vTNHE United States is now building the most power
| full Navy the world has ever seen. But it takes
more than shpsnd planes to patrol our shores, safe
guard our liberty, protect millions of American homes
and families 1t taaes men! Volunteers!
Every new battleship, new cruiser, new destroyer
is just SO much steel and iron until crew OF trained
men-mechanics, electricians, radlomen, sgnalmen,
carpenters and other specialists-goes aboard.
That is why the U. S. Navy may train you to be
an expert in any one of forty five modern trades and
professions You will get regular Navy pay while you
are learning And it is possible for you to be earning
as much as S126O 90 month before your first enlist
ment is completed.
Right now in the Navy young Americans have
double opportunity to their country while build
ing their own security and independence at the same
time.

Bill of Rights is Nations
Green Light, Speaker Says

Monday of this week was the 150th
anniversary of the adoption of the
National Bill of Rights. The Kiwanis
program Tuesday noon, in keeping
with the event, featured a talk by
DR.. r. L. LaMott, pastor of the local
Methodist church, ON that subject.
DR.. LaMott said the Bill of Rights
was Americas Green. Light-the 60
ahead signal in social, moral and
religious life. As long, he said, as
citizens in this country had the
right of choice, the green light
would he set in our favor, but as
soon as we relinquish that right we
should become as are the peoples
in the dictator nations today. The
conflict now raging through the
world was but fight for the re-
tention of that right, he said, and
the Bill of Rights should be our most
cherished possession.

Churches Aid
With Bell Ringing
Mayors Suggestion
gets commentator

Prompt to respond to Mayor A. @.
Amon's proclamation last week CALI
ing for moment Of silent prayer
each morning at ten o'clock were
several of the local churches who
volunteered the use OF their bells
for the signal. Friday morning the
ten O'Clock time was announced by
a peal from the Methodist church
belfry. This week the bells at the
Nazarene church are being used to
signal the hour. Next week the Eng
lish Lutheran church bells will be
used.
The response Of the churches and
their pastors has been very crafty
ing" Mayor Anon said. Some Of
the churches have even Offered TO
permit other churches not equipped
with bells to cooperate by using
theirs. This Is the true American
spirit, I think, and augurs well for
the American Cause. I was very
much surprised at the number OF
favorable comments have received
about the idea, not only from local
people who have spoken to me in
person, but I have also received quite
a few letters Of congratulation--
one from a man In LaGrande, who
stated that the movement should re-
ceive national recognition"

Council Ok's
Liquor License
Bridge View Inn
petitions for permit

The city council voted Tuesda,
night to ask the state liquor boarc
to grant a beer and wine license tx
the Bridge View Inn. The vote wa,
four for with two members not vot-
ing and one member absent,
The license was applied for at the
time the Inn was opened but the
state board claimed that ON account
of the attitude of the council 1t was
not granted. Two or three times
since the proprietors have asked the
council for a further consideration
but the council has taken the atti-
tude that the state board is at
tempting to pass the buck" to the
city officials.
Discussion brought out the fact
that several other applicants were
to be expected and members OF the
council were not in favor of petition
ing for one applicant without equal
consideration for all. So the licens-
ing deal is now squarely and entirely
up to the state board. .....

Jan. 1 Last Date for
'sNew" Spud Allotments

Potato growers are reminded by
Fred Wilson, chairman of the Ben
ton County A. C. a. that January
is the final date for requesting new
potato allotments. All growers who
want to raise potatoes in 1912, who
have not raised them during the
years 1894 should write or come
into the conservation office and
make their request. As stated in
previous publicity, aTlotments for
growers who have been raising po-
tatoes will be set up without request,
although growers are welcome to
come to the office to check up on
their history.
Mr.. Wilson urges that growers give
this matter their careful attention in
view of the pending legislation on
potatoes for 1912.

|Kennewick People
Agree to Care for
Possible EvacueeS
Committee finds hous-
ing for between three
and four hundred

] Kennewick people are certainly
showing willingness to do theil
part in the about conflict this ma
ton is now engaged in, judging from
the response the evacuation COM
mittee is receiving. This commit
tee has just completed a house to
hiuSe canvass of Kennewick resi-
denceS and finds that between three
and four hundred evacuees could be
housed here in case of emergency.
This does not include the sur
rounding territory, where possibly
an equal number could he taken
care of should the occasion become
serious enough. This portion of the
district has not yet been canvassed,
and residents who have or could ar
range Accommodations for evacuees
are asked to notify Mrs. Robert
Brown, so that listing may be Sc
cured. Also anyone who has hos
pital supplies of any sort is asked
to notify Mrs. Brown. IL --.
Because of a lack of military OBJ
jectives in this area, it is thought
that this care of evacueeS will prob
ably he Kennewick's major part in
the war. Should bombings occur on
the coast great influx of people is
expected in the local valley. Housing
and nursing care will then become
major Importance here 1T Is not ex-
pected that bombings will occur this
side Of the mountains, although
every possible precaution must be
taken to guard against the unex-
pected happening.

the Conservation Office, according
to Fred Wilson, chairman of the

Several growers have indicated
their intentions to raise peas, but

MIR. Wilson advises that if there is
any question about securing seed
that they sign the agreement any,
way then if seed cannot he secured
the agreement can be cancelled,
whereas if peas are raised without
