If suffering is to be avoided among the
unemployed in our community the employed
must come to their relief. That there will be
an increased need for help over former years
there is no doubt That it will be more diff
ficult to raise funds is equally apparent. The
Kennewick Chamber of Commerce. through
its relief committee, appeals to those who are
fortunate enough to be regularly employed
to come to the aid of those unfortunate, who
through no fault of theirs, are unable to earn
enough to tide them over the winter, by con-
tributing an amount equal to one days wage
to the relief fund. Everyone owes duty of
Importance to his unfortunate fellowmen. We
confidently expect that our people will
rise to the occasion and promptly mail their
checks to the committee and avoid the nee
essity of personal solicitation. Do your part
and do it now. Make your check payable to
the Relief Committee and mail to the Com
munity Chest.

WILL ARMISTICE DAY EVER
MEAN ANYTHING?


Today we think not of waving flags and
marching armies returning from victory. We
think of the dead.
The charred bones of aviators who plung-
ed horribly to earth in flaming collins; the
swollen bodies of seamen that float in wa
terrified submarines which lie on the ocean
floor; the stiff, stark bodies of infantrymen
which lay grotesquely about in the m u d,
with the odor of decomposition and trench
filth filling the air-the sort of filth that
must remained undescribed in newspaper.
Today the mothers of those horrible bodies
think of the day when they left home smil-
ing and confident, and misled by propaganda.
Their government their great and noble
government lied to them to inspire
them to kill
But those boys did not go to their death
