The secular press is carry ing story of how a craWfish not over three inches in length, shut down a big iron plant in Wheeling, w. Va, and threw 5000 men for the time being into idleness. TRe erawfish had travelled from the river through the pump plant to the city res ervoir and thence through the water mains until it reached the meter of the LaBelle Iron Works. Lodging in the meter it shut off the supply and stop ped the whole plant. Only little thing but it cost that plant the loss of considerable time and money.

The Kaiser US. Butcher

All Americans Shuddered with shame and contempt, when a heartless Spainard drove 100000 peaceful inhabitants of Cuba from their homes and forced them into reconcentrado camps to suffer, to starVe, and to die.
 But no one ever accused the Madrid government of uch brutality as marks the cruelty inflicted upon the children, or the unmentionable barbarity shown to the women by the heartless Germans in invaded lands.

 America must win the war or civilization is doomed. Un- cle Sam can and he will win, but he must have the loyal sup port of the men who stay at home as we'll as the soldier who goes to France.
 Billions must be raised to supply the guns, the food, the thousand and one things that are necessary to support the army.
 The free citizens of the United States must supply the money with which to feed, clothe and munition an army. The best way to do this is to buy a Liberty Bond-the saf- est investment in the world.

stick of candy. The younger one was

RICHL AND DEPT.
MRS. ]. 7. ROBERTS DIES AT
SISTERS HOME In TACOMA
Was One of Benton County's Pioneers
Had Been Ill for More
than a Year

Mrs. Emma Nordling Roberts, wife
of j. 7. Roberts, one of the first set
tiers of Benton county, died Tuesday,
July 10th, at the home of her sister
in Tacoma following an illness COW
ering period Of over a year.
Mrs. Roberts was one of the best
known women in this part of the val
ley where she cndeared herself to all
by her kindly and charitable DISPOSE
ton. She was one of the most en-
thusiastic workers in the local Rebek-
ali lodge, having passed thru every
chair in the order and having repre-
scented the Richland lodge rs district
deputy in many Of the most important
sessions of the grand lodge held in
the Northwest. ,.
Mr.. Roberts was summoned to Ia
coma several weeks ago by a telegram
announcing his wife's condition as Sc
rious, but she rallied and he returned
to the ranch here. However, the i'm
provement was only slight and her
death followed. All.
The bereaved husband and son, Ed
ward, left for Tacoma Immediately,
the little daughter Clara having been
with her mother at the time of her
passing.
Interment was made in the Tacoma
cemetery, the Richland Rebekah lodge
sending flowers in honor of their be-
loved member. Needless to say, the
entire community is sorrowing with
the relatives who are left behind to
bear this burden.

RICHLAND LADIES MAKE
GOOD WITH THEIR NEEDLES
Red Cross Workers are asked to Slow
Up during the Hot Weather
Finances in Good Shape

The members of the local Red Cross
circle may well feel proud of the work
accomplished during the first year of
its organization. So rapidly have the
ladies completed the sewing that word
was received from headquarters in
Yakima some time ago that there was
no need to finish so many garments
during the hot weather and that the
workers should rest up little.
Miss Marie Dresser, the treasurer,
reports balance of $207.22 after all
bills have been paid. A shipment Of
garments has just been made consist
ing of 40 hospital shirts, 1 dozen pa
jamas, and 9 pairs of operating leg
gins.
The next work will be little diff
ferent from heretofore. The Red Cross
is making up lot of little dresses
and other necessities for the infants
of men in the service and the Richland
ladies will get a chance to try their
hands at turning out baby clothing.
