TEACHES EN-
TO REMEMBER
Expert Forms Glasses to
Train Memories En-
tertains Kiwanians

Quite an interesting exhibition
of memory training was featured
at this weeks meeting of the local
Kiwanis club, when c. B. Hamley
was the featured speaker. Mr..
Hamley had big blackboard on
which thirty names of common OBJ
jects were placed together with a
number. After hearing the number
of the word and the word, he was
able to repeat the entire list for
ward and backward, or beginning
any place without a single mistake.
After hearing a list of thirty or
more figures read he was able to
repeat them in proper order, for
ward or backward.
Mr.. Hamley stated that the stunt
was no trick, but merely the appli-
cation of simple system that any
one could learn without any par
ticular mental strain. About half
of the members wanted to be let
in on the plan so class was form
ed which meets each morning this
week to soak in the system. To-
days class has learned a list of
eighty or so words, so that they,
too, are able to repeat them for
ward and backwards and have ac-
quired the basic idea. The remand
er of the lessons will be in the
practical application of the sys-
tenn.
The luncheon this week was held
in the Masonic hall, and it was
prepared and served by the ladies
Of the Eastern Star. This organ
ization has decided, however, not
to continue the work.
The pretty new Kiwanis caps
arrived this week and will make
their first public appearance at
the football game tomorrow, when
the members of the local club will
have charge of policing the
grounds to prevent accidents to
the spectators.

formerly prominent rancher on
the Highlands, passed away Oct.

the primary school grounds will
have some new playground equip
ment for the entertainment of the
pupils, according to an announce
ment made at today's Commercial

and plans that the school has in
mind.
Mr.. Hodge also stated that the
school was figuring out a plan for
incorporating a graduated inteIli-
gence test which will be used in
conjunction with the daily grade
marks as received by the pupils.
While its installation is not in inn
mediate prospect, he is of the opin-
ion that this additional system will
make for a greater accuracy than
is possible under the present sys-
tenn alone.

make a trip to Wenatchee and en-
list the aid of that section, as well
as get in touch with the towns
down the Columbia which will ben

PLEADS NOT GUILTY

murderer Of his wife, entered a
plea of not guilty at the prelim-
mary hearing held in Prosser yes
terday. Under the Washington
law, murderer must have jury
trial, whether he confesses to the
deed or not. This provision is made
to provide for the possibility of an
innocent person confessing to such
a deed for some reason or other,
and is for safeguarding such a
possibility. The plea was entered
through Hamil's attorney, C. L.
Holcomb. The case will be started

REVEALS ARE
BIG SUCCESS
Laymen's Meetings Close
Good Session at Sunny
side Prosser Next

Sunday marked the closing at
Sunnyside, of one Of the most re-
markable and successful evangel-
istic campaigns conducted in the
Yakima valley. Three meetings
were held and at each of the SER
vices the tabernacle was filled to
it's capacity. In the afternoon,
Evangelist Art Pope, spoke to
men only on the subject damaged
Goods" At the same hour Mrs.
Pope addressed the women, to a
great assembly, at the First Breth-
rem church. Following these meet
ings at 2:30, mass meeting was
held at the tabernacle. Delegations
from the surrounding communities
were present at the meetings. A
great spirit prevailed at the clos
ing meeting and it was considered
by many as the greatest meeting
of the entire campaign.
The announcement was made
that the tabernacle was fully paid
for and the entire cost of the cam
paign had been fully met leaving
no deficit Of any kind, which prov
ed that Sunnyside heartily well
coined and endorsed the evangelist
ic program for the valley.
The entire program was covered
in a very effective way such as
deepening the spiritual life of the
community and organizing the
Christian forces of the valley. The
results of the first meeting was
far more reaching than ever ex-
pected and proved that the pro-
gram has passed the experimental
stage which indicates a very prom
ising future for this phase of con-
structive evangelism.
The success of the campaign was
largely due to the leadership of
Evangelist Art Pope. He is no
amateur in the ranks of evan
gelism, nor can it be charged that
he is professional in his mes
sage. He has given Sunnyside the
result of thoro training combin-
ed with an extensive practical ex-
perience in evangelistic work.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Basil Long of
California, had charge of the mu-
sic and children's work. They are
known as "National Gospel Sing
ers," and their work in Sunnyside
will long be remembered in the
hearts Of the people.
The tabernacle will be moved to
Prosser for the next campaign.
Reverend Pope is leaving soon to
perfect the organization there.

GREAT NORTHERN DEPOT
ROBBED MONDAY NIGHT

Burglars broke into the Great
Northern depot at this place some
time Monday evening and did good
job OF ransaclEing that place from top
to bottom. Entrance was made from
the freight department.
Around seven or eight dollars in
cash was all that the thieves got away
with in actual money. this amount be-
longing to operator Birch and was
Western Union money. It is said by
employees that they got away with a
large supply of express and baggage,
1t is not known at this time just how
much or what IS missing as a thorough
check has not been made. A fur coat
standing right by the safe which the
burglars had gone through was evi-
dently overlooked. The coat had a
valHe Of around $4,000, and the part
that we fail to connect is the fact that
the coat belonged to the operators
wife. We are inclined to believe that
these burglars must have been friends
OF operator Birch. or else they were
afraid that he might happen in while
they were pulling their dirty work
