WOMEN OF UPPER WFNATCHFE
VALLEY DOING THEIR BIT.''
Every Day One Can See Them in
the Orchard, Gardens and Fields
Doing Mans Work

The munitions factories are proud
of their women war workers and the
time has come when the orchard
owners of the Wenatchee valley
may be proud of their war workers.
Passing by on the country road, it
is quite a usual sight to see women
working in the orchards, thinning
the apples, irrigating, picking the
soft fruits, wedding and thinning in
the war gardens.
All this work means an ache here
and a lame muscle there, but still
it is all done with a smile. These
women are deserving of recognition
as well as the war workers for
Uncle Sam and they too should
have a characteristic uniform to des-
ignate their line of work. At present
the boomers, coveralls and overalls
are proving to be a practical and
neat fatigue uniform.
The women doing "a bit" in the
orchards are true war workers.
The nation must be fed and "food
will win the war" Realizing this
strategic issue it is the patriotic
duty of every woman who can to lay
aside her cap and apron and don
overalls and hat and help harvest
the crops that will feed a nation
"here' and our soldier boys "over
there"

SOME WOMEN THINK MORE OF
MEN THAN SUGAR

Human nature is very strange.
The way women are wailing over
the food regulations is pitiful. To
some of them crate of fruit is
more than all the starving millions
of Europe. They are an abused race
over the new canning regulations,
and any one who talked to them
about the Hoover regulations a year
ago, and knew of the scorn with
which any suggestions of curtail-
ment were met, can realize how they
are with the enforced denial. 1t is
only lack of vision. Those whose
men are at war accept the regula-
tions with cheerfulness; they do not
weep over the loss in fruit for they
have other losses more on their
minds and they think that doing
without a few pounds of sugar is
an easy matter compared to their
greater sacrifces.-The Spokesman
Review.

400 or more votes are cast IA any
one precinct, that precinct must be
divided and a new precinct formed
the voters in the new precinct
must re-register before they can
vote again. This particularly af
fects the city of Cashmere, where
the old precinct of Cashmere, which
comprised the entire city, has been
divided, and the two new precincts
of South Cashmere and North Cash
mere formed; the dividing line being
River street and Cottage avenue.
First Creek is another new precinct
which has been cut off from the old
Lakeside precinct.

TEN DAYS BATTLE With HUNS
ENDS TUESDAY -AlLFS VICTORS
Over Two Hundred Square Miles OF
French Territory Recaptured and
Huns Numerically Punished

The great allied counter drive
which began July IS, came to an
end last Tuesday. Since then the ac-
tivity of the allied soldiers has been
confined to digging in, making pre-
parations to hold what they gained,
in which they have so far been sue
cessful. Every counter attack of
the Huns has been beaten off. The
gain to the allies amounts to some
hundreds of square miles of terri
tory that the Huns ha6 held since
their March drive. They have also
killed untold thousands and taken
over 10000 prisoners. That we have
lost some of our boys, goes without
question. War has been called "Hell''
ever since Gen. Sherman aptly
termed it so. Our American boys
gave a good account of themselves.
That the Huns finally realized they
could fight is proven by the fact
that they pitted against them at the
battle of Fere en- Tardenois thei"
crack regiments and made no head
way against them. An immense
amount of war material was cap
tured in the Hun retreat over a sec
ton of country some twenty miles
wide and fourteen miles deep. In
men the Hun loss is estimated at
from one to two hundred thousand.
The outstanding fact in the past
weeks war news is the report that
Turkey has broken with Germany
over the division of Rumanian
spoils. The Turks accuse the Ger
mans of favoring the Bulgarians.
That the ten days battle was vic
tory, and a great victory, for the
allies. there is not the slightest
doubt.
Gen. Foch seems to have justified
his selection as commander in chief
If all the allied armies. He outgen-
eraled the God-led Teutons. Anothey
and even greater battle may be
looked for within the next thirty
or forty days. We have now mil
lion and half soldiers in France
and in thirty days more will approx
innate two million. The large Amer
lean army, and its proven fighting
quality has increased the allied ma
tons morale; given Gen. Foch con-
fidence in his ability to beat the
Huns on an even footing.
The allied armies have made minor
gains on the italian front, on the
Salonica front and in Messopotamia.
in the past week.
The Russian situation gets more
difficult of solution every week.
Though there is not wanting indi-
cation that the people are getting
every day more tired of their Boil
shevik government. and an uprising
may come any time. Only one thine
is sure, that is that things have
been coming the allis' way the past
ten days.

SAVING AND SAVING AND
LENDING

Sir William Good, of the British
Food Ministry, says that from July,
1917, to April, 1918, the United
States exported to the allies So
100000 busels of wheat products.
Of this it is asserted that 50,000,OO
bushels represented voluntary sacri-
fees by the American people in
their consumption of wheat
There is triple economy, triple
aspect to this saving of wheat. 1t
saved wheat for our army and the
armies of our allies; it saved money
to the American people, and for the
most part this money went for the
purchase of government war secur-
tiles.
There is another saving still: this
sort of sacrifice and economy is
helping win the war-shorten the
WARMTH the resultant saving of
soldiers lives.

score of A to g. The Columbia river

of the large score the first half. she
having annexed IS individual points,
while her mate, Alice Finnell, added
eight more. The first half ended
with the score of 26-3 in the locals
favor. Jean Folsom at side-center
showed up well, lodging in and out
from among her larger opponents,
Madeline Burgess and Helen Nelson,
at guard, did not have much to do
during the first half, the ball being in
Pendleton's territory most of the
time.
The game was one of the cleanest

up. a centime as near as l can fig
ure is molecule or an atom br some
thing too small to imagine. Five
centimes is Il penny in our money
and is called a SOU"
