only way it could go was up. just
buy it and hold it a day or so that's
all we thought there was to fl
nance. Well from now on you GO
ing to find some mighty careful
folks. A salesman knocking on our
door now with some new tangled
pea knife is going to have to be
mighty good to get in the door
much less make a sale. The Lord
just kinder looked us over and says
"Wait you folks going too fast,
slow up and look yourself over, q
year of silent meditation will do
you good. Then when you start
again you will know you got to
get it by working and not by
speculation" So the old year just
gone is liable to prove in the long
run mighty beneficial year after
all. 1t may bring US back to our
senses.

there been such a large attend

be for such unwonted interest?
However, if every council meeting

people could learn the many diff

far less fault-finding over the

WE OFTEN wonder how many
of you cold timers" around
Kennewick can recall when we put
our shirts on over our heads when
everybody could hitch up a horse,
when there were no such things as
wrist watches and a hired girl was
lucky to get $3.50 a week. Or how
many remember when boys collect
ed cigarette pictures, when every
body had tonsils and kept 'em.
when nobody had appendicitis and
most everybody kept the Sabbath.
Surely there must be lot of folks
around here who can remember
when they carried a lantern on the
dashboard of the spring wagon
and drove it through sand, dirt or
loose rick most of the time; when
they slept on straw tick and took
a bath in the wash tub in the kit
chen only on Saturday nights, or
women wore Mother ,Hubbards
and when brick covered with
carpets served as a doorstep and
when congress CATERS were the
most stylish of shoes. But if you
can remember any or all of these
it isn't sign that you are getting
old. It's just sign of good mem

going to rain, snow, sunshine or
anything. We don't know when we
are to get sick, rich or die. We do
not know who is going to follow
US on when we are gone We don'5
know what chance the Democrats
are going to have at any given
time. We don't know what Hoover
and this Senate is going to do, we
don't know what will happen to
Prohibition, we don't know when
or where the next war will break
out.
We sure are dumb. But He did
let us know what day followed
what day and made it SO it would
happen, no matter what happened.
There has been 1880 of these same
New Years roll around just since
we been reckoning time, and
reckon a couple of million before
that, kinder in proportion 20
whether you believe in Noah and
his ark, or the old monkey swing

mind how we all got here. What
we got to do these hard times is
to worry about how we are going
to stick here as long as we can
without getting hungry.
We haven't had such bad year
in comparison to years we used to
have, but we have had disap-
pointing year, for it's been bad
year in comparison to the last q
or 10 years. We have been just go
ing like a. house afire, and we
couldn't see any reason why we
shouldn't keep right on burning.
We didn't see how we could ever
run out of fuel. Our tastes were ac-
quired on credit, and we wanted
to keep on enjoying EN- on credit.
But a guy knocks on the back door
during the year 1880 and says,
"Here, pay for the old radio or we
will haul down your aerial" Get
out of that Hoot Nanny, you've
been driving it without payments
long enough"
Well that was sort of jar.
The man talked so nice when he
sold it to us, we had no idea he
would ever want it back. Why we
had kinder got used to all this and
took it as a matter Of fact. If you
never had fifty cents cigar why
