GOVERNMENT PUTS COUNTRY
NEWSPAPER ON CASH BASIS
Subscription Must be Paid in Advance
Violation Leads to Punishment.

According to a notice sent out by
the government, after Sept. 1st any
country newspaper publisher who
sends his paper to a subscriber who
is three months or more in arrears
on subscription, it liable to punish
ment by fine or having his paper ex-
cluded from the mails. Every three
months the publisher must make a
sworn statement in which he must
state he has not violated this and
other regulations. The publisher can
not, under these regulations, send a
paper to his father or mother, unless
they pay the regular subscription
rate. He cannot exchange papers
with publishers outside of the county
in which the paper is printed. A lot
of other restrictions are provided, but
those mentioned are the most import
ant and far reaching.
The one ray of sunshine in the
whole batch is that the publisher will
lose those subscribers who took his
paper a year or two and then ordered
it stopped because it was no good and
not worth the price.

ALL COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS
MUST CUT DOWN THE SIZE
Not Permitted to Send Paper to Sub
scribers Three Months Behind in
Subscription.

A Washington dispatch in the daily
press of Monday indicates further
restrictions on the circulation of the
country newspaper. The paper short
age is the alleged reason. Following
is the dispatch;
Washington, d. c., Aug. 24.-Re-
duction of 25 per cent of all publica-
ton space in excess of eight pages
for country weekly newspapers was
ordered yesterday by Chairman Bar
usch of the. War Industries board.
Other features of a conservative plan
for newsprint paper which by this or
der is extended to include the country
weeklies are discontinuance of papers
to subscribers three months after
subscriptions expire, stopping use of
free copies for exchanges within the
same county or a forty-mile radius,
stopping of publication of extra copies
for advertising stimulation and stop
page of returns of unsold copies from
news dealers.
The war committee of the country
weekly publishers presented the plan
which was accepted by Chairman
Barusch.

War Workers Make Crab and
Plum Jelly for Soldiers.

Fifty quarts of jelly for the can
tonments was the finished product at
the War Workers room on Saturday.
Crab apple and plum jelly will add
much to the soldiers meal and re-
mind him of the jelly Grandma used
to give him at home.
Fifty quarts of jelly is a small
amount for large cantonment, but
for the average family it means $50
glasses of jell, a glass for every day
in the year, except two. The Amer1-
can family who does without jell this
year is giving fifty quarts to the sol
diers.

U. S. SOIL SURVEYORS NOW
WORKING IN CHfIAN COUNTY
Government Scientists Want Coop
Grafton of Farmers in Their
Work

The soils of the Washington area,
in which is included Chelan county,
are now being surveyed by a party
from the bureau of soils, United
States department of agriculture,
working in cooperation with the
state of Washington.
The party consists of A. E. Cocher.
The soil surveyors will visit every
section of the county, constructing a
base map, plotting the soil areas and
boundaries, making borings to OBJ
tain samples of the top and sub
soils. Much of their information
will be gathered from the practical
experiences of farmers in the county.
Many of the readers of the Echo
will doubtless meet these men at
work. Through the columns of this
paper the federal department asks
for them the hearty cooperation
which will greatly help them in their
work and add to the value of the
published report 1t is stated that
these representatives of the govern
ment carry Identification cards which
they will gladly show anyone desir-
ing to be assured of their identity.
The purpose of this survey, from
the practical point of view, is to
help the farmer or home seeker to
adapt farming operations to soil
types or to select the locations
where the soils are adapted to the
kind of farming in which he de
sires to engage. From the scien-
tifc point of view such a survey fur
nishes fundamental basis for the
study of any other agricultural
problems that may be undertaken in
the county. About one-third of the
United States has already been COW
cred by such surveys.
The information collected, togeth-
er with colored soil map of the
county, will be available for free
distribution later to the residents
of the country.

LAKE WENATCHEf SHINGLE
MILL BURNED LAST SUNDAY
Caught From Engine Spark-Will be
Rebuilt as Quick as Possible.

News was received here Monday
that the shingle mill at the foot of
Wenatchee lake was entirely destroy
ed last Sunday afternoon. A spark
from the engine alighted in a pile of
saw dust and before it could be extin-
guished the fire spread to the mill and
in an incredibly short space of time
the entire structure was in ashes.
The mill was built some six years ago
and has run every season. Because
of the fact that there is a large lot
of bolts on hand and a ready market
for the output, it is reported that Mr..
Kohlhase, the owner, will rebuild the
mill at once. Whether there was any
insurance, we have not been able to
learn.

OBITUARY

On the morning of the 25th of
August, 1918, little Billy Pentz pass
ed away, after very short illness.
His death came as a great shock
to all who were with him at the last,
as he had seemed to rally short time
before EVERYTHING that could be,
was done to hold him with us. but the
Intimate God has called, and his little
spirit answered the summons of the
Giver of life.
A great many gardens yielded their
choisest blossoms. and Mrs. Town laid
little Billy as lovingly and tenderly as
a mother her sleeping babe, in his
white, white, casket, literally imbed-
ed in a bower of flowers.
Sleep on in thy beauty,
Thou sweet angel child;
By sorrow unblighted,
BY sin undefiled.
Like a dove to the ark,
Thou hast flown to thy rest;
From the wild sea of strife,
To the home of the blest.
Billy had endeared himself to all
who knew him, and had a host of
friends.
He leaves to mourn him, a mother
and father, Minnie and J. l. Pentz;
sister. Hazel, and two brothers, Clare
and Russell.
Little Billy was born in Leaven-
worth, Oct. Gath. 1914.
The family leave Thursday morn
ing for Dubois, Penn, where the re-
mains will be laid to rest beside other
relatives
They will be greatly missed, and
carry with them the sympathy of
their many friends. aug 30*

OVERCHARGE ON FUEL
GIVEN TO RED CROSS

County Fuel Administrator White
was here the first of this week and
turned over to Mrs. Westcott a check
for $25.75, which was an overcharge
made by one of the local fuel men,
and grew out of an ovcrcharge made
by the jobber who sold the coal. Be
cause it was almost impossible to as
certain just where the overcharges
would have to go, it was decided, after
the amount was collected from the
iobber, to turn the amount over TO
the local Red Cross.
