DANGEROUS TO SHIP SOFT CORN

DANGEROUS TO SHIP SOFT CORN
The United States Department of
Agriculture has been advised that a
large amount of soft corn arriving at
large grain markets in the Middle
West is in danger of spelling. Owing
to congestion of terminals at these
points, railroads are unable to deliver
corn promptly to drying plants where
it can receive proper care. This corn
is especially liable to get out of con-
dition while being held on trade dur
ing warm weather.
In order to prevent the spoilage of
such soft corn it is recommended that
until cold weather sets in farmers and
country shippers delay the movement
of such soft corn from the field unless
conditions at the point to which the
corn is shipped are such that the corn
can be given quick attention for con-
| ditioning.

An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken the stomach
will rebel. When a man reaches the
advanced age of IS or 80, you will
find that he is a light eater. Be as
careful as you will, however, you will
occasionally eat more than you should
and will feel the need of Chamber
lain's Tablets to correct the disorder.
These tablets do not contain pepsin,
but strengthen the stomach and enable
it to perform it's functions naturally.
They also cause a gentle movement
of the bowels.

THANKSGIVING

emergency, it seems TO US that one
of the splendid ways in which to
show ones thankfulness as an Amer
lean, is by giving to this government
of ours the maximum of effort in CO.
operation of which one is capable.
That is the reason we are attaching
to this article a communication from
the United States Food Administra-
ton on "What Americans Should
Know" and What Americans Should
Do"
There comes to US the thought that,
after all, the literal meaning of
Thanksgiving" would indicate that
one should actually give their thanks
why not give them then in co-opera-
ton such as the Food Administration
asks for; give them in concrete gifts
to the Red Cross, the Y. NJ C. A, in
actual personal service where such
service is called for.
If we are truly thankful, let US say
so by our actions and gifts as well
as by words and the appreciation of
a big dinner.
Herewith is the communication
from the National Food Administra-
ton referred to in the foregoing
which we pass on as appropriate fol
"Post- Thanksgiving" consideration -
and action:

STUBBORN FIRE.

At about $50 Sunday evening the
dred alarm of fire sent the population
scurrying to the warehouse district,
along the railroad right-of-way, somc
two blocks east of the depot, where
| fire had broken out In the warehouse
owned by E. McCammon a two story
frame structure originally built for the
storage of beer, and recently used for
the storage of hay and produce. The
building has double walls and Is al
most air tight, and only once or twice
did the flames break out of the roof.
As no air could enter the building the
fire smouldered, threw out dense
smoke and was somewhat difficult for
the firemen to handle. A lead Of hose
was hid from the plug in front OF the
Woodbury. Lumber company's office.
and owing to delay 1t was some time
before water was turned on. When
once the firemen got to work the
flames were soon extinguished, the fire
being confined to the second floor.
The building contained bailed hay.
corn, potatoes, beans and feed meal.
and the contents owned by Geo. Pulls.
L. F. Pourtales, J. w. Smith, A. J.
Taylor, the Union Title and Trust Co.
and McCammon, who also owned the
building. Insurance of $3.50 was car
ried upon the contents and 5000 on the
building. Some of the produce was not
injured. The loss will amount to some
thing like $1,000. The potatoes were
on the ground floor and were only
damaged by water. The hay was badly
damanged, also the corn and beans.
Two hundred empty sacks were de-
stroyed.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
Some are of the opinion that 1t was
caused by spontaneous combustion. al
though Mr.. McCammon feels convinc-
ed that it was the work of an incen-
diary. The building will be repaired as
soon as the losses are adjusted.

RAISE MORE HOGS.

nation wide movement has been
launched to increase the 1918 supply
OF pork. In order that there will be
supply OF pork sufficient to meet the
demand it will be necessary to in
crease the number of breeding stock
very greatly Almost every household
can furnish enough slops and refuse
to keep at least one hog if this one
be bred gilt/or SOW, and the off
spring carefully tended, it will go a
long way toward meeting the demand
for more pork.
However, it is the farmer on whom
the greatest responsibility rests, and
he is the one who is going to do his
country a great service by showing
himself ready and willing to shoulder
this responsibility.
Now, there are few items for care
full consideration: Total yield of pork,
Okanogan county, 1915, 624O head.
Total yield of pork this county 1917,
1894 head. Decrease in two years, of
2346 head.
past two years there has been a de-
crease in the production of swine in
this county of 2346 head, or a falling
off of over 37.5 per cent. What is true
in this county is also true in all 9TH
er counties of the state, and in nearly
every state in the Union. We must in
crease the production at least 81 per
cent before we are up to our normal
standard of production.
Without going into detail for a COM
plete discussion as to all reasons for
this enormous shortage it is self evil
dent that large percentage of the
decrease has been caused by the send
ing of so great an amount of breeding
stock to the block. From Investigations
by the county agent it has been found
that many gifts, few of them Bred
and number of sows are even yet be-
ing sent to the market, regardless of
the increasing demand for this class
of stock by the breeders.
1t behooves every farmer to save all
of his female swine. If you have more
that you feel that you are able to keep
and breed and have not a market for
them in you rown community, if you
will notify the county agricultural
agent he will be able to place them for
you with some other breeder. There
are inquiries coming into the office al
most daily from men who wish to Sc
cure breeding swine.
There is ample assurance on the
part of the government food admins
tration that We shall be certain of a
high price for pork for several years,
especially during the coming year,
1918.

And, say; those apples! | never
thought much of an apple until | saw
those, and now my hat is always off
to Washington apples. They were in
very good shape, and talk about any,

prettier than all the girls in Mary

boys made me take it outside so they
could take pictures of it. Col. Johnson

We put up an orance beside an apple

Mr. Schultz mentions the fact that
the regiment expects to go to Wash
ington, d. c., in few days to do guard
duty.
He states that his squad had been
under quarantine for some time on
account of measles, but expected the
quarantine to be raised in a few days.
He sends long clipping from an
eastern daily paper in which the 23rd
Engineers are extolled to the skies for
efficiency in the short time the regi-
ment has been organized. Especially
are the boys becoming skillful on the
rifle range. The paper says: that for
nearly month the soldiers of the 23rd
Engineers have been smashing targets
and rolling up high scores at the An
napolis shooting ground The result is
that many of them now wear the much
coveted medal which designates them
as expert riflemen."

Those who were present at teh bas-
ket ball game last Thursday night be-
tween Waterville and the home team
saw one of the fastest and most excit-
ing games that has been played on
the floor in many days. The game at
the end of the first half stood eight to
nine in favor of Waterville. About
three minutes before the end of the
second half the game was seventeen
to eighteen in favor of Waterville
Then the Waterville boys made a final
rush which put the score % to IS in
their favor. There were numerous
fouls on both sides, which proved to be
advantageous to Waterville, as their
man missed but one goal from the foul
line while Oroville missed every one
but about one. Waterville has a fine
team and there is no complaint on the
part of the boys.
The yell leader of the home team
proved traitor in the camp as he put
in his time leading the yells for the
Waterville team. The high school stus
dents came near mobbing him at the
end of the game. This is a time when
disloyalty is looked upon with frown
even in school work.

the next morning. 1t was there that the

also that the big shells fell danger

good health and uninjured.
We all realized that our trip had

paid us and the things shown us. As
chairman of the party l can saw that
we were shown everything that we
asked to see. All of the governments
OFFICIALS of the English, French and

that men could do for, us. In fact the
most difficult thing often was to decide
what should be omitted from that

our lack of time. We went to see the
war as 1t is and our trip was a wonder
ful success. The German, French Eng
hsh and Begian helmets; the gas
masks, rusty guns and sabers. the
pieces Of shells and shrapnel we all
Drought back as relics serve as mute
reminders of the hundreds of sights
and experiences which can never he
forgotten. We all recognized. always
that the wonderful courtesies shown lie
and the honors paid us, were not for
us as individuals, but because we were
representatives of the 100000, 900 of
Americans whom the people of those
countries love and swear by.
My present plans are to come home
at Christmas time and wherever and
Wherever have the opportunity to ad-
dress meetings and tell the people in
greater detail of what l saw. know
exactly what our boys must face. what
they need and what the work to be
done is.
The supreme duty of the present is
for every American to aid and support
MS country in every way possible in
winning this war. We may differ soma
times as to methods and policies to be
followed before the policy has been
determined upon, but once the major
ity have spoken, all differences should
end in a whole-hearted and united sup
port that victory and peace may be the
more quickly won.

Summit Avenue, w. V. Champneys, an
aged Okanogan farmer, began suit in
the Superior court yesterday to re-
cover SAL 900 from 7. l.. Irwin.
"Champneys alleges in mis- complaint
that in April, 1916, Irwin learned that
he was desirous of exchanging his
farm for Seattle property, represented
that the Carlisle Apartments were
worth $4,000 and were earning $5,OS6
net annually. The plaintiff asserts
that after the exchange was made and
he had assumed an Indebtedness of
$23,50O he learned that there were
mortgages amounting to $23,50O upon
the premises and that many of the
apartments were untenanted. He as
serts that Irwin has sold the farm
obtained in the trade and asks the
court for money judgment.
"Champneys says that he is 50 years
old and was not at the time of the
familiar with real estate val
ues in Seattle"

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

Just what is community cooperation
anyhow? Who does 1t benefit? How
does it help the individual?
Let us see. Any community whose
residents band together and through
the strength of their combined effort
accomplish things from which all are
benefited is practicing community CO.
operation. II this community spirit
this working of each for the good Of all
is continued harmoniously the result
in the long run is bound to be good for
all.
Villages, towns and communities are
rated a s'live" or dead" according to
the rate of development they show.
One man or one family cannot make
community progressive. 1t takes a
majority. You cannot take the attitude
of Indifference if you wish to see your
home town classed as live town. The
harder you and all your neighbors
fight for progress the surer you are 10
reap the good that progressive team
work brings. A good, wide-awake town
is sure sign of public spirited, wide-
awake citizens living in it and around
it.
The spirit of "let we'll enough alone"
never accomplished anything. The
spirit Of "lets make things better" is a
sovereign remedy against retrogres-
sion.
One way of bettering your home
| town is open always and to ALL This is
it: Keep your trade as nearly as may
| be in your home town. As we have
pointed out before, a good portion Of
every dollar spent in your local stores
helps in the support and development
of your own neighborhood. Increased
local business makes possible more
public conveniences, more educational
religious and social advantages, and
as natural consequence, increased in
dividual opportunity and wealth.
