AFTER THE KAISER.

The newspaper men Of OkanOgan
county are not only doing their "bit"
by consistently supporting the gov
eminent in the present war in their
editorial columns, and by handling the
enormous amount of press matter that
is asked of them by the various
branches of the government. but they
are sending their own flesh and blood
to the front to fight the battles of those
who stay at home.
Frank M. Dallam of the OrOville
Gazette has two sons who volunteered
at the beginning of the war-Frank Jr.
and Lawrence-who are now at Long
Island awaiting transportation to
France. They will be among the first
of the Yankees to engage the Huns.
Two of the sons of Editor Dave Gill
lespie of the Brewster Herald were al

4 LOCAL ORGANIZATION,

The business men of Oroville have
organized local branch of the de-
partment of commercial economy of
the State Council of Defense, an out
growth of the meeting of the busi-
ness men of the state held at Seattle
some weeks ago, at which time and
place Charles A. Powell, manager of
the OrOville Commercial company,
was made chairman of the Okanogan
district. The local business men enter
eel into the proposition with a great
deal of enthusiasm, and propose to
carry out the suggestions as formulat-
ed at the state convention. Two well
attended meetings have been held here
and an organization perfected by the
election of w. B. SeXson as chairman.
and w. B. Mishler, secretary. A circu-
lar that is to be distributed to every
patron of the various business enter
prises has been formulated and issued
which reads
Regulations being carried out by the
State Council of Defense, recommend
ed by the federal government, to put
retailing o ma war basis, to go into
effect January 7, 1918:
THAT all stores make only one de-
livery day to a customer.
2-That all stores extend credit for
not to exceed 80 days.
3'-That all stores emphasize econo.
mical goods and staples in their win.

the state to volunteer. These boys are
now supposed to be on their way to
France.
Now comes Harry Marble of the
Twisp News with the announcement
that his son Ralph, though long way
short of draft age, has entered the ma
rine corps and is in San Francisco
training.
Frank Holden, late editor of the
Brewster Review, is also among the
Okanogan county boys wearing Uncle
Sans uniform He is now at American
Lake.
viii Van Liew, stepson of c. p.
Scates, formerly Of the county press
gang. is in the aviation corps, now To-
Gated at Fort Still, Oklahoma.
May these boys return home safely
after the kaiser is dethrOned and the
German war machine obliterated, and
know the boys well enough to pre-
dict that they will not return until
then il they have their way about it

every profession and industry to aid
in the successful prosecution of the
war, and one of the most important
branches is that of draughtsmen and
engravers. Mr.. Peterson's duty is the
making of maps, and in the present
day of scientific warfare map making,

Both boys are delighted with the SER

mates about every man wearing the
uniform. So far as supplies are con-
cerned, Mr.. Peterson reports that in
the camp where he is stationed there
is no privation whatever, and if any
soldier is shy blankets and clothing it
is because he has put the same in hook
for tobacco or some other luxury. He
reports the feed issued by the govern
ment is the best that is, and the boys
ought to grow fat on the rations.

HOW FARMERS CAN HELP
WIN THE WAR.

A great many farmers of the coutny
have already stated their intention of
purchasing breeding swine to help out
in the present national crisis; how
ever, the are great number who are
in a position to join the ranks of the
breeders, but have made no move as
yet in this direction. Now, every farm
should have at least one or two sows
that will raise litter during the COM
ing season.
Some may say that they cannot at
foru to buy $500 wheat to feed hogs.
Quite true. And that is the very thing
we do not want them to do. Wheat is
just as much in demand as pork by
the men at the front of the battle line,
and it is just as much of a patriotic
duty to save the wheat as it is to raise
more hogs. But there are other solu-
tions to the problem.
There are other feeds for hogs that
will be of greater value in putting
more pork on the pigs than will wheat.
Tc be sure, wheat is strong food,
and hogs will undoubtedly do we'll
when having considerable proportion
Of their daily food made up of wheat.
But hogs will make more rapid in
crease in weight when fed certain
other foods than they do with wheat as
the main element in the feed.
Every sarm has a certain amount of
waste material on it, that may as we'll
be fed to hogs. and will be found to
turn into profit instead of waste. In
fact it will be better disposed of thus,
than to be left to rot and caue dissa-
greeable conditions about the premises
il left lying around. For example,
there is often apples, potatoes, cab
bage leaves that are not used on the
table, potato pealings, soured milk,
whey, buttermilk, table scraps, and
many other things one might mention
that are ordinarily allowed to go to
waste; these things make some of the
best of pig feed when properly han
dlde. Along with this refuse material
feed little legune hay (pigs are es-
pecially fond of alfalfa or clover) and
mix such grains as rolled barley
middlings, wheat bran, corn, and per-
haps some tankage or molasses; the
main thing is to put something OF
value into the mixture that will give
the iced more substance and bulk.
Now do not understand that we are
advocating these things as the best
mixtures upon which to fatten hogs
but rather as cheap sort of feed that
is largely going to waste on the ma
jority of farms, which may be used to
keep the breeding stock through the
season until new crop can be grown
or which to fatten off the young pigs
AS a practical illustration, farmer
living near Omak told the county agent
recently about his method of getting
rid of some Gull apples, so sour that
the pigs did not care for them. He
overcome this difficulty by cooking
them and mixing the apples with a
ration of shorts one sack to five boxes
of apples, and found that the pigs ate
them with great relish. Besides max.
ing good use of the Gull fruit he was
| able to save one sack of shorts to ev.
cry five boxes used.
Later in the summer suggestions
will appear in these columns giving
economic rations for feeding and fat.

hardship on the general public, and
are an advantage to the merchant and
dealer in many respects, as we'll as to
the employed clerks. If such regula-
tions will in the remotest degree con-
tribute toward improving the econo-
mic conditions so as to aid in the sue
cessful carrying on of the war every
loyal man in business should cheer
fully cooperate and the public should
lend all the aid possible to make the
movement productive of good. Such a
course as suggested will undoubtedly
be benefit in war time or the federal
government would not have advanced
and endorsed the plan as laid down.

UNFOUNDED REPORTS.

An idea prevails in some quarters
that the packages sent to the soldiers
by the Red Cross do not reach their
destination. These reports are put out
for the purpose of throwing doubt up
on the value of the services of this
great patriotic organization, and un-
doubtedly originated among those
who at heart are sympathizers with
the enemies of this country. We pub
lish two or three letters this week
from boys in the service acknowledge
ing the receipt of Red Cross boxes,

FROM LADS IN KHAKI.

Residents of the Looihis neghbor-
hood know Alvin Smith, a son of the
late Cecilia Thorp, who was born and
grew up to mans estate in that local
ity. Smiths strong hold was horse
wrangling, and he did not occupy a
niche in the hall of fame in the esti-
nation of those who knew him best.
Like many another young man, the
war was Smiths opportunity, and is
bringing out the best that is in him.
He was drafted and was sent to Camp
Lewis. His ability to handle horses was
at once recognized, and he was detail
ed to look after the horses at the
promotion. 1t was a slight promotion,
but evidence that his ability was ap-
preciated, for he was made a corpral.
Smith has no relatives to remember
him in the service, and few friends. In
the Distribute nof service kits the Red
Cross branch at Loomis did not for
get Alvin Smith, and the following let
ter received by the president of the
Red Cross society shows that Smith
fully appreciated the kindness and
expresses that appreciation as neatly
as could be done by men of greater
educational advantages or who occupy
higher positions in the walks of life
President, Red Cross Society Loo
mis-, Washington
Permit me to express to the society,
through you, my appreciation and
many thanks for the kind regard of
your society as shown by remembering
me with a service bag. We are all do
ing our part, and it is gratifying in
deed to know that our efforts are be-
ing appreciated.
Yours in the service of our country,
CORPORAL ALVIN SMITH.
The Loomis Red Cross also received
the following letter of thanks from
Sgt H. w. Champneys:
The writer wishes to thank the Red
Cross of Loomis for their thoughfoul-
ness in sending the comfort bag. 1t is
certainly appreciated. Whoever got to-
gether the contents of this bag GER
tainly knew just exactly what a SOL
dier needed, and went to whole lot
of trouble and expense
Again assuring you of my apprecia-
] tion, and wishing all the members a
| merry Christmas, | am
Yours respectfully,
