Hon. Edward J. Flynn Chairman,
Democratic National Committee,
Jefferson Hotel.
st. Louis, Missouri
Republicans as all other good
Americans stand ready to con-
tribute in every way their talents
and their abilities for the defense
Of our country. The Republican
organization as we'll as individuals.
| am sure, will gladly answer any
call to national service which may
be requested by the President.
Many are already performing such
services here in Washington as
we'll as in their local communities.
AS heretofore, Republicans will
not permit politics to enter into
national defense. Our danger is
common and we all stand together
to bring victory to the common
cause. Personal regards.
Joseph w Martin, Jr,
President Roosevelt accepted the
joint Democratic Republican offer
of rganizational facilities of the
two great political parties for co,
ordinated non partisan war eff
fort. The President sent identical
kilograms to both party leaders
thanking them for their "patriotic
action" and suggested that the
two national party organizations
can function to the best advantage
in the field of civilian defense"

Party Leaders Agree Not to Let
Rivalry Impede Drive for Victory

The Democratic and Republican
parties formally laid aside their
political differences for the dura-
ton of the war in an exchange of
kilograms made public between
Edward J. Flynn, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee,
and Representative Joseph w.
Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts,
Chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
The two national political organi-
cations are going to function-joint
ly and severally-as defense ele-
ments, it was announced at Demo
cratic National Committee head
quarters.
Mr.. Flynn suggested that the
combined agencies" of the two
parties be made available to the
government for carrying out de-
fense preparations and Represen-
tative Martin replied that the Re-
publican organization would glad
ly answer any call to national ser
vice. and would not permit politics
to enter national defense.

kilograms between the two party

And seek to take each others life.
The North shall thus divide the
South
The eagle build in the lions mouth.
Then tax, and blood, and cruel
war
Shall come to every humble door.
Three times shall sunny, lovely
France,
Be led to play bloody dance;
Before the people shall be free
Three tyrant rulers she shall see;
Three rulers in succession be
Each sprung from different dynas-
ty.
Then, when the fiercest fight is
done
England and France shall be as
one.
The British olive next shall twine
In marriage with the German vine
Men walk beneath and over streams
Fulfilled shall be our strangest
dreams.
All England's sons shall plough
the land
Shall oft be seen with book in
hand.
The poor shall now most wisdom
know,
And water wind where corn doth
grow.
Great houses stand in far flung
vale
All covered DER with snow and
hail.
And now a word in uncouth rhyme,
OF what shall be in future time.
For in those wondrOus far off days
The women shall accept a craze
To dress like men, and trousers
wear,
To cut off all their locks Of hair.
They'll ride astride with brazen
brow,
AS witches do on broomsticks now.
The love shall die and marriage
cease
And nations wane as babes de-
crease;
And wives shall tondle cats and
And men live much the same as
hogs.
In Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Six
Build house light of straw and
brick;
For them shall mighty wars be
planned
And fire and sword shall sweep
the land.

Around the world mems thoughts

Quick as the twinkling of an eye.
And waters shall great wonders do,
How strange and yet it shall come

Then upside down the world shall

And gold be found at the root of

Through towering hills proud men

No horse or ass move by his side.
Beneath the waters men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep and even

And in the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black. as we'll as green.
A great man then shall come and

For Prophecy declares it so.
In water iron then shall float,
AS easy as a wooden boat
God shall be found in stream and

In land that is as yet unknown.
Water and fire shall wonders do
And England shall admit a Jew.
The Jew that once was held in

Kennewick Places Second
In Debate League

The Kennewick high school debate
team won three out of four decisions
at the Yakima Valley Debate Con-
ference held at Wapato Saturday,
January 10. Hal Keene and George
Reymore upheld both the negative
and the affirmative sides of the
question: Resolved, that every able
bodied male citizen in the U. S.
should be required to have a year
of full time military training before
attaining the present draft age"
The Kennewick team has won six
of the eight debates participated in
this season. Kennewick is now in
second place in the valley and will
doubtless go to Pullman to compete
in the state contest.
Ellensburg holds first place in the
Valley~ debate conference, having
won seven out of eight debates this
season.

New Car Use
Tax Stamps Now
Available at Pc.
All cars must bear
stamp; war revenue
measure important

So far as Kennewick is concerned
there is no controversy about wheth-
er or not the new federal car Ii
cense stamps are to be used or where
they are to be placed, according to
Postmaster F. II. Lincoln.
A supply of the stamps and the
accompanying post cards was re-
ceived this morning at the local Of
flee and already three car owners
have pungled up their 500 to the
government for the privilege of own
ing their cars. Together with the
stamp comes a post card to the in
ternal revenue collector notifying
him that your car has paid the tax
and he doesn't need to send q
United States marshal to attach the
old bus.
The stamps are green and about
the size of four regular postage
stamps. Printed in green a Liberty
Bell carries the wording: Federal
Use Tax on Motor Vehicles. $500
This stamp expires June 80, 1912
Stamp transferable with vehicle
Anyway, the law has passed, it's
compulsory to have the stamp, the
postmaster has them and needs two
and a tenth bucks to pay for 'em

This Area tOSee
Building of War
Preparations
G. of c. committee re-
ports favorable con-
sideratiOn for sites

Up to the present time it has been
extremely difficult to stir up any
real enthusiasm about blackouts, gas
attacks and general war precautions
for the general public could see no
reason for even a jap to waste bombs
in this area. Now, however, there
begins to appear a little different as
pect in that several army depots and
whatnot are apparently slated to be
located in this immediate section.
The industrial committee of the
chamber of commerce has been
working for a couple of months to
have some of this defense work 10
Gated in this area and has had many
conferences with officials regarding
the advantages, etc. Chairman Ed
Webber reported to the meeting this
noon that two or three of these en-
terprises are still definitely interest,"
ed in Kennewick and that develop
ments can be expeotd in the very
near future.
The same committee is also work
ing in conjunction with the port dis
trict officials in an effort to have
other, non-defense industry locate
in this vicinity and Mr.. Webber re-
ports progress along this line.
If these army projects go through,
either here or at Pasco, the air raid
precautions will not seem so ridicu-
lous and the authorities in charge
will have no further trouble in get
ting cooperation on the part of the
citizens once they see the actual
need for such action.

Bad Weather Cause
For Game Bird Feeding

Due to the unreasonable weather
the last few weeks it will he neces-
Sary to do a considerable amount OF
bird and duck feeding. There is no
doubt that in some localities a
number of game bird feeding sta
tons are now needed. The game de-
partment force in Benton county has
been at this work for over a week
now.
1t will be appreciated if the farm
ers, sportSmen and general public
will scatter few pounds Of wheat
where they know the quail and
pheasants are staying. The best
places are around trees and brush.
One ounce of feed to the bird will
be sufficient per day.
Ducks should be fed in shallow
water not over foot deep. Irriga-
ton bitches, drain bitches and along
open spots in the river. Now is the
time to insure yourself a bag OF
birds for next fall. Phone the game
department if you find any large
coveys Of birds not being taken care
of.

Urges Growers to
Greatly Increase
Grass Acreage
Demand greater than
supply, report at the
Big Y annual meeting

The Yakima Fruit Growers AS
ISOLATION held its annual district
meeting at the Masonic Temple on
Tuesday afternoon. The meeting
was well attended and the most har-
moneouS in the history of the or
ganization. Not a single complaint
was made by the members present.
states H. w. Desgranges, local
manager
w. d. Fancher, who succeeded to
the presidency following the death
Of President woodward; General
Manager j. w. Hebert and Field
Manager Curtis c. Aller were pres
ent and reported on the activities OF
the Association for the past year and
the general condition OF the organ
ization. With normal increase in
business the associations financial
condition is in excellent shape.
With the apple and pear industry
thing Of the past here and the
land converted to other crops, a
spirit Of optimism prevailed among
the growers. AS asparagus is one
of our principal crops Mr.. Herbert
reviewed in detail its development
here and what may be expected in
the future. No longer are the grow
erS dependent on a single outlet.
Through the efforts of the Big Y
various Gamers and freezers have
been interested and the demand now
far exceeds the supply. The future
for this crop is bright and grow
ers are urged to increase their acre
ages.
The freezing of vegetables and
fruits, which has been carried on in
an experimental way for three years,
is now on solid foundation. The
association has entered into a con-
tract with the Cascade Frozen Foods,
Inc. to freeze 1000 tons of vegetables
and fruits If the raw product is
available. To meet the demand for
refrigeration, an additional COM
pressor and other equipment will be
installed which will double the pres
ent capacity of the plant.
II. w. Desgranges, district man.
ager, for 81 years, due to i'll health,
has resigned. Mr.. Desgranges came
with the association when it was a
struggling infant, oft times almost
dispairing Of life and through per-
sistant effort has developed the
plant to its present proportions. Nc
Kinley Desgranges, his son, who has
been with the association for many
years as chief engineer and ware
house foreman, has been promoted
to District Manager There will be
no change in policy.

r.. C.. Gets Packages
To German Prisoners

One Of the functions of the Red
Cross which seems to be working
out all right is the shipment OF
packages to war prisoners. These
packages contain cigarettes, medi-
cfnes and personal articles difficult
for prisoners to obtain, but the
Germans seem to not hesitate in
the delivery Of the personally adj
dressed packages.
A receipt for such a package was
received this week by Mr.. and Mrs.
A. w. Walker, whose nephew has
been in "a German concentration
camp since the early days of the
war. He was a lieutenant with the
r. A. F., whose plane was shot down
in flames on bombing trip and he
was captured.
The Walkers hear from him every
two or three months on q special
post card upon which he is permitted
to write only the bareSt information.
The last card they received was the
Red Cross receipt card and It was
dated 20-10-40.
