NEW FLAGPoLE

A new flagpole has been erected
at the entrance to the school
grounds. 1t is all steel, forty-five
feet in heigth, of the very finest
and latest type. In plain view from
the school it is also easily seen
from any point of the surround
ing neighborhood. Mr.. Hodge
states that later a small plot OF
grass will be planted around the
base of the pole.
The situation of this new flag
pole is a decided improvement OF
that of the old. Not only is il
more easily seen, but it is much
more accessible for raising or low
ering the flag, aand its present
location does not expose the ban
ner to the smoke and SCOT as it
was when on top of the building.
It's position, directly in front OF
the building now extends to visit
ors a sincere, if unspoken, well
come that perhaps could not be so
well expressed by words.

Name "Peony" Traced to
Legend of MvthoIory

In the days of the Greek gods and
goddesses. the peony first came to
the worlds attention. Leto. Apollo's
mother. was the one to Introduce Il.
Apollo was known as the god of
healing and his son, Aesculopius was
the god of medicine.
II seems thai pupil OF AescuIa
plus named Paeon was the physi
clan Of the gods. and to him Leto
FIRST gave the plant which he EN-
plOyed to cure Pluto of a wound
received at the hands of Hercules
during the Trojan war.
The fact that his pupil could sur.
pass him In effecting such cure
made Aesculapius angry. with the
result he attempted to kill Paeon
but Pluto. Indebted to Paeon for his
own life, rescued the physician OF
Mount Olympus from death by
changing him into the plant that
had saved his life. Until this day
that plant bears Pae0n's name and
Ii known as the peony.
The history of the peony In
China and Japan Is Of sentimental
nature. Fittingly enough, the words
"Sho Yo." meaning "Most Beauti
full" were applied to the herbace
Gus peOny. while the tree peony
held sway as the "King OF
FlowerA"-Kansas City Star.

SCHOOL sPIRIT-PEP"

Pep-not just the word, but the
real old stuff is what should De
tackled on to Kennewick high. Pep
the real old Kennewlck splrlt
that makes you want to shout
every time someone mentions 4.
n S. The real old spirit that sets
the blood rushing through your
veins and makes your heart peat
just tiny bit faster. :,
Gee, fellows, we've got the old
pep in us, so let's show some OF it.
Let's have lots of real old fight
behind every yell that we give out
there on the field. Let the team
know that we're backing them to
the very limit. That's what we're
out there for-to keep them pep
ped up, so let's have lots of the
real old stuff out there with us.
When Ike give those yells, let's
snap them out! Cut them short
put some fight and pep behind
every last one of them. Let the
gang know that you're roofing for
them and that you want them to
fight and fight hard for Kenne-
wick.
Don't just yell when we're win
ming and then die out when we're
losing, but have just lots Of pep
all the time. Keep the sidelines
noisy all the time. We want pep
and lots of it, and that's what we'-
re going to get if every man on
the team fights, and every stu
dent in the roofing section keeps
yelling and shouting and showing
lots Of pep all the time.

THE PAGEANT OF AMERICA
Emerson Potter

An interesting addition has been
made to the schools research ma
terial with the purchase Of very
splendid set Of books called The
Pageant of America" These books
are the very latest published, and
are something entirely new. The
source material was gathered at
Yale University and was printed
by the Yale press. Ten volumes
are in the school at present and
five more are expected off the
press soon.
These books contain thousands
of Illustrations and GO into great
est detail with everything that has
had any influence on the evolution
of our American nation. Some of
the volumes so far received are as
follows: The aMarch Of Commerce"
gives a very detailed account of
all modes Of transportation ever
used in our country. The Defense
of Liberty" wildly relates to us
the struggle Of our nation to main
tain that great principle on which
she was founded. The aMakers of
a New Nation" tells about the men
who first discovered and settled
our country, also the influence
that was exerted by different men
before its discovery. The "Ameri-
can Spirit in letters tells about
and illustrates all Of our country's
great manuscripts and documents
that have had SO much influence
on the different phases Of our his
tory. The American Idealism"
deals with the formation and de-
velopment Of different churches
in this country. and also about the
universities that have been found
ed by the different sects.

FALL IDEAL FOR WAR,
AGAINST NOxIOUs WEEDS

Observations made during the
growing season Of 1929 on weed
patches which were treated with
CELEBRATES late in the fall of 1928
show that the month Of October is
an excellent time for the applica-
ton Of these chemicals, says ]. D.
Remsberg, state seed commission
er and field agronomist with the
University Of Idaho college of agri-
culture and extension division.
Practically no growth will occur
following late applications and the
chemical will be found fully as eff
fective next spring as will be
found on areas treated earlier in
the season, he explains. Moderately
severe frosts prior to treatment
have been sh own to exert no ma
terial effect upon the percentage
Of kill obtained.
Farmers who have been delayed
in making applications hesitate to
apply the chemical If the weeds
have gone to seed, or in case the
top growth is injured by frost.
It is well to remember that in
general the more fibrous and ma
ture the plants, the better will be
the results Of chlorate on weeds.
If seed has fallen to the ground
and seeding plants start next year
a little attention and q few light
civilizations will take care OF
them. The old plants should be the
first concern and October treat
ments yield results.
October is usually a very busy
time especially with fruit growers
in this county, but we believe that
all farmers having the perennial
weed problems in orchard or 1lelo
should take steps Immediately to
see that these plots are sprayed
This month. We still have enough
chemical on hand to take care OF
unite 3 few plots, but there is
possibility that we will run short.
Those who come first will be the
ones TO secure the chemical at the
low rate now prevalent.

AND THEIR
EFFECTS ON STUDIES
Harold Nelson

St is necessary to start an article
of this type with the hypothesis
that excellance in studies among
athletes varies as the individual
does. Consequently any conclusion
arrived at will always be subject
to that reservation.
We have observed that the man
who is in school mainly so that he
can hold down first string berth
ON a football or any other athletic
team is naturally going to be
poor student. He is either too
dumb to grasp his lessons or his
mind is entirely on the team; In
other words he thinks, sleeps and
eats football.
We find these cases in all Of
our Universities and Colleges and
oftentimes in high school. These
people work hardship on the
teachers and professors as well as
on other students; the instructor
feels that he obligated to see that
this person has a grade high enuf
to play on the team. Also when a
good student sees fellow slipping
by in that manner, it is of course
discouraging.
The other type of athlete, he who
takes part in athletics merely as
one of many things the man who
has average grades, sometimes
finds it difficult to keep up in one
case but in another instance may
be the person is only mediocre and
the thought of his grades being
too low "peps" him up and gives
him initiative to improve his stand
ing.

VERNON ROBBINS WINS
GRAND CHAMPION

Vernon R obbins, a club mem
Der of the Prosser community, ex-
hibiting Berkshire hogs at the state
fair this year, won the following
premiums.
Grand and junior and senior
champion sow; grand champion
boar; first prize, get of sire; first
and second prize, gilt under one
year; first prize, sow over one
year and 10 months; first prize,
boar under one year.
All Of these above winnings were
in the open lasses and in addi-
ton to this, Vernon won first
prize boar and first and second
prize gilt under one year in the
club classes. We mons total win
nings at the fair this year were
$50, which pays him well for his
trip to the fair in addition to the
fine experience which he had in
making his exhibitions and show
ing them in the various classes.
Vernon is one of the outstand-
ing club members in the county
this year and shows what it is
possible for club members to do
who have real interest in an ag-
ricultural project. One does not
question vernon's interest very
long when he sees him around his
hogs. Vernon usually pets them
around as the usual small girl pets
her cat and can handle them with
out any difficulty whatever. Yer
non is good feeder and with some
good foundation stock which he has
secured, is on the way to q good
income few years from now.

here Saturday.
Passmore remained in Kenne.
wick for the two days while the
other two men returned to thei,
homes Friday night, and returned
Saturday morning.
This method Of presenting sinh
ject matter has been adopted bo
cause of lack of funds which doc.

members in each community who
could be signed up in the associa-
ton throug solicitation Of farmers
and the county agent. Farmers In
the various communities are to at
tempt to line up other farmers for

The finances Of the association
became a little mixed up during
the past year due to the resigina-
ton of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, but
the association will have light
balance and should be able to start
the new year in good shape. u

seem to have been giving a 'bIack
eye" to athletics; nevertheless we
find that a university or college
without good football team loses
it's prestige, and the school soon
becomes adead." This harrened In
one institution that was in the Pa
cific Conference. Their team had
had several unlucky years and the
school as result was becoming
very unpopular.
Ali this can be simmered down
to what Will Rogers said the other
night. Cornell better decide on
whether they want to produce stu
