WAS WITH DIVISION THAT
SAW The HARDEST FIGHTING
Leavenworth Boy Tells of Big Things
Accomplished By His Division-Is
Anxious To Get Home

Theo. Paine is in receipt of the fol-
lowing letter from Howard Blanken-
ship who will be remembered as the
chief "Ford Fixer" at the Cascade Ga
rage up to about year ago when he
offered his services to Uncle Sam and
was attached to the motor division and
shipped to the other side.
Nevwied, Germany, Jan. 20, '19
Dear Friend: 1t seems funny to get
mail so quickly now. have had let
ters on the way for almost four
months. No doubt mail conditions
are getting better in the states.
Well Theo. we are sure getting i'm
patient to get home. believe we will
be on the way by July 1st but can
never tell. l haven't found me a
Dutch "frauline" yet and we are not
allowed to fraternalize with the Ger
man people at all so there is not much
chance of getting acquainted. l
wouldn't take a whole lot for my ex-
periences but wouldn't go thru them
again for some more. Will tell you
few facts about our famous division.
The Second Division has fought five
pitched battles or series of battles at
Chateau Thierry, Scissors, st. Mihiel
salient, Blard Mount, and Argonne-
Meuse. The casualties were over
twenty three thousand men and over
seven hundred officers. They also
captured over twelve thousand pris-
oners, over one fourth of the entire
number captured by the A. E. F. The
same with the cannon, which number
was three hundred and forty three,
over one fourth taken by the A. E. F.
These are facts so when you hear
some guy from Oklahoma or some of
those places piping about their Divis-
ion being the best, throw him out if
he isn't in the Second.
Am sending you some pictures of
myself and one taken of big bomb
hole back in France. They missed
everything and dropped five good
bombs out in a big field. Well must
close. Yours Very Truly,
Sgt. H. NJ. Blankenship

GREAT NORTHERN LUMBER co.
HAS LARGE STOCK OF LUMBER
Much of Which Will Be Converted Into
Boxes the Coming Summer.

The Great Northern Lumber Co.,
next to the Great Northern railroad
the largest employer of labor in
this burg will again convert a large
part of it's output into fruit boxes
and packing cases the coming summer.
Because the demand for such lumber
as this company makes, which con-
sists largely of western white pine,
was not equal to the output, there is
an accumulation of upwards of twelve
million feet of lumber in the yards,
much of which will be used TO make
fruit boxes and packing cases. The
box mill will begin running as early
in the spring as weather conditions
will justify and labor conditions will
permit. Tho just now the indications
point to an ample supply of labor.
The stock of logs is constantly be-
ing added to and by the time it is
practical to start the saw mill it will
also begin operations and run continu-
ously thruout the season, unless some
unforeseen accident should make it
impractical to begin running when the
box mill starts up.

toned to the private pocketbook by
the peoples representatives.
at is such big thing, this collec-
ton of taxes directly from private
funds and business funds, that moth
ing short of our best American CO.
operative effort can make it success
full and hence just. The bureau seeks
this cooperation of the people in col
lecting the revenues. 1t has never
been denied or stinted; anything less
than the great, voluntary outpouring
of shares in the national assessment
is unthinkable.
"And it is such big thing that the
willing taxpayer must have the guar
antee of this bureau that the laggards,
the jugglers and the violaters will not
escape taxation and penalties. The
bureau is fulfilling its part of this
contract with the people-this contract
that means so much in the practical
effective and just administration of the
internal revenue laws"

URGE BETTER INSPECTION
Wenatchee Apple Growers Want In
creased Horticultural Fund

Growers thruout the valley are ur-
ging better spraying and better in
spection and Chelan county commits
sioners will be asked to appropriate
more money for horticultural inspec-
ton. The horticultural district un-
der the supervision of Inspector Dar-
lington covers Chelan, Okanogan and
Grant counties. Each contributes to
the cost of maintaining the office, but
the spread of coddling moth has in
creased to such an extent that more in
spection is needed Chelan county
last year marketed approximately s.
100000 boxes of apples and spent but
$4,000 for inspection, but double this
sum is to be voted this year.
The following figures show what
different apple growing counties in
the state spend yearly for inspection:
Chelan with 10000 acres of apple or
chards, $4,000; Yakima with 10000
acres of apple orchards, $4,000;
Douglas with less than 5000 acres of
commercial apple orchards appropri-
ates $3,500 annually of which only
about one half is used. Okanogan with
about 5000 acres in apples spent S1400
last year, increased from $1,000 on the
petition of large number of the lead
ing growers.

modelling the place and making nu-
merous improvements, but expects to
be open for business Saturday or Sun

where he has resided for the past ten
years. He expects to employ strictly
white help and will conduct an up to

least doubt. The Little Delmonico
lunch room will be closed.

ADVERTISING SPECIALIST ON
HOW TO ADVERTISE WARES
Tells Why Some Stores Always Re-
main Small-Merchants Should
Quote Their Prices

"Some stores have remained small
because their owners have neglected
to advertise" said G. W. Sully of the
National Cash Register company of
Dayton, Ohio, in lecture on adver-
tising, heard by 400 business men and
women in the assembly room of the
Spokane chamber of commerce last
Saturday.
advertising is the only way of tell
ing the people what you have" he
said. You may advertise too little or
too much.
'The words used should be short and
the sentences direct. The public is
not trying to find out how we'll edu-
Gated you are, but what goods you
have. The type used should be SIM
pie and that giving the name of the
firm should always bA the same.
always give prices" say success
full merchants. When prices are alb
sent the public concludes they are too
high to tell and suspects ruse to get
them into the store.
"Just tell plain little story about
your goods as you would talk to a
friend. Write it down and then cut
it down.
Make Your Ads Snappy
"An editor won't run the same item
of news day after day, so why should
you run the same advertisement day
after day? There are lots of little
news items about goods in your store
that would make good advertisements.
"Don't advertise too many below
cost sales, for the public knows you
can't sell that way continuously, and
in so advertising you hurt every other
man who advertises. The sincerely of
the man who sells out six times a
year is sometimes questioned.
Advertising don't pay, have heard
merchants say. Thousands of mer-
chants have proved that advertising
does pay, but it takes time to get re-
suits in some instances. Adherence
to principle is important to the man
who advertises.
Newspapers Get Best Results
"You can reach more people and
with better results thru the newspaper
than by any other means of adver-
Using. Try to have your ad in the
same place that the reader may know
where to look when he would see what
you have to say.
The lecture was illuminated by sew
eral hundred colored illustrations dis
played by stereopticon. In passing
from newspaper to window advertis-
ing and store methods Mr.. Sully said:
"Make your displays stronger. A
few articles closely related are better
than a variety crowded for space.
Manywindows are lighted wrong. Dis
play goods while they are seasonable.
Let the display suggest the uses to
which the articles are to be put.
Bright colors attract the eye and are
valuable if they harmonic.
Don't Advertise Other Fellow
"Don't plaster up the side of your
building with advertisements for some
one else. The space is worth more to
you than you receive for 1t from the
other advertiser.
"1f merchant will act little more
like a human being to his embployes
when off duty he will get more out of
them.
Who is the boss of this shop?'
asked a merchant of party of his
sales people. YOU was chorused. No
not me, but the customer he correct
ed. IF you please him you viii please
me- This was a principle Of John
Wanamaker."

PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS FORM
LEAVENWORTH SERVICE CLUB
Object Is To Aid In the Promotion OF
Anything Pertaining To the Bet
terment of Conditions In City

The Leavenworth Service Club met
Tuesday evening at the High School
building. There was a good attend
ance and much enthusiasm was dis
played. The Constitution and by
laws were read and adopted and the
organization of the club completed.
DR.. A. G. McKeown was elected vice
president of the club, A. H. Sylvester
and E. L. Springer having been elected
President and Secretary-treasurer, re-
spectively at the first organization
meeting a week earlier.
Since one troop of scouts can con-
sist of not more than thirty-two boys
and there are approximately sixty
boys who desire to become Boy Scouts,
it was necessary to elect another Scout
Master and Troop committee for the
second troop which must be organ
lied. ]. H. Holloway was elected
Scout Master and Messrs. o. NJ.
Pobst, Lin R. Hart and Sam DAILY
were chosen as the Troop Committee
for the second Scout Troop.
The following committees We're
elected:
Membership committee: R. B. Field,
Sam DAILY, C. F. Taylor.
Program Committee: J. A. Hearst,
Geo. Hauber, John H. Osborn.
Publicity Committee: VIM. Mcintosh
F. S. Scritsmier, Deed H. Magyar.
Athletic Committee: John H. Os-
born, w. F. Bickel, A. R. Pinch.
Assistant Scout Masters were cho-
sen as follows:
Troop /: John H. Osborn, w. F.
Bickel and VIM. Van Brocklin.
Troop 2: Roswell McNett, L. R. Hart
John S. Brender.
Since the Boy Scout regulations pro-
hibit the acceptance of any boy under
IL years of age and there are a num-
ber of boys in the community who are
undoubtedly very much disappointed
at not being eligible as a regular boy
scout, Rev Morton asked that he be
commissioned to act as Scout Master
of a troop of these younger boys to
be organized and called the Junior Boy
Scout Club. The commission was
granted.
The constitution of the Leavenworth
Service Club provides that the purpose
of the club shall be to aid in the pro-
motion of anything pertaining to the
betterment of conditions in the city of
Leavenworh or the immediate sur
rounding territory, to act as sponsor
for the boy scout movement, and to
provide its members with means for
mental and physical relaxation and de-
velopment. To be eligible for men,
bership one must be a male over 21
years of age and a citizen of the
United States.
The interest shown at the first two
meetings indicates that the club will
be successful in is undertakings and
that it will be of great benefit to the
people of this city and vicinity.
The next meeting will be held Tues
day, March 4, at eight o'clock. The
place will be announced later. All
who desire to join or are interested in
the movement are requested to attend.

the fruitgrowers of the state. He says
from all he can learn the opinion pre-
walls quite generally that an era of
prosperity lies just ahead of all those
who look to the soil for living The
fruitgrowers of the state have just
struck balance on their 1918 crop
and in most cases find a very SUBJ
stantial sum on the credit side.
Mr.. Adams was recently elected
chairman of the Agricultural COM
mittee of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce and in this way comes in
touch with people from every part of
the state and he says that everywhere
he goes the spirit of optimism pre-
walls.
Mr.. Adams recently closed a deal
with the Walla Walla Gardeners Asso-
citation to handle their vegetables and
other produce which amounted to over
700 carloads the past season, consist
ing of onions, potatoes, carrots, cab
bage spinach lettuce, celery, etc,
These goods will be handled thru the
Exchanges selling organization at a
time of year when fruit does not con-
flict with their work. Walla Walla
vegetables have already been shipped
as far east as Chicago and have made
a good record for quality.
Mr.. Adams believes that by mid
summer business in all lines will be
prosperous and will gain in volume as
the season advances.
