Months to 5 Years

Sterling Ainsworth, found guilty last
week by a jury in the Superior court
at Prosser, of second degree arson,
has been sentenced by Judge Matt
Driscoll to serve from 10 months to
five years in the penitentiary.
Ainsworth was charged with insti-
eating the burning of the house on
the ranch of A. O. Kiser at White
Bluffs Ainsworth had sold the prop
erty to Kiser and held mortgage
against it. The testimony at the trial
indicated that Ainsworth wanted to
collect the insurance.
Clyde Wilson, who pleaded guilty to
second degree arson, told the court
that Ainsworth gave him $35 to set
fire to the structure. Clyde has not
been sentenced. He explained that in
setting fire to the building, he poured
blasting powder on gasoline soaked
mattress and ignited it with dyna-
mite fuse.

Maximum Minimum

Maintaining the record of the pre-
ceding three weeks, fresh snow of an
inch or more fell Wednesday after
noon and evening, making the fourth
consecutive Wednesday that snow has
fallen. An odd thing about the last
fall was that with a ground tempera-
ture of from 10 to ID degrees below
freezing, the snow about 9 p. m. turned
to rain, indicating that warm cur
rent of air was occupying the upper
stratas The rain made crust on
the top Of the snow.
Ice along the shore caused a tie-up
Wednesday of the White Bluffs ferry
and it will probably be out of COM
mission until milder weather takes out
the ice. The Wahluke ferry is still
running, Mr. Chairman, ferryman, re-
porting that the shore ice was not
bothering at that point and there is
not great deal of floe ice running
in the river.

Patrons Warned to Use
Sufficient Postage

A number of senders of Christmas
cards and letters to European countries
and Canada, are forgetting to provide
sufficient postage. Rates to all these
places were increased last summer and
the domestic rate of two cents does
not apply now. Rates to England and
to nearly all European nations are now
three cents for post cards and five
cents for letters, with nine cent
charge for air mail. Any mail started
out with insufficient postage will cost
the person receiving it, double.
Rates to Canada are now three cents
per ounce for regular letter mail and
six cents for air mail letters.

Mrs. Vesta Hay Assumes
Charge of Sequim Press

Mrs. Vesta Hay, widow of the late
Angus Hay, intends to continue the
publication of the Sequim Press. An
editorial last week said:
Under the new management of The
Press slightly altered policy will be
followed. While retaining as many OF
the past good features as is humanity
possible to do, an editorial column is
added where the Editor will confine
all personal opinions. The remainder
of The Press may be used as an open
forum by all those who have the pub
lie good at heart, and who have the
courage of their convictions enough to
sign their articles.
81 have worked side by side with
Mr.. Hay since coming to the Sequim
field, and it was always his desire that
I carry Oh With The Press. And to
the best of my ability I shall do so.
"Do not come into The Press with
an ak to grind-give that the privacy
it deserves"

A Giving Instead of
"A Receiving Christmas

The Presbyterian Sunday School
will give a program at the church
Tuesday evening, December %, at 7:3O
o'clock. In addition to the program,
which is under the direction of Mrs.
Houk and Mrs. Leander, there will be
a Christmas tree with the customary
lights and decorations.
This, however, the Sunday School
has decided, is to be giving" instead
of a receiving" Christmas, and in
harmony with this idea there will be
no gifts on the tree. Instead, every
one who attends is asked to bring a
gift or a toy or toys, clothing, or food
that may be used to bring joy on
Christmas Day to children who might
otherwise have no Christmas.

comfort being bestowed by the con-
trast with the snowy view that lay OUT
side the large windows at the end Of
the room. A centerpiece of yellow

Jury Acquits Man
With Two Wives

A jury in the Superior court at Pros
ser Monday brought in verdict OF
acquittal in the case of State VS. Rear
don, charged with bigamy.
The second wife testified that she
did not know of Reardon's first mar
riage when her ceremony was per-
formed, but that she found out later,
without losing her regard for the de-
PENDANT. Both women were on the
most friendly terms with their joint
husband. Reardon is a railway train
man. The two marriage ceremonies
we're performed in Idaho.
The first Mrs. Reardon was not al
lowed to testify on the technical
grounds that wife is legally incom-
petent to testify against her husband

Achievement Day
Program Held

An interested group Of mothers,
friends and All club members gath.
cred at the high school Saturday at.
ternoon for the Achievement Day pro-
gram. The opening number was a
group Of All pep songs by all club
members, this being followed by the
club motto repeated in unison.
After piano solo by Louise Shinn,
Evelyn Barge and Pauline Leander
gave the Breakfast demonstration
which won them first honor at Ken
newick.
Follow the Gleam," sung by the
two clubs of older girls, was followed
by vocal duet by Aletha Hemker
and Louise Shinn.
Each president, in 2 short talk, ex-
pressed the grateful1iess of her club
to the White Bluffs Trading company,
the Commercial Hotel, the Woman's
Club, the White Bluffs Spokesman,
the school authorities, their mothers,
and Mrs. Davis, for their interest and
helpfulness during the past year.
An interesting feature of the pro-
gram was a style show in which the
members of the Needles and Pins club
displayed the dresses which they had
made.
Mrs. Davis, who was present, gave
a most interesting talk on the history
and purpose of All work and it's value
to the girls. Emphasizing the impor-
lance of good health, she presented
the health certificates to the six girls
who at the medical examination in
June were found to come up to the
minimum standard of physical fitness.
Twenty-four girls, members of the
three clubs, we're then presented with
the pins, symbols of years work
completed and it's record turned in at
the extension office.
AS the members of the Little Girls
Sewing club, who are six to eight years
old, were too young to be enrolled in
regular All club, they could not
receive pins but were enthusiastically
applauded as they were called to the
front of the room, and a display of
the articles made by these little girls
was especially interesting.
Following the nrogram. refreshments
of tea and cocosh al u s9sf ss were
served by the Mixing W. Dinner
club. ~ Ne

Series of Lectures to
Close Sunday Evening

The lecture Sunday evening at Lib
erty Hall was we'll attended, according
to the report given the Spokesman by
Rev H. A. Schultz, who is conducting
the series. and the subject, Seeing
the United States through the Bible
Telescope" proved of interest to every
one present.
According to Rev. Schultz, the Scrip
lures foretell the rise of our fair land,
the time and the fundamentals upon
which our country is based. Most
wonderful he says sis the fact that
the Scriptures and history correspond.
Many study the history of this coun-
try and other nations, never realizing
that God has given us the picture
many centuries ago in His Word. This
country was founded" he continues.
God according to the dictates Of their
own conscience, and as American citi-
zens we should ever stand for religious
liberty"
Concerning the lectures for the re-
mainder of the week, Rev. Schultz
makes the following announcement:
1.-The lecture December IS, what Is
the objectionable Sin?', will be OF in
terest to all. Sooner or later, men
and women become troubled about the
sin against the Holy Ghost. No lee
ture is planned. for Saturday evening.
Sunday evening will be the last lee
ture before the holidays. Sunday eve
ming you may come and hear, What
Do the Churches Believer The texts
will be read from the Bible. All are
invited to hear these lectures.

Date for First club
Card Party Announced
By JAMEs w. BROOKS
.GETTY5 BURG PA

Notwithstanding the disagreeable
weather, the Christmas program of the
Woman's Club drew it's usual number
of members and visitors Wednesday
afternoon. In the absence of the pres
ident, Mrs. F. A. English. and also that
of &slae vice. president, Mrs. Fred elk
hli1y, through indisposition, the meet
ing was presided over by Mrs. F. E.
Taylor.
Preceding the program, announce
ments were made of the dates of the
first of the series of card parties to
be given by the club this winter, and
the Christmas party, which for the
last ten or twelve years has been an
annual institution, and which is al
ways looked forward to. by the club
members with much pleasant antici-
patton. The card party will be held
at Grange hall Tuesday evening, De-
cember 20, and the Christmas party
will be held the following day in the
assembly room of the Lutheran church.
Student Life in Germany was the
subject of thorough review by Mrs.
Keal, of the life of a German child
from the time he begins his school
days in the kindergarten until he fin
ishes his university course. Among
the points brought out especially were
the universally of education in Ger
many; the firm discipline which is
exercised over the young people of that
country and the respect given to au-
thority as represented by their elders;
the effectiveness of German "concen-
trated" education, which allows no
time for recreations like basketball,
football, and similar games encouraged
among the youth of this country; and
the religious note in the training given
German youth in the secular schools,
the pastor of a German village auto
matically becoming the supervisor of
education in the village school. While
the education of women has not been
considered so necessary in years past
as that of men, Mrs. Keal said, mod
ern times are changing that, and there
are now many women students in the
German universities who rank as high
in scholarship as their brothers.
Mrs. O'Larey gave short history
of the Christmas festival and related
some of the Christmas legends thai
had their origin in Germany, many OF
them being familiar to her hearers,
since the American Christmas cele-
bration is fashioned after that of Ger
many and the patron saint of the Ger
man Yule-tide holiday, Saint Nicholas,
is identical with the American child's
Santa Claus. Mrs. F. E. Taylor sang
two German Christmas hymns, away
in Manger," and silent Night, F"
which were much enjoyed.
The next meeting of the club will
be a business meeting, held Wednes-
day, December 80, Immediately preceo-
ing the Club Christmas party
