Reader Suggests The Echo Aim Lower

In letter received Dec. "a from
one OF our Wenatchee readers, the fol-
lowing paragraph occurred:
Those OF US who know the editor
Of The Echo and read his paper, read
with a smile the silly and gratuitous
fling the editor OF our World took this
week at The little weekly newspaper"
up the valley. I have only one criti-
cism to make OF the Echo's polite re-
joinder. You shoot over Mr.. Woods
head. II you would aim about his
feet you might penetrate that portion
Of his anatomy where most mems
brains are located"

Why Not Cut The Expense!

Washington dispatches are full Of
congressional talk about how to meet
the four hundred million dollar govern
ment deficiency. One congressman
wants to put tax on liquor and tobacco
to raise the additional funds needed.
Another wants to raise the income tax
so the burden will fall on the rich, still
another wants to put tax on Sugar,
coffee and tea, but not one, so far, has
suggested the propriety OF cutting
down governmental expenses and in
that way make the raising Of additional
money unnecessary. On the other
hand, Just now they are holding
frequent meetings and trying to deter
mine how much bacon" each
congressman can get for postoffice
building at Squedunk Hollow or
Podunk Prairie. We talk about
managers for this and that purpose
when nothing is so much needed as a
manager for the United States with the
managerial ability Of Goethals, the
financial genius Of Ford or Rockefeller
and the moral courage Of Roosevelt.

Little Likelihood of Early Peace

The capitals Of the great governments
of the world have fairly throbbed with
suppressed emotion and excitement
the past ten days. Closely following
Germany's Roumanian victory came
her peace terms to the allies. from
which President Wilson took his cue
to further the peace movement by
asking all the nations engaged in the
war to name the conditions on which
each would be willing 10 60 into a
general conference to discuss peace.
Germany very promptly countered on
our president by asking that peace
conference be called Immediately,
from which, however, the question OF
future wars would be excludud until
after peace was agreed on.
There is where peace lies with the
Damocletian sword above it hanging
by hair.
The allies have not made answer to
either the German or American propo-
sitions. It is evident. tho, that neither
OF the allies is ready for peace at this
time. England has announced that
no formal answer can be made until
there is a conference Of representatives
from India, Canada and Australia,
which could not possibly be held before
the last OF February. An English
newspaper naively remarks that Ger
many delayed her peace proposition
until after she had conquered Roumania.
England would be ready to take up the
matter OF arranging a peace after Rou-
mania was set free, while still another
says what assurance have the allies
that Germany is sincere. Her peace
proffers may only be Belgian scraps OF
paper to lull the allies into repose while
she takes a reef in her belt, builds
few submarines and trains those men
who have been released from her work
shops by the enslaved Belgians. to
make fresh attack. Never fear but
that the allies will find some ground
upon which to delay peace confab
until they can repair some Of the many
blunders made, or convince themselves
that they are outclassed by the wiley
Teutons.

More About The Waste of School
Money

A reader OF the Echo who lives at
Merritt, having read in last weeks paper
about how school money is wasted in
Chelan county writes of the way in
which the money wrung from the tax
payers is squandered in bis school
community. He says: Il read in the
last number of The Echo how Chelan
county money is wasted and squandered
and could not resist writing you about
how school money is spent in this
community. Long since I have come
to the conclusion it is a shame and
disgrace the way money is handled in
this county. Not alone in connection
with the schools but pretty much in all
branches of the county affairs. Here,
in school district No. so the school
was opened last September with one
pupil. The father of that pupil is clerk
Of the school board; his mother-inlaw
is the teacher and the pupil her grand
child. Her husband is employed to
make fires in the school building and
Mr.. Peterson makes the trails All
these are paid out of the school fund
and only two children in the district,
and also received S25 for the fuels

Geo. Sinclair left Monday for Seattle
where he will attend to business affairs.
Mrs. A. Biglow spent Christmas in
Wenatchee where she visited with her
mother.
Mrs. B. w. Taylor is enjoying a
visit from her father and sister Miss

Monday evening was well attended by
local people.
Lloyd Robinet is nursing a well
developed case OF mumps at the Hob.

L. R. Sinclair and family expect to
move to Bandon, Ore. soon. Mr.. Sin
clair left for this place some time ago.
Louis Arbogast and wife expect to
move into the o. H. Green house,
having rented the place for the coming
year.
Ellen Arbogast and Orville Headley
were married Christmas day. Both
young people are well known here
where they have host Of friends.
The churches held Christmas exer-
cises last Saturday evening. Both
houses were well filled and everybody
enjoyed the program. Each place had
a beautiful tree which was decorated
with brightly colored ornaments. After
the exercises the children and grown
ups were treated to candies and pop
corn.
The Peshastin rostoffice broke all
records this Christmas since the Office
has been established. During the
eight days before Christmas the out
going mail was much heavier than ever
before. The parcel post sent out this
year was made up Of various things.
Some sent dressed turkeys, chickens
and ducks, while great many sent so
pound boxes Of apples. Packages we're
sent to all corners Of the United States
and a number were mailed to foreign
countries and will be on their journey
for several months before reaching the
destinations. A close tab was kept on
the incoming parcels during the eight
days and also on the outgoing packages
which outnumbered those coming in
by about fifty. This shows the apple
district is in good circumstances and
everybody had money TO spend for
presents.

How the Housewife Can Stretch the

we frequently find good reading in the

small economy appeals to the thrifty
housewife. Following the high price
Of wheat, -four has taken jump and it
behooves US to make use Of SUBJ
stitutes for -four and for white bread.
Brown bread, and graham bread are
just as satisfactory as white bread and
the cost OF the -four is less.
Corn meal mush is good, nutritious
food that can be made very palatable.
Cook it thoroughly and slowly, in a
fireless cooker if you have one. Serve
with syrup. Corn meal mush can be
fried or corn meal can be made into
delicious corn bread.
Potatoes may be substituted in part
