FOR GOD AND COUNTRY.

Why, no one has any idea of the
number of young men from the north
part OF the county who are serving In
the various branches Of the army and
navy. Oroville Is represented in almost
every branch, and it is almost impos-
sible to get correct idea of the num-
Der of names. When we speak of Oro-
ville's representation in the service
of the country those who formerly liv-
ed here are included in the list, as
many of those boys held positions here
or attended the public school. Elmer
Stansbury, who enlisted in the navy
and is under training at Goat Island,
San Francisco, writes that he has met
in the same service Cecil Gardiner,
who lived here number of years,
Eugene Figgot, who worked around
here for the past four or five years,
and young man named Young, for
merly employed at the salts works.
Besides those named, VIII and Charlie
Cole are training In the naval service,
also Travor Mallory and Frank Ford.
How many others we DO not know. but
would like to have their names.

GOVERNMENT LENDS ASSISTANCE
TO MR.. HOLT.

AS part OF the nation wide move
ment for greater food production and
food conservation, a large appropria-
ton was made by the last U. s. con-
gress for the purpose of sending spec
ial agents into various parts of the
country. A number of these agents
have been appointed to work in the
various counties of Washington, and
one of them, Albert X. Millay, has
come to Okanogan to work with the
local county agent
Mr.. Malay is graduate of the
Washington state college at Pullman
and while there specialized in animal
husbandry and dairying. He has had
practical training and experience in
general farming, and has been teach
ing agriculture in high schools for
some time.
While in Okanogan county Mr.. NAL
lay will give his attention to the live
stock interests in particular, and will
probably establish his office in the
southern part of the county, where he
will be able to work the Methow Valley
section to better advantage. At present
he is working in the Agriculturalist's
office at Okanogan, and will most
likely locate some place in the south
ern part of the county sometime in
January, 1918. Mr.. Holt will continue
to work from Okanogan in the north
ern part of the county.
In the state of Connecticut, which
is about the size of Okanogan county.
there are at least twenty-one people
in the States Relation service, such as
the county agricultural agents work.
while We have only two who can de-
vote all their time to the work in this
county. Thus, it is very clear that
there is abundant need here, and that
our two men will have more than thew
can possibly do to cover the county
as it should be done.
