More Than 100000 of

THROUGH THE BANKS

LONDON, England, Dec. 6.-More than
10000 British soldiers have already
applied for land on which to settle
down for 8 quiet life on the farm.
This is the statement Of Herbert e.
Esston, secretary OF the British En-
pire Land Settlement League.
Easton also snnounces that Britain
is about 10 establish system Of land
credit banks which will finance Intend
ing purchasers by advances OF mort
cages.
I'VE have distributed lesflets giving
accounts Of our plans on all the fronts
where there are British fighting men"
said Easton, and already more than
10000 soldiers have applied for land.
by every post, more applications
come In.
Britain is encouraging in every pos
sible way the small farm idea for the
returning men.
The food produced In the United
Kingdom during the war by intensive
cultivation, even with the great short
age OF men. and even though the work
had to be done largely by women vol
unteers and men working ''after hours
greatly exceeded the pre-war produc-
ton. The government wants TO make
the increase permanent.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN AS
SOLDIER INVIcORATOR

N. <. A. Special TO The Evening Journal
LONDON, Dec. 6.--While many AmePf-
cans have never been satisfied because
Charlie Chaplin didn't get into the
British army. the English seem TO have
been satisfied with the service he has
rendered At least the London Express
says this:
"Charlie Chaplin Is the man who
cheers up the troops In France. Think
of a battalion coming out Of the line,
covered with mud. worn out through
broken sleep. easily fatlgued because
their muscles have grown slack through
insufficient exercise, frowsy and dirty.
II you could hear the great roar OF
laughter that bursts from those tired
men when Charlie Chaplin shufiles into
the film with his queer half-jump. half
jerk OF walk. you would feel that the
man who can bring laughter back 10
those men has done them great SER

FFTY-FFTY BASIS FOR
FLOUR is NOW EFFECTIVE
For Every Pound of Wheat Flour q
Pound of Substitutes Must
be Purchased

Potatoes were officially put on the
flour substitute list today by Federal
Food Administrator Charles Hebberd
Tie $3.50 rule was modified to per-
nit the partial use of potatoes in the
proportion of four pounds of potatoes
to one pound of flour substitutes with
flour purchases.
"Flour sales shall be on the follow
ing basis" said Hebberd. with each
pound of flour purchased there shall
be sold one pound of flour substitutes.
The purchaser, however, has the OPP
ton of buying with each pound OF
flour one-half pound of the author
lied substitutes and two pounds of po-
tatoes. For example, with 49-pound
sack of flour the purchaser may buy
PAN pounds of the authorized substi-
tutes, but in that event he shall also
purchase SO pounds of potatoes"

OUTLOOK Is NOT ROSY
FOR BAKING INDUSTRY
Yakima Bakers Discuss Substitute
Shortage at Monthly Meeting
In Toppenish

Chas. Haas, Of the Twin City Bakery
attended the monthly meeting Of the
Inter- Mountain Master Bakers in Top
penish Sunday. About 35 bakers Of
the Yakima Valley were in attendance.
C. Brockhausen, of Prosser, was elect
ed as district representative to the
national convention meeting in Chica-
go Friday and Saturday of next week.
Mr.. Haas says that the bakers are
facing anything but a rosy outlook,
but are facing it with determination
to do their utmost to help the country
conserve food and win the war. The
bakers, he says, have been cautioned
that before next fall it may be neces-
sary to use more than fifty per cent
wheat substitutes in their bakings.
The question Of substitutes was the
principal topic Of the Toppenish meet
ing. That there is a shortgae of sub
stitute flours was. admitted and dis
lcussion Of the ways and means of COM
batting this shortage took up the big
gest part of the afternoon

|VICKERS TEAM WINS
in CLUB CONTEST
They Nose Out Reser's Side by a
Margin of Four NOn-Resi-
dent Memberships

In the Commercial club membership
contest, the team captained by j. w.
Vickers nosed out ahead Of b. f..
Reser's workers by a margin Of four
nonresident members. The two teams
tied on resident members with nine
each, but the winners had four nom
residents to the losers one. Il
At Tuesday evenings meeting it
was decided that the winners should
be the guests Of the losers on the eve
ming Of April 9 at some sort Of func-
tion, the nature of which is to be
left to the tender mercies and clever
designing Of the captain Of the losing
team. At the beginning Of the contest
it was really understood that to the
winners would be accorded the priv
ilege of debating the terms Of the fin
al settlement but in behalf Of the Hoo
yer food program il was thought best
to permit those who are to pay the
bill plan the menu.
The club has not yet decided wheth-
er to resume the weekly Wednesday
luncheons. G. w. Sherk and z. w.
Trenbath Were named as committee
to confer with the management of the
Hotel Kennewick regarding plans for
resuming them.

in Transportation Department ,
in France

c. F. Vandewater, of Yakima, dis
trict freight and passenger agent for
the O-W., has volunteered for Red
Cross service in the transportation
service of the society abroad and has
received assurances that his applica-
ton to be assigned to service imme-
dlately will be favorably considered.
Mr.. Vandewater came to Yakima
from Walla Walla when the O-W. line
was opened for service and is well
known to the business men and ship

to get into the war for some time and
when the Red Cross recently adver-
tised for volunteer workers from the
Northwestern division his opportunity
came.

NO MORE STRAIGHT FLOUR
BREAD In THIS STATE
Bakeries that Do Not Make Bread Ac-
cording to the Victory Plan
to be Closed

Beginning on Wednesday there will
be no more straight flour bread or rolls
in this state, nor in the entire country.
The edict came in wire from Charles
Hebberd, food administrator for WASH
ington. The new order reads:
"At a meeting Of committee Of adj
ministrators with the baking section
of the food administration it was de-
cided to make the slogan Victory
Bread or Close effective March 20. All
bakers who are not using the required
20 per cent of wheat flour substitutes
in bread and rolls must cease baking
those products on March 20, and must
not resume operations until they are
prepared to use the substitutes as re-.
quired, upon pain of revocation of IL
cense. This applies to bread and rolls
only.
"Where surplus Of potatoes exists
we again urge bakers to make use of
them as substitutes to the limit of
their ability, four pounds Of potatoes
being required in place of one pound
of substitutes.
"where administrators are satisfied
that rigid enforcement Of this rule
would result in too great curtail-
ment of the bread supply they are re-
quested to submit the facts to Wash
ington."

WAR SAVINGS DAY
in THE SCHOOLS
Pupils of Kennewick Schools to
Show their Patriotism by In
vesting Their Savings
(School Correspondent

Monday afternoon the War Savings
Stamp campaign started in the high
school and the grades. A program of
a patriotic nature was given to start
the campaign.
The program started by the assem-
bly, singing America and the Battle
Hymn of the Republic. Mr.. Lewis
then spoke on Thrift Stamps, what
they are and how sixteen of them
may be exchanged for War Savings
Stamp, how the War Stamps increase
constantly in value until January 1923
when the certificate may be redeemed
for five dollars.
Rev. Campbell w. Bushnell then
spoke on thrift. He explained the
two kinds of money, the coined and
paper currency. He explained that a
nations credit was as good as real
money and that paper currency of the
United States is good in any part of
the world, due to the stability Of our
government and its ability to redeem
its currency and the honesty of the
government. He made clear that
boarding money was not saving mon
ey and that. using and investing it in
some useful purpose was thrift
Mr.. Moulton gave an inspiring talk
on patriotism, saying that patriotism
does not consist of the thrill one feels
upon the hearing of patriotic song.
The true patriot is the man who is
willing to give all for the sake of the
principles of his country. The thrift
movement is a patriotic movement in
that it urges us to save the things
necessary to carry on the war. Par
ticular emphasis was laid on the fact
that the American people are spenders
and are not thrifty and that more mon
ey will be needed in the reconstruction
period following the war. Money
saved and used for stamps is loaned
to the government and is saved for
the man who has lost it. He said
snake more Of your money work; let
let less of it play-it is your patriotic
duty"
Immediately after the program war
Savings Stamp dodgers" were hand
ed around to every member of the high
school and grades. The high school
will make a united effort to buy war
stamps. Some had already purchased
them.

NEED MORE WORKERS ON
CANAL CLEANING FORCE
Directors Say Farmers on Upper End
of Ditch are Not Responding
.~E to Call for Help

Unless more farmers turn out with
their teams and join the canal working
crew it is going to be impossible to
get the work done by the beginning of
the irrigation season. Down the val
ley the farmers have responded readily
to the call for help, but from flume /
this way the work has been seriously
handicapped because of shortage of
helpers. The directors Of the district
are making a special appeal to the
farmers for help at this time.

POTATO GROWERS
TO MEET MONDAY
Conference to be Held in Seattle
to Discuss Production and
Consumption

A call has been issued to all farmer.
and potato growers of the state tt
meet in convention at Seattle, in tn.
Assembly hall, Arcade building, Mon
day, March 25, to discuss ways and
means for the production and the con
sumption Of normal potato crop.
A serious situation confronts the
farming community of the state and
the consumers as well because of q
threatened potato shortage in 1913
A large part of the 1917 crop is still
inSthe growers hands or warehouset
for lack Of market. The demand last
spring for larger acreage was baset
on national necessity, and the farmers
responded. The result was an over.
production. The loss falls upon the
grower who paid high prices for the
seed and labor of cultivation. Greater
consumption must be provided for 1915
if even normal crop is to be produc.
ed. Some assurance must be giver
the grower to induce him to plan,
what should be planted to provide fol-
normal necessities, or the conditions
and abnormal prices of 1867 will
confront the consumer during the
coming winter. This would be ma
tional calamity.
Potato flour mills and potato evap.
Grating plants have been suggested
but neither solves the present problem
which has to do with last years sur.
plus still on hand.
It has been thought best to take this
up in a general congress or convention
of growers and representatives Of var.
lous commercial organizations, who
will speak and act for the consumer
and as agencies to aid in the establish
ment of potato flour mills and evapor
ating plants.
The congress is called under the aus
pices of the Farmers Protectiv.
League.

FRANK II. PATTEN
Is LABOR AGENT
Local Work of Federal Employ
ment Bureau will be Handled
Thru Dads Place

Frank H. Patten, proprietor Of Dads
Place, has been named federal labor
agent to work under the direction Of
County Agriculturalist Lee M. Lamp
son and the county agricultural coun-
Gil. With the appointment of Mr.. Pat
ten labor agents have been secured for
every telephone center in the county.
The maintaining Of these labor
agents is a part of program which
has been worked out by the depart
ment of agriculture in an effort to
keep the farms supplied with help this
summer. One advantage of such a
system will be the elimination Of lost
time between jobs for as soon as a
worker has finished at one farm he
will be sent directly to another.
The government furnishes each la
Dor agent with the necessary blanks
for keeping an accurate record Of all
the labor needs of his district and pays
all telephone and telegraphic tolls up
to a stated amount. Mr.. Patterns sal
ary here will be paid jointly by the
Commercial club and the different
farmers organizations. He will con-
duct his labor Office at his place of
business which is centrally located and
is open Sundays as well as week days.
Word has been received from the
federal bureau of labor that it may be
impossible to send a representative
here during strawberry picking season
as has been done for the past two
years, but the director has assured
Mr.. Lampson that his department will
render every possible assistance thru
its, agencies in different parts Of the
state.

up day. On that day every city resi-
dent is requested to take day off and
do some real work with the rake and

rubbish that cannot be burned should
be placed in boxes or sacks in the al
leys where it will be picked up by the
city's truck and carted away without

TO IMPROVE STREET

The city council has declared its in
tention of improving a portion of
Railroad street for the purpose of
making a good road to the warehouses
of the Spokane Fruitgrowers company
and the Kennewick District Fruitgrow-
ers Association. The cost of the i'm
provement will be met by the creation
of a local improvement district. 1t is
planned to gravel the street and to
have the work completed before fruit
hauling time.

SEND MAGAZINES
TO BATTERY BOYS
Lieut.. Harrison Says Old Num-
bers Of Periodicals Will be
Greatly Appreciated

If you want to make some soldier
in France happy, send him regularly
each week or month copies Of maga-
zines you have read. This is the sug-
gestion which Lieut.. Frank Harrison
Battery E, 146th F. A., makes in let
ter to his mother, Mrs. S. J. Harrison,
of Benton City. He says:
II want to emphasize again that
something the boys would appreciate
almost as much as letters from people
they do not know, is magazines. If
someone would undertake to send one
soldier each issue Of some magazine
regularly as soon as thru with it him
self, it would be fine. The boys need
more entertainment than they get. The
Courier Reporter might make that
suggestion along with the one that
people write letters. When the boys
in our battery are done with the mag
azines they would be turned over to
the Y. M. C. A."
The readers Of the Courier Reporter
responded splendidly to Captain Wells
call for letters to the homeless" boys
in his command and it is to be hoped
that this suggestion of Lieut.. Harri-
sons will be met by an equally ready
response. Here is not only a chance
to do good turn for the boys at the
front but to rid the household Of that
nuisance, the old magazine. The post
age required to carry medium sized
magazine to a soldier in France is a
cents, or only one cent more than the
postage on letter. 1t is true, of
course that one cent will carry it to
France for distribution in the army if
it is mailed without address but by the
additional three cents the sender has
the assurance that it will be sent di-
rectly to one of the home boys.
Another movement has been started
by the parents of Lieut.. Harrison, and
that is the organization of a sort OF
Battery E parental club. Mr.. Harri-
SON went to Prosser Sunday to start
the movement there and it is to be
taken up in this end Of the county.
The purpose is to bring the parents OF
the Benton county Battery e boys to-
gether into an organization of mutual
helpfulness and for adopting plans for
adding to the comfort of their boys
who are at the front.

MUST HAVE BARRELS

No more barrels; no more spray
This is the message which has been is
sued by the Eek Spray company. Ev-
cry available barrel in the state has
been filled and Kennewick dealers have
been notified that future shipments
will have to be delayed until the emn.
ties can be returned. For that reas,r
every farmer is reques0ed to bring ir
his empty barrels just as soon as pos.
sible.
