INFORMATION FOR THE VOTER
w. F. Whitney, Candidate for Pros
ecuting Attorney, Supplies Use
full Election Information

Because so many changes nave
been made in re-districting the
county, Mr.. Whitney thinks it quite
likely that many voters are likely
to forfeit their right to vote because
they take it for granted that they
are registered, and do not know that
many changes have been made in
certain precincts which will require
re-registration. New precincts
have been created and the lines of
old ones changed, which requires
the opening of new registration
books, in all of which precincts the
voters will have to register in order
to vote at the coming primary cleo
ton.
The new precinct of Old Blewett
has recently been formed. The
boundary lines of Chiwaukum, Cas-
cade Tunnel, Merritt and Winton
have been changed since the last
general election in 1916. This means
that the residents of these four pre-
cincts should re-register if they wish
to vote at the primaries.
A great many believe that a per-
son can register any time before the
primaries, which are held on Sep
TENDER 10th. This is in error-the
registration books must be closed on
the evening of August 30th, 1918.
In other words, to vote at the pri-
mary election held September 10th,
any person who is not now properly
registered, must re-register with
their respective registration officers
some time on or before August 30,
1918. The books will be open all
day Friday, August 30th, for regis
tration purposes.
Voters in the country precincts, as
well as those living in the city of
Leavenworth should remember that
if they did not vote at the last cleo
ton, whether county, city or state,
their names have been stricken from
the registration books of their re-
spective precincts. Also they must
re-register on or before August Both
TO vote in the primaries.
Whether a person did vote or did
not vote at a cshool election will in
no wise affect his right to vote at
the primary election one way or the
other.
For the benefit of voters in the
western part of the county we are
herewith appending list of the
registration officers and again urge
both men and women to make sure
they are properly registered. IF In
doubt call up the registration officer.

New York and Quebec.

. Quebec City is older than New York
It was founded in 1908 by Samuel dc
Champlain, whereas the earliest date
that can be set for the founding OF
New York is 1910. New York Bay ano
the Hudson river were discovered by
Verrazano in 1924, and the discovery
was followed by occasional visits Of
trading and exploring vessels until the
arrival of Henry Hudson in 1909. one
year after Champlain had built his
tort and chateau on the slope leading
up to the heights of Quebec. Begin.
ning with 1910 Dutch merchants dis.
patched several vessels to engage in
the fur trade with the Indians, and ip
1914 ship commander Adrian Block.
having lost his vessel, built the ron.
rust" or Restless on the shores Of
the upper harbor of New York. About
the same time few huts were built
on the south end of Manhattan island
In 1923 the country was erected into
province by the Dutch, and the seat
of government was established on Man.
haitian island, on part of the site of
the present city of New York. Dutch

September 8. 1864. almost one hundred
years before the British acquired New

SAVING STILL NEEDED IF
new FOOD PROGRAM
IS TO Be A SUCCESS

During the coming year. America
must ship to Europe 100000 tons OF
food stuffs."
With this announcement, Herbert
Hoover, federal food administrator.
places on the American people a re-
sponsibility greater than any before.
The $3.50 substitute rulings have
been relaxed, the erstwhile ban upon
bosf products has been lessened-and
ysk Americans must send 100000
tons Of food next year to her allies.
This gigantic program means that
every man. woman and child who II
for Liberty against Tyranny. must
make his eating. and his buying as
sane and saving as possible, and keep
the consumption of vital food stuffs in
America down to the lowest point.
The relaxation of the stricter rules is
not meant to lower the bars so that
boarding or excessive consumption Is
allowable II Is simply to relieve con-
sumers from rules which worked a
certain amount of hardship, but
which were absolutely necessary Dur
ing the wheat crisis OF few months
ago.
The food administration still re-
serves the right to commander any or
all flour consumers may have on hand
should the need arise-as 1t did in
the spring of 1917. It is hoped that
consumers will realize that out of tho
great harvest this year. reserve sup.
ply Of food must be built II future
short crops and decreased labor are to
be discounted and made harmless.
"The food administration will ex.
pect every patriotic American to hold
nour now purchased In trust, 30 to
speak, for :uture use Of the govern.
nent, and to keep that flour in such
. manner that It will not be damaged
or ruined" declared r B. 6tearns,
food administrator for Colorado, In a
recent statement.

ATTENTION. LIBERTY LOAN
WORKERS AND ALL OTHERS
Treasury Department
Washington
Attention. Americans.

Attention, Americans.
1t has been our custom to select
heretofore, the second friday of our
Liberty Loan Drive as Liberty Day.
For the Fourth Liberty Loan we
have adopted the plan suggested by
the United States Bureau of Educa
tion to designate Saturday, Octobsr
18th, the anniversary of the discovery
of our country, as Liberty Day.
The Treasury Department. in co,
operation with the U. s. Bureau cf
Education will request every school
district in the United States to ar
range for the celebration of the dis
covery of America with an approp'l
ate Harvest Home Festival
There is a logical unity between
both of these ideas and the Liberty
Loan. When recounting the fruits Of
their summers labor, people will na..
urally ask themselves what share they
ought to invest in Liberty Bondc
When they realize what the discove
of America has meant to them and
to freedom and democracy, in this
great world tragedy they must feel
that it is worth investing in and
fighting for. 1t is hoped that th;y
Nationwide celebration will create
great enthusiams over Americas mis-
sion in the world.
The Bureau Of Education at the re
quest of this department is preparing
suggestions for a Harvest Home Gee
bration which will be mailed %
schools. This is the earliest form of
American celebration before citi -
were built, but the same idea can lie
put in city life. --p.. r,-i
The idea is big and the opportunity
great Please make every effort pos
sible toward the successful issue n
this national celebration.
-. Sincerely yours.

ENJOY THEIR WAlRUS FEAST
Eskimos Have Solid Repast When One
of These Big Creatures Has
Been Taken.

Among the Smith Sound tribe of
northernmost Greenland the favorite
diet is walrus meat, says Fitzhugh
Green in Popular Mechanics Magazine.
When one of these animals has
been harpooned and, after a struggle,
sometimes lasting many hours, Is fin
ally dispatched, his 2,OOO-pound car
cass is ,towed to the ice edge and
hauled out for butchery.
Shoulders, flippers, and sections of
the trunk are buried under a pile of
stones to guard against the depreda-
tions of thieving foxes. Entrails are
raked out and fed to the famished
wolves which form North Greenland
dog teams,
Follows then the feast. For entree
segment of the outer flipper has
been saved, little stringy as rule,
but of peculiar rancid flavor exceed
ingly tasty to the native palate.
The creatures stomach may con-
tain several gallons of clans. One rip
of knife and the yellow lumpy broth
foams out over the snow to the i'm
mense delight of the hunters. Instant
ly all turn to and swallow great mushy
handfuls of the repulsive, half-digested
mess.
By this time the pot is on and some
thick Jumps of meat and fat from near
the backbone are boiling with frag-
rant (to the Eskimo) odors. Much
meat has already been devoured raw
by those too hungry to wait.
Men are almost full. Sleeping skins
