NO WORSE TO WORK ON SUN
DAY THAN FIGHT ON SUNDAY

The contention has been made in
some portions of this country that
all work ought to cease on Sunday
Indeed, some states still have Blue
Laws, under which Sunday workers
are liable to punishment. Just now
the one great thing is to win the
war, and since our enemy fights on
Sunday, our troops also must fight,
and we have heard of no objection
TO our boys winning a fight on Sun
day. We are constantly urged to
back them up in all possible ways,
and one effective way is to work
seven days in the week if necessary
TO conserve food or make the mu-
nitions and ships so necessary to
the winning of the war

% COUNTIES FELL SHORT IN
WAR SAVINGS DRIVE.

A report from the State War
Savings committee just received.
shows that of the thirty-nine
counties in this state four turned in
the amount allotted to them. six
went over the top, and twenty-nine
fell short in amounts ranging from
seven thousand dollars TO three mil
lion dollars. Chelan county is one
of the six counties that exceeded its
allotment by one hundred thousand
dollars. King county fell short three
million dollars.
Right here we make the point
that subscribing more than we are
asked to subscribe may show fine
patriotic spirit but lacks foundation
in good judgment. That by the
method adopted to determine the
amount each county was to raise we
were given our fair share, we may
take for granted. Having raised the
amount allotted to us We have done
all that is expected and there is no
good reason in economy why we
should do more. BY so much as we
raise more than is apportioned to US
we are helping the Stacker counties
to make up the amount allotted to
the state Every tub ought to stand
on its own bottom Then again,
there will come on us other demands
very shortly, TO be followed by still
others, and by so much as we give
more than is asked of US now will
it be harder to raise future allot-
ments.
In the future let US do our best to
raise the amounts apportioned to
Chelan county but not try to raise
a hundred thousand more, as we did
in the June-July drive.

Dear Mother: 1t has been some t1me since
1 wrote you a letter. but 1T seems am
getting to be more lazy every day. This
letter of yours that / am going to answer
now was written on the 22nd of June.
Yes, it will be fifteen months the 22nd
of this month since l left home to join
the army, and / sure Will be glad TO see
the old home again!
1 am getting the papers as usual, but
I was sorry to note in them about the
foothold the Nonpartisans were obtaining
in the northwest, electing member of
their party as governor of North Dakota.
Here the young man deals in roast
for Lindbergh and his followers and says
the soldiers want the people at home to
defeat Townleyism, as they look upon it
as a menace.]
Yes, things are looking bright for us on
the other side at present, and they sure
are keeping those Germans on the run.
l do not read very much about the war,
only the head lines, but it certainly looks
good Tell Mr.. Schwanenberg 1 would
like to be over there also with George,
but 1 was sent down here to do my bit,
and here l must stay until they deem II
necessary to send me elsewhere, and !
sure would like to get out of here and
see some snappy weather and some ac-
ton. I never will go in the tropics again
if / can help it. 1t may be alright for
people from the southern part of our
country, but give me the country with
the four seasons every time. When you
get up in the morning in the northern
states you feel like moving around and
getting hustle on you.
Am enclosing you a clipping from The
Police Gazette 1 saw the other day, show
ing the McHugh boy. son of Mr.. Mike
McHugh, and Joe Meyers, son of Mr..
William Meyers, who works at the cruit
house AS you will see they are shown

nized them Immediately. With lots of

John lilly, a young man nineteen

Lieutenant Decosta of the United
States recruiting service in Mime
sofa. lilly was seized on the street
by Lieutenant Decosta and a sergeant
and taken to the city hall where the

Tilly demanded a trial by jury and
the court ruled that he was entitled
to this. Lieutenant Decosta being
unable to remain in the city until a

WANT PETERSON DISBARRED
Petition Is To Be Presented to the
e nm State Supreme Court.

PetiItion Is To Be Presented to the
M State Supreme Court.
Disbarment of James A. Peterson OF
Minneapolis will be asked of the su-
preme court in petition to be filed
in few days by the state board of
law examiners, it became known to-
day. The petition probably will be filed
at the same time as the petition for
disbarment of Albert Pfaender of New
IAm, says The New Ulm Journal.
This action follows expulsion of
both attorneys from the Minnesota Bar
association last week at Faribault,
for antiwar utterances, which led to
Peterson's conviction under the es-
pionage act and Pfeander' removal by
Goveror J. A. A. Burnquist as city at
torney of New Ulm.
The first action by the supreme
court will be to appoint referees to
take testimony in both cases. The
hearings may be pronged, but it is
possible they will be shortened by
using in the Pfaender case record of
testimony taken for Governor Burn
quist by James H. Hall, as commits
sicner and in the Peterson case the
record of his trial and conviction in
federal court. After testimony has
been completed there will be argu-
rlents before the court. which then
will decide whether the two attorneys
shall be barred from further practice
of law.
The board of law examiners, it was
stated today, decided its action in
both cases by unanimous vote.
