JAPAN'S PROGRESS.

The growth of the japanese rubber
products industry is evidenced by the
steady increase in the imports of raw
rubber into Japan. At present Jap
ans principal exports of rubber goods
are for bicycles and riksha tires,
Japan's trade in canned goods has also
achieved wonderful development and
it is now extending its market further
overseas, in spite of the high prices

PLACES OF REGISTRATION
z UNDER NtW DRAFT Law
All Who Come Between the Ages of
Is and Is Must Register Sep
tember 18th.

Following are the names of the
registration officers in the western
part of the county, as furnished by
Sheriff McManus, chief registration
officer for Chelan county, with the To-
cation where they can be found on
registration day:
Winton, A. d. Allen, at Winton
store.
Merritt, H. w. Hastings, at resi-
dence.
Cascade Tunnel, j. E. Ausler, at
G. N. Depot.
Lake Wenatchee, Geo. Sivcrly, at
residence.
Plain, W. w. Burgess, at residence
Peshastin, F. A. Wingate, at Win
gates warehouse.
Old Blewett, Mrs. Jack McCarty, at
residence.
Blewett, Blanch Smith, at Blewett
pvovot!.;:" -; 90
Leavenworth, Geo. hauber, a,
city hall.
Tumwater, F. S. Jacobsen, at office.
Chiwaukum, w. w. Thompson, at
residence.
So there may be no room for mis-
taking the meaning of the registration
and draft law we will add that Mr..
McManus states: "All who have pass
ed their 18th birthday Sept. 18th, iJlS
are subject to, and must register. All
who have not passed their 46th birth
day on the 18th day of Sept, are also
subject to registration. To fail TO
register makes the subject liable to
criminal prosecution. Because you
are registered does not in every case
mean that you will be called. The
government wants to know first just
how many are subject to military
duty under the law, and will then de
termine who, and how many, will be
called into the service"

ed recently that their son had won a
commission as second lieutenant in the
A. f. f. He is now at Ft. Zachery
Taylor, near Louisville, Ky. Young
Mr. MsNett enlisted at the same time
and left with Harrison Woodrow, on
April IL, 1917. He decided to join
the cavalry, but was one inch over
height and then went into the heavy
artillery, with which he is now affil-
lated.
His many Leavenworth friends re-
joice at his promotion. He is quite
well known thruout the valley because
of the prominent part he took in high

TO WIN THE WAR CAPITAL AND
LABOR MUST WORK TOGETHER
The Big Business Man is. as Essential
as the Working Man-Each Must
Work Where he Can do Most.
Politics and Business.

What this country needs is better
acquaintance between real politics and
business. Neither fully understands
the motive power behind the other.
Business men generally are not
willing to devote any time to public
affairs but in these times urgent
necessity calls for patriotic services in
that direction. Business men should
cooperate with newspapers in giving
publicity to matters of public interest
and thus help educate the politician
to business needs. Politics and bust
ness should work tcSet.a..cc g fnr the
common good, for the prevention of
waste, encouragement of thrift and
the general promotion of public well
fare.
Big Men.
1t is easy to imagine the uproar
that would have been raised in years
previous to the war if any president
had appointed big business men to
help run the nations affairs. Yet
now the country insits that such men
be put in charge, because of their
capability and experience in handling
big affairs. Old time democracy has
been accused of distrusting compe-
tency and success and there certainly
is a mass of evidence to support such
contention. The war has helped the
nation to overcome that feeling, and
to understand that men who are ac-
customed to handling large affairs are
the best kind to have in authority
when each day brings with it gigantic
new problems.
The jury that convicted the |. W,
w. in Chicago is to be congratulated
such breed as the /. w. w. can either
be put behind the bars for the period
of the war or drafted into military
service. They contribute nothing tH-
ward the winning of the war at best
and in most cases act as a DECIDED
deterrent.

KITS FOR LEAvENwoRTH BOYS

The Social and Welfare committee
of the Leavenworth branch of the
National League for Women's Service
are making comfort kits for the
Leavenworth boys who are called into

1t is the earnest desire of this COM
mittee, that the boys who are called;
report to Mrs. Guy Hamilton at the
postoffice, that they may be supplied
with these kits.
A card party is being planned for
the near future, to raise funds to sup
ply these kits.

Spokane, Wash, Sept 6.-Virtual
conscription of labor will soon be
established in the Inland Empire thru
the governments new community la
Dor boards, now bein organized. These
boards are to be found in the larger

preventative of employers and a gov

as chairman. The community boards
will have sweeping powers, but the

SOME NON-FSSFNTIAl OCCUPA-
TIONS THAT MUST BE CUT OUT
All to the End that We May Have
Enough Man Power Left for
Those that are Essential.

The fact that there is now short
age in war work of 100000 unskilled
laborers and that the reserve of skill
ed workers is exhausted developed to-
day at conference of field agents of
the federal employment service.
The labor shortage is so serious
that completion of a number of i'm
portant war projects for the army and
navy is being delayed, it was stated at
the conference. The field agents de-
cided that the only. way in which the
needed laborers could be secured was
to take them from the non-es Sen;ial
industries.
"The time has come for the entire
nation to realize that business IS
usual is no longer possible" Nathan
A. Smith, assistant director of the en-
ployment service told the conference.
"If we are to end the war quickly the
production of luXuries and non-essent-
ials in this country must come 20 ar
end. II is a question of ending the war
quickly or having it dragged on in
definitely"
Indication of how the noness ltials
may be combed was given toda when
the community labor board of the
District of Columbia announced list
of q classes of work regarded as non
essential.
Following are the industries which
the distric. board, the first to make an
announcement, has listed as non
essentials:
Nonessential List.
Automobile industry accessories,
drivers of pleasure cars, cleaning and
repairing and delivery of same, sight
seeing cars, auto trucks other than
those hauling fuel or doing -ovcln-
ment work, teaming other than de-
livery of products for war work.
Bath and barber shop attendants.
Bowling, billiard and pool looms.
Bottlers and bottle supplies.

ed in erection of structures for war

Agitation to have the present sched-
ule of daylight saving continued thru
the winter months has been started
by the daylight saving committee of
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce.
The argument is made that big saw
ing can be made in heat and light by
keeping the clocks set as they have
been all summer, instead of going
back to the old schedule on September
20, the date set by congress for turn
ing back of timepieces. 1t is assert
ed the most beneficial results will be
had in the schools where the longer
daylight school day will conserve ar
tificial light and be easier on pupils
eyes.
Expressions of opinion have been
solicited by the committee. Most
persons so far interviewed have de-
clared in favor of holding to the
present schedule. 1t is probable that
congress will be memorialized on the
subject.
