The group of musicians from
Whitman college who put on the
concert here under the auspices of
the Kiwanis club Monday night were
well pleased with the reception ac-
corded their efforts. While the at
tendance left much to be desired,
the response from those who were
there was spontaneous and appre-
ciative. It made the singers feel
repaid for their efforts and they ex-
pressed their willingness to come
back here again some time. In fact
they stated that tey felt that the
audience here responded more
warmly than in any other town the
group has visited this year. The
concert was really meritorious and
it is too bad that more Of our people
could not have heard it. No doubt
they will come again next year, II
they are invited.

FARM "SIT-DOWNS"

If the new fad of Shutdown strikes
ever hits the farm it's going to bring
everyone around Kennewick a lot
of good laughs. Just think of far
mer, as he goes to feed the hogs, for
instance. He would sit down on the
pig pen and sit there until the price
of pork advanced. Then the house.
wife, when half through with her
churning, would stage a sit-down
strike until the price of butter adj
vanced. Not another lick would she
churn, but just sit there, dasher
in hand, unconcerned as to wheth-
er the butter came or not.
The farm hand, too, going out to
milk would sit upon his milking
stool and when about half done
would cease his labor, take a chew
of tobacco, stretch out his legs in
comfort and remain there until his
wages were raised. Night would
come and the farm hand would lay
his manly head over against old
Bossy's side and fall off to sleep UNI
til the dawning of another day, but
without another drop of milk being
forced down into the pail.
Yes, there's going to be a lot of
fun when the sit-down strike fad
hits the farm, and yet it might
prove a good thing. It would shut
off the food supply Of the city sit
down strikers, and without the
farmers meat, milk, butter, eggs
and vegetables a sit-downer would
quickly surrender Maybe a general
sitting down on the farm would stop
all that sort of silly-and costly
nonsense in the city when nothing
else could.

THEN AND NOW

One of the most amazing things to
the average citizen is the seemingly
short space of time that has elapsed
since it was next to impossible to
buy fresh vegetables in Kenne-
wick grocery during the winter
months. Thirty years ago about the
only thing in this line a grocer
could offer his customers were car
rots, onions, potatoes and turnips.
Now it is possible to get vegetables
of every variety right in the dead Of
winter, if the grocer chooses to
carry them. ...s ill.,. ~"
Today the g rocery display of veg
etables in every section of the us.
is just as attractive in December or
January as it is in June or July.
Beans, peas, tomatoes, lettuce and
radishes alternate in colorful rows,
with beets, carrots, parsnips and
celery. Improved transportation,
modern methods of refrigeration
and hot-house growing of garden
truck have brought about this
change. ..,<s
Prices are, of course, lower when
these vegetables are in the season
locally, and when gardens are pro-
ducing. But even now prices for
these same things in winter months
are becoming lower each year as
growers and shippers learn more
and more about packing them and
keeping them fresh for long periods.
Fresh vegetables the year round
is something to be thankful for. It
means better eating and better
health in the home, and that GER
tainly is in itself sufficient to cause
every citizen to rejoice that he is
living in an era of year-round veg
etables.

The deep test well in the Rattle
snake gas district Is being reamed
out this week, preparatory to casing
off the several hundred feet of wa

that the big bit will drop into the
shale at the rate Of about fifty feet

the bits are now at work Is very en-
couraging, according to reports COM
ing from that area.

which has the operations In charge,
Is starting another well in the Nab
ton district, according to K. G. Gif-

Daphne was at home. Daphne, still in her cherry-colored taffeta evening froc<, was lying on the lounge with her arms raised and her hands under her head, contemplat- ing the ceiling as though some love ly line were written there. Jennifer paused uncertainty in the doorway and stalled for an opening line.
 T thought you were never com- ing home," Daphne said quite un- expectedly. ''You're bridge lasted late at Helen's. Oh, Jennifer, what do you thtnk?"
 Jennifer sighed with relief and said she didn't think. She knew from the stars in Daphne's eyes, from the flush that laid pink petals on her cheeks, that her role was to listen-a role for which she was grateful. sE
 One silver -sandledi foot swung be- side the sofa. The other twisted back and forth and held Daphne's gaze. T may be wrong but I think Larry is in love with me"
 "Dopel" Jennifer retorted. T could have told you that long time ago. What hapened2"
 Happened? Nothing, except that he spent most of the evening start ing to say something, clearing his throat and hanging onto my hand. Then he dashed of to get his train and said he was going to call me when he got home. Oh, Jennifer, you don't suppose he was trying to tell me bad news, do you?"
 DO you mean he's going to call you tonight?"
 That's what he said. I'm wait ing for his call now. Oh, dear, I'm frightened"
 Jenifer stifled yawn. "Well, if you don't mind standing the watch alone, I think I'll run along to bed. Standing all day long on my poor feet is no easy job and Mandlebaum bawled me out for being late this morning. Being a model is no soft job like yours" Daphne would have sighed wear fly had she been listening to Jen- infer. She would have recognized the old signs. Jennifer was getting bored with her job modelling. After only one month.
 A month ago Daphne had broken down when she was convinced that Jennifer made no effort to learn at the secretarial school and had given her permission for Jennifer to &C., cept the job modelling.
 She had been glad because Jen- infer earned 8 better salary and Daphne was able to buy herself some new clothes. It was aston ishing how interested she had be- come in clothes. 4She wanted smart, pretty things to wear for Larry. And Larry had always so many delightful, new things for them to do.
 Her thoughts swung back to Larry and the new apprehension that had suddenly sprung to her mind.
 The telephone rang imperiously. Daphne tripped over her skirts in

her eagerness to reach it, gathered them up and fell across her bed to clutch the telephone and remove it from its cradle.
 Hello, she said anxiously and felt her heart beating against her ribs.
 Daphne" = it was Larry = "did you know what I was trying to tell you tonight?"
 Daphne said that she didn't. But don't be frightened, darling. No matter what it is, I want to hear it."
 ''Is it any surprise to you to know that love you?" Daphne made one of those little inarticulate sounds in her throat.
 q haven't told you that I did"
 Daphne waited while time stood ! still.
 T do, Daphne, and I want you to marry me. That was what I was trying to say. I'm going to ask you tomorrow night"
 "Oh, Larryl good night, darling .. until tomorrow"
 When Jennifer, half an hour later, came back from the bath she found Daphne still motionless with her hands over her eyes.
 "Was 1t bad news?" she asked, turning down her bed. "No," Daphne answered as though in a trance. Tt was the most wonderful news I've ever heard"
 But she didn't tell Jennifer what it was. Or how bitter sweet, be- cause she knew she couldn't tell Larry she would marry him. It wouldn't be fair to him to ask him to wait the long, long time that stretched before her before she would be free.
 She fell asleep with her happi- ness knowing that the morrow was to dim 1t.

CHAPTER XII

Tuck, please" Jennifer tugged gently at Tuck Ainsley's sleeve. She smuggled him in the low-slung road sterI Please be my lamb and stop here. Do you want to start something at this stage of the gamer"
 He reached for the gear and pulled it back. Young lady, are you trying to kid me? This is schoolgirl stuff, stopping the car . block from your apartment. I won't have 1t. You're a strange mixture of a sophisticated woman and child. capt dope you out"
 Just make up your mind that Tim femme fatale or was" she said, lowering her voice and brushing his cheek with hers, until met you. Now, kiss me, because I've got to get in. It's after one and Daphne will be getting home soon, if she isn't al- ready there."
 She opened the car door.
 Tuck pulled her back. You know I don't like doing this to Daphne. She's, a good friend Of mine and this isn't quite cricket"
 Jennifer regarded him coldly. Make up your mind, Tuck. Do l count or does 'an old friend rate?"
 ssWhen you lok 50 beautifully llaughty, my love, you do. But in tie cold light of reason, I don't forget Daphne. After all, she is your sister"
 My sister? My keeperl Oh, Tuck. if I weren't crazy about yotatsT wouldn't take any risks. After all, they ares, my risks. Daphne can be dreadful when she want to be. She has a good time. She loves her job and she has Larry-and hasn't she Larry! I trip over him all the time but I'm supposed to act like a num-"
 He laughed. Mot that you do, YOU minx. You'd better run along If you won't let me come with you"
 
 Jennifer took off her hat and laid her head back against the cushion, staring up at the stars. She took a deep breath. '"This is night for ad- venture, darling. Aren't you glad l made you put the top down on the car? An April night and an April moon! Therell be so many others and we won't be together. It makes me sad. I've never known anyone like you, Tuck, and I feel lonesome just to think that some day I'll lose you. You'll see this same moon with someone else"
 {. He drew her close to him. Her 1.-the figure fitted smoothly into his arms, her soft lips brushed his cheek the perfume of her mingled with the soft scent of the night air.
 T may" he said, but why shouldn't we see it again and again together?"
 For an instant her eyes opened and looked over his shoulder into the future. She smiled to herself in the darkness.
 He had said 1t, she said to her. self and slipped gently out of his embrace.
 Tomorrow at four at Grace's she said aloud, and kissed the tips of his fingers gently. Then she ran out of his sight. She was breathless when she ran up the steps and let herself into the hall of the apartment house. Then, she stopped, freshened her lips, smoothed her hair. She glanced anxiously at her wrist-watch. It was 1:3O and she'd have some tall explaining to do if Daphne was at home.
