he was still in the kitchen when the
three went down the street so the di-
rection in which he made his escape
is not known. 3
The boys seemed much pleased over
the excitement they had caused and
took delight in telling of incidents
that happened enroute, but insist that
the idea of remaining away never en-
tered their heads, notwithstanding the
fact that the authorities believe their
return was due to the process of rea-
soning whereby they figured they
would eventually be caught.
In conclusion, it is needless to say,
that a shake-up has occurred in Jail
methods. Beginning Friday prisoners
are now confined to their individual
cells during the night hours, which
practically eliminates any chance Of
escape,

LIGHTNING STRIKES TWO
VILLAGE PROPERTIES

Lightning, which accompanied the
hard storm Monday night, struck two
residences in Medina village, although
the damage done in either case was
slight.
The chimney of Mrs. Caddie Glenn
ent's house on N. Elmwood street, was
hit and d few bricks and some slate
roofing knocked loose. The occupants
were also badly frightened.
At the W.. H. Barnett home on the
Homestead allotment, lightning struck
a tree nearby and ieaped from the
tree to the metal spouting, using the
latter as means Of reaching the
ground. The Barnetts witnessed the
flash and declared that a ball Of
fire could be plainly seen from the
time the tree was struck until the
ball reached the ground.

GETS 5000 INCREASE

Official notice was received last
week from the postmaster generals
Office at Washington, authorizing a
5000 increase in the salary of As
sistant postmaster Davenport Of Me-
dina.
An increase of $100 was given all
clerks and carriers Of the local Of
flee who have served year or more
on July 1st. This increase was made
under new law which automatically
provides postoffice employees with an
increase Of $10O year until the
$500 limit is reached.
The law, however, makes no provi-
sion for an increase in the postmas-
ter's or assistant postmaster's salary,
hence the special order.

MINUTE WOMEN
TO REORCAN|zE

A meeting Of anti-tuberculosis
workers was held at the courthouse
last Saturday afternoon to meet Mrs.
Frank Reeves of Wenatchee, chairman
Of the work in the northeast district
of the state. Plans were given
workers for campaign of education
in anti-tuberculosis work, and the
Christmas Seal campaign was out
lined.
Each year the anti-tuberculosis
leagues of the nation hold a Christ
mas seal sale in December. This
year the sale is from Dec. l to 10.
Supt. G. L. Putnam Of Colville is
county chairman Of this campaign.
The seals are two-colored stickers
the size of postage stamp, and
sell for 1c each. Much Of the funds
of the state and county must come
from this source. The states travel
ing tuberculosis exhibit and clinic is
made possible by the sale Of Christ
mas seals.
Washington, in keeping with every
state in the union, is being organized
by districts for the purpose of carry
ing on the great fight now being
waged against tuberculosis by local,
state and national organizations. The
Washington tuberculosis Association,
as unit of the national association,
in assuming its share of the work,
has apportioned eight districts, di-
vided according to geographical
boundaries and areas of population,
to carry on the work. Each district
has district manager, who will SUI
pervise the work of counties, both
county chairmen and district man.
ayers having been chosen from men,
bers of the county anti-tuberculosis
leagues and members of the Minute
Women Of Washington. In counties
where no tuberculosis organizations
exist the Minute Women in many in
stances assume full charge of the
work
Today the Minute Women of Ste
vens county will assemble at Che
welah for the purpose of being re-
organized to take up tuberculosis
work. At meeting of the Minute
Women held in Seattle, it was de-
cded to form a permanent organiza-
tion of those 5000 women who serv-
ed as Minute Women during the war.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
no county should fail to preserve its
organization. All other war workers
who can furnish satisfactory record
of service are to be admitted as
associate members.
The meeting Of Minute Women of
Stevens county, to be held today,
will be opened by Mrs. l.. c. Jesseph,
county chairman, now living in Spo-
kane, and the permanent organiza-
ton of this county's workers will be
effected. The Christmas Seal cam
paign of the Anti-Tuberculosis
League, having been indorsed by the
state organization, will be the first
work of the county organization.

TT is not the easiest thing in the world
for veil makers and veil designers to
give us every year something that is
novel in wells, for the we'll dressed
woman is usually conservative in this
matter and yet she wants novelty. She
refuses to wear anything that will be
striking or too spectacular in wells and
yet she refuses to wear always exactly
the same sort of veil. SO the designer
must invent new and interesting differ
cnces in mesh and weave of the veil,
so that the careful observer would al
ways know new veil from one of last
seasons making. New colors he can
not rely on for novelty, for the we'll
dressed woman will not wear striking
colors. She clings to blacks and taupes,
dark blue or perhaps purple.
Meantime there are freak wells. There
are wells that are made with two little

it is that / draw courage to write of
quart jars for preserving. I do know
that one never has enough. These quart
jars, which are priced at ten cents each
have alright tops, keeping your toma-

Ten of these, for instance, costing but

they could be used from year to year.

Heart Broken-Why are you heart
broken? Surely if this young man goes
TO see you and takes you out frequently
and dances often with you at parties
you have nothing to complain of. The
fact that he has not shown affection
points out that he is gentleman. He
is showing YOU every attention a man
should show girl if he likes her. He
may grow to love her. but you must
give him time. BE courteous and in
torHSted in him and stop worrying about
the show of affection. Acts of afrec-

and woman unless they are engaged. If

some day soon and then if YOU love him
You can show him affection as he will

WHY THIS GIRLS HUSBAND
WILL HAVE TO BE PATIENT
She Is ErraDagan but You Can't Marry Pretty Pampered
Belle and Expect AHce-Sh-bythe,Fre, Too

TNHE young wife this young husband
l. writes Of is driving him mad with
her extravaganza. "She is beautiful"
he explains, "all that could be desired
in the way of looks and style, but when
1t comes to common sense about buying
clothes she hasn't any at ALL Coming
from a family where there was always
plenty of money, she seems to have no
sense Of the value of It and spends it
like water. She knows little about
cooking and therefore wastes in that
way, too. Before we were married, be-
licving it would be hard for her to do
without many luxuries with me for the
first few years, I explained how things
would be and she seemed perfectly
willing to live In the style my salary
could afford. But now we have only
been married six months and she is
spending my salary before / earn it.
L have talked and talked and it does
little good for a couple of weeks and
then she comes in with some more new
things. What, under the sun, can
man do in case like this? Please
advise a fellow whose wife keeps him
BROKE,
don't like to be mean and hold post =
mortems, Broke" but it might help
you to look at the matter with under
standing eyes and when you understand
your wife better, perhaps you will be
able to deal with the situation.
First let ME impress this firmly on
your mind. In a wife, like in life,
you can't have everything. Here you,
young man, pick out the best dressed
prettiest and most pampered girl in
the crowd and then you bring her to
the little nest and expect her to be
able to cook and keep house like some
plain little Alice sit by the fire girl,
who has been doing these things ever
since she was ten years old It's this
way, Broke: man marries girl
who is beautiful, smartly dressed and
incidentally pampcred because these
very things attracted him. Then he
gets irritated because of these very
qualities.

Well, he didn't stay away, but came
again and again and, we became real
pals. But Platonic friendship
couldn't last and l have promised to

about n girl who is too mean to give
n fellow kiss after knowing him for
two months. And, Dan B., am sure
Buck did not mean what he said about
people dancing with their mouths; al
thought declare it is a regular light

There are wells that are trimmed with
frills
Rather more than last year women
will wear wells. They will be worn
adjusted close to the face, although
let us hope that women avoid the ugly
line that is caused by fastening the
veil back so that 1t actually leaves a
mark against the skin Of the face.
At the left in the sketch is new
taupc colored veil that will appeal to
those women who have come to the
conclusion that taupe is most becoming
and therefore insist on having this color
of veil every season. In the center is
an octagon mesh veil, with leaf orna-
ment worked in silk and carefully ad-
justed on the cheek.
And at the right there is an all-over
pin dot of chenille. which is ingeniously
combined with a large mesh.
