 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XVII
 stephens renewed interest in Mildred had driven Pamela into furious temper. She had tried des- perately to monopoiise him. but stephen was stubborn and when he wanted to 60 to Mildreds he went there.
 Pamela resorted to an attempt to make him jealous by accepting Huck's ever.ready attentions. or late Huck had been up blind alley as far as Mildred was con- cerned. With Harold he had made all tho progress he needed, but with Pamela he had been getting prac- tically nowhere until she decided to use him to ,nflame stephen.
 But 1t was neither Pamela nor any jealousy of Huck that pre-. vented stephen from keeping his date with Mildred. At the last min- ute a "hot prospect had loomed up on his business horizon and he dared not let go." as he explained to her.

She reached him at the hotel just ss he was leaving for Westchester. He was 'tickled pink" he said. to stop for her.
 Mildred put on her red beret again. Lut she left the sandwiches in the refrigerator. Harold and picnicking didn't seem to harmonize in her mind.
 His appearance. when he came for her. confirmed her opinion. He was sallow and unwholesome. like creature too long denied the sum- light.
 Mildred had not seen him for several days and even in that short space of time hs had changed. But she said nothing to him In . per. sonal way until they were out of the Manhattan traffic and he could drive with less concentration. But when she did break through her silence to the subject she wanted to discuss she wasted no words.
 You'd better tell me what's on your mind. Harold. for ! cen see that whatever it is It's too biz . burden for you to carry slone."

'In these days when many coun-

lack of acquaintance with the Eng

note that the editor of the Grand

pathological erudition. He says:
Some smart guy who thinks
we don't understand the English
language showed the following note
under the door last week. "Dear
Ed. Herald notice that you use
tabein' as one word, then again
sabein' as two. Will you please ex-
plain the difference Fonda Gin,

when used as food is an adverb,
but when used as a dessert becomes
a participle. The space remains
silent as in abein. We hope this
makes it perfectly plain to our sub

GOOD MEASURES

THE state press association is
1 backing four measures, which
deal with the publication of ac-
counts of various proceedings OF
different parts of the government
which are not now so provided for
by law. In brief, these measures
require and provide for the publi-
cation of proceedings of school
boards and city councils and for
the publication of preliminary bud
gets of school districts, as well as
the preliminary county budgets.
In one way it seems as if the
publishers of the state were look
ing out for their own interest
when they advocate the publica-
ton of more public proceedings.
But on the other hand no one real
ICES the importance of disseminat-
ing such news through the means
of the daily and weekly newspa-

The physics class must always
remember that when batteries are
connected in parallel that they are
not connected in series. They made
the mistake of saying so the other
day and Mr.. Kahler hurt his fist
when he came down on the table
with it with a bang and said, par
allel!"
The geometry class doesn't have
so much trouble with the PROPOSE
tons as with the fifth grade arith-
metic. Mr.. Kahler said if they
could only remember how to do
fractions that there would be mo
trouble. Yes, sir. Fractions have
the geometry class stumped. Why
only the other day one of the girls
went out to get a lower grade
arithmetic so they could enlighten
themselves on fractions. The class
said they didn't think they would
have to use fractions in geometry
but alas!
The English l class had to write
a story describing a picture Mon
day. There were some pretty good
descriptions.

WORTHY WORK

THE Masonic orders OF Kenne-
i wick are sponsoring a worthy
institution in their work for the
Orthopedic hospital in Spokane.
This institution is open to all
children who are suffering from
bone diseases and anything which
can he done to help the little child
rem of this world to grow into
straight, strong men and women
is commemorate. All children are
eligible whether they come from
Masonic families or not.
In addition to the cause which is
excellent, the means which the or
ders have chosen to provide money
for this work is praiseworthy. Tin
foil and lead foil are being saved
and deposited in boxes, which have
been placed in various places down
town. 1t teaches us all thrift, to
save material which would other
wise be thrown away and to sal
wage it for the benefit of the child
rem.

ITS EFFECT

ONE angle of the result OF the
" adoption of Prof. Showalter's
plan for reapportionment OF the
school finances might never occur
to some people. 1t is the one which
is causing the directors in the
smaller districts the greatest wor-
ry. That is the loss to the commun-
ity of the districts very best
residents. For instance, one OF the
leading farmers of district which
would be compelled to close down
for lack of finances under the Sho-
walter plan stated this week that
he certainly wouldn't live in the
district if he had to send his child
rem to Kennewick each day or II
he were compelled to move to town
during the school months. Doubt
less, others feel the same way
about it.
Surely Kennewick is not selfish
enough to want to profit at the
expense of the remainder of the
county, for upon the success of the
smaller districts, depends the flu
ture growth of Kennewick. 1t does
not seem policy for this county to
favor Showalter's plan. We should
all make it point to tell our rep
resentatives at Olympia to vote
against it.

such commodities.
The county is now required to
make publication of it's proceed
imgs but in the very interests OF
the things which make the publ
cation necessary, the publications
should contain more detail.
The people want to know what
these boards do, they want to know
how their money is spent and the
only way to obtain this information
is by requiring it to be published.
Anyone who considers the mea-
sures on their merits will favor
them.

When formal written opinion is given by the

ZONTNG ORDINANCE NEEDED

TO protest against the erection of building which they
believed would lnjure their property, told by the
council that the latter is without power restrict such
building
The only alternative when such condition arises,
is for taxpayers go into court and seek junction
rather costly and somewhat unsatisfactory pro-
cedure quite likely to stir up considerable trouble
and i'll feeling.
Persons Coming into this city from the outside, to
invest their money should find possible for them to
ascertain at once just what type of building may be
erected in any particular locality This the only
fair way of dealing with them. party purchasing

ties and community antagonism if he attempts carry
out his plans is not going to be asset for Ell CenrO
