4 WORTHY CAUSE.

The local Red Cross society has fin
ished its first consignment of work re-
ceived from the Spokane chapter, un-
der which jurisdiction it is working.
Some people have the mistaken idea
that the Red Cross work can be over
done. The Red Cross is not a national
organization, but international, and all
units are working together. The Red
Cross knows no distinction of country.
1t is an organization OF mercy, and con-
tributes to the relief of the suffering
and needy, whether those sufferers be
in America, Europe, Africa, Asia, or
Polynesia. Wherever war or disaster
occurs there is Red Cross work, and
the organization never fails. 1t Is
working for the central powers as we'll
as for the allies in the world war. The
demand for the material the Red Cross
supplies is so great that there is no
chance that there will be surplus
stock. Why, today, in France the hos
pital attendants are so short of sup
plies that paper is being used for
cleansing and binding wounds. The
people should redouble their efforts to
keep up the supply of material, and
every lady or Oroville and vicinity
should give up some of her time to-
ward aiding in this noble work, while
men should make personal sacrifices
contributing to the cause.

AHEAD OF TINE.

The Gazette was published on We'd
nesday of this week, two days ahead
of the regular publication day owing
TO the fact that Thursday was Flag
Day. and a general holiday in the COM
munity. Never before has a minor bol-
iday been SO generally observed, and
the reasons were that two celebrations
were calling the population, and the
population were out answering the
call. A special train left OrOville early
Thursday morning for Wenatchee.
where there were great goings on and
a large delegation took advantage of
the special rates to make that trip. On
the same day the Wauconda house
warming was billed, and score of
autos were called into service to carry
a large delegation to that place. That
was the program when the paper went
to press Wednesday, and there was no
danger of hitch in the arrangements
at that time If all left here who eX-
pressed their intentions so to do Wed
nesday. the male population of Oro-
Vile was pretty well cleaned out on
Thursday.

BACK TO THE SIMPLE LIFE,

Now what do you think of this? Our
pioneer jeweler and watch maker, E.
A. McMahan, is going to get back to the
simple life, after following his voca-
tion for many years. Some weeks ago
Mr.. McMahan and II. +. Warren made
a trip down on the south half of the
Colville reservation for the purpose of
looking over the country, sizing up the
|siuation and if the outlook appealed to
them file on government land. They
went, they looked and were conquered.
The reservation country looked good
to them, they decided to take up land
and now the two men are making ar
rangements to go upon and start i'm
proving the land they propose filing on
in September, and when you come to
figure, September is not so very far
Iaway in the hereafter. Mr.. McMahan
J has large and well assorted stock of
goods along the lines common to estab-
| lishments in the jewellery business and
he proposes closing out that stock as
rapidly as possible and at a sacrifice
so eager Is he to commence raising
corns on his hands. Whether he dis
poses of his goods or not he will pull
up stakes at the time designated. Mr.
Warren will accompany him and file or
adjoining land

FARMERS COLLEGE EXCURSION

During the last two weeks OF June
| of this year many farmers OF the state
OF Washington Will he enjoying eXcur-
sions to the state college at Pullman.
There, they will be the guests OF the
college and will be given an opportun-
| ity to see at first hand the practical
farm operations as they are followed
out at the college farm and at the ex-
pertinent station. Fine crops and fine
stock will furnish to many man the
Ineeded incentive to cause him to re-
turn to his own farm and put into prac-
tice the things that are recognized by
the successful farmer as being neces-
sary part of successful farming.
A part of week spent in just look
ing at the things that are being done
| by the other fellow will in many cases
be worth more to the given farm and
farmer than months of grinding on the
farm itself.
MANY will travel by automobile to
make the trip, and in so doing they
will traverse the famous Palouse
country and a part of the strictly dry
farm district OF the state. The time re-
quired to drive to Pullman from Okla
hogan will be, under average condi-
tions, about one and one half days; but
for those wishing to make the trip
more of an outing, more time will be
used as is seen fit by the traveller. BY
railroad, one day is sufficient to COM
lplete the trip one way from any point
in the Okanogan valley.
The details of the excursion from
Okanogan county are to be worked out
Through the office of the county agri-
cultural agent. Those who can see the
Ivalue of this kind of education and are
able to arrange their affairs to make
1.-THE trip will please notify the county
agricultural agent, so the necessary
arrangements can be completed. If you
wish to go overland, but have no car
lust make your wishes known and they
will probably be cared for by some one
Iwho will be driving through.
There is a far reaching purpose ir
this plan and it is hoped that many
will avail themselves of the opportun
Iity. Please notify the county agricul
ltural agent at an early date if you con
template making the trip, how you are
IeXpecting to go and the date that viii
be most satisfactory for you.

RED CROSS WEEK.

The president has designated the
week between June Is and 20 as Red
Gross week, and a country wide cam
paign has been organized for the pur-
pose OF raising funds to aid the work
|Of that organization. Every state in the
Union has been Subdivided into small
districts so as to secure the best and
zed effort. Guy Browne, OF Wenatchee
was appointed supervisor of the dis
trict composed of the counties OF Che
Ian. Douglas and Okanogan by the
president, and Mr.. Browne has devoted
all OF his time lately without charge
to lining up the various communities,
appointing soliciting committees ana
explaining the work OF the Red Cross.
Mr. Browne met with number OF
business men at the Civic League
buildign Monday morning, and thor
Oughly explained the necessity OF
raising large fund for the cause. the
work done by the Red Cross, and eX-
planning the part he has taken in ar
ousing interest in the movement He
stated that the sum set aside aside FOR
the three counties was some $2I 900
and urged that OrOville raise l,6OV
OF that sum. He appointed AS solicit
ing committee DR.. u. ii. Lewis, A. +.
Murray, Chas. Powell, +. M. Snider
and Mrs J. +. Samson. 1t may be added
that this committee will endeayor to
see every resident OF the town next
week, and considering the Importance
of the organization that is to be aided
every individual should contribute to
the limit of his means.
After the meeting Mr.. Browne met
a committee from MolsOn consisting OF
such we'll known residents of that
place as G. w. Mckee, G. A. Blatt,
Frank l.. Anderson, c. l.. Diamond and
G W. Brown, and made arrangements
for them to conduct the work OF solic-
iting in Nelson and vicinity. 1t is also
reported that branch Of the Red
Cross will be organized by the ladies
OF Molson.

Mrs. Riley Hurltert, OF Tonasket.
has been visiting seAth Mrs. Mitcheil- :
Allen for several days.
Twins were born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Wtniford c. lnnis. of Keremeos, at the
Oroville General hospital Tuesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. J. Desmond left
Monday morning for Seattle, where
they will visit with friends for a few
days and then 60 ON to California, and
possibly east. At Seattle they will be
joined by their daughter, Miss Bernice
Desmond, who will accompany them on
their southern and eastern trip. AS
Mr.. Desmond, just now, has more time
than money he is free to 60 as far as
he wishes and stay as long as he sees
fit, but eventually he will return to
Oroville and get back into harness. He
has been too active business man in
past years to quit at his age and grow
rusty.
The Bank of Oroville has added an
adding machine to its fixtures, pro-
duct of American genius that is almost
human in it's performances and an alb
solute necessity in the steadily in
creasing business of the bank. OF
course everybody Is familiar with an
adding machine, as it has become a
common object in every bank and
about every commercial house that
does a large business, nevertheless
there is mystery about the combina.
tions of mechanical fixtures that sur.
passes all understanding. We have
been told that the inventor went crazy
lperfecting the machine. That may be
a fiction, nevertheless, studying out
the invention must have required 6
close concentration of mind, and II
nuts followed success one could hard
ly feel any surprise.
