1 dies, expansive swamplands and un- even terrain is generally unsuitable for armor. Even the Japs are re- ported to have only few tanks in China.
 General Ho stresses that China insists upon having Manchuria and Formosa returned to her.
 There is an impression in the United States that Chinese troops are commanded by American offi- cers. As matter of fact, with the exception of the Chinese Army in India and Burma, commanded first by General Stilwell and later by General Sultan, all Chinese combat units are commanded by Chinese" :" General Ho emphasizes. Americans are, however, serving as liaison of- ficers and training instructors and assist in combat operations. General Ho emphatically de- nied that Chinese troops have been hoarding lend-lease supplies and equipment in preparation for future civil wars.
 NEED WEAPONS
 "As a matter of fact" he asserts, "the quantity of American equip ment shipped in until recently has been far below the expectations of the general public. Most of the weapons employed by Chinese troops during the Salween River campaign, an essential phase of the Burmese war, were Chinese weapons. In the recent Chinese victory in West Human Province, the same, thing was true. Except for some Amer ican artillery and air support, Chi- nese troops employed on that front lsed Chinese weapons, There was

 It has not been many years since the average life span of a sawmill town was twenty years. Operators "cut out" the timber crop indis- criminately, slashing down every tree 10 inches or larger at the base. Then they would 'get out" to new forests and repeat the wasteful cutting method.
 Under the single tree selection system, developed by L. K. Pom eroy of Monticello, Ark, lumber men are cutting timber on sus- tained yield basis.
 The single tree system re-seeds the forests and give us something to go back to-" Pomeroy says.
 AK marks, paint or tage are used to mark the trees for spacing. Often larger trees are left stand ing because their position in the forests is favorable to the repro duction of new timber crop. The forest is reduced to composite lot of individual trees instead of being destroyed.
 Trees are like corn or cotton" |" Pomeroy says. "Thin them out and the remaining trees grow faster. And bigger rings on bigger circum- ferences result"
 Pomeroy's timber conservation plan also stresses lower stump and going higher into the top of a tree.
 Within two to four years after a tree has been felled, an average of 9 new trees spring up to re-

Running July 18-Gen. H0 Y1ng Chin is little bespectacled man not much bigger than Charlie Chaplin but he is Supreme Commander of the Chinese Armies and as such gives you the Oriental slant on a question frequently asked in Amer ica. It is: Should the Imperial Pal- ace be bombed?
 The American viewpoint seems to be: Don't jeopardize the life of the Emperor-the under sized rat. If you do, you destroy the one person whom the Japs obey. Perhaps some day he'll get it into his silly head to say: Hay down your arms" Pos sibly the thinking people of Japan are already urging him to give this order.
 But listen to Gen. Ho Ying Chin, whose headquarters are in Running. The great majority of Americans never heard of General Ho, States-side headlines having been strictly confined to Generalis- simo Chiang Kai-shek. General Ho is not a professional soldier, despite his four rows of ribbons emblazoned with battle stars.
 By all means, bomb the Imper- ial Palace" says General Ho, whom I interviewed in his villa here, which is the headquarters of Gen. eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek when he is in Running. Killing Emperor

portant in influencing the political
and social life of the nation. Even
back in the days of the first presi-
dent, though living was much less
involved, Washington felt that in
order to progress, the principles
of science and literature were
needed to study foreign affairs.
The character of Washington
made him the outstanding choice
as leader, after the Revolution
airy War. When it came time to
form a Constitution there was
much fault to be found, but Wash
ington felt it was as satisfactory
as anything so conceived could be
and suggested it be adopted and
altered according to circumstances
later, by amendments. r.
Washington did his duty well.
He had inherited love OF land,
his own acres and a devotion to
the struggling country that was
to become the great nation. He
held the confidence of the people.
He served as president for eight
years and they are marked IN
history for his sound, sober and
cautious judgment. It is his name
that Kennewick honors today.

fort. Then the news that America
would have less meats in Feb
ruary, fewer canned vegetables
on grocery shelves, and we felt
pinched. That is until we read
that Holland is dying a little each
day, from hunger. This is especial
ly hard on the children. With
Germany laying waste to the
country, requisitioning winter
clothing and bedding, not only
starvation is theirs but the fight
to keep warm. They will stand in
line as long as six hours to re-
ceive one plate of soup. Holland
is also having one of its coolest
winters in a number of years. So
should Kennewick view its cup
boards of food, its closets of win
ter garments, its drawers of heavy
socks and mufflers, its shelves of
warm blankets and comforters. As

Portable and coy, we should re-
member that winter is not only
in America, but it is in London
and Holland and everywhere
touched by the icy grip of war.

MEDICAL CORPS

With the plea for registered
nurses, we give editorial comment
such a fine job in service. They
get much dirty, hard work with
out much glory and comment. His
tory shows men of medicine in
battle as noble. Working usually
under all sorts of handicaps, they
perform their operations, and so
many patients that the few skilled
hands can scarcely perform the
task. They go, at the cost of their
lives, into dangerous zones.
Stretcher-bearers pass among the
wounded under direct fire per-
haps., An operation is performed
in a hastily contrived tent, per-
haps in a fox-hole, keeping the
mortality rate in this war down
to low figure. Saving 81 out of
every 100 wounded is a reason
for praise. They boast that with
the aid of the miracle drugs and
vital block banks, so to 80 60 back
to fight again.

How much damage will rat
do in years time? This area
of the state seems to be getting
its share of rats and when we
are told that each rat will do $40
worth of damage annually, that
certainly represents great eco
nomic as well as a social loss.
Rats can be, eliminated. Control
of rats can be successful by elm
ination of rat harbors, and by
the use of traps, poisoning, and
fumigating.
The main cause of rat infesta-
ton on farms, as pointed out by
the specialists, is favorable rat
harbors, safe hiding places near
an abundant food supply. Ninety
percent of rats in Washington are
brown rats and have their nest
in the ground. Common rat har-
bors include places where they
are protected from cats and dogs
beneath buildings, piles of fence
posts, lumber, old machinery and

New Treatment Perfected
For Rust Prevention


For Rust Prevention
More machinery trusts out than
wears out, says R. N. Miller,
Extension agricultural engineer,
and a compound has been devel-
oped to protect machinery for
eight months.
The compound can be sprayed
on with a power paint sprayer or
with a common tin household
sprayer enabling it to cover ma
terial not easily reached with a
paint brush, rag or dauber. In
stead of floating away when mois-
ture is present, the compound has
such an affinity for metal that is
remains under the oil, thus pro-
tecting the metal.
The new rust prevention treat
ment was one of the demonstra-
tons shown by the Agriculture
Extension service in their DEM
onstration Day tour conducted in
Benton county last month. Miller
expects this new treatment to
soon replace such old methods as
using crank case oil, and gear
grease. The new compound may
not be on the market but will
soon be for sale by most major
oil companies.
