Now think this over.
BOYS, if the outdoors is the best
medicine for those who are i'll, surely
the open must be the greatest up
builder for growing boys. That which
will restore health will sure improve
those who are healthy.
Military training has shown the
American boy the joy of clean living.
1t gave him newborn strength-the
splendid vigor of the outdoors. He
will not forget it.
Boys, keep your minds and bodies

when 1 was alone in the ward, he
showed me the verses he had been

of love-and all his love was directed
toward me.

A singing pain flashed through my
right arm below the wrist. In a mo-

a severed artery.
Screaming for aid, I lodged behind
the chair. Nurses rushed into the
room and disarmed the man. He
was insane. They strapped him to his
sot, and after a time he relaxed n
went to sleep. At noon he awoke,
calling my name.
They told him what he had done.
He refused to believe it, insisting that
he loved me, that he had never touch

him, but death did not. Three days

~ the next best thing to rain.
Home canning is kitchen patriot
ism. There is really nothing to can
ming vegetables and fruits except
fresh products, jars, heat, care and
cleanliness.
Can nothing that can be kept with
cat canning. Dry such vegetables SIS
corn, string beans, mature lima beans,

Concentrate products, especially
soup mixtures, so that each con-
tainer will hold as much canned goods
and as little water as possible.
Pickle or brine suitable vegetables
in crooks.
1t is now time to transplant your
celery. Put the plants in 5-foot rows,
six inches apart in the row. 1t pays
to set celery in wide deep burrows in
order that the soil may be gradually
worked to the plants as they grow.
Now is the time to plant that fall
crop of Irish potatoes, and to trans
plant cabbage for fall use.
TO control celery blight, spray
plants every two or three weeks with
Bordeaux mixture, 4-4-50. 1t will do
very little good after the disease ap-

VICTORY PLATOON.

Harry J. Kerr, county chairman Of
the Victory Loan committee, has work
ed up scheme that IS going to attract
much attention and arouse inerest in
Victory bond subscriptions. The plan
is to enlist the services of sixteen SOL
diers, two each from Omak, Conconully,
Tonasket Okanogan, Brewster, River
side, Oroville and Twisp, and starting
out in automobiles visit the various
towns of the county The raid will start
May 1st from Okanogan, and that day
take in Okanogan Omak. Riverside
and Tonasket. May End the trip will
cover Nelson Oroville, Loomis and
Conconully. May Bird the eXcursionists
take in Brewster Pateros, Methow,
Carlton and Twisp. At each town the
local committee will have every eX-sol-
der out in uniform, they will meet the
sixteen men making the speaking tour
and join the Victory Platoon in a
march through town. The idea is a
splendid one and will undoubtedly
meet the approval of the boys who
have been in the service. Certainly it
will arouse interest in the bond sale
and help Okanogan county in subscrib-
ing its quota.

DEATH OF MRS. l.. l.. WORK.

The sad news reached Oroville Sun
at the home of her brother, Bert Bate,
a resident of the Methow valley, where
she has been living for some months
For the past year or more Mrs, Work
had been in falling health, and hence
her death was not surprise, yet none
the loss painful to her old friends
throughout the county.
The deceased was pioneer of the
county, having lived for number OF
years at Conconully, where her hus-
band was engaged in the banking busi-
ness. Mr.. Work moved to Oroville and
some two years ago left for the east
to make his home with his family
Shortly after going east Mrs. Work
was taken i'll. For time she was in 4
hospital, but came west after gaining
some strength and made her home
with her brother. ..
Mr.. Work is in Paris at the present
time, having enlisted in the Y. M. c.
A., service. Her son, Kenneth, is in a
naval IL idlllIHS SCHOOl. I1eI TWO uduSll-
ters. Mrs. S. B Starrett, Jr., and Miss
Carol, are residents of Oroville.
Mr.. and Mrs. Starrett. Jr., and Miss
Carol Work, accompanied by Mrs
Chas. T. Peterson left Monday morn
ing for the home of l1r. Bate, and the
funeral was Leld that afternoon, the
services being conducted by Rev
Derby of the Winthrop Methodist
church.
During her residence in Oroville
Mrs. Work won the esteem OF all with
whom she came in contact. She was E
gentle, refined and loveable lady, 6
devoted wife. a loving and self-sacri
ficing mother, and a kind and sym
pathetic neighbor. During her many
years Of residence in Okanogan county
she made a vast number of friends
who sincerely mourn her death. The
sympathy of those friends are extended
to the family in this time OF their grea
affliction.

THAT TROPHY TRAN.

There has been change in the date
OF the much advertised Trophy Train
that is max ng a tour of the state in
the interest Ct the Victory Loan drive.
At CGrding } the old sc le.iule the train
was to arrive here late in 1ne evening
and leave early the next aorning, but
according to the new arrGilg gsmcnt the
train gets here rather late on the
evening of Tuesday May 8. and leaves
for Republic during the night, missing
the Nelson date, which viii be 4 great
disappointment to our neighbors on
the hill Owing to this change of time
it is hoped that as many of tho Nelson
people as can possibly do so will come
to Oroville and take look ut the Won
derful display of trophies captured in
France by the Dist Division, division
in which number of Okaiogan coun-
ty boys served. 1t is proposed hy the
people of the town that visitors rom
the surrounding country as we'll as
home folks shall see this collection. for
it is the intention to run wires to the
depot and provide electric illumination
that will permit people to take their
time in examining the exhibition of
relics of the battlefields of Frfance.
The announcement OF the change Of
time was received by S. B. Starrett,
Jr.. local chairman of the Victory Loan
committee, in a telegram received
Wednesday, as follows:
S. b. STARRETT, JR,
Chairman Victory Loan Committee,

May 6. Army plane will give exhibit

arrival. Train leaves that evening for

Now. we have mentioned the eXhibi
tiOr of trophies, which will be exceed
ingly interesting but the most import
ant attraction of the visit rs the flight
Of the army plane, and that is stdnt
that every resident of the town and
surrounding country will want to see.
That is the real big event, and one
that Is of sufficient Importance to
induce people to travel long dis-an,e
t, see The plane is in charge II and
will be manned by army aviators
These are the boys who have seen SER

men who have taken long essaId say era
training to perfect themselves in TIE
handling of flying machines, and some
of them have risked their lives chasing
or being chased by Huns. While we
may all take keen interest in the ma
chimes of death that were used in an
effort to head off the Yankee boys
who would not be denied, still few of
us hicks out in this neck o the woods
have seen many aeroplanes, and none
of us out of the service have ever seen
the war machine. hence the exhibition
flight will be the greatest attraction
of this Trophy Train visit.

CHANGES IN THE ORPHEUM.

When Mrs. Van Alta started in to "e-

Orpheum, it was the intention to con-
fine the building to a dance hall and o
place for general public meetings, but
as the movement for new auditorium,
at least for this year, is about to Re
given up she has been induced to fit
up the building for entertainments,
which will necessitate the putting in
Of a stage. Mrs. Van is now arranging
with Contractor Cramer to put in a
modernly appointed stage which will
be provided with dressing rooms, toll
cts, foot lights drops and all the neces-
sary accessories. A gallery will also
be put in at the front, and the room
when furnished will have seafng
capacity of about 500 The walls are
TO be pannelled and the interior will
be very attractively finished through
out, making a very creditable house of
entertainment for TIE town. Mrs. Van
