Fuel Co., Ltd of New Orleans La, has plan ito stop
profteerng automatically" He would limit rigidly the
percentage that corporation might earn upon
the bonafde amount of investment in the business"
On paper it sounds we'll In reality it is not mere

What the country needs what pushes the country
ahead is exceptional RESULTS obtained by exceptional
ABILITY.
If you limit profit you limit effort If you limit effort

ed interested in me. but am backward about
making any advances, because l do not know
whether girls for boy who is afflicted

personality and make many friends but never
intimate ones
Now, Miss Fairfax. | am not writing for SYM
patty, but to find out whokAcr you think a girl
dould learn to for one who Is afflicted,
well as a man with two strong legs.
F. I. v.
Indeed, girls can and do learn to care for men
with your physical defect. Ask some OF the
boys who returned from overseas to find their
sweethearts waiting for them and to take them
with one leg arm, with one eye, any
other defect Some of the hsppiest marriages
are OF this very kind, and are not based upon
pity or sympathy, but upon true love.
A man may have two strong legs or arms
and have a warped and twisted mind which is a
thousand times worse than being a trifle lame
Cease to worry about your affliction try to over
come your sef-con sciousness. learn to make the
advances other men do. and you'll win out.

number OF injuries causing loss of time beyond

POPULATION NOW 2O9O6.

The population of Chelan county
has increased since 1910 from 15,104
to 20,906, or 3S.4%o, according to a re-
cent dispatch This is a healthy
growth, but there is still room fol
thousands and thousands of industri-
Gus people in this county-one of the
best counties in the whole North
west.
Chelan county is destined, we ara
convinced. to have a great future
and its present population is only a
bagatelle to what it will be in halt
century hence. With its mild and
equable climate, its splendid seen
cry and great resources it is bound
to draw great numbers of people
and with a birthrate greatly in ex-
cess of the deathrate the population
will more than double within a
couple decades.

MILL BOYS WON.

The game of ball Sunday between
the Railroad and Mill boys was won
by the latter; score II to 4.
The game was not as good as had
been expected. Parhaps the very
hot weather and great number of
mosquitoes had something to do with
it,
Other games are expected to follow
as the railroad boys do not consider
that the outcome shows the real rela-
tive merit of the two aggregations,
and in succeeding games there will be
fighting from the drop of the hat.
The Mill boys are considerably
olated over the result of the first
game and expect to make the oppo-
sition go some to win at any time.
These games are fine sport and we
hope that we may have many of them
during the balance of the season. Go
TO it, fellows.
