promises. for God had kept every
promise. Men break their covenants,
but the Lord never fails to make good
His promises. While referring to the
way Jehovah had kept His word with
Israel, Solomon seems to have been
again overwhelmed with spirit of
prayer, so that he prayed that God
would be with him and his people. He
requested that the Lord would incline
not only his heart, but the nations,
so that they would walk in all His
ways" Solomon recognized. when he
was engaged in the work connected
with the building and decorating the
temple, that If one loved God he had
to live a clean life. He cast the needs
Of his people and himself upon the
mercy of Jehovah for peace, protec-
ton and power.
A Missionary Impulse.
The evidence of the missionary i'm
pulse that prompted Solomon to pray
for the alien reveals the greatness
of Solomon and his attitude toward
the foreigner within the midst of the
nation. Israel evidently had it's prob
lens Of absorbing the aliens who had
been subjugated and brought under
its rule. Racial and national bar
riers. were like mountain walls in the
days Of Solomon, when Jehovah was
looked upon as being in a peculiar
sense IsraePs own God, but the King
saw that God desired that the temple
should be a house of prayer for all
nations. His petition for the alien
was prophetic of the coming of the
Messiah with His blessing for all the
nations.
1t would help solve the problems of
our own land and remove some Of the
perils that now threaten our peace,
position and power as a nation IL we
should make Solomon's prayer for the
alien our own petition for the for.
eigner within our gates. Some of the
greatest souls that this country has
produced are found among the men
and women who have made America
their own land out of a desire to
share In its prosperity and privileges.
Christianity is on trial here. If we
fail to live the true Christlike lives
In all our dealings with these aliens
among us the influence will be felt
in the foreign mission field. The
destiny of the Far East may be
affected by our failure to say word
for Jesus to our laundryman. Some.
body neglected Trotsky when he was
In New York. and we know the result
of his influence in Soviet Russia.
Thinking of all the vast number with
out a church home and Christian fell
lowship in our land, let us follow up
our prayers for them by inviting them
to attend divine worship with us next
Sunday. Perhaps they, too, will say,
II was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go unto the house of jehovah"

DELIVERY SERVICE
is INCREASING
Free Delivery in City Proving
Popular Among Patrons
Parcel Service Growing

Having in mind the fact that
people are creatures of habit, and
that once a new idea is adopted
and put into use, it is only a short
time until it seems that such must
have always been the practice, it
occurred to us to check up on the
city delivery service which was in
stalled in this city only four
months ago. Inquiry at the local
office resulted in the following in
formation from Postmaster Shan
afelt: This delivery service is be-
ing given 90 percent of the resi-
dences, and rs percent of the bus
mess houses. Two carriers are be-
ing used, one working eight hours
and the other one five hours. Two
trips daily are being made in both
the business and residential Sec
tions. Eight collection boxes have
been installed and collections are
being made from these from. two
to four times a day. Parcel post
matter is being delivered by auto
and by foot carrier to the bust
ness and closer residential district,
this amounting to some 70 to 100
parcels. day. Several minor
changes have been made in the
routing of the carriers since the
service was instituted, and the
postmaster says that from reports
reaching him, general satisfaction
is expressed as to the service being
given.

THIS COUNTY
PLACES HIGH
Al Livestock Club Mem
bers Win Medals at
Livestock Show

Three Finley boys, Ellsworth
Gregerson, Guy Lyons and Jim
Stone are receiving the congrat-
ulations of their families and
friends this morning on having
placed third on the livestock judg-
ing contest at. the Pacific Inter
national Livestock Show at Port
land, Oregon.
The boys with their leader, Miss
Gage, left for Portland Saturday,
October 10Th. The contest started
early Monday morning with 3S
teams of three boys each from
five northwestern states. The boys
were required to place two classes
each of swine, sheep, beef and
dairy cows. Each boy gave reas-
ons on the project in which he is
enrolled. In this case the boys
gave reasons on dairy cows. On
Monday evening, after the contest,
the entire group of All boys and
girls were entertained at a ban
quet at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms. After the principal speak
ers had finished, Mr.. Plummer,
secretary of the fair association,
arose and announced the winners
as follows: Marion county, Ore
gon, 1st; Latah county, Idaho, End;
Benton county, Wash, 3rd.
The boys came forward and re-
ceived medals from Mr.. Plummer
who complimented them and urged
them to try for a higher place.
The Benton county boys have
been getting in some good practice
since Mr.. Durdle has been helping
them. They will start in right
away to prepare for next year.
| Any livestock club member may
compete for this contest and next
year there will be several teams
in the preliminary contest at the
Kennewick Fair.

PROTEST

An official protest has been fill
ed by the Sunnyside high school
with the Y. v. /. A. A. officials
in regard to the 6 to 6 tie played
with Kennewick high school re-
Gently, according to a dispatch
printed in the Yakima papers. The
protest asserted that several Ken
newick players, among them Fred
Garrett, star tackle, were not in
school last spring and were there
fore not eligible until they had
completed a quarters school work.
Should the protest be allowed and
the game declared forfeited, Sum
nyside will have record of four
wins and one defeat.
Coach Smith of the local school
stated tonight that he could see
no reason why the Sunnyside team
should protest this game, inasmuch
as he had certified Garrett as on
the eligible list several days be-
fore the game and that no protest
had been made until now. Garrett
and all others on the Kennewick
team were eligible for each of the
games in which they participated
according to the rules under which
the Kennewick team has been
playing this year.

MEN WORK ON
FAIR GROUNDS
More than 80 Turn Out to
Put New Land in Shape
Hold Two More Bees

The work bee on the new fair
grounds last Friday afternoon was
one of the most successful affairs
of the kind ever attempted in this
community, about fifty men par
ticipating in the work. Under the
direction of the various department
bosses, the underbrush in the grove
was cleared off, considerable lew
cling was done with the teams and
the fresnos, and large part of
the sagebrush grubbed off the
ground outside the grove.
The fine dinner served by the
woman's club and the Business
Girls was served to more than fif-
ty people, who returned to the af-
ternoon's work in earnest.
There was representative
group of workers present, the num-
Der being about equally divided be-
tween the farmers and the busi-
ness men. The hours were from
nine until four and a splendid
showing was made in the improve
ment Of the grounds.
Tomorrow afternoon there will
be another group of men on the
job with teams and scrapers to
complete the work of levelling and
clearing off the brush. On Satur-
day arrangements have been made
for the use of the county's big
tractor which will be used to plow
the land preparatory to seeding.
This work will be done this fall
in order that the land will be ir
shape for further work in the ear.

In the spring the irrigation pipe
will be installed and by that time
the plans for the permanent i'm.

that it will be possible to plant
what trees and permanent growth
is desired to make the fair ground,
one of the beauty spots of tn.

BOYS COMMIT
MOST CRIMES
Average Age 19 Speaker
Says - Urges Change
in School System

Rodney III. Brandon, Mooseheart.
Ill, executive secretary of the
Loyal Order of Moose and lieuten-
ant governor of Kiwanis for Illi-
nois, was. the special speaker at
the local Kiwanis luncheon Tues
day, at which time several of the
local lodgemen and their wives
were guests of the club.
Crimes of America are being
committed by 19-year-old boys who
have not gone beyond the third
grade, who have not had religious
contact and who have not been
taught to do anything, and 80 per
cent Of whom come from broken
homes, the speaker asserted.
Recent Investigations in New
York, where cases involving 3O56
persons were investigated, showed,
he said "a percent of criminals
were male, 80 percent of them
from broken homes; one percent
had been in college, percent in
high school, SO percent had not
gone beyond the third grade; sc
percent had no religious contacts
rs percent had no jobs and rs pei
cent had never been taught to dc
anything with hands or brains.
He urged change in the edu.
cational system, so that a child
with a limited mental capacity, Z
child with a mechanical rather
than an academic turn of mind
might be educated to enable hin
to take his proper place in th'
world and earn respectable liv
ing. Mr.. Brandon's remarks wer,
| listened to with great deal o
interest by the Kiwanians present
who have as one of their majo
activities the work with the under
privileged child.

COM M u NIFTY
COOPERATION
Plan Advisory Board for
Activities of Organic
alton of Valley

That the activities of the var
;ous organizations be controlled by
an advisory committee was advo-
ated today at the Commercial
club meeting by E. c. Durdle, who
was the principal speaker. Mr..
Durdle is the new county agent
and has made study of commun-
ity activities and in his opinion the
work being attempted by the var
ious organizations of the town are
duplicated to some extent and thru
the very diversity of effort much
Of the effectiveness of the work is
being lost.
His suggestion was that a CEN
tral advisory council or a steering
committee be appointed with rep
resentatives from each of the var
ious religious, fraternal and civic
organizations to take up each of
the community activities and ap-
portion the work to such a person
or group as is most capable of
handling that particular matter.
In this way there would be activ-
tiles for each organization and
there would be no duplication Of
effort.
This plan has been worked out
in the eastern states to a great
advantage and the idea is rapidly
preading thru the west. Pasco has
such committee and Ellensburg
has one. This committee is inactive
IN itself but would decide whether
the particular project up for con-
sideration was worthy of commun-
ity effort and which of the various
organizations should attempt the
completion of the job. Each of the
other organizations would be ask
Cd to help, should the proJecJ De
large enough to warrant such an
effort, and each would be assigned
definite part in that program.
The matter was received very
iavorably by the club and a COM
mittee will be appointed to present
the matter to the different organ
zations of the community with a
request that each appoint mem
Der from among their number to
sit in this central committee.
It was also suggested that this
central committee, should the plan
find general favor, take up plans
for community chest for the
coming year. This combined char
ity is also finding more and
more favor in the various COM
munities of the state, especially
IN such districts where conditions
financially are not up to the peak
