One of basebalPs most ridiculed
players is now the sensation of the
Yankees. He is Ping Bodie, who has
been kidded ever since he broke into
the big leagues. Ping went to the
White Sox heralded as fence buster.
and when he failed to live up to his
reputation he was joshed SO much that
he had to leave the team.
But Bodie appears to have found
himself. He has been largely instru-
mental in the rejuvenated Yanks win
ming. The club is climbing to the
front, and Bodies big stick is respo1-
sible.

The price of the above materials
purchased at Wenatchee was S135,
without labor. Since the labor cost
of this type of silo is no greater
than the same size silo of other
types and since a farmer who has
seen a silo of this type built can go
ahead and build his own the labor
cost is not taken into considera-
ton.
The saving in feed cost and the
increased return from the rancher's
dairy herd will pay for the cost in
one year. Do not fool yourself, Mr..
Rancher, with the idea that the silo
is some new-fangled thing. Its worth
has been proven for many years in
Europe and in the eastern states.
If you expect to remain in the dairy
business strain a point and put in
silo. Otherwise get out of the
dairy business. You can not COM
pete with the farmer who has a silo.

1t is not to be forgotten that the
persons who are making the real sac
rifces in this war are the men who
are giving up their safe and COM
Portable jobs, and going to the front
to live in a trench, with death as a
constant companion.
The first essential characteristic of
those who are now rendering public
service, and of those who will rem
der such service in the future is true
patriotism. All candidates who pre-
sent themselves for office must pass
that test, and those who already are
in office who can not meet the re-
quirements of office should speedily
be thrown out. Country must come
first from this time on, and not sell
fish interests.

FIFTY TON SiLO CAN BE
BUILT FOR S135

Karl B. Musser, dairy expert in
the U. S. government service, coop
Grating with Mr.. F. M. Colcord, of
the Washington Agricultural Col
lege and assisted by County
Agricultural Agent Nickel, demon
strated at Wenatchee last Tuesday
before some of the dairy owners OF
Chelan county, according to a report
printed in the World, that a fifty
ton silo could be built for $135 by
the farmer doing the work himself.
The demonstration was undertaken
as an educational measure in the
campaign to increase the number of
silos in Chelan county and prove
their benefit and saving.
The type is the "wooden hoop"
silo which is becoming the most pop
ular and efficient of cheap home
made silos. A 11x30 silo was built.
The following is list of the mater
als that went into this particular
silo. However, one advantageous
feature of this silo is the fact that
most any sound inch lumber can be
used for the silo walls thus making
it possible at times to use much
cheaper lumber so long as it is
sound.

OUR SOLDIERS DO OVERTIME

A recent cartoon depicts a soldier
just out of the trenches after three
continuous days and nights of SER
vice. He spots a street-corner ora
tor who is making a big noise.
"What's the big fus, and who's
the guy that's making it?" the sol
der queries of bystander.
"That's a fellow who worked an
hour overtime, and he's kickin' about
it," answers the bystander.
In the second picture of the car
toon, the soldier is landing large
healthy blow on the jaw of the loud
mouthed kicker.
That is just the way the boys feel
toward the workmen or labor leaders
who kick against overtime. The
workmen do not object to overtime
so much, for they have no reason to
do so, because they are well-paid for
that time, but the labor leaders are
making a great howl against the
Overtime hogs" as they call those
fellows who are willing to give
their country little extra service.
Indeed, and why would it not be
fair enough to ask the workingmen
of the country to work nine and ten
hours a day if necessary, especially
when they are getting paid for it :?
The soldiers must give time unlimit-
ed without choice in the matter,
while their lives are constantly in
dancer They are fighting that these
workmen at home may be safe. Why
can not these workmen sacrifice a
little, in order that the boys in the
trenches can have their whole-heart-
ed support in the matter of sup
plies? Is an extra hour or two of
safe, paid for time on par with the
long, wary, nerve-wracked hours the
boys serve, while each second is
filed with the great threat of death

AMERICAN AND GERMAN FL
NANCES COMPARED

Pessimistic Americans who view
with alarm our increasing national
obligations may derive great deal
of comfort from a comparison of the
financial condition of the United
States contrasted with that of Ger
many.
The total resources of the United
States are estimated at about $780,
000, 100000; our annual earnings are
estimated at about $4,000, 100000
Our national debt, including the
third liberty loan, may be put at
$12, 100000.
Before the war our government
was spending about $1,000,000,000
year. When the war is ended, in
terest charges, less the interest col
lected from our loans to our allies,
government insurance expenses, and
other necessary expenditures grow
ing out of the war may conserva-
lively be estimated at something
like 00O,000,O00. We are con-
fronted, therefore, when peace comes
with raising only couple of billion
dollars year revenue, slight task
for a nation of such tremendous
wealth, capacity and resources.
The resources of Germany before
the war were estimated to be $780,
100000. The annual exptsdi-
lures then of the Imperial govern
ment were about $S00,000,000 Her
debt now is $4,000, 100000, and her
resources and man power have been
severely impaired. After the war
she is confronted with additional ex-
penditures growing out of the war
totaling some $4,000,000,
The interest of her war debt, even
if the debt grows no larger, will be
about $1,500,000,000. Although she
is niggardly in her pensions to pri-
vate soldiers and their families, ST.
000,000,000 a year would hardly suf-
flee to pay even small pensions TO
lltl HlJuIcu anu Tile ldliillltS VI HcI
soldiers who have been killed. Her
war debt must be paid some time
and a sinking fund of per cent
would add 81 ,50O,OOO,OO0 to her an
nual taxation. Here is a total in
crease of $4,000, 100000 all due to
the war.
OF course both the United States
and Germany may greatly increase
their debts, but the increases will
not change the relative situations.
The German government has
drained the German people of their
gold even their jewels and heir
looms, and yet the Imperial bank of
Germany now has but little over
$500,000,000 of gold in it's vaults.
The United States has made no
special effort to obtain gold, has
made no call upon the people for the
precious metal, and yet today has in
its treasury vaults practically ST.,
500,000000 of gold coin and bullion.

ELECTRIC SPARKS

The luckiest Austrians are now
prisoners in Italy.
Our first million men in France
are excellent samples of the mil
lions to follow.
The latest indoor sport in Germany
appears to be the compilation of
peace terms.
After reading over the proposed
luxury taxes the average man will
probably be inclined to seek a job
in the army, where $50 a month
clear is assured.
It is safe to predict that the an
nouncement of the signing Of the
contracts for ninety-two American
transports did not bring any trans
ports of joy to the Germans.
A Belfast firm has built an 5000
ton steamer in Is days. At the end

Russia is a great gutter, Once
it quit fighting and now it seems to
be quitting the life of peace.
We agree with DR.. Won Kuehlmann
when he demands Overseas posses
sions corresponding to our great
ness and wealth. Germany will
get just that. When she is back
within her borders her greatness
will be defined and when she has
been stripped of the treasures she
stole her wealth won't be very no
ticeable.
Although Korniloff and Kaledine
have been killed frequently they have
not, perhaps, been killed fatally.
German troops that have encoun-

NEW DRIVE PUTS ENEMY IN VERY
 SERIOUS POSITION
(Continued From Page one)

(Continued From Page One) of pressing on vigorously and giving the enemy no chance to rest or re- adjust himself General March said this was the object of the war department in seeking to raise the age limit of the draft to hurry to France ever-increas- Ing American forces.
 In answer to questions Gen. March said the Forty-Second (Rainbow) Di- vision, after receiving it's combat training in Lorraine, had joined the French east of Rheims on July 15 and helped to break enemy drives at that place. Reading from a rec ord of the divisions movement, he said that in eight days of battle, it had forced passage of Ourcq, met six different enemy divisions and had advanced sixteen kilometres and taken prisoners from each of the opposing enemy divisions.
 The twenty-ninth division still is in Alsace, southeast of Epinal, the Sev- enty-Ninth still is in the American training areas and the Eighty-Firs is now arriving in France, it's infan- try having landed and its artillery being about to land. The Twenty Seventh division under Major Gen eral O'Ryan and composed of New York National Guard, was last re- ported with the British in Flanders. General March made no reference to the number of American troops now overseas, or on the way. Last week he told the correspondents that the number had passed the 100000 mark.

WAR GARDENS { SUFFER IN THE ' HOUSING PLANS
Several Must Be Dug Up in Black Rock, But Owners

Several war gardens will have to be dug up on the site on which the gov ernment houses are to be built in Black Rock. A telegram has been received from Otto M. Eidlitz, chair man of the U. s. Bureau of Housing and Transportation, advising the pay ment of damages to the planters. A committee has been appointed, con- sisting of John Orr, chairman of the War Gardens committee, and David S. Day, to make an appraisal of the damage, and the amount will be paid on approval of MT. Eidlitz.
 All contracts for the sale of three sites are complete with the exception of a small piece in the corner of the site in Black Rock, and D. J. Mur- phy official negotiator, is awaiting word from Washington, after which he will proceed with the com mandeering process.
 The contractors, the Caldwell, Win gate Co.,, report plenty of labor fo1 the work of digging the cellars on the Connecticut and Carroll avenue site They expect to have the cellar wallt in place with in a week.

WELFARE LEAGUE SEE THAT COUPLE
 IS LEGALLY WED
License Had Been Secured But Contract Not
 Completed.

Dorothy Leanord, 19, and Fred Fis- cher, 23, who were arrested yesterday afternoon at their apartment, AS West Liberty street, by Detective Jack Garrity, upon complaint of a neighbor who said they were not married, al- though living as man and wife, were arraigned before the city court today and allowed to go when they ex- pressed their willingness to be mar ried. They were at once escorted to the city hall by Detective Matthew Kane and members of the Welfare League and the marriage ceremony was performed at noon.
 According to the evidence produced in the case the pair had procured a license to wed but had not completed the contract for some reason or an. other. Fischer, who is a Hebrew, and the Leonard girl ,who is g. member of the Roman Catholic church, expressed wish to be married immediately to- day, but the members of the Welfare League and probation officers were ir somewhat of a quandary as to what church they should be taken to. l Finally the matter was settled by the court officials who suggested that civil ceremony should be performed first and afterward if the couple SC desired they could be married either by priest or a rabbi.
 After the marriage at the city hal the couple left the building wreatheC in smiles and from all appearances have started out in a happy married | life.
