Cavalry Co. for WenatChee

Chelan county's representative, Mr..
Pool, is in communication with the
Wenatchee Commercial club about the
propriety Of having Wenatchee
designated as one of the points where
a state national guard cavalry company
shall be recruited. In the event the
measure is adopted the federal gov
eminent will as soon as the troop is
mustered, the Federal Army Depart
ment issues uniforms and full equip
ment including thirty head Of horses,
which are fed and cared for by the
government. A regular army officer
is placed in charge to instruct and
drill the troop.

bill over the presidents veto received
no more enthusiastic support in the
house than was contributed by
Congressman Roscoe c. McCulloch Of
Ohio, who by his voice and vote did
all in his power to condemn the
presidents action. He believes that
the greatest good that we can gain
from immigration is to have the i'm
migrats willing to become American
citizens. In this day and age, said
he, the immigrant who has not
learned to read and write 80 words in
his own language is not likely to begin
to qualify himself in literacy after he
reaches this country, Representative
McCulloch did what he could to assist
in the original passage. Of the bill, and
the criticisms OF the president have
failed utterly to cause him to change
his views.

LEAVENWORTH GOOD SITE
FOR PAPER MAKING MILL
Present Local Demand for 100 Cars Will
Be Doubled in Five Years-Cheap
Water Power and Abundance
of Timber the Inducement

The Wenatchee World Of Tuesday
devoted a page to showing the natural
advantages of Leavenworth in cheap
power, pure water and abundance Of
suitable timber for a paper making
mill. With so many other things to
think about and exploit this paper has
not recently called attention Of Leaven-
worth's advantages as location for the
paper making industy. The scarcity
of paper and the high prices once more
makes the question a live one. Ac-
cording to the figures obtained by the
World there is now used approximately
fifty cars Of paper in this valley for
wrapping and packing fruit, ten to
fifteen cars in the printing trades, and
in mercantile lines, for wrapping and
building purposes ten to twenty cars,
so it is not far from the truth say the
present local consumption Of paper is
not far from one hundred cars per year.
The growing fruit industry will in
another five or six years require double
the present quantity.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
BOWERSOX' GOOD MOVE
viii Endeavor to Have Law Passed to
Stop Waste of School Money Where
there are Only d or S Pupils

The following from the Wenatchee
World OF Monday last is in line with
what this paper has advocated for a
long time. If enacted into law it will
stop some OF the waste Of school money
under the present law. The folly and
expense OF keeping up school in dis
tricts where from one to five children
reside is unsound economy. Superin-
tendent Bowersox has started some
thing good.
County Superintendent of Schools
E. c. Bowersox is trying to locate a
method whereby the children living
great distances from schools may re-
ceive some relief There are several
districts in this county that are main
tanning schools with less than five pu-
pills enrolled. Mr.. Boxersox' idea is
to have the state authorize school
boards to pay something toward the
expense that these children would be
put to in moving to places for the win
ter where schools are maintained either
in the same or in some other district.
The expense to the districts would be
much less than under the present sys-
tenn. There would also be the added
advantage Of a better school for the
children states Mr.. Bowersox, as in
some cases it would also be better for
school boards to pay some of the ex-
penses OF the children going to dis
tant school,
1t is quite likely that these condi-
tions exist in various other parts Of the
state so the matter was taken up with
the state superintendent Of schools,
Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, who
states that bills have been introduced
in the legislature which will cover the
needs in transportation and the board
ing Of pupils in rural districts when the
best interests OF district may be sub
served thereby

classed their appointments at every
stage Of the game and when the final
whistle blew the score stood 81 to 10
in favor OF the home team. Hoxsey

boy has plenty Of the old pep and
his basket eye is good, so its two to
one shot that he'll make some one 20

give all the men an even break. A

Oil and Gas in Grant County

According to reports of the oil and

a deposit OF the stuff to induce eastern
capitalists to investigate the field. II
either oil or gas is found in sufficient
quantity it will be developed, and We
natchee and other towns in the vicinity
are figuring on piping the gas to their

the problem. This may lead to bill

will provide for the construction OF per-

allow them to collect one cent per
mile for all automobiles that travel over

Austin E. Griffiths, former council
man and chief OF police Of Seattle, is
here urging the passage of Senator
Peter Iverson's bill, S. B. 25, which
would amend the constitution so as to
permit the state to make loans for farm
development purposes.
Discussing the farm credit scheme,
Mr.. Grifiths said today:
Tine plan was to borrow money on
the credit of the state at low interest
and long time, to loan to farmers on
long time and slightly higher interest
with small annual payments on the
principal, so that at the end OF the
term, usually thirty-six and one-half
years, the whole loan was repaid.
This example has been followed in
most civilized countries. The federal
rural credits act is an instance. The
state constitution forbids credit lend
ing. To do as the federal government
and foreign countries do, an amend
ment is necessary"

REOPENING OF APPEALS INTER
ING WITH SERVICE.

1.-The unrestricted reopening of
cases of men not yet indicted into
military service is delaying the rails
ing of the army and the reopening
of cases of men already so indicted
is interfering with its training"
said Provost Mershal General
Crowder in a message to Adjt. Gen.
Ellis, clamping down again on the
wholesale efforts to get drafted
men out of the army. ample time
has now elapsed for the adjustment
of the conditions which prompted
the reopening of cases, where it was
claimed boards had exceeded their
discretion or the conditions of the
selective CONSUMPTION had been vio-
lated
He says 1.-THE great number of ap-
peals to the President suggests that
there must be still a great number
of appeals pending before district
boards" and he suggests that law
yers be asked to volunteer their SER
vices to go over the claims and brief
them in a summary, which, practic-
ed in Washington, has resulted in
cleaning up the docket rapidly.
Persons already indicted into
military service, claiming that the
draft board had exceeded its juris-
diction or substantially violated the
law in his case, may lay his case be-
fore the commanding officer of his
camp within seven days after arri-
val.
Ten days are allowed for reopen
ing cases, where a man has not yet
been indicted into service, and in
the future man will have seven
days after notice from the local or
district board to appeal with per-
mission of the Adjutant General Of
the State.

mornings feeling bad and would
have spells of weakness and dizzi-

good to me, and I always was in
misery after eating. I'd have a sick,
dull feeling in my stomach.
well, since taking Tanlac, I
sleep seven or eight hours every
night without waking and get up
in mornings feeling ready for my
work. The spells of weakness and
dizziness are gone and I can walk
sight or ten blocks now without tir-
