Bulgarian Jews are able to meet
the needs of their own poor, but they
have recently been confronted with
a new responsibility. Roumanian Jews
. are seeking refuge in Bulgaria, and
their Bulgarian co-religionfsts are at
loss to know what to do with them.
There is no work, even for skilled ar
tisans.
"a soup kitchen is being run for
these people Of Sophia, but many are
desperata. An allotment from our
American Jewish relief fund must be
made to care for them"
In Roumania there is need of cloth
ing and staple foods. 1t was Miss
Goldman who made the investigation
In this country also.
Clothing Greatest Need.
"The people needed clothing above
everything else" her report reads.
almost everybody is shabby, and a
large percentage of the poor are prac-
tically without clothing. / went into
many homes where the inmates had on
mere rags or were huddled in torn
blankets of sacking.
"The second greatest need is for
staple foods such as dry beans, peas,
rice, vegetables, fats and the like.
Such supplies as are to be had are sold
Mt exorbitant prices. American Jew
lsh relief committees should send
clothing and food for about $4,000 per-
sons. Only If this is done will they
have protection against the hardships
of next winter.
II was painfully impressed by the
number of sick in Roumanla. In Bu-
charest, out of a Jewish population Of
$4,000 there was an average Of eight
funerals day last winter. A large
percentage Of typhus cases in Bucha-
rest and Jassy have been among Jews.
The lack Of clothing, especially Of
clean underwear, has been a contrib
uting cause. The inability to obtain
fuel made families huddle, in their
rooms. Some did not go outside their
homes practically all winter"
Machinery for the effective distribu-
tion Of relief in the Balkan countries
is in operation. More than 100000

tons Of kosher meat, was sent from
New York late in July to Constanya,

LOVED FRENCH GIRLS

A Wenatchee girl is suing her hus-
band for divorce because as she says
he became fondly attached to various
French girls while serving with the
American Expeditionary forces during
the war. She alleges that he made
the acquaintance of several different
French girls while away with whom
he still corresponds and that he in
formed his wife that he no longer
cared for her. 1t is also charged
that he preferred the French girls to
the Americans and constantly COM
pared the costumes and appearances
of the French maidens to those of
their American cousins greatly to the
detriment of the latter. This couple
was married about a month before the
husband went into the service and
now the divorce mill is grinding in less
than month after his return. It's
great life-I III say so.

WENATCHEE LAKE SHINGLE
MILL REBUILDING

Christensen & Delano, formerly
located at Marysville, near Everett,
bought the property and have their
new mill building almost completed.
New shingle making machinery will
be installed at once and the propri-
etors expect to be making shingles
by the end of the month. A con-
siderable quantity of shingle bolts are
already on hand and contracts have
been made for continuous supply.
For shingle making the cedar of the
Wenatchee lake region is exceptionally
good. A visit to the plant the first
of the week indicated that Messrs.
Christofersen & Delano are pushing
things. They have a large force of
men on the job.
Quite village is springing up
about the foot of Lake Wenatchee, and
as the cedar timber is not nearly ex-
hausted, but will last for years, there
is possibility of further growth.

"WHOSE BOY WILL Do TIP"
Is Going to be the Big Question in the
Next Few Weeks

Washington, June 11-"Whose boy
will do it?"
According to prominent member
of congress today this question will be
freely asked in the senate and house
asked many times in the weeks to
come-in connection with certain
phases of the covenant for a league
of nations.
He pointed out that it is proposed
to maintain the territorial boundaries
of Europe and the rest of the world
and tha this would require troops;
also that ther was a plan afoot tc
make this country mandatory OF
guardian for Constantinople and vi
cinity and for Armenia and that this
would require troops.
"What I want to know" said the
member referred to, "is where Amer
ica is going to get the troops. Is my
boy going? Is your boy going? Dc
they expect the Lansing family or the
Daniels family or the Baker family
to send their young men to do this
task? Or will it be the Jones boy
and the Brown boy? You know re-
cruiting for foreign service now is
slow. Even officers are reluctant tc
go abroad, as is well known.
"Is it the intention, if need be, tc
conscript men to keep European
boundaries fixed and keep watch and
ward over Turkey and Armenia"

GAME LAWS FURNISHED ON
REQUEST

The new compilation. of the game
and Game Fish Code of this state has
been received by State Game Warden
l.. H. Darwin and is now being fur
nished to the game wardens of the
various counties of the state for dis
tribution to interested parties.
The last session of the Legislature
made only two changes in the game
laws. One provides that skins of bea-
yer killed outside of the state may be
shipped into the state and sold after
being tagged by the state game war
den. The other change provides for
the licensing of game farms. The
new compilation of the laws contains
these amendments.
The game laws of the state provide
that the county game commissions, in
their respective counties, may open,
close or shorten the upland bird sea-
son. They further provide that the
state game warden may, anywhere in
the state, and the county game COM
missions may, in their respective
counties, close any fresh waters to
game fishing when such action is
deemed necessary for the preserva-
ton of the fish. In accordance with
these provisions of the law many
county game commissions have made
changes in their upland bird season
and number of the county game
commissions have closed certain lakes
and streams to game fishing.
The new compilation of the Game
and game Fish Laws as prepared by
the state game warden not only gives
the personnel of all county game
commissions and the county game
wardens, but in addition sets out
whatever changes have been made by
the county game commissions in their
respective counties in the upland bird
season and also what streams and
lakes they have closed to fishing in
their respective counties. This makes
the compilation an invaluable guide,
particularly to those who fish or hunt
in more than one county in the state.
Another new and extremely valu-
able feature of the compilation is two
charts which show the game laws of
western and eastern Washington at
glance. Because of the different
climatic conditions the game laws OF
the two sections of the state differ
materially.
If you desire copy of this COM
pilation and cannot secure one from
your county game commission or
county game warden, it may be Sc
cured by addressing L. H. Darwin,
State Game Warden, p. o. Box 3S4,
Seattle, Wash.

FOR ROOSEVELT HOLIDAY

Observance of the birthday of the
late Theodore Roosevelt on the 9th
day of October of each year as
national holiday is provided in bill
introduced in the house by Represen-
tative Bacharach, of New Jersey, a
republican.
It is stipulated in the measure that
all commercial paper be considered as
on Sunday and that when the 9th
falls on Sunday the following day
shall be celebrated thruout the United
States as the birthday of one of the
very greatest of American chief ex-
ecutives.
This is largely the outcome of the
patriotic movement started in New
York by John T. King, republican
national committeeman from Connec-
ticut, who at the time of his death
was closer politically to Mr.. Roosevelt
than any other person, for the build
ing of a fitting memorial. He was at
that time appointed by Chairman Will
Hays as one of the honorary vice
presidents of the work of creating
the memorial. With a republican
congress in power it is anticipated
that both memorial and birthday OBJ
servance will be brought about in the
near future.

BUILD NOW-PRICES MAY
NEVER BE ANY LOWER

The Minneapolis News says:
Judging by history and by sound
economic theory it will be gener-
alton before prices get back to pre-
war levels, if they ever do"
Cold facts gathered by the govern
ment say 'go ahead with home build
ing.
Up to the first of the year farm
produce prices had advanced 116 per
cent over pre-war prices. The cor
responding figure for lumber was "a
per cent.
Commodities in general advanced
113 per cent. Building materials (not
including steeD advanced 81 per cent.
These are the facts. Judging by
history and by sound economic the
ory; it will be a generation before
prices get back to pre-war levels, if
they ever do.
Probably there will be gradual
decline, but meantime there will be an
evening up. Prices which have gone
up fastest and highest will come down
first and most. Prices which have
made the smallest comparative ad-
vance are apt to stay put until other
prices come down to their level. This
last applies to the building materials
Its poor business to wait.

LEAGUE IS BIG FAKE
SAYS SENATOR REED
Makes Hitchcock Admit it Has Very
Little to Do and only Quin-
tuple Alliance

Washington, June 12-EXcoriation
of the proposed league of nations as
an immense fake was indulged in by
! Senator Reed of Missouri, in a lively
Tilt with Senator Hitchcock, of Ne
braska, also a democrat, and chair
man of the senates committee on for
eign relations in the last congress.
Senator Reed has been pointing out
that the cannabalistic negroes of Ii
IBERIA, the barbaric denizens of He'd
iez, the assassin government of Hayti
and the backward states of Honduras,
Panama, Gautamala, Ecuador, Bo-
livia, Peru, Brazil and Siam, would
under the covenant have exactly as
much power in the League as the
United States.
Hitchcock was much annoyed at
this argument which was presented
with an array of facts that were
startling.
"Will the senator explain what they
can vote on" he asked.
"On anything that America can
vote on in the league of nations" re-
torted Reed.
"The Senator is entirely mistaken"
asserted Hitchcock
"Ah," said Reed, "does the Senator
claim the league of nations has moth
ing to do? Let us have it out-does
it have nothing to do or does it have
something to do?"
"The league has very little to do"
admitted Hitchcock.
"Then the league is a fake, is it
not ?" asked the Missourian.
"Practically all of its powers, as the
Senator well knows, if he has studied
the constitution of the proposed
league, are in the hands of the eX-
ecutive council, and the only five per-
manent members of that executive
council are the United States, Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan"
"Then you have not league of ma
tions, but a quintuple alliance" re-
piled Reed. Tnstead of having a
league of nations of the world, as the
president has said he was going to
have, you have five great nations
that have united themselves to gov
ern and dominate the world. You
plead too much. You have pleaded
that the league was to become a
great force to control the evil passions
of men and bring peace, harmony and
good will, and now you give as your
only excuse for its existence that it is
a powerless thing"
every dispute" interjected Sena-
tor Knox, (which could be carried to
the council could be carried back to
the assembly, so that the little ma
tions could prevent justice from being
done to the great nations of the
world"

Some very much needed work was
done on the principal streets the past
few days. No longer since than yes
terday Mayor Motteler was assisting
in filling up some of the holes at the
street crossings that have been as a
thorn in the side, or shall we say in the
seat, of the automobile drivers.
Oiled gravel and cinders has proved
most excellent material for repairing
streets, such as filling up holes. Travel
packs the material smooth and it
seems to hold well.

CHILDREN'S DAY PROGRAM

The Children's Day program given
at the Methodist church, Sunday eve
ming was huge success in every way,
due largely to the untiring efforts of
Mrs. E. r. McClain, assisted by the
choir. The church was crowded
many being turned away, before the
program began.
On Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. McClain
gave a party on her lawn to all the
children who had taken part in the
program. The afternoon shower
drove them to the church basement
where their good time continued until
$50 when they reluctantly turned
homeward.

FRUIT SYNDICATE BUYS
CURTIS ORCHARD TRACT
Curtis Farms Are Sold At Price Re
ported To Be $9O,OOO-Other Big
Deals Are Pending

The largest orchard deal yet con.
sumated in the Upper Wenatchee Val
ley was closed this week. The Amer
ican Fruitgrowers, Inc, have pur-
chased the Curtis farms and the
Burns and Curtis orchards, located
three miles below Leavenworth on
the north side of the Wenatchee river
Frank |. Curtis, of Seattle is the lar
gest stockholder in the two companies
The price is rumored at 100000.
Both orchards were planned, set out
and cared for by Ralph Curtis, son of
Frank Curtis. The trees are now
between seven and nine years old and
are just coming into full bearing.
The Curtis farms produced $4,000
boxes of commercial apples from GO
acres last year. The Burns and
Curtis orchards consists of SO acres
of orchards which is younger.
The orchards are improved with
modern bungalos. There are mod
ern quarters for workers and big
barns, with equipment including pow
er sprayers, teams, tillage and trac-
tors. The varieties planted are prin-
cipally Delicious, Rome Beauty and
Jonathans.
Aside from the orchard, there are
about thirty five acres in alfalfa on
the Curtis farm property, which is in
cluded in the sale. Mr. Curtis will
continue as superintendent of the two
orchards.
The Fruit syndicate is reported to
have options on the Starks orchards
and the Lanphere place as well as
several other large orchards in this
district.
So far the American Fruitgrowers
have bought 575 acres of bearing or
chard in the Wenatchee valley, paying
$465,000 cash for the total acreage.
Wells and Wade have charge of the
interests of the syndicate in this vi
cinity. Crutchfied & Voolfolk of
Pittsburg, Pa, are active organizers
of the syndicate The capital of the
company is $10O,O0O,0OO, and in ad-
dition to growing and marketing
fruits and vegetables they will oper-
ate a chain of modern cold storage
plants.
The growth and magnitude of the
operations of the American Fruit
rowers, Inc, is demonstrated by the
fact that some of the big men of the
country are on the staff. 1t is an
nounced from Washington, d. c. that
Charles j. Brand has resigned as
chief of the bureau of markets of the
u. S. department of agriculture to be-
come general manager of the com
pany. 1t is also announced that Pro-
fessor VIM. F. Scott, one of the high
est authorities on fruit disease, has
been placed in charge of the orchard
development and disease control of the
company.
