NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-What
difference does it make if the
Yankees are nine games in front
and the Dodgers six and one
half, did you ever see such a race
as they're having in the Amer
ican Association? The standings
Gas of yesterday show only six
games from f1rst-place Milwaukee
to seventh-place Indianapolis.
Count out league-leading New
ark and the International is
almost as close-five games from
second to seventh. They're still
hustling for a piece of the playoff
change in several other minor
leagues, too. Sidelight on great
athlete: When Babe Ruth was
dressing after his first workout
in years at the Yankee Stadium,
Red Ruf11ng glanced over at the
Bam, surrounded by admiring
younger Yankees, and remarked,
Look at the guy, he still hangs
up his uniform" No extra work
for the clubhouse boy when the

1t is a little early just yet to tell
exactly what the return from the
peach and apricot crops Of this val
ley will be, but men who are in close
touch with the growers assure us
that the total receipts. from these

hood of $4,000 this year.

track west along the south line Of

that additional platforms will be
built to help in handling the spud
and hay crops.
Within the next few months work
will be commenced on a $l25,o00
fruit cannery and eyaporator plant
to be located somewhere central to
the fruit districts of Eastern Wash,
and Kennewick has a very favorably
chance of being the site selected.

We believe that congress did the
right thing in refusing further ap-
preparations to the CCC camps. The
CCC camps filled definite want
during the depression in a splendid
way, but the need has passed. We
believe though that it would be I'M
wise to dismantle the buildings for
a while yet. "A caretaker should be
placed in each camp to look after
the property. We may need the CCC
camps after the war is over. The
cost of caretaker for the buildings
would be small. If they are wreck
ed and sold it will be at considerable
loss. AT the close of the last war
all the barracks in the several
camps were wrecked and sold at a
great sacrifice. 1t would have been
a wise thing, it now appears, to have
placed caretakers in charge and
held them for this emergency.

There is too much talk about pre-
venting initiation and too little done
to prevent it. washington desires
to give the impression that it's fight
ing against initiation. AS a matter
of fact this is not the case. Only half
steps are being taken to prevent in
flation. This in spite of the fact
that the memory of the disastrous
effects of. initiation following the
last war is still fresh in the minds
of many. 1t was the initiation that
followed the last war that caused the
1929 debacle and the depression that
followed it. The prediction general
ly is that unless initiation is headed
off now, history will repeat itself
in this particular. IF it does we are
in the position of a country blind
ly, deliberately and drln1bly walk
ing into debacqe that will be even
more destructive of values than the
war itself. The hope is that the ad-
doesn't wake up too
late.

. A local ration board member COM
mented as follows on the sdtioning
program yesterday: The rationing
program is all right. It's purpose is
to see that those with plenty of
money don't grab up the scarce
items so that others can't get any of
them. The rationing program, how
ever, can't do it all. From it's very
nature the rationing program de-
ponds upon the people, the rank and
file of the citizens, to insure its sue
cessful operation If one makes up
his mind to chisel> on the country
and his fellows he may beat the
-ationing program, and may not be
caught at it. 1t simply reverts back
to the old principle that you can't
make an honest man out of a crook
by passing Law, and you can't make
a patriot out of a traitor by passing
a law. A man is either honest or he
isn't and he is either a patriot or
he isn't. The ratioring law isn't in
tended to reform people, it is merely
intended to provide a program for
the guidance of patriots. 3

ANOTHER STORY

Many stories have reached us of
various incidents occurring during
battles being fought by our men over
seas. All are interesting and denote
the sort of matter-of-fact courag-
eousness of our fighters. Their task
is to do a big job as quickly and
efficiently as possible. They are
making their efforts felt in the right
quarters. Some of the tales we hear
of their calm under unpleasant and
dangerous situations are examples
of the metal of the men engaged
in war.
Take the story that is current
which took place during the sink
ing of the Lexington. While the
ship was being fired upon, explosions
to right and left, boat rocking as it
was destined for sinking, fire from
bombs getting sections of it, the
boys who were freed from duty by
the relief crowded the ships store
for ice cream cones and actually
ate ice cream from their helmets as
they slid down the ropes into the
sea. Cool and calm and making the
best of the great loss and horrible
defeat but not cold and irrespon-
sible. Doing all they could while
they could do it and keeping their
heads when what they did was not
enough to stop their ship from going
down under. All hands were busy
when needed, there was no doubt of
that. This story told of the boys
on the Lexington has something
about lit that is so purely indicative
of the American boyhood, the brav-
cry under fire, the level-headed men
with the undaunted spirit of youth.
1t should appeal to readers.

The best barometer of the spirit
of a town is TO be found in its
chamber of conmercs. IF the town
has a good, live, active, up and COM

mercial club, the chances are it is a
good, live town, with wide awake
