Ad Schlafi challenged anyone in
this section up to 100 to a match.
At the start DR.. Lessing spoke to
the audience, requesting the audience
to be orderly as the club desired to
establish reputation for clean sports
and decorous conduct. The affair was
orderly throughout, though Of course
with several hundred enthusiastic
people in such a gathering some noise
had to be made.

LET CONTRACT AUG. Ia
FOR BLEWETT WORK

World The contract for building
about six miles of the Sunset highway
through Blewett Pass from Peshas-
tin creek to the forest boundry will
be let Aug. IA, County Engineer John
Duff has announced.
All right of way along the route
has been acquired Some small
changes in the location from that
Of the present road are contemplated,
said Mr.. Duff. It will be expensive
construction, he said, facilities for
drainage being large item in the
cost.
When this section of road is fin
ished and when the work now being
done on the road between Cashmere
and Dryden is completed, there will
remain only about two and one-quar-
ter miles of the Sunset highway to
be finished. This piece Of the high
way is between the forest boundry
and Ingills creek, and is said to be
comparatively easy construction.
There are 36 miles of the Sunset
highway in Chelan county, and all
finished portions of it have been con-
structed according to the federal aid
and state standards.

EDITORIAL

The national administration is to
be congratulated upon its efforts TO
settle the railway and mine strikes,
and especially the former. Failure
to bring about a settlement at once
should not prevent further efforts.
The government is face to face with a
situation so grave that no man can
turn his back to it and do his whole
duty. The enemies Of constitutional
government thrives during these un-
settled times. The !. ". W. have
multiplied during the unrest Of the
past few months and this growth Of
radicalism has been especially great
within a few weeks, until even our
national army is said TO be furnish
ing many red-card adherents The
zone big union" sentiment is spread
ing like wildfire. The Echo is not an
alarmist, nor do we fear that Rus
sianism will gain a serious foothold
here if everyone does his duty. But
the drift now is in that direction
with revolution and chaos in prospect
unless honesty and wisdom prevail in
the governments dealings with the
problems Of the masses at this time.

BIG SMOKE AT p. o.

sounded. Luckily IT was all smoke
and no fire, excepting in the furnace
where waste paper was being burned.
The furnace door had been left open
through an oversight, hence the big

HUMAN FOLLY

It is nothing new and unprecedented
this tragic realization that war and it's
various heritages must be paid for over
and over when the war has been long dead
and buried. But we are recurrently most
aware of the folly and its cost when the
bill comes around. Then, if anyone is
reluctant to admit that war is the most
senseless waste of human material man
can possibly devise, he is forced to admit
anyway that its cost in dollars and cents
to participant nation is patent evidence
of insanity.
The budget bureau week ago issued an
estimate of appropriations for the fiscal
year of 1924. Just about two-thirds of all
the moneys the government plans to spend
next year is to be devoted to war and its
accessories, to maintenance of an army
and navy, to caring for victims of old wars
and paying holders of bonds that made
prosecution of war possible. The whole
budget total is little more than three
billion dollars, the item of war expense
little less than two billion
Sincere administrators and legislators
can howl for economy until they split an
artery, but the war charge is fixed They
may economic to the bone, cut off every
government salary, wipe out every depart
ment, abolish congress, release every am
bassador and janitor and cabinet officer
and elevator operator and still have this
stupendous item of $2,0O0,OOO,0OO that
must be paid. For example, the shipping
broad might be wiped out entirely; the saw
ing to taxpayers on every dollar would be
one and two-thirds cents. The depart
ments of justice and of state might be sus-
pended; the cut in taxes would amount to
just about one penny in hundred.
This is an old complaint. So is war.
And it's exactly as futile and tragic and
expensive and lunatic as it was when the
first man took up arms The budget
merely recalls this to us. What if the
worlds 1924 budget had been available to
every able-bodied man on earth one July
day eight years ago?

THE EXAMPLE OF MR.. SCROoCE-

Being merry is very often solemn and
heavy business Intent on distributing
joy on Christmas day, we are too prone to
distribute mean looks and hard words
while we are preparing to play Santa
Claus. The average Christmas crowd is
anything but Jolly. Any shopgirl will tell
you that.
We are not going to tell our readers
to do their Christmas shopping early, for
it is too late. We do ask them, however,
to do their Christmas shopping cheerfully
to remember that this season brings
extra work and cruel contact with peevish
buyers to large number of their fellow
citizens.
1t is an excellent plan, at least week
before Christmas day, to dust off your
Dickens and run over "The Christmas
Carol" If you can get yourself into the
mental attitude of the reformed Scrooge
you will make your buying excursions
more pleasant both for yourself and others.
Kind words are more than coronets, but,
paradoxically, they are also fewer-es
pecially along about now. Don't be afraid
to stock up with them before you go down
town. They will be as good as Christmas
presents to the girl behind the counter
and great deal more inexpensive. This
ought to be very merry Christmas. But
it can't be merry one if everybody gets
mad and wants to fight simply because
it takes clerk twenty minutes to find
doll with blue dress and gray eyes, which
is the only kind of doll that is wanted
by the small givee at home.

LIES PICKERING CANDLE

The most expensive candle in the world
has just been completed in honor of En-
rico Caruso, at cost of nearly $4,000.
But that is not the fascinating thing about
it. 1t is the gift of an orphan asylum of
New York, and that is not the most in
teresting fact, either The real magma
ton propelling circumstances is the inten-
ton to make this candle last for 18 CEN
turtles, so that, in or about the year 1928
on All Souls Day the priest at the Church
of Our Lady at Pompeii will light its
meagre stub for the last time
That date is almost as far ahead of us
as the birth Of Christianity is behind u.s.
1t is date far beyond any the prophets
have cared to NEEDLE with beyond very
vague and general terms. Most of our
own troubles, it is pretty sure, will not
then be found on the records at all and
all these momentOus years and thrilling
days of adventure which make up our life
may be compressed into spiritless para
graph.
Even so, one is tempted to speculate on
the pilgrim who will visit the Caruso
candle, say, in $500 A. D. We shall have
been dead 13 centuries, which puts us in
the same class, relatively, as Diocletian
and Constantine. These visitors will come
by means of transportation probably I'M
known to us and scrutinize the dwindling
flame surmounting the name of the great
tenor of the dawn of the industrial age.
Doubtless books will be written-if books
are used then-and legends will grow up;
children will be taught the story of this
day with as much establishment. doubtless.
as we should feel could we have glimpse
forward to that

FARMER SALESMEN-

Inc agricultural colleges are getting
around to teaching craftsmanship. Ger
tainly if there's anybody who is in need of
sales system it is the farmer He is
forced to buy at the top of the retail mar
ket, and sell at the lowest wholesale
figure. The last two years have been dis
couraging ones for many farmers, and
any movement to make their work remun-
erative will be welcomed.
Here OF late years we have heard so
much about improved farm methods that
sometimes we really wonder how Grandpa
ever did manage to get along Well
Grandpa was pretty well used up when
it came time to turn over the farm to his
sons, and in many cases the sons didn't
care whoop about farming, and sold out
their interests and went to the city.
The city profited by the fresh energy of
these farm lads of generation ago. but
the farm lost. Farmers now are learning
that they must organize if they are going
to keep abreast of the competition of
modern days. Farm bureaus are a. splen-
did indication of how we'll that question
has been learned. You may have been
told by some city folks that the farmers
are slow, but maybe you've noticed that
they've taken hold of all the new ideas
that have come along in the last 20 years,
developed them and made them successful,
just the same.
Cotton farmers in several Mississippi
counties learned to realize eight to ten
cents more a pound on their product by
organization. The citrous fruit growers
of the west coast have learned the secret
of craftsmanship. Pass it along, boys. If
the agricultural colleges are going to teach
the farmer to be salesman, first of all
they'll have to realize that the farmers al
ready know a little something about that
themselves, and second, they'll have to be
practical, and not dose the farmers with
too much theory.

DON'T SMILE, SCRATCH

Times are better. But don't grin so
widely that you forget the gloomy period
which began in May, 1920, and from which
we have just well emerged. Somebody
said recently that a pessimest is man who
has talked with an optimist.
Optimists served their turn in the black
days. A few good Woodworking pessimists
is what the country needs when times are
good. Colonel Leonard w. Ayres of the
general staff of the army is an expert on
business statistics. He has been making
a survey of the financial state of the coun-
try covering the last 60 years.
His conclusion is that four years out of
every 10 are visited by serious business de-
preston. In other words, if you lived 60
years, you will feel the shoe pinch in "a of
them. 1t is up to you to be provident dur
ing the other Sc.
Prosperity gets little better than an
even break. 1t is the man who doesn't 90
around simpering during good times, but
thinks of possible rainy days ahead, who
is generally found to have laid by an UNI
berella when the rainy days do come.
Save your smiles for the gloomy period.
Now, while everything is lovely scratch.
