BILLS OLD FRIEND

Whatever may be the future des-
tiny Of Kaiser William he will always
carry a warm place in his heart for
the American congressman who stood
by him when he was sorely in need o,
friend. They voted to keep America
out of war, and had they prevailed the
Prince of Darkness in the person of
the kaiser, with his armed hosts
would today be raping American
women. mutilating American children
and drenching this land in blood
Americas entry into the war spelled
the kaiser's doom, and it was only
through the steadfast patriotism of the
great majority of those in congress
that kaiserism is to be erased from
the earth. The attitude of those mer
who stood for Germany as against
America in the hour of trial will haunt
them through life and be blot upon
their memory forever. They are un'
worthy the respect of peoples of the
civilized world They should bt
treated with contempt by every mar
who has any love for his country a
heart. A number of them have tried
to be reelected to congress, but have
faced an outraged constituency ant
gone down to defeat. And that should
be the fate of every jack one of then
who attempts to stand for Office in the
future.

AN OLD FRIEND

Hon. John c. Lawrence, of Spokane
stopped over in Oroville last Friday
evening on business trip through
the country. 1t was a great pleasure
to meet Mr.. Lawrence, for the fellow
ship of four years association with
him in the land Office at Waterville
cemented friendship that time has
never for a moment stalled. Mr.
Lawrence is a man of parts and &C
ton, and in intelligence is the peer
Of any public man in the state. Mr.
Lawrence played in hard luck this
year. He plunged In wheat. Not In
speculation, but in the undertaking
of producing. Securing several thou
sand acres in Adams county, equip
ping the land with the most modern
working machinery he started in to
grow wheat on large scale. Up to
last June the grain was a picture OF
profitable promise. There was a clean
100000 in sight for those tillers of
the soil, for Mr.. Lawrence had asso-
ciates in the venture Then came the
drouth accompanied by burning sun
and hot winds. The velvet green
changed to a sickly yellow and all
the work and investment was lost,
for what grain was cut did not pay
for the cutting and threshing. That
experience would have discouraged
the average man, but Lawrence is an
optimistic bird, with a tenacity that
nd
as quit filters the lexicon. He put UP
a bold front, secured the necessary
backing, is putting in 1900 acres of
fall wheat, and as a Providence-pro-
vided rain has soaked his land he
stands to win back all his losses next
year with. a healthy margin to the
good.
All his life Mr.. Lawrence has been
associated directly or indirectly with
the farmers. and today holds a respon-
sible position in the state Grange
His visit to the county at this time
Grange activities. 1t goes without the
saying that MIR. Lawrence is devot-
eddy loyal and IL anything could in
crease our respect and fondness for
the man 1t was the fact that he was
wearing a Webster button, showing
that he is standing firmly by the boys
abroad and the president at home
But then those who know him best
know that nothing less could be ex-
pected of Johnnie Lawrence than to
see him standing by God and his ma
tive country.

A CLOSE CALL

Young John Gormley, who joined
the navy some weeks ago and was in
training at the camp near the Wash
ington University, came in last Thurs
day evening from Seattle accompanied
by his parents, who were called to
the coast by the news of the serious
illness of their son. Young Gormley
had his inning with old influenza, ac-
companied with a severe dose of
pneumonia, and shows the effect of
that facilitating combination. He was
in the hospital for 81 days, and there
was a time when it was thought he
would go out of that institution only
feet first. He tells rather harrow
ing story of the ravages of the flu

1T Is IN THE SOIL

People owning tracts OF land under
the West Okanogan Valley Irrigation
district have little idea what that
land will produce until they make a
thorough effort Anything that grows
out of the ground indigenous to the
temperate zone can be raised in the
valley in abundance. Take for in
stance the humble potato and larger
yields and better quality of the tuber
cannot be produced anywhere in this
broad land. Some of the reported
yields are marvellous, and we mention
the instances that have been called
to our attention with a good deal OF
trepidation, fearing that the Gazette
may be charged with pipe dreams. The
potato crops in the valley, just the
same, are astounding this year. w. f
Weaver, living on the fiat east OF
town, had in half an acre and he has
dug and sacked six and half tons
from that small slice of real estate
Besides the final crop of six and a
half tons he has drawn his household
supply of potatoes from the same
small tract and also supplied one OF
the mines with some fifteen sacks
The potatoes are Of great size. Out
Of the entire six and half tons there
has not been over a bushel of small
potatoes, and in most countries those
small potatoes would size up favorably
with the ordinary yield. 1t is the
combination of soil and water that
makes such yields possible. Every
acre of country that will raise that
kind of crops should be under cult.
walton. and will be within very few
years

UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN

At the request of President Wilson
all the funds to be used during the
coming year for war relief work by
the various recognized associations
carrying on such work will be raised
by one consolidated effort. Each of
the societies made out a budget for
the amounts it expected to use in war
relief work and asked permission from
the National Council OF Defense to
make a public appeal for such funds
After going over the budgets care
fully permission was granted by the
council for the raising of such funds
The societies participating in the
drive are y. NJ. c. A., Y. w. c. A, X.
of c.. Jewish Welfare Society, War
Council of Community Service, Ameri-
can Liberty Association. and Salvation
Army
The total of the budgets amounted
TO Sll0,5OO.00O, and the above socie-
ties are uniting their forces in the
raising of the funds, and each society
TO participate in the total raised on
an agreed percentage basis.
Okanogan county's quota is $14,322.
The County Council of Defense has
made a unit of school districts No.

The Drive commences Nov. 18th, and
continues for one week only.
