SERVANT LACK AIDS HOTELS
Scarcity of Help In Homes Sending
Families to New York
Hostelries.

New York.-Although the fuel prob
lem which developed in New York
homes last year Is to great extent re-
sponsible for the unprecedented bush
ness of the apartment hotels this fall,
there have been new developments
which increase the influx of apartment
hotel jewellers throughout the city. The
greatest individual reason Is the serv-
ant problem.
Persons who have had servant STATS
for years without a change have been
known to lose as many as three in a
single week lately because Of unprece-
dented demand for experienced help
and the prices offered for it.
The apartment hotel habit is easily
formed, and with the scarcity of fuel.
scarcity of help, scarcity of suitable
apartments and scarcity of vans to ac-
complish large movings the fact that
there is hardly an apartment hotel va
cancy left in New York is not especial
ly remarkable.

All the inhabitants capable of work

SIGNAL men HUSTLE.
They Have to Work Rapidly as
Fight RACES.
Wire Connection Is Prime Necessity
No Matter How Fast Shells
May Fly.

With the American Army In France.
The signal corps men had to do some
fast work during the recent fighting
to keep up with the infantry and to
keep communications always open be-
tween headquarters and the villages
newly captured where the doughboys
were.
The signal corps was the connecting
link between the infantry, artillery,
ambulance service and headquarters.
The signal corps did wonderful and
lightning work. Every other depart
ment says so.
It's no cinch being the signal corps
after a division that is continually
gaining ground.
GAS soon as the infantry makes a
push you have to get a telephone line
strung into the farthest ruins or woods
or wheat field, no matter how many
German shells are scattering madly
over the area.
Then, about the time you get a wire
stretched along the ground and In
working order, call up headquarters to
tell them, "This is the new post at
Squeedunk give us ring to see how
she works" along comes another Boche
she'll and cuts the communication.
There's nothing to do but go out and
find the cut and fix 1t, and probably
more Boche shells are trying to make
more cuts in communication, or even
cut you off. '5r.-@ 1.
The signal corps had wires every
where, i'm bushes, along the ground, on
poles left by the Boches, underground,
through ruins. Headquarters say they
never had such quick service, and they
were never out of communication with
regiments longer than the, few minutes
1t took signal corps man to inspect
the wires and repair break.
A signal corps man was stringing
some wires across wheat field. "Some
war this" he said. 81 haven't had a
sleep for more than two days. sup

weren't for these shells that come

son, cashier of the Security State
bank at Richland, seems to be the only
official in this part of the valley who
is authorized to grant permits for the
use of dynamite.
The~young ladies of Richland were
the prime movers in the peace celebra-
tion which was staged Monday night
on the vacant tract across from the H.
p. Miller ranch. Mr.. Miller had been
piling trees and brush on this land for
many months past, little realizing that
his efforts would result in one of the
largest bonfres ever lighted in this
section. Singing of patriotic songs,
speeches by different citizens and a
general melee of cow bells, auto horns,
tin pans, etc., added much to the sue
cess of the occasion and the girls who
pulled off the celebration are to be
congratulated on the large crowd that
attended and helped out in the dem
onstration. $3.50
Mrs. C. d. Mitchell is in receipt of
letter from her son Gene, who is a

team of his ship in the position of
right tackle. They have. played a
number cf games with other navy yes
sells and if they win one more they
will nave the honor of going to the
mat with picked team from the army.
Gene was one of the fastest players
on the Richland high school during his
entire four years course and will un-
doubtedly show up to advantage in
his new position. :
Thad Grosscup and family are en-
joying a short visit from his mother,

James Kaas,. one of the progressive
ranchers in the Fruitvale district, will
leave the latter part of the week for
Oregon where his brother is ranching.
Mr.. Kaas now has his farm north of
town in such shape that he can leave
in the winter for short visits around
the country, as his crops of strawber-
les and hay are all harvested and mar
keted by the first Of December, leaving
him a nice vacation of four months.
A number of the farmers are baling
their hay this week, as there seems
to be little or no demand for it in the
stack.
C. F. Wetherill spent the week end
in Goldendale on business.
Mrs. C. HI. Lille, who received word
from New York last week that her
husband would sail Immediately for

an attack of leakage of the heart and
