FARMERS RETURNING.

World, Dec. 8: George Siverly of
Lake Wenatchee feels optimistic
about the future settlement of Wen
atchee Park Regarding it he says
"The farmers are coming back and
working the land now. in the effort to
Pay for it. Up to the latter part of
this summer, they could not oet iron
"lad deeds to their holdings, for
which reason some of them abandon
ed their places. This they did aftor
clearing the land and making i'm
provements. These who stayed. har-
vested good crops of hay, vegetables
and berries"
Speaking about the trapping in the
Lake Wenatchee region, Mr.. Siverly
said: "There will be very little tran
ping in the region about the lake this
winter. There are malten. lynx and
mink in the mountainous territory
tributary to the lake However. the
prices that furs bring or the market
arc so low that few will go after
them. Last year marten ran as high
es $50 to $50 a pelt Ttis wear they
run about SS. Other furs are pro-
p0rtionatelV low"

STORES FILLED
WITH GOODS FOR
HOLIDAY TRADE
STAPLE AND FANCY GOODS OF
ALL KINDS IN GREAT GUAM.
Titles RIGHT HERE AT HOME
FOR ALL.

Leavenworth is probably now bet
ter off in the way of merchandise
stocks right here at home than it has
ever been in its history. Dry goods
are displayed in three stores in great
variety and there are three as nice
grocery stocks as are to be found
anywhere, and there are also three
stores where hardware can be had,
two large general stocks and one of
special lines. And two good clothing
stores with partial stocks in three
others. We have two good drug
stores carrying besides their drug
lines the various druggists sundries,
stationery, books and vast number
of other lines. Then we have two
splendid meat markets with lines not
to be surpassed outside the great
cities, and two fine confectionery
stores, four restaurants, splendid
bakery. besides the various other mer-
chandising institutions such as pool
rooms, garages, smiths, etc.
All these indicate that there is no
use in anyone going out of town for
the ordinary lines. And as for prices,
we have heard it stated many times
by people who have priced goods else
where, that they can do better right
here at home, and in fact there have
been instances recently of people
coming here from other cities to take
advantage of the lower prices.
Also splendid jewelry store and
a millinery and ladies' furnishings
store.
And now, neighbors and country
men, do you not feel better when you
have bought a bill of goods here at
home than you do when you have
gone away and gotten them? When
YOU have traded at home you have
helped to build up home institutions,
pay home taxes to make better
schools and churches, and to make
Leavenworth better community to
live in.
Let us not forget that a dollar
spent at home may return to us. One
spent elsewhere stands little show of
ever getting back into our pockets.
And as for banks, we have two
good ones whose usefulness to US are
influenced by the home-spent money.
Money sent away does not return
here to be deposited. Loans are
made from home deposits, largely.
and we all need the assistance of the
banks at times.
Let's trade at home.

FARM BUREAU
ORGANIZED HERE
ON MONDAY
GOOD ATTENDANCE, AND MUCH
INTEREST BEING AROUSED
THROUGHOUT COMMUNITY IN
THIS WORK.

Last Monday afternoon at the City
Hall in this city, the farmers met in
force and organized farm bureau.
The following leaders were elected:
Rodent Control-H. E. Newell.
Soil. C. Mitchell.
Pruning. H. Hess.
Thinning-F. A. Pendergrast.
Spraying-A. L. Hoffman.
Poultry-F. E. Van Brocklin.
Dairy and Stock-M. o. Van Brock
lin.
Farm Crops-Roots and Vegetables.
H. Stole; Grains and Grasses. A. T..
Frank
The farmers in this vicinity are
very enthusiastic and are pushing
through several solicitors to secure a
unanimous membership. The farm
bureau work is both entertaining and
instructive, so the committee feels
that no one should hold aloof from Sc
curing membership in this organiza-
ton. "The more the merrier." When
the several solicitors make their re-
turns on membership, meeting will
be called and an evenings entertain
ment will be enjoyed by the members.
This, together with discussions on the
coming years farm work and laying
plans for good year for the profess
sion in 1921, will make the meeting
valuable to everyone whose interests
lay in the different branches of agr-
culture. Leavenworth farmers, al
though some of whom are the "salt
of the earth" have in the past failed
to receive their share of the good
things that are provided by the coun-
ty, state and nation. The reason has
been there was no organization of
farmers in this community. conse-
quently it was impossible for the ex-
perts and teachers that are provided
by the state and county to spend
their time with one or two individ-
uals and at great expense do only a
small amount of the good that could
be done if they were to meet with
and be assisted by a good thorough
working organization.

MAY SUPPLY FARMERS WITH
MARKET NEWS BY WIRELESS

Arrangements for trying out the
wireless as means of sending out
agricultural-market news to the far
mers of the country are being made
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. The trial service will
be offered to half dozen or more
counties adjacent to the district of
Columbia. going out probably from
the wireless station of the Federal
Bureau of Standards to numerous
private licensed operators who would
aid in distributing the reports to far
mers in the territory covered.
Should the experiment prove prac-
ticable the service will be extended to
other parts of the country. Although
no system of dividing the country and
of operation has been determined up
on as yet, the plan favored at the
present time calls for the use of II
wireless stations throughout the
country. There would be ten $50
mile radius stations, eight in the East
where market centers are more nu-
nerous and closer together, and two
IN the far West; two 300-mile radius
stations to reach the outlying points
Of Maine and New York, to be located
IN the northeastern part of the coun-
try and five 5O0-mile radius stations
west of the Mississippi river.
Each of the distributing radio sta
tons would be connected with the
Washington office and with the other
distributing stations by leased tele-
graph wires. and twice dav would
receive for immediate release by wire
less a summarized report of market
conditions and quotations at principal
market centers and shipping points
Detailed report of market conditions
il the immediate territory served
would also be released. issued by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.

To Improve Attendance.

Punctuality and regularity in at
tendance have not been as good in the
school as they should be, and an at
tempt will be made to better the rec
ord in this respect by offering a free
matinee with the motion picture ma
chine on the school Tuesday after
noon following the close of the school
month. Each room which has 80 or
better in per cent of attendance and
not over three cases of hardness for
the month will be admitted to the
matinee which will be free. Parents
are invited to spend one hour, or
more, during the month in class
room visitation and then attend the
matinee which will be free to them

New Song Books.

Last week each high school student
was provided with copy of McClus-
keys Favorite Songs and Hymns
This is one of the books on the state
reading circle list. Probably no bet
ter book is to be found on the market
for secondary school singing. Surely
the students will make the most OF
their opportunity to improve them
selves in this most important respect
A wide range of acquaintance with
the standard school songs Of the coun-
try is an excellent thing.
