no danger of the earning capacity OF
nurses being lowered after the war
ends on account of the great number
who will then be qualified for the
profession; the country will need all
the nurses that can be trained, not
only during the war but after it, espe-
cially for reconstruction work. Even
ii the war ends within three years.
every student nurse will be able to
complete her training and will be
needed
An honorable servfce-Ever since
the days of Florence Nightingale the
nursing profession has been one of
especial honor. 1t was never so hon
orable as it is today. The army needs
every nurse it can get to keep up
with the draft" The United States
student nurse reserve is the quivalent
for women of the great national army
training camp for soldiers. The gov
eminent will rely upon the student
nurses to fight disease at home, to
care for those injured and disabled
in our hazardous war industries, and
to make themselves ready to serve
when the time comes as fully trained
nurses, either abroad or at home. Let
us show that we know how to answer
the governments call to the women
of the country.

IN MATRIMONIAL HARNESS

Jason Erwin and Miss Agnes An
|derson were married at Okanogan
Friday and thus confirmed bachelor
lis bumped off. Mr.. Erwin came to
the county and located east of Oro-
vile, July 81, 1902, sixteen years ago,
and during all that time kept house
for himself, until his friends came to
consider that matrimony was a state
into which the young man would
never enter. But at last he met his
fate, and his bachelor days are rele-
gated to the past. The bride formerly
taught school at Circle, but left here
some time ago for her home in Min
nesota and she came out from Min
nesota last week to become the bride
of Mr.. Erwin. The groom is an in
dustrious, prosperous and steady
young farmer who has a wide circle
OF. acquaintances in the north part of
the county who join with the Gazette
in wishing him long and happy
married life.

A DRAFT DODGER

For the first time in weeks Sheriff
Clair Ward was in town last Thurs
day afternoon on official business
which would indicate that the officer
has not been compelled to wear out
much shoe leather recently chasing
after offenders in the north part of
the county. He was called out on
this particular occasion to apprehend
one Thomas Carlton Shull, a young
man of draft age who registered at
Walla Walla, failed to respond when
finally called, and was wanted on the
very serious charge of being a deser-
ter. Shull had been working for w.
o Steele, where he was apprehended
and gave out that he was registered
in British Columbia. What he will
get for lodging service remains to be
determined when he faces the punish
ing officials, but it will probably be
something fierce for shirking duty, for
there are few crimes more serious or
disgraceful than desertion in time of
war.

A PAYING MINE

The Headley Gold Mining COM
pany, operating the Nickle Plate mine
at Hedley, B. c., some 20 miles west
of Oroville and Immediately along
the international boundary line, has
recently declared quarterly divi-
dend of 10 cents per share This is
no surprise, as the Nickle Plate has
been declaring regular dividends for
years, and the amount paid in divi-
dends runs into the millions. When
you come to think about it Is cent
quarterly dividend is a pretty stiff
income from a mine, and mighty at
tractive stock to hold. What sur
prlses us is that there are not more
mines in this upper country paying
dividends. All the ore around Hedley
Is not confined to the claims constitut-
ing the Nickle Plate, and it would
seem reasonable to suppose that with
the same extent of systematic de-
velopment other dividend paying
mines could be made. Moreover, it
is hardly reasonable to suppose that
an imaginary line so divides the min
eral bearing rock of the northwest
that all the pay ore lies in the north
side of the boundary and the waste on
the south side There are large and
we'll defined lodges on this side of
the line. and good many of them
and if properly worked there seems
no reason why some of them should
not be paving DrOperties

BULLETIN OF COUNTY COUNCIL
ON ORGANIZATION

The County Council at meati,o O
heid on July 10, 1918, decided thar 2
reorganization of community councils
was necessary. and that this reor.
sahlzatlon should be eGected as soon
as possible.
we are sending you herewith Bull
ietln No. 1O7 of the State Council and
ask you to read it carefully. and fol.
low its suggestions as CLOSELY as nos
sipie' YOU are at liberty, however
10 make such changes in the propos-
ed constitution as you deem neces-
sary to meet local conditions. For
instance, 1t will probably be best to
nave an executive committee of more
than three. Each school district in
your district should have a repre-
sentative on this committee.
All loyal citizens should be enrolled
either as active" or "associate''
members. Be sure to have every man
and woman who has taken an active
part in war work enrolled as an 'ac
i've member. In order to secure
better coordination of all lines of
work, 1t is essential to have as ,nem-
Ders your local Red Cross chairman
your four minute men, your newspa-
per editor, your minute Women. your
local food administrator, your bank
ers and all those who have acted as
chairmen of financial drives.
II you already have an organization
in your district ready to take up and
put through promptly and efficiently
any work you may be called upon to
do, it will not be necessary to reor-
ganize, as duplication of organiza-
tions is not desirable. But if the ey
isting organization Is not as efficient
or comprehensive as it should be,
tested by Bulletin No. 1O7, you should
reorganize.
We are assured that practically all
war work in the future win be han
died through these councils. 1t is
hoped that your district will be ready
to do it's work when called upon.
AS soon as you have perfected your
organization, report the fact to the
County Council at OkanOgan, Wash =,
and send in the names of your local
chairman, secretary, and executive
committee.
If your local chairman of your min
ute men is not getting results, report
the fact to Chas. A. Johnson, Okan-
ogan, Wash, who is county chairman,
and steps will be taken to secure some
man with the required amount of
pep"
meeting of July 19, accompany this
bulletin. These should be kept for
the guidance of your district of COM
munity council. Study them carefully
they are important.

AS financial venture the Okanog-
an Chautauqua was not success, as
the guarantors had to dig up to meet
small deficit. But the eXcellency of
the entertainment fully reimbursed
the people for the very small amount
that they had to contribute to make
up the srOrtage.
There have been several very mar
row escapes from drowning reported
in the county press this summer, but
fortunately so far there have been
no fatalities. There is hardly sum-
mer that passes, however, without one
or more drownings among bathers,
and it behOoves those who take to
the water during the hot spell to ex-
ercise the greatest caution. In a
majority of cases the fatalities occur
among those who do not know how
to swim. They get in deep water and
are helpless.

PRESIDENT FUTRAlL
 Of UNIVERSITY HERE
Arrives Last Night For Conference Today With State Superintehi-
 ent and Branch Normal Head.

Dr. ]. e C. Futrall, president Of the University of Arkansas, arrived ih Pine Bluff last night for confer ence here today with State Superin- tendent of Education ]. L. Bond and Prof. I. c. Ish, .lr., principal of the Branch Normal college for nc%rGCs.
 Dr. FutIall said he bad been in the southern part of the state, and found the farmers everywhere inclined to grow food crops on patriotic grounds
 The record of university students and former university students in the war was mentioned with pride by pr. Futrall who said the university is pre- pairing to unfurl a service flag which will contain 546 stars. We know there are more of our boys who have gone, but we haven't the names of all, We have the names of 54G students and former students now in the na- tiOns serVice.'
 That the government has decided to accept the offer of the university to use the engineering department for the technical training of men was in- dicated by the receipt by Dr. Futrall Of telegram from the war depart ment saying an official of that de partment would visit Fayetteville at once to inspect the equipment and de termine how many men can be train ed there. It is expected that the gov ernment will send army men to the university May 1 or June 1, and that they will remain until October.
 The faculty of the Branch normal now is exceptionally strong, said the university president, in discussing the work at the school with State Sena tor Creed Caldwell, who commended the work being done at the institu tion, especially in the manual train ing and agricultural departments For the amount of money spent or it, said the senator, "the Branch normal is doing more real good thar any school in the state"

Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like wcll-built houses, must have tradition behind them, writes Henry Scidel Canby in the Yale Review. The HomerS and Snake spcares and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like native trees that grow so well no' where else. ,i'h, little writers-~hacks. who spnlimentalize to the latest order, and display their plot novelties hke bargains oD an advertising p0ge-are inst as traditional. The only differ ence is that their tradition goes back to books instead of life. Middlc-sized authors--the very good and the prop abIy cnduring~-are successful larselv because they have grippod tradi'lop ana followed it through to contelh' porary life. That is what Thackeray
 did in "VaAity Tair," Howells in ''Ihe Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whaf- top ill "The House of Mirth.' bot hack-ttr nature books-hcth sound ones and those shameless exposures of Fhe private emotions of ground~Eogs ana turtles that call themselves oature books-are the most traditional or all. For they plunge directly into wna1 might he called the adventures or tne American suhconscicnsness.
