THRIFT STAMP CAMPAIGN
TO BE STARTED IN SCHOOLS
State School Superintendent An
nounces Plans-Every School
Child Expected to Help

Mrs. Josephine Preston has an
nounced her plan of campaign for
the work of selling thrift stamps to
the school children and named her
advisory committee and outlined
their jurisdiction. She proposes
not that the children shall take out
their savings accounts and buy
thrift stamps but that each school
child in the state shall be started
out with at least one stamp.
Then it is proposed to have them
thru the help of parents, neighbors
and friends earn money to buy more
stamps. In this way the amount of
thrift and war savings stamps held
by the children at the end of the
year will represent their earnings
and their savings She is anxious
that the children shall learn the
value of industry and thrift and
wants the stamps Ito represent the
actual efforts of the children to
earn money and to show that they
have saved it and loaned it to the
government for patriotic purposes.

SITZALLO ADDRESSED LARGE
GATHERING AT WENATCHEE
In Mastery Address He Presented
the American Side In Great
World War-LeavenwOrth
Citizens Attend

When it became known that DR..
Suzallo, head of the Washington
University and chairman of the
State Council of Defense, would at
tend the annual meeting of the We
natchee Commercial club, and make
an address, a number of Leaven-
worth people decided to hear him.
They were not disappointed. After
making some three or four talks
in the fore part of the day, to the
high school class and the teachers,
the business men of Wenatchee and
the county council of defense, he
talked for almost two hours at the
Elks assembly hall to a crowded
house.
His talk was about Americas part
in the war and urged obedience and
loyalty to the government. He
flayed the Conscientious Christians
and Pacifists who opposed the gov
ernment in the war and refuse to
do their part to win the great con-
flict It was a mastery presenta-
ton of the reasons why we were
forced to declare war against Ger
with some sound advice as
to our duty as citizens of the United
States. He urged men of all par
ties and beliefs to lend willing aid
and cooperate with the government
in all it's undertakings.
The following from Leavenworth
themselves for taking
the time to go and hear DR.. Suzallo:
A. H.Sylvester, L. o. Taylor, VIM.

FORMER LEAvENwORTH MAN ..
WOULD BREAK SONS WILL
O. E. Kenyon Starts Fight To Re-
cover $4,000 Estate Left By
Son Who Was Accidently -
Killed i'm Alaska

O. E. Kenyon former evangelist
and who will be remembered as hav-
ing made Leavenworth his home up
to about four years ago since which
time he has led sensational ca
reer, has again leaped into the lime
light in Spokane where he is con-
testing his sons will.
The following appeared in the
Spokesman Review of Wednesday.
10. E. Kenyon, who was at Alex
andria, Egypt, when his son, Attor-
ney Clyde f. Kenyon of Spokane
accidently killed himself in the Alas
kan .wilds, started contest this
week attacking the validity of the
will and asks that the authority OF
Harry P. Rhodes as executor be re-
voked. The estate is worth more
than $4,000.
Mr.. Kenyon who has returned to
America, says his son was not in
"testamentary capacity" at the time
the will was made and says that nc
proof has been introduced to show
that o. H. Wilson and P. R. Martel
were actual witnesses to the pur-
ported will.
Mr.. Kenyon accidentally shot the
top of his head off while on the
trail at Immachuck on his way to
Nome. His friends said he appeared
to have a premonition of danger.
Attorney Harry Rhodes presented
will for probate more than year
ago It was admitted to probate
last January when proof was fur
nished that Attorney Kenyon was
legally dead. Hilmer Lee of Seattle
made affidavit that he was with the
oroup of men that found the body
of Kenyon at Immachuck on the
dog trail.
The peculiar will which is now at
tackled provided that "my body be
DESTROYED by fire until nothing re-
mains thereof but ashes, the dispo
sition of which / leave to my IAN
ily." Attorney Rhodes first con
sidered having the body burned II
the wilds, but later gave the steam
ship companies orders to bring i
out to the states for cremation.
The will provided Attorney Rhodes
was too receive $1,000 and keep th'
$4,000 estate in trust for the fam
ilv. The mother, Ella Kenyon, O
Travers City, Mich, was to receive
$4,000. Attorney Rhodes was tt
turn over the income to the father
A sister, Edith, resided here and
sister, Dorothea, in Chicago whei
the will was admitted to probate.
Attorney Rhodes is now in Seattle
The petition asking that the au
thority of Attorney Rhodes be re
voked was filed with c. w. Hopkin
cashier at the office of the count
clerk, Tuesday.

MEATLESS DAYS WILL BE
DISCONTINUED FOR so DAYS
New Ruling Due to Lack of Re-
frigeratOr Cars-Ciizens Must
Still Save Pork

Due principally to a lack of re-
frigerator cars to transport beef
from the Pacific Coast states meat
less holidays have been granted by
the food administration to the. Pa
cific Coast states for a period of
sixty days, during which mutton
beef, lamb, and veal may be con-
sumed on Meatless Tuesdays and for
meatless meals. .--
"There will be no change as to
porkless Saturday or as to the use
of pork or pork products on meat
less days or for meatless meals dur
ing the sixty day holiday period,
says Chas. Hebberd, state food ad-
ministrator in a telegram from
Washington, D. c.
eve must increase the saving of
pork, lard and fats on other than
meatless days and meals. If meat
is used people are asked to use
mutton in preference to beef and
beef in preference to pork, conserv-
ing first, pork; second beef and
third mutton This adjustment will
relieve the Pacific Coast beef and
mutton situation and will help carry
over the season of scant fish supply
THE trade is notified howeva
that if the holidays result in unjus-
tifiable increases in meat prices they
will be cancelled forthwith, and any
increase will be deemed unjustifi:
able unless shown otherwise.
Under the new regulations, effec-
tive until March 18th only, Meatless
Tuesday becomes Porkless Tuesd9
and meatless meals become porkless
meals, and Porkless Saturday re-
mains unchanged.
Over-stocking of flour by families
and individuals is placed under the
ban of the food administration. The
regulations issued by Chas. Hebbero
federal food administrator for Wash
ington provide:
"Retail sales of flour to families
in towns and cities are limited tC
one quarter barrel lots; to farmers
from one half barrel to one barrel
depending on the distance from the
point of supply. For larger sup
plies than one barrel lots, required
by those living at distant points
from supply bases, permission must
be secured either from the fedora
food administrator or from the
chairman of the county food com
mittee. Hotels restaurants anC
eating houses may be sold a ter
days supply

ANNUAL MEETING PESHASTIN..
FRUIT GROWERS ASSOCIAT'N
Manager Makes Satisfactory Show
ing and Association Decides to
Increase Packing Facilities

The annual meeting of the Pc
shastin Fruitgrower's Association
was held last Friday, Jan. II. A
large number of the stockholders
were present, and others, delayed on
account of the train service, put in
belated appearance. The wives
of the nearby stockholders furnished
a noon luncheon and pleasant So
cial hour was spent.
The meeting was called at one
o'clock and after a report by the
manager showing the financial con-
dition of the association, the guam
tity of apples shipped, the quantity
paid for, balance yet to pack and
ship, it was found that by using the
estimate given last year on the
probable cost of handling the apples
this past season, that the actual cost
had come within $.0138 of the orig
inal estimate This included every
item of packing expense, all over
head, and the usual allowance of de-
probation on buildings and equip
ment. This was highly satisfactory
to the stockholders there not being
single criticism.
The association is fully convinced
that central packing is the right
idea on account of cost and con-
dition of apples when reaching the
market, there being almost no COM
plant this year against grade or
pack. So fully convinced are the
stockholders that this is the right
method that they have secured the
three acre orchard known as the
Shrewsbury lot and are now ma
turing plans to enlarge the housing,
packing and shipping facilities of
the association which the increased
apple yield, due to increased acreage
coming into bearing and the in
creased yield from trees not yet in
full bearing makes necessary. The
plans and an estimate of the cost
is now being prepared.
The report showed that the pool
had been closed and final payments
had been made on all early varieties
such as Winter Bananas, Grimes
Golden and Jonathans, and that
large payments had also been made
on all mid-season varieties, such as
Delicious, Staymans, Spitzenberg
and Rome Beauty.
At the close of the meeting a
unanimous vote of thanks was ten
dered the board of directors and the
manager for the success of the past
season.
There will be approximately 800
cars shipped from Peshastin this
year. Of this number 220 cars
have been packed at the central
Packing Plant and shipped by the
Peshastin Fruitgrowers Association.

BRITISHERS AND CANADIANS
ARE URGED TO ENLIST

The British and Canadian Service
have for some time past been using
every endeavor thru the depots of
the British and Canadian Recruiting
Mission in the United States to en-
list every available Britisher and Ca
madam in the United States for ser
vice overseas, and in the main, the
response has been fairly good, but
the fact should not be lost sight of
that there are still a large number
of men whose service is needed and
who should enlist.
Men with special ability as
tradesmen and mechanics are of
ten 10th to go into military service
except where they can work at
their trades, and the officers of the
British Canadian Recruiting Mission
are anxious to make known the fact
that men of every trade and ability
are urgently needed, and can be
placed in some branch of the Brit
ish or Canadian service where their
particular ability is needed.
Lieut.. Evans of the Canadian en-
gineers is particularly in search of
men with the following qualifica-
tions:-
Carpenters, bricklayers, black
smiths, plumbers timers, and min
ers. These men are most urgently
needed at the front, and it is felt
that if with these particular abili-
ties only realized to the full extent
the real value of their service at
this time, they would be more ready
to come forward.
The man with such ability is most
in this war. The branch
of the service to which he belongs
is of the highest class. His know
ledge and ability give him great op-
portunities and his work is of the
utmost Importance.
Men can be taken into this service
at any British and Canadian Re-
cruiting office. Men who are not
in close touch with such offices
should write to Lieut. Evans, at the
British Canadian Recruiting depot
lis James street, Seattle Wash,
who will furnish full information
and particulars.
Tradesmen should learn about
this valuable branch of the service,
where their ability and experience
counts for much.

SOCIALIST PARTY FILES
UNIVERSAL s-HOUR BILL

The Socialist party again filed its
proposed universal eigt-hour bill
with Secretary of State I. M. How
ell last Wednesday, after being first
refused when rendered last month,
as the time had not yet arrived for
accepting them. The bill was given
initiative number 80 and was sent
on to the office of Attorney General
Tanner, where the ballot title will
be prepared within ten days.
Then the hackers of the measure
may get their petition forms print
ed and start circulating them. As
377,602 votes were cast for COVER
nor at the last election, it will take
37,601 signatures, 10 per cent OF
that vote, to get bill before the
people under the initiative. The
new measure is an exact copy of the
1914 bill, defeated in the general
election that year.

meeing his week sisued orders di-
recting all public healh officers to

diction suspected of having COM

tions for such diseases as well as
physicians are required to report to
the state borad of health, as are
persons who have contracted such
illness. The new rules also pro-
vide that persons are only to be re-
leased from quarantine by order of

A MANS CHANCES IN THE WAR

The Military hospitals commission
at Quebec has kept an account of
how Canadian troops Jared in the
war, and has compiled some inter-
esting statistics based upon its in
vestigations and observations.
Addressing Canadian mothers and
fathers, the commission says;
If your boy goes to the front:
He has 20 chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
He has 90 chances of recovering
from a wound to two chances of
dying.
He has only one chance in 500 of
losing a limb.
He will live five years longer be-
cause of physical training.
He is freer from disease in the
army than in civil life.
He has better medical care at the
front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men
died from disease to one from bull
lets.
In this war one man dies from
disease to every ten from bullets.
This war is less wasteful of life
than any >other in history.
Only ten per cent of all Canadians
disabled for further service have
been physically unable to engage in
their former occupations.
If your boy is one of the 10 per
cent the government will re-educate
him in another vocation at which
he can earn a living.
