WOMAN'S SERVICE LEAGUE
WILL SHIP FRUIT THIS WEEK
1900 Quarts of Fruit Conserved by IL
Leavenworth League-Has Been
On Exhibit This Week

The fruit which has been conserved
by the women of the service league
has been on exhibition in the war
workers room the past week. There
are 1900 quarts of jellies, jams and
preserves. Mrs. Guy Hamilton, chair
man of the league, and Mrs. Kate
johnson, chairman of the canteen
committee, are mostly responsible for
the good work done here, altho each
member of the committee deserves
credit for faithful service.
The fruit will be shipped from here
to Wenatchee, and from there to
Camp Lewis next week. From there
il will be distributed to hospitals for
the soldiers. Photographer Wheeler
took a picture of the display, which
was most attractively arranged and
drew no end Of favorable comment.

war work, there and everywhere, is
mere playing at service.
"These women are the types of mill
liens of women in France and in Amer
lea, and when I contemplate their SER
vice, their sweetness, and their un-
complaining sacrifice l feel for all
others and myself the deep compass
sion of utter unworthiness. And when
] contemplate their devotion and wit
ness all around me here in this blessed
land able-bodies men doing unneces-
sary things, and pampered women
dawdling in beauty parlors, l feel an
unspeakable contempt and wish that
l might have the power to condemn
to hard labor all such miserable slack
ers, who are unworthy of the freedom
for which millions of men are dying
ard millions of women are working
and weeping"

ELECTED TO LEGISLATURE
RAILROAD MAN DISCHARGED
Missouri Railroad Man Loses Job for
Violation of Secretary McAdOO's
Order.

Because this question may cut fig
ure in the city election next month the
following news story, printed in last
Sundays paper will be read with in
terest by Leavenworth people. The
dispatch is dated Jefferson City, Mo-,
Nov. %.
William Turbett, republican, elected
to represent Cole county in the lower
house of the Missouri legislature, has
been peremptorily discharged as
skilled mechanic of the Missouri Pa
cific railroad shops in this city on the
ground that he had violated an order
of Director General McAdoo prohibit
ing railroad employees mixing in poll
tics.
Turbett has worked for the Missouri
Pacific the last twelve years and was
drawing 5000 month. He is married
and has one child.
Turbett was placed on the republi
can ticket before the first order of
Director McAdoo was issued The
supplemental order referred to in his
discharge was issued to enable men
living in small municipalities, where
the male population is largely railroad
employees, to hold certain offices
deemed necessary in municipal af-
fairs. The first order prohibited rail
road employees from holding commit
tee positions of political parties or
running for any offices other than
park commissioners or school direc-
tors etc.
Turbett was elected over Houck
McHenry, democrat, president of the
jefferson City Telephone Company,
by majority of 9s2 votes.
The railroad mechanics will try
to make a test case out of Turbett's
dismissal. For time they talked of
walking out of the shops here in a
body but Turbett advised them not to
do so.
The order of dismissal follows:
"J. J. Melley, general foreman, JEFF
ferson City, Mo.-Referring to sup
Elemental order No. 1, issued by Di-
rector General McAdoo prohibiting
employees of railroads from engaging
in politics or running for political
offices, beg to advise that this ap-
plies, to Machinist William Turbett
who was elected representative on the
republican ticket at the recent cleo
ton held at Jefferson City. Mr.. Tur-
bett is no longer considered in the ser
vice of the Missouri Pacific Railway
Company, and you will please see that
he is so notified"
This order was delivered to Turbett
by Master Mechanic w. A. Bedell.

COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING
SERVICE AT SCENIC THEATfR
An Interesting Program Presented to
a Crowded House.

A crowded house with all standing
room occupied witnessed an interest
ing program Wednesday evening at
the Scenic theatre, where the commu-
nifty Thanksgiving services were held.
The program opened with patriotic
airs in which the audience joined, after
which Rev. Morton of the M. E.
church invoked divine blessing. Mr..
A. H. Sylvester followed with an ad-
dress in which he reviewed some of
the early history of our country, not
forgetting to refer to the war which
came to a successful end in the early
days of the present month, for which
all are specially thankful just now.
Rev. Morton and Prof. Osborn also
made brief remarks appropriate to
the occasion. The male quartette rem
dered number of selections in way
that the audience approved of, as did
also the mixed voices.
Altogether it may be truthfully re-
marked that Leavenworth's first COM
munity thanksgiving service proved
so harmonious and pleasing that it will
probably become an annual institu-
ton.

AMERICAN PROTECTIVE LEAGUE
MUST HAVE FUNDS-DEC, 4 TO 5
Seattle Branch Arrested ZOOS German
Agents and Enemy Aliens-Watch-
ing |. w. w. and Bolshevik.

The work of the league is carried
on mainly on voluntary subscriptions.
The need for such work as the league
is devoted to is more urgent now than
ever. The Red agitators must be
watched.
Acceding to the requests of the de-
partments of justice and immigration
to continue their work, the Minute
Men division of the American Protec-
tive league will launch a statewide
drive for funds to continue their ac-
tivities for another year. The drive
will begin Wednesday, December 4th
and lasts four days.
Continuation of the work was re-
quested because, during the past six
months the organization was respon-
sible for the arrest of 1,008 German
agents, enemy aliens, preachers of Sc
dition, slackers and others guilty of
sedition or offenses against the war
regulations of the government. The
Minute Men acted under the direct
authority of the attorney general of
the United States, as an adjunct of
the department of justice, and are
credited by the government with max
ing it possible to keep the l. w. W.
menace down during the war, 300
alien l. w. w. leaders being arrested
and jailed in this state during the war
thru the efforts of the organization
A monster meeting was held in Sc
attic, Monday afternoon at which
Clarence L. Reames, special assistant
to the attorney general, charged with
the prosecution of sedition cases in
this district, and Henry NJ. White, U.
S. commissioner of immigration, urged
the Minute Men to contiue their work
of aiding the government in the de-
partments of justice and immigration,
telling them that there will be as much
need of their services for months to
come as there had been during the
war.
The drive for funds to finance the
Investigations of the organization was
announced by S. ]. Lombard, state in
spector Of the Minute Men, who pre-
sided, and word has been sent to the
county and city chiefs in the thirty
five counties in which the organization
exists to do their part in raising
money so that the organization can
comply with the request of the gov
eminent for further service.

THE MAYOR ELECTED TUESDAY
SERVES FOR TWO YEARS

Whether being railroad physician
disqualifies DIR. Hoxsey from holding
the office of mayor will not be dis
cussed here. We are also going to ad-
NIT here that he is most useful and
worthy citizen and in every way quail
flied to discharge the duties of the
office. The fact remains, however,
that he is practicing physician and
his duty to his patients is of first i'm
portance. If elected we shall see him
repeat what actually occurred several
times when he was mayor on a for
mer occasion. When presiding at a
meeting of the council he would re-
ceive a call, and in answering it, leave
the council without a head If
elected, whenever his professional du-
ties conflict with his duties as mayor
of the town the discharge of his pro-
fessional duties would very properly
come first. These facts are here men
toned that the voters may be ap-
prised and give them due considera-
ton.

transportation upon the reopening and
did so at the request of the district.
Your inquiry as to a teacher who
was i'll during the closed period is en-
titled to full compensation presents
more difficulty. The rule stated in
the various decisions of the court and
in the texts citing these decisions, is
that teacher who is ready, able and
willing to perform his part of the con-
tract is entitled to compensation dur
irg the closed period. In the instances
to which you refer, however, the teach
ers became i'll after the schools were
closed and completely recovered prior
to the reopening of the schools, so
that they lost no time from their du-
ties. In some cases we are advised
that teachers took advantage of the
closing of the schools to have opera
tions performed which incapacitated
them for the time being but did not
prevent them resuming their duties
upon the reopening of school.
In an opinion dated March II, 1902,
w. B. Stratton, former attorney gen.
eral, held that teacher who lost no
time from his duties was entitled to
salary during closed period altho he
himself was under quarantine during
a portion of the time.
In an opinion dated April 81, 1909,
(Ops. 1909-10, p. I'D former assis-
tant attorney general of this state held
that teachers who themselves were i'll
and unable to perform their duties
during the closed period would not be
entitled to full compensation as they
were themselves unable to perform
their contracts, apparently without
noting the former opinion.
Upon careful consideration of the
authorities upon which that opinion
was based and of the cases more re-
Gently decided by the courts, and a
consideration of the nature of the
present quarantine and the numerous
peculiar situations presented, ew are
disposed to follow the opinion of for
mer attorney general Stratton and to
hold that the teacher is entitled to full
compensation during the closed period
if he was able and willing and did re-
sumo his teaching upon the reopening
of the schools.
Yours respectfully,
GLENN J. FAIRBROOK,
Assistant Attorney General.

1t was also clearly. brought out in the
discussion that with proper enforce
ment of fedaral rules every shipment
of apples, no matter who shipped
them, or to whom they were shipped,
would be clearly labeled and marked,
and penalties attached for evasion.
There would be no such thing as pri-
rate shipments of apples without
grade mark and federal inspection.
Thus the entire industry would be
controlled, every grower, shipper and
buyer in the same boat. 1t was also
the opinion that the bu
reau of markets move for federal ap-
pie grades was one of the most mo-
mentous Importance for thorough
stablilization of the apple industry
ever undertaken.

ItAVfNWORTH ON AIR ROUTE
FIRST PLANE THIS MORNING
If You Had Your Eyes Turned TO The
South at 1880 This Morning You
Could Not Help Seeing II

If you happened to be looking in d
southerly direction this morning about
1880 you could hardly have escaped
seeing what looked like a huge bird
two or three thousand feet above the
earth, with a slight trail of what
looked like smoke following it. If you
saw this unusual sight you saw an
airplain. 1t appeared to be about one
and a half miles south of town and
was travelling in westerly direction.
Mrs. Geo. f. Kugelman saw the
strange sight, and not being sure that
her eyes were not deceiving her,
called her son, who is familiar with
them, having seen hundred in the
air at one time near San Diego, and
he promptly pronounced it an air
plane.
A flight from Spokane to Seattle
has been talked of and this must have
been the initial flight, as there has
been nothing in the papers about a
former effort.

Last night the Good Comrades club,
a society composed of young women of
Gardiner and vicinity. voted to fur
nish a room at the new Gardiner Cen

Of Boston, field representative of the

teresting talk on the work being donc
by the various chapters throughout
the State and outlined the work and
duties of the Chapters. He asked them
to consider the Red Cross as a bust
ness, to realize the fact that we have
either got to so across and fight or
stay here and help. He stated that
without money the business could not
be carried on. and that some method
must be used whereby steady in
come might be established. He point
ed out the great help that the Red
Cross was to the United States soldiers
and the Allies abroad. The speaker
among other things fully explained the
proper scheme Of organization, the di-
visions into committees and sub divi-
sions necessary. He suggested a per-
manent income and told how it might
be done. He took up the work of the
different committees and told the need
of an efficient head of each. The de-
centralizati ton of the work was then
fully explained and it's application to
local work made. In closing Mr.. Smith
said that every one of us should do all
we can SO that when those boys come
back we can look them square in the
