WORKING FOR HUMANITY.

Adjutant Emma j. Anderson, of the
Vile Monday soliciting funds for the
Salvation Army Home, and meeting
with generous response from the resi-
dents of this place. Miss Anderson
is charming Salvation Army lassie
who has frequently visited Okanogan
sion. Miss Anderson thought that this
would be her farewell trip through
this county, as she had had orders to
leave Spokane for st. Paul before she
left home. Members of the Salvation
Army have no permanent residence.
They are under discipline the same as
soldiers. They are enlisted against
the powers of evil, and are liable to
be called to new fields of effort any
day. When the call comes they do
not demur but respond promptly. Be-
lieving this would be her last visit to
Orovlle Miss Anderson was bidding
her friends farewell, and hearing
many regrets expressed over her de-
parture, when she received a dispatch
stating that the order had been re-
scinded and that she would remain in
Spokane. which was very joyful
piece of news to her as she has made
many, many friends in eastern Wash
ington since becoming attached to the
Spokane branch of the Army. She
desires this paper to express her
thanks to the people of Oroville for
their kind and generous response in
1.-THE past and her appreciation for the
reception that has always been ex-
tended to her.

w. s. 8. APPEAL

To the Editor: This Office has re-
quested the newspapers of the County
at various times to publish matter
concerning the War Savings Cam
paign and l feel sure that even though
the war has been won that you will
realize the necessity of boosting this
to finish. Heretobefore articles sent
out have been published over my sig
nature but don't you think that better
results would be obtained if it came
out as an editorial from you.
Okanogan County has one more big
job to finish before the end of this
year. Not half the quota for the
County has, up to this time, been pur-
chased although its full quota was
pledged by the people last June Not
a single Community in the County has
fulfilled it's pledges turned into the
Treasury Department last June. While
the state of Washington is up near the
top among the 4S states in the pur-
chase of War Savings Stamps during
this year this great County of Okanog-
an that has boasted of the fact that it
has always made good the demands of
abe Government, is 3Sth among the 80
counties of the state in the purchase
of War Savings Stamps. 1t would be
a disgrace from which Okanogan
County could never recover itself If,
as the people, we allow this campaign
to close with this county at the tail
end of the list. If the people will
make good their pledges the trick will
be turned and this county will stand
in the place where it should stand, up
near the top.
AS on many former occasions the
Minute Women of Okanogan County
have been called upon in this emer-
gency to save the day. They have
never failed yet, neither have the
people Of Okanogan failed when asked
to do anything for the winning of the
war Of course, the war is already
won but the bills are not all paid by
a considerable margin. There is sew
eral Billion Dollars on the red ink
side of the ledger or will be before the
job lis finished. Let everyone be pre-
pared to make good his or her pledge
before December 18th. If this is not
done the Minute Women will make
second call on all the delinquents. No
true patriot will make it necessary
for the Minute Women to go to this
extra trouble
Sincerely,
HARRY ]. KERR,
County Chairman,

who is In the marines and stationed
at Mare Island, Cal. He complains Of
receiving no mail. and yet the family
writes often. His letter is largely de-
voted to telling the daily routine of a

FOOD SITUATION.

Until the next harvest the utmos,
saving of all staple foods will be ne.
cessary If we are to feed the hungry
millions of Europe and thereby arrest
the spread of social disorder which
threatens the whole of Europe, said
e. II. Neal, County Food Administra-
tor IF we practice the most careful
conservation we can furnish Europe
1S,OOO,O00 to 20,OO0.O00 tons of all
Kinds of foodstuffs. For the satisfac-
tory feeding of all Europe much more
than our available surplus is needed
] "Of Europe's 420,000,000 people, all
but 100000 will require food i'm
ports to carry them through to the
next harvest. Plans have already
been made for supplying deficiencies
of tho l25.O00,000 people of the larger
allies, England, France and Italy.
Our most pressing food task is to
supply the necessities of the $4,000, 900
people of the small countries just lib
Grated from the German yoke. These
include Belgium, Servia, Roumania,
Poland, Lithmania and the Czecho-
Slavaks and Jugo-Slavs. Our first
duty is to re-establish these peoples in
health and comfort. Their full needs
will not be known until Mr. Hoover re-
turns from Europe where he has gone
! to make complete survey of the food
situation. The devastation wrought
by the Huns in France and Belgium
has been repeated in many of these
sections and great quantities of food
will be required to prevent further
misery and starvation.
at will be almost impossible to get
food supplies to the 50,O00,O00 desti-
tute people of northern Russia. The
ports Sf northern Russia will soon be
ice-bound and there has been a COM
plete break down of internal transpOr-
tation. Apparently nothing cam pre-
vent the starvation of millions in Rus
sia this winter.
The 40,O00,000 neutrals of Europe
will make large drafts on our food
reserve just as soon as our control of
exports is released and tonnage is
available.
"The 90,000,000 inhabitants of the
enemy countries are already calling
for food. Regardless of our prciu-
dices against furnishing food to the
enemy countries, we have plain duty
to help in preventing the further
spread of Bolshevism and social dis
order throughout Europe. Any food
