COurdging.

Mr.. F. T. Motteler returned last
Saturday from business trip which
took him over considerable Of the
wheat area between the Columbia river
and Spokane. He says everywhere the
wheat looked fine. 1t had a good color
and was making rapid growth under
the stimulus OF the warm weather OF
the past two weeks. He was told by
wheat raisers that the ground contained
more moisture than ever before at this
time of year. Indeed almost enough
to insure a good yield, Such Of the
winter wheat had been winter damaged
has been resown to spring wheat. Also,
he says, considerable acreage of new
land and land that had lain fallow last
year is this year planted to wheat. A
very hopeful feeling prevails among the
wheat farmers.

Sheepmen Are Arriving

Leavenworth is the rendezvous for
some twenty flock owners who winter
their sheep in the lower attitudes but
come here every summer to take ad-
vantage of the government forest re-
serve as summer grazing ground for
their 1ocks. The first to arrive are M.
o. Yates, S. o. Stewart and VIM. Knox,
the latter closely followed by his first
band Of sheep. From now on they
will be coming in every week until the
last OF these fortunate individuals arrive.
We remarked Fortunate" advisedly.
You will think they are fortunate when
we tell that the selling price of wool
has about trebled since last year, not
to speak of the advance in the price Of
mutton, which has also made an altitu-
dinous record. We are glad to greet
the sheep men. They add to the
general prosperity Of the town and spend
many thousand dollars here for supplies
OF enc kind and another.

Cider Manufacturers See Ruin Ahead

If State and city officials continue
to insist that apple cider be absolutely
free from fermentation, $4,000 ap-
pie business now enjoyed by apple
growers OF Spokane Valley, Pleasant
prairie, Deer Park, and Moran prairie
will be ruined.
This is C. H. Feilberg's warning.
Feilberg is head OF the Spokane Cider
mill which uses 1880 tons a season.
Feilberg thinks the prohibition law
should be modified to permit slight
percentage of alchohol in apple cider
He declares that dealers can not keep
any quantity OF cider on hand without
its fermenting to a certain extent. And
he says that if they are to be arrested
for keeping cider with ! or Q per cent
alcohol they'll quit the business.
Cider mills in this district consume
approximately 5000 tons Of apples a
year, Feilberg estimates, and the farm
ers receive for this from the cider mills
slightly less than $4,000.

the past few days to take over all the

lieved that over two million feet oi
lumber can be cut this year. Logging
operations will begin next week under
the direction OF an experienced logging
man. The name OF the new corpora

UNCLE SAM SAYS EAT MORE CORN
Is the Most Effective Substitute for WheaI
at Our Disposal

Ordinarily the quantity Of corn pro-
duced in the United States is from
three to four times the quantity OF wheat
but only very small portion of the
crop, from five to 10 per cent-has
been used for human food. This amount
may be estimated in normal times at
about 100000, 900 bushels year. Not
over per cent has been exported in
peace times. A relatively slight in
crease in the corn acreage, therefore
will place many millions Of bushels
more OF human food at the disposal oi
the world without interfering in any
way with the feed needed for the sup
port of live stock.
In the past with an abundance oi
grain OF other kinds, corn has not been
in great demand for human consump-
ton. But with other grains no longer
abundant, circumstances will compel
more general recognition Of the value
of corr as human food. The depart
ment is strongly urging the wider use
of corn in the diet. 1t is the best sub
stitute for wheat that we have and can
be utilized in breads, mushes and va
riety OF other ways. We should make
every effort to avail ourselves Of it.

The RIGHT Mind of AmeriCaniSnl

All six sons Of Mrs. Mary Krsuse,
70 years old. OF 108 Jackson street,
Philadelphia, are now in the govern
ment service. William Krause, 80
years old, was the last OF her boys"
to enlist. While he was taking his
examination it was feared he might be
rejected. With tears in her eyes, the
mother sought Father Miles Keegan,
OF Our Lady OF Mount Carmel church,
Third and Wolf streets. Pray for my
lad," she said, so that he may pass the
test. Five Of my sons are ready to
fight for their country's honor. Won't
you pray that William will be the SIXTH"
Father Keegan prayed as he was asked.
William passed. While Mrs. Krause
is of Irish descent. her husband, Her
man, is a German, but there are no
differences over that score. The family
is united on the question OF loyalty to
this country.

LINCOLN co. OFFICERS
MAKE BIG BOOZE HAUL
Merchants, Banker and Postmaster OF
Odessa Arrested, the Latter
Wounded by Shot.

According to story current among
railroad men this week the Lincoln
county officers captured about one
hundred and twenty-five bottles OF
liquor last Sunday afternoon. The story
goes that certain Odessa business men,
among them several merchants, banker
and the postmaster had been getting
booze by rail from some point in the
east, and received it at blind siding
six miles east of Odessa. The Sheriff
Of Lincoln county got wind that a
shipment would arrive last Sunday and
himself with a couple Of deputies con-
cealed themselves and when the autos
drove up to receive their liquor he
decended on the violaters. Two Great
Northern breakmen delivered the goods.
One OF these ran and got away, the
other, Mcdonald, was taken in and
three or four others. The postmaster
also attempted to get away by running
and was ordered to halt and failing to
obey he was winged by a shot from the
sheriffs pistol and arrested. So far the
matter has been kept out of the press
but as the whole story will be aired in
the court somebody is going to get
some u enviable notoriety.

THE RED CROSS NEEDS YOUR
HHP--GIYF IT CHffRFULLY
Where Suffering is They Are First on
the Ground-Who Gives Willingly
Gives Twice

New members are enrolled every day.
There are hundreds yet in this town
who have not joined and should join.
It cost Just one dollar to become
member. Every penny Of the money
contributed will be used in mission
OF mercy. Our boys, your boy land
my boy, will soon be in the battle front
in Europe. Some of them are sure to
need, and will receive the ministrations
Of the Red Cross nurses. There are
slackers and slackers but the Red Cross
Stacker is the worst Of all. Deny your
self something to enable you to spare
dollar for the Red Cross cause. You
will feel the better for doing so. The
very name signifies sacrifice and you
ought to find a pleasure in giving to
this worth cause. DR.. Mackenzie, Of
Portland. Oregon, now in Washington
visiting the Red Cross headquarters
says:
The reserves of our American Red
Cross have been practically exhausted
by the enormous drain Of the European
war demands, and now that our own
soldiers and sailors, hundreds Of thou
sands OF them. are going to the front,
we civilians must muster all our forces
to replenish the exhausted Red Cross
stores and keep them replenished so
that our own boys may be cared for
when wounded. Our soldiers who are
marching to the front are giving all
their time and offering up their lives.
Surely the least we can do is to give
up few little luxuries and send our
dimes and dollars. to the front for am
balances. bandages, comfort bags,
medical and surgical supplies and other
Red Cross stores. If you want to save
your country, begin now to save or set
aside a generous contribution for Red
Cross week"

HARD FIGHT BEING WAGfD TO
CLASS THE APPLE AS A FOOD
Washington Representatives In the East
Believe the Apple Will Be Regarded as
a Necessary Article of Food

]. Curtis Robinson, chairman of the
Transportation Bureau of the Fruit
Growers Agency, who is now in Wash
ington D. c. and who is to appear be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and present arguments in be-
half of the fruit industry OF the North
west in opposition to the proposed in
crease of IS per cent in the freight
rates, for which application has been
made by the railroads, has wired re-
port from Washington to the effect that
in an interview with officials OF the Car
Service Committee Of the Committee
Of National Defense, he has been given
encouragement as to moving the North
western fruit crop. soft fruits as we'll as
apples, unless unforeseen conditions de-
velop to prevent.
Mr.. Robinson reports that one of the
principal officials interviewed stated
frankly that he considers apples food
product, though he stated that in his
judgment it is absolutely necessary to
provide storage at originating points,
otherwise the car shortage may be more
acutely felt even than last year.
Mr.. Robinson further reports that ac-
companied by Senator Poindexter of
Washington, call was made on Secre-
tary Houston of the Department of Ag-
riculture, and Herbert C. Hoover, who
is prominently mentioned in connection
with the position OF Food Administrator
and these gentlemen gave assurance
that every reasonable effort would be
made in behalf of the fruit industry for
the Northwest.
While the tone Of all the dispatches
from Washington would indicate tina,
the attitude Of the powers that be is
friendly and that there is every dispo-
sition naturally to regard apples and
other fruits as necessary food products,
entitled to the preference and protec-
ton which the Government has already
announced will be given food products,
it is nevertheless advisable that growers
and shippers Of the Northwest maintain
sustained campaign with view Of
keeping the importance of fruit as food
prominently before the authorities, as
we'll as the peculiarly pressing necessi-
ties Of the Northwestern fruit industry
as respects car supply. Unquestion-
ably the industries that work the hard
est for assistance and relief will get the
largest share OF it and this is certainly
no time for complaisancy and relaxation.
