CANADIAN AND ENGLISH
RECRUITS ARE WANTED

Corporal G. A. White, with head
quarters at Wenatchee, connected
with the British and Canadian re-
cruiting service, was here Wednes-
day. He is endeavoring to enlist
subjects of Great Britain and Cana
da who reside in the United States.
This action was recently made legal
by act of congress. Between acts
at the theater Wednesday evening
he was introduced by Mayor Hale
and made an appeal to his fellow
country men. Mr.. White served in
the trenches in France and related
some of his experience there. AL
ready he has secured the enlistment
of a number of men. Under the
law he can conscript British and
Canadian subjects in this country
who are liable to military service.
A half dozen or more are known to
be in this vicinity who are subject
to service.
A number of those who heard
Corporal Whites address pronounce
it one of the best they have heard
and remarked that it would have
been a good thing if every German
citizen could have heard him.

BANKS ADOPT NEW RULES
AS TO CHECKING ACCOUNTS
Will Hereafter Charge 25 Cents
per Month on Accounts Show
ing Balance Under $50

From the first of this month on
the Leavenworth bank will follow
the custom adopted by banks all
over the state and make the modest
charge of rs cents per month on all
checking accounts where the month
ly average is below $50, provided
checks have been drawn against the
account during the month.
This fee does not apply to ac-
counts of churches, or their auxilia-
ries, clubs, etc., explained Wenat-
chee banker to the World the first
of this week, nor if the total of
the customers affiliated accounts
averages $50 or over, or in other
words, if the customer has other
accounts such as savings, certificate
of deposit, etc., which total $50 or
more. This fee will be collected or
deducted from the account on the
first of every month beginning on
March 1st and will be based on the
average balance for the previous
month.
The services which a modern bank
renders its patrons have materially
increased within the last few years
and the public has rapidly appreci-
ated their value and made use of
them. The person who does not
maintain a checking account is an
exception. In reality the bank does
the individuals bookkeeping and
provides him with a receipt for ev-
cry expenditure, besides furnishing
a depository for his funds.
1t is not the desire of the banks
to restrict this service, local bankers
assert, but to prevent its resulting
in an actual loss to them.
eve are sure" said the Wenat-
chez banker, "that the small depo-
sitor does not expect his bank to
carry his account at an actual loss
to chem. Nor will he feel that the
banks are restricting their services
to the community when the matter
is fully understood. 1t is not the
desire of the banks to make this
charge and they earnestly desire
that their customers will see fit to
build up their accounts so that a
charge will not be necessary. All of
the banks will be pleased to explain
the charge more fully in case any
of their depositors do not under
stand it."

shipment, buyer must pay for the
car at invoice and look to the car
rier for relief. Had this rule been
effective last fall, scores of thou
sands of dollars would have been
saved to the growers and shippers
of the Northwest; they would have
received invoice on their shipments
and buyers would have been obliged
to carry the railway claims which
now are carried by the shippers.
Bear this in mind, however. The
contract of sale governs. In other
words in order that the buyer be
made responsible, sales must be
made on the basis of f. o. b. ship
ping point. We have had during
the last three years a Sellers
market" particularly this year. In
years of adverse conditions where
the advantage lies with the buyers
which may result to purchase on a
delivered basis, in which case the
responsibility for making sound de-
liveries at point of destination will
rest with the seller.
The Exchange is intensely graft
fed that it has had this opportu-
nifty of participating in move
ment which it consistently believes
will result in a profound and far
reaching improvement of the mo-
rale of the fruit trade and unques-
.tionably result in the elimination of
irresponsible elements in both the
shipping and buying branches of
the trade. Hereafter buyers will
not place orders unless they actual
ly intend to take and pay for them
if as represented. Likewise, legi-
innate buyers will hereafter exer
else great caution as to the brands
of goods purchased and the charac-
ter and the responsibility of the
shipper from whom they are pur-
chasing.
This Exchange and its clients
have nothing to fear under the new
regime, but welcome this clearing
of the situation and this opportuni- \
ty of capitalizing the high class
facilities for grading, packing and
shipping which have been provided
by it's clients, and of the advertis- !
ing and modern merchandising em-
ployed by itself.
A new day has dawned and at
once shippers in the Northwest
who are doing bushes along mod
ern direct lines are coming rapidly
into their own.

PATIENCE MAY CEASE TO BE
VIRTUE.

If there is no law to deal with
traitors in this country the day is
not far off when traitors will be
summarily dealt with, law or no
law. There are traitors all over
this country whose disposition to
aid the enemy by talking against
enlistment, against the Red Gross,
indeed, against verything that tends
to make the United States effective
in the war We are told that one
man said he hoped that every ship
carrying American soldiers across
the Atlantic would sink. If the
truth of this statement can be
proven the man who writes these
lines will join four others and help
hang that man until he is dead, in
broad daylight, and take the con-
sequences of his act.

ONLY 80 DAYS FLOUR SUPPLY
ALLOWED.

According to instructions issued
by Mr.. Hebberd, the federal food
administrator for Washington, only
80 days supply of flour will be
allowed to a family. All over that
is subject to confiscation. Those
having large supplies of flour on
hand, bought before the food regu-
lations went into effect, are asked
to return it to the merchant, and
many in Spokant have already done
so. Every ounce of flour in this
country will be needed before an
other crop is made for the allies
and the soldiers in the trenches.
Patriotic citizens can do no more
worthy act than help out by return
ing -four so it can be sold to other
local consumers and thus make
-four. available for export.

AMERICAN LUMBERJACkS
CUT DOWN, ENGLISH FORESTS
Ancestral Forests a Thousand Years
Old Gladly Given to Help
Win the War.

What few other sections of the
country could give to the war New
England gave. She sent 300 lumber
jacks to England.
They are helping cut down the
historic English forests in order
that timber may go to the allies as
they need it. For billets and bridg-
es and trenches and dugouts depend
upon the work of lumbermen.
I This is the story of the New
England lumberjack in England.
England's ancestral forests, jeal-
ously guarded by many generations
of Englishmen, are rapidly being
cut down by American Drawn.
Word of this latest sacrifice of
this country recently in reports of
the progress of the ten sawmill
units which New England contribut-
ed to the commn warfare against
autocracy.
These units, numbering over 300
sturdy lumberjacks, recruited by
the Boston cmmittee on public safe
ty, from the backwoods of Maine,
New Hamphire and Vermont, have
been busily engaged for some time
in the forests around which much
of tn best of English literature has
been written.
History in the making rather
than that of centuries past, how
ever, caves its impression upon the
northwoods representatives of
America as they turn out in hun
dreds of thousands of of feet the
lumber necessary to army progress
in constructing billets, bridges,
trenches, dugouts and the other re-
quirements of Mars.
AS they level the forests which
are the last strongholds of Old
England many of their forefathers
knew the men are unmoved by i'm
agination, except when some luni-
berjack conjures up mental pic
ture of the forces responsible for
Belgium and the Lusitania, ana
swings an extra vigorous and vi
cious stroke in consequence
The units are scattered along the
banks of a river for ten miles and
each is a small community in it
self, gathered around a central hut
presided over by Young Mems
Christian association secretary,
where the men assemble for amuse-
ment in their leisure hours.
To illustrate the inexhaustible en-
ergy of the men-the statement
that basket ball is the most popular
amusement after hours of vigorous
work mans much to those who
know the strenuous possibilities of
the game.
During their Christmas holidays
over half the men paid visit to
London wher they were accommo-
dated at the Eagle Hut of the
American Young Mems Christian
association. Several days were
spent acquiring experiences which
will be retold in American lumber
ing camps for many years to come.
