L. H. Prentice was at Okanogan
for two or three days during the past
week and while there attended the
Chautauqua entertainments. He
states that single entertainment was
worth the entire price of a season
ticket, the lectures being exception
ally interesting and instructive.
The local fire department did quick
work and good work at the fire in
the Orpheum theater Saturday even
ing. The town is fortunate in having
such excellent fire protection. And it
is also exceedingly fortunate that
every fire occurs on days or nights
when the wind is not blowing gale
DR.. D. H. Lewis and S. B. Starrett

ever enjoyed in the county.

Talk about loyalty to country and
self-sacrifice for democracy this coun-
try Is not in it with our neighbors Just
across the international boundary line.
AS a proof of this statement We call
especial attention to the record of
TWO Canadian families as set forth in
a report of wedding that took place
at Penticton the other day. Look
over the list of those men who offered
their services to their country, who
died, who bled and who suffered for
their country. 1t is a record that
any family could point to with pride.
Moreover, in every instance the serv-
ice was voluntary. These men re-
lsponded to the call when their coun-
try was in danger. Some fell with
their face to the foe, and the surviv-
ors are still facing the foe, ready to
die in the cause if that sacrifice is
required. 1t is such supreme pluck,
and gallantry that made it possible
FOR Canada, with its sparse population,
to send half million of the best SOL

Say; by Joe it was good to hear the
strains of the cornet band again
Tuesday evening. Why the town peo-
pie did not really and fully appreciate
the old band until it disintregated
and the town fell into silence that was
anything but cheerful. OF course we
were all proud of the old band. a
band that made a reputation for be-
ing one of the best small town bands
in the state, but we took that as a
matter of course, because so many
people from outside repeated praises
of the organization. We thought il
was fixture, and it was hard to adj
just ourselves to being a musicless
community when it quit. And when
the notes from brass foated out over
town Tuesday evening it awakened
memories of the past, pleasant memo
, ries, and We overheard more than one

hope that the band would reorganize
permanently. There are still a few

Those who had the good fortune to
participate in the dance given by the
Young Ladies' Knitting club last Fri
day night say that it was one of the
most pleasant social affairs of the
kind that has been held in Oroville
for many months. There was a large
attendance, excellent music and the
young ladies cleared quite a comfort

Several residents Of Oroville made

Sunday, and report having had

VIM. Dedra, one OF the old time
sheep men and ranchers of the Pine
creek country, was in town Monday
|, on business. He stated that the crops
in his part of the county were passed

the present failure staring them in

only half crop last year.

Frequently the cattle are driven to
the pound and the owners taxed a
small sum for the trouble. Under the
town ordinance fine of $40 is pro-
vided as a punishment for permitting
stock to run at large, but that fine
has never been enforced 1t is under
stood that it is the intention of the
authorities to enforce that part of the
stock ordinance. A few $40 fines
would cure the habit.
Do you realize that under the rul
! ing of the food administration no
family is permitted to have on hand
more than single 40 pound sack of

bursed for the flour. Failure to COM
ply with this rule is liable to get one
in a peck of trouble Reducing the
home supply of flour to single sack
will work no hardship on any one,
and the object is to help the boys on

that you may have any flour at all.
Steve Knockey was in town Monday
from his ranch on Ellemeham noun
tain He was not up to his usual
form, and there was a reason. He
stated that the crops on the mountain
were desperately in need of moisture,

days the crop would be very materi-

ers have had one discounaging sea-
son, that of last year, when the crops

would hit the farmers hard. Two
failures in succession have never be-

Piper the Hyla believes in this with

run. No, sir, Piper doesn't run from
danger. You see, he jumps That is
what he did the very instant Peter Rab-

watched the little rings on the water
grow wider and wider until finally the
water was smooth again. BY this time
Mr.. Blacksnake had come within speak

terribly afraid Of Mr.. Blacksnake he
had been when he was a teeny, weeny
Rabbit. Now he didn't fear Mr. Black
snake at all.

he were in no hurry at all and as he
