luctantly handed over the egg.
And after the dust cleared, five
minutes later, Kennewick was the
proud possessor Of six points.
After this both sides buckled
down TO some hard fighting which

My Conception of Cows
Surley u. Cheezit

Surley U. Cheezit
Cows is animals lots bigger than
any cat / ever saw. They have
four long pegs that hold up big
round tube-like thing called-well
I can't think whatcha call it but
it's what holds their insides. Cows
is useful they eat hay and swat
flies. Cows are supposed to be tame
but some species are very, very
ferocious cause once cow butted
my brother right over the fenc
into a potato patch. Mother says
cows are nice cause they give us
milk. Milk is good for everybody
cause everybody drinks it. Ny
mother said so, and she is an aw-
full good mother. Everything she
says is so if it amt so. That is all
/ know about cows.

can safely use a figure Of from

much nearer the actual tonnage

ity that hay standing for five or

There is always room for inn
provement in anything, and doubt
less there is still room for i'm
provement In and around our own
nigh school. Nevertheless there are
several changes to which we NAV
point with prid. '
rlrsC your attention is directed
toward the ditch bank next to the
nlgh school, where nee the tumble
weeds grew rank and untrammeI-
ed, but which is now a real beauty
spot with grass and flowers and
a stone wall well overgrown with
velvety purple petunias.
fhe miniature park which was
planted east of the lawn three
years ago has also flourished and
SHOWS evidence of real artistry in
the construction of the lily pond
and watering fountain.
On the lawn in front of the
pudding is the sun-dial presented
to the high school by the Glass Of
~. The base for this was made
with care and the site chosen SC
That there would be direct sunlight
upon 1T at all hours of the day.
For all this we are indebted tc
Mr.. Byrd and Mr.. Hodge. We can
not express too much appreciation
IN view OF the fact that it required
not only much planning but also
much real labor on their part to
create the beauty we now enjoy:
Two more distinct improvements
are now under way. This work Is
being done by the city and at tneli
expense. One is the scuicivatl1,n
and seeding of PARTON OF the Ole
roadway between the small PARK
and the large one. A iiDeIai silly
is left for grave!ed road. Inc
second impending improvement Is
on the north side of the ditch bank
which we hope to transform as
the south side has been.

GUARD SHOOTS
VALLEY THIEF
Discovered AS They Leave
Mercedes Store With
Sacks Of Goods

MERCEDES, July 23.-Two men,
discovered in the act of carrying
away several sacks of merchandise
from the Hartman dry goods store
here early Tuesday morning, es-
capped when they were fired upon
by Night Waterman Fred Wilkins,
in the business district Of Mercedes.
The two men dropped three sacks
Of merchandise and took to their
heels. 1t is thought one OF the
men was struck.
About 1870 a. m an alarm was
turned in to the Waterman, notify
ing him that lights were burning
in the store and apparently some
one had entered.
On his way to the store. as he
was passing the ElkS' club. Wilkins
noticed the men carrying the loot.
took to their heels, leaving the sacks
behind.
Herman Hartman, proprietor of
the store, said, after examining the
various entrances. that he could not
understand how the men entered or
left the store. None of the locks
were molested. no windows were
broken, and the doors were just as
they had been when the store was
closed Monday night.
The only theories he could ad-
vance for the mysterious entrance
and exit were that the robbers
either had a pass key or had hidden
in the store before it was closed
for business Monday.
The safe and cash register in the
store were unmolested.
