MONTGOMERY SIDELICHTS
BIZ ELSIE WHITE HAINES.

Last week we took you up
county through Boyd's along the
Buck Lodge road for a mile where
we left the highway and drove up
hill and down for another mile
or so to the Hargate place, and
there we left you on the hillside
with the goats and the daisies.
1t was beautiful clear day and
'the mountain" could be seen so
distinctly doesn't Sugar Loaf
look pretty? we remarked. EYES,,
replied the mistress of Sticks and
Stones, "How 1 would love to
have it for our goats to run on :
they would be so happy and ]
would not have to cut their toe
nails. Now Mrs. Hargate is not
a naive person at all she really
meant it but knowing the beauti-
fully cared for mountain, with its
many roses and precious shrub
berry, we knew that the goats
would indeed be very happy and
the owner of the mountain very
unhappy should they ever browse
there.
The herd name for the Hargate
Toggenburgs is "Trychlen" which
is descriptive Swiss-German word
for the sounds made on the day in
early summer when the Swiss
goats are taken to Alpine pastures
and the townspeople accompany
the herd for time. Special songs
bit of yodeling the tinkling of
bells the n-a-a-ay of the goats as
the procession winds along the
mountain paths are all tied up
in that one word.
We mentioned last week that
the Trychlen herd call is pro-
longed "Girls'. They all answer
in chorus with a brief Na-a-a-a
when they hear the call. All the
older does know their names and
will answer as their names are
called individually.
There is a seemingly, intricate
manner Of naming so that one
always knows the Image of a reg
istered animal by its name. No
matter how simple the name il
has for everyday use there is a
registered Sunday one Cotton
is really Trychlen Meckerli. Neck
erli is Swiss for "little one who
beats" and was so called because
as a kid she cried continuously.
She became Cotton when the mas
ter threatened to close her mouth
with cotton so he could sleep. Her
kids names start with an an" as
did their mothers.
Willowbrook Vera comes from
Willowbrook in Illinois, and her
twins are called Vereli and Vrenli.
She herself is a granddaughter OF
the grand champion mixer 'Vicky'.
See what we mean? Can you not
imagine trying to put yourself to
sleep by thinking up new names
beginning with "V"? Greta, Gret-
al and Gretchen are triplet kids
Of doe whose name began with a
"G". Sugar and Spice are pair
of last years twins.
Most of the does are belled, and
the Hargates are fortunate in
having a few tuned Swiss bells.
Annette, as BELTS the leader OF
the herd, wears the largest of
these. That she feels her import
ance is easily seen she lifts her
head to stare coldly at a couple
Of does engaged in a dispute and
if that does not work she takes
a hand, or rather a head in the
pushing for dairy goats have no
horns.

Aside from wasting food value.
boiled-over pots mean more clean
up work. Clean the burners accord
ing to material; steel wool for
aluminium, damp cloth for chrom-
ium, baking soda and water for
porcelain enamel. Old-type, cast
iron burners should be taken off
weekly and boiled in a weak wash
ing soda solution, then rinsed and
dried. Wiping lightly with oil cloth
will remove any rust.

They left their homes with
nothing but the clothes on their
backs and now those garments
are ripped and torn. Some
Adults came in naked when at
last the American lines over

finally gave up.
The majority are suffering
from dysentery, many are
barefoot. Many were old, sick
and weary before the war
forced them to superhuman ex-
ertions. There are literally hun
dreds of tiny children, infants
or toddlers, who were forced
into the same grueling tricks
as their elders. These are en-
tirely naked. Many are suffer-
ing from boils, rashes, scratch

MILITARIST SCOFFS
AT GERMAN CLAIMS

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. R =
Major General John r. Deane, one
of the few foreign officers who has
inspected the Red Army front, to-
day attributed the recent slow
ing of Russian advances to the
necessity or recognizing supply
lines, and scoffed at any idea that
the Germans have been making a
planned withdrawal.
'If this was a planned Withdraw
al" the chief of the military
missions to Moscow told news
conference, cit was poor plan"
- The speed of the Red Army's
advance, said Deane, was due to
a number of factors, the most inn
portant being the 100 per cent
war participation Of the civilian
population, and the speed with
which civilians repair supply
routes.

4inue to need ration certificates.
Comparatively few oil conversion
range burner units are being manu-
featured and the supply now avail
able for civilian is so small that
control above the consumer level
serves no useful purpose. No allow
able inventories have been estab-
1ished for conversion burners be-
cause of the restrictions i'm
posed on manufacture of the item,
OPA said.
The effect of today's action is to
make it easier to obtain better
distribution of the small number
of conversion range burners still
available.
Control at the consumer level is
still necessary as re3ns Of con-
serving kerosene, which is in
actuely short supply.

Any person is eligible for certl-

the stove is to be used in what is

Eligibility requirements set up at
the outset of stove rationi1g pro-

cooking stoves for use in living or

where the stoves would be used

SERVICE WIVES
LEAVING CITY

The decrease in job placements
and increase in issuance Of state
ments of availability in July by
the u. S. Employment office was
indicative that many Army wives
are returning to their homes due
to the scheduled closing of Camp
Davis, Manager Felix A. Scroggs
said yesterday.
"The employment office mas re-
ceived only slight indication in the
past two weeks that persons are
leaving war jobs here to return TO
their peace time occupations,
Scroggs said.
"Six weeks ago, it was another
story because we were issuing a
great number of statements OF
availability to those wanting to re-
sumo their old jobs in their home
towns" he said. 1.-The issuance
dropped primarily on account OF
the priorities referral plan, be-
cause they were told if they left
war Jobs here they would be re-
ferred to essential occupations at
home rather than to their old
peace time work"
Job placements inr July were
1867, a decrease Of 300 over the
previous month.
A total of 1853 statements of
availability were issued a t
month, an increase of 100 over
June, and 1872 were denied. The
USES gave placement "assists"
to $40 persons who already had
obtained jobs but needed clear
ance from former positions.

GOOD FROM WAR

To English mothers war has
proven of benefit in one instance,
that beyond the slightest doubt"
according to a doctor who is a
research fellow of the Royal Col
lege of Surgeons and Royal Col
lege of Physicians, British chill
dren's health has improved through
the war. After making an in
tensive study of the effects on the
health of the nations young, he
points out that the country will
benefit for many years to come
from the improved, present eating
habits brought on by war. Before
1899 very few English children
were getting cod liver oil, orange
juice and milk. It has been given
them since that time and they
have flourished from it. The diet
of war has, in this instance, been
agreeable and consequently ac-
ceptable to the parents. It is hoped
it can continue through the peace.
Mothers in Kennewick have used
this diet for years.

SMALL TOWN BUSINESS

So much attention is given big
industrial organizations that we
might lose sight of the fact that
the great bulk of all business en-
terprise in this country is in the
hands of the small business man.
For instance, the small towns ac-
count for so 20 Of the gasoline
sold, 500 of Cadillac cars sold,
sends a larger percentage of
youngsters to colleges per thous-
and population than the city, that
a little over $3.50 of the manu-
featuring companies in our coun-
try employ less than 100 people
each. This is why we stress small
business, the importance of ap-
pealing to the small town senti-
ment. Look to what field man
eventually appeals for his vote
getting, for your proof is the
power Of the small town market.
Let us keep it free, unhampered
and unprejudiced.

ST. VALENTINE

Who among us in Kennewick
will deny the hearts and flowers
and verses to the one we love? It
might build up the morale of our
own hearth if we 60 "all out for
st. Valentine" this year and shed
a bit of the seasons sentimental
greetings in our family. Marriage
doesn't make a difference in the
affectionate salute but one be-
comes more careless after he
brings his Valentine home to darn
socks, cook meals, eweep floors.
Surely she is just as deserving OF
her s'Roses are red"! We will be
more considerate this year of using
long distance and sending wires,
but we can still write messages
of affection and spread some per-
sonal joy in a world that can
easily use it.

THE MAN LINCOLN

Today with events pointing to
great figures Of the past VINO have
met wars and helped win them,
the mind draws instantly to the
man Lincoln. Can we deny that
human nature is different than
those 80-odd years ago when a
nation was making desperate
struggle? Man may have differ
ent reasons, different policies, var
led attacks, but mans nature is
the same as when Lincoln piloted
the ship. He had a more difficult
time preparing for war. He
fought appeasers and arm chair
strategists. There was the war
profiteer who puts today's goug-
er to shame. The draft bill he
issued caused a terrible bout. Pol
>itics and the army was so inter
twined that they were one. The
spoiles system was a professional
game compared to our amateur
standing today. Initiation ran wild
His foes were many from political
minded laymen through scheming
congressman, some of his cabinet
members, his generals and toe
many Of his party members.
We speak Of Lincoln as the sym
Dol of democracy. We quote him on
keeping intact our freedom. We
refer to him as the man for the
ages. Consider him and the ex-
tent Of his wisdom. His birthday
is not needed to remind us of the
Unreasonable good Of the man, his
understanding and his predictions.
He proved democracy and its pos
sibilities as he went from cabin to
Capitol. He practiced democracy
in every act, every idea, every
word and plan conceived.
What would Lincoln do today?

We have heard a lot about this
country's foreign policy. As far
back as we can remember peri
odically some one has offered criti-
cism of this country's foreign pol
icy. The thing has aroused our
curiosity upon number of oc-
casions to the extent that we
would like TO know what this thing
is that is so glibly referred to as
our foreign policy. We would like
to have the thing brought out
into public view and laid on the
table where we could look at
it and discover what it is.
