CITY REGISTRATION is
AWAY BEHIND SCHEDULE
Voters Must Get Names on Books
by Tomorrow Night to Vote
at the Primaries

Just about half the people of Ken
newick are going to find themselves
out of luck when they come around
to vote at the primaries, if they don't
get busy and register by tomorrow
(Friday) night.
The registration books will be open
at the city clerks Office both tonight
and tomorrow night to accommodate
those who can't get there in the after
noon. There will, however, have to
be some fast registering done tomor-
row to bring the city books anywhere
near a full count, as a check-up of the
names today showed that not more
than half of the voters are registered
in any of the wards.
In the country precincts the regis
tration is much more nearly complete
as all those who voted at the general
election in 1916 will not have to reg
lister again for two years more, unless
they have moved from one precinct
to another.
If you live in the city, however, ant
failed to vote at the last city election
or. have. moved from one ward tx
another, you must re-register, and yol
must do it by tomorrow night or yol
cannot vote at the primary election.

PEOPLE URGED TO
SELL SCRAP IRON
Serious Shortage of Metal
Threatens Ship Industry
of Northwest

Farmers or others who have any
scrap cast iron around their places
will be doing patriotic duty if they
will gather it up and bring it to the
local junk dealer. So says E. B.
Swart, agent for the American Iron
and Steel Institute, who is making
survey of the scrap iron resources of
the state.
/. Mr.. Swart visited at the home of his
brother-in-law, Rev. Campbell w.
Bushnell, yesterday. He interviewed
the junk dealers here and made trip
to Walla Walla for the same purpose
yesterday, returning here last eve
ming. He. says that really serious
shortage of scrap iron exists in the
northwest and that all old machinery
lying around the farms Of the state
must be broken up and shipped to the
foundries at once unless the ship build
ing industry is to be seriously ham,
pered.
Seattle alone" said Mr.. Swart, sis
using 10000 tons of scrap iron per
day. In normal times the return of
scrap just about offsets the wastage
of metal, but now that the metal is
going into ships and leaving the coun-
try never to return, serious famine
of iron threatens.
1--WE want scrap cast iron particu-
larly. The demand for steel scrap is
not so keen, tho the foundries can
use that also. Like great many other
commodities, the government has
stepped on the profteer and has sci
the price of scrap iron at $34 per ton
sorted and delivered at the foundries
The junk man is entitled to reason
able profit in addition to his cost OF
sorting and shipping so that he cannot
be expected to pay any fancy price
In fact, the price is considerably be-
low what is was a few weeks ago
But this is not the junk dealers fault
Those who have scrap iron to sci
should bring it in as an importan'
patriotic duty and they may be sure
that whatever price the dealer quote:
lis a fair one"

GETTING READY FOR
new REGISTRATION
Supplies are Delivered to Reg
istrars, but No Date Yet
Announced

Miss Kathryn Severyns, deputy
county auditor, was in Kennewick yes
terday distributing supplies and max
ing preliminary arrangements for the
new draft registration of men between
18 and "a. Altho no date for the reg
istration can be set until the bill re-
ceives the presidents signature, which
is expected today, it is probable that
it will be sometime during the second
week in September.
AS in last years registration, the
coming one will be held at the county
voting precincts and in each of the city
wards. In the first ward, Rev. Bush
nell will act as registrar at the old
city hall room; in the second ward E.
w. Trenbath will probably register the
men at his office, and in the third ward
the registration will be in charge of
Mrs. M, E. Soth at her home.
The QUESTIONABLE cards are practical
ly the same as those used at the first
registration.
The 'work or fight" amendment in
serted in the new manpower bill by
the senate had been eliminated after
long dispute yesterday and the adop-
ton of the measure in its original
form, with but one or two minor
amendments, is expected today. Under
the new draft the war departments
program now calls for the raising OF
new army of 1900, 900 men, two mil
lion of whom will be overseas by nexi
June, in addition to the million and 8
half now abroad or-in camps.

try thousands of teachers have for
saken their profession to take up some
other of the many lines of work open

a busy summers work for the local

cancies caused by score of resigna-
tions. Several of the positions have
been filled twice, teachers first elected
to the places having resigned and
others being selected to fill their places

One position, that of agricultural
teacher, the board has found impos-
sible to fill and this course will be
abandoned temporarily. The schools
are fortunate, however, in being able
to secure the services of Miss Shier,
who will again have charge Of the mu-
sic and drawing. Miss Shire resigned
at the close of last term and had not

of Mrs. Robert Tallman, who as Miss
Freda Thomson, taught here last year

this year. Her place as principal will
be filled by Mrs. E. C. Trip who had

80 PER CENT WHEAT
IN VICTORY FLOUR
Beginning Sept. LIST Use of Sub
stitutes for Wheat will
Be Relaxed

Effective september 1SC, Tic loou
regulations affecting flour will be
amended to permit the use of 80 per
cent Of wheat flour in bread and pas
tries instead Of the $3.50 order now
in force. This will apply to all mix
lures of wheat and substitutes except
the wheat and rye mixtures, in which
the per centage of rye must be 40 per
cent instead of 20 per cent as in the
case of other substitutes.
It is also the purpose of the food ad-
ministration to discourage the buy
ing Of wheat flour and substitutes
separately. Instead millers will be
urged to grind and put upon the mar
ket Victory" flours, so that the coun-
try may be on mixed flour basis
without the necessity of retailers
making combination sales of flour and
substitutes.
These "Victory Mixed Flours" are
to be labeled with their ingredients in
the order of their proportion and will
be milled according to the following
standard: Mixed wheat and barley
flour shall be in the proportion of
four pounds wheat flour to one pound
barley flour; wheat-corn flour, four
pounds wheat to one pound corn;
wheat-barley-corn, eight of wheat to
one each of barley and corn; wheat
rye, three of wheat to two Of rye;
whole wheat or graham shall contain
at least 95 per cent of the wheat ber-
Iry.

ers, wholesalers, retailers and bakers
to thirty days. supply will be changed
to permit sixty days supply. The
