HOW YOU CAN HELP

There has never been a newspa-
per printed that satisfied every
body. But there is a very simple
method by which better newspapers
can be produced and that is for
those who subscribe to them to take
an individual interest in seeing that
they get more local and personal
news. Not that you are expected to
become a reporter when you be-
come a subscriber, but because the
newspaper stands as the exponent
of all that is good for your COM
munity and because civic pride
should, therefore, lead you to en-
courage such an institution. If you
have visitors, if you have been on a
visit or if you are going on one your
neighbors are sure to be interested
in knowing about it. Tell them thru
your hometown paper. Every little
item of a local or personal nature
helps just that much to make a still
better newspaper and getting it to
the editor requires very little ex-
ertion on your part. That is how you
can help make your newspaper still
more interesting, and you are in
vited to start doing so at once.

HIGHWAY VANDALISM

There probably isn't community
in the land entirely free of that
type of boy or man who delights in
destroying something belonging to
others. That Kennewick and sur
rounding territory has its share of
such individuals is evidenced now
and then when it becomes necessary
to replace highway warning and di-
rection signs that have been mutt
lated or destroyed. Just what sat-
isfaction comes from such destruc-
ton is difficult to understand, nor
is it easy to understand why some
people seem to enjoy tearing up
the very things that common sense
should teach them are intended to
save human life and prevent acct
dents. Trying to find the reason
for such destruction is waste of
time. What is needed is a few ar
rests and convictions for the malic-
ious destruction of property. That
is the only kind of example that will
put an end to such despicable prac-
tees. So. b.. .s-a.

FARM-MADE FUEL

Science has again put farm prod
ucts to work and ere the summer
has come and gone Kennewick car
owners need not be surprised if they
are introduced to a new auto fuel.
One made by distilling alcohol from
farm crops and blending it with
gasoline at the rate OF 10 percent
of alcohol to 80 percent of gasoline
is now being successfully used in
several western states. It is said to
be more satisfactory than gasoline
in that it Is more powerful and the
price is about the same. But the big
thing In connection with the dis
covery is the part it promises to
play in preventing over-production
of farm products. Then too, If
farm-made alcohol proves valuable
as a motor fuel it is certain to be
utilized for many other purposes.
Eventually it may solve q lot of the
problems with which the grain
growers of this country have
wrestled for years.

THE 18th COMMANDMENT

In the hill section of Kentucky
they have what they Familiarity call
''the Eleventh Commandment" and
when you explain that you never
heard of but ten. and ask what the
eleventh one is, they will answer
that the Eleventh Commandment is
mind Your Own Business"
AS the average Kennewick man
sees it, now is good time for the
u. S. government to inaugurate a
strict observance of the Eleventh
Commandment" All indications
point to an early war in the Old
World. Where it will start, when it
will start and what will actually
start it, no man knows. But the
leading diplomats of half-dozen
nations are agreed that it is bound
to come. This country may not be
able. to stay out of it, but it can at
least make every possible effort to
do so. It can try harder to stay
out than it did the last time, and it
ought to be starting right now. The
president has been given power to
prevent the shipment of arms, am
munition and airplanes and no mat
ter whose factories are hit and
whose pocketbooks suffer, this
power should be used to the fullest
and not a airplane, not a dimes
worth of powder, not single wea-
pom should be permitted to leave
the shores of the u. S. until the
Old World lays aside its hates and
returns to the peace it enjoyed be-
fore little handful of men started
in to grab off all the territory they
can get their hands on. II
mind Your Own Business" is a
sensible commandment for individ-
uals to follow but a still better one
for nations to adhere to SO that the
lives OF those individuals may be
saved. -" &fs14aa= .t-:@-1 ~s,s-,". -.E
