Another Bogus Check Artist

c. w. Kelch, who bad been about
town Tor several days, evidently went
broke and, needing some money, start
ed out the first of the week to pass a
few checks among Lsavenworth mer-
chants. He drew the checks on the
Leavenworth State Bank, signing N. l..

were issued by him, all being drawn
for less than $40 each. After cashing
the checks he appropriated horse

left for Cashmere, where he was appre-
hended by the officers, who placed
him under arrest. He plead guilty
and is now lodged in the county jail
awaiting sentence by the superior
court.

CHELAN COUNTY HAS
MANY DIVORCE CASES
In the Past Year Thirty-TwO Couples,
Disappointed in MatrimOny,
Obtained Divorce

According to a statement made this
week by David Keith, auditor for Che
Ian county, one in every six marriages
in this county in the past four years
has been failure. During that period
there have been TIA marriages and 124
divorces. While this record is bad
enough it is little better than in Seat
tie, where the records show three
divorces to every eight marriages.
In Chelan county in 1911 there were
granted 81 divorces; in 1912, 38; in
1918, 33; and in 1914, 80. Those
who are contemplating marriage should
consider these figures and hesitate be-
fore taking the leap.

CREAMERY MEETING
LAST SATURDAY
Plan Outlined and Laid Before Repre-
sentative Turnout of Ranch Owners

While the attendance Of ranchers
and owners of cows was not as large as
could have been wished it was by no
means discouraging. Representatives
from the Chumstick and Eagle Creek
valleys, Peshastin and Merritt, Cascade
Orchards and Mason creek were
present. All took keen interest in
the movement and at the close of the
meeting some thirteen owners Of cows
subscribed for stock. Emil Frank and
M. o. Van Brocklin agreed to see the
absent owners Of cows and endeavor to
secure their corporation. Mr.. Bene-
dict, dairyman from the Skagit valley,
the wealthiest and most prosperous
farming section in the state OF Wash
ington. was present and told the meet
ing that they were making no mistake
in trying to get creamery and develop
the dairy industry. He said he had
been in the dairy business ten years,
and started on very modest capital,
and had cleared just about twelve thous-
and dollars. He said he sold his milk
to a condenser but that many OF his
neighbors sold their butter fat to cream
cries, of which there are several in the
Skagit valley, and all Of them had
proved success. He said, of course,
the dairy business required work, but
he had never been able to find any
occupation that did not require work if
success was the end aimed at.
The plan of organization presented
by the committee seemed to meet with
general approval. 49,.
Another meeting will be held the
latter part of the month or early in Feb
ruary, OF which due notice will be

fairness and correct dealings
with his fellow-man, has
made for himself a success in
life which is both worthy
and deserving. And in the
enjoyment of his success, he
has never forgotten his less
successful worker, but he has,
all along been the
friend, adviser and helper Of
all deserving men who came
within his influence. All
classes Of our citizens admire
and trust him.
Mr.. O'Niell and Mr.. Pharr
are representatives of our
agricultural interests. Agri-
culturists themselves, they
are in touch with every need
Of that interest. This inter-
est is, perhaps the most i'm
portant that will be consid-
cred by the convention, for
by it a vast majority of our
people live. They are close
students of practical agri-
culture. BY long experience
they have become perfectly
familiar with it and with the
needs of the Louisiana farm
er. They are educated, up
right and broad-minded men,
and the interests of our farm
ers can be safely placed in
their care.
These are some Of the rea-
sons why these gentlemen
are our choice for the nomin-
alton, and the Banner hear
tily commends them to the
favorable consideration of
the voters of the Progressive

OUR CHOICE.

The contest is now on for
the nomination of three dele.
gates by the Progressive Par
ty of the Parish of st. Mary
to the Constitutional Con-
vention to be held in this
State on September 18th,
1915. From the inception of
this campaign, the Banner
has urged the members Of
our party to nominate for
delegates men who are best
qualified to perform this
serious and important trust.
We urge the same now in all
sincerity. We urge them, in
their selection, to be influen-
ced solely by the superior fit.
ness of the candidates who
enter the race. and when
thus selected, work for them
openly, firmly, fairly, ener-
getically and consistently.
Of all deliberative bodies,
the work of a Constitutional
Convention is the most serious
and difficult. Its enactments,
unlike Legislative acts, are
organic. They cannot be cas-.
lily changed or abrogated. If
mistakes are made-if they
fail to meet the needs of the
people, they must be en-
dured, at least, until the
people can meet again
through legally constituted
delegates and remedy the
evil. It is for this reason
that any political organiza-
ton should present for selec-
ton their best material. We,
at least, insist that the Pro.
gressive Party should do SO.
Knowing that it is reasonable
to expect that a public journ.
al should take the lead in ex-
pressing it's choice, and the
Banner in this article now
openly expresses it's choice
among the candidates now in
the race for nomination by
the Progressive Party.
Without ,disparaging, but
with the best of feeling for|
other candidates, the Ban
ner's choice are Mr.. James
A. Peterman, Of Franklin,
Mr.. Walter A. O'Niell, oil
the first ward, and Mr..
Eugene Pharr, OF the sixth
ward. We are supporting
them because we are con.
WINGED that they are the best
Qualified Of all those who are
seeking the nomination. |
They are representative men. |
They represent fully the in.
dustrial, business and finan.
cial interests Of the Parish of
st. Mary, and are truly repre-.
sentative Of the people who
live by the healthful care of
those interests. They know
from careful study and prac-
tice the wants of the people,
and have the coura ge and
fairness to advocate them.
They are not mere politicians
in the general meaning Of
that term, but they are loyal,
clean, upright and public
spirited citizens who will
care for the best interests of
the state and the people. We
can implicitly trust them.
Mr.. Peterman is one of orr
most successful men, com.
nencing at the lowest rung
# fortunes ladder, he, by
industry. wise INDIGNANT !
