ROUSING PATRIOTIC MEETING
AT PESHASTIN LAST SUNDAY
Methodist Church CrOwded-Number
of Prominent Speakers Present
Meeting Next Sunday at Blewett.

The patriotic meeting advertised
to be held at Peshastin last Sunday
in the Methodist church was well
attended. Mr.. A. N. Corbbin of
Wenatchee,- spoke on the cause of
the war and why the United States
is in it, and the part the Council
of Defense has in the war.
Prof. Wellington Pegg, of the We
natchee public schools, had for his
subject "What. we are going to do
about it, and on war savings stamps
and liberty bonds.
Mrs. M. w Starks spoke on the
Red Cross and its work, which has
been pronounced one of the best and
clearest statements on how the Red
Cross was founded and its work in
the great war, that has yet been
heard by the people of Peshastin.
The church was crowded. and the
closest attention was given to the
speakers.
Next Sunday evening the same pro-
gram will be repeated by the same
speakers at Blewett.

OUR CREAMERY NEEDS MORE
CREAM.

The town demands twice as much
butter as the creamery can make
from the cream delivered. This
is a town institution and deserves
loyal support. Some few, under a
mistaken notion, churn their cream
at home and peddle the butter. The
time could undoubtedly be more pro-
fitably employed about the ranch.
Some others ship their cream to out
of town dairies, whose sole object
is to break down the Leavenworth
creamery, in which, if they succeed.
they will get even by paying less
for cream than the local creamery
now pays. The butter turned out
by the Leavenworth creamery is the
equal of any butter made, and super
ior to much that is shipt here. There
are still others who do not keep
milk cows that should keep them.
Taking care of couple of cows adds
little to the labor and brings a
monthly cash income. By all means
help the creamery.

APRIL 9th FIRST ANNIVERSARY
OF U. S. IN WAR.

Tomorrow is the first anniversary
of the entrance of our country in
the great European conflict. Before
another year rolls around the United
States will have between two and
three million men fighting the Huns.
IF this country had taken Theodore
Roosevelt's advice the war would
almost certainly have beenover ere
this, and saved the taxpayers of the
United States twenty billion dollars.
He is the only man in this country
that had vision. He forsaw our en-
trance into the war nearly four years
ago and urged preparation-urged
the training of million men to
be ready for conflict at a moments
notice 1t is more than probable
that if this country had needed his
advice Germany would never have
sunk the Lusitania and never en-
gagged in the indiscriminate sinking
of our ships, and there would have
been no cause for our getting into
war on that score.

Now Ranks Among the Best Equip
ped and Arranged Hospitals in
Central Washington.

DR.. j. S. Judah, who established
the Leavenworth Hospital some four
years ago, has been making some
improvements in that institution.
Contractor Hartman has been en-
ployed there for the past month,
and is not thru yet. He has add
ed a large, well lighted and airy
operating room, which is completed
and furnished with every modern
convenience. He has also added
four more rooms, with a hall and
some half dozen closets, or lock-
ers. Additional room was needed,
as the hospital has been crowded
the past few months. With some
additional conveniences in the way
of hospital supplies and instru-
ments the Leavenworth Hospital now
ranks with the best equipped in Cen
tral Washington.

FRANK RHOADS IN
COUNTY JAIL.

Rhoads was arrested here last
week on a vagrancy charge and con-
fined in the city's bastile. He is
well known here because of his l.
w. w. activity last summer, for
which he spent some two months
in the stockade at Wenatchee along
with some twenty or thirty others.
Rhoads had been here without any
visible means of support and show
ed no inclination to go to work altho
men were badly wanted. He was
taken to the county seat last Satur-
day where he was placed in Jail.
While there he received a lot of l..
w. w. mail. There was reason to
believe that he had been in the habit
of receiving this kind of stuff and
distributing it among workingmen,
which is now prohibited because it
teaches disloyalty to the government.
He will have an examination before
u. s. Commissioner Luddington.

THIS WAS NOT OUR ]. E. CULLEN.

J. E. Cullen was arrested in Ever
ett this week on an indictment by
a Federal grand jury, charged with
boarding flour, and faces four years
in the penn and ten thousand dol

first announced for purposes OF
speculation. By occupation Cullen
is a barber. His side speculation
will prove disastrous.

IMPORTANCE or
FARMER IN WAR
food-Productior Problems Are
Growing More Acute With
Progress of Conflict.
MORE MEN CALLED 70 army
Department Of Agriculture Officials
Assured From Every Section That
Man Behind the Plow Will Not
Fail in War Task.

The man behind the plow, depart
ment of agriculture officials believe, is
the man behind the man behind the
gun, and the idea has been embodied
in a striking poster that is soon to be
used throughout the country in ham,
mering home the Importance of the
American farmers big war job.
Edward Penfed, poster artist Of
New York, painted the picture. which
shows a plowman working in the fur
rows to produce Good for the men In
the trenches. Against sunlit back
ground are seen the silhouetted hS-
ures of soldiers in battle.
Farmers Not to Fail.
Food production problems are de-
scribed ms growing more acute with the
progress of the war; the increasing de-
mands for food, the calling of more
men to the army, and other results OF
America straining every nerve toward
one objective. But department of ag-
riculture officials are assured In every
mail and from every section OF the
country that the farmers are not gong
to fail in their war task. Farmers
have gone over the top for the period
of the war The new poster is intend
ed TO Impress upon people of the cities
and towns the great importance of ac-
commodating agriculture In its require
ments of labor, finance and marketing.
Farmers Place Recognized.
The Importance of the farmer In
the organization of American resources
to win the war was expressed by the
secretary of agriculture in his recent
appeal "to the patriots on the farms"
to go "over the top" this fall for a
great harvest of wheat In 1919. In this
appeal the secretary said:
"You have occupied and do occupy
the first line trenches Of the food
army. You have to fight difficulties.
too. am not unmndful of these. In
the department of agriculture we con-
slider them dolly, and daily we give
our best efforts to help you meet them.
You know Of the difficulties In your
community, but know Of them In
many communities of many states. and
so seriously do they impress me that
/ might almost consider them insur-
mountable had not American farmers
last year, and again this year, revealed
the true American fighting spirit and
ability to meet serious situations.

vest in 1919. 1t has been called the
liberty wheat harvest. We all hope
II will be. But let us undertake the

lasting damage to the woodlands I'M
less precautions are taken. On the
other hand. the cutting of cordwood
affords each owner of woodland an
opportunity to clear his land and put
his timber in better condition. To &C
complish this the idea to keep in mind
is to remove for cordwood the poorer,
less valuable trees, leaving the better
ones to stand. In removing the fuel
wood the greatest precautiOn should
be taken not to injure the more valu-
Able trees or the young growth.
Briefly. the material which should
be removed Is as follows:
Sound sticks lying on the ground,
including tops left In logging opera
lions. and trees blown over by wind.
crushed down by snow or otherwise
toppled over; dead trees which are
sound and still standing; trees which
are diseased, or are so seriously in
jured by insects that they will prob
ably die. and also trees which are spe-
cially subject to serious disease or
insect attack; crooked trees which are
! crowding out straight ones; large old
trees unsuitable for lumber. and hav-
ing big tops which shade out numerous
smaller trees growing beneath them,
small trees which are overtopped and
/ stunted by larger and better ones.
trees of the less valuable kind which
are crowdlng good trees Of the more
valuable kinds, trees which by some
chance are growing on ground insult
ed to them; slowly growing trees
which are crowding out equally valu-
able kinds that grow faster; trees
badly fire-scarred at the butt, which
usually become rotten and are among
the first to be blown over by heavy
winds.
| The ideal trees for cordwood are
! those which range from four to about
/ ten inches In diameter. The yield of
cordwood from trees smaller than four
inches In diameter Is very slight, and
trees larger than ten inches In diam
eter are usually more valuable for
some other purpose, unless they are
defective.

PROPER STORAGE FOR BEETS
When Placed In Cellar Avoid Large
Piles as II Is Liable to Cause
Heating and Decay.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricuiture.)
Beets should be pulled and the tops
cut off when the soil is dry. If they
are to be held in the storage room In
the basement or in an outdoor storage
cellar, they should be placed I'm venti-
l0ted barrels, loose boxes, or, better
still, in crates. If sufficient space is
available in the cellar, 1t Is a good plan
simply to place them In small piles
along the wall. Storage in large piles
should be avoided, as 1t is liable to
couse heating and decay.
For storage In banks or pits prepare
the beets as for storage In the room In
the basement or in the outdoor cellar.
Select well-drained location, make a
shallow excavation, about six inches
deep, line 1t with straw, hay, leaves,
or similar material, and place the beets
In conical pile on the lining. Make
the bottom of the pile about the same
size as, but not larger than. the bottom
OF the excavation. Cover = beets with
same material as that used for lining
the bottom of the pit. and carry II up
several inches above the apex Of the
pile of vegetables, having 1t extend
through the dirt covering. This serves
as ventilating flue. and It should be
covered with piece of tin or short
board as a protection from rain, The
dirt covering should be two or three
inches thick when the vegetables are
stored, and It should be increased as
severely cold weather approaches until
It is foot or more In thickness. In
finishing the pit the dirt should be
firmed with the back of the shovel In
order to make 1t as nearly waterproof
as possible.
The shallow trench around the base
Of the pit should have an outlet for
carrying Off the wster. Supplement
the dirt covering with manure, straw,
corn fodder or other protecting mate
rial. Use several small pits instead Of
one large one. as vegetables keep bet
