Of re- cent years large majority of the scholarships have gone to the of immigrants. This year (the fortieth annual contest the foreigners made their largest victory There nine scholarships award ed. Two of them went to foreign born boys. Six of them were captured by boys both of whose parents born in foreign countries.

The Coming Winter.
(NeW York World ]

Up in Geneva, N. r., an apple tree is in full bloom: and from this certain worthy people have concluded that the coming winter will be a very mild one, h indeed, it arrives at all Well, possibly so. Yet do not mind saying that we take very gloomy view of all such signs and be- lieve they seldom mean what they appear to mean. Last April, it will be recalled, we had some cold days, and the foxes all wore thick fur and the geese were not flying northward as numerously as usual, so that there disposition some quar- ters to conclude that 1929 would be a reptiton of l8l6 which was the year without a summer There is no need to point out what a boomer that idea was II ever there was year that had more sum- mer than this year had, is at a loss to think which year 1t could have been. So if there is any conclusion to be drawn from this apple tree we imagine 1t is that the Yale Harvard game will be played with seet rain and snow all falling simul- taneously that we shall have Thanksgiving with out turkey on account of all the birds being frozen to death, and that by the time Christmas comes the East River will be completely frozen over with lceboats running races under all five bridges

THE CLOCKS REQUEST By Mary Graham Bonner

Every evening the little bla k clock took John and Peggy for ad- ventures. Every evening he turned the time forwards or backwards, to any time at all except the ordinary 1 time.
 The little black clock was thank ful, indeed, that he had accepted the magic given him some time be- fore which had given him the pow CT to turn himself to any time he wanted. He could go back one day or hundreds of days, or he could go forward.
 But as far as the rest of the world was concerned he was always T o'clock. That had been the time when he had stopped years before when he had accepted the much more exciting life of being any time he chose.
 John, who was 8, and his sister, Peggy, who was 5, had been invited by the clock to share his secret and to share his magic
 we have big plans ahead" the little black clock told them, as they started out that evening. But be- fore we go have one request to make"
 The little black clock certainly had plenty of magic, for he could add hours, too Even though the children went with him on adven- lures he saw to it that they did not lose any of their sleep, for if they were gone for hours he was able to give them four extra hours of sleep when they got back to bed again He didn't do this by hay ing them sleep late in the morning. Oh, no, he simply daded the hours to one of the others so that they didn't lose any sleep, and yet the regular time was not upset
 Well certainly grant any re- quest you make" John and Peggy told the little black clock
 Then" said the little black clock, before we go further I wish that you'd make my name seem more important by always writing it with capital letters just as your name, John, and your name, Peggy, are always written.
 Well do that, Little Black Clock" they said.
 And the Little Black Clock was very happy

RADIO NOT HURTING NEWSPRINT
 FACTORIES.

Newsprint manufacturers have become convinced that the radio is not having any damaging effect on newspaper circulation That is proved by the fact that there has been a larger than the usual annual increase in newsprint consumption this year over last year. During the year preceding July 3l, 1929 Canada increased her newsprint production IA per cent. over the previous year-a gain of 1950OO tons In spite of this increased production the newsprint stock on hand July 31 1929 was less than on July 31, 1928, The stock on hand in 1928 amounted to 4S27O tons and in 1929 to 2S,993 tons a decrease of about 10000 tons.
 It might be intriguing to those interested in the installation of newsprint manufacturing machin- cry that the factories worked far nearer to their capacity the last year than the year before. Good body and Company members of the New York Stock Exchange who specialize in Canadian pulp and paper investments in a recent statement said:
 We feel that the newsprint industry will
 do materially better this year than it did
 last year and we think that the newsprint
 stocks offer attractive speculative possi-
 bilities during the next six to nine months The Goodbody letter pointed out
 It seemed at one time if advertising
 through the medium of radio broadcastng
 would seriously affect newspaper advertis-
 ing but it is the opinion of those in the
 advertising field that the two forms of ad-
 vertising supplementary rather than
 competitive. The radio industry itself has
 increased it's newspaper advertising Fifteen
 radio companies spent nearly $8900000 in
 advertising during 1928 compared with $4-
 100000 in 1927.

Ten Ways to Spell Most Sounds in English

(Janet Rankin Aiken, in the Bookman0
 English has twenty-six alphabet letters, twenty one for consonants and five for vowels. English has some forty-four sounds twenty-four conson- anal and twenty vocalic. To represent these forty four sounds in spelling English has well over 400 separate photographic combinations, making av- craze of ten possible spellings per sound What can you do with language like that? And yet there is charm about it.

Olympia Olympian.)

Fred K Baker recently appointed Supervisor of Transportation in the Department of Public Works, says that one of the greatest characteristics the schools should teach the pupil is thoroughness. Much of the classroom teaching is lost, he thinks, the pupil retaining little of the actual facts and figures taught. But the impression made on the plastic materials with which the teacher works is of much more importance than those facts, he says.

Planning the farm activities to
coincide with certain phases of the
moon, family tradition or the indi-
siduaps personal inclination might
be very well as rough rule of
thumb, but there was too great a
margin or error. If farming is go
ing to keep pace with the rest OF
the world, it must take over the
methods used by the rest OF IN
world.
And it is doing just that tnlng.
In cooperation with college extern
sion departments and government
scientists, farmers everywhere in
this country are being given up-to-
the minute information on scientif-
ic agriculture. And the farmers
that are making good are the far
mers who accept readily the in
formation and suggestions extend
ed to them.

run right thru the city of Spokane.
This is obviously impossible, of
course. Then where? The meridian
line? That puts it between Pros
ser and Sunnyside. Not so good SO
far as the Yakima valley is con-
cerned.
Why not the summit of the Cas-
cades? The mountains are more or
less of natural dividing line
anyway. We offer this suggestion
Tor what it is worth.
We have an idea that the change
will not be made, though this pa
per would like to see it. Maybe it
would make some of these city fell
fers who have a habit of zooming
around to their stores about eight
thirty, get up and on the job lit
tie earlier in the morning. It
wouldn't hurt 'en. And so far as
the farmers are concerned they
start early enough as it is.

BOATS AGAIN?

UTONDER how many of the pres
" emf population of Kennewick
and Pasco know that the N. p.
bridge across the Columbia has a
draw span? This feature Of the
bridge was installed for the pur-
pose of allowing boats to come up
the river. And they did. Now It
begins to look as if the draw span
will, some time I'm the future, be
needed again. Portland interests
are urging the development of the
river and the grain interests of the
west are lending every effort to-
ward encouraging them. The long
drawn out moan of the Mountain
Gem used to be familiar sound
but it's whistle has long since rot
ted away. May another like it soon
again awaken the echoes through
the palisades of the Columbia.

NO ALBIS

THE farmer is one person who
I always has good alibi if he
cares TIC use 1.-THE weather. Crop
failure can susally be blamed on
too much sun, too much rain, rain
at the wrong time, not enough
rain, hail, drought, and on down
the line. And then, if it isn't the
weather, it's the beastly bugs,
which are no fault of the farmers,
but an act of Providence.
But the farmer who really makes
a success, year after year, is the
farmer who doesn't depend on ali
bis to get his through. There are
ups and downs, good years and
bad years. Scientific farming has
given us the key to agricultural
efficiency. By studying soil con-
ditions and weather tendencies,
the farmer can make the maxi
mum profit from his land. Then
when Mother Nature suddenly be-
comes tickle, Mr.. Farmer is far
enough ahead of the game to stick
in out until next season.

WHY SANTA CLAUS

TT is a favorite debate among the
! grown-ups as to whether the
joy of believing in Santa Claus
makes up for the grief Of dislllus-
ionment when the youngster dis
covers that it is "only Daddy In
red golf knickers. s."
We hold with the old proverb
that it is better to have lived and
lost than never to have loved at
all. Belief in Santa Claus up until
he age of six years is a legitimate
part Of a happy childhood. The
thrill that Billy gets as he tries to
stay awake to catch the merry old
Saint lends an enchantment to
Christmas that is necessary, Tor
most six-year-olds are not endowed
with the altruistic Christmas spirit
that makes the season joyful for us
older folk.
The imagined tinkle Of silver
sleighbells in a midnight sky
makes of Christmas something
more than a gift orgy. Parents
and grown-ups who are in on the
secret take as much pleasure in
keeping up with Santa Claus mys-
terry as does the innocent victim
of the merry hoax. The shining
light Of mysterious excitement and
wonder in Billy's eyes is enough OF
a reward for days of whispering
and planning behind locked doors
And then-Santa Claus is an
other expression of that wonderful
benediction sung out by the angels
on the hillsides of Bethlehem and
echoed down the ages-"Peace on
earth, good will to menu

YOUR STATE AND YOU

Washington is awakening. Spur

tremendous resources for place

Washingtonians are coming to
realize that their state is equipped
by Nature as few states are equip

is needed to make it one of the ma
TONS leaders I'm tourist attraction,
mining, agriculture and industry,
as it now leads in numbering and
fishing.
And the place to start boosting
is at home.
Every resident of the state is
ISOLDE on the state-else he would
not be here. But there are many,
who instead of admitting they are
in Washington because they like
the climate, the business possible
tiles, or its prospects of an indus
trial future better than they like
those of another state, keep these
facts to themselves and enlarge up
on little unpleasantries to all who
will hear. That kind of talk does
nobody goodL1east of all the talk
er. Let's stop such knocking and
boost.
Boost your town. It's the best in
the world, or you shouldn't live
there. Boost your county. 1t must
be good because your town is in it.
Boost your state. It's the best in
the nation, and it's getting better
all the time.
Let's make Washington First in
our talk as we'll as in our hearts,
and thus make the world acclaim
her in her proper status.

Kennewick had a band in those
days, and a good one too. Won
several contests, if we remember
right. The revival of the idea seems
to be taking hold of the popular
imagination and it is likely that,
with its enlarged scope, musical
efforts in the various small towns
can be given just the impetus need
ed to revive the old spirit. Let's

May-and to grab off some of the

ROTHSTE|N WILL
CONTEST ENDED
New York Paper Says Agree.
Inent Has Been Reached
Which Terminates Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 10.-The New
York Times said today that settle
ment out of court of the contest of the
will of Arnold Rothstein, slain gambler,
apparently has been made.
An adjournment of the trial of the
contest has been taken until next Mon
day and it is believed formal settle
ment viii, be announced at that time.
Under the terms of the settlement,
understood to have been. agreed upon,
the death-bed will Of Rothstein, which
named Miss IneZ Norton, his show-girl
friend, as chief beneficiary, either will
be withdrawn or formally denied by
Surrogate John P. OBrien, who has act
ed as mediator In the negotiations be-
tween the warning legatees. A small
payment of money to Miss Norton prob
ably will be made.
Rothstein's widow, who was estranged
from him at his death, is the chief
beneficiary under the latter will. She
was not mentioned in the death-bed
will
Miss Norton's claim to a $4,000 in
surance policy is not included In the
settlement and probably will be litigated
In the State Supreme Court.
The estate, which still is in process
of administration, will amount to be-
tween $1,500,00o and 100000.
