WHEAT CROP OUTLOOK Is.
BETTER THAN LAST YEAR
e. w. Trenbath Believes Horse Hea-
ven Yield will be Fairly Good
In Spite of Hot Weather

That the wheat crop outlook in the
Horse Heaven is better now than at
this time last year is the belief of
E. w. Trenbsth, Of the firm Of Tren-
bath & Tweedt. Mr.. Trenbath, who
has been making his annual grain in-
surance tour Of the hills, has visited
many farms this week.
He says that while the wheat yield
has been cut down some in the last
two weeks by hot weather, with the
absence of whitening hot winds there
will be a fair crop without rain be-
tween now and harvest. In some fields
the wheat looks brown and scorched
but the heads are filing well and there
will be a fair yield even there. The
early Bart wheat he says is proving
its worth in the Horse Heaven country
as it will make, even in the dryest
years, crop that is worth harvesting

MAKE PLANS TO
IMPROVE STREETS
Council Announces Intention of
Trying Once More to Make
Good City Streets

just by way of recreation during the
hot weather, the city fathers have
once more tackled the problem Of do
ing something to those of the city
streets which were improved with oil
macadam last year. At the sugges
ton Of engineers the council has laid
of of the street proposition until hot
weather and aow they hope to make a
good job out Of a poor one.
At an adjourned meeting of the city
council Fridsy evening there was
passed resolution of intention which
calls for cleaning, leveling and giving
the streets n new top dressing. Pro-
perty owners who oppose the improve
ments are to be given chance to be
heard at meeting the evening Of July
8.
Definite specifications, together with
estimated costs have net yet been pre-
pared and until this is done it will not
be known just what is TO be done to
the streets. Contractor Wilson, of WAL
la Walla, has advised that he believes a
satisfactory job can be done by clean
ing the present surface and giving it
q surface of oil and sand.
! Engineers are Of the opinion that the
job will be very difficult one upon
which to bid, and suggest that prob
ably the most satisfactory plan will
be to do the work By force account
with q competent engineer in charge
or to let the contract upon = cost-plus
basis.

READY FOR BIG
WAR STAMP. DRIVE
Citizens are Placed Upon Own
Responsibility and Asked
to See COmAftteemen

The committee in charge of the To-
cal campaign for the sale Of War Saw
ings stamps will vary slightly the plan
of campaign outlined by the state
committee. The pledge meetings as
provided for in the state plan will not
be held because it is thought more ef-
fective results can be obtained by
other methods and because it is diff
ficult at this time Of year to get the
farming population out to the meet
ings.
The campaign is to be conducted by
as little personal solicitation as pos
sible. Every citizen is to be placed
upon his own responsibility and he
will be asked to call on the solicitor
instead Of the solicitor calling on him
Before the end of this week an ap-
peal will be mailed to the head of ev-
cry family in the district requesting
that he and his family respond to
their country's call. In part this ap-
peal says: sOn or before June % the
government wants a pledge, signed by
you, stating the amount of War Saw
ings stamps you will agree to pur-
chase during the balance of this cal
endar year.
Owing to agricultural conditions
there will be no meetings held, but
the pledges will be in the hands Of a
committee in your district, and the
names of this committee are given be-
low. See one of them at once and
sign your pledge and thus save them
from looking you up. It will be neces-
sary for all to do their utmost at this
time that the quota of Benton county
may be raised. Yours for another

REGISTRANTS
RECLASSIFIEDBY
LOCAL BOARD
Forty One Men Are Raised from
Fourth and Fifth Classes
to the First and Second
PHYSICAL BARS LOWERED
Men with One Leg Missing May Now
be Held for Limited Military
Service

As result of the Redistribution
of military sclective service lists, pur-
suant to a recent order from the Office
of the provost marshal general, the To-
cal board for Benton county has ad-
vanced forty-one registrants from de-
ferred classifications to classes one
and two. The board has completed the
recheck of the list of questionaires
and several other changes will prob
ably be made as number of regis
trants have been placed on the inves-
tigation list until further information
can be secured.
Sheriff C. E. Duffy, chairman of the
board, who is in the city today, said
that new order has just been receiv-
ed by the board requiring that ques-
tionaires now be rechecked as to the
physical fitness Of the registrants and
that when this is done several regis
trants who were given physical exemp-
tion before will now be held for at
least limited military service.
Copies Of the new standard govern
ing the physical examinations were
received yesterday. The bars are low
cred to such an extent that few men
will be disqualified from army SER
vice. Many men now disqualified will
be placed in the limited service class
Men minus one leg, for example, may
be assigned to limited military ser
vice instead of being disqualified as
heretofore. The possession of all of
ones fingers, even the possession of
the trigger finger, is not an essential
for limited military service.
Every section warns the examining
physician to watch for signs Of malin-
gering. Medical advisers are also re-
minded that deviations from the regu-
1ation height and weight, if the gen.
eral health Of the applicant is good
are not bars to active service. IS
There is considerable speculation as
to just how the new "work or fight"
rule will work. The local board has
not yet received specific instructions
concerning this order. It is under
stood, however, that within the next
few days Provost Marshal General
Crowder will announce some general
ruling as to what constitutes useful
and non-useful employment.
The results Of the re-classification
in this county to date are as follows:

There is a similar law in New Orleans
and at Saratoga Springs, and else
where that racing is conducted, but
racing is INDUCED in Louisiana, and
