The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1918-06-14

Wednesday morning We had the
pleasure of meeting for the first time
in many years Fritz Duffield, of the
Brewster neighborhood. Mr.. Duffield
is real pioneer of the county, having
lived on his place for 81 years. Twen-
ty-seven or twenty-eight years ago
Mr.. Duffield filed on his homestead
before the writer at the Waterville
land office. Mr.. Duffield went into
the orchard pastime some years ago
when orchard planting was fad, ana
as a result is not so we'll off as he
would have been had he stuck to
straight farming. Although the trees
have been in bearing for some time
he proposes to yank them out and go
to raising alfalfa. Alfalfa, cows and
dairying is the line that is going to
pay nthis valley in the future, and
the sooner land owners realize that
fact the sooner will they begin to lay
|l'p treasures on earth.

BUMPLESS ROADS OF THE
FUTURE

Those of us who ride in automobiles
and that means nearly everyone, are
interested in good roads, particular
ly those that are smooth.
Extensive tests recently completed
in the laboratories of the Standard
Oil Company have opened the prob
ability of bright future of bumpless
roads.
In the past oiled roads have had
decided tendency to break down in
places and become very uneven after
a short time. The trouble was that
earlier road oils contained only a per-
centage of asphaltum. The tests of
the Standard Oil Company have prov
ed that asphaltum offers many times
greater resistance to the forces of
traffic and the elements than road oil
containing only a percentage of as
phaltum. Engineers are recognizing
this fact and are using Calol Asphalt
tum (E grade) in their operations.
The result is that the bumpless road,
instead of being total stranger to
the motorist, is becoming a we'll
known friend.

 reach down and pick up package off
 the floor. Any little exertion would
 simply exhaust me completely. l was
 so weak and rundown from suffering. II had sharp pains through my back
 that made it tortue for me to stoop
 over and I had been dragging along
 until I made up my mind that trip to Hot Springs was the only thing that
 would do me any good.
 "Rut instead of doing thatI decided to give Tanlac a trial first, and the way it has helped me is remarkable. Right from the start l began i'm : proving and I have been getting bet ter ever since I am eating more and enjoying it. my troubles are leaving

ANOTHER EVIDENCE |. OF AMERICAN LOVE
 FOR NOBLE FRENCH
Senator Kenyon Proposes to Cancel All Debts of France to United
 States
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, May 11.-(Special) Prior to the European war it was said that France was first in the hearts of Frenchmen, and second in the hearts of all other men.
 It is proverbial, the love which Americans have always entertained for the chivalric European republic. That love is growing in leaps and bounds. For that reason, it is probable that many Americans will agree with Sen- ator Kenyon of Iowa in his belief that the United States should deny France the privilege of reimbursing this gov ernment for money which it has lent France.
 The belief of Senator Kenyon is ex- pressed in the following resolution which he introduced:
 Resolved. etc, That all obligations of the Republic of France to the United States of America for moneys bor- rowed or funds advanced since the commencement of the present war, in cluding interest thereon, be, and are hereby, cancelled"
 This resolution was referred to the proper committee. But for the fact that other nations with which the

EFFICIENT CHAPTER WORK

The Birmingham chapter is com nosed of 46 units, as we'll as a nun, Der of companies and more than 100 auxil- iaries, and all day long groups Of women in Red Cross costumes are seen busy at local headquarters on the bal cony of Loveman. Joseph & Loeb.
 Mrs John London, chairman of this chapter, stated yesterday that the most important work of the women at pres ent was making surgical dressings and hospital supplies. While there is to be no delay in knitting, several urgent calls have been received for surgical dressings and industrious women spend all of their spare time or part of 1t, at Red Cross headquarters at this work.
 Any woman who has an hour or two to spare will be welcomed and uni forms are always on hand. so the spare time may be used in the great cause for humanity in this manner, whether they are members of the Red Cross or not.
 So interested in this work are many of the women that they work on surgi- cal dressings and hospital supplies all day and when at home they knit.
 The surgical dressing department at Loveman, oJseph & Loeb's Is most modern and up-to date being glassed in and everything here is sterilized. No one other than those wearing uni forms will be admitted to this room. but the sight is a most inspiring one to people passing through the store. Each day chairman of one of the units is in charge and is assisted by the members and their friends
 With the daily reports of casualty lists, giving the names of our own American boys. killed and wounded in action, the urgent necessity of making surgical dressings is more forcibly felt and the women are speeding up the work declared Mrs. London.

British Press Comment on Secretary Baker Statement
 on Americans in France

London. May 11.--Secretary Bakers
 statement that more than 500 900 men
 are now in France, is given much
 prominence by the press and cordially commented upon. The Daily Telegraph describes America's effort as d won derful feat, apart from other vast
 work of it's war organization. It re- calls the German sneers at America S efforts and says that when Secretary
 BaKer's announcement leaks out in Germany the public there will realize
 in this as in many other matters. that
 they have ben grossly deceived by their rulers.
 The Daily Mail says that if any thing is needed to add to the heartiness of the greeting awaiting the American troops in London today, it is supplied
 by Secretary Bakers announcement. The dispatch of half million men is really a great achievement. the Mail says,
 and adds:
 America has had immense and un- looked for difficulties to contend with She has not overcome all of them. There is very much to be done before Americas weight is full
 ly felt. but the government and peo- pie of the United States are sparing
 nothing that will enable them to
 do it.'

The work of the American Red Cross has grown to such proportions in it's ef- forts to relieve suffering humanity that The Age Herald will publish a Red Cross bulletin daily. Contributions to this column from workers throughout the district will be welcomed.
 Few realize the enormous work being done by the women who have volun- teered to help produce the Red Cross relief supplies which are flowing stead fly to the battle fields, where they are such a godsend to those of our boys and the boys of our allies who have felt the sting of the enemy's fire and steel. The work of mobiiizing these devoted women has really been eclipsed by the result of their efforts.
 The output of surgical dressings alone, for use abroad, now amounts, according to conservative estimates, to the enor- , nous number of one hundred million year. The probable value of the labor of these women during the year 1918 on projects under way at the beginning of the year, will exceed SS6,0Oo.oo0.
 This labor is given cheerfully. but be- fore it can be performed raw supplies must be bought. Hence the second war fund drive to raise a hundred million dollars. It seems stupendous. But really when it's scope is considered the Red Cross asks for very little.

KEEP HOME FIRES BURNING"

The Red Cross is undertaking to keep the home fires burning" said Emmet w. White, of New Orleans, director of the civilian relief of the Gulf division, on a recent visit to Birmingham, and as a
 patriotic duty as well as a humanitarian opportunity is undertaking to care for the lonely families of our fighting men, through the branch of the civilian re- lief
 ITO the folks at home the Red Cross must mean no less, surely, than the neighborly counsel and aid which will keep them in good spirits, health and
 comfort. The home service of the Red Cross must be the nations assurance that no enlisted mans family shall suf- fer for any essential thing that is within it's power to give
 The above statement will give an idea of the purpose of the home service or civilian relief department of the Red Cross. Dr. Lloyd Nolen, chief surgeon of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Rail- road company, is chairman of the civilian relief department of the local chapter and is admirably suited to this work.
