A local woman started to

A local woman started to a
neighboring town the other day In
the old family car. On the way the
left rear tire developed flat. She
waited and waited, but no one else
seemed travelling that morning, at
least not on that road. Finally in
desperation she dragged out the
tools and set about changing the
tire. The bolts were rusty and hard
to turn and the car slipped off the
jack twice. She was on the verge
of giving up in despair and missing
her appointment when her husband
appeared on the scene with neigh
Dor on their way to see a party in
that neighborhood. The tire soon
was changed and the lady was on
her way. "I'll tell you," she said to a
friend in speaking of the incident
afterwards, "a husband is worth
all he costs just to have around at
a time like that"

Under the Neutrality Act, recent

ernments must take title to all
shipments Of munitions before they
leave American shores. The goods
must be transported in foreign ships.
In addition the President has des-

which ships flying the United State
flag will not be permitted to sail.
the temper Of the people shows a
change. A few years back and our
right to sail the high seas anytime
and anywhere would have been a
matter in which we would admit Of
no compromise. Today we are willing
to yield some Of the things that we
once thought were our right to keep
out of war. Without doubt this Is
the sensible thing to do. It Is along
these lines perhaps that war may
be largely avoided in to future.

It costs from five to sixteen
times as much to send boy or girl
to college as it did sixty years ago.
Sixty years ago board and room
could be secured at state colleges
for two dollars a week. There were
few extras. The average husky boy
or girl could earn enough during the
summer to put him through term
of college during the winter. Many
students got through state colleges
in the middle west for as little as
$50 year including tuition, board
and clothes. The cost today in the
same schools runs from $3.50 to $500.

As long as the democratic system
of government endures and the peo-
pie choose their rulers the people
are the ones who are responsible
for the kind of government they
have. There is no escaping the re-
sponsibility or passing the buck. On
der the democratic form Of govern
ment the people of any city or state
have exactly the kind of govern
ment the majority of the people Of
that city or state want.

DAPPER AND DANGEROUS

With the many new autos flash
ing by in fashion, and more to
come, we think Of them as grandeur
on large scale and hope to have
something as shining in our own
garage by and by. Seldom do we
look at each car as it rolls along
and think in terms of how many &C
cidents will that car cause, how
many people will that driver hit,
how often will children Craze that
fender, where will wrecking crew
pick up that chassis. Doleful and
pessimistic the thought, but such
magnificence one sees and such de-
struction one refuses to see. The
emergencies that arise in our land Of
floods and winds, droughts and fire,
hunger and strikes, we heed and
try to overcome. We are successful
in most cases, by perseverance and
cooperation. Why can't we do as
much for our traffic toll through
these same means. How CLEANS the
paint, how pleasing the upholstery,
how powerful the motor, and how
sorrowful the loss in lives and In
injuries. With the change in gear
shifts, in lighting, in dashboards,
there is no change in the human
nature of the hands on the steer
ing wheel. A delightful paint job,
makes no home happier when it has
his beloved member. Because in
surance rides along doesn't mean
that a child in Kennewick will re-
turn to his teacher each day. A
new model needs renewed morals
for traffic driving.

The supporters of the "Ham and

circulating plan for the recall Of
Governor Olson because of his OPP

The fact that Netherlands and
Belgium feel that Germany will at
tempt to cut across their borders in
an effort to invade France indicates
that Hitler has small hopes Of
breaking through the French Magi-
not line. Under no other circum-
stances would he incur the enmity
and opposition of the small neutral
countries and the further condem-
nation Of the world.

Walter Pippel Matanuska farmer who made the most surprising suc- cess of all the colonists who have come to the debated soils of Pal mer, passed southbound through Juneau today with his family on the steamer Baranof.
 It was Pippel who carried on a one-man battle against what he felt was suppression of indepen- dence at Palmer He found his own markets and he built them up He was told to join the colony cooperative selling group, and de clined, went to court, and as re- suit sold his share in Matanuska back to the Government.
 But he is not poisoned on the North. He is coming back-"defn- itely"-to locate at either Fair banks or Anchorage.
 Asked if he would be back in the spring, Pippel was quick with the answer, Sooner than that we hope"
 Pippel says Alaskan farmers for the present will have to be con tent with vegetable produce fol cash crops and that dairying, egg raising and grain raising will not pay.

KitIer's Chief Deputy in Vienna Makes Ver-
 bal Attacks

VIENNA, Aug. 26. - Chancellor Hitler's chief deputy in the Nazi Party. Rudolf Hess, has hurled de- fiance at France and Britain, de- claring that Germany could not be stopped by threats.
 Hess made his speech before a meeting of the organization for Germans living abroad.
 The alleged mistreatment of the German minority in Poland was the theme of his speech.
 Hess blamed the Poles for not ac- cepting what he described as Hit ler's generous offer regarding Dan- zig and the Polish corridor. The Nazi's deputy repeated the German charge that Poland had rejected Hitler's offer because of the back ing of Great Britain and France.
 The Nazi Cabinet Minister at tackled Prime Minister Chamberlain for casting doubt on the German charges that their nationals had
 
 been mistreated in Poland. He ln- vited Chamberlain to visit the re- fugee camps on the German side of the border to see for himself that the Germans had been victims of Polish terrorism.
 Hess decalred that Chancellor Hit Ter had prepared Germany for every possibility, including war.
 The party deputy declared that Great Britain and France could hurl millions of men against the German Qualifications without being able to penetrate their lines. He added that Hitler also had guaranteed Ger many against being starved into submission by a blockade.
