hear it with a smile lit really is
not so bad as it migt beg. School

social activities. its exciting in

Games. and if one gets his lessons
every day the class room is an
interesting adventure and one is
mrprised that even the teachers
are not as stern as their looks
,ometimes suggest. We have the
student body control. which is
along the line of our own govern
ment. We do not yet quite realize
THAT school means to us. In later
years. perhaps we will wish that
re had tried and accomplished
more during our grade and high
school years. Today. in order to
get alone in this world. it is best
to have at least high school ed
ucation. So let this year be one
Of achievement upon which we can
look back with pride.

SPORTS

Friday, Sept. 18th Richland and
our team locked horns on the home
field and when the dust of the bat
tie cleared away the score board
Richland O, Kennewick 0. AS it
was the first game of the season,
the game was rather loosely play
ed on both sides and fumbles were
the vogue. Kennewick high out
gained the visitors but fumbled at
critical moments which lost them
the chance to score. However. this
game caused the whole team to
get their dander up and next Fri
day, the oath. battle royal is
promised when Milton-Freewater
meets the home gladiators at Ken
newick. Last year Kennewick lost
at Milton-Freewater by score of
26-O. but this year the whole team
can vouch for the fact that the
score is going to be decidedly re-
versed.
If material and coaching is an
indication Of good teams, Kenne-
wick high should have a team
whose calibre is as good as any
team in the country. Coach Ratch-
ford was assistant coach at Whit
man last year and while there,
made an enviable record. This is
the line up for Fridays game and
certainly ought to justify Kenne-
wick's hope for winning team:

The economics class was discuss
ing the question of over popula-

remedy. One boy offered sug-
gestion. His remedy was to send
part of the population to the
North Pole to establish ice cream
industries. This tip may be worth
while to an enterprising man.
"Who Is U.s. says the Frosh
Life is terribly cruel; at least
the freshmen think so. But no

Their days must be one long
agony Of fear and shrinking. their
sleep one horrible night mare un-
til their trial is over. It won't be

The sight of those poor frosh
should teach us kindliness and
should also awaken within us a
thankfulness that fate has seen fit
to deal with us more gently; that
we are freshmen no longer. How
happy we should be that we do
not have to deal with those soph-
ignores for they will show no mer-
cy. Grimly will they exact from
their adversaries the long felt
vengeance which they can now reap.
But cheer up freshies revenge is

SHORT FEED CROP M.AkE-aooD
FEEDING ESSENTIAL

|; 4 There will be no feed surplus this
year. The production Of feed grains
and hay in 1926 was less. bountiful
than in 1925, but with the. proper dis
tribution, there will be. enough to go
around.
These are the conclusions of the
Blue Valley Creamery Institute in a
review of the feed situation. Last
years crop production was heavy and
a total of over 225 millions of tons
of feed were produced. This year
conditions have not been so favor
able, and the prospects are for a
total feed production of 213,00O,00
tons, 5.3 per cent below last years
production, and about per cent I'M
der the average for the past five
years. Both concentrates and rough
ages are affected by this drop, but
the former is the more vital, includ-
ing as it does corn, which is Dy far
the most important feed crop pro-
duced.
The shortage in the feed crop pro-
duction this year is not as seri oIs as
might first appear because of the
heavy carry over from last years
bumper crops, particularly corn and
oats, the Institute states. Then, loo,
the smaller number of livestock, is
also a big factor. The horse and
mule population is more than 10
per cent under the fve-year average
and still decreasing, the beef and
dairy cattle are per cent under, and
the hog population about 10 per cent
below the average This means that
the lowered crop production thus
year will be balanced by the reduc-
ton in the number of live stock, and
will not necessitate reduced feeding.
For the most economical produc-
ton of butterfat, pork, eggs and
other farm products, the matte" of
proper feeding is the most import ant
factor. Therefore, with no oversup-
ply of good grain feeds OF. farms at
this time, it will pay big to give spe-
cial attention to feeding well and
without waste. Dairy cows will main
tain their body weight and good
health on a liberal supply Of good

them, all they, will cean up, at EACH
feeding. For milk production they
need additional feed in the form of
a well balanced grain mixture,
fed at the rate Of one pound
to every three of four pounds
of milk produced. Corn, of course,
is the cheapest and most efficient aog
feed in midwest states. Wien it is
supplemented with skimmilk, an ideal
feed for hogs lis made. A good dry
mash and skinnnilk with the regular
scratch grains for poultry is the sec
ret of large and most economical
egg production in winter.
At present the ratio between feed
costs and livestock prices makes feed
operations profitable, and it is not
expected that prices will advance suf-
ficiently to eliminate the margin of
profits in converting feed into meat
and animal products. However, with
closer adjustment of feed supply to
demand, it is probable that the gen
eral trend of the feed market will be
irregularly upward.

Tom never talks about his war rec

Eighteenth infantry. later being trans
ferred to the intelligence section as
observer, raider and sniper.
"For three months prior to the
battle of scissors, Tom, who was "A
scout, was sent out every night to the
German front to get information as to
what organization was there. His
manner Of getting the desired infOr-
nation was a novel one. A white
lieutenant accompanied him as far as
it was safe to go; Tom then went on
alone to the front. creeping through
the grass, bushes and weeds, and,
when a sentinel passed. captured him
with his bare hands and took him
back to the American camp, where he
was questioned. In case the sentinel
attempted to give the alarm Tom
crooked him and carried his coat to
camp. In 80 nights he was on this
service, he did not make a single fail
ure to bring in his man or a coat. He
