National Bank
To Organize a
Federal Land Loan Association

I'VE wish to announce to the Farmers of Brookings
W County that we are going to organize a Farm Loan
Association, so farmers can secure their farm loans
at 5 per cent interest with no commission.
We have set aside August 18th, to have the farmers
call at the First National Bank on August 18th, and
will explain fully the workings of the Association, and
will form an Association that day and get the Farm
Loan Association organized.
This is a chance to get your loan for from S years to
40 years at 5 per cent interest, no commission, and any
not mature for two years you may join just the same,
it does not cost you one cent to join, all you have to do
is to join the Association, and it takes ten farmers to
make application to complete the organization.
Don't fail to call at the First National Bank any time
on August 18th, as Mr.. Cobel will explain this fully to
all who call.
This Association is under direct control of the United
States Federal Land Bank Association.

Many of the foreigners are extreme

when there is work to be done, accord
ing to the officers. observes the Bos-
ton Herald. On the other hand, If they
desire pass or any similar official
boon, their comprehension becomes ex-

captain announced:

superior.
"Hm-wait a minute"
The officer whispered to one of the
sergeants.
"Sure, he understands all right" the
latter affirmed.
The captain returned to the still I'M
comprehending Kabibble.
Look here, If you don't sweep this
mess hall quickly, you'll lose your pass

Poisonous Constituent Of Ivy.

Whether the poisonous constituent
of poison ivy is chemical or bacterial
is discussed In the Medical Record.
Doctor Frost insists that it is bac'
terial because of the incubation pc
riod, the complete natural immunity
of certain individuals, and that expo
sure may be strictly limited to proxlm-
ity of the plant and for other rea-
sons. and asserts that he has found a
form of bacteria constant on all leaves
examined
]. T. McNair insists that actual con-
tact with the resinous sap must occur,
and that neither mixing with mercury
nor heating destroys the poisonous
quality of the sap. He therefore be-
lieves the action is chemical.

SEATTLE NEWS LETTER
Pacific Northwest Will be Adver-
tised To Easterners-New PO-
lice Chief Cleaning up City
of Its Undesirables

William Cuthbert, executive secretary
of the Pacific Northwest Tourist Asso-
citation, has returned from a trip to the
East, where 1t is understood steps were
taken by him, which will materially
increase the influx Of tourists to the
Pacific Northwest next year. While
some effort has been made to bring
the attractions OF the Northwest to the
attentions OF Fasteners it is generally
acknowledged that thousands OF them
who take annual vacations to different
parts OF the United States, are not
familiar with the many advantages
offered by Washington, Oregon and
British Columbia. One of the objects
of Mr.. Cuthbert's trip to the East was
to take steps to see that hereafter the
Pacific Northwest will be more generally
advertised on the Atlantic Coast. In
another year or two, largely through
the practical work OF the Tourist Asso-
citation, it is believed that the North
west will be as popular center for
tourists as is California today.
II you have any friends who are do
ing war duty in Europe and you wish
to send them something that will be
appreciated send tabacco. During the
past two weeks dozens OF letters have
come 10 Seattle people from youny
men in the European trenches who say
that there is a regular tobacco famine
on the other side and that it is almost
impossible for soldier to get tabacco
which is possible to smoke unless it
comes from the United States. One
One we'll known Seattle man, who for
years was engaged in active newspaper
work in this city, and who is now at
the front as an engineer, writes that
nothing in the nature Of remembrance
from this side would be so much
appreciated as tobacco. The only
time he writes that I have tobacco
that I can smoke is when I get a
package from home. II you want to
make the boys over here happy send
more tobacco"
The police shake up in Seattle un-
der the new chief OF Police Joel War
rem is the only real one that the depart
ment has had during the past twenty
years. Warren is cleaning out Of
headquarters. the old line officers who
have been in charge for years and who
are generally believed to be responsible
for the very bad condition Of affairs
existing in the city. In times past
there have been some slight changes
but Warren, working with the Federal
authorities, is going down the line and
every officer who has not made good is
being sent to the suburbs and smart,
honest young policemen are taking
their nIaces While Wayyan does mt
say so it is generally understood that
the officers at Camp Lewis are satisfied
that real clear up is in progress and
it is likely that most any day will bring
the announcement that the embargo on
Seattle has been lifted and that soldiers
will once again be permitted to visit
the city.
The United States Government is

to promoting efficiency in everything
that must be done to win the war.
His inspiration and liberality brought
the girls of Seattle together and helped
the Bazaar movement along until more
than $4,000 girls and women were
taking active part. The Bazaar pro-
ceeds will provide $4,000 to estab-
lish an army base hospital behind the
fighting lines in France and all the re-
naming receipts will go to the Red
Cross work Of civilian relief, that is to
care for the families OF the men at the
front.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1917-12-28

The United States Government is
going after the slackers harder than
ever. They are being arrested in the
state OF Washington at the rate OF ten
or fifteen day. When brought before
the court they are turned over to the
custody of the United States marshal
who holds them until they can be
registered and put in line for active
service. In cleaning up the city OF
undesirables the police are picking up
dozens Of young men who failed to
register and they are at once turned
over to the Government authorities.
The biggest entertainment for war
relief that has yet been given in the
West closed in Seattle last Saturday
when the Seattle Girls War Relief
Bazaar ended its six days and nights Of
amazing activity. 1t will be several
days before a complete financial state
ment will disclose the exact amount OF
the proceeds, but it is already apparent
that 100000, the mark set by the
girls. has been realized and passed.
The idea of the Bazaar originated with
Frank Warehouse, prominent shipping
man and leader in Northwestern bust
ness activities, who was also responsible
this year for the State Hsrvesters'
League which sent thousands Of persons
to work in the fields and orchards Of
Washington. Warehouse is one OF
the country's big business men who
has set aside his private affairs to devote
time and money to war purposes and

Do and Think.

If you wish to be or do anything
great in this world you will find every
hour and every day an opportunity In
some way. If nothing else the lul In
routine is opportunity to study up for
future reference and use.
If your mind is full Of plans and ideas
for carrying them out you can make
almost any situation or circumstance
work in to help you.
1t Is not so much how you 60 at a
thing as to get at it.
Begin by doing something. Do and
think at the same time. That think
will help in the next do, and by al
ways doing what you know how to do,
first, you will find the next step easier.
1t is not the takers and the arguers
who accomplish the most in this world.
Try some plan while the next one is
talking about it, and you will be sur
prised at how easy it is to keep in the

This Monster Does Exist.

The dingonek is a huge, unclass fled
aquatic monster. 1t resembles In many
Of its characteristics the extinct dino
saur, a huge reptile of the Mesozoic
period, fossils Of which have been dis
covered by Psychologists in the sand
stone strata both Of the African and
American continents.
1t lives in Lake Victoria NyanZa and
its numerous tributaries, and there is
no record of the monster having been
seen in any other part Of the world.
Whether it is a descendant of one Of
the huge prehistoric saurians that has
by a process of daptation-living as
it does in impenetrable regions far
away from the encroachments of civ
ilized man-continued with but slight
notifications through prodigious ages
to the present time, or whether it is an
unclassified reptile or amphibian, it is
equally impossible to say, as no speci-
men exists either of its bones or Of its
skin. That this monster does exist,
however, there can be no particle Of
doubt, as the testimony of authorita-
tive eyewitnesses cannot be reasonably
discredited.-Wide World.

Barometer PAPER.

Barometer paper, that changes its
color according as the weather Is wet
or dry, may be made under several
formulas, according to the color you
want. One formula Is: Cobalt chloride,
one part; gelatin, ten parts; water, 100
parts. In this the normal color is pink.
This color changes to violet in medium
humid weather and to blue in wet
weather. Another formula that makes
yellow in dry weather calls for cupric
chloride, one part; gelatin, ten parts;
water, 100 parts. Still another formu-
la is cobalt chloride, one part; gelatin.
twenty parts; nickel oxide, seyenty-fve
parts; water, 200 parts. This gives a
green in dry weather. Immerse paper
