SECOND LIBERTY LOAN.


The United States government has
begun it's energetic campaign to. float
the secoifd of the liberty loans neces-
sary to make this country effective in
the world war. The specific goal is
three billion dollars, but, it is hoped
the subscriptions will far exceed this,
and that the subscribers will total one
tenth the, population. "
The loan should appeal to every
man, woman and-yes, to every child
in the land. It is, not enough to say
that one has subscribed to the first
loan. The loyal American should sub
scribe for every loan if possible. And
in many cases it will be possible, by
diht of economy.
The second liberty loan has got to
be success. Every liberty loan has
got to be q success. If the nation can't
float it's loans, the money will have
to be secured in other and more dras-
tic ways, and this would unsettle the
entire economic, financial and indus
trial fabric of the country.
But there is something else, too,
quite as Important: A failure on the
part of this fabulously rich country to
oversubscribe each of it's war loans
would be worse than a dozen failures
in a dozen gigantic offensives in
France or Flanders. 1t would he
sign to Germany that all her offenses
had failed to arouse resentment.
The Germans would say, and right
fully, that the Americans condoned
the Lusitania assassinations: that we
cared nothing about attacks upon
ships flying the American flag; that
we were Indifferent about the proved
Germanic plots to blow up our facto-
ries. More-they would say, with
every sign of truth, that the people
were not supporting their govern
ment; that the people were pro-peace
and even pro-German
The failure, or near-failure, of any
of our liberty loans would do more
than dozen victories to ginger up
the waning morale of the German
armies and people.
To the soldiers in the trenches,
weary of the war and hopeless of sue
cess against the allies, the message
would go forth: Hold out yet little
longer The Americans are not COM
ing into this war with their full
power"
To the people back home, cold and
hungry and praying for peace, the kai-
serists would say: Endure yet a lit
tie while and crushing victory will be
ours. The Americans are not COM
ing"
No American with red blood, no
American who believes in democracy
and freedom, can afford to let any
such message go back to Germany.
We are sending our best boys to
France. 1t is up to. us to stand back
of them with all we have of money
and supplies. They are there to see
the war through to the end. 1t is our
part to see. them through to the end.
If we don't, we are betraying them.
The American people have never
been cutters. It is unbelievable that
they will be 5now.s On the contrary,
there is every reason to believe they
will make of this second liberty loan
q rempndous success,
It can only be such success II

RICHLAND ROAD
Is GIVEN $4,000
State Highway Commissioner
Makes Recommendation to
the Legislature

In his proposed highway budget
submitted to the roads and bridges
committee of the legislature, State
Highway Commissioner Allen recon-
mends that $4,000 be expended on
the state highway from Richland west
ward. This is the amount which Com
missioner Allen believes will be nee
essary to complete the state road be-
tween Richland and Benton City which
was in an impossible condition last
summer and will be again this sum-
mer unless it is surfaced.
While the legislature is under no
obligation to follow Mr.. Aliens re-
concentrations, this budget will un-
doubtedly be used as basis for the
biennial program. A total of $685.
$50 is recommended to be spent on
state highways Of which 81 ,6S5, ,1S6 is
to, be raised in the public highway
fund, $601 ,304 is to come from the
federal aid road fund, $674,0OO is re-
commended to be used on the state
highways from the permanent high
way fund, while railroads will contri-
butte $22,5OO. 20 !.

PROSECUTOR TO BRING
AUDITOR BEFORE COURT
FristOe Charges that Syfford Served
the Drinks in the Commits. ..
s. siOners' Room

There seems to be no telling what
will happen next in the court house
row and new sensation may be
sprung at any minute. In fact dis
tinctly new one was sprung last Thurs
day when Prosecuting Attorney C. w.
Fristoe filed four complaints against
Auditor j. C. Syfford charging him
with illicitly giving away liquor.
The prosecutor alleges that Mr.. Syf-
ford served the drinks to Commits
sioners F. L. Bash and R. E. Pratt,
Attorney E. E. Todd and ]. B. Glenn
ents in the commissioners room in the
court house. The hearing was set for
Monday of this week but has been
postponed until next Monday.
The incident doesn't seem to be
worrying Mr.. Syfford much. He says
he has engaged attorneys and is ready
to meet the charges in court and looks
upon the affair as one of the many
little unpleasant situations which he
will probably be called upon to meet
before the court house scrap has been
settled.

OREGON MAN BUYS LAND
W.H.Mather Gets Coffin Ranch and a
Garden Tracts Home

One of the largest real estate deals
reported in the Kennewick valley for
some time was closed this week when
w. II. Mather, of Baker, Oregon, pur-
chased 67 acres of raw land north of
the Coffin Brothers Ranch below Fin
ley. The tract fronts the Columbia
and is ideal alfalfa land, both as to
soil and drainage. The property,
which was owned by Argo and Cooper,
Of Spokane, and Walla Walla, was un-
incumbered and was purchased for
spot cash.
Mr.. Mather has also traded resi-
aence property in Huntington, Oregon,
for the 9-acre Woodrum home in the
Garden Tracts. Mr.. Mather will rent
this property and will develop and
make his home on the valley tract,
which will be seeded to alfalfa. The
deals were handled by o. w. Rich.

Big BUSINESS
FOR PRODUCE
COMPANY, 1916
Gross Merchandise Sales of Four
Cooperative Stores Amounts
to $352,10O
ANNUAL DIVIDEND DECLARED
Five New Directors are Elected at the
Annual Meeting of the
Stockholders

The Produce company exceeded the
quarter million mark by more than
one hundred thousand dollars in the
volume Of business done in their four
stores last year. On the whole the past
year has been the most successful
since the company started in business,
April 1, 1909.
The report of General Manager Sly
submitted to the stockholders at their
annual meeting in the Commercial
club rooms yesterday afternoon shows
total business of 1852, 100, divided
among the four stores as follows:
merchandise sales, Kennewick store,
$4,000; Prosser, $4,000; White
Bluffs, $4,000, Finley, $4,000; box
factory, $4,000; hay sales, carloads
only, $1,000. ra II
The net cost Of handling this busi-
ness was 11.2 per cent and the net
profit for the year was SIG, 1871 from
which a ten per cent cash dividend
was declared and the remainder pass
ed to, the undivided profit account.
. Since starting business the COM
pany has declared 67 per cent in cash
and 30 per cent stock dividends, or on
an average of 1914 per cent annual
dividends. The present issued capi-
tai is $52,976. The present undivided.
profit account amounts to $24,815,
making the book value of the stock
$1.46. The company has 395 stock
holders as follows, Kennewick 157,
Prosser 20, White Bluffs &C, Finley 81,
and non-residents rs. -er.r
An interesting item in the report
is the amount of produce which the
company purchased direct from the
ranchers. In only one of the a stores
is the produce account segregated
from the total business SO that it is
impossible to give the full volume Of
this business. The purchases made
direct from the ranchers by the Ken
newick store alone during the year
were as follows:

MUST SHOOT BY JULY
FIRST OR LOSE OUT
Annual Allowance of Ammunition for
Rifle Club Members Good
Until July 1

There will be some interesting and
exciting trophy shoots on the local
rifle range this year if the present
plans Of the Kennewick Rifle club are
carried out. In order to stimulate
interest and facilitate practice the club
has been divided into four squads with
an enthusiastic leader in charge Of
each.
Some Of the plans of the club are
set forth in the following circular
which has been issued by Secretary
G. H. Shanafelt: e.E1
Dues for this year, 1917, are due
Feb. 1st. If you have not used up
your allowance of 12O rounds of free
ammunition you will have until July
l in which to shoot it but the dues
must be paid before you are entitled
to the use of the range. Paying these
dues and firing your allowance will
entitle you to 120 rounds of ammuni-
tion for next year which can be drawn
any time after July 1st, as our re-
QUESTION goes in right after that date.
We are planning on some medals
and trophys for the high men in each
squad, with grand prize for the high
man in the club. Possibly a new rifle
will be offered as this prize.
johnson, Sheppard, Beste and
Gleichman are the squad leaders. The
squads will have their regu-
ular days assigned for them. Later
competitive shoots will be held be-
tween the squads. ss..,.s as
Our order for new rifles will be
sent in about Feb. 5. If you want to
order one leave your order and the
money with the secretary. New guns
cost IS, used ones like the club now
has, So. These prices do not in
clude freight charges. New barrels
for the Krags can be had for So cents.
The first competitive shoot of the
season will be held between the Mud
hens and the Helldivers next Sunday
afternoon at 1 o'clock. s...... -.

NEXT YEARS LYCEUM
COURSE Is ARRANGED
Five Strong Numbers are Select
ed-TO Make Good on Mt.
Vernon Singers

Miss Blanche Maurence, of the Red
path ,Lyceum Bureau, was in the city
this week for the purpose of arranging
next years course. The five attrac-
tions selected by the local committee
make up undoubtedly the strongest
course the city has ever had. The
numbers are Elsie Baker and Com
pany, The Schumann Quintet, Montra-
vile M. Wood, DR.. Edward Steiner
and the Homeland Male Quartet.
q There is no doubt but that Elsie
Baker will be the first musical artist
of her rank to visit Kennewick. Her
beautiful contralto voice has won her
distinction in concert work but she
is more widely known to music lovers
thru her Victrola records. Miss Baker
will be accompanied by William Dur
ieux, cellist, and Frank Hauser, pian-
ist.
The Schumann quintet headed by its
organizer, Carl Lampert, is an all-star
organization of violinists, cellist, pian-
ist and soprano. Montraville Wood,
scientist, was one Of the strongest
numbers of the course two years ago.
Mr.. Wood will return next year with
a change of program and some in
teresting new features. DR.. Steiner
ranks among the very best students,
authors and lecturers in America to-
day. He is recognized as an authority
on immigration and his coming will
be rare intellectual treat for the res
idents of town of this size. The
Homeland Quartet is just four red
blooded young Americans with a lot
of pep and music in their makeup.
They sing little bit of everything
from the National Anthem to the pop
ular song hits and the rollicking col
lege choruses. su.r .- .-. F.. .s-#
In answer to the committees COM
plant that the Mt. Vernon Singing
Party on this years course had failed
to make good, Miss Maurence prom
ised to send substitute attraction
that will make good. She was unable
to say definitely what the number will
be but it will be given in the near fu-.
ture without additional charges % the
holders of season tickets.

MEASLES LID NOW
TIGHTER THAN EVER
High School is Closed and All
Children Excluded from
Public Gatherings

In the hope that the community may
be more speedily freed from the grip
Of the measles last weeks quarantine
has been made to apply to all school
children regardless Of age. This means
that until further notice all school
children will be excluded from church,
Sunday school, picture shows and all
public gatherings.
The hope that the high school might
weather thru the epidemic was aban-
doned Monday when the roll showed 81
absentees in the building, or an in
crease of about 100 per cent since
Friday. The board Immediately or
dered the building closed indefinitely.
City Health Officer DR.. Crosby says
that it is impossible at this time to
say how long it will be necessary to
keep the quarantine in force. A can
vass of the situation will be made the
last of the week in the hope that the
schools may be reopened by Tuesday
or Wednesday of next week. The epi-
demic will soon be over, the doctor
says, if parents will cooperate with
the authorities in seeing that the
quarantine is strictly observed. But
it may be weeks yet before the con-
tagion can be stamped out if child
rem are permitted to go where they
may become exposed or expose other
children.

for any person to attempt to influence
member in regard to any measure,
without first making known his inter-
est in the measure. Both of these
steps were taken in a large measure
because of the great number Of people
lobbying for or against the proposed
educational and military bills.
Defends Dry Law
George D. Conger, superintendent
of the state Anti-Saloon league, an
nounces that the present dry law has
worked great benefits for the people
of the state. He cites the falling off in
the number. Of inmates at the state
penitentiary, the state reformatory
and the three state insane asylums, as
evidence of results accomplished. In
spite of the high cost of living the
board of control estimates that it will
cost less for the maintenance of the
inmates than during the past two
years. The proposed new addition to
the state reformatory will not have
to be built, and convictions are becom-
ing so scarce at the penitentiary that
it is likely that no more men will be
available for the honor camps on the
state road work.

COYOTE COMES TO TOWN
Peckenpaugh Meets Mad Animal Face
to Face on Washington Street

Peckenpaugh Meets Mad Animal Face
to Face on Washington Street
Kennewick experienced another ra-
bies scare last Thursday night when a
mad coyote left his haunts in the sage
brush and came down town to see the
sights. There was a rather tense mo-
ment when E. r. Peckenpaugh and the
animal met face to face on the Wash
ington street bridge. The coyote kept
coming straight ahead, but Pecken-
paugh took to the canal and sought
safety under the bridge. "
Mr.. Peckenpaugh Immediately came
back down town and reported to the
Chief Of Police who instituted hur-
ried coyote hunt. The animal was seen
later near the s., p. &. S. depot but
succeeded in eluding the pursuers.
