will develop and maintain a correct posture. For such eXcr- cises one may consult standard books or avail ones self Of the in struction and facilities that may be found in any good gymnasium. Physical Examination
 In such a gymnasium there will he found a physician who will, by making 8 physical examination. tell you whether or not you are in a con- i iition 10 exercise.

This Is exceedingly important because. if inc wrong kind Of exercise or too much exercise is taken, more harm than good may result.

was that Johnny Chuck got into mischief in this way.
 Now, it is one of the laws of life that 1t is always easier to do thing the second time. Johnny Chuck didn't know that he was do- ing any harm. He just didn't think anything about 1t one way or the other. But, having once climbed one of those little trees, it occurred to Johnny to climb another. At the time he didn't have anything par ticular to do. It occurred to him that he would like to be up high where he could look around. Ac- tually he was only few feet from the ground, but for one who lives all the time on the ground that is high. So up he went, and he sat for while, just looking around. Then, for the sake of something to do. he began to gnaw the bark. He

NEW REGISTRATION
ONLY IN THE CITIES
Country People Need Register but
Once Every Four
Years

The state law requires that all citi-
zens of the state be registered before
they are entitled to vote. Registra-
tion in the country precincts is for
a four year period while in organized
towns or cities a complete new regis
tration must be had every two years.
In this county the cities of Prosser,
Kennewick and Richland are the only
precincts in which a wholly new reg
istration must be had; if you live in
either of these three places you must
register if you wish to vote even tho
you, were registered at the last cleo
ton. In the country precincts those
who were registered for the last
election and still maintain residence
in the same place will not have to
re-register. Should you have moved,
however, into another precinct a new
registration will be necessary.
Better get in touch with your local
registration officer and find out whe-
ther your name is on the book or not
because if it isn't you will have no
vote coming this fall.

GROUNDHOG SAYS
WINTER is OVER
No Shadow Tuesday, No Fear of
Winter Now = Regular Old
Time Year

If there be anything to an ancient
superstition, Yakima should have
six weeks of fairly wintery weather,
in spite of the fact that the pussy
willows, advance heralds of spring,
are now showing their silky soft
ness on many limb over the valley.
This morning when Mr.. Grounding
stretched himself after his long win
ter's slumber, he yauwned and peeped
sleepily out of his hole -and scurried
back in again. Mr.. Grounding was
frightened by catching a glimpse of
his shadow, and every weather pro-
phet worth his salt knows that means
he will remain in his hole for another
SIX weeks and that during that per-
iod there will be winter weather.
So stated the Yakima Republic
Tuesday morning. But here in Ken
newick things are different. Mr..
Groundhog not only failed to see his
shadow, but he has been out before
and since his special day-fully con-
vlnced that spring has came and that
all is lovely. All our weather prophets
are of the opinion that Kennewickl
has been missed when it comes to
Wnted and that spring is already up
{ on us. They say this will be the first
normal year since 1906.

RICHLAND MAN
DIES IN FIRE
Fractured Skull, Mysterious
Fire Features in Death
of Aged Recluse

O. w. Anderson, well known local
character, met horrible death last
Thursday night at his home couple
of miles south of Richland. His body,
with legs and arms nearly burned
off, was dragged from the shoulder
ing ruins Of his home. A fractured
skull and other bruises were noted
by the coroner's jury, but it was not
thought that he met his end by foul
play.
Smoke issuing from the roof of
Anderson's home aroused neighbors
who broke open the door to find the
dead body in the smouldering debris
1t is thought that the aged recluse
had gotten up in the night, knocked
the lamp over and set fire to the mess
in which he existed. Suffering, per-
haps, from paralytic stroke, he was
unable to move.
Anderson, who had attained the
age of about 80, had accumulated
considerable wealth, it is reported,
which he had out in the form of
loans.
A son in Connecticut has been To-
Gated and daughter, Mrs. Amanda
Cox is here from Wardner. Idaho,
to attend the coroner's insCest which
is being held today.
The body was buried in the local
cemetery.

SCHOOLS COST
3-5 OF TAXES
Greater Economy Urged by
Auditor at Meeting of
Co. School Directors

The school directors meeting held
at the court house at Prosser was the
best attended and the most instruc-
tive and profitable of any ever held
in the county. There were fifty-six in
attendance and much interest was ev-
idenced by all in the very interesting
program arranged by Superintendent
Gilkey who is entitled to considerable
credit for the success of the meeting.
President George Black of the Ell
lensburg normal gave a very inter-
esting talk in which he dealt at con-
siderable length upon the modern re-
quirements of teachers.
Prof. Sparks of the same place, in
his address, dealt with the physical,
mental and moral development of
the child.
Mrs. M. H. Tamblin represented the
state superintendent and took up
many points Of interest to all.
E. o. Keene, county audotor, spoke
on the relations of the auditors Of
flee to the school directors. and on
the financial conditions of the dis
tricts; in his talk he stressed the i'm
portance of the school boards in the
matter of taxation, showing that they
had the levying of larger percent
age of the taxes than any other body,
that the school tax in some districts
amounted to more than three-fifths
of the total levy and urged greater
economy and better businesses adj
ministration in the conduct of school
affairs that greater tax reductions
might become possible.
Miss Harcus read a very interest
ing paper dealing with the work of
the county nurse in the schools.

TRAPPERS GET 191
COYOTES AND z CATS
Bounties Paid by State Through
Auditor 81 for Coyotes
and S. for Cats

Trappers in Benton county seem
to be meeting with very gratifying
success this winter, Judging from the
claims that are being made for boun-
ty. Up to December 81 there had
been one hundred nintey-one coyote
pelts and seven cats presented on
which bounty was paid. The bounty
on coyotes is one dollar and on cats
five dollars.
Many people have the idea that
the bounty is a county expense but
such is not the case. A county boun-
ty could not legally be paid even tho
it was desired to do SO. The bounty
is a state bounty even tho payment
is made at the office of the county
auditor, where the pelts are present.
ed. AT the end Of each quarter a
claim is made to the state auditor
for the amount paid during the quar-
ter and state warrant is returned
reimbursing the county for the pay
ments that have been made.

A chicken is the silliest thing IN

chicks will be Matched March 8 and
the process will be continued thru

cialty of day-old chicks and has l2OO
hens in the valley mated for his

GOLF CLUB TO HOLD
MEETING TUESDAY
Election of Officers and Plans for
Year is Principal Business
to be Transacted

The annual meeting of the golf
club will be held next Tuesday eve
ming at the Commercial club rooms,
when plans for the coming season
will be formulated and new officers
selected.
According to those most interested
in the ancient and accepted game, it
will be necessary this year to use
different methods of financing. With
an estimated budget for the year of
$675 it is expected that substantial
boost in the dues will be necessary.
However, Kennewick has enjoyed the
cheapest golf in the world to date
and even with the increased cost, the
expense will be far below that in 9TH
er places.
All those interested in the game,
whether members of the club or not
are invited to be present next Tues
day night.

GARDNER QUITS
SECRETARY JOB
Will Edit Publication for
Motor Bus Firm To
Take Effect March l

To become secretary of
the Motor Coach association of Wash
ington, A. r. Gardner announced thru
the press this week. that he had, on
Friday, January 2S, rendered his res
ignation as secretary to Governor
Harley. The resignation is to become
effective not later than March 1.
In his letter of resignation, Mr..
Gardner pointed out that he was
making the change on account Of the
wider opportunities which he felt his
new work would offer and also be-
cause the requirements of his position
as secretary to the governor were
beyond his physical powers. Mr..
Gardner will have charge of the Of
ficial publication of the Motor asso-
citation, trade journal which will
be launched within the next few
months, he said. The association. re-
Gently organized. is composed of con-
Germs engaged in the transportation
of passengers only. Mr.. Gardner's Of
flee will be in Seattle.
In his letter 70 the governor, Mr..
Gardner said: SIN accepting this po-
sition (secretary to the governor) i
was well aware that the first year
would call for unusually strenuous
effort. / had been hopeful, however,
that following the extraordinary ses-
sion of the legislature, the duties
would be less arduous. II #.e
''It is now apparent that the next
IL months will call for a perform
ance beyond my physical powers.
Consequently, in fairness to you, to
my family and to myself. | consider
it my duty to give up the secretary
ship in order that it may be given
over TO some one better qualified and
more able than / to carry on during
the remaining three years of your
administration"
Mr.. Gardner expressed apprecia-
tion for the many courtesies shown
him by the governor and assured the
governor that his sincere best wish
es would attend the chief executive
in his future efforts"
Governor Hartley said today that
he would probably have statement
soon on Mr.. Gardner's resignation,
but that he had not yet had an op-
portunity to prepare anything. He
intimated that he regretted deeply
Mr.. Gardner's determination to re-
sign, but pointed out that Mr.. Card
ner had been in poor health recently.

WARDEN RAISES
UPLAND BIRDS
May Close Hunting Season
Game Preserves are
Being Formed

County Game Warden N. E. Pal
mer has probably done more for
game protection and game propaga-
tion than any other game warden ev-
Ier in the employ of the county. Dur
ing the shooting season he is on the
job from daylight until after dark
and many shooting after hours or
those hunting without license have
felt the heavy hand of the law as a
result of his vigilence. Besides striv-
ing for better enforcement of the
game laws he has done much to
maintain the supply of upland game
birds. Every year a large number of
pheasant and Hungarian eggs are
hatched under bantam hans which he
keeps for that purpose and raises IN
rurs on his lots in town. From the
time they are hatched and until they
.sre cid cnoreh 10 liberaste and care
for themselves Nick is kept busy
rustling food for them. He says their
favorite food is ant eggs and almost
any time during the summer he may
be seen securing the countryside with
a shovel looking for ant hills from
which he can get a meal for the
little fellows.
Mr.. Palmer says the hunters are
getting the better of him however,
and that unless some method can be
devised for increasing the hatch it
will be necessary to close the season
on pheasants and huns for year or
two and give them a chance to catch
up. A game preserve has been formed
along the Yakima river near Pros
ser and he is working to have Gre
ated a game preserve of about two
sections of land about three miles
northwest of there. There are several
county-owned tracts of land in that
neighborhood and it is his plan to
plant wheat, corn and kaffir corn on
those tracts to furnish food and shell
ter. It is thot that the cooperation Of
the farmers in that neighborhood can
readily be secured for the formation
of a game refuge that will form an
ideal nesting place during the sum-
mer and place of safety during the
hunting season.
