inspiration. Women of every race
and creed are its wards. The <sk
Of the War Work Council is tremend-
ous.
When the United States entered
the great war the Young Women's
Christian Association was, as always,
working among women. With the
call to new duties its members did
not abandon their old sponsibilities.
The War Work Council was formed
as an emergency measure to take
care of the women who were caught
in some Of the mazes of war, just as
the parent organization has taken
care of them through many years OF
peace. The varied activities decided
upon by the War Work Council fol-
low closely the needs of the differ
ent communities Of the country. Sec
retaries trained in the methods OF
the organization were sent out
broadcast. They were instructed to
report to the National Board of the
Young Women's Christian Assocla-
tions in New York the lines of work
which could be best followed in the
various localities. These secretaries
work in close cooperation with min
listers, women's clubs, chambers OF
commerce, charches, military officials,
and charitable societies. The rec.
ord Of days doings Of secretary
reads like a novel, an economic
treatise, and a psychological essay
all compressed into line-a-day entry.
A secretary sent out by the War
Work Council must be equal to any
emergency. Miss Lillian Hull at Chill.
licothe, close by Camp Sherman. hur.
rying along the street at nightfall
came upon a forlorn couple. A Fin.
nish soldier had found job for his
wife, so that she might come on
| from Cleveland. When she arrived
she was refused the place because
she spoke no English. Their money
had been all spent on the railroad
fare, and the soldier was due back
at Camp. The situation was bad.
Thanks to Miss Hull Chillicothiau
housewife now has an industrious
and grateful domestic, soldier Is
happy, and a soldiers wife is safe.
Army folks often benefit even more
directly from the secretaries work
In Bremerton, Washington, a secrs
tary was accosted on the street by a
sailor. She was slender woman
and he had mistaken her for girl
May | walk along with you?" hi
asked.
ASurely," she replied with mature
understanding and intuition. "Wha'
is the matter? Are you homesick"
The lads story came out with
rush. Yes, he was homesick, sc
hopelessly, despairingly heartsick thai
he was on the verge of desertins
But this woman gave him genuine
sympathy and encouragement. Sh'
saved him to his country.
From north, south, east and ives
these pioneer secretaries sent II
their reports. The appalling size o
the undertaking was revealed to tn
War Work Council. Systematizatiol
of the work was the first step. Gu
of the multitudinous phases certail
lines Of work were revealed.

R. d. Allstott this week purchased
500 head of ewes from d. 0. Justus
and moved them to his place on
Rhea creek, where he will care for
them during the winter. Mr..
Allstott runs the Walt Beckett place
on the creek and has sufficient feed
to care for this number of ewes. He
may also decide to branch out in
farming and take over the Gilham

is inclined to the belief that he will
have about all he can care for in
good shape.

tributed so freely throughout the state
two years ago he told the people of
Washington that he was Woodrow
Wilson man." Even the republicans
knew that Wilson was right, and we
all supposed we were sending a man
there to support him, but instead he
failed in this duty in the first real
occasiin to do so.
Such people as Dill, Lafollette and
Rankin have no sympathy among the
| boys here, and occasionally when a
good patriotic Washingtonian boasts
almost certain to be reminded that he
halls from a state that elected a con-
gresham who voted against declaring
war on the "Barbarous Hun" We
would like the people of the Fifth dis
trict to openly resent on election day
the remark made by Dill two years
ago, that IF the United States de
clared war against Germany It would
be the biggest crime that any nation
had ever committed" Is that a state
ment for a patriotic man to make af-
ter Germany's brutal murder of Am
orleans on the high seas, and of the
wholesale rape and murder of the
Belgian populace?
When coming up the Okanogan val

stenographer who claimed to be in

4 FIERCE EXPERIENCE

Writing chatty personal letter to
a member of his family Lieut. Frank
NJ Dallam, Jr., has this to say re-
garding his experience with French
barber:
81 was shaved by French barber
today, the second time since arriving
in France and | didn't take an an
esthetic. either, before undergoing
the operation. Now that requires
courage one can boast Of without
modestv or egotism. In Frencn
barber shop one sits in a stralgh'
back chair before little marble
topped stand, with marble, or metal
basin. The barber, usually boy IL
or II wears of age, lathers ones race
with cold water and soap, engaging III
animated conversation with his reno"
artists tho while dabbing soap in the
victims mouth, nose. ears and eyes
Then he draws out his razor and sets
70 work with long, firm ana careless
strokes. without stropping or hohlhs
the blade. He drags the razor over
ones face in one direction, then re-
coaps and scrapes in the opposite al,
rection. The beard simply mas tc
come off. or come out. No quarter
i, given and nothing excites MS pity
neither the screams of his victims mol
the blood on the field of action Al
fer the scraping is over the oarpe'
6us the basin with water and the ex
hausted patient gets out of the chal'
and washes the soap and gore on M, M
countenance, yields up the towels ah'
nrice and departs, glad at last TO p'
froe and alive. | don't know whether
