SIG DILSHEIMER'S HOBBY
RIDING IN AN AEROPLANE

Tex and Dudley Rankin flew from
Colville to Spokane Oct. with Sig
Dilsheimer, leaving at 10 a. m. and
reaching the Fort Russell field at
1920 a. m. They encountered a
storm when near Spokane and rose
above the clouds to a height above
sea level of about 1000 feet. The
storm delayed the plane ten minutes
beyond schedule time.
This was Mr.. Disclaimers second
fight and when Mr.. Rankin returns
to Colville the last of November, Mr..
Dilsheimer expects to meet him in
Spokane and fly back to Colville with
him. Sig likes to fly and states that
he would probably purchase plane
for his own use if he had time to
learn to drive it. 1t takes six weeks
to learn enough about flying to OBJ
tain a license. He returned from
Spokane on the Great Northern and
said that it seemed like it took
week to make the trip from Spokane
to Colville.

Christmas Seal Sale
Each December the National Tu-
berculosis Association furnishes
Christmas Seals for sale to all per-
sons to use on their Christmas let
tiers, packages and greetings. The
seals are three-colored Autographed
emblems, like postage stamps, and
their use signifies that the sender is
willing to spend small sum each
year in working for the health of
humanity.
The seals sell at one cent each.
Of this sum the County League re-
ceives 60@6, the State Association
3O@o, and the National Association
1919. Thus practically every cent
spent for seals remains for the work
at home.
Purposes of County League
No county or state can gain any
result except by organized community
effort. The work of the members of
the county league is:
/. To discover and report all cases
to the county nurse, and give her
every needed assistance in her work.

NICOTINE FOR SPRAYING
NEW INDUSTRY FOR COUNTY

A new industry for Stevens county
and for the great northwest, is being
operated on a small scale by J. M.
Scroggs, who lives northeast of Col
vile. Mr.. Scroggs raises tobacco and
extracts the nicotine. for his orchard
spray. Nicotine for orchard spray
costs So pint. Mr.. Scroggs raises
the tobacco, cures it and extracts the
nicotine which he can sell for So a
gallon. One gallon of it will make a
barrel of spray. This represents a
saving of $22 on barrel of spray.
Nicotine is the best known spray
for aphis Of all varieties on apples.
It will also kill cabbage lice and
various other insects, without harming
the plants in any way. Mr.. Scroggs
plants seed leaf tobacco in the spring
about the time tomatoes are planted,
on black bench land, and it natures
before frost in the fall; however, the
tobacco plant is easily killed by frost,
and should not be planted in what is
known as the early frost belt. In
the fall before frost he gathers the
leaves and hangs them on a string
with the point Of the leaf hanging
down and leaves them to cure or dry
until spring or summer, whenever the
leaves turn brown. When cured he

tralia, Washington, in honor of the
four men who were killed there last
Armistice Day.
"The legion was honored by the
presence of many distinguished visi-
tors and delegates and many brilliant
speeches were heard during the ses-
sion. General Fayolle, the third
ranking general in France, came as
a representative from that country
and delivered an eloquent message IN
tribute to the American Legion. His
address was delivered in French and
interpreted in the English language
as each paragraph was read. Adj
miral Grant represented the British
Empire and read an address touching
upon American and British coopera-
ton in the war. Delegates were
present from Alaska, Hawaii, Cuba
and Panama Canal zone. Major-Gen-
eral Leonard Wood delivered a stir
ring address and was given an en-
thusiastic reception. The comman-
ders of the G. A. R., Confederate
veterans and the w. r. C. gave splen-
did speeches, and the latter present
ed the American Legion with a huge
silk flag to be used at American
Legion headquarters.
"The parade which was held upon
the opening day of the convention
was perhaps one of the greatest fea-
lures of the meeting. Nearly thirty
thousand men were lined up and the
parade lasted two hours. 1t was wit
messed by more than 100000 people
and the enthusiasm given to the men
as they marched through the streets
of Cleveland left no doubt of the
place held by the returned American
soldiers in the hearts of their friends.
The state of Washington was given
special place in the parade and
carried the flag which was fired upon
at Centralia on last Armistice Day.

WHY WE SHOULD WORRY
ABOUT OUR PROSPERITY

You, Mr.. Citizen, and all the rest
of 1O0,O0OOO0 Americans, owed $50
each to the foreigners before the war.
Today they owe each one of us 500.
We have only go of the worlds
people and 79a of it's lands, but we
produce 1870 of the worlds corn;
669s of it's oil; 500 of its cotton,
aluminium and copper; 52R of it's
coal; 500 of it's iron and steel, lead
and silver; $3.50 of its wheat; 20% of
it's gold, and so on down the line.
Our assets have advanced contin-
uously, while our liabilities have de-
creased. We are rated in the worlds
references at AA1 plus. Our taxable
worth today is $25O,000,0OO,O0O in
hard cash.
So let's have more good cheer,
more faithAbusiness is good, and
always will be, in America.

cooks them in a barrel which is heat
ed through pipe which runs to
nearby fire. He does not boil the
leaves but lets them simmer until the
Juice which is dark brown in color
reaches the consistency of cream. 1t
is then ready for the spray.
The plants grow about three feet
high and the top has to be cut out to
insure large leaves. Mr.. Scroggs
raised $50 plants this year and has
over 1000 pounds of green leaves.
This weight will probably be cut one
half when cured, and Mr.. Scroggs
states that he will have enough nico-
tine from the crop to spray his own
orchard and all the orchards in this
vicinity.
Having lived at one time in Ten
nessee, Missouri and Texas, Mr..
Scroggs was familiar with the grow
ing and curing of tobacco and began
raising it here to save the big expense
of spray for his orchard. In Texas
the nicotine is used for cattle and
sheep dip to kill the Texas tick and
Mr.. Scroggs states that anything
which will kill those ticks will kill
any insect.
The only difference between north
ern and southern grown tobacco, he
states, is that the northern grown
probably does not have as much
strength as it takes so much longer
to cure, not having the warm sun
shine during the curing season.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
TAKE ADVANCED. STEP

In conformity with its general
program and policy of expansion by
which it is proposed to carry the
principles of the order into new fields
of Pythian endeavor, the Knights of
Pythias, at the recent biennial con-
vention of its supreme lodge at Mimi
eapolis adopted an amendment to its
law reducing the minimum age limit
of membership in the order from 81
to 10 years.
Since the order was founded, men,
bership has been restricted to white
male persons not less than 81 years
of age and under so. But out of the
World War many lessons came of
nature calculated to change the old
order of things. The tremendous
struggle was participated in by the
best blood of the nations young
manhood of 10, 10 and 20 years of
age. The alacrity with which the
younger boys of the nation sprang
to arms at the call of country in de-
tense of it's honor and for the preser
walton of it's institutions affords in
conference.-the proof that one does
not necessarily have to be of legal
age in order to be of real service in
times of stress and need.
The Knights of Pythias in common
with other fraternal organizations are
not unmindful of the obligations the
duties of the hour impose. 1t pro-
poses to perform it's full share in the
great work of reconstruction and re-
Mobilization. And in this magnificent
endeavor it has invited boys and men
of Is years and over to enlist under
the tricolored banner of Pythian
Knighthood in the movement designed
to Danish discomfort and discord and
make the world brighter and happier.
