WAR SAVING STAMPS

The Liberty Loan drive overshad-
owed the War Saving Stamp campaign
and as a result the sale of stamps has
not been as active as it should have
been. The county has this year to
make up it's apportionment, but the
first four months have passed and the
percentage of sales is not up to wha.
it should be. This investment is a
very attractive one as it gives an
opportunity for the man of small
means to help the government in
carrying on the war, and while doing
this it Is creating the saving habit,
and that is a habit the American citi-
zen, as a rule, is not burdened with.
We publish below the total purchases
and percentage of apportionment for
the different districts in the county
lip to May 1st 1t is to be hoped that
there will be a material increase in
the sales by the time of the next re-
port made by Harry J. Kerr, county
chairman War Savings campaign.

COOLING WORMS

The codling worms have been max
ing every possible use of the early
spring this year and will soon be
upon us in great numbers. The moths
are appearing much earlier this year
than last and will in all probability
be more active. This means that spray
ing must be earlier and thorough.
We have no cages in the Oroville
locality, but judging from the COM
parative development of bloom and
growth the first cover spray should
be applied about May 22nd along the
river. Places further back will have
to compare their development with
that along the river and date their
sprays accordingly.
This early appearance of the moths
will mean much longer period of
worm activity and more sprays.
Where the worms were at all bad last
year it will be advisable to expect this
cover spray in another three weeks.
The next spray after that, then, will
come the latter part of July.

SAD DEATH

One Of the saddest deaths that has
occurred in Oroville FOR years was
that of little Max Brickbill, the 10
year-old son of C. II. Brickbill, of Ok
anogan. who died at the home of his
aunt, Mrs. Chas. T. Peterson, early
Sunday morning. Death at any
time and under any circum-
stances is always sad, but seems
sadder when the victim of the grim
reaper is of tender years. The old
must die. They have lived their life
their allotted years, and to them fur
ther years can have nothing bright
and promising. But to the young life,
with all its possibilities. its hopes, it's
ambitions is in the future, hence there
is keener sadness in the passing of
one of tender years than where the
call is answered by one whose life
work is finished.
Max Brickbill was taken sick week
or ten days ago and DIR. Lewis pro-
nounced his ailment to be Brights
disease, and in such an acute stage
( tHdJ Hc uclu Out iittic iIOpeS lTOln tne
first. Everything known to medical
science was done for the boy, and he
seemed to be improving even up to
Saturday. but Saturday afternoon the
patient had convulsions and though
ihe revived from the first a second
came on in the night and the little
fellow breathed his last Sunday morn
ing quite early. The remains were
taken to Okanogan for burial.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to
the stricken father. The boy was
his fathers idol, and was as much
companion as son. Indeed, it was
while the boy was on trip with his
father from Okanogan to Oroville that
Mr.. Brickbill first discovered the seri-
Gus condition of his son. Max was
bright, loveable little fellow and his
going leaves void in the family that
can never be filled. Words are in
adequate to convey any surcease to
the pain that comes to the heart in
the hour of such affliction, and the
only relief is the knowledge that one
so young has passed into higher and
better life. 81
