ORIGIN OF A POPULAR HYMN.

The following illustration given
by D. L. Moody suggests the true
origin of P. P. Bliss hymn, "Let
the Lower Lights Be Burning: "a
ship on Lake Erie, bound for Cleve-
land harbor, was overtaken by a
storm, and as they neared the port
the pilot could only see the upper
light-the light from the lighthouse
streaming to them through the storm
and darkness. The lower lights were
not b~urning--the pilot could not see
how to steer into the harbor. 1t
was impossible to sail back again up
on the lake; the ship had to go for
ward and for the want of the lower
lights along the. shore, the vessel,now
at the mercy of the huge, roaring
waves, was dashed to pieces on the
rocks, and many of the crew per-
ished before help could reach them.
P. P. Bliss was associated in those
early days with d. L. Moody in
Christian work, and he must have
heard Mr.. Moody use this illustra-
ton, which gives a beauty to it's
meaningA-The Christian Herald.

TRAINS DELAYED FROM EAST

All west bound trains have been
from two to eight hours late the
last four or five days, and on We'd
nesday No. l was abandoned alto
gether. The arrival of mail has
been annoyingly irregular.
Up to the present time the snow
fall here has been light. Although
some two foot has fallen, at this
time there is only about three in
ches on the level. Thursday it
rained all day and half the following
night. This morning the sun came
out cheerfully bright. To sum up
weather conditions the past two
weeks we might add that it has been
badly scrambled Sunshine, rain,
hail and cold was experienced every
twenty four hours. About the only
thing we can boast of is that it was
unaccompanied by wind.

BANK EARNINGS

Earnings of national banks for
the fiscal year ending last June 30,
were 1867 100000, the greatest in
their history, and SIG, ,764,000, or 1S
per cent more than for the previous
year, according~to compilations made
public by comptroller of the curren-
cy, Williams.
The money deposits of Seattle are
the largest in its history. At the
last call made by the comptroller
on Nov. 20, a tabulation of reports
of Seattle banks made by John E.
Price and Co. shows total deposits
of more than $1200O0,000
A special appeal is made by the
president to eligible state banks that
they become members of the federal
reserve system in order to contrib
ute towards fortifying the nation
to meet financial strains growing
out of war requirements

THE MOTTELER WAREHOUSE
BUSY PLACE THESE DAYS
Apples On Two Floors-15,0 900 Yet
To Be packed-Will Require
Community Packing Plant
In Another Year

Car shortage and scarcity of la
Dor has interfered with the prompt
movement of the apple crop of this
part of the Wenatchee Valley as it
has with every other fruit section in
the state. AS a consequence some
twenty five thousand boxes are
held in storage and are packed and
prepared for shipment when cars
can be had. The railroad has ia
ken the restrictions off the loading
of cars this year, and instead of
$50 boxes to the car they have been
Leading from seven to eight hundred,
and even more to the car. Both
floors of the Motteler warehouse are
full of apples just as they came
from the orchards, between fifteen
and twenty thousand boxes. Tom
Darling, with a helper or two, is
packing on the upper floor. On
the lower floor Mr.. S. r. Harold,
with two packers, two helpers and a
sorter has undertaken to pack some
ten or fifteen thousand boxes. Mr..
Harold has much experience in this
line having followed the packing of
lemons and oranges in California,
and more recently packed apples in
Idaho. He also had charge of a
community packing plant in the
Okanogan country and is therefore
qualified to take charge of a COM
munity packing plant, such as the
growers of this vicinity will be com
PEELED by force of circumstances to
install, against the time when
another crop of apples comes on to
be housed and packed.
Between twenty-five and thirty
cars of the apples grown in this vi
cinity will go thru the Motteler
warehouse this seacon. Other ship
ments will amount to approximately
as much, so that this seasons apple
crop will come close to sixty cars.
All the orchards tributary to Leav-
enworth are young and not yet IN
the full bearing stage, while many
orchards are just beginning to bear.
Speaking of the quality of the ap-
pies grown here, Mr.. Harold said
they compared with the best grown
anywhere and surpass in size, color
and quality the apples of less fa-
vored sections.
At the rate cars are supplied now
| two three and four cars a week,
there may be apples here the first
of the year.

duced-PurpOse Is to Release
Labor and Promote Thrift

Every merchant in the state will
shortly be asked to subscribe to a
set of resolutions just drawn up by
merchant members of the CONNER
cial economy committee, state coun-
ell of defense. The resolutions will
go into effect January l. They fol-
low:
1. That all stores make only one

2. That all stores extend credit
for not to exceed thirty days.
8. That all stores emphasize eco
nomical goods and staples in their
windows and interior displays, and
in their advertising.
4. That all stores adopt nine

5. That all stores keep minimum

ger accounts.
6. That all stores unite locally to

tions in advertising form.
The first five resolutions, if adop-
ted generally, will release hundreds

LOCAL RED CROSS WORK

The local Red Cross Chapter this
week received a letter from Mrs.
Lusy H. Hilton, Director Woman's
Bureau urging all chapters to send
in all knitted material on hand and
to continue sending in the knitted
garments as rapidly as possible. The

weather coming on and the urgent
need for warm garments. There was
also received a communication from
Mr.. C. D. Stimson, Manager North
west Division, stating that there is
need for more Xmas packages for the
soldiers and sailors at home and ask
ing the Leavenworth people to send
as many as possible. They will reach

socks, 8 mufflers, pair wristlets
OF this amount the Peshastin aux

quest from Headquarters.

SOLDIER, SAILOR INSURANCE

If a soldier or sailor is killed,
and he has a wife and children, the
Government will provide compensa-
ton for the wife, so long as she
remains unmarried, and support for
the children until they become 1S
years of age. These payments range
from S25 for a widow alone to S57
for widow and four children. If
the man is totally disabled the gov
ernment will make a fixed monthly
payment to him ranging from $50 a
month, if is married, to S75 a
month, if he has a wife and three
or more children. Should he be so
helpless as to require a nurse or
attendant he will be given up to $50
additional. Should he lose both feet
both hands, or both eyes, or be per-
manently bedridden, he will be paid
500 a month, whether he is bach
elor or married.

FOOD PRICES IN GERMANY

The percentage increase in the
cost of living in Germany since the
war has been greater than in any
other nation. Illicit trade prices
have attained to a dizzy height but
even with those under government
control the price is proving serious
to the poor.

Leipsic paper makes comparison of
prices before the war and in 1911

NAVY NEEDS BINOCULARS

The Navy Department wants your
binoculars, spy-glasses and tele-
scopes. Old ones can be used as
we'll as new. If the glass is salts

old lenses. France and Germany
have always supplied American high
power glasses; America must now
supply her own. To meet this
emergency, owners of observation
glasses of any sort are asked to
send them to their state council of
defense.
