Mis- Rushton, feeling that she
had not discovered and perhaps
had not given all her junior Eng
ish students an opportunity to dis
play their long pent-up thoughts
and emotions, decided to do so.
This was to be another case where
action speaks louder than words.
She assigned pantomlnes Tor the
next day.
Time passes swiftly. The next
day dawned. Many juniors were to
bee seen going about with such a
look on their countenances as can
only be obtained by those who are
lost in reverie.
The appointed time came! One OF
the juniors who is more or less at
a loss when it comes to words was
called upon. Solemnly and images
tically she commenced to rhyth-
matically wave her arms about. So
intent was she upon her portrayal
of this well-known parsonage and
so thoroughly did she produce the
desired effect that it was immed-
lately guessed as being Miss LeID-
brand directing music.
Miss Leibbrand was called In to
witness the marvellous feat being
performed by the junior. AS she
.gazed, look of surprise and as
constituent passed over her face
for it seemed to her an answer
to that cry sent up long ago:
go wad some Power the giftie
gle us
To see oursels as ithers see us!'

PUBLISHED BY H1GH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The language department has
been occupied during the past few
days with the Harvard vocabular-
ly tests which are arranged for the
purpose of testing the pupils vo-
cabulary knowledge of French and
Latin.
The medians and standards of
the tests were figured out by the
orlglnators on basis of 1900
scores; consequently the language
department feels reasonably safe
in Judging the ability of the local
students by these standards.
The first test was passed with
high grades, in the second year
French class, Glee Miller and Mar.
tina Luke passing with 97.5. In
the second test which was more
difficult, Gerald Cox passed with
98.1 and Beatrice Serier, 96.5.
The French 1 class averaged
84.58, which is the score required
for students having one and three
quarters years work. Margaret
Witt made a four-year rating AND
Catherine Mounsey three years
Six other students made two veal
grades.
The Latin III class made an aver.
age of 68.36, which is six points
above the minimum requirement
for second year Latin students.
The first year Latin class alsc
made six points above the aver.
age rating, the average score be
ing 56.13.
This is the second time that these
tests have been given here ano
Miss ,Leibbrand, the instructor, say:
that the students have done wei
as in previous tests.

MONEY FROM HAY
ONE way to make money on
baled hay is to feed it to

4 II
baled hay is to feed it to
sheep. Lee Lampson and j. V.
Osborne, as reported in a news
item in last weeks issue, bot
a flock of sheep last fall. They
fed them % tons of hay dur
! ing the winter months and
sold them this spring. They
netted $14.44 on each ton Of
hay, which they fed to the
sheep.
The experiment was started
because Lampson and Os-
borne wished to secure man
iure for their asparagus beds.
They not only fortified their
sandy soil, but also got most
favorable returns on the bal
ed hay which they fed to the
sheep.
While everyone in the dis
trict is agitated about the
proposed increase in baled
hay freight rates, it might
be well to profit from the OBJ
ject lesson of Lampson and
Osborne. While we do not adj
vocate such an increase, such
a method of making money
on baled hay seems highly
profitable.

State School Inspector Speaks
By Myrtle Cullen

2A1OAAAckJ AAAOAAA1AAS viz oSS<AOAASSo Va
Kennewick high school were en-
tertained by a talk given by Mr..
Whitmeyer, the state school in
spector. His topic was divided into
three parts, health, thoroughness
and moral soundness.
He says that no person has to
be told that in order to do his best
work he must be in the best of
health. The hygenic rules are much
more carefully observed today than
formerly; as a result of this care
the average age at the time OF
death is fifty-six today instead of
the former, thirty-eight years.
The second. point stressed was
thoroughness in work. He says that
many students just drift through
school. They acquire the habit OF
putting things off until it is too
late, or trusting to luck that they
will get by. This habit is draw
back to success in later life. In
other words thorough student
is the successful man.
As an example of good moral
character, Charles Lindbergh was
used. He said that Lindbergh is
one of the finest examples of
moral soundness of American
youth. Mr.. Whitmeyer not only
emphasized the fact that Indy
does not smoke or drink, but that
he had enough determination and
ambition to stick to his chosen
work instead of seeking glory by
accepting the million dollar offer
to join the movies. We would all dc
well to follow "Lindy's" example
Even though we know we can never
make such a mark in the world
as he did, a strong character goes
LONG Way toward success.

FARM RELIEF


EARN relief as outlined In
President Hoover's mess
age to Congress provides for
the creation of a farm board.
This action, if carried out,
would remove the issue from
politics to the field of econom-
les where it properly belongs.
Such a board would have am
pie resources and wide powers
to investigate all phases of
the situation and to make
feasible recommendations for
its relief.
The purpose of such board
would be the reorganization
of the present marketing sys-
tenn. Assistance and main
tenance would be given to the
farmer-owned and farmer
controlled agencies where it
is deemed advisable by the
board, where necessary and
adequate resources could not
be secured through regular
banking channels. However,
no tax fee would be opposed
upon the farmer and the board
would not engage in buying
and selling or price fixing of
products.
One of the keynotes of the
message is contained in the
paragraph: Every penny of
waste between farmer and
consumer we can eliminate,
whether it arises from meth
DDS of distribution or from
hazard or speculation, will be
a gain to both farmer and the
consumer"
Farm ails cannot be cur
ed in a day. President Hoover
points out. Nor does he antici-
pate that they can be cured
by federal legislation alone.
However, a start must be
made before advancement can
come.
Certainly the Presidents
program is a sane and reason
able one. While it does not
present a panacea for all of
the farmers troubles, it does
not undermine initiative on
the part Of the farmer nor
does it provide governmental
interference in the farmers
business.
With the proposal of the
formation of the farm relief
board, the President does as
sure the farmer that the gov
eminent is sincerely interest

Mr.. Whitmeyer has been the
state school Inspector for a period
of eighteen years. He served a long
time as high school principal be-
fore securing his present position
and therefore speaks from the
wealth of his years of experience.
His talk was greatly appreciated
although it did give some of us
quit a jolt.

Gasanova's times were interruptions
and he had less regard for truth and
decency than any one. Two anecdotes
of the famous italian soldier of fortune,
diplomat, courier, preacher, gambler,
duelist, lover, philosopher and writer
suffice to show the man.
When he was in the household Of his
protector, Senator Bragadin, in Venice,
q pleasant friend had the quaint idea
of saving through bridge over which
Casanova must pass so that Casanova
would fall into the water beneath and
be drowned. Casanova did not kill him.
He Thought of much happier revenge.
He dug up a recently buried corpse,
cut off an arm and tickled his sleeping
victims face with the dead hand In
the quiet Of the night. The sleeper
it in his clutches, and the poor wretch
went stark mad. remaining so the re-
mainder of his days.
The other incident was part of
his. famous escape from the ducal
palace in Venice, where his many mis-
deeds had brought him imprisonment.
He had taken with him to the lofty
steep roof, where every move on the
slippery leads was perilous, another
prisoner, Father Balbi. In the midst
of their dangerous climb to the ridge,
Balbi babe him stop:
"I have dropped a parcel" he said,
"but think it has not slipped farther
than the gutter and can be recovered"
Casanova's irnpatience over this state
ment is entirely reasonable. But here
| is what he says OF it:
MY first impulse was to give him a
kick and send him after his bundle;
but had enough self-command not
to do this. since alone could never
have escaped"
Only one in a million can lie and
cheat and live happily to old age. Casa
nova apparently was one of these.
Beginning life as the child Of poor
italian actors, he became an intimate
figure in almost every court Of Europe:
Catherine the Great of Russia smiled
upon him and Louis XIV of France
honored him with a personal interview.
He attained high vogue in Paris, and
became an agent of the ministry, ne
gotiating loans and managing the state
lotteries. And though his lies and
cheating ultimately brought banish-
ment, he was able to find protector
in his old age in the German Count
