Yakima Pirates
Conquer Lions by
14-6 Score

With their names somewhat be-
draggled and a knot or two in their
tails, the Kennewick Lions return
ed from their encounter with the
Yakima Pirates last Friday night.
The game, however, was not as sor-
ry as the score might seem to indi-
cate-14-6. 1. a.
The boys put up a mighty good
scrap, according to all reports. They
made Yakima hustle and with an
other good substitute or two to give
the first string a breather the final
results might well have been trans
posed. Fans are agreed that with
the experience gained from the
tangle with the Pirates that the
Lions are going to be a hard team
to score upon from here on in.
Reymore was the star Of the Ken
newick team, although all the boys
put up a mighty good exhibition. Bill
Helm broke into high school football
with some sort of record or other
that night. In his first game, and
almost on his first certainly
the first time he managed to get his
hands on the ball-BiI toted it over
for the Lions only counter! Bill was
sent in to relieve an end, was out to
receive a pass, snagged it and trot-
ted over the few remaining yards
for touchdown.
But few Of the many Kennewick
spectators knew about the worries
of Coach Slater concerning Quasi
He helped carry Campbell to the
showers after the game and then
quietly collapsed. He was taken to
the hospital where it was feared
that he had sustained q bad injury
to his back. A nights rest, however
showed that no serious damage had
been done.
Tomorrow the Lions viii 60 to
Toppenish to take on the boys. Not
so large a delegation Is expected to
accompany the team as went to
Yakima to see the game under the
lights.

THE Spanish rebellion today is A one of Fascism against CCm- munism, but just about 100 years ago, Spain was racked by a severn year revolt that split the reigning family. The war soon grew into a struggle between constitutional monarchy and absolute autocracy.
 The rift started with the death of King Ferdinand VII, in 1883. Without surviving male issue, Ferdinand left his crown to his daughter, Isabella II. But Don Carlos, brother of Ferdinand, re- sisted this succession on the basis of the old Salic law which passed the country's rule to the deceased rulers nearest male relative.
 Supporting Carlos stood the ab- solute rulers of Europe-the Czar of Russia, the Emperor of Aus tria and the King of Prussia. Against these were England, France and Portugal. For seven years these opponents fought bit- terly, until finally the Carlists were defeated and Isabella contin- ued to reign.
 Memory of this struggle is re- ncwcd not only by lESYySV1FW4N the present revolt, N> S:N but by the series S ,.|s m stamps pictur- 8 kf6'ks ing Queen Isabella tVf. [. ]!

felt sorry for Phil. He would be so disappointed. Yet she was glad, fiercely and triumphantly.
 Come on, everybody, let's dance," she cried, pushing back her chair. "Get something fast on the radio"
 Judith, you are being marvel ous," Phil said, later in the even- ing.
 Something's happened, Judith, can't you tell me about it?" Bruce asked when he came. "The rains stopped. Get a sweater and let's walk"
 In & far corner Marta was en" tertaining Phil and the other men with a gay story. She sat curled up in a corner of the davenport.
 In a moment Judith had @ coat and was out the door. They walked up a hill, stood on its summit, and watched light or two in far farmhouses. Judith was aware of Bruce's sensitive understanding. She forgot about Millicent for moment. She knew only that she had a need for com fort and he could supply 1t. In g word or two she told him of Phil's disclosure.
 He didn't say much but the sic lence was warm and understand ing. They came back down the hill. At a corner of the verands they met another couple. Phil and Marta.
 Judith, where were you?" Phil asked, then he stopped. She knew that he had remembered that to him 1t didn't matter now.
 As she and Bruce turned to en- ter the flre-lighted room, the low, dulcet-sweet tones of Marta Rogers came back to them: And you thought she might be hurt darling! Didn't tell you she only wanted-clothes?'

Far from civilization was a small town which had sprung up as the result of the discovery of a large supply of valuable natural re- source.
 In this town lived a merchant who sold foodstuffs, etc., to the resi- dents. He owned the only coffee- grinder and saw to It that no ground coffee was available so that the people had to come 10 him to have their coffee ground. The mer- chant charged a fee of one-tenth of the coffee that he ground for the service. At this rate. how much coffee must a resident bring to be ground in order to have a pound of coffee to take home after the fee had been taken?

CHAPTER "

Judy, Judy ." Phil repeated.
 Then suddenly, he was on his knees, his fair head buried in Ju- dith'S lap and his shoulders shaking with uncomfortable sobS. She smoothed the rebellious, bright hair, and waited. Now that the hour she had dreaded was here, she was no longer afraid.
 I'm in love, Judith" he said at last.
 T know" Gently gently her tin- gers went on stroking the bowed head.
 You guessedp" His voice was low.
 "Yes, Phil"
 He lifted his head swiftly, and his words scorned his actions, "Oh I'm an ingrate! know 1t, You cant call me anything haven't called myself. And you're swell, Judy Maybe you're too swell. l don't know. You never make mis- takes. I've loved you so. want to go on loving you. Oh, Judy, Judy, why did l stop?"
 T don't know" The words slipped into the silence and were lost.
 "Judith, I've tried to get Marta out of my mind. That luncheon when you saw us the other day was meant to be the last. But couldn't, It's no good, I've tried-Lord, how I've triedl l thought maybe 1t would pass. And I hated not being honest with you"
 T know you did" she agreed, sure that he spoke the truth. I'm glad you are being honest now, Phil. Clean wounds hurt but they heal. Do you-iS she"
 There was one question she couldn't ask.
 T love her" Phil sealed her doom as simply as that. The three words that once had made Heaven for he3, now tore 1t down and scattered the debris over the thick rug Of the den.
 Judith, you arc taking It like a soldier" Phil said, and when a ghost of an old smile shadowed Ju- dith's lips, he flushed little. That wasn't meant to be patronizing. I'm no great loss to you. But to have the routine changed-" He paused and hiO eyes searched her face. You're very wonderful, Judith, dear. l nev- CT dreamed anything could-could tear us apart"
 "Nor did I. But it's all right. The road was good that we travelled to- gether." Odd that she could talk in platltudes when the numbnesS was going from her heart now, into her arms, her legs, her head. You want divorce, Phil?'
 "Nol I mean-yeS. Judith, be- lieve me that this Is different than anything I've ever known. It's burning me, tearing me. don't want her out of my sight Oh God, Judy, can't you understand?" He hurled the challenge at her.
 T think I do, Shall 90 to- Reno?"
 Not until we talk some more. Judith, try to understand Marta. She's all alone and she loves me. I'm her life! You have friends, poise, clothes" Then, as If to jus tify his own reactions, he said. You know, maybe the clothes have sep arated us. You've spent so much time on them, been so proud of be- ing the best dressed woman"
 She opened her mouth to answer, then closed 1t. No, he had built up this protection as an alibi for his actions. He had told this story to himself 50 many times he believed 1t. He had forgotten that 1t was he who had been amused and delight- cd because she had a flair for clothes. She never had cared n the early years. Now she responded to the challenge because Phil ex- pected 1t of her. Curiously, she thought that now she needn't care about clothes. She could forget

Cotton futures opened steady, lower

divided between hedge selling and
trade and foreign buying. October
s.O3; December 898: January e.O1;
March 9.12; May. 9.21; July e.2e.
The undertone was about steady
during early trading, but there was
enough Southern selling and commits
sion house liquidation to supply the
demand and trade fixing orders
were gradually filled at each point of
decline.
Toward the end of the first half
hour prices slowly eased into new low
ground, with January joining the De-
cember delivery below 9 cents as it
sold off to 898.
December eased from s.98 10 s.e4.
leaving prices generally about / 10 4
points net lower.
There was scattered new buying on
the decline, attracted by the lower
prices. Observers saw little indication
of stop orders being uncovered.
Conditions in Texas we're described
as being less favorable for cotton.
according to the weekly survey of
Dallas newspaper. Increasing rains
and showery weather we're having an
unfavorable effect and humidity en-
couraged insects.
Liverpool reported quiet conditions.
