some hitch occurred in the trade and
they again took up their residence IN

The renewal Of the long expected
drive on the French front this week
got on the nerves Of the public and
there was constant inquiry for news.
1t Is repetition Of the. hell that &C.
companied the first German offensive
in March. thousands of lives being
sacrificed in Kaiser Bills effort to
rule the world. What the final out
come Is to be remains for time to de.
velop, but II any one is obsessed by
the idea that the Germans have lost
their punch they are doomed to
great disappointment. All talk OF the
German nation weakening under the
stress is mere bunk, and it will re-
quire every resource Of the allied ma
tons to win the war. The sooner our
people come to realize this fact and
apply every resource to the one OBJ
ject the better it will be.
So far as the returns have come
in it would appear that Omak is about
the only place in the county that will
hold Fourth Of July celebration on
an elaborate scale this year. In say
ing elaborate it is not the intention
to convey the impression that the good |
people of Omak are going to any ex-
travagant expenditure in these days |
when economy is the bounded duty |
of the individual and community, but |
a rational program has been arranged |
which will provide entertainment for |
all who may attend. 1t is mete and
proper that the spirit of national
patriotism should be kept alive, and
especially upon day that means so
much to a all wool, yard wide Ameri-
can, and for that reason all who can
do so should take part in the cele-
bration of independence Day. A
mighty good way to observe the
Fourth of July this year is to drive
down to Omak and join with our
neighbors and take part in the cele-
bration billed for that place.
