of friends through their alert, friendly
service. More and more motorists are

fact that Sherwood BETHoL1NE-RIcH-
FIELD Dealers are independent, local

so many say: You'll enjoy doing bust

SWEET AND MELLOW

Comes September with the pass
ing of summers drought and heat, to
filter sunshine softly and hint of
colorful foliage to satisfy the artist
in all of U.s. In. our minds eye we
picture the glory of changing leaves
and revel in the present panorama
of bright marigolds and brilliant
zinnias, colored asters in softer
tones to blend with the petunia
which survives the storm and be it
plain, single bloom or ruffled, double
variety, proves its petunia sturdiness.
From close at hand sounds the
cricket who on the hearth may be
good luck but when tempted with
wool becomes moth-like and devas-
tating. The locust adds his tone to
the scene and bright clunnp of
phlox fails to receive appreciation as
the eve lights on patch of ripe to-
matoes that vie in color with it's
phIoX neighbor. Hangs heavy the
apple or it's snuggles in the grass to
await the disposal of an individual
with yen for sauce. September hail,
the month of closed summer cot
tages, cooler nights, vacation bills,
grapes, school books and shorter
days.

BUYING FARM LAND

At the fastest rate in the last ten
years, farm land is being purcrased
through the land. This buying is
being done by city and farm folks
who are afraid of initiation and be-
cause of the improved agricultural
prices which will try to be maintain
ed even in case of a dire emergency.
The notice from several large insur-
ance companies that have rural hold
'ings in 10 to 20 states, give Kenne-
wick readers the information. There
are a large number of former ten
ants and renters who have purchased
farms that they have been working.
There is that satisfaction which
comes with producing a living on
ones own property. They speak Of
this in the same breath with secur-
ity. The back-to- the-1and movement
has been increasing these past years,
but from recent figures it has be-
come rush and something to make
of us stronger force in the econom-
ic pattern.

BLOOD ON HAND

The latest in medical news for the
protection of soldiers, comes in the
fact that the time may not be far
Off when the boys will carry their
own blood, made into a dried pro-
duct and tucked into a vial, with
them at all times. Since Europe has
shown us the loss due to deaths from
loss of blood and transfuSionS impos-
Silole to obtain in the moment of
need, we are interested in this dry
ing of serum which is separated
from the blood cells and forming a
powder which is easily dissolved in
sterile water and as satisfactory as
the regulation TRANSMISSION. Forum
ately this form of blood does not de-
teriorate, need not be, kept in a re-
frigerator and holds it's effect in all
kinds of climates. So we go a step
further in the direction called prog
resS in science" and considering the
purpose ad reason for the need it re-
calls to mind the story of why gun
powder was invented and how the
innocent firecracker has grown be-
yond control.

We note by reading the list of mar
riage licenses issued in city dailies
that good many young women are
marrying men from ten to twenty
years older than themselves. Some
one has figured it out that in many
cases young men do not have the
earning capacity the women deem
necessary and can find only in men
from ten to twenty years their SEN
ior. Another answer is the younger
men are away in draining camps.

The fact that but a few years ago
we had country free from debt and
with unbounded natural resources
and that We will pass on to our
children the same country with de-
pleted natural resources and an I'M
bounded debt, suggests that in fair
ness we should be taxed to the limit
by the Federal Government for the
present preparedness program. To
meet this emergency, the budgets Of
all local governments should be cut
to absolute essentials and local tax
payer groups and other patriotic
citizens should see that it is done.

It is difficult to believe that a
shortage of anything exists in the
United States. Within the last few
years the problem has seemed to he
that surplus in about everything
existed. In many lines the problem
was one of finding a market. No
one would have dreamed then that in
a few years the same things would
be prorated and doled out to users
sparingly. It is being predicted that
these shortages will prevail for at
least two years.
