strange circumstances under which
Private Carl knudtson Of Washburn

for whom memorial exercises were

"On September l. we rushed the

the bOche well on the run, except the
machine gunners, who were busy

my gun and putting me to sleep for
about four hours. Boys Of my own
company saw me fall and naturally be

reached their objective, a number Of
men were detailed to bury the dead.

Porker No Longer Considered

es of Dakotas.

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 30.-pioneers OF
the "old days" in this and the Black
Hills district remember when hog
raising was frowned on and it was
not unusual for a traveller to move
from the Missouri river to Deadwood
and not see a single porker. How
times have changed.
Several ranchcrs on the Cheyenne
river, recently shipped two solid
train loads of hogs. 1t has been re-
ported that some hog raisers have
been getting panicky and unloading
their animals at any price available
but other stocllmen, it is said, have
refused to become worried by trade
rumOrS.
The development Of the alfalfa in
dustry has stimulated hog raising IN
South Dakota, 1t is claimed.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

Through Bulletin No. Is, issued by
the war department, stringent regula-
tions have been formulated relative to
sending packages to soldiers and SAIL
ors in France or Europe. This regula-
ton goes into effect and is in force on
and after April Is. Relatives and
friends of those in the service should
bear the order in mind, because even
should packages be accepted at local
post office they would never reach
their destination. When sending pack
ages under the instructions set forth
1t is the safets plan to place directions
inside the package as we'll as outside,
but with out single word other than
the plain address on the card or slip.
Bulletin No. Is reads:
I'm future shipments of any articles
to members of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces abroad will be limited
to those articles which have been re-
quested by the individual to whom
same is to be shipped, such request
having been approved by his regimen
tai or higher commander. Parcels post
shipments will be accepted by the post
office authorities and other shipments
by express or freight companies only
upon presentation of the above ap-
proved request in each individual
case"
The Oroville postmaster announces
that after April Is he will rigidly en-
force the law requiring knowledge OF
contents Of packages sent through the
office addressed to men in any branch
Of the service abroad and insist that
packages be securely and properly
wrapped and plainly addressed.

A CORRECTION,

This paper evidently did two men a
rank injustice in the last issue. In
these days of high tension, when any
act that savors of opposition in any
way to the government is looked upon
with disfavor, suspicion too often falls
upon the wrong persons. Recently a
strike occurred among those working
on the irrigation system, and it was
reported that the strike was instigated
by two men named Leigh and Romeo.
the latter a native of Chill, who has
lived around Oroville for some two
years. The Gazette stated that under
the circumstances these men needed
watching. Now it is claimed by those
acquainted with the men mentioned
that they are both loyal, and that
claim is evidently correct, for during
the past week both of them left for
Seattle and have enlisted in the navy.
Ii is foreign from the inclination of the
editor of this paper to misrepresent
any one, and especially so regarding
a man S loyalty, as he would prefer to
believe and feel that every man liv-
ing under the stars and stripes was
true to the flag. The Gazette hastens
to correct the error committed and
extends congratulations to Leigh and
Romeo for this evidence that their
hearts are in the right place.

:. HE CANNOT BE SPARED.

A year ago Mr.. c. M. Zediker, sup
erintendent of the irrigation project
offered his services as an engineer to
the War Department. The Engineering
corps were all filled and Mr.. Zediker
accepted the appointment with the
Irrigation District.
This week word was received that
Mr.. Zediker's services would be accep-
table in May. The conditions within
the irrigation district are such that it
is practically impossible for a new
man to take over the operation of the
system and the officials of the dis
trict at. once interposed objections to
loosing Mr.. Zedeker now, unless abso-
lLtely necessary. 1t would be almost
impossible to find competent super.
intendent at this time and a new man
would not be able to acquaint himself
with the system in time to permit him
to successfully manage the project.
The production Of all food stuffs is
so important, and the reliance on ir-
rigated farms as sure source of pro-
duction is such that the successful
management Of an irrigation project
becomes of the first Importance.
When the government officials under
stand the local conditions they will
doubtless assign Mr.. Zediker to this
work for the balance Of the this year
at least.
The entire irrigation project is
placed in excellent shape for the
season and the highest hopes are en-
tertained for record year in crop
production. Mr.. Zediker has demon
strated his ability to handle the many
problems arising under a new project
and the community can not afford to
loose his services.

YOUR COUNTRY APPEALS TO YOU

The women of France are ploughing
in the fields that the men of their
army may be fed. Will not the women
OF America lend money to their coun-
try that their own fighting men may be
provided for?
The women of England, from the
highest to the humblest, are toiling in
the munitions factories to make guns
and shells for their soldiers. Will not
the women of America do that far
easier thing of merely lending the
money to buy the guns for euuipping
the American men?
The safety for which these women
OF other lands are striving was won
for American women long ago by the
swords OF American men. To preserve
this safety for you and your children.
American men are now marching to
battle even as their forefathers march
ed Will American women stand shoul-
der to shoulder with them? They are
offering their lives as gift. Will you
offer your dollars as a loan?
TO save your homes from the flames
that are now destroying France, your
babies from the sword that murdered
infants in Poland, your daughters
| from the hordes that ravished Belgian
women even as they fled through the
| streets, American men are making the
| supreme sacrifice. What sacrifice will
you make to help equip these defend
ers OF your country? What will you
give up that you may help finance the
| struggle to save American freedom?
Not gift, but loan is asked of you
Not free loan, but loan with inter-
est Will you withhold your money
while men offer their blood? Buy a
Liberty Bond for your country's sake
Put it in your own name. Buy one for
| the daughter it may save. Buy one for
| the boy too small to fight.

A DELIGHTFUL PROGRAM,

Those who had charge of getting up
the musical entertainment for the
benefit of the Armenian sufferers,
given in the Orpheum Tuesday evening
are to be congratulated upon the rare
excellency of the same. This paper
made no mistake when it promised
the citizens of Oroville that the musi-
cal event would prove to be the best
ever given in the town, for such it
was voted to have been by all the
large audience that crowded the hail.
The setting for the performers was
charmingly arranged, the stage be-
ing profusely decorated with the nat
ional colors and the footlights SCREEN
ed with potted plants. The town is
fortunate in having number of ex-
ceptionally proficient musicians both
vocalists and instrumentalists, and
the local talent on this occasion was
recruited with one of the most finished
pianists Of Loomis. 1t was warm and
appreciative audience that the per-
formers faced, and encores were de-
manded with every number. Where all
did so we'll it would be invidious to
particulariZe. Besides the musical Sc
lections two short addresses were
made. Rev. U. l.. Smothers, pastor Of
the Methodist church, made a fervent
patriotic four minute talk at the
opening of the concert in which he
urged is as special duty for every
resident of the place to get on the
honor roll in the buying of Liberty
Loan bonds. P. M. Snider spoke at
some length upon the general history
OF Armenia and present conditions in
that unhappy country, showing from
lndisputable evidence that the suffer-
ing people needed all the aid and
assistance that America can possibly
contribute. The closing number was
1.-The Star Spangled Banner" sung by
the audience standing, and from the
vim with which the audience respond
ed it was evident that the old flag had
no end of devoted friends in the assem-
bly,. Quite a handsome sum was clear
ed for the Armenian fund. The follow
ing persons took part in the musical
feature of the entertainment: Mes
danes Lewis, Redhead, Taylor, Star
rett Gutemay, Riste, Retzer, and Miss
Mitchell and Miss Domerese. Mrs
Masters and Miss Brinnan gave read
lngs and Mr.. Fl. r. Gregg rendered a
chellO solo.
