Agricultural Students Take Trip

The advanced class in agricul-
ture spent their class periods on
Monday and Tuesday, January
and 5, at the Highland club house
and listened to the farmers school
which was conducted by Mr.. Dur
die, county agent, and other ex-
tension specialists.
The topic discussed Monday was
Perennial Weeds, how to recog-
nize them and how to control
them.n This was conducted by Mr..
Durdle, who showed many differ
ent kinds of perennial weeds that
had been collected for this pur-
pose.
Tuesdays discussion was on
Cooling Moth Control" The far
mers entered into this discussion
and many interesting points were
brot out on the different kinds of
sprays and when to apply them to
get the best control Of the codling
moth.

that summer is more pleasant than
winter; others say that fire is bet
ter than water; or black is super
ior to white. But take the oppo-
site stand. Perhaps only for the
sake of argument. Perhaps be-
cause of confirmed belief, but
at any rate it furnishes food for
discussion. To cite an example,
dominant in our minds at pres
ent, we have the new schedule of
semester exams. Many comments
are heard, many running something
lihe this: 81 don't see how they ex-
pect to write an exam in day,
half the usual time!" But stop and
consider. Why isn't it just easy to
write an exam in two hours, with
an interval between, as it is to do
the same in two hours, consecu-
lively? And even if it isn't, we're
all in the same boat, so your chance
is as good as the next fellows.
Moral: Thou shalt not complain
against the plans of thy superiors.

Pep Meeting

The KRIS. basketball players
were greatly encouraged to play
good basketball by a pep meeting
held in the assembly by the stu
dent body Friday afternoon, jan
uary 8. The student players, and
faculty seemed quite enthusiastic
and sincere in their belief that
K.H.S. team would come out on
top. Besides several speeches from
members Of the boys and girls
teams, Mr.. Clark, Coach Jacobs,
and the girls coach, Mr.. Precht
expressed their confidence on the
teams chances.
OF course it is up to the players
and the coach to make good team
but is is very possible that the pep
meeting gave the Kennewick boys
the extra, encouragement necess-
airy to make the point that gave
them the victory.
1t would be very desirable to
have more real pep meeting of this
nature throughout the basketball
season.

ceived the fatal paper back from
the somewhat hard-hearted, un-
sympathetic teacher.
The sighs Of joy are uttered by
the more fortunate members of the
class, who have high enough grade
Ia nice high grade in deport-
ment and the teachers willing or
bribed or something and they are
exempted from the test.
All this time while we are sigh
ing and grooming around all the
teachers have to do is simply give
us the exam and wait for the re-
suits. No, it doesn't seem fair, but
that's the way with a lot Of things
now days.
Well, the examinations are all
over now, and we did live thru
them, much to our relief. So we
can face the world as well as the
new semester with smile and a

Kennewick Wins

The Kennewick girls basketball
team played Pasco last Friday
in a practice game to score of
Is to Is in the Kennewick girls
favor. s.s
During the first three quarters
it looked as though Kennewick
was going to take another defeat
in the chin, but during the last
quarter, the girls snapped out of
it, took in the slack score and
passed Pasco with one basket.
The girls will have to- watch
their step this season, for not only
Pasco is out for revenge, but all
the valley teams who were beaten
by them last year.
Next Friday night, January %,
both teams go to Prosser and jan
uary %, Benton City plays a dou-
BILE header here.

Kennewick Wins in Basketball

Friday night the Kennewick and
Pasco high school basketball quin-
tets fought one of their annual
battles in the Kennewick gym.
The teams were well matched in
both size and speed. A strang de-
fensive and weak offensive play
was evidenced in both teams. AS a
means of offense the Pasco team
attempted a series of long shots
which were very unsuccessful,
while the Kennewick team showed
very brilliant team work. The line
up was. Kennewick, Miller, Shan
afelt, Mueller, GLASGOW, Duffy.
Pasco, Wellman, Yamauchi, Whit
set, Wager and Perry. Very little
substituting was done. The final
score was Is to Ii in Kennewick's
favor.

Basket Ball

Of interest to Kennewick has
ket ball fans are the two double
header games coming up this
week.
The first two games will be
played on Friday night, January
%, at Prosser. The Prosser boys in
a game with Pasco beat Pasco
badly. Prosser girls have a good
team, having been beaten only by
Richland. If Kennewick hits fast
stride the games will be close.
Benton City is the pride of the
class B division in this district.
They have a team of smooth-work-
ing veterans who have taken pos
session of the class B division
championship. These games, both
boys and girls, are to be played on
the Kennewick floor, Saturday,

Recent state supreme court de-
cisions on industrial cases are such
that employers of the future for
their own protection will be called
upon to fence in their factories
and plants and permit employees or
prospective employees only to get
as far as the employment office.
Well away from the actual plant.
This will be due to recent inter-
pretations Of the state law by the
state supreme court which takes
the position that if a man is once
employed by a plant, and then re-
turns seeking more work and is
hurt while visitor at the plant
he is entitled to industrial insur-
ance.
The most recent case came up
from Lewis county. In this instance
the injured workman, a filler work
ing on the night shift, went to the
saw mill in the afternoon seeking
the head filler to see if he could
get some extra work in during the
day time. While on the mill site
he was injured. The court held that
he was entitled to compensation as
an employee.
This means that only men who
have actually check in on the job
should be in the future permitted
inside the factory grounds be-
cause if injured there the state in
dustrial fund will foot the bill.
This Interpretation indicates an
attitude Of mind on the part of the
courts that the state is no longer
operating under an industrial in
surance act but under an ordinary
indemnity policy, the premiums of
which are paid by the employer to
provide insurance for any person

OLD ISSUES
TO APPEAR
THIS FALL
Political Problems Still to Be
Fought Over; Relief Legis-
lation to be Sought; Seek
Repeats, Too

Naturally this state has a more
keene interest in the railroad
problems than a majority of the
commonwealth of the nation.
Hence it is that the financial
troubles of the carriers and the
demands being made upon Presi-
dent Hoover for some kind of as
sistance is attracting considerable
interest with the State Depart
ment of Public Work, the success
sor of the old Railroad Commits
sion.
Among those steps being sug-
gested by the president is the
Railway Credit Corporation which
for the benefit of the weak lines
would pool excess earnings from
rate increase. Second, there is the
emergency rail aid to be had from
the s5O0,0O0,0O0 Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, the speedy
enactment of which the president
has asked congress. Third, the
proposed wage reduction, which If
made at 10 percent at the opening
of the coming conference between
the operators and the Brother
hoods, will leave $500, 100000 of
revenues earning with the roads.
This together with the additional
$100,0O0,000 increased rates will
bring in, will tide the carriers
over, operating heads believe.
Incidentally it will also releave
the market tension and saves sew
eral hundred thousand Of small in
vestors in railroad securities from
losing most of the capital.
Now that the Democrats have
taken hold of Congress it might
be of interest to look over some
of the pet schemes or plans of
the leaders of Democracy now sit
ting in the high places in the
Senate and House.
incidentally the opening days Of
Congress found 1888 bills in the
House and 2,311 in the Senate.
Some of these bills represent
pet schemes. For instance, Sena-
tor Sheppard, Texas, would make
the purchaser of liquor equally
guilty with the buyer under the
Jones Five and Ten law. Shep-
pard is a Democrat as are these:
Senator Dill wants Senate broad
casting station; Senator Hull of
Tennessee would repeal tariff flex-
Utility; Senator Wagner of New
York wants s250,0O0,000 for d.
rect unemployment relief; Repre-
sentative Crisp of Georgia pro-
poses to kill the Farm Board; AL
mon of Alabama would grant vet
Grams 100 percent of the face val
ne of their bonus certificates at
once; Vinson of Georgia would
build the navy to full treaty
strength; Blanton of Texas would
use the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps to enforce the prohibition
law.
On the Republican side Senator
Brookhart of Iowa would abolish
the gold standard; Capper of Kan
sas would stop short selling of
stocks.
Chicago, second city in the Unit
ed States cannot pay its debts.
Philadelphia, third, is also bank
rupt and ten days ago could not
pay its debts. Clifton, Paterson
and Passaic, N. j., cannot pay
their share of taxes to state and
counties. North Bergen, N. j. is
utterly insolvent with a receiver
ship in prospect.
While this is happening other
cities are finding their bonds and |
warrants a drug on the market |
without takers.
Seattle in this state is finding
it hard to dispose of its bonds
and this is not expected.
