VOLUNTEER WORKERS WANTED
TO HELP OTHER VOLUNTEERS
Wood Wanted for Red Cross Rooms
and War Workers League-WOod
and Hauling Donated.

Volunteers wanted to help cut, load
and handle fire wood that has been
donated. The use of a gasoline pow
er saw and two wook trucks with
drivers, has been donated, all that is
required is the help of some willing
men to help saw the wood, load and
unload it, and the women engaged
in Red Cross work and those in the
War Service League work can keep
up their work all winter. Surely the
men can afford to give one day, Sun
day Oct. 9th, to this work when the
women of Leavenworth are giving
their time every day in the week to
some part of their important war
service work.
Such as are willing to help in this
service are requested to be at the
War Workers room, on Ninth street,
next Sunday morning at 7:30. Twelve
or more men needed. Will you be
one of them? If you will, report.
An arrangement is on foot among
the women to provide noon-day
lunch. Here is a chance for real
service. To keep up their work the
women must have wood next winter.
The wood has been donated. The
hauling has been donated. All that is
needed is the work of willing hands.

MORE SHEEP GOING TO CHICAGO

Mrs. Eta Vessey shipped 81 cars of
sheep to the Chicago market the fore
part of this week. Paul Lozier also
shipped seven cars to the same market
this week.
Louis Schneider sold this week LOO
head to Yakima parties who shipped
them to Kittitas county where they
will be grazed this winter and go on
the market next summer.
The sheep men all agree that the
summer which has about come to a
close was one of the most favorable
the f1ockmasters have had for several
years. The lamb crop was satisfac-
tory and the young sheep have made
unusually good growth. Mutton
sheep are heavier than usual. The
wool clip was average, and as one
sheep man remarked: "The Lord was
on the side of the sheep men this
year" It is unnecessary to say that
the price of mutton sheep and stock
sheep are both near the top, and like
ly to remain there indefinitely.

MORE THAN A HUNDRED
LEAvENWORTH BOYS
NOW IN THE ARMY

The names of eighty-odd boys who
have gone from Leavenworth into the
army are now on the honor roll, on a
large surface prepared for this pur-
pose and set up between the postoffice
and the K. & V. B. Hardware store.
The names are surrounded with the
flags of all the allied nations painted
in proper colors. So far only two
names indicate that the bearers have
paid the cause for which all are fight
ing, the highest tribute of which a
man is capable. They died on the
battle field in France. 1t is known
that some twenty-odd additional
names should be on the roll. Any one
knowing of names that have been
omitted should bive them to Swain

1000 MILES PUBLIC HIGHWAY
FOR THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
$50. 900, 900 Bond Issue Based on Auto
mobile Tax-Will Help Give En-
ployment TO Returned Soldiers

The Thurston County Good Roads
Association is pressing its campaign
for the $30,0O0,000 motor revenue
bonding project to pave the 1000 mile
state arterial highway during the six
years following the winning of the
war.
Every agency of public opinion is
being enlisted in the drive to rivet
attention upon the measure which will
be brought before the next legisla-
ture.
Paving of the arterial highways it
is estimated would save from S75 to
500 year to every car operated over
the system, through increased mileage
in gasoline and saving on tires.
Carefully compiled figures from Of
fetal sources show that by raising the
present motor vehicle fees and aver
age of $3.50, enough money would be
available annually to retire the $780,
100000 bond issue in twenty years and
maintain the state automobile depart
ment at the same time.
Under the Thurston County plan
as outlined by its sponsor, DR.. P. Fl.
Carlyon of Olympia, the general tax
levy would not be called upon for one
cent. All the expenses would be
borne by the motor vehicle owner and
he would be in turn reimbursed ten
times over by the savings effected in
the operation of his machine.
BY the states lending its credit,
the money would be available at once.
Instead of having to wait twenty
years for the completion of the sys
tenn and its full benefits, the state
could pave the highways within six
years of the beginning of the work
and at the same time provide employ
ment for the army of returned SOL
diers in the transition period immedi
ately following the signing of the
peace treaties.

Sam Gompers has sent this message
to the workers; America is not per-
fect-but it is the best country on the
face of the earth, and those who do
not love her enough to work for her.
to fight for her, to die for her, are
not worthy the privilege of living nm
der he protection. Gompers can say
fine things sometimes, but he doesn't
always live up to his preachments or
encourage his workers to do so.
When he says "to work for her, he
means at union wages, under union
restrictions, and with the economic
club" of the strike always in the hands

KEEPING COMPLETE RECORD
OF ALL BOND PURCHASERS
The Record will Disclose Not Only
How Much Each One Bought
But How Much Each Should
Have Bought.

Much has been printed of the
work of the Liberty Loan Commit
tees but nothing of the work being
done at headquarters in order to
properly chuck up the results OBJ
tanned.
A complete card index is kept
showing the name and address of
every person in this territory cap
able of buying bonds. This list
shows the amount he purchased of
each of the First, Second and Third
Loans and each day as the names
and amounts are turned in to head
quarters by the banks the amounts
will be entered on this card.
The banks, in selling government
bonds, are acting as the agent of the
United States government.
The bond business is government
business, not bank business, and the
federal reserve bank has instructed
all banks to turn in to Liberty Loan
Committees the names of purchasers
and amount of bond subscriptions.
The executive committee knows
that there are very few persons in
this district who will not buy bonds to
the full amount of their ability. There
are, however, in this locality as well
as other localities, few persons who
will not purchase bonds to the amount
of their financial ability and it is not
fair to those who do their duty to the
government that they should bear the
burden of the slackers as well as their
own.
In many of the cities of this and
other states the committees are no
tifying each individual of their quota
and unless he can show the committee
that his quota is too high, he is ex-
pected to purchase the amount stated
by the committee. The Leavenworth
local committe believes that in the
main our people can be trusted to do
their duty without the amount of
bonds they should purchase being in
dicated to them in advance.
To Scruntinize Subscriptions.
The executive committee has, how
ever, appointed a committee of Is
whose duty is to scrutinize the amount
of the subscription of each individual
or firm and if in the opinion of the
committee the individuals subscrip-
ton is not to an amount such as his
income would justify he will be visit
ed by a special committee whose work
it will be to try and show this indi-
vidual wherein he has failed to do his
duty. If this committee fails to Sc
cure an additional subscription, still
another committee will interview him.
If this committee fails the persons
name is turned in to the county council
of defense. This record will be inter-
esting reading to the boys when they
come back from France as indicating
to them who the individuals were who
did not back them up with their money
when the boys were giving everything.

MRS. T. A. PEAT, OPERATOR,
KILLED IN RAILROAD YARDS
Monday Night On Way Home
Crawled Between Cars-Hit By
Engine-Lived Three Hours.

The shocking and sudden death of
one of Leavenworth' residents on
midnight Monday caused deep sorrow
not only in her own immediate fam
lily, but to every one who knew her.
Mrs. A. E. Peat came to Leavenworth
eleven months ago with her husband
and children. Always ambitious to do
something to help she had been work
ing at the Great Northern yard of
flee as telegraph operator, where her
husband was weigh master.
The sad thing about this bright wo-
mans death is that she and her fam
lily were to have left the next day to
accept a position at Columbia River
as agent operator which would re-
lieve her of working nights which
was the direct cause of her untimely
death. Going home on that fatal
night and being anxious to save time
she went aross the tracks in front of
the office to her home only 200 yards
away. She was informed by train
man that the cars would not move, so
it would be safe as she invaribly went
home by the way of the viaduct,
which meant a walk at midnight of
three-quarters of a mile.
The second shift switch crew We're
however, working on that track, the
last one she had to cross, and not
knowing it she was in the act of
crawling through the cars when they
moved throwing her under the wheels
and cutting off both limbs, one above
and one below the knees. She eX-
pired in the arms of her husband two
hours later at the Leavenworth hos
pital.
She was born in Woolson, Iowa, "A
years ago last April the 7th. Her
parents were Quakers. She was a
birthright member of the Friends
church. She leaves, to mourn her de-
parture, her broken-hearted husband,
son, Stanley, aged 1O15 years, and
Nella, aged 8 years. Her Youngest
brother, Virgil G. Hinshaw, has been
National Chairman of the Prohibition
party for several years; another bro
ther, Miles c. Hindshaw, is a prosper
Gus orhardist and farmer at Green
leaf, Idaho.
Her mother and stepfather reside
at Carnelius, Ore. where interment
will take place on Saturday, October
9th.
Her husband wishes to thank all
the people of Leavenworth for their
great kindness and help in this his
hour of need, also those great hearted
fellow workers of the G. N. Railway
who sent such a wreath of beautiful
flowers.
To know her was to esteem har.
Loving her Lord and serving Him
by thinking of others, and blessing
the lives of all she met.
She has gone TO her reward, where
she awaits the coming of her loved
ones.
Funeral services were held in Mrs.
Towns Undertaking parlors, Wednss-
day evening, her pastor, Rev. Morton
officiating.
