SOY BEANS

SOY BEANS
We thank China for contributin
to our life the soy bean crop. Little
did the grower who, a few years
back, become convinced that soy
beans improve the land, ever expect
to obtain $1.40 a bushel in June,
1914. This crop has almost doubled
it's value in a year and has reached
a high for a four-year period. Soy
beans are becoming big business
with their oil being used in soaps,
sauces, automobile parts and on and
on. The surface of soy bean cul-
ture has only been scratched ac-
cording to our chemists and engin-
GERS. The world is needing oil
right now so our men Of grain are
increasing production of the soy
bean. The June market quotation
from Chicago shows that this bean
crop was 40 cents higher than wheat,
IS cents higher than corn and more
than a dollar above oats. SO our
farmers increase their acreage and
their bank accounts.

Kennewick can we'll feel proud of
The celebration. Every feature was
the best ever put on and the boat
races proved a welcome diversion
and one which will p robably grow
in Importance. To stage such show
requires weeks of preparation and
the townspeople certainly respond
ed in fine shape this year. It re-
quires surprisingly large number Of
people to handle a show as big as
the Kennewick celebration has
grown to he, and some exceptional
ly fine organization arrangements
TO coordinate such work The show
as we said, was well handled this
year, which accounts for its UNI
usually high quality. Next year, with
the Fourth coming on Saturday, it Is
likely the show can be condensed
into a two-day affair, and still pack
'em in. Rodeo officials and every
body who had a part in the stag
ing of the celebration deserve much
credit. r.l >.'

SAVE ALUMINIUM

A recent ad in an exchange news
paper, showing a lineup of alum
mum pots, pans, skillets and ket-
ties, brought up picture of this
metal in terms of airplanes. Our
housewives are putting off buying
aluminium articles for they under
stand their government needs the
product. Many of us in Kennewick
are trying, as consumers, to get our
selves in a metal frame of mind to
face a bit of doing without if the
need should arise, so that the shoe
might pinch. AS Americans we are
reputed to eat. dress and live bet
ter than any other nation of peo-
pie SO you may figure that it
would be harder for us to have to
face rationing. If electric power
was shut off could we take to oil
lamps and woodworking stoves,
gracefully? How about going with
out electric shavers and no street
lights? English people did it and
with a cherrio and stout fellow! So
if we have to go without new
aluminium kettle for awhile we will
grin and be mighty glad we have
something to put in the pot what
ever its composition!

BACK THE U. S. 0.

Most of our Kennewick readers are
aware of the United Service Organ
ization campaign which is working
in the interest of providing recrea-
tional services for our armed forces
and also for defense workers. Where
there are military training centers
there arises the need of providing
decent entertainment for the young
men in these centers. There has
always been the problem of supply
ing whosesome recreation to the SOL
dier at such times as this. The
past history of army life has shown
the American people that there is
need for morale in order that the
spirit and the brain of the soldier
will wisely cooperate. 1t is up to us
as citizens to give relaxation and
supply morale to the soldier, it is our
obligation to him. One of the
plans of the u. IS. o. is to find suit
able spots that would make salts
factory camping grounds, offering
swimming, tennis, golf and fishing.
Such recreational centers would be
available for soldiers who care to
take advantage of this social activ-
ity and for small sum of money
could pay for food and lodging dur
ing the time they may have off
duty. The U. S. 0. is sponsored
and furthered by people who ap-
preciate the value of morale to arm
ament and to bodily fitness. Back
them up.

OTHER NEWS


AS an avid reader of the nations
newspapers you may feel that moth
ing else is going on in the world but
war and more war. There seems to
be no room for any other sort of
news, the columns crowded with
activities of belligerent countries,
and of our own defense plans. There
appears to be little else of any con-
sequence, but don't fool yourself,
there are things occurring all the
time that are of vital interest to us
and are taking place right here in
Kennewick. Babies are being born,
young people are getting married,
death still takes a call, visitors come,
our own folks go. We try to give you
all of this personal sort of news as
well as home politics and local
conditions. We still plug for To-
cal entertainments and civic meet
ings. There aren't any readers but
who are anxious to get this type Of
news, interesting to our subscribers
in town and those on the mailing
list.

GET YOURS NOW!

Citizens of Kennewick are advised
to take advantage of the present op-
portunity to buy coal and get it into
their supply bins now, which pro-
duction can be handled in advance
Of the urgent need later on when
cold weather hits us. The co1lsum-
er can get his today and be prepar-
ed for a possible shortage during
the winter time when the nations
requirements will be so heavy. With
the long strike in the coal fields re-
Gently and our increase in coal con-
sumption due to industrial activity
we can understand that this sum-
mer should not he the usual slack
season for the coal dealer. If you
have room for storage and if your
dealer can offer you a reasonable
summer discount, buy your next win
ter's supply now. It is one bit of
boarding that won't be objected to
by your government.

is that the rates be such that no

things among the least important on the
car but they give him an idea of the cars real
mileage, rather than the speedometer which
can be adjusted to any lie. Under the tenders he
peers and if one of them is new it suggests an
accident and makes him alert for other clues.
If the rear seats show unusual wear, he
gives the body hard look for spots where
signs and lights may once have been and
pecks off bit of the new paint. Should he
find the kind of paint underneath usually used
taxis, he walks out. 1t is all he needs to
know. Should the car stand a preliminary
once-over he takes it for good long demon
stration. 1t runs sweetly without any knocks
But why does he stop and smell of the gas
tank? 1t might contain ether, which prevents
knocks but burns the cylinders out. While
the car is stopped. he rubs off smear of
grease because this is an old trick for hiding
the seam where a cracked engine has been
welded.
Speeding the car up to 45 miles an hour
he takes his foot from the accellerator, then
jams it down again and looks backward.
What's the idea? Well, if the piston rings
are worn, there will be cloud of blue smoke
Also he examines the OIL If this is extra
heavy, it is another indication of the same
weakness
OF course he examines lights, horn, bat
terry, hose, radiator, gaskets brakes springs

well. If there is neither wobble nor kckback
In the steering wheel your mechanic friend
may not be content until he has examined the

Most organizations interested in the safety
of the automobile traffic recommend COM
pulsory periodical inspection of all cars the
road either by the state or private garages.
Several States have already introduced this
system resulting in the reduction of accidents
caused by mechanical defects Connecticut,
for instance, introduced semi-annual inspec-
ton tests After the law was enforced the
cident death rate dropped from 4s5 10 $50 in
a year. New Jersey had similar results.
If such tests were made nationwide and
automobile dealers held legally responsible for
selling defective cars. the expectation Of life
for motorists and pedestrians would be con-
siderably increased.

tempting to cross the road, decided TO STAND
in the middle and let the two vehicles pass on
each side It should have been the prudent
thing TO do.
There was plenty Of room and the truck
turned out a little But when. the driver of the
other car tried TO do the same on his side,
he was startled to find the wheel had sud
denly become rigid Worse than that he re-
allied too late to stop the car in time that he
was vccring into the truck The pedestrian
was crushed to death between them. II seemed
such an ineXcusable accident TO the police that
they arrested both drivers and charged them
with mansaughter Thus three men suffered
because someone had "prettified' a ialopy

According 10 the Travellers Insurance
Company. of Hartford, $500 persons were
killed and 4s,500 injured by such sudden
failures of vital parts of cars, during 1910.
Nobody on the streets or even sidewalks is
exempt from the menace of these cars that
may go mad without warning.
The used car business is big business. It's
volume in these careless United States is
about a billion and a half dollars year In
single. recent year, 6157 900 used passenger
cars were sold, or III old ones for every 100
new And the market is on the increase be-
cause of the defense program
Fortunately most of these cars are hon
estly sold and either in safe driving condition
or the purchaser is warned of the defects and
can make the required repairs himself. Still
more fortunately for the public's life and

down in less dangerous parts first
