 The bazar, which is one of the most attractive ever held in the city, was at tended by large crowds yesterday and the committee in charge report very generous patronage.
 In addition to the dolls, of which there Is a wonderfully beautiful display, there are for sale all kinds of doll accessories, such as dainty clothing and furniture; fancy articles suitable for Christmas pres- ents, and a choice assortment of pre- served fruits and pickles, all homemade, and all at reasonable prices
 The bazar will close this afternoon, and an especially large crowd is expected at the wind up. The final event will be the Victory ball at the Country club to- night.
 | The entire proceeds from the bazaar will be applied to the funds of the Children S hospital. The bazaar is an annual affair and the ladies in charge hope to realize a larger sum this year than in the past, Tor txyifb ha p1.pu of the 11f1Initv has come the greater needs for the hos pital, with a corresponding increase in | expenditures.

If you start explaining Some Baby" the farce comedy which will be presented tonight and Saturday matinee and night at the Jefferson theatre, you never could finish and besides 1t would hardly sound funny at all. You have to see it all happen and especially you have to see the quaint little old doctor, who is Zellah Covington and the author of the play himself. He is an altogether delightful scientist with his faith in his marvellous discovery and although you want to feel sorry for him for the way he is fooling himself 30 completely, in the end you are glad with him that none of his trou- bles that seem to result are real.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-12-13
CARE AND REPAIR OF FARM MA
CHINERY

The need of repairing and caring for
farm implements is more important
now than in normal times, for three
reasons. First, the shortage of raw
materials in every industry necessi-
tates our prolonging the life of every
thing we have, be it farm implements
or wooden materials. Second, every
available bit of land must be made
ready for use and every energy bent
toward the production of bumper
crops to feed the starving world. This
can not be done with rusty, uncared
for machinery that is a waste of time
to operate. The farmer cannot afford
to lose all his profit on actual sales
by careless indifference toward capital
invested in machinery.
The best time to overhaul machin-
cry is during the period of inactivity
and before the rush of the spring
work. If put off, delay in securing
parts, and other work crowding in,
will hinder prosecution of this work.
The cost of repair parts for a ma
chine worth repairing, is small per-
centage of the original cost, and the
labor and time put on this work will
be more than repaid by saving of
delay when the spring rush is on.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-12-13

But the danger of friction among
the republican senator's is more fan
cied than real. A glance at the minor
ity memberships of committees as they
are now constituted shows that there
can be no serious differences not easily
solved. Some of the more important
committees will fall by seniority to
former progressive senators. Other
prominent charimanships will go by
the same rule to senators who have
never allied themselves with the pro-
gressive cause. Some republicans of
both sides find that they are in
line for the Craftsmanship of two or
more committees. In such cases it will
be easy to make an adjustment salts
factory to all concerned.
1t is well that the question of COM
mittee control has been raised at this
early day, as it gives ample oppor-
tunity for republicans of every shade
Of political faith to get together. It
is predicted that long before March

and chairmanships allotted in way
that will cement together, even more
firmly than before, the republican SEN

struction that is before them. 1t is

The democrats of the senate appear
to have notion that BECAUSE of the
close margin by which, on the face of
the returns, the republicans will con-
troll that body it is very much to their
interest to stir up fractional differ
ences in their party opponents. By
doing so they think there is a chance
for continuing themselves in power; at
any rate they know they have nothing
to lose and everything to gain. The
republican senators with progressive
leanings are having it impressed upon
them by the democrats that if the
seniority method of selecting chairmen
is to rule when the senate is reor-
gained in the next congress many of
the best committees will fall under
the control of what they still choose
to call "standpatters."
