these distilleries are available to do the job.
Otherwise, if we still had prohibition, the

Will Investigate Jap Camps

Charges made by Chairman Reynolds Democrat
North Carolina, of pampering of the Japs in the var
Gus relocation centers should be investigated.
Two Of the largest Jap relocation centers are
located in Arizona. Both have hit the headlines
despite the rigid censorship Of news coming from
them There have been several disturbances fostered
by the pro-Axis elements in the camps and there
indications that the pro-Axis elements have large
followings.
Segregation of enemy Japs from loyal American
Japs should be the first thing undertaken and perhaps
WILL if Senator Reynolds wins approval Of his plan to
place the camps under army supervision.
There is little question but what the War Reloca-
tion Authority has leaned over backwards in the
treatment accorded the Japs in these centers.
Every American will agree that they should be
treated p accordance with the rules Of civilized soc
ETY. regardless of how the Japs treat nationals in
their prison camps
However, they should be treated no better than
our American citizens. Reports persist, and they
have been officially denied, that the Japs are
literally showered with the best food and in quantities
exceeding that available to the rest Of us.
Let them be rationed on the same basis as we are
rationed If we can get along on less meat they can
do likewise There is valid reason Why they should
not be subjected to rationing.
The more they are "pampered" the more contempt
do the enemy Japs have for us. phoenix Gazette)

Between The

(OWEN FARRELL CLARK)

TORPEDO JUNCTION. BY Robert
E. Casey. Bobbs, Merrill and
Co. New York. 1912.
I thought that Bob Casey would
soon be giving us another book when
I read several months ago that he
was covering the Pacific Fleet with
Bob Landry. Casey, top CORES
pondent for the Chicago Daily News,
ranks with the best in the business.
His sense of humor is well known
among his confreres. It can hardly
be said of any man that he has
been everywhere and has seen
everything, but Bob has been doing
his best to make this a reality His
earlier book, IT Can't Forget" COW
cred the fall of France and the
bombing of England. Casey's clos
ing thought in that book stressed
the fact that the war was spreading
and that he, Bob, would probably
go on reporting the war wherever
and whenever he could.
Being a jovial Irishman with a
great fund of anecdotes, Casey was
right at home with the fleet. TOR
PEDO JUNCTION takes you aboard
one of the ships and gives you a
good day by day account of what
Casey saw while the fleet was at sea
following orders.
I, myself, have always had a great
admiration for the United States
Navy, but until read this book I
did not realize how well the navy
takes care of it's men. The food
aboard ship is wholesome, plentiful
and appetizing. The larger ships
are equipped with operating rooms
and every modern convenience pos
sible. The doctors are often. well
known surgeons. Many of the ships
have newspapers. Movies are shown
almost every afternoon. Casey read
many books. If the titles are typl-
cal, modern ships library must be
something to write home about.
Being correspondent, Bob Casey
was interested in all phases of life
aboard ship. He talked frequently
with officers and men.
His descriptions of activity in
actual battle are as good as you'll
find between the covers of a book.
Bob. himself, was a captain during
the first World War.
Earlier in the war we all wondered
where the fleet was. This book an
swers the question. No one can
read it without being proud of our
navy. I suggest that you plan to
borrow it at the Nogales Public
Library. You'll like it.

to the public.
These ration checks will have
nothing to do with the payment for
the commodities ordered. Retailers
and wholesalers will continue to pay
them bills in the usual way.
Ration coupon banking" is a new
plan for handling lot of the work
now done by the $500 local ration
boards Collecting, counting, record
ing, controlling, and safeguarding
of ration coupons and exchanging
them for certificates by means of
which dealers order new supplies Of
commodities for sale to the public
has threatened to overburden the
ration boards and possibly leopard
ize the flow of commodities to the
public as additional commodities
are rationed. The government has
therefore asked the banks to under
take these accounting activities in
order to assure the smooth running
and success of the ration program.
Rationing is designed to secure a
fair share of scarce commodities for
everybody. Ration coupon bank
ing is designed to help bring that
about. IN undertaking to operate
this new ration coupon banking"
system the banks will perform a
non-profit war service for the gov
ernment. In doing this, the banks
are simply adding another service

ton. Nevada, Maine, Montana and
Michigan, according to latest infor-
nation, will wind up cage compe-
tition in sectional meets, since the
distances within those states are too
vast or transportation facilities are
too limited. Arizona has discontin-
ued both district and state cage
meets. The same will prevail in
track contests.
Draft To Have Little Effect
''The consensus is that the draft
of 18-year-olds will have little ef-
feet on prep sports since the aver
age age OF high school athletes is
IT," Porter explained. "Transpor-
tation, of course, will be the prob
lem, but schools plan schedules
close to home, placing emphasis on
inter scholastic sports that build
physical fitness, offer competitive
action and lift the morals of the
whole community.
High school athletic staffs have
been reduced about Is per cent since
the war started" Porter added,
while in 1912 travel was reduced
about 35 per cent. It will probably
be reduced further in 1913. High
school squads use railroads, buses,
or common carriers in 38 per cent
of the cases, while the remaining
81 per cent used privately owned
automobiles.
Receipts fell off Is per cent in
1912" Porter revealed, "but the
drop does not mean proportionate
decrease in spectator interest Many
fans worked during game times,
while transportation facilities kept
others home''

The Hudgm Protest To Washington

We desire to publicly commend Mayor Hudgin
for protesting to Washington against the ruling
whereby border residents longer bring into
Nogales, Arizona, small quantities of sugar.
A similar protest should be wired by the Cham
Der Of Commerce if it has not already been done.
No good reason has been advanced by govern
ment officials for the prohibitory measure
If there is a shortage of sugar in the United
States that alone should be sufficient why Nogaes
Arizonans should be allowed and urged to get their
sugar across the line.
Looks to us like the main reason for the crack
down was too much publicity about folks along the
border not feeling the effects Of rationng. Appar
emily people in the interior became envious and
appealed to Washington "to stop those Nogalians
from getting more sugar than we can get"

Ration Coupon Banking Service TO
Be lnaugurated At
First National Bank On January Il

Ration coupon banking, new
type of service for retailers and
wholesalers of ratiOned COM
modities, designed to make the
nations ration program work
more effectively, will be inaug-
urated here in Nogales January
27 at the First National Bank,
it was announced yesterday.
This is a war service that the gov
ernment has asked the banks to un-
dertake under which wholesalers
and the larger retailers will be re-
ouired by the Office of Price Ad-
ministration to open ration bank
accounts" in the banks with which
they customarily do business.
into these ration accounts the
wholesalers and retailers will deposit
the ration coupons received from
their customers against which they
will draw special ration check"
when ordering new supplies. 1t is
expected that only the retailers
whose food sales in December, 1912,
exceeded $1,000 will be directed by
the Office of Price Administration
to- open ration accounts" No
charges of any kind will be made by
the banks for this service.
Consumers such as housewives,
motorists, and other individuals who
purchase rationed commodities for
consumption will not be affected by
the new ration coupon banking"
system. They will continue to OBJ
tain their ration coupons from local
ration boards and they will continue
to spend their coupons at the
stores just as they have been doing
in the past. Only certain dealers
selling rationed commodities will
have to open ration bank ac-
counts. -
The banks will have nothing to do
with the fixing of ration allotments
or allowances, or with the issuing
OF ration coupons. The local ration
boards will continue to perform
these functions.
The new ration banking system
will not affect the regular money or
check accounts of the public at all.
The public will continue to use their
bank accounts in the customary
way.
New Accounts
The 'ration bank accounts" will
be new accounts for the handling OF
ration coupons only and will be en-
tirely separate from all other ac-
counts in the banks. BY depositing
coupons in their ration bank ac-
counts" retailers and wholesalers
will build up credits or balances Of
pounds, gallons, or points in the
various rationed commodities
Against these balances they will
draw special ration checks pay
able to their suppliers when they

Sure Population
Has Doubled

Inquiries from OPA as to the
present population of the Kenne-
wick trade area for the purpose of
increasing the sugar allotment to
industrial users here caused an
unofficial census estimate. It is
now figured that in the auto. and
trailer camps and in many other
temporary living places there are
as many people as were included
in the entire city population in 1910
when the national census was
taken.
For the month of June only the
OPA has doubled the sugar allot-
ment to Kennewick. To maintain
that amount it is now necessary
for the community to prove with
facts and figures that the popu1a-
ton Of the district has actually
been doubled. The chamber of
commerce will attempt to furnish
the OPAers that such is the case.
The state investigator is quoted
as believing that there are at least
"a, 900 people now resident in the
county. g..

IHanfOrd MasOns Join
Local Organization

Evacuation of the town of Han
ford caused the dissolution of all
the civic and fraternal organiza-
tons. Among the oldest of these
was the Masonic order at that
place. Members of the Hanford
organization voted to consolidate
with the Kennewick lodge. Official
action has now been taken by both
organizations.
Wednesday night officials of the
state grand lodge were in Kenne-
wick to officiate at the ceremonies
which consolidated the two or
CARNATIONS. Among the grand
lodge officers were Don Kizer,
deputy grand master and John
Emigh, of Walla Walla, past grand
master of the state. Other grand
lodge officers were also present.
The local lodge entertained the
distinguished guests at a dinner
servd at the hall by the members
of the Eastern Star. The official
ceremonies followed in the hall.

Bus Business is
Growing Concern

More than 5000 passengers were
transported on the Inter-City Bus
system during the past month, &C.
cording to a report made this noon
at the chamber of commerce meet
ing by Carroll Pratt. The business
is getting to be an important one
in this community, Pratt said. Six
teen trips are made daily between
Kennewick and Pasco and five
rounds trips to Richland each day
a gradually increasing de-
mand. Early next month another
bus line will start between Han
ford and Yakima, Pratt reported.
Pratt again called to the atten-
ton of the chamber the need for
further opening of the local bust
ness establishments. He said the
workers on the projects needed
later hours in which to transact
their business, particularly bank
ing and dry goods stores.
