Another Park

One of Mayor Alfred Amon's pet
improvements for the town h a $
been gotten under way he an
nounced at the Chamber luncheon
this noon. For several years the
square block in the Garden Tracts
where the old school house used to
stand has been allowed to grow
up to weeds and has become a real
eyesore. Recently arrangements
were made with the school board
and the land is being plowed; lev
eled and will be planted to alfal-
ia for q couple of years. Later a
double row Of trees will be set out
around the square and the place
will be turned into a little park.
The Improvement already made
has been GRATIFYING to the mayor,

Escaped Convict's Double Gives
Local Police Some Fun in
Investigation

The local police force got a
thrill Tuesday morning when they
Thought they had captured the des-
gssrado who recently escaped from
line pen at Walla Walla.
Chief DeHaven had been study
ting the reward pictures and while
making the early round spotted a
rnan who answered every point in
the description, except for the fact
fhaS he had grin instead of a
terrifying scowl. Quickly stepping
back out of arms reach the chief
se1d the young fellow to "stick 'em
up" which he obligingly did while
the chief frisked him for a gat.
Finally he agreed to go to the
station, where Deputy Copeland
was called to help with the invest
igation. The suspect looked aston
Sshingly like the pictures, answer
sad very closely the weight, height,
age and appearance descriptions,
hut he steadily maintained that he
wasn't wanted"
So sure were the police that
they decided to take him to the
pen for more complete examina-
ton. There the prison officials
confirmed the suspects statement
and they let him go, after apollo
gizing for the inconvenience they
had caused. The suspect took it
m good course, and stated he was
glad they didn't do as western Of
fseers had the reputation of doing
shooting first and asking about
it; afterwards.

One time read a story In which
an old man figured prominently.
He wa keen about people and
divided human beings into two
classes--those who could finish q
or wouldn't.
To finish a campaign! TO carry
through to an end a plan OF action
and discouragements!
believe that most failures in
life fall to those who do not or
will not finish O campaign or who
are too indolent to plan for It.
They learned this inertia In
childhood.
II we wish them to be thorough
going, to be stickers and to learn
to put plan and purpose behind
their acts, II Is absolutely necessary
that we train them to 1t when they
are small.
Does Bob tire of making things
when they are about half finished?
Does he go from carving to print
ing from printing to getting up
club, seeking O thrill in starting
new things but never the satisfac-
ton Of completing them? II he
does that now he Is confronting
terrible handicap In later years.
! Age Determines Much
or course something else enters
into It here that we must consider.
The age Of children affects very
materlally the length of time In
which they can keep up their In
terest In one thing. A child OF four
or Ave loses interest and therefore
application, In half an hour or less.
AS he grows older his interest. II IL
intense enough, can be held Tor a
much longer period according to
his age.
Well say that Bob Is twelve. He
10 able therefore to apply himself
to one thing without, firing men
tally, or physically. for quite q long
period.
No one expects him to stick at
his boat carving for twelve hours,
however. This Is where purpose"
comes In If he has q precise idea
Of what he IL going to DO he can
do O bit each day, or each week.
The big thing Is, will he finish that
/ boat-even to Its pennant? Or will
he turn out q complete paper TO
the last period? Or will he organi-
lie n club that Is a club?
We cannot begin when children
are twelve. We must start ut four
or kindergarten age. The end OF
the campaign Is the real test or
character.
