TRIAL OF The KAISER

Periodically some story is sprung
to the effect that the Kaiser is to be
tried, or that he is not to face his
accusers, or that Holland will not
surrender him to thesAllies.
Then the story goes out that the
ex-war lord will not submit to the
indignity of a trial, and recently we
were RECALLED with gossip to the eff
feet that the imperial has-been is en-
gagged in preparing his defense.
In reality, the old man is becoming
about as big nuisance to the read
ing public as the peace treaty and the
League of Nations.

BEN FRANKLIN

This month marks the 241st ami
versary of the birth of Benjamin
Franklin And this is a good time to
renew the acquaintance with old
Ben, who was greater even as moral
philosopher than as statesman.
In a period of extravaganza and
spiritual restlessness, Ben Franklin's
voice has the welcome and helpful
sound of good parents voice to a
troubled child.
When he was still young man.
Franklin wrote a set of principles
whereby to discipline his life. And
he kept books on himself, giving him.
self black mark whenever he failed
to live up to one of his own rules. He
aimed to have clean page every day.
Franklin's personal principles as
set forth in his autobiography were :
Northumberland to perform
what you ought; perform without fail
what you resolve.
Frugality-Make no expense, but
to do good to- others or yourself.

Waste nothing.

waste nothing.
Industry-Lose no time; be always
employed in something useful; cut of
all unnecessary actions.
Sincerity-Use no hurtful deceit I;
think innocently and justly and, if
you speak, speak accordingly.
Justice-Wrong none by doing in
juries or emitting the benefits that
are your duty.
Moderation - Forebear resenting
injuries as much as you think they
deserve; avoid extremes.
Tranquihty-Be not disturbed at
trifles, or at accidents common or
unavoidable.
Humility-Imitate Jesus and Soc
rates.
These make pretty good basic prin-
ciples for the reconstruction of which
so much is said and so little done.
There can be solid national recon-
struction only on strong foundation
of individual self discipline and re-
sponsibility.-Exchange.
If Franklin were alive today he
would be strong advocate for the
Treasury Savings Certificates, War
Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps.
He would continue to be actuated by
Thrift and Patriotism.

The movement for better pay for

COMMUNICATED,

Mr. Editor:-l notice in last weeks
issue of the Gazette some comments
from you on the apple outlook for the
coming season. Now honestly didn't
you eat some soggy biscuits before
writing that you think apple producers
will not get the prices they did last
season and that no buyers will be in
the field. Now, l have always taken
you to be an optimist and think you
are yet, but just happened to miss a
cog for this one time. Now, there is
no reason that | can see why apples
should go down unless all other pro-
duce and merchandise go down also
Fruit men are getting no better prices
than other lines of producers are get
ting for their out put-and the people
are going to buy apples-they have
found they save paying doctor bills
| make practice of eating one before
each meal and eat three square meals
day and am past three score years,
working hard enough for an oltl~man;
and never felt better in my, life. Now
as to the coming seasons prices | have
already been offered the same price
per box | got last fall and another To-
cal buyer tells me he has ten thousand
dollars back of him to buy with this
season in Oroville, and don't you for
get it there are more to follow. Thank
ing you for this space in your much
appreciated paper, l am an apple pro-
ducer.

OROVILLE.OKANOGAN.

One of the visiting high school boys
from Okanogan who was present at
the basket ball game in Oroville last
Friday evening when the visitors took
Oroville into camp by a score of 16 to
10, and had to do some hard work to
win by even that margin, gave the In
dependent the following account Of the
game after his return home:
"Oroville and Okanogan high school
basket ball teams played an exciting
game at Oroville Saturday night. The
game was not called until about D
o'clock, but when it did start 1t was
well worth seeing. When the whistle
blew every player was on his feet
ready for action. The teams were pret-
ty evenly matched. Neither team did
any basket shooting till Jackson of
Oroville made a long field basket from
the center of the hall. This seemed to
put more pep into the OrOville boys.
The forwards on both teams were we'll
guarded. Towards the last part Of the
first twenty minutes Oroville began to
do considerable fouling and Baines
showed his skilled foul shooting ability
by shooting seven fouls and missing
only two. OkanOgan fouled several
times but didn't have as good luck. The
first half ended with Oroville in the
lead.
In the second half Hazelett was In
Beal's place. After a ten minute rest
the game proceeded with as much pep
as ever. Schrock at once credited him.
self with long field basket. Hazlett
got excited and made a couple of bas-
kets. On the Oroville team Jones made
two more baskets from the center of
the hall. Killian dropped one in and
each one made foul. The last ten
minutes no baskets were made except
fouls. The score ended with Or0ville
10 and Okanogan 16.
After the game the Okanogan boys
enjoyed one of the best times they ever
had. A school dance was given and re-
freshments were served, Of which We
had plenty. Oroville could not have
shown the Okanogan boys a better
time"

TIE UP WITH TWO TEAMS.

AS the Gazette predicted last week
the local gun club moved up a notch
on the score Sunday, but not high
enough to win against either OF the
contesting teams. Sunday showed a
better score among all the teams en-
tered in the tournament than at any
previous shoot. which is an indication
that with practice all the gun men are
doing better work at the traps, and be-
fore the contest is over in all prObabil.
ity it will require clean scores to win,
and clean scores will often only result.

tage of having defeated four teams
while Oroville has two wins to it's cred
it. Next Sunday the score not only
counts In the Odessa-Walla Walla tie
but it will be also against Waitsburg,
and Waitsburg is not getting into the
habit of missing many targets. This
will be the most important shoot that
the local club will be mixed up in dur
ing the turnament because three con-
tests will be decided by the shoot, un-
less, however, there should be another
tie. To win the home boys must make
a clean score, and the only way a clean
score can be made is for every member
of the crew to turn out and do his best.
With the large number of members
and the way some of them are coming
to the front there should be little
trouble to find three each week who
can smash 25 straight, and we are 60
ing to guess again that Is will be the
score Sunday.
In the last shoot Hedger at last
struck his stride with a clean string.
Beverly Powell is developing into a
crack shot, as he shattered 25, while
Gjerde has improved his former record
with "a and w. B. Sexson is holding
his own as one of the high guns of the
club. The full score last Sunday was

Owing to shortage of snow in the

the dangerous curtailment Of the sup
ply of water next year on the govern

members of the club and farmers from
this locality Much interest was manifest

dial relations were established bet we el The
town and country people. The Commercial
Club convinced the guests that their ac-

by desire to aid the farmer at time
and under circumstances where the far
mer needed encouragement and assist
ance. and that the organization was
ready and willing to extend all the aid in
Its power to provide ways and means by
which farmers can secure seed. The ac-

present and as a result of the meeting
plans will be carried out by which thos ,
who may wish to secure seed wheat and
potatoes will be able to do so. A lun-
cheOn was served the visitors at noon,
which was not the least enjoyable feat
