TRAIL OF THE SERPENT.

Parties down from Nelson, who at
tended the socalled temperance lee
ture delivered last week at that place
by H. T. Laughbaum, were emphatic
in their denunciation of the pro-Ger-
man sentiments expressed by the
speaker. From the reports made it
would appear that the lecturer was
even more radical in his utterances at
Nelson than at this place, and what he
said here was enough to condemn him
among all loyal citizens. Among other
things he resorted to misrepresenta-
tion at Nelson in order to interfere
with food conservation, by declaring
that most of the sugar sent to England
was turned over to the breweries. This
was bald falsehood, for he knows that
in England there is food commission
that is very strict in handling and con.
serving all food stuffs that enter that
country. But that was not the worst
feature of his dislOyal remarks. In the
audience were a number of lady men,
bers of the Red Cross, SO earnest IN
carrying on the good work that they
and were engaged in knitting articles
for tie protection and comfort of the
boys in the trenches while listening to
the lecture. Laughbaum, with a con-
temptable lack of good taste. had to
mention the Red Cross in manner
that would be construed to reflect up
on that organization, and declared that
there would be nothing for the Red
Cros sto do if there were world wide
prohibition. He dealt in inunendoes,
reflections upon the president, food
conservation and the Red Cross, yet
vas careful to insist at the beginning
Of hi saddress that he was loyal cit
i"en, although both himself and wife
were Germans. AS temperance lee
turer he is doing infinite harm to a
worthy cause, and the trend of his lee
ture leaves the impression that he is
using prohibition as a cloak for sedi
ton. A number Of exchanges coming to
this office from towns IN which Laugh
baum delivered lectures devote con-
siderable space to denouncing his dis
loyal utterances. The national and
state authorities are delict in their
duty to the soldiers at the front in per-
mitting this man to spread seed of dis
cord through the country at time
when every man and woman should be
standing shoulder to shoulder behind
those lads.

A JOLLY MARINE.

The following are extracts from a
letter just received from our young
friend Ralph E. Wilkins, who, after
many efforts to get into the service.
at last was able to sign up with the
marines, and judging from his letter
he is we'll satisfied with his choice. By
the-way, about all letters from the
boys are carefully scrutinized, and
this one is marked passed by censor"
Marine Barracks, Mare Island, Cal.
The always welcome Gazette duly
received and was pleased to note the
amount subscribed toward the Liberty
Loan, also that most of those who
cheerfully subscribed were those that
need the cold cash.
The Marine Corps" of Mare Island.
however, have something to brag
about. We had at the time of the call
between 1900 and 100 men in camp.
and we subscribed over $4,000.
which l consider some record, the
lowest section averaged $4S to the
man, and l subscribed for a $100 bond.
which has to come out of my monthly
spending money which "Sam" is kind
enough to give us boys.
I'll tell you one thing, the Marine
Corps is not excelled by any branch of
the service.
We have a football team that has
never tasted defeat. We have played
six games and have never had touch
down scored on us, and only one team
scored field goal. The usual score
was q to 0. Our team is to play
team at Camp Lewis the 10th, and
watch the score board for results
Whenever they can put anything over
on the marines they will have to lay
awake nights for considerable period
reflecting.
l suppose L., is plased that he is on
his way, for a soldier sure is troubled
with itching feet, for the boys here are
all keen for crack at the Germans.
I hope all the boys in the service
from around Oroville receive the Ga
zette. for it surely lets them know
what is going on at home.

GOOD FOR THE BOYS.

Our high school boys are made OF the
right stuff. The high school athletic
association is down to bed rock IN the
n,ater of funds. The community mas
been called upon so frequently OF late
for money that the boys decided that IL
would not meet with cheerful response
if they importuned the public for ASSIST
ance at this time. In the dilemma "
hannv though struck the boys. They
would go out among the people, sollcl'
work. and turn their wages lnto the
association treasury. Tuesday AFTER
noon was selected as the date Tor the
soliciting work, and the entire force OF
voune lads found no difficulty in Sc
curing employment, as the citizens aa-
mired their pluck and were willing 10
make work for them, even where tha'
work was not absolutely necessary
rbrougb that source quite respect
obla sum was realized for the assocla
tion This paper commends the spir''
and the pluck of the high school stu,
donts and feels that the spirit ano
nlucl, will have it's effect in giving the
nroville school a high standard OF
athletics this term.
