WASHINGTON, Oct.

WASHINGTON. Oct. Total
sales of war savings stamps through
out the United States for the frs,
seven months OF 1919 amounted 10
nearly 500, 100000 according to a
report made by the savings division
of the treasury department. The ex-
act figure is s95, 4OO,47O.21. This
makes per capita investment of
about ninety cents whereas the gov
ernment at the beginning OF the
year asked per capita purchase OF
SO worth of war stamps in order to
meet our debts.
The saving of nearly $1O0,OOO,-
600 in seven months is concrete proof
that the governments thrift cam.

A LITTLE BERRY TALE

w. T. West and son, one and a
half miles east OF Newberg, planted
blackcap raspberries in eleven acres
of young prune trees.
They sold $4,000 worth from this
berry patch, mere by product u y
young prune orchard.
This crop of small fruit growl as
filters in an orchard shows possible
tiles of this industry.
There is such a demand for young
plants they can probably sell several
thousand dollars worth of young
canes that will now come up.

ditures," the report says. Checking
OF extravagant buying is the only
remedy for high prices. Saving
500, 900, 900 simply means cutting
down demand by 800, 100000 ana
turning the money to much needed
production OF necessities"
Leading economists of the coun-
/ try have said there is no hope OF
lower prices until the people under
stand generally that they must stop
, buying things that are not necessary
and they have endorsed the United
States government War Savings
Stamps campaign as the most effec-
tive remedy to that end.

PUNCH HAD TOO MUCH PUNCH

More than 125 persons attending
the third annual banquet of foremen
and department heads of j. F. Duthie
& Co., ship builders, in Seattle last
Saturday evening, at one of the finest
Seattle hotels, were surprised by the
appearance of a police "dry" squad,
who carried off their punch. The
punch it was announced by the police,
had more "punch" than it was enti-
tied to.
Among the diners were Henry Nc
Bride, former governor of Washing
ton; Robert Hesketh, acting mayor;
Capt. E. Ames, federal steamboat in
spector; William Short, president of
the state federation of labor, and
other prominent shipping men. Mr..
Mcbride was the chief speaker.
A. A. Gregory, an assistant drafts
man of the Duthie company, was re-
leased on $1,000 bond. He had been
serving the punch.

BIG PRICES BEING OFFERED
FOR WtNATCHEE APPLES
Buyers are Now Contracting for 1919
Crop-S2.50 Offers Being Made
For Best Varieties

Buyers are offering fixed prices for
the 1919 apple crop of the Wenatchee
district. This is the first time in the
history of the apple growing industry
of the Pacific northwest that contracts
have been signed up at this time of
the year.
Among those who are making Of
fers and signing up contracts are E
Wagner and the Cashmere Apple Co.
Others have signed tentative con-
tracts which amount really to an OPP
ton under the terms of which the
buyer is required to fix the prices at
an early date, usually some time in
August, which is a full month ahead
of the usual time for setting prices.
Some of the contracts being made
contain a significant clause to the eff
feet that if the buyer is unable to Sc
cure cars for shipping the different
varieties within the proper time limit
they are to be relieved from the con-
tract.
Offers of $3.50 and s2.75 for De-
licious orchard run have been made
and some contracts signed on this
basis. For early Jonathans 81 for
extra fancy; for fancy, s1.75, and
s1.25 for c grade has been offered.
The same prices are offered for Wine
saps. Offers ranging from $3.50 to
s1.75 orchard run for the entire crop
of different ranches have been ac-
cepted.
For apricots $40 per ton in loose
boxes is now the ruling quotation.
Cherries are also higher, owing to the
reported scarcity, from 8 to 10 cents
being offered for Bings.

REMEMBERING THE DEAD A
WORTHY SENTIMENT

Is the spirit of veneration for those
who gave their lives in defense of
principle dead in Leavenworth? We
understand no preparation has been
made to hold services at the cemetery
OF Memorial day. We know of no
nearby town that has not made some
effort to meet and hold services for
the dead today. Three Leavenworth
boys gave their lives in the war of
the Huns against Humanity, tho none
of them are buried here. Two of
them sleep in France. Keeping alive
memory of those who offered their
lives that We might escape bondage is
a worthy sentiment. Some three or
four Grand Army men lie in the Leav-
enworth cemetery, and they too offer
ed their bodies for principle.
Later-Just before going to press
we learn that arrangements have been
made to hold services at the ceme-
terry and put in the afternoon in
cleaning up the grounds.

COPPER AT SIXTEEN CENTS

This is good news for western
states. 1t indicates the turn of the
tide. The president of one of the
most important copper concerns in the
country says: "On the basis of sales
the last two months domestic concerns
are taking copper at about their pre-
war basis of 800,O00,000 pounds an
nually. May business is regarded as
good under existing circumstances.
"Of course sales are not sufficient
to absorb the production, even on a
so per cent basis, but the copper in
dustry is not so badly off as some
peo believe.
Further curtailment should be eff
fected and probably will be soon. To
get the most effective results we
should all shut down tight, but there
are many elements to be considered
before such step is taken.
"At current prices none of the large
companies actually lose money on pro-
duction, but there is a wastage of the
mines physical assets which never
can be replaced"

AUTO OWNERS, Be PATIENT
|. Nj. Howell, Secretary of State, Is
sues Thousands of Licenses
Each Day

Be patient if you do not get your
automobile license Immediately. Over
five thousand applications have been
received in single day and for a
series of successive days. It is i'm
possible to issue 5000 licenses each
day; during the rush period there
must be some falling behind even tho
sixty extra people are busy making
out these licenses and mailing out the
permanent auto plates. The task is
an enormous one and entails much re-
sponsibility on the part of the secre-
tary. The work can not be hurried
too much except at the risk of max
ing many errors, which by careful
checking can be avoided.
The labor is all the greater this
year because of thee laws enacted in
1917 and 1919, which necessitate the
expenditure of nearly double the time
to issue each license that it did pre-
viously. For more time is also needed
in mailing the plates, since the small
year plates corresponding to the lar
ger ones must be carefully looked up,
and, in the case of totally new appli-
cants for licenses, must be first fas-
tened to the larger plates by means
of the little brass rivets.
Among other items that retard the
work especially is the one referring
to the weight of machines instead of
horse power, as in previous years.
All data for guidance in this new de-
parture has had to be worked out at
this time since there was nothing in
present use to go by.
Then there are many people who
fail to answer all questions requested
in the application blank, so that it
must be returned for complete infor-
nation. Answers to these questions
are often of greater Importance to the
owners than to the state, for by hav-
ing exact information on hand the
chance of recovering a stolen machine
is far greater than it otherwise would
be, thus saving both time, money and
trouble to the owner.
Altho there had been issued up to
April 10th $4,000 of the new license
and auto plates for the year 1920, the
fees for these amounted to more than
the total collected for auto licenses
during the two years preceding,

LEAD AND ZINC NEED PROTEC
TION

The Wallace, Idaho, Miner points
out a most serious condition with re-
gard to American lead and zinc min
ing industries. The war provided a
market for vast quantities of these
important metals. The cessation of
war put an end to the demand in this
direction and destroyed a large por-
ton of the market both for the pro-
ducts of American mines and those
of foreign countries. AS a conse-
quence large quantities of both lead
and zinc have accumulated in this
country, pending the readjustment of
the market to peace-time conditions.
The most aggravating feature of
the situation is that while the Amer
lean lead and zinc producers are heav-
lily handicapped by a surplus, steady
stream of both metals pour across our
bordegs from foreign countries, fore
ing a curtailment of production Of
American mines and a reduction of
wages of American miners. This sit
uation should be Immediately RENE

LEAVENWORTH CREAMERY TO
BE REOPENED

Mr.. J. NJ. Amundsen tells the Echo
he has made arranements to take over
the Leavenworth Creamery and will
be ready to receive cream by the first
of next week, or shortly thereafter.
He comes highly recommended as a
buttermaker, having come from but
ter making family in Norway and
worked in several creameries in this
country, most recently at Wenatchee,
where he was the head butter maker
at the Pleasant Hill Creamery. He
says he fully understands it will re-
quire both patience and perseverance
to recover lost ground on account of
the Leavenworth Creamery having
been closed for six months or more.
He says however he means to see all
the owners of milk herds and thinks
he can convince them, not only that
he knows his business but that he will
give them a square deal. He means
to make butter, ice cream and also
cottage cheese. He says he will pay
the Seattle price for cream and make
prompt settlement with ranchers. All
he asks is trial.

If you did not get at least two let

were given out in the United States
alone by the Y. NJ. C. A. from the
time mobilization began up to now to
send two letters to every person in
the United States and leave an excess
of some sixty MILLIONS.
If placed end to end the red tri-
angle envelopes would girdle the earth
at the equator and still leave a strip
long enough to reach from Atlanta,
Ca, to any point on the Pacific coast.
In the home camps the Y. M. C. A.

ARE THERE BASS IN FISH LAKE?

The big question among anglers for
years has been: Are there bass in
Fish Lake," Some eight or ten years
ago black bass were planted in these
waters and every year some one comes
back from the lake with a story of
having caught bass, but not much
credence has been placed in the re-
ports, and the Echo has been unable
to find anyone who would testify on
oath that they had seen bass taken
from fish lake. Harry Blankenship
of the forestry office claims to have
caught a bass in these waters last
year, and last Sunday trolled the full
length of the lake in an effort to hook
one of the willy fish. He had no luck
but says he is ss1re he saw one rise
to the surface. Doctor Hoxsey, who
is also an angler of some repute, is
anxious to know whether bass exists
in these waters and is arranging for
a quantity of live ninnows which he
will use in an endeavor to find out, so
in the near future we may expect to.

THE CENTENARY DRIVE

For the past few weeks the Metho-
dist church at Leavenworth, as well
as all the Methodist churches of the
United States, have been very busy
in the great Centenary program,
wherein the church was to raise one
hundred and five million dollars to be
used in the extension of missionary
work in the foreign fields and also at
home, and in the reconstruction work
in the war devasted areas of Europe.
Our quota for the five years was for
the Centenary s3,36000, then in ad-
dition there was s1,600.00 for the
Deaconess Hospital at Wenatchee,
and for local church improvements,
81 900.
The people of the town and COM
munity have responded very gener
ously, and we have raised for the
Centenary $3,527.66; for the hospital
1,351.16 and for local church i'm
provements, 2,936.18
The response to this call has been
from the members of the church,
friends and business people who are
interested in this great movement,
and we want to take this method of
thanking each person who so magnan-
imously aided in this great forward
movement, and we trust that these
offerings may be the means of bring
ing relief to many who are in dire
need, and light to many who are in
heather darkness. E. r. McClain

he burst into singing, and all the people wondered and said, What manner ol child shall this be?'
 Similar questions have been asked by parents in all ages. No one ever inten- tionally raised child for the state prison. Every one hopes that his boy or girl VIII turn out to be great, good and useIui member of society, and ever and anon they are asking the question, What man. ner of child shall my child be?'
 The answer to this question depends largely upon three things: First, who and what kind of people his parents are. Blood will tell. We believe in blooded stock and we must believe in blooded men. It is question of much concern as to what classes in society are send1nS forth the children to be the men anu women of the future generation Ihe second factor in the making of a child is the influences to which he IS carry subjected. The matter of playmates IS an easy one for the child to decide, but dlt1l- cult for parents. We need to exercise great care, for the education of the streets and the play ground is of as great lm- portance as that of the school. The third factor is the voluntary choices of ths child himself Every effort should be made to strengthen the will and direct the choices of the child while young
 We shoudl not fail to stress the lm- portance of early conversion. Those who are led to Christ early and carefully trained in Christian duty and actlVlty make the best men and women Few or them fall away It is as natural for children to respond to the influence of Christ as it is for flowers to unfold under the influence of the sun. If they are nor early led to Christ, in all probability ths fault is ours.''
