OUR NEW SCHOOL SUPERIN-
TENDENT

A great deal of favorable comment
has been heard concerning the action
of the school board in selecting Prof.
A. T. Sutton as superintendent of our
schools to succeed Mr.. Osborn. Mr..
Sutton is no stranger in Leavenworth
having been here on several occasions
with basket ball team from Chelan
high school, where he was superinten-
dent for six years. Prof. Osborn,
who has known Mr.. Sutton for many
years, says the new superintendent is
a better man than the one he sue
ceeds.

HOW THE TAXPAYERS MONEY
WILL BE SPENT ON ROADS
-Four Year Program Adopted By Com
missiOners-PeOple to Vote On
$S3O,0OO Bond Issue Sept. 20

Hereto appended is the plan of
spending the money arising from the
$s30,O0O Bond issue.
Because the voters are interested
in knowing just how the $S30,000 pro-
posed to be raised by the bond issue
is to be spent, and on what roads, we
are herewith giving a detailed ac-
count of just how and where the mon
ey is to be spent, and for what pur
pose.
1t will be noted that 100000 is to
be set aside to be used on the Sunset
Highway from Wenatchee west. The
statement below, taken from the
county records, reads "Wenatchee to
Leavenworth." This is inaccurate, as
the money is to be used in connection
with state and federal highway mon
ey, as indicated, and the road from
Leavenworth to where it connects with
the Sunset highway, Peshastin creek,
is a county road of the second class,
and not entitled under the law to state
aid money. No provision is made
to improve this road from Leaven-
worth to Peshastin creek, as the read
er will note.
1t will also be noted that of the
S83O,0O0, 100000 is to be applied to
the IS foot concrete road from Wenat-
chez west on the Sunset highway, to
Peshastin creek, supplemented by
S297.OOO from the state and federal
road funds. Then there is to be
spent on the Lake Chelan-Manson
road on nine foot concrete road,
S16O.0OO. In other words of the
SS3O,O0O county bond money S460,OOO
will be used in constructing hard sur
faced road. $4,000 of the balance
will be used in grading and gravelling
the Sunset highway from Peshastin
creek west to ingalls, ere Elk.
Of the remaining $325,000, $780,
900 is to be spent on the follow
ingroads leading out o f Wenat-
chee into nearby orchard districts,
Wenatchee south line, $25 1000; Stemilt
road, $4,000; Squillchuck, $4,000;
Wenatchee to Malaga, $4,000; on
state road No. 10 and the P. H. up
river from Wenatchee, $130,000 or a
total of S235, 900 to be spent in grad
ing and gravelling, mind you, grad
ing and gravelling, every road out of
Wenatchee, and thus leaving only
S135. 900 out of the S370,000 left after
taking care of the two hard surfaced
roads.
The reader will also note that OF
the entire bond issue not one penny
is to be spent for the benefit OF the
western portion of the county, other
than that spent in improving the
Sunset Highway.
The following tabulated statements,
that relating to the bond issue and
the four year county road levy of ten
mills. was furnished the Echo by the
county auditors office, and is pre-
summed to be correct. If in any re-
snect it is incorrect this paper will be
njeased to make corrections.

ZION HAS A MUCH BETTER WAY

Illustrating an article by John Dill Robertson,
Health Commissioner of Chicago, cartoon in
the Chicago Tribune, this week. shows that, un-
der the modern system of medical treatment,
man. rising weak and emaciated from a two
weeks illness, is faced not only with family re-
sponsbities but doctor bill of say $04, trained
nurse bill of $40 and a druggist bill of SIS.
All three of these worthies-doctor, nurse and
druggist credit for having saved him from
the undertaken.
DR.. Robertson urges, as partial relief from
this professional thraldom, the training Of 1000,
600 practical nurses" or "housekeepers for the
sick" the course to include instruction in ''prac
teal housekeeping and domestic science"
He argues that while three years is the time
allotted in which to train an officer for military
servce,-the same as that required for profess
sional nurse-during the recent war, officers from
second lieutenants to captains were turned out in
three months time as competent and fit for duty
by system of intensive training He adds that
if this can be done with military officers, it also
can be done in fitting intelligent women for nurs
ing service.
Zion has better way-the Scriptural way.
We place Our trust in the Great Physician in time
of Sickness and eliminate all doctors, professional
nurses, druggists and drugs.
We have OUR own Zion nurses-godly, pray
ing women, who are selected, trained and set
aside for this work. The soundness of this
course is shown by the fact that the death rate
has been far less in Zion than in surrounding
cities, especially during the past few months when
the whole world has been swept by plague which
has destroyed millions of people and from which
thousands are still dying all over the land
Also by the fact that in about twelve years,
only three Zion women have died in childbirth in
Zion City, out of all the hundreds of births in that
time the rate being less than one per cent.
Compare this with the appalling record in Chi
cago, where, according to the statement of the
late Dr. John B. Murphy man of national re-
ers, attended by doctors, die in childbirth This
declaration was quoted in the Chicago Tribune
and other papers at the time.

A "WORTH Will E" INNOVATION
Continued from last week)
&C. B. w

Less than two weeks remain now until our
Grocery Department will start its new plan, which
practically everyone in town is discussing.
We believe that all are agreed that the Cash
and Carry" proposition will work out for the good
of all-that it cannot possibly put any hardships
on anyone, but rather that it will encourage thrift
economy and careful buying.
AS stated previously, all goods will be sold on
a narrower margin than ever before It is Our
sincere intention to demonstrate to Our customers
that all groceries bought of us cannot be dupli-
Gated elsewhere at a lower price, quality con-
sidered.
Our main plea tor your patronage is based
primarily on EQUALITY" Every person prefers
to have the very best, the choicest, purest food
stuffs, knowing that Purity" has been the watch
word of Zion from the beginning Our large
outlet enables us to buy goods at close prices
we in turn are determined to give Our customers
the benefit of all savings thus effected Soon we
will present to you complete list of our Ere
vised Prices" which will unquestionably meet
with your approval.
Now with reference to delivery charges, after
due and deliberate consideration, we have con-
cluded to put into effect the following schedule
Delivery
charge
Goods selling at from 1c to $1OO :. .1Oc
NOOuS SelllIlS dl IIOIIl plOl 10 pl.OU. -. loC
Goods selling at from $1.51 to $500. loo
Goods selling at from SOL to $500. .1oc
Goods selling at from $3.O1 to $500. .22c
On all Grocery orders amounting to more than
$500 the charge will be 22c plus Sc for every
dollar or fraction thereof over $500.
It is plainly noticeable from the schedule here
with submitted that all small orders are discour-
aged. The idea plainly standing out encourages
the housewife to Systematically plan for the week
or longer, placing one good sized order whenever
possible, and by SO doing reducing the delivery
cost. But the larger benefit will accrue to the
man or the woman who can carry his or her
groceries home whenever convenient.
Let us impress upon you this one fact, which
is very important: that, in spite of the delivery
charges under this new plan the customers will
benefit considerably, since our prices will be low
enough to more than offset the delivery charge
and give to them handsome saving on all goods
where the goods purchased amount to $1.0O or
more.
Permit us to assure you that it is our aim and
object to safeguard the interests of our patrons
and to make such unquestionab1y low prices on
all our groceries that one and all can readily
recognize the saving thereby effected.
And, remember, the delivery will have strict
instructions to leave no groceries at any house.
unless paid for in full at time of delivery!

 No one sees an opportunity of in- turing anyone in the enactment of such a law, unless it be the organized gangs of motor thieves. Police departm ments in all large cities would welcome such a law. It would be folly to quote the amount of money that is involved yearly in car thievery; that it would extend yearly into eight figures and possibly nine is conjecture. Close to a million dollars If not an excess of that sum is spent yearly in tracing stolen motor cars; a large number of men are engaged in this business who could be doing something more profit able for their community
 Motor car stealing has increased in- surance rates and there is every indi- cation that unless something is done the insurance companies will be forced to still further advance theft pre- miums

R. [. FULTON TALKS ON ACTUAL ECONOMY
To Lower Cost of Living Cut Transportation
 Costs

Transportation is the biggest item in mon knowledge that in many instances the cost of transportation exceeds the entire cost of production, including both labor and materials. The fight for lower cost of living must be centered on trans portation costs" says R. E. Fulton, vice president of the International Motor com pany, manufacturer of Mack trucks
 At the present time there are three principal means of freight transporta- tion; railways, waterways and motor trucks. Of the three the motor truc8 most intimately serves the interests of the public. To get the maximum bene- fit possible from the motor truck, roads should be so constructed as to be able to bear the traffic of the most economical units. The size of the unit should be determined by the amount that can be economically and efficiently handled in any individual case. In some cases a 2 ton truck is more economical because g. ton loads are the largest loads hauled, In other cases, the loads are 314 51h or possibly 714 tons. It all depends upon the volume of material to be handled.
 Where a 711-ton truck can be used, it is 15 per cent to 20 per cent cheaper per ton mile to operate than a 515-ton truck. It costs no more for a driver for a 71s- ton truck than for 51-ton truck. The difference in the amount of fuel con sumed and the cost of tires is not in pro- portion to the greater efficiency of the larger unit. One driver with a Ta-ton truck can handle as much freight as seven. drivers with 1-ton trucks. The cost of maintaining the 715-ton truck is mo- where near what 1t costs to maintain seven 1-ton trucks. Big units find their chief use in large commercial and in- dustria1 centers and on main arteries or traffic between these centers. It is on these streets and highways that millions of tons of supplies are hauled for use by people in cities and towns in all parts of the country. To lower the cost of this transportation is to lower the cost ot products to consumers.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-07-06

Cyril Arthur Player, editorial writet cn the Detriot News, formerly editor of the Seattle Post Intelligencer pro- poses a Federal law that would pro- tect the motor car or truck owners from this colossal evil against so- clety y-mctor car thievery. He suggests a federal status which would com pei the registration of motor ve- hicles, passenger cars and trucks with the fedaral marshal, attorney or other official who deals in the enforcement of federal laws. MT Player would have the manufacturer cast numbers on his various units. It would be an off, l fense under federal law to steal car 1 or truck; to try and efface or dis l guise such numbers; no cars could be 1 sold without it was accompanied by ] federal certificate of registration, ! which would be in effect the registra- l tion of bill of sale with the federal government.
 Something must be done to halt or stop the theft of motor cars. It is costing millions of dollars and a large ! number of men to trace stolen motor | vehicles. It increases the first cost
 and increases the yearly maintenance 1 cost of motor cars. Insurance pre- i miums have been placed at excessive | figures pecduSe OI ouNn StCdlihe, oAA l the future indicates that unless some protective measure with teeth in it 1 appears they will still further increase. Motor car thieves are occupying too
 much time and causing too much wor- | ry for police departments. It is teach l ing crime, because it has been an easy
 matter to steal and dispose of a motor 1 car with punishment prospects light l.even in extreme cases.
 l Steps are under way in Detroit to l have the Detroit Automobile club and ] the Detroit Automobile Dealers as l sociation get back of movement for such a federal law. Both organiza- I lions will discuss it at their next meet ;; ings. A, L. Zeckendorf, Cole and l Chandler dearer and president of the I Dealers ganization and G. Edward Bleil Republic truck manager, a di-
 rector of the Automobile club are both
 strong for the enactment of such leg
 iSlation.
 Over 5000 letters are leaving De-
 troit addressed to the automobile
 dealers throughout the country urg-
 ing that they exert their influence for
 the enactment of such federal legisla-
 tion. They are urged to take it ur
 with their local Dealers organizations
 with the National Automobile Dealers
 association and their congressman.

 The American Chamber of Commerce
 in London understands that the com mittees recommendations are of a moderate character. being chiefly that the Board of Trade should establish tribunals for Investigating the opera tions of nonopolies, combines and trusts. recommendations then to be made to the government for action to remedy any abuse.
 All members of the committee are believed to have signed the report, but it is understood that three of the com mittee members have submitted an ad- dendum expressing the view that the business world is no longer governed by free competition, but that capital ist combination influences the price of practically every commodity sold to the public.
 They recommend, therefore that the Board of Trade should establish a trusts and combinations department to draw up a programme to protect the community against the evils of mo- nopolies and to secure for the public ! larger share of the economic bene- fits which may result from the bet ter organization of industry.
