In this day and age, as ever was,
many people are inclined to make
it their business to find out what
other people are doing. Is this
right? Perhaps some feel that the
other person is incapable of handl-
ing his own affairs properly but
certainly their own are not being
done right when they are not there
to tend it. Let us tell ourselves
that other people are just as cap
able of transacting their business
as we are ours and then do our
own to the best of our ability. 1t
everyone does his own work and
does it well, there will be less ne
elected occupations in this world.

About noon we decided to hike
to the top of the mountains but
the majority Of us got only to the
top of the first ridge when we
were ready to descend again. Six
of the boys. however, did go to
the top and bring back some snow
to prove that they were there.
About two o'clock we all left
for Walla Walla. our object being
to visit the penitentiary. Owing
to the fact that Mr.. Craver took
us thru we all came out again and
were So much the wiser.
The group then separated but
we noticed that the majority of the
class attended the shows. We came
back to Kennewick a tired group
but each one saying that they had
"perscrumptious" time.
We might add that we are sorry
that the juniors attempt to stop
our sneak was so entirely fruitless
and we hope that next time they
will do better.

SPORTS

Kennewick lost their third game
of the season to Hanford in a bat
tie that was decided by luck alone.
The score was 7-6. Hartford was
held to three hits while Kennewick
made eight. but IL errors made by
Kennewick's team helped Hanford
win. But it was mainly luck that
Kept them in the rear. Their field
ers happened to play out of posi-
ton just when they could inter-
cept ordinarily safe hits. they
made catches that would have been
a credit to a college player. and
they seemed to have horseshoe
with them all the time. The poor
fielding of our team was largely
due to the fact that they did not
have enough practice on account Of
work. Several players had only
turned out one night. However,
their batting has improved great

practice this week. Kennewick ex-

PAIN AND FEAR
by

DR.. r. D. Mcclure, Detroit
Member Gorgas Memorial Institute
Are you afraid of an operation?
Most people are. If you are afraid,
have you ever analysed your feelings
to find out why? Perhaps you arc
afraid that you will be hurt-afraid
Of pain!
Pain has been probably one of the
most valuable agents in the preser-
walton of the race as well as the in
dividual. 1t has taught us that we
must not touch hot stoves, put fing-
ers in cog wheels, drink boiling hot
liquid, allow sand or foreign bodies
to remain In our eyes Or fish bones
in our throats.
Our great regret should be that
pain is not the universal danger sig
nal of all things harmful to us. One
Of the greatest causes of death be-
yond, middle life is cancer and un-
fortunately pain is not an early symp-
tom.
If overeating and intoxication pro-
duced pain instead of sleepiness our
race today would be very different
one and the individuals would be ages
ahead Of the present state, physically.
It took ages to find out what differ
ent pains meant and to realize that
many pains are danger signals of in
ternal disorders Or arrangements Of
inner machinery -conditions which
!. can be corrected if these danger sig
mails are needed and the proper dag
nosis followed. +
Appendicitis still ranks high as
the cause Of eath-because Of SLOW
response of seeking expert attention
after the first warning pains.

in that it is warning signal i

OH, THAT SENIOR SNEAK!
(by Alta Britton)

Last Thursday morning great
excitment reigned among the three
lower classes of Kills. They were
confronted by profound vacancy
in the senior room. Little did they
realize that in the wee hours of
the morning the seniors left on
their annual sneak and were al
ready in the mountains on the 9TH
er side of Walla Walla. There
were six car loads of us and we
surely were a lively bunch.
We arrived in Walla Walla at
about GAS and after roaming
about the city for half hour, left
for the mountains. Just as we
were reaching our destination it
began to rain Slightly so, as to
be sure we wouldn't get wet and
so we would have a stove upon
which to place the coffee pot we
rented large open air cabin. The
furniture in the cabin was rather
dilapidated but consisted of a
stove, table, mattress, quilt and a
broom. The first discovery ICON
corning the cabin) was made by
Kenneth Kadow when he found
there was missing link-of stove
pipe. To remedy this evil the boys
found an old piece of pipe but it
proved inadequate so we placed the
stove on lofty foundation con-
sisting of two saw horses and
some old boards.
At 1890 we were "nearly starv-
ed" So the eats were unwrapped
and each and every one slowed
away a goodly share. 4
EXCITEMENT was beginning to die
down when the roof of our cabin
caught fire, but due to the pres
ence of some expert firemen the
fire was put out with one cup of

 Attorney McDonough's demurrer tc the complaint on which klmbal
 Burgess is awaiting trial for em- bezzlement of $l.0lS.1S while he was manager of the Elaborated Roofing Co. office at Myrtle street, was overruled and the trial set down for o'clock next Monday morning. On request of Attorney McDonough, Raymond Smith of Hartford, court stenographer, will be engaged to make the transcript of the testi- mony.
 Attorney McDonoush, in his de- murrcr contended that the informa- ton in the complaint is not suffi- ciently definite and lacks certainty. The defendant is entitled to know w ether he is charged with appro- priating money to his own use or to the use of others. Either Is a crime. and both are charged in the ronl.' int. he contended.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods op- nosed the demurrer. He said no de- fense attorney. has attempted 10 de- mur to a complaint of this nature in the l2 years he has been connected with the court. and the only reason for this demurrer is Attorney Mo desire to inconvenience him. He evidently expects the attorney to chase all over the country and find everyone 10 whom the money went, Mir.

VOLUNTEER CORPS

 Means to Offset Menace
 BRIGADE MAY BE FORMED Post Office Gives Instruction For
Post Office Gives Instruction For Christmas Mailing - Town Clerk Receives New Equipmcnt-Other Items of Interest

Blue Hills residents, after consid- ering the lack of fire protection. have concluded that the only solu- ton to the problem will lie in a cooperative plan and the formation Of volunteer department.
 It has been suggested that the town furnish place with few fire eXtinguishers that would be within easy reach of the homes not easily reached by the trucks. The cost would be slight. Some talk has been offered of engaging the Merl- den fire department for service in Blue Hills as il is more easily reach ed from the Silver City, but the op- position states that an insufficient water supply in that section would render any department helpless and would not be worth the cost of guar antec.
 As the district is assessed for fire protection and yet has no fire district the question of fairness has been raised by Blue Hillians. It is thought by most residents of this place that it is no uore than just that some service should be afforded the com munity as repetition of last Thurs days fire would be blot on the towns pages. The difficulty in ob- taining insurance on Blue Hills pro- pcrty is hamper to building in that locality and Blue Hills, it is stated, will not progress normally until some consideration is taken of the existing conditions.
 The forming of volunteer de- partment would bind every resident to answering calls in that district. the lack of coop .ation makes this brigade useless as all that was saved from the flames at the Molumphy place were four bags of cement. An orderly body of volunteers equipped with cxtinguishers could probably have saved more of the furnishings.
 such a brigade would necessarily have to provide some means of sig nal for fire In that district, 1t is stated, and several plans have been offered by Blue Hil'ians. One is the erection of an old fashioned hammer and alarm In I central position. An other suggestion is the installation or siren that would be easily reached. A system of signals that would locate the position of the blaze would have Co be drafted, It is thought that the Blue Hillians themselves would. through personal subscription, raise part of the funds necessary for equipment
 H,'day Quiet
 Thanksgiving was observed quietly fin this place yesterday, the absence of even fairly heavy vehicular traffic marking the holiday as one of the millest in history. No public cele- brations, either in the form of d1nccs or parties. were given al though some families hold "old home day. with out of town mcm- bcrs present for the carving of the turkey.
