case of small towns, where the
publishers hope and ambitions are
intrinsically linked with those of
his neighbors.
CHANGING through the files of the
old Courier, the old Reporter and
the urier-Reporter, one can read
the story of Kennewick, growing
from a few shacks between the
railroad and the river to the town
it is now, the center of a wide and
fertile farming district.
Hopes have been blasted, hearts
broken, fortunes won and lost in
Kennewick, but the spirit of the
town has gone on. 1t is this feel

room development. The time has
arrived, however, whene an added
investment could be made profit

new construction.
At present no space is available
for hot lunch service, common in
many schools. Gradually the school
growth has developed shortage
of class room space; antiquated
makeshift plumbing installed 10
years is still in operation; and
several cramped inefficiently de-
signed rooms which are capable Of
being remodeled are functioned as
best they can under the conditions.
In the main building the roof COW
ering as well as the hall floors are
reaching a stage of senil disolu-
ton. The inadequate gymnasium
capacity, has made it impossible
for winter sports to pay their ex-
penses, it has also made necessary
very inconvenient hours for many
organizations using the room. This
lack of space has also made for
difficulty in the presentation OF
school plays, rendering it practical

the expedition Monday located new
land between Enderby land an
Goats land, on the northern firing
Of Antarctica.
The two airmen. Captain HAL

LuetZow Holm, made a successful
flight from the ship over the hith-

mapped about lis miles.
The northwestern point OF the
new land was said to be situated

The Norwegian discovery ship is

and excused in, a blueblood with
money.
Arthur Sewall, Mrs. Edges
grandfather, ran for vice president
on one Of the Democratic tickets
which named William Jennings
Bryan for the presidency. Her faith
er, Harold Sewall, after a distin-
guiShed diplomatic career, died
three years ago in harness as Re-
publican national committeeman for
Maine. He took an advisory part In
the historic Washington Limitation
Of Arms conference held here in
1921.
Diplomatic Friendships
Some of the friendships be-
queathed TO his daughter by Har-
old Sewall were made when he was
the last American minister to
Hawaii in 1893 during the stirring
period when the island kingdom
and republic came to an end and
was annexed by the United States.
After that he retired to rearing
a family and building ships in
Maine.
Two accomplishments properly
may complete the picture Of Mrs.
Edge. First, demonstrating diplo-
macy, she has been a successful
stepmother to Walter z. Edge,
junior. The ambassadors eldest son,
a lad of II odd. lost his mother by
death when he was three years old.
The other, showing courage, took
place several years ago when Mrs.
Edge requested the then Vice Presi-
dent Dawes not TO smoke his pipe
at an affair where Mrs. Edges
other guests contended themselves
with cigars and cigarets. Helen
Maria complied.
