Let RayOn Dry

All rayon garments should be thor
oughly dry before being worn. AS
has been said before, rayon is weak
er when it is damp; therefore, it
will give quickly if worn when damp.
Perhaps you have been conscious Of
the precaution found on most rayon
hose: dry at least 4S hours before
wearing. The same precaution ap-
plies to all rayop garments.

The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1945-09-27

One Of our contemporaries writ
ing in the Southeast Washington
Labor News last week makes q
pertinent suggestion. After out
lining the elaborate plans made
by our sister city on the north
bank In regard to q big city park
he reports that the whole plan
was thrown out because It was dis
covered that a high tension power
line crossed the proposed site.
It Is obvious that q power line
carrying q heavy load does not
mix well with q swimming pool,
ball field and kite flying. The
site was donated to the city by
the American Legion, to be used
as q living War Memorial.
Here Is the suggestion:
"The writer is an old Legion
naire and feels that he is privileg-
ed to make q suggestion. Why not
Join forces with Kennewick and
build q Memorial Park over there?
I'll bet Kennewick would help you
get started mighty quick. Those
fellows do things now and argue
afterward."
Them's mighy fine words Of
praise, Brother.

Postwar

The long-talked Of postwar
period Is here. Much that has
been said and written Of what that
period would bring. Most OF that
has been In regard to scientific
and industrial development. Little
has been said Of the nations NUM-
Der one neutrality-suspicious..
What does the immediate future
hold for the farmer? What Is the
long view?
One thing is quite obvious. The
farmer definitely Is not facing the
tough years that followed World
War I. There are several factors
in the farmers favor. Each year
brings q population increase Of q
million and a half mouths to feed.
In spite of the increase in reclaim.
ed farm land, acreages have not
increased In that proportion. Dur
ing the war years, .acreage8 have
not increased in that proportion.
During the war years millions Of
Americans have been educated
to appreciate and want better
balanced meals.
In addition to this 1S an ever
increasing world market. Peoples
in many parts of the world are
aspiring to a higher standard Of
living.
And to top It all off there - q
new field that Is just being
scratched. That is the use Of farm
grown crops in chemistry. An a1-
most limitless field is being Open
ed that will put q definite end to
any possible farm Surplus"
The farmer can definitely look
forward to years Of good markets.

and air gun, as they had for other
tribes along the way. Having had
their horses returned to them and
having traded for several more,
Lewis and Clark left the Indian
camp on May - to make a camp
Of their own and wait for the
snow to melt sufficiently for them
to cross.
Their camp was located on the
east bank of the Clearwater, with
in a few miles Of Kamiah, and
was known as Camp Choppunish.
Game was scarce and Indian and
white alike suffered from lack Of
food. Their stock Of merchandise
for trading purposes being about
exhausted, the men cut brass but
tons from their coats and traded
them to the Indians for food.
The expedition had started out
well supplied with articles for In.
dian trade, but the continuous de-
mands had exhausted the supply.
Eyewater was In great demand,
especially among the Indians along
the Columbia, whose eyes were IN
bad condition caused by the Re
Election Of the sun on the water
and from the fine sand which wa
constantly blowing.
On June 10, 1905, the start wa
|made to cross the Bitter Roots.
They Travelled north and c1mped
at Quamish flats (Weippe, praire),
west Of the present Weippe, Idaho,
where they stayed for i've days,
getting ready for the struggle &C.
ross the mountains. Two days Of
hard travelling through deep snow
convinced them that they could
not make II, 50 they returned 70
Quamish Flats to recoup the
strength Of themselves and horses.
A new start was made on the
oath, with three young Nez Perez
Indians as guides. This was the
trail over which Chief Joseph led
his people during the Nez Perez
Indian war Of 1877. This time
their effort was successful and,
on June %, camp was made at
Lolo Hot Springs, where everyone
INDUCED In q refreshing bath. The
following day they reached their
old camp at Travellers Rest
On the 3rd Of July the party
separated. Lewis taking nine men
was to 60 direct to the falls Of the
Missouri, there to leave three men
to prepare means Of Transporting
the baggage around the falls, him
self to take six men to ascend
and explore Maria's river. The
rest Of the party were to 60 to
the head Of Jefferson river, where
Sergeant Ordway and nine men
were assigned to descend the river
to the falls In canoes. Captain

PHILIP DANFoRTH ARMOUR, New
York farm boy, set forth in a covered
wagon across the western plains follow
ing the California gold rush in the fifties.
The livestock of the middle west inn
pressed the young man from the farm
more than did the gold in California, and
after few years he returned and started
with meager capital in the meat field as
provisions broker IN Milwaukee. In 1868
he became junior partner in a relatively
small Milwaukee packing firm, and in 1867
he founded Armour and Company in Chi
cago on modest foundation.
Under his guidance and that of his sue
cessors, Armour and Company has since
expanded into great concern with "a
large packing plants in North America, s
in South America. 800 branch distributing
houses in the United States and selling
agencies in most of the white mans world
IA gigantic business enterprise employ
ing more than 10000 persons.
Now, the world-famous firm of Armour
and Company is among the important,
valued customers of The National Bank of
Commerce which itself started more than
a half century ago as small institution
to become the 18th largest bank in the
United States today.
Such knowledge of the humble origin
OF many great concerns among customers
of The National Bank of Commerce has
impressed the fact that virtually all Sue
cessful businesses of today were once
small. Our basic policy is to extend the full
cooperation Of all our departments to the
welfare of individuals or firms with sound,
although modest, operations. This prac-
tice is active as we'll as fundamental with
