"Once more we approach Observ-

established by the Pilgrim fathers IN
their greatitude for the blessing be-
slowed on them after their long strug-
gle against the oppressor. The Pill
grim fathers had far less cause for
which to rejoice than do we in this
year of grace.
Twelve months ago the world was
torn and bleeding in a canflict the
like of which had not been known in
all it's history. Our own nation had
joined, with all it's great strength and
resources in the struggle to save hu-
manity from the tyrant. Our strong
young men were sailing across the sea
to give their all, if need be, that lib.
erty might live. We were determined
but we were apprehensive, and the
outlook was dark and disheartening
To-day peace is again being estab
lished in the universe. The awfu
struggle and carnage is at an enc

We are, it is true, faced with the grea
problems of rehabilitation and re
construction, and they will demand
our best thought and our calmest judg

all railroad men, in the growing OF
vegetables on a large scale at Ellis
forde, has demonstrated this year
what energy and intensive application
can accomplish on the valley lands
under the irrigation system. MIR. Ram
sey Is locomotive engineer OF many
years experience. He has always had
penchant for gardening and has
made the growing Of fruits and vege-
tables a careful study. He had an
idea that could he carry his theories
into praceice-and the chief theory
was to give close personal attention
to cultivation and care--he could
make fl nancial success OF vegetable
and small fruit growing. He picked
upon this valley to carry out his idea.
Before carrying his plans into execu-
ton some were inclined to size Mr..
Ramsey up as nutty on the SUBJECT,
and much of a dreamer, but the result
of his efforts duruing the past year
has been such that II is regrettable
that more are not affli:'.l with the
same nuttinass, and also giver up to
similar dreaming. No one who has
ever contributed Of HIS time to coax

is no secret about the methods that
Mr.. Ramsey employs. II IS simply
payings direct attention to business
and never sparing muscle or encrt.
So we'll pleased is the triumvirate with
the result of the seasons investment
that they will put in a much larger
acreage next year under Mr.. Ram

SCHOOL TO OPEN MONDAY

Word was received from II. NJ.
Fryer, county health officer. that the
schools of the county could open
again on Monday, November IS, but
upon consulting DR.. D. II. Lewis,
local health officer. by the school
trustees and superintendent. it was
ascertained that new cases of influ-
enza had developed and he felt that
il would be safer to postpone the
opening of school for another week.
The Gazette is authorized to announce
that the Oroville schools will resume
next Monday, November %. The
schools here have been closed for five
weeks. very serious Interrupt

and some plan will have to be
devised for making up the lost time
It has been suggested that school be

order to make up as far as practicable

sion of school. There is no doubt
that the patrons of the school district
will accept any plan that may be de-
cided upon in order to carry out this
object.

PREVENT GOITRE AND HAIRLESS
PIGS

DR.. J. w. Kalkus, veterinarian in
charge of investigations at the Win
throp station, desires to carry out
field experiments in cooperation with
live stock owners who have been
troubled with goitre or harilessness
in their herds. Dr. Kalkus states
that through their experimental work
they have found that iodine given to
females during their CESSATION periods
-nravants this trouble. and
in order to get further information
on this method of treatment, it is
thought advisable to carry out expert
ments through the help of stock
owners.
The iodine in proper form is being
furnished free to individuals who will
agree to keep accurate records of each
animal treated Those stockmen of
the county who have experienced
losses of animals afflicted with goitre
or hairlessness, should make applica-
tion for this iodine treatment for their
stock. Application should be made
to the College of Veterinary Science,

Wash.

CHRISTMAS PACKAGES

Some time ago the war department
provided regulation size package in
which to send Christmas presents 20
soldiers abroad That package was
exceedingly limited in size, but it is
readily understood that the size OF
such packages had to be curtailed
owing to the great number OF troops
abroad. If each and every relatlVe
were allowed to send Christmas cheer
to the boys over sees regardless Oh the
size of the packages there would hard
" be ships sufficient to carry this
vast mail. Hence the war department
took the matter in hand, establlshed
the number of square inches mat

that particular curtailed size, as the

CHANGE OF TIME

A slight change took place in the
time of the passenger train service
at this station Monday. Under the
new schedule the Spokane train, over
the Marcus division, now leaves here
at 6 o'clock in the morning instead
Of $3.50, the time of departure so long
in vogue. The passenger train from
Wenatchee now arrives at $40, in
stead of 1915 as heretofore. There
has been no change in the Princeton
run. Why another half hour has
been added to the run to Spokane, a
run that was long enough to make the
trip wearisome prior to the change
deponeth sayeth not. The increased
running time will not contribute any
thing toward the JOY of those who are
compelled to travel over that route
between Oroville and Spokane.

THANKSGIVING DAY
Proclamation by President,

PROCLAMATION by President
BY the president of the United States
of America.
A proclamation
1t has long been our custom to
turn in the autumn of the year in
praise and thanksgiving to Almighty
God for his many buessings and mer-
cies to us as a nation. This year we
have special and moving cause to he
grateful and to rejoice. God has in

and tragedy of war; 1t has come as
great triumph of right.
Promise of New Day.
Complete victory has brought us,
not peace alone, but the confident
promise of new day as we'll in which
justice shall replace force and jealous
intrigue among the nations. Our GAL
liant armies have participated in a
triumph, which is not marred or
strained by another purpose OF selfish
aggression. In righteous cause they
have won immortal glory and have
nobly served their nation in serving
mankind
God has indeed been gracious. We
have cause for such rejoicing as re-
wives and strengthens in us all the
best traditions of our national history.
A new day shines about us, in which
our hearts take new courage and look
forward with new hope to new and
greater duties.
While we render thanks for these
things. let us not forget to seek mercy
and forgiveness for all errors of act
or purpose, and pray that in all that
we do we shall strengthen the ties OF
friendship and mutual respect upon
which we must assist to build the
new structure of peace and good will
among the nations.
Invites People to Render Thanks.
Wherefore, |, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America. do hereby designate Thurs
day. the 2Sth day of November next,
as a day of thanksgiving and prayer,
and invite the people throughout the
land to cease upon that day from their
ordinary occupations and in their sew
eral homes and places of worship IS
render thanks to God the ruler of
nations.

AT HIS OLD GAME

---.z
Red Prince, formerly OF th1s place,
ia now in the marines and is stationed
at Mare Island, California. In old
days Red was a power on the high
school football team, and his dash
and skill aided the Oroville team to
win victory more than once. The
young man is still in the game and
when the chance is presented he gives
good account of himself. Recently
the first and second squads OF the
marines played a game before large
crowd in which the first squad won
by a score of to 3. Ben Price was
member of the losing side, but he
made a record for himself as a crack
player. A published account OF the
game says:
The escond quarter was full OF ex-
citement with the second team start
ing out with a rush. Red Prince who
was the big star Of the game made
! big hits time and time again.
When the team had worked its way
near the goal, and everyone was look
| ing for a touchdown, the unexpected
happened for Half Back Jordan Of the
first team intercepted forward pass
and ran the length Of the field with
the whole team after him. Fullback
Pieroth kicked goal, bringing the
score up one point and seven In all.
Instead of getting discouraged, the
second team came back full Of fight
that lasted throughout the game. In
the fourth quarter Half Back Prince
of the second team, again was the
, main factor in bringing the ball with
in striking distance Of the goal. With
time nearly up, and the ball on the
80 yard line, Red Prince showed the
enthusiastic crowd that he also had
toe that was of worthy mention by
executing a very difficult drop-kick
from the 30 yard line, bringing the
score up three points when the flnaj
whistle blew, thus ending the gam
with the score Z to 3 in favor OF the
first team.
