REV. S. J. BAKER RECEIVES
FLATTERING OFFER

The Rev. S. J. Baker of this city
has received flatterng offer from
the president of the Congratulations
Business College in Macon 1t ap-
pears that seven years ago Mr.. Ba-
ker was on the staff of the college
and had charge of the typewriting and
Business English departments. Since
1911 the college has advanced by
leaps and bounds. About month
ago papers were signed by which Eu-
gene Anderson, the president of the
college, engaged to give course in
either stenography or bookkeeping,
or both, to any soldier who is dis
abled in Uncle Sans service. While
taking the course to fit himself for
further government employ, the SOL
der is to receive the same rate of pay
as he drew during the last month of
his more active service. This contract,
OF course, means the still further en-
largement of the Georgia-Alabama
College, and Mr.. Anderson is already
in the market for typewriters~ and
general equipment to meet the needs
of daily enrolment of at least 500
students. The staff of five teachers
is also to be augmented and Mr.. An
derson has asked Mr. Baker to return
to his old position at considerable
increase in salary. Mr. Baker was in
Macon two weeks ago; since then ne
gotiations have been proceeding, and
it is more than likely that Mr.. Ba-
ker will align himself with his friend
of the years gone by.
After leaving the College in 1912
Mr.. Baker took charge of the First
Baptist church of St. Augustine, Fla,
and also accepted the position of
Principal of the Comemrcial Depart
ment of the High School there. At
ter four years he became pastor of the
First Baptist church at Huntsville,
Ala, whence in September, 1917, he
came to be pastor OF the First Bap-
fist church of Fitzgerald. Mr.. Ba,
ker's many friends in this section con-
graduate him on this offer and wish
him every success in his new-old
sphere. The young people who come
under him as instructor are to be con,
graduated.

is YOUR JOB LADY-LIKE?"

Young men with lady-like jobs
better watch out or Mrs. Richards
will get 'em, for she means that every
bit of man-power that can be relieved
by women for war-work shall be made
available, and she is rather determin-
ed sort of person. She is the head
of the new women's division of the
National Department of Labor in
Washington, and she says she would
like to see every man put into a mans
job instead of wasting his time at
some work that could be as well done
by woman. She believes that ship
building, or other essential war-work,
is better suited to man than stand
ing behind the ribbon-counter or mix
ing ice-cream sundaes.
1--WE need men on the farms, in the
shipyards and in the munition-
plants" she says in an interview in
the Philadelphia Public Ledger, "and,
more important than all, in the Army
and Navy, the flying-corps, and the
merchant marine. Let's put all the
men to work in the big essential jobs
for which they are fitted by their
strength, and let the women of the
nation keep the wheels of industry
going in those fields of activity for
which they certainly are qualified in
every way."-Literary Digest

RED CROSS HELD INSTITUTE
MEETING IN SEATTLE
THIS WEEK.

The institute meeting which con-
vened at the Washington University
last Monday morning was attended
by Mrs. Chas. G. Smyth. This was
a meeting of the northwestern divi-
sion of the American Red Cross and
was attended by delegates from
Alasks, Idaho, Washington and Ore
gon.
May to II the Northwest division
of the American Red Cross held
an institute at the University of
Washington and delegates are expect
ed from Alaska, Idaho, Washington
and Oregon. Important questions in
volving the future work of the Red
Cross in the Northwest will be taken
up and disposed of. The meeting
will be one of the most important
ever held by the Red Cross in the
Northwest, and it is generally recog-
nized that while the organization has
been doing wonderful work to date, it
has much more important work to
perform in the future. The list of
Americans injured in Europe is in
creasing almost daily and that means
greater demands on the Red Cross
not only of the Northwest but
throughout the world.

Maximize Loyalty.
A contemporary very truly remarks
that the one great hindrance to the
prosecution of the war this spring
and summer with a vigor that would
bring victorious peace before winter,
is lack of ships. In the present
speeding up of ship construction, if
we experience the speeding we ex-
pect, we shall probably forgive and
forget the almost criminal delays of
the past. But in the forgetting of
some things that are past, let us not
overlook other serious flaws in our
war organization. We shall very
likely be in as great need Of areo-
planes as of ships, and in as great
need of food as of either. What
we want and must have is a speeding
up all along the line and the man
who binders, whether by acts of omis-
sion or commission must be taught a
lesson in true loyalty:

ONLY WHEAT SEPARATOR IN
THE WENATCHEE VALLEY

Because it has not been possible
heretofore to save the grain many
farmers have failed to sow wheat. 1t
is not however, too late to still sow
spring wheat, at least in the region
about Lake Wenatchee, and White
river valley, and now that they are
assured that there will be separator
here next fall to thrash all the wheat
in the Wenatchee valley doubtless The
wheat acreage will be considerable.
The more so since the country will
need every bushel that can be pro-
duced to supply our allies, who large
ly depend on the United States for
bred stuff. Mr.. o. B. Robertson,
has arranged to have a thresher here
in ample time to take care of all the
grain raised in the Wenatchee valley.

association will distribute free $4,000
eggs to persons that will agree to
raise chicks until three months old
before selling.
Big ship timbers produced in Wash
ington and Oregon will remain for
home use in the future, thereby bene-
fitting the shipbuilders who will be
assured of an ample supply of timbers
Toluol, a coal tar product and a
high explosive is to be produced in
the Seattle Light & Gas Company's
plant, and will also be made in Spo-
kane and Tacoma.
Prizes For Patriotism
Prizes are to be given the best
riveters in the shipyards and also to
the best gangs of drivers, in order
that the work of shipbuilding may
be accelerated. Appeals to the pa
triotism of some of the riveters have
been in vain and they still loaf on
the job, as other tactics are to be
adopted according to the policy of
Charles NJ. Schwab, the new director
of shipbuilding. Mr.. Schwab expects
to see that the best shipyard work
ers become widely known for their
ability and their patriotism, and will
be given honors comparable to those
given soldiers at the front
This is a good policy. Publicity
may accomplish much by separting
the loyal workers from the disloyal,
and by melting the slackers to put
forth some real effort.
Though the consumer is paying
more now than ever for farm pro-
ducts, the farmer is not getting the
benefit of this extra advance. The
farmers hired help and the tools and
supplies necessary for the production
of his crops have all advanced more
in proportion. Farming at present
is not any more profitable than in
previous years, and in many communi-
ties the profit is less.

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED

Since the day of the cavcman, who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po-
tatoes as they come from the ground,
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri-
can Tobacco Co.-that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED
This wonderful new idea-simple
like all great inventions-was first
used in producing the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarette-made of toasted
Burnley tobacco.
Burley has a mellow favor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. 1t is pipe to-
baeco and LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes
taste ike a pipe.

ARRESTED FOR FAILURE TO

One day last week a man who gave
the name of Earl Wright was arrest
ed on the charge that he was a slack
er. He claimed, we are told, that
he was not of age, but those W
have seen him say his appearance be-
lies his statement. After remaining
in the local bastile two days he was
last Friday taken to Wenatchee. A
woman who claims to be his wife was
with him here and followed him TO

found possible to detain him on the
Stacker charge he may be charged
with another offense against the
peace and dignity of the law"

der that the owners of vast for tunes may be prevented from converting all their wealth into Liberty Bonds. and thus avoid bearing their portion of just tax ation, the surtax has been intro duced to effect incomes oyer a certain amount
 The small investor in Liberty bonds, however, can rest safe and assured that he is going to get every penny of interest due him, and the full principal when the bonds fall due. Incidentally bondholders will help the cause of their Government and strike at the Kaiser when they report to the authorities the name of anyone making untrue state ments relative to taxation or any thing else tending to shake con. fdence in United.

With the British pincers slowly but surely closing down on St. Quentin, the French and Americans in possession of the western end of the Chemin-des-D Danes and steadily pushing toward Laon and the Yankees firmly established on their new lines in Lorraine, shelling Metz and threat ening the great iron and coal fields of the Briey basin the German high com mand last week was still clinging to the Hindenburg line through most of its length. The Huns had massed vast numbers of long range guns and were resisting desperately, but their increas- ine dearth of man power was becom- ing more evident daily, and the pris- oners taken, though we'll fed and clothed, were Respondent and tired.
 After several days of preparatory operations Field Marshal Haig on We'd nesday attacked on a 16-mile front Zeaucourt south of Holnon Wood. Be fore nightfall the British had smashed ahead to depth of three miles, taking Peiziere, La yerguiere. Epehy. Rons- soy. Nilleret and other towns and bag ging more than 5000 prisoners. The primary object of the drive, which was made in hard rainstorm, was to gain possession of the old British trench system of last March. running along an important ridge. Many of the best fighting units in the German army were opposed to Haig's men, but the latter at tained their object in the main and at some points went further than had been expected. The artillery work of the Germans, especially with high ve- locity guns massed behind the St Quentin canal, was more severe than for a 1aner +fn1a hafora

Bond Buyers Needn't Fear Tax Buga-

A favorite argument of the persons endeayoring to separate holders from their Liberty Bonds especially the smaller owners, is the tax bugaboo.
 Instances have been brought to the attention Of the Central Liberty Loan Organization. where unscrupuloos individuals have told the uninitiated that their bonds would be eaten up by taxes or would yield so small return that the best thing to do would be to sell them for what they would bring.
 Nothing could be more false and malicious than such repre- sentations. Owners Of Liberty Bonds. up to s5.00o. have not a nickel of taxes 10 pay. either on the principal or interest. They can banish forever the thought of the tax collector so far as Lib erty Bonds are concerned, and rest assured that 10 Government agency will ever forcibly take their bonds Or any part of them away.
 The only tax affecting Liberty Bonds Is the surtax on incomes, and that is so small on amounts even up to $50, 900 that it is hard ly worth consideration. ID or

All along the west front the air fighting was most intense In one day the British brought down 66 enemy planes and lost 16, which indicates the fierceness of the struggle for the mas tery of the air. The independent Brit ish air squadrons kept up their fine work in the bombing of German cities, notably Mannheim, -Sablons, Treves and Frankfort. This brings howls from the Huns which are music to the allied ear.

BULGARIANS ARE IN FLIGHT

 jected.
By EDWARD w. PACKARD.

With regenerated and reorganiZed army, Serbia took the lead last week in smashing the Hun and his allies Aided by French and Greek contin- gents. the hard-fighting Serbians struck at the Saloniki front held by the Bull garians and certain German units. They struck hard. too. and within three days had advanced 12 miles on q 207 mile front, taking 50 towns, including the strongest of the enemy positions At first the resistance was stubborn. but by Thursday the Bulgarians were reported in full retreat and the Ser bians pursuing them day and night. The enemy threw in fresh divisions. but in vain, for they too were com pletely defeated. So swift were the flight and the pursuit that the Serbians had not had time to count the great number of prisoners taken or to esti- rnate the quantities of material that fell into their hands
 This Serbian advance by the end of the week was seriously menacing the city of Prilip, one of the chief bases of the central powers in Macedonia. It is not beyond the bounds of possibil- ity that 1t may later be connected up with the operations of the allies in AL bahia, Of which little has been heard lately. A good many authorities long have held the opinion that the war can be brought to a successful end soonest by a great offensive in the Balkan re- zion, cutting off Turkey and Bulgaria f,om their allies and threatening Aus tria from the south
