GOT OFF WRONG.

Our apology is due to the editor of
the Penticton Herald for putting him
in bad by stating that he attended a
ball game in Oroville at a recent date.
1t seems that the Penticton quill push
er has conscientious objections to Sun
day ball playing and was not present
on the occasion referred to. We con-
fess to having been on the ground and
contritely acknowledge that we made
no strenuous efforts to point out the
naughtiness of indulging in the sport
to those who were present. We
thought We glimpsed the Herald man
at a distance, but III eye sight is not
what 1t once vas and we evidently
picked out the wrong man. The sport
scribe Of the Herald thus explains
the situation in the last issue of that
paper: "The Oroville Gazette nearly
started a small revolution in The Her.
aid office this week when it announced
to the world that Fred McDugall, the
bright and genial publisher Of the
Penticton Herald, accompanied the
Penticton ball boys on Sunday a
couple of weeks ago, and returning
home he roasted the Oroville bunch to
a beautiful brown" While the sport

STATE HORTICULTURAL MEET.

Extensive arrangements are being
made for an exhautive program at the
summer meeting of the State Horti-
cultural Association which is to be
held in Wenatchee July IA to 16, both
days inclusive. There will be several
outside speakers. one being Professor
Fl. J.. Eustice of San Francisco, Cali
%fornia. who gave a most interesting
discussion at Spokane at the meeting
last winter. Another speaker will be
in attendance from Chicago. The time
will be devoted to discussions during
the forenoon, and in the afternoon
automobile excursions will be taken
through the different sections Of the
valley.
A ball game between Yakima and
Wenatchee will be played. n day at
Wenatchee and one day at Cashmere.
This should create considerable inter-
est and make a very entertaining
event.

DROWNING NEAR TONASKET.

Brief mention was made last weel
OF a sad case of drowning near Tomas
ket, and accepting the report as circu'
lated on the street, an error was made
in the name. The following particulars
of the accident are taken from the To.
nasket Times:
Monday morning while Mr.. Teals
and Oral Armand were moving a boa,
load Of furniture across from the Pot.
ter Ranch to Nissen's Island, in the
Okanogan river, the boat capsized.
Mr.. Teale was in the bow of the
boat pulling 1t across the stream b,
means of a wire stretched to the isl.
and. when suddenly the boat dipped
water and then turned over, throwine
both men into the water. Teale, who
could swim reached the shore in safety
but Arrand was struck by a barrel thai
had been in the boat and being unable
to swim, sank down out of sight. H.:
body was not seen again until drawn
up from the bottom of the river where
1t had become %entangled in some
brush and rocks.
On seeing the other man sink, Teale
went for help Immediately and a tele-
phone to town brought a number Of
men who combined their efforts with
those of a number of neighbors who
had gathered. Elmer Hart and Carson
Perry finally reached the body with a
graphing hook at 1890 Monday morn
ing. The body was taken to the J. 8.
Sargent home and Coroner Victor G.
Grove was summoned.
Oral Armand was born in Middlesex
county, Ontario, but left there with
his parents when but a baby of six
weeks, for Clare, Michigan, which was
his home until 1915 when he came to
Washington. In 1914 he married Alvena
Garshaw and to them two children
were born, the elder a boy of three
years and a girl of one year.
The Armand family came to Tomas
ket from Bridgeport in the spring of
1919. Mr.. Armand at the time of his
death was farming the southern part
OF the Potter ranch. Funeral services
were held at the J. F. Sargent home,
where the body was taken on its re-
covery from the water. Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock, Mr.. Sargent
officiating. Undertaken Barnes of Oro-
Vile having charge of the funeral. In
terment was made in the I. o. o. f.
cemetery.
Surviving the deceased besides his
wife and babies are his father, Rev.
Charles Armand, of Sareneck, Michigan.
who, with a younger brother Cecil.
were visiting here at the time of the
accident; his mother, another brother
and two sisters all at the family home
in Sareneck.
The widow and children will return
with Rev. Armand to Michigan where
they will make their home"

familiar with the principles of fruit

are made it will be possible to supply
the needed information to the settlers
and otherwise assist them.-Russel r.

years ago one could readily name ev-

Then there were in the neighborhood
OF a dozen and now the number
crowds 70 or 100. With the same pro-
portion of increase all over the coun-
try it can readily be seen why there is
a gas shortage, and especially as new
producing wells have not increased at
the same ratio as the increase in the
engines that eat up gas.

The dance given at the Liberty the
ater last Friday evening was we'll at
tended and the music, as was to be
expected, par excellent. The crowd
was drawn largely from the residents
OF the town, for owing to the shortage
OF gasoline there is not the usual
amount of auto travel nowadays, and
tnat shortage prevented many from
attending who otherwise would have
oeen present. The Van Atlas, deserve
credit for going to the heavy ex-
pense Of bringing a special orchestra
from such a distance as Wenatchee,
and that enterprise should be appre-
ciated by the dance lovers of the COM
munity.

NEED HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT.
For Contagious Department of Physicians

The Physicians and Surgeons Hospital
IS equipping a contagious department in

the corner Of Chestnut and Broome streets.
There will be room for about 80 beds when

thought that many families would have
furniture which they would be willing to
dispose of, and the hospital wishes to
appeal to. the public to devote any such
furniture to the use of equipping the new
contagious building.
An office set, dining@room set and bed
room furniture are needed. The build
