Their Lifetime Spent
In Cloistered Silence

Cowled men, who never speak,
but use the primitive language of
signs, who never see a woman nor
worry about civilization, who work
laboriously with their hands from
4 a. m. until their bedtime at z
p. M! Such are the monks Of
Mount Melleray, the famous mon
astery In the Knockmeledown Qre
land) mountains.
Almost a hundred of them, priests
and laymen, live in tiny medieval
world of their own, chiefly doing
farm work and stock rearing.
Many are the strange stories told
Of Mount Melleray. a Dublin doc
tor who visited the monastery for a
few days never came out again. bui
assumed the cowl and habit of The
monks.
Stranger still-such is The silence
secrecy and disinterestedness of
the monks-an old priest on his
deathbed sent for confessor. and
discovered that the priest who came
was his brother. They had lived
together In the monastery for years
without suspecting each others
identity.-London Tit-Bits.

tanned active membership in the
Spanish-American War Veterans
and the American Legion. He was
a 80 degree Mason, a shrine, past
master of the Kennewick Blue
lodge of Masons, and Odd Fellow
and knight of Pythias. He was a
lifelong and ardent republican
and was active in party organiza-
tons of both county and state.
Captain Vickers demonstrated
his extreme loyalty to home insti-
tutions and his unflagging inter-
est in all community activities to
the very last. A week ago Friday,
although not in robust health, he
drove a party of Kennewick high
school players to Grandview where
the first football game of the sea-
son was played. During the game
he became seriously i'll and was
taken to Yakima for medical
treatment. Later he recovered suf-
ficiently to return home, but on
Wednesday of last week was again
taken to Yakima where he died.

MORE ABOUT ROADS

l0NCE there was very grimy
little boy. He was at last per-
suaded to wash his face. That was
a big gain, but the shining spot
lessness of his face made his neck
so black in contrast he was forced
to scrub that, too.
We are going to be in the same
fix when we get Kennewick ave-
nue. and Washington firmly paved
and bumpless. Our cross streets
will suffer by comparison. Gliding
off the pavement onto the jolts of
these roads will give us the same
feeling that coming off the oiled
roads onto our ancient main street
does now. And it is not a pleas
ant feeling.
Why not oil the cross streets?
Oiled roads are coming more and
more into prominence as their
economy and durability is being
proved more fully every day. East
ern Washington is leading the way
in this new method Of surfacing
the highways. There is no reason
why this same method should not
be utilized for city streets. It does
away with dust and ruts effective
ly. 1t is easily maintained and the
first cost is slight compared to that
of concrete.

the oiled roads leading out of town

| wise think if the property owners
along the side streets would have
these streets oiled at the same
time that the main thoroughfares
are being repaved. With the city's
financial and tax status as it is
this undertaking will be no burden
upon either city or taxpayers. The
results will amply repay any eff
forts we make to secure cleaner
smoother, more lasting streets fol

Breads Value Recognized

It is a matter of scientific knowl-
edge that the diet choice of the hu-
man family, IN the majority of
cases, is due to subconscious
sense of what the human system
needs. That is why bread has
been the first of the instructive
choices. The yeast that helps to
make bread is rich In antineuritic
vitamines. The yeast which causes
the bread to rise generates these VI
tamines in large quantities, which
tend to improve the condition of
the skin.

A GOOD CITIZEN

IN the passing of j. w. Vickers,
= who was known to his many
friends far and wide as "Cap", this
community must acknowledge the
loss of one of its most useful men.
His superb optimism, his zeal, his
enthusiasm and his business
acumen found expression in prac-
tically every local activity and his
life here has been a factor in
community upbuilding that cannot
soon be replaced.
Kennewick has had few men of
so colorful a background. Born
in Springfield, Missouri, August
20, 1872, he went to the South
west at an early age and from
that time until his death his act
ivities were devoted to pioneering
in some useful endeayor.
When a very young man Mr..
Vickers served an enlistment in
the regular army and at the out
break of, the Spanish-American
war he re-enlisted as one Of Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt's famous
Rough Riders, serving with that
organization in Cuba as a trooper
IN Troop M. Following the muster
ing out of the Rough Riders, Mr..
Vickers again enlisted and saw
services as a sergeant with the
forces which quelled the Aguin-
aldo uprising in the Philippines.
After peace was restored, he re-
manned in the Islands several
years and took an active part in
governmental rehabilitation work.
At Americas entry in the World
war, Mr.. Vickers again heard the
country's call and although not
subject to draft, turned his bus
mess over to his associates, en-
listed and earned his captaincy in
departmental work in Washington,
ID. C.
Captain Vickers came to Kenne-
wick about IA years ago and or
ganized the Highlands Fruit COM
pany which has developed and OPP
Grated large orchard holdings on
the Kennewick Highlands. During
these years he was an indefatig-
able worker not only assuming
responsibility for financing the
company but personally superin-
tending the growing, harvesting
and marketing of the annual fruit
crops.
Notwithstanding the extensive
operations of his own company, the
captain found time for participa-
ton in many community under
takings. He was an active figure
in the state Horticultural society
and other fruit grower organiza-
tions of the Northwest. At the
time of his death he was a di-
rector of the Kennewick Irriga-
ton district and the Highlands
Wateruser's association. He was
a member Of the City Council, a
former trustee of the local XII
wants club and an active worker
in the Commercial club. Captain
Vickers was a lover of fratern-
ity and good fellowship. He main

Russ;;na

Russina-is that Russian Beauty
Salon that has made name for
itself by its distinctive, individual
treatments. individuality is one
of the strongest points of the Rus
sian, let alone the very strongest
point-ART. If you seek for
something new and individual for
your couture see RUSSINA.
AS we all know Russians have
always had a fine appreciation of
art and the beautiful, most of them
being artistic, but never before
quite so appreciated as now as we
observe the Russian Note" pro-
nounced in color design and crea-
ton of many beautiful things.
There is a surprise for you in
novelties of Russian peasant art
and handicraft. These novelties
are the expression of the Russian
peasant in substance of his ira
ditions and legends. They reflect
the life of the people in all the
bizarre and rich color of the East
and represent a rare merging of
the useful and artistic.
