POSTOFFICE SERVICE
OFFERS SAVING PLAN
TO ITS PATRONS

In commenting on the activities
of National Thrift Week which be-
gan January with Thrift Day."
Postmaster Sonners points put that
1t is particularly fitting hat the
postal service should play an i'm
portant part in these activities and
pay tribute to the first and fore
most advocate of thrift-Benjamin
Franklin.
Although the first postmaster gen.
eral and renowned as n philosopher,
patriot. diplomat, inventor and scien-
fist. his name will no doubt live
longest by the impression he has
made as an advocate of thrift. Many
of his writings on thrift have be-
come classics and will be remem-
hered as long as our language is
read. One of his famous sayings
"Never forget to have a penny when
all thy expenses are enumerated and
paid"-appears on the leaflet which
the post office department is putting
into every home today. Postmaster
General New in an address deliv-
cred at a 1924 thrift week meet
ing in Washington. said that if you
add to this expression that other
one of Franklin's-"Incur no ex-
penses, except hat which does good
to others or thyself you will
have said all there is to say on the
subject of thrift.
Postmaster Sonners also would
have the patrons of his office more
clearly understand the purpose ami
functions of the Postal Savings sys-
tenn, the agency of the government
by which thrift is promoted. Cor
trary to the conception of many,
postal savings is not a bank. While
it is a savings institution in the
proper sense of the term, it's sim
ilarity to a bank ends at that point.
The deposits received from indivi-
duals are Immediately turned over
to local banks after bonds to secure
such deposits are received from the
banks as collateral.
The policy of postal savings also
differs from hat of savings banks
and other institutions. His pur-
chase of a 10-cent savings stamp
or his deposit of a single dollar is
received as kindly and given as
courteous attention as the transac-
lions of the holder of a million
dollar account at any bank. And,
again, postal savings does not look
with disfavor upon such of it's de-
positors who, having accumulated a
tidy sum-. make Withdrawals for the
purchase of sound investments, a
home or business. 1t is an educa-
tional service and if the people can
be brought to realize the Importance
of saving, a real service will have
been rendered and a definite pur-
pose accomplished.
While the %redeposit of postal
savings funds in local banks insures
to the benefit of the community
by restoring to active use in the
channels of trade funds which might
otherwise have remained in hiding
in the trunks, under mattresses,
ETC., and while financial profits ac-
crues to the government by reason
of the operation of the service, the
real value of this service cannot be
measured in dollars and cents. 1t is
a potent force for good in any COM
munity and plays an important part
in the upbuilding of our country
today.

The new road map being put out
by the Commercial club is assured of
distribution. President d. G. Rodgers
and committee from the Pasco or

of several of the northern towns are
putting up huge sign on the road
where it branches from the Sunset
Highway.
Garages and hotels in the various
towns along the line have signified
their willingness to help get the maps
in the hands of the tourists, and the
engineer in charge of operations in
Yellowstone National Park has agreed
to see that the maps get circulation
among tourists leaving the park
headed west.
Arrangements have been made by
the roads and tourists committee
from the local club for the distri-
button on the highways west and
south of Kennewicll. and some more
intensive work will be done through
Montana, as soon as the roads open
up.

support to enable, extensive repairs
to be made to the ball diamond.
They wish to extend their public
thanks to those who so willingly con-
tributed. The financial requirements
OF the league will be much smaller
this year than in previous years as
none of the players in the league
will be paid. The first game of the

WATER COMING
DOWN DITCH
Work Of Filling the Canals
is Started This Week
Cost is Less

The time has rolled around again
for the opening of the irrigation sea-
son. Water has been started in at
the headgates Of the Columbia Dis
trict canal and is being brought down
carefully by gradual stages.
In order to guard as far as pos
sible against the danger of breaks,
the methods used in priming the can
ais have been carefully worked out.
The first head of water is passed
down from one wastegate to the next
during daylight hours, being follow
ed and watched at all times by the
operating crew so that trash-jams
are prevented and any trouble that
may arise from any cause is caught
before serious damage is done. All
raises, in bringing the canals to full
head, are made so that they are fol-
lowed down at all times by the pa
troll men and double inspection is
had in case the raise reaches a GO
pher hole or other weak spot. Even
these painstaking and laborous me-
thods cannot absolutely insure
against trouble, but they have given
results over the past four seasons
that fully justify the work. Present
indications are that the water will
be in Kennewick Monday, the 23rd,
going down lateral to Hover on Tues
day.
The work of between-season main
tenance has been favored generally
by good working weather. II has been
felt that expenses should be pared
to the limit and little work except
absolutely necessary maintenance has
been done. Expenditures since last
October are some $4,000 less than for
similar period last year. Repairs
on the main canal near the headgates
due to ice jams in the Yakima river,
cost $110.
The only notable Improvement car
ried out was in gravel lining "a part
of the main lateral between Kenne-
wick and Finley. About 1k miles
were treated, at the cost of $500,
which will reduce seepage and save
materially on cleaning costs hereaf-
ter. Water will be available in all
parts of the gravity system by the
middle of next week, except probably
at certain high headings where we
have no checks. Since full head
cannot be put in until the users are
ready to take it out, there may be a
few users with extra high lands who
will have to be patient a few days
until the head can be built up to
reach their weirs.

Since the thermometer is one of
the most essential and important
parts of the growers heating equip
ment, says A. w. Cook, the local
weather forecaster, in charge Of the
frost warning work, it is a matter
of great Importance that the degree
of accuracy of each thermometer be
known. There is only one way to
determine this inaccuracy, if it ex-
lists comparison with tested,
standard thermometer at the temp
erature the thermometer is to be
used. Due to Inconsistencies in man.
ufature. chiefly non-uniform bore, it
is very difficult to get thermo-
meter that is correct at all tempera-
lures. A thermometer may read
within fraction of degree of the
correct reading at one temperature
while at. another it may vary as much
as degree. All Thermometers should
be tested at the beginning of each
season. In testing thermometers
they are immersed in concentrated
solution of salt, Clipped ice and wa
ter with tested, standard thermo-
meter. The temperature of this So
luton is from "a to % degrees, de-
pending upon the concentration.
Readings of the thermometer to be
tested are taken in comparison with
the reading of the standard and any
noted. This test gives
the variation at the temperature
where the thermometer is most likely
to be used.
Growers may have their instru-
nents tested if they get them in to
the Commercial club rooms or at the
Big Y warehouse by Monday noon.
No charge will be made for the SER
