Money LOaner Gets in Bad

In the case Of F. T. Blunck VS.. H.
L. Pfaff, in Wenatchee, well known
money loaner, wherein the charge Of
usury was made, Judge Grimsha9 rem
dered his decision last Friday. He held
that the dealings between Blunck and
Pfaff constituted usury on the part of
the latter and rendered a decision by
which Pfaff will lose double the amount
of the interest and the usurious charge.
The amount loaned to Blunck was
5000 for which Pfaff secured a $720
note and chattel mortgage. Under the
decision Blunck will pay balance due
of only $302.80 instead Of the 5000.
Pfaff will pay the attorneys fees and
costs of the suit.

LEAVENWORTH AGAIN
WINS FROM CASHMERE
Locals are Too fast FOR Cashmere High
School Team-final Score Was
II TO IL

Last Friday night in desperately
contested game the local high school
defeated the fast Cashmere high school
basketball team by a score Of 81 to IL
Up to the last five minutes the score
was very close. never varying more
than one or two points either way.
Then the locals came from behind
with their usual whirlwind finish and it
was ali over for Cashmere. The Cash
mere boys are very fast and it was al
most impossible to score against them.
Paine was the star performer for Cash
mere, tossing the three field goals
made by his team. As usual Wunder
and Hoxsey played strong game in
the back field and much Of the credit
for their teams victory belongs to them.
When things are not going well for
Leavenworth these men can be de-
pended on to drop back and take care
of the opposing forwards. McNett is
certainly playing ball this year. Mick"
has played a ring around every man
he has gone against this year. Ander-
son was of form on his free throws but
put up mighty good game on the
floor. fluffy" slipped away from the
mighty Jones for three baskets and was
in the game every minute.
Griner of Cashmere was referee and
filled that thankles job 10 the salts
faction of all. Goals from field: Nc
Nett 8; I. Wunder.3; Anderson q;
Paine 8. Fouls Anderson 5; Ester
brook 6.

Being Made

The Sunday afternoon meetings oi
the Gun Club are growing in interest
among the lovers Of ou. door sports.
At this time the club has a member
ship OF thirty-fve aud is adding to the
number every week. Trap shooting is
fine sport and good practice for those
who later on will follow birds in the
field.
A week ago a well known business
man went out to the grounds, just to
look on, but the proposition looked SO
attractive that he Immediately joined,
and it is hard now to make him stop
when it gets dark. Another insists
that he will soon be able to beat his
big brother. At the last meet two new
members joined. One Of the new mem
bers, Jos. Gangler, proved to be the
dark horse of his squad, and the sur
prise Of the meet, both to himself and
the admiring onlookers by making a
record of 18 hits out OF twenty five tar
gets. Considering that this is his first
time al the traps, it is an excellent
record.
Col. Fox was on hand and so appar-
emily interested that someone re-
marked that they had heard that the
Colonel used to get 'em" on horse
back and that's probably why they
called it fox hunt.
Following is the record Of the six
high scores for one hundred targets
made during the last four meets.

MANY THINGS TRANSFERRED LAST TUESDAY

ings of the council be posted on a
bulletin board hereafter. There was a
proviso in the resolution however to
the effect that IF it could be lawfully
done" A unanimous vote Of approval
followed.
Following this there was another res
olution on file from Mr.. Woldenburg
to cut the police force to one marshall
whose hours Of duty should be thruout
most of the night. There was some
opposition to this measure, but it car
ried by vote Of 4 to 8. Miller,
Schubert, Woldenburg and Feather
stone voted to cut the police force,
and Seeley, Snyder and Wheeler fav-
ored letting it stand as it was. The
result of this action was that Mr..
O'Larey loses his job as night marshal.
Mr.. Sampson, the day policeman, will
be on duty between the hours OF 5 p.
m. and 4 a. m.
Councilman Wheeler, working along
the lines of economy, introduced a
resolution which would lower the sal
ary Of the clerk from SIS to $40. the
treasurer from $50 to $40, the health
officer from $40 to SIS, and the two
marshalls SO each. Woldenburg OBJ
jected to this method of economizing
and succeeded in getting three other
members Of the council to vote with
him in killing the resolution, Snyder,
Seeley and Miller. This measure
would have ment a saving Of $40 a
month, or S480 a year to the city and
would have been a small loss to those
holding city Offices.
Councilman Miller introduced res
olution requiring the clerk, treasurer
and city attorney be required, in the
future, to furnish bond before taking
up their duties. This time it carried.
Upon Mr.. Woldenburg's recommen-
dation it was decided to kalsomine
and repaint the inside of the city hall.

Boxing Bill at Olympia

A ten-round boxing bill introduced
by Senator Wray, of King, is having q
hard mill. The committee on public
morals was at first disposed to swat it,
but finally reported favorably. Many
senators, however, will hand it stiff
punches, and in the house representa-
tives have wallops waiting, not tc
speak of Governor Lister, whom many
believe will land a knockout veto if the
bill ever gets in reach of his swing.

FULFILLMENT OF AMBITIOUS
 DREAM.

Reviewing the business conditions throughout the South, the Manufac- turers Record in this weeks issue re- fers to the completion of the final link of the Clinchfield Railroad through the mountains of North Carolina and the Breaks of the Sandy" to a con- nection in Eastern Kentucky with the Chesapeake X Ohio as the fulfillment of one of the most ambitious dreams of the ante-bellum South, which many years before the war vigorously work ed for the building of a through line from Charleston s. C., through the high mountain region of Western Car olina to the West. It was the belief of Hayne and other South Carolinans, who in those days projected such road, that it's building would turn the traffic of the West into the South. and that the acquiantanceship thus de- veloped would make impossible the war which some of the far-seeing men of the South were then fearing might become a reality Around the build ing of this road, now completed by the Clinchfield extension into Eastern Ken lucky, is woven more of romance, of struggles against overwhelming odds, than have probably ever attended the building of any line in this country. The first 250 miles of the Clinchfield system from Spartanburg, s. C., to Dante, Va, represents cost of about S125,000 mile, and the extension which has just been opened has been built at as high cost and probably for good many miles at much high CT figure. This 300-mile road is pro- bably the most expensive new road of that length ever constructed in this country. Thus one by one the dreams of the great business leaders of the Old South are being realized in the completion of railroads projected be- fore 1860 amt in the development of Southern ports as outlets for the vast commerce to and from the West which the far-seeing men of that generation knew the future held in store.
 At City Point, on the James River. Virginia, about 13,000 men are work ing in and on the great plant which is being built by the du Pont powder in terests. The first units in this plant are now completed and are employing about 5000 hands, while about 10000 men are engaged in construction work on other units.

HONEST ADVERTISING

The emphasis placed upon honest advertising ny the Associated Adver Using Clubs of America which recent ly met in Chicago shows how impor- tant this subject is to the country. Honest advertising is responsible for much of the growth in business that has been noticeable during recent years. Those who have not adopted a system of honest advertising are ei- ther out of business or in a fair way to quit business.
 Only the men of honor who tell the truth will be able to meet the demand of our people
 The time has passed for men to prosper without giving value Men must render service before they can expect to thrive by their intelligence and labor.
 Products that live after their manu facturers must have merit and the people must know the merits of these articles. Advertising is indispensa- ble to make known such articles. Un- less the people are told such articles exist and that they are worthy of trial there is little opportunity to es- tabish an article, no matter how much value they may have.
 The truth must be told if an adver- tiser expects consideration of the con- sumer. Articles about which the truth cannot be told are not worthy of advertising, nor will such articles ever sell in sufficient quantity and with sufficient profit to justify their manufacture.
 Responsible publications recognize the value of honesty in advertising, consequently dishonest firms with "get-rich-quick' schemes can not use such publications. Publications that have an abiding interest in their read CTS will not permit them to be swind- led.
 The advertising columns of papers. and magazines should be clean, at tractive and helpful to the readers, just as the columns of reading matter must be clean and elevating. And publishers that would impose upon their readers by accepting obsene, dishonest and questionable advertising are not worthy of the confidence of their readers.
 Readers are more discriminating than ever before. They will not sub scribe for and read publications that accept all kinds of questionable ad- vertisements. The time has come when the home will demand high ideals.-Farm and Ranch.

PARsoN LOOKED, BUT IN VAIN.
His Heart Grieved Over Fashionable
 FoiIies of His Wife.

A typical parson of long ago, the sternly consistent man who sounded consciences regardless of conse- quences, figures in a recent book of "reminiscences, "Old Schuylkill Tales" by Mrs. Ella Zerbey Elliott.
 Parson M, one of the early minis ters of Pottsville, Pa, was never more earnestly eloquent than when preach ing against the love of dress. His wife, Mrs. M, who was a handsome woman, nevertheless wore very elabo- rate gowns, and openly avowed her in- terest in such frivolities. The parson eXpostulated against this love of dress in private, but although she was an excellent wife, and obedient to his wishes in other respects, she pursued her own way, in silk and lace.
 One Sunday morning the minister preached sermon on humility, and bore down upon the vanities of dress most powerfully. At the conclusion he leaned over the high board of the pulpit his face pale and determined.
 You may think" he said to his congregation, when l preach against the love of dress and the sin of it that I ought to look at home. I want to tell you, dear friends, that I do look, and look until my heart aches. "- Youths Companion.

 Cold Bedrooms Make Rosy Cheeks.

beauty doctor paus1ng to change the roller in an electrical massage ma chine, said with a sigh:
 Tt is true, madam, that my art brings to your cheek a transient flush and bloom, but I can do nothing for you, really, till you stop sleeping in an overloaded bedroom. Won't you change to a cold room?
 "The secret of the English complex ion is not the moist climate. We have districts as moist as a wet sponge, and in them our women go about with faces like old leather. No, the Eng fish secret is the cold bedroom In England, with the open fires, heated bedroom is unknown.
 "There they sleep all night, under heavy blankets, with open windows, the body warm the head cool, the lungs inhaling the pure, cold, winter air, As a result, they awake in the morning with shining eyes and cheeks like roses"
 The beauty doctor turned on the current and began to iron out an eye wrinkle.
 50 should we awake she said, If we removed the radiators from our bedrooms. And then our skins would no longer be dry, opaque and yellow, but a clear pink like the petal of rosa.
