ON NRA PLAN
Placards on Display in Many
Lines; Special Codes Are
Being Rushed Thru as Bus
mess Shows Recovery

Most of the business institutions
and employers in this community
have turned in their signatures to
President Roosevelt's blanket code.
Placards bearing the new hawk,
or eagle, have been given out and
are now on display in the various
institutions.
Some trades which have already
been included in special codes,
have not yet received their insig-
MIA. The cotton goods code has been
received, the retailers code is OPP
erative and several others are
about to become law. The millers'
code is already in effect.
AS in all the smaller towns, GER
tain institutions can sign up the
agreement without any change
whatever in their setup. For in
stance where a couple of partners
are operating with no extra help,
they become entitled to display the
MIRA sign when they return their
agreements. No limitation of hours
or pay affects such a case. In the
towns of under $500 population
only those employers who have
three or more persons on the pay
roll are affected.
The blanket agreement has had
the effect everywhere of forcing
the different industries to submit
their own codes, for the limita-
tions set in the blanket agreement
have proven too severe for many
of them to operate under. Under
the special codes reasonable allow
ances have been made to suit the
occasion.
Shortly following the adoption
Of majority of codes an intensive
drive will be conducted. A special
committee is to be organized in
each community with minute men
to deliver speeches, prepare pub
1ictly, show movie shorts and en-
deaver to get the public to sign
the trade agreements. Representa-
tives from the several organaiza-
tions in each community will make
up the committee. The Kiwanis
club and chamber of commerce
have received their notices to make
the selection of their committee
men which will be formed in the
near future.
Each of the present signers of
the blanket agreement have also
received the signature cards which
they are supposed to ask their GUS
toners to sign. The nationwide
drive is to begin as soon as the
major industries have been assign
ed definite codes. The organiza-
ton will be built around the pa
triotic motif and the drives will
be similar to those conducted dur
ing the ware

PROVIDES JOBS

Twenty or More Put on Reg
ular Payrolls Locally as
Employees Join in Nation
wide Depression Battle

The federal governments recov-
cry act has resulted in the crea-
ton of about twenty new jobs in
this immediate area, survey this
morning indicated. This result is
in addition to several increases in
the pay checks for local workers
who have been employed steadily
in the past. As the full effects OF
the act come into bearing other
positions will develop, it was in
Dictated.
The local mill is being hit the
hardest blow, with the power COM
pany coming in second. At the
mill six men have already been
put on and another will likely be
employed, Mr.. Shoemaker stated.
This extra work is provided even
tho the shortened operating time
is in effect. The mill will operate
but six days a week instead of
continuously as heretofore.
The power company, whose code
is shortly to be adopted, will also
be compelled to add extra men TO
the lists in order to comply with
the shortened hours. In the local
retail establishments one new job
has been created at the Kennewick
market, with the other stores pre-
pairing to add to their forces.
As a result of the presidents
demand for shortened working
hours for employees, new sched-
ule of opening and closing hours
has been adopted by the local bus
mess houses. For the most part re-
tail establishment will open at
$3.50 in the morning and close at
500 on week days, with six-thirty
on Saturdays. The stores comply
ing with this time have an an
on another page Of
this issue. The public is being
asked to help observe the closing
hours.
To further impress it upon the
public the mayor has agreed to
have the siren blown at the clos
ing hour. This will give notice that
the stores must refuse further adj
mission, tho exceptions will be
made in cases of real emergency.
as the curfew at nine
o'clock has been most largely OBJ
served by indifference, this alarm
will no longer be sounded.

Americas Freedom

Independence Day is just another holiday, nowadays = day on which we go on pienics. or get the car out for long drive into the country, or trot off to see ball game, or hop on an excursion train for hstie trip to the city. Children set off firecrackers and grown-ups take advantage of an extra days ideness. Everybody enjoys the holiday - and hardly any of us stop to remember just what it's all about. or think just what we're celebrating. And that very fact is, perhaps, as good an omen as the most patriotic hero of '76 could have wished for his descendants.
 Years ago. when grandfather was a boy. they took their Fourth of July celebrations seriously. The winning of American free dom seemed very real and very recent. then. The country was still relatively small. as nations go. Europeans were still inclined to look down their noses when anyone men, tioned the United States of America. In sheer self-defense Americans had to get to- gether once year, let the eagle scream and retell the splendid old stories of the Revolu ficn. But lot of water has run under the bridge since then. Our nation has grown Up. and no one denies its right to stand among the leaders. And because of that fact we don't. need to celebrate our national birthday as exuberantly as We used to.
 We can take our independence, our great ness our freedom, for granted, in other words. We're used to them. We know they are things which no one can take away from us We don't have to make lot sof noise and burn lot of red fire once every year to remind ourselves of their exist ence. So we celebrate the Fourth in 9 differ ent, queer way. All over the land today fhere are happy, earefree people taking holiday in honor of their nations birth - 3 aud forgetting many of them, just what it is that they are celebrating. In that very forgetfulness is the most solid of all proofs that the nations birthday is great occasion
 It bespeaks safety, security and freedom.

No Apologies Needed

Cabled dispatches from Europe indicate
 that the people overseas are beginning once
 more to shake their heads sadly over Uncle
 Sam's misguided and deluded refusal to save
 the world from disaster. For long time
 it was Uncle Sans refusal to cancel the war
 debts that convicted him of selfishness,
 blindness and obstinacy. Then 1t was his . action in raising his tariff rates; more re-
 gently it was his decision to go off the gold
 standard. Now it seems he is wrecking
 civilization by his stand at the London conference. He won't stabilize his currency, { he won't agree to sudden horizontal tariff slash. As result he is once more the target { for the pitying scorn of the super-civilized altruists across the Atlantic.
 The only way in which all of this critl- cism can do any harm is that some Americans may begin to take it seriously. What we must realize is that we need no apologies Tn
 the least for our countrys course at London. Our government is looking out first and R foremost for the interests of its own citizens
 and it is doing it in what seems to be 2 hard-boiled and effective manner. In that there is certainly nothing to be ashamed of. aWe are remaining OH tne Soiu oldHudlu uH ' til we can get back on in our own way and ' at our own terms? Surely, and so is Eng
 land. whence good part of this sorrowful < head shaking originates
 We are guilty of the crime of debasing
 the value of our currency? Well France < did precisely the same thing about decade s ago, cutting the value of the franc to one- 7 fourth of its old worth. Isn't 1t odd that the French should be SO indignant at us ! now? We are going slowly in the matter ' of reducing our tariffs? Sure. just as Eng < land has abandoned free trade for protection { and has arranged preferential understandings
 with other nations just as France is do-
 ing. just as practically every other nation z on the globe is doing.
 The truth seems to be that our delegates have simply adopted a hard-boiled and real- { istie attitude at London. They don't care {. to have Uncle Sam holding the bag when sl the conference ends If this arouses Europe s ! indignation. well, it's just too bad.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 TOxemia

doctor claims most diseases are due to toxema of the blood co. H. O.
 Answer--A quack you mean. An educated physician would no more speak of "toxemia of the blood" than he would of "pneumonia of the lungs" Toxemia means toxin (not ordin- ary poison) in the blood For instance in diph- theria the patient suffers from diptheria toxin in the blood. The quack line about "eliminat- ing toxins is just bait to catch wiseacre cus- toners.
 Business Hint
 I read in the Twentieth Century Business Encyclopedia that spirit of hartsthOrn is . cer- tain remedy for the bite of mad dog. (Mrs F. \. E.)
 Answer--In return beg to suggest that if you ever find business getting away from you Q sprinkle of iodized salt It's tail will bring 1t back again.

But bananas at cents a pound are pretty expensive for man on an income of $40 a month. However, I ann happy to report that the constipation habit has gone. (R. I.)
