CANDLES FOR THE RICH

Thomas A Edison once predicted
that the time would come when only
the rich could afford to burn candles.
In 1915 the average American fam
lily spent $22 year for sperm oil and
candles, and they got rs candle power
lights for their money. Then came
kerosene, and this form of lighting
was only two-thirds as expensive as
candles. Gas light in the average
home, prior to 1885, cost about $34 a
year, but of course, the illumination
was greatly increased as compared to
that furnished by candles and oil.
The average family is again back to
the 500 year basis for lighting, but
instead of Pickering candles they have
something like 1880 candle-power-
hours. When the Lord said, "Let
there be light" it must have been in
contemplation of the present times.
But reckoned in the scale of the
"cost of living" electricity has done
marvellous things.

A. C. HUFF BACK FROM FRANCE

Mr.. A. C. Huff, recently returned
from France where he spent two
months and a half in regular army
service, stopped off here yesterday on
his way from the coast to Wenatchee,
where his wife is employed in the pub
lie schools. Mr.. Huff will be recalled
as the pastor of the Methodist church
in Leavenworth about four years ago.
Since leaving here, besides serving in
the army he spent year in Texas
He landed in the U. S. A. January
10Th. He says he was in the same
regiment with Angus and Dan Mich
olson and says both of these boys are
now back Angus is in Spokane and
may be back here any day. Dan
stopped to visit in Nebraska. Mr..
Huff says after seeing Europe he has
greater respect and veneration for the
the United States and her institutions.
Also he says this country is ahead of
that portion he saw in many respects.
He says the French railroads are fifty
years behind those in this country. In
many other respects he says this coun-
try is far in advance of Europe. On
the boat he crossed in was a Belgian
girl both of whose hands had been
cut off between the wrist and the ell
bows by the Germans.

SAYINGS OF THE WISE

satisfaction is the first sign of
decay.
IF you don't care what happens it's
likely to.
"Care killed the cat" but "don't
care" kills men.
Nobody really wants "all that's
coming" to him.
If you are too easily offended you
are probably offensive.
The masters of men are slaves of
their own power.
Jobs lot was hard one, but what
do you think of Lots wife's lot?
A civil tongue and a softened voice,
Of earthly gifts are Heavens choice.
A modiste is so called because her
prices never and styles seldom are.
Quick help is best help. A dead
man does not appreciate your favors.
Self-praise not only is half scandal
but sometimes is wholly an untruth.
When trouble climbs in at the win
dow, the man of the house hunts the
attic.
Don't expect too much of people. If
you expect nothing you can't be dis
appointed.
It's terribly sad to the man of ex-
perience to watch young dog trying
to learn old tricks.
Some young gallants who have
never smelled powder probably would
admit they've tasted it.
Never despair until they cease
knocking you. When they do it means
you are in the scrap heap.
The only person who seems to worry
much about his future is one who is
never going to have any.
The only trouble with folks is that
they don't have common sense. But
who is going to be the Judge?
Men and women kill each other for
love. Men and women kill each other
for hate. Their love is hate.

about yourself the more time others
will be inclined to think about you.

CLAIMS GIRLS STOLE CAR

Ed McCollum of Blewett complained
to the sherriff's office yesterday that
two Blewett girls had stolen his Ford
and taken two other young men out
joy riding. He brought the girls
down from Blewett in the morning
and left his car at a garage. He al
leges in his verbal tale of woe that the
tickle damsels took his car and went
for a tour of the valley with a couple
of handsomer men. However before
the culprits could be located the car
was returned in good condition, and
Mr.. McCollum decided not to prose-
cute the fair but tickle maidens.-We-
natchee World, Mch. 5.

EXPECT BIG WHEAT CROPS

With a snowfall varying from one
to three feet over the Inland Empire
within the last week, conditions for a
huge wheat crop next year are ideal.
This blanket of snow has fallen on
porus ground as there has been no
freezing weather for the past month,
and all of the moisture will soak into
the soil.
"Talk about your million dollar
rains; this is a fifty-million dollar
snow" says Vice-President w. d.
Vincent of the Old National Bank.
"The weather conditions this year
have been ideal, and | expect to see
next fall the biggest crop of wheat
in the history Of the Inland Empire"

, FALL OF BARBARY COAST
The Most Sensational of All Films

Monday and Tuesday, March 10 and
II, at the Scenic Theatre. Popular
prices, 20 and 35 cents. No war tax.
The scene of the play is laid in the
old Tenderloin district of San Fran
cisco said to have been the largest vice
center in the world. A few years ago
the best people of San Francisco got
together and resolved to clean up this
hell hole. They did but the exposures
and revelations startled the world.
Several of the leading citizens went to
prison others committed suicide to es-
cape the disgrace. What the commit
tee was up against and how they
waged their fight against the owners
of the Red Light district is interest
ngly told in the picture.

F. f. Carlquist received a shipment
of eight Edison monographs the past

He says it wasn't hard work as the
people realize they are getting some
thing in an Edison machine Several
more sales were closed by him the

some excuse for living in the past but
nobody else has.
A thought for youth we know who
is about to be married: Ten years
from now you wouldn't think of mar
rying her.
If mans cad he often shows it
by an attempt at condescension. Real
worth is so sure of itself it wants
no pedestal.
A local teacher said she always
liked the children in her room to
"appear fresh in the morning" Some
we know of are that way all the time.
The man who at twenty thinks he
is going to turn the world upside
down is lucky if at sixty the world
hasn't turned him upside down.
A woman who can make a man
stand up on his hind legs, roll over
and play dead, never seems to have
the same effect on other women.
You hear a good deal of wishing
for the return of the old-fashioned
girls, but if one of them were to
walk down street right now everybody
would giggle about her clothes.
A Beautiful though for today
People are not half so worried about
what they know as about what they
suspect.
Yes-"YOu're 0verdrawn"
Of all sad words that come to snow
you under,
Are there sadder than these, "Ill owe
you" | wonder?

The grand High School carnival last
week was big success financially and
otherwise. The splendid cooperation
of teachers and pupils are to be noted.
There was such a crowd Friday night
that it was necessary to repeat most
of the performances Saturday even
ing. The circus was very popular
place but a tragedy occurred when the
pet ostrich broke its neck The pet
rified man caused much wonder and
awe. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thumb very
ably filled Their contract and attracted
much well earned attention. All of
the booths proved very popular but
more especially the American booth
and the Japanese tea garden. The
Dutch windmill made the doughnuts
famous, as it was intended or possibly
Dutch lassies themselves. The war
trophy tent was very interesting. We
take this means of thanking those peo-
pie who so kindly loaned their souven-
iegs to be used in the display. One
of the drawing attractions of the car
nival was the vaudeville. Several
songs were cleverly pantomined after
which the Hawaiian Serenaders rem
dered some very pretty music. The
Hawaiian princess delighted old and
young alike with her Hula Hula Ed
ma Cline also danced the Highland
Fling. Hiram and Matilda" came
to enjoy the fun Friday night and
poor Matilda had a terrible time to
keep her eye on her hayward husband
who was bound to run away so that
he could see the show.
There was a great deal of friendly
rivalry among the High school classes
to see which one could arrange the
most attractive booth. 1t was a diff
ficult task to decide for which class
to vote but the Seniors came out
ahead followed closely by the other
three.
Saturday night Whitman 9Th grade
basket ball team came up from We
natchee to challenge the Leavenworth
Midgets to basket ball game. The
game commenced with bang and We
natchee easily scored the first two
points. But it wasn't long until Leav-
enworth got into the game and the
fight was on. Both teams made some
lively and excellent plays but the re-
suit was a score of 11-16 in favor of
Leavenworth. Titus and Guest
starred for the locals. The lineup for
Leavenworth; Guest, center; Barbano
West, forwards; Sauer, Titus, guards;
A fact to be noticed in this game was
good teamwork. Every player scored
at least one point for his team.

Last Wednesday night on the To-
cal floor the Withrow High School bias
ket ball team lost to the Leavenworth
quintette by score of II to 25. The
Leavenworth boys had not been on the
floor since the Wenatchee game and
were very slow in getting started. At
ter the first few minutes every player
seemed to come to life at once and
Motteler converted succession of fast
plays into brilliant baskets. The big
folyard has been playing in hard luck
all year, earning many shots only to
lose the count by having the ball roll
over or flip out of the ring. Captain
Smith as usual was everywhere all
the time and deserves much credit for
blocking opponents plays and starting
the offensive toward his own goal.
The Withrow boys are a splendid lot of
husky fellows and about the best high
school team seen here this year
The Seniors have decided to give a
class play the latter part of April. 1t

timbers were stolen for that dis
tance and will have to be replaced.
TIL 5 shaft is on the St Cloud claim
of the Belcher estate and within 10
feet Of the Extension line and is
breaking into the breCCia although 1t
was not expected to find the softer
formation at less than 300 feet The
plan is to drive southeast on the
Belcher and northeast on the Belcher
Extension thus going ahead on both
groups and saving valuable time
and reducing the cost Of the initial
work over 100000 Both companies
are conducted under the management
of Mr.. Roberts and therefore there
has not been any trouble in coming
to an agreement mutually satisfac-
tory The shaft will be continued to
the 400 foot point before any lateral
work will be done, although a station
will be cut at 300 feet to enable the
companies to do some prospecting,
