More Troubles

The little federal car use stamp
which everyone had to-, buy last
year, may as well be discarded
now. For, beginning July first a
new stamp will be required. This
is federal car use stamp and has
no connection with state licenses
or anything else. The government
requires each car owner to pur-
chase a stamp and place it on the
lower right hand corner of his
windshield, merely for the privi-
lege of owning an automobile in
the United States. Federal in
spection will see that the obser-
vance Of the request is complied
with. So step right up, ladies and
gentlemen, and hand over the five
bucks to the postmaster. Better
have it done by the first of July,
too. .e9~- s.ss-,:@.

New Dependable
Store Opens
Tomorrow FH.l
Located next to the
Penney store on
Kennewick Ave. H..

The Dependable Grocery, Ken
newick's newest retail establish.
ment, will open its doors for bust
ness tomorrow Friday). The for.
NAL opening will be announced
next week. The opening has beer
delayed a week or so because of &
delay in getting the refrigeration
plant connected.
The new store, located in the
modern store room next door to
the j. c. Penney store, is well
equipped, both from merchan-
disc standpoint as well as the fix
lures. L. e. Putnam will be man.
ager of the new store, which is one
of the best stocked and equipped
in the chain in Eastern Wash
ington. He has recently arrived
from Cashmere, where the firm
has another large establishment.
Lloyd Mitchell, well known
butcher, will have charge of the
meat department in the new store.
Gone thing sure" MIR. Putnam
said today you'll never see De-
pendable store in dead town. We
have long had an eye on Kenne-
wick and when we had the OPP
portunity of securing location
here, we grabbed it. The firm is
of the opinion that the future of
Kennewick is a sbright as any
spot in the West and we are happy
to be able to get started in business
here on the ground floor. This
town is going places" he said,
"and we are going right along with
it. Personally" Mr.. Putnam said,
''both Mrs. Putnam and myself
like the town and I'm sure we
shall be happy to live in this COM
although the town of
where we came from,
is one of the incest towns in the
state to live in, we think"
The new store is modern in
every respect and is bright and
shiny under the new paint, inside
and out, and the shelves are COM
oletely stocked with standard mer-
chandise in the line.

Jim Allen Brings
Back jap Rifle

One of the much talked of jap
25-calibre rifles was on display
in the Courier window Saturday
afternoon. It belonged to Jim Al
len, who was home on fifteen
day furlough. Allen is gunners
mate third class and was just
back from service in the islands.
On March 10 he and eight other
sailors were sent ashore on patrol
duty and were told to bring back
a jap or two if possible. They
went inland for nine miles and sue
ceeded in capturing this jap and
were headed back, but the yellow
belly gave 'em so much trouble AL
len had to shoot him. Then he took
the jap's rifle and wallet as SOU
venirs, both of which he had with
him on his retrun home.
The rifle was much heavier than
we have been led to believe, it
weighing nine and half pounds.
It's bullets were high-powered, too,
and the rifling in the gun was
much sharper than in our guns.
The stock, very short, had five
notches cut on it, indicative of the
jap's previous success. However,
it was not possible, of course, to
tell whether the notches meant
Americans or Cinnamon or what.
They didn't look as though they
were newly cut, however. p
The rifle created quite a little
interest along the street.

Kiwanis to Back
Tin Can Collection
For War Effort
4 Need full carload to
make shipment; cans
must be flattened

what to do with the tin cans
,,,h;ch have accumulated for the
u,or effort was the problem pre-
ssnted to the local Kiwanis club
tuesday noon. George Purdy, 10
cal county defense cordinator sug-
oested that the club. sponsor the
effort to have the cans collected,
as he reported an urgent call from
headquarters for the cans.
Inasmuch as only a full carload
can be shipped, collection must be
undertaken for some little period
prior to shipping date. Many of
the Kiwanians reported having
saved their cans, cleaned and flat
tened and were anxious to have
them taken care of. Investigations
are to be made during the coming
week and an effort made to gather
the required amount for ship
n,ent in the near future.
The cans are needed for two
purposes, Purdy reported. 1t re-
CURED nine pounds of cans to Sc
cure three-quarters of an ounce
of tin, he said. The small amount
would hardly justify the effort
were it not for the fact that after
the cans have been detinned, they
are shipped to copper mines where
they are allowed to be immersed in
the waste water from the mines.
Here the metal turns, gradually,
into pure copper, of which the
same nine pounds becomes seven
pounds of copper. 1t is this metal
which justifies the collection eff
fort, rather than the amount of
tin recovered.
Details concerning the tin COL
lection will be announced later.

$500 Applications
For Ration Books
Received Here
Indicates a trading
population of at least
$500 in area

If your application card for Ra-
ton Book No. 3 hasn't been mailed
by now, you may have an I'M
pleasantly long wait before you
receive your coupons. Today, June
10th is the deadline for mailing,
according to the information sent
out Of the War Rationing board.
This area has been pretty well
covered, according to Postmaster
F. II. Lincoln, who is today send
ing in the last Of the applications
received locally. So far he has re-
turned approximately $500 Of the
applications, indicating $500 fam
lilies receiving mail service from
the local office. Other offices in
the county and nation are also
making their final shipments to-
day.
On the usual basis for estimat-
ing population-three and a half
people tn the fanily-this number
of cards would indicate a popula-
ton in this immediate area Of
something over eight thousand.
Taking in consideration that the
1910 csnsus gave the entire county
only a $4,000 population, this rep
resents an astounding growth in
the past year. However, just for
the fun of it Mr.. Lincoln grabbed
a bunch of today's cards from the
city proper and one from the low
er district and counted the individ-
uals represented. The result was
almost exactly three to the family.
Even at that, it showed, IL the ra-
ito holds good throughout the
area, a population Of at least $500
in the Kennewick trading area.

Local Bakery
InsfallsNeW
Equipment
Capacity now better
than ten loaves a
minute

With a new oven going into
commission tomorrow F'riday) the
Kennewick Bakery will be
equipped to turn out better than 10
loaves minute, according to A. T.
Belair today. He has just installed
a new rotary oven, a continuous
baker, heated by butane gas.
The oven, a huge affair, has in
side a miniature ferris wheel ar
rangement, upon which the loaves
are placed. The baskets or shelves
rotate for the required length of
time for the type of baking re-
quired, then the pans are removed
and others put in their places. Thus
continuous baking is permitted.
This oven, in conjunction with
his old one, which is heated by a
coal fire, will give the local con-
Germ an output of breat of better
than 10 loaves a minute.
In addition to the new oven
Belair has also purchased a new
automatic slicing and wrapping
machine. This equipment will han
die about 1000 loaves an hour and
is one of the latest machines
Besides the new equipment
Belair has enlarged his baking
room and has installed big walk
in' refrigerator, two proofing
rooms and a dressing room for the
benefit of. his employees. He ex-
poets to have the new oven in op-
Grafton tomorrow, although there
are many of the repair details still
to be completed. All in all, the
local bakery will be one of the
most complete and up-to-date in
any small town in the state.

Grass Season TO
End June 18th

One more week will see the
windup Of the local commercial
grass canning season. While most
Of the growers have already
stopped cutting, there are still some
who are continuing. The tonnage
this year is far below normal on
account of the weather. ~
After a short period for change
over the Walla Walla Cannery will
start on corn, which crop will
largely come from the company's
own acreage. Lima beans will be
the last crop for this season to be
processed by the local plant, ac-
cording to Gus Parlier, local man
ager.

Farm Machinery Must
Be Put Into Use

A program to assure the use Of
idle machinery was announced
this week by the US. Department
of Agriculture through county U.s.
DA war boards. Under the pro-
gram war boards are given au-
thority to requisition and sell any
type of equipment useful in agri-
cultural production or the dis
tribution of agricultural products
if the legal owner does not take
immediate steps to put it to use
either through rental or sale for
Ithe production of food.
War boards must first locate
persons needing equipment who
are willing to purchase machinery.
The board will then communicate
with the owner of the idle ma
chinery who is given 10 days from
the date of the letter to notify the
war board that the offer of an
eligible purchaser has been ac-
cepted. In case the owner of the
machinery either fails to reply to
the county war board, refuses the
offer or refuses to rent his equip
ment to farmers needing it, the
board may request the state USDA
war board to requisition and sell
the machinery.
The price to be paid will be
the ceiling price Gor used ma
chinery for which ceiling prices
have been established less such
repair costs as are necessary to
put the machinery In running or
der. Where ceiling prices have not
been established the disposal price
will be a fair appraisal value as
determined by the country farm
committee. If the ma
chinery. is requisitioned, the need
of the purchasers must be certi-
fled by the county farm rationing
committee.
Realizing that the requisition Of
any material is powerful weap-
on of the government even in war
times since it involves the invasion
Of private rights, it is the hope
Of the Benton county war board
that it will be unnecessary to actu-
ally use the powers granted by the
order and that the owners will at
their own free will either rent or
sell to persons who are in need
Of the machinery.

business section outside the city
limits to the west of town was
pointed out at the chamber of
commerce this noon by c. L. Pow
