SEATTLE.-The United States Gov

SEATTLE.-The United States Gov
eminent through its Washington
state representative is endeavoring
10 make it plain to the people of
The Pacific Northwest that this coun-
try is in for long and serious war
with Germany, and if it is to be won
there must be still greater economy
oracticed in every household for the
conservation of the food supply and
that the farms, large and small must
be made to yield crops in greater
abundance. The demand for food
on the part of our allies not only
FOR human consumption but to keep
their stock from starving to death,
has never been as urgent as it is to-
lay, and every citizen in the coun-
Try is being asked to do their share
towards seeing that this demand is
met. One of the urgent necessities
Of the country today is more pork,
for local as well as for European
consumption. A statewide move
nent is now on foot to induce every
boy, in a position to do so, to go in
for hog raising. 1t is pointed out by
the Government that every boy who
raises few pigs is doing as much
COR his country as the soldier who
goes to the front. Pork is going to
be high for the next three or four
years and while feed continues high
there is still good margin OF profit
in hog raising. An instance OF this
is to be found in the case of boy
residing at Toppenish, Wash, who
borrowed money from the bank to
go into the hog raising business, and
within a few months he was able
10 pay back his loan and show a
profit of more than one hundred dol
lars. The Tacoma City Council, to
forward the hog raising movement,
has Just voted to permit its city res
idents to raise hogs in their back
Yards. AS result of this action man
Y people have already acquired a
pig or two and will do their share
towards contributing to the nations
hog supply. The Government strong
ly urges every citizen who can do
so to keep at least one pig.

CAPTURED U. s.
TROOPS RESCUED

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Dec. 5.-Among many cpl
sodes related in connection with the
Cambria fighting was that involving
so American and Canadian engineers
together with some British fighting
troops.
Tommies to Rescue. sf
These men were cut off in the
German turning movement near
Gouzeaucourt and were taken pris-
oners. The German escort of 20
soldiers or more started with the
men along the road leading from
Gouzeaucourt to Cambrai.. AS they
were proceeding disconsolately to-
ward the zone of the German prison
cages they came upon a small body
of British troops who had also been
cut off from their comrades and
were wandering about.
The British Tommies Immediately
charged toward them. The Germans
tried to drive their captives off to-
ward La Vacquerie, but the prisoners
hurled themselves upon their guards
and struggled barehanded until the
Tomlnies arrived and disposed of the
Germans. The engineers and their
comrades took the German rifles
and worked their way back with
their rescuers until they were able
to reach a point where they could
join the British line.
Scatter Machine Gunners.
A party o Americans and Canadi-
ans also had an exciting time in a
motor lorry, which, coming unexpect
eddy upon six Germans holding the
cross roads with machine guns,
charged at full speed, tank like, howl
ing over the surprised enemy and
escaping down the road before the
Germans recovered from their shock
and fright.
The engineers were among the
army men from the United States
who did their bit toward checking
the most intense part of the German
counter-attack at Cambria.
Not less than 10 American army
medical officers were working in
the British casualty station along
Gouzeaucourt front. In fact they
had been laboring there since Gener-
al Byng began his great offensive.
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1917-12-06

Seattle proposes to try to have the
city council impeach Mayor Gill.
Every newspaper in the city is in
favor of it and dozen civic bodies
are working with the masses to
bring about Gill's impeachment. 1t
is understood that number of the
city council favor ellis impeach-
ment regardless of whether the nee
essary legal evidence is forthcom-
ing. They point out that Gill is Civ
ing the city very bad administra-
ton and that it will continue bad so
long as he is Mayor. Gill entered
into an agreement during the past
week to remove the present Chief
of Police and permit the Government
to name his successor, but he chang
ed his mind after some reflection
and repudiated the agreement. 1t is
quite evident that the Government
has no intention of permitting its
soldiers at Camp Lewis to visit Sc
attle so long as moral conditions in
the city remain as bad as they are.
Gill will not correct them, and as a
result Seattle is beginning to suffer
financially. Hundreds of soldiers
who have been coming to the city
for the weekend and spending their
money are now refused permission
to visit the city. When you hit Sc
attle's pocketbook its citizens sit up
and take notice, consequently every
body is in favor of ellis impeach-
ment. Organized labor has several
representatives in the city council
and Gill has a good stand-in with
local organized labor leaders, but it
is not believed that this organization
can save him in the present crisis.

BACKYARD RABBIT
HOOvER'S SERVANT

The backyard rabbit is Hoover's
faithful servant, according to Miss
Maize Wilson, district Boys and
Girls Clubs leader. The rabbit pro-
duces meat at IN cents a pound
dining on table scraps, carrot and
beet tops and clover that no one else
could possibly want.
After becoming a member of the
Rabbit Club a boy or girl can buy
pair of rabbits for from two to
four dollars, depending on the breed.
Everyone knows the rabbits partial
ity toward large families, and with
the help Of the club the young rab-
bits may be grown quickly. Accord
ing to recent experiment chickens
that were hatched on the same day
rabbits were born took a month
longer to be ready for eating and
contracted a grocery bill several
times as large.
Gardening and Canning Club
members are joining Animal Clubs
for the winter and finding pigs,
sheep, chickens, and rabbits more
companionable than the converse
tionless potato or fruit jar.
A Douglas county member of the
Bird Club believes in dividing her
prize money. Out of three-dollar
prize received for a bird house she
spent one dollar for bird feed, one
dollar for lumber to build more bird
houses, and kept one dollar herself.
