MANAGEMENT OF THE
RAILROADS

The railroads in 1918 under govern
ment control earned $250,000,OO0 less
than they did in 1917. This is the Of
fetal estimate with most of the re-
ports in. There was an increase of
1892 100000 in 1918 over 1917 in the
receipts from freight, passenger, ex-
press and other transportation. But
there was an increase in operating ex-
penses of $1,119,0O0,OO0 in 1918 over
1917. Many other interesting figures
are given but these figures tell the
whole story of McAdoo's failure. The
increase in wages is over billion
dollars. The increase in receipts far
under billion. Unless the govern
ment were behind the railroads and
the taxpayers were behind the gov
eminent to make good the deficits,
McAdoo's failure would mean actual
MISUNDERSTANDING American.

lEAVENWORTH MUST ADVERTISE If
MORE SETTLERS ARE WANTED HERE
Indications Point to Big Demand
For Farm Lands-Many People
Are Seeking New Homes

That some steps should be taken by
the citizens of keavenworth and resi-
dents of the Upper Wenatchee valley
to bring this section of the country
before the attention of fasteners is
the belief of many of the townspeople
with whom an Echo representative
talked the past week. Hardly week
passes that the Echo does not receive
inquiries from eastern people wanting
to know about the town, it's industries,
the price of land, and other questions
concerning dairying and fruit grow
ing. Many of these letters we answer.
others find their way into the waste
basket. We haven't time to answer
them. But the fact remains that these
inquiries should have attention and
some method should be taken to bring
this section before the eyes of the
people, especially those who are look
ing for land and expect to engage in
some kind of farming.
There is already "Back to the land
movement" under way and every indi-
cation points to greater demand for
small farms than ever before. Thous-
ands of the high wage earners of the
past few years are planning on invest
ing their savings in a small tract of
land, and the unsettled labor condi-
lions will also result in driving others
back to the soil. Nearly every kind
of produce along with stock can be
raised profitably for many years to
come and the average wage Garner
realizing this, and also that this line
of endeavor is free from strikes and
ether attending difficulties, will be
more eager than ever before to settle
down on piece of land.
Other communities are making
plans to attract new settlers and this
section with its diversified farming
and other industries should not be the
last one to awaken to its opportunities.
There is much cheap land to be had
in the upper Wenatchee valley which
could be used for dairying purposes
and make a man independent in a
few years. Hundreds of new residents
could be brought to this section with
in the next year or two, but it will
take concerted action on the part of
those living in his community. Are
we willing to spend few dollars to
reap thousands of dollars in benefits?

HOW SMALL SAVINGS PILE UP

A great French banker was once
asked the secret of French thrift and
he replied, compound Interest"
Just as constant waste, even in little
things, may change ones life from
success to failure, so the steady saw
ing of money will eventually bring in
dependence, if not actual wealth.
Let us analyze the statement made
by the Frenchman.
There are very few people who can
not without any inconvenience what
ever lay aside ten cents day. With
in ten years ones daily savings of this
insignificant amount will amount to
1865, in addition to $80.36 compound
interest, making total of $445.36 to
show for ones saving just ten cents
day for ten years.
By saving Is cents day for ten
years with interest compounded at d
per cent, one will have the comfortable
sum of $668.18; 20 cents a day will
net 5000. Save SO cents day for
ten years and you will have $2,227.73.
A dollar day will give you total of
81 ,455.74 for the ten-year period. All
of these figures are based on the say
ings being put out at per cent, COM
pound interest.
Look back over the last ten years of
your life today. Be honest with your
self. Look facts squarely in the face.
Could you not have saved so cents
day or a quarter day, or possibly 81
day?
1t might have pinched you now and
then to do so; it might have meant
the surrender of few good times, a
few luxuries or eXtravagances. But it
would have meant a substantial sum
for you-something that would add
UNNECESSARILY to your poise, peace of
mind and self-confidence.-S. w.
Straus, in the Thrift Magazine.

STANLEY MEREDITH BACK FROM
OVERSEAS

Mr.. Meredith arrived from Vancou-
yer B. c. last Wednesday morning,
where he was recently mustered out of
the Canadian service. He left here in
January 1917 and joined the canadian
army. He was severely wounded by
shrapnel and now carries silver of
German shrapnel in his back. He re-
ceived his wounds in the great battle
between the English and Germans in
Flanders fields in the summer of 1917
and spent a long time in an English
hospital. He expects to resume his
old occupation as a Great Northern
fireman.

Coming March /, 1919, the great
High School Carnival, greatest sensa-
ton of the season. No efforts are be-
ing spared in preparation of the most
elaborate plans. Among the features
too numerous to mention will be a one
ring circus and animal show, including
two imported birds from the orient,
coming direct from Luna Park. Then
there will be trip around the world,
a rare opportunity. OF great interest
to old and young will be the beautiful
Japanese tea garden. A Contract is
under way for securing Tom Thumb
and his wife. Tom is just recovering
from a severe attack of the flu but We
are hoping he will be able to fill the
contract. There are innumerable other
attractions. Watch the bulletin board

EXTRA PAY FOR SOLDIERS
:.BHNG TAKEN UP IN CONGRESS
Every Man In the Service To Get
Extra Money If Present Plan Works
Out-Other Washington Gossip

Washington, D. C. Feb. 12.-(Spec-
ial correspondence 1.-The latest bill to
be introduced providing for extra pay
for officers and men of the army has
been written by Representative Ed
ward C. Little, of Kansas. The bill
provides for $50 a month extra pay
for every officer and enlisted man as
follows: Those who were under fire
would receive twelve months pay;
those who were overseas, but not I'M
der fire, but in combat forces or in
units liable to service under fire, pay
for six months; those who were not
overseas but who were in combat
force or in forces liable for use under
fire and those who were overseas in
forces not liable for service under fire,
pay for four months. The bill lastly
provides that all those who were not
overseas and who were not liable to
call for service under fire, and whose
only service was given in the depart
ments at Washington shall receive pay
for one month only.

Such a large crowd of Leavenworth
High School students went down to
the fair city of Wenatchee last Friday
to attend the basket ball games that
it was almost necessary to run spec
ial train. After much impatient wait
ing the merry crowd was on its way.
In spite of many admonitions to be-
have ourselves we disobeyed as far as
we could, and laughed and talked, re-
freshing ourselves meanwhile with
doughnuts and other equally whole
some things. At the game the Leav-
enworth rooters, and they formed
goodly number, grouped themselves
at one end of the Y. M. C. A. balcony
where the games were played In
spite of all the roofing our men were
unable to gain victory in either game
but nevertheless everyone was proud
of the sportsmanlike spirit with which
both the basketball teams did their
best even tho they met defeat.

Last Friday two basket ball teams
accompanied by number of enthusi-
astic supporters invaded the lower val
ley and matched their skill against
the Wenatcheeites. The High school
team played the Y. NJ. C. A. and was
defeated by score of Is to 26. The
game started with rush and for a
time it seemed that the Leavenworth
boys were more than equal to the "Y"
veterans. Their defensive play was
superb and Leavenworth stock adj
vanced rapidly. However as is his
custom, Harold Smith started the
scoring for Wenatchee and kept drop
ping the ball thru the ring with mad
dening regularity. Bruce Smith and
Ted Richie starred for Leavenworth.
The game between the two midget
teams was the hilarious show of the
evening and the score was also in IA
vor of Wenatchee. Talbot West
starred for the locals making four out
of the six points made by his team.

An Addition to the Cabinet

If the bill introduced by represen-
tative Horace M. Towner, Of Iowa,
becomes law there will be created
new government department, known
as the Department of Education. This
would also make necessary a secretary
of education who would receive the
regular cabinet salary of $4,000
year. AS far as the general system
OF the department is concerned 1t
would be managed on the same basis
as all other departments and it would
absorb the bureau of education and
all other war emergency commissions
or boards or educational activities that
in the judgment Of the president
should be transferred to this new de-
partment. The secretary of eduea-
ton is made all powerful in the lad
justing of all bureaus, boards, commits
sions, ETC., transferred to his depart
n,ent by this act. The specific duty
of the secretary would be to encourage
the states in the development of pub
lie educational facilities, including
public health education. An appro-
priation of 100000 annually is made
for the paying of. salaries and fex-
penses and for the creating of a sys-
tenn of attaches to American embas-
sizes abroad to deal with educational
matters. $1OO,000,000 is appropri-
ated annually to encourage the promo
ton of educational matters in the
states. A part of this sum is to be
used for the removing of illiteracy; a
part for the Americanization of i'm
migrants; part for the providing OF
better school instruction in the grade
and high schools. In order to share
in this money the states must main
tain in every public school district a
school for at least twenty-four weeks
and provide compulsory attendance
and the English language as the only
basic language. Another part of the
appropriation is set aside for physical
and health education, including the
maintenance of dental clinics, the fur
nishing of school nurses and the in
struction of the people in health and
sanitation. In addition to these pro-
visions the bill is complete in taking
care of every phase of education and
looks to the betterment of educational
facilities, including the education of
teachers both before and after they
are established in a regular school.
