FOOTBALL THANKSGIVING.

The big Snohomish football team
came here Thanksgiving morning and
at 1O:30 they played the Leavenworth
team, both high school teams The
Snohomish team is composed mostly
of seniors and they must average
in the neighborhood of fifteen pounds
heavier than our boys
Playing was delayed and did not
start until about II o'clock. The
Snohomish boys at once demonstrated
their ability to score by making a
touch down and kicking goal within a
few minutes. This was followed by
another touchdown later in the first
quarter, but the attempt to kick goal
failed. In the second quarter they
again made a touchdown, failing to
kick goal. In the last quarter they
were held down and did not score
Score for the game; Snohomish 26
Leavenworth 0.
But indeed the home boys did well
to hold the other team down n the
score made. as the visitors were said
to have lost only one game this sea
son, indicating that they are much
above the average high school team
in weight and training.
Our team showed up especially
good in the last Quarter. when thev
bucked the line of the visitors and
made good gains. though they were
unable to get any place near scoring

PREACHER WANTS DIVORCE:
SAYS WIFE LIKED CARDS
Derifield Also Charges Spouse with
Going to Carnival.

The Sunday Post lntelligencer has
the following news item regarding a
former Wenatchee young man:
Charging that he was driven from
the ministry by the scandalous con-
duct of his wife, Rev. Arnold b. Deri-
field. former pastor of the First
Christian Church of Prosser, Benton
County. filed suit for divorce in su-
perior court here Saturday afternoon.
The complaint accuses the wife.
Pauline S. Derifeld, of maintaining
poker games while her husband was
out of town; Of kissing male members
of his congregation and of otherwise
shocking the community's notions Of
the decorum expected of a pastors
wife.
Mr. and Mrs. Derifeld were mar

1916. There is one child, Arnold B.
Jr., three years old, who at present.
according to the complaint is with
his mother at Opportunity.
Derifeld alleges that he first be-
came suspicious of his wife in June.
1920, when he learned that during his
absence from town Mrs. Derifeld had
telephoned a man named Virgil Vim
and proposed that they attend a
street carnival show.
On another occasion, in the pres
ence of woman--a neighbor solici-
tously watching-the defendant. the
complaint charges, kissed William |.
Loucks, who had been associated with
Derifield in business deals. Card
games with strange men also occur
red at the Derified home, the minis
ter asserts he was informed by faith
ful gossips.
Owing to the alleged conduct of his
wife the complaint contends. the
plaintiff was forced to resign his pas
torate and "get away from the town
in which his name had been dis
graced." He came to Seattle and
took a salaried office position.
There was community property.
Derifield also says. but the alleged
extravaganza of Mrs. Derifeld dis
sipated most of it.
Besides a decree of divorce, Deri-
field asks that the court restore his
wife's maiden name.

BEWA ARE OF STOCK SHARKS.

The get-rich-quick promotions of
the last two or three crazy years are
coming home to roost. now that mons
ey is tight and the price of commo-
dities are dropping.
1t is stated in the Agricultural De
partment at Washington that new oil
companies, either hopeful or wildcat.
sold billion dollars worth Of stock
to the farmers of one rich western
state in two years. These farmers
are now learning that most Of this
money was absolutely thrown away.
In Iowa. two faShily advertised
packing house companies were start
ed and most of the shares were sold
to farmers of the state by statesmen
who received commissions Of 25 cents
on every dollar they made the farmer
produce One of these concerns built
plant and failed in four months. The
other didn't get that far; neverthe-
less. the million and a half the farm
ers paid in is mostly missing. The
courts are now full of lawsuits start
ed by indignant stock purchasers.
Recently a western farmer who in
ed a first-class farm worth $4,000.
went into court and asked that a
guardian be appointed for himself Il
appears that the stock boomers had
gotten him to sign up for stock in
various shady oil companies TO the
tune of S175.000. The guardian re-
rudiated the notes and farmer will
not lose his farm.
James A. Davis of the Chicago As
sociation of Commerce says: at is
safe to estimate that at this very mo-
ment there are MORE THAN ONE
BILLION DOLLARS WORTH Of
wildcat investments being offered TO
the people of this country"
Don't buy. Beware Of the sharp

PASS THE BUDGET BILL
IN DECEMBER

The emergency feet corporation
spent S3000,000,00O without an ac-
counting system, the aircraft board
spent more than 81 900 100000 in the
same loose manner, and congress
threw about S35,000,0 100000 into the
war without a budget system.
Of course federal taxes are exces-
siVe, burdensome and to many people
ruinous.
This alarming situation has moved
the Institute for Public Service, Jul
ius H. Barnes, chairman, to appeal to
congress to save two or even three
years for the national budget reform
which both parties have pledged. by
passing budget bill in December in
stead of waiting for the new congress
to convene.
Both houses of the present CON
gress, without party division. have
already passed a budget bill-the
house in October, 1919, and the SEN
ate in April, 1920, but it was vetoed
by President Wilson on the ground
that it violated article 2, section 2. of
the Constitution, by taking out of
his hands the removal of certain of
fcials. The record is thus stated by
Chairman Barnes:
Attempt to pass the bill over
the presidents veto failed in the
house. Some members insisted
that the vetoed bill was not un-
constitutional. Others insisted
that it was unconstitutional
They stopped debating it because
they wanted immediate action
and believed that necessary
changes can easily be made as the
plan is tried. The house passed
the corrected bill the very next
day after it was returned. June
). The senate majority wanted
to pass it as corrected. but three
minority senators filibustered or
talked il out of its chance. The
public was 30 engrossed in CON
vention talk that these budget
Outcomes escaped general atten-
ton.
The correction made to meet
the presidents objection leaves
the appointment Of the comptrol-
Ter general with the president
upon the advice and consent Of
the senate. The term. instead Of
being five years, is during good
behavior" Removal Is left with
the president by cutting out the
original requirement that tho
comptroller might be removed by
congress if "inefficient guilty Of
neglect Of duty. malfeasance in
office or involving moral turpi-
tude and in no other way except
by impeachment" Thus. a bud
get bill agreeable 70 both houses
Of congress and the president is
ready for immediate passage by
the reconvening Of congress next
month.
Il is thus seen that congress could
enact an agreed upon budget bill. in
very few hours. r. however. this
important matter should be allowed
N 90 over to the converting Of the
reXt congress. Il would have 10 be
taken up alb initio in both houses. re
ferred 70 committees anew. and be

tute Of Public Service is entirely
right, and its recommendation should
be supported by all organizations
and citizens interested in this big
and essential reform.-Spokesman-

DIRECTORS WAIT
BEFORE LOCATING PLANT

No action has yet been taken by
the Whatcom County Dairymen's AS
sociation regarding the location o.
the utility plant. Plans are being
made to hurry the project so thai
the work of making powdered milh
will start in the spring.
What the prospects in this field
are is summed up by ]. A. Scollard
head of the United Association.
Everything indicates an increas
ing demand for milk powder, partic.
ularly skinned powder" said Mr.
Scollard in a recent talk. 1.-The sup.
ply at this time is not equal to the
demand and the future outlook is
particularly bright. The present price
of skinned powder is 23 to "a cents
in car lots at Chicago. A little over
eight pounds of skinned powder is
the average secured from 100 pounds
of skinned milk at the plants we
visited. A new process for the dry
ing of whole milk without the use
of cOndensing pan was closely in
vestigated. Experiments with a small
volume seemed to indicate success.
A plant with a capacity of 10000
pounds per day will be in operation
December Goth under this process.
This latter plant was to have been
in operation November GOTH but de-
lay in the arrival of materials post
poned it's opening much to the dis
appointment of the commission"
Mr.. Scollard reports very active
work among the producers Organiza-
tions in every section visited, these
efforts being attended by benefits in
price. etc 1.-THE Middle West milk
producers are rapidly pushing their
organization in Nebraska, Omaha be-
ing their headquarters. The Twin

with a membership of 10000 dairy
men are handling the Chicago supply
and practically all the milk in dis
trict covering a radius of 100 miles

The October price in Illinois and Wis
consin was $3.50 for 3.5 milk; the
December price was expected to be
around $375. We are only lap be-
hind them in our organization sout

intricate and dazzling team work.
A preliminary game. which will be-
gin at 1890, is being arranged. Cen
eral admission will be 15c and 25c
as usual. Reserved seats at Csc and
35c are now on sale at Knapp's Furn-
