Joy and Health
By REV. WALTER B. BROCK

A merry heart doeth good like a
medicine. CA cheerful heart is good
medicine. r. V.)-PrOverbs 1922.
A great modern scientist, ]. Arthur
Thomson, says: There is no tonic so
uplifting and renewing as joy which
sets in active exercise every construc-
tive power of the body"
If that be true, then the Gospel of
Christ is the greatest healing infu-
ence in the world, for Christ has
brought more genuine joy into this
sad world than any other. The word
gospel" means good news" or "glad
tidings." 1t is a message of happiness
and health, of joy and strength.
Sir James Barrie says: "Those who
bring sunshine into the lives of others
cannot keep it from themselves" In
other words, those who practice the
gospel of Christ are the happiest peo-
pie because they forget their own
troubles by sharing the troubles of
others; and because they live in fellow
ship with Him who said: "These things
have l spoken unto you that my joy
might remain in you, and that your
joy might be full" To possess that joy
is to possess the secret of radiant
health.

Monotony

Whether we are rich or poor, we all
have to fight against monotony-dolng
the same thing over and over until it
loses interest.
We can fight monotony with variety,
and one way to do this is by making
a wise use of leisure. If we wish to
avoid the feeling that we are merely
machines, we must become interested
in many things.

CHRISTMAS SEALS TO GO
ON SALE NOVEMBER 18TH
Double Barred Cross Is A Symbol
Of Courage and Conquest

This years Christmas tuberculosis
seal goes back to the 1865 for it's in
spiration. 1t links today's use of the tu-
berculosis seals with the first applica
ton in this country of similar meth
cd of raising funds during the time of
the Civil War, for relief work among
the soldiers and their families. This
years seal carries sketch of a young
girl of that period-with redingote,
hoopskirt, waterfall of curls and all
the other accessories of that day
posting a letter in an old-fashioned
mail box.
Tiny as it is all of the details of
the little sketch are historically COR
rect-even to the picture of the little
mail box. According to official records,
delivery of mail by government carri-
ers was inaugurated in 1868 and mail
boxes of that type of the reception of
letters were installed at the same time.
The purpose for which the seal is to
be used is indicated by the double
barred cross-the insignia in all lands
of the fight against tuberculosis.
For twenty-eight years, the little
successors to the seals of three score
and ten years ago have been carry
ing a message of hope and help for
sufferers from tuberculosis. The seals
will be placed on sale, as usual, in all
parts of the State, by the Maryland
tuberculosis Association, on Thanks
giving Day and they will remain on
sale until the close of the Christmas
season.
Like the flaming sign in the heav
ems many centuries ago, the double
barred cross of the tuberculosis seals
is symbol of courage and conquest
to all who are engaged in any way in
the fight against tuberculosis" DR.. R.
H. Riley, Director Of the State De-
partment of Health said in reminding
Marylanders of the chance they have
to help through the purchase of the
Christmas seals.
"The proceeds from the sale of the
seals will be used" he continued, ito
ward the support of tuberculosis work
in this State, some of it going toward
the maintenance of the chest clinics
that are held in the counties under the
joint auspices of the State Tuberculo-
sis Association and the State Depart
ment of Health. Some will be used for
the upkeep of the Preventorium at
Claiborne for children in need of care
of that sort and some for educational
activities.
Thirty years ago one death in ev-
cry eight in Maryland was due to tu-
berculosis. Last year one death out of
every sixteen was charged to that dis
ease. We have made great progress
but we have long way to go before
the fight will be ended. The Christ
mas seals make it possible for every
one of US to have a share in the bat
tie. At penny apiece even the chill
dren can help.
Lets do our utmost"

Paint The Flower Pots

1t has been demonstrated that house
plants will succeed better in pots which
have been painted than in those not so
treated. This is due to the checking of
the evaporation of moisture from the
porous pots. The air of the average
living room is so dry that it is difficult
to prevent the soil from drying out
and plants suffer as result. When the
pots are painted it is desirable to use
a neutral color which will not detract
from the ornamental effect of the plant
itself. 1t is we'll known that house
wives often succeed with house plants
when they are potted in tin cans. This
is due to their non-porous character.
Cement containers seem to give better
results than the ordinary earthenware
pot and some have used rubber pots
successfully.
Winter Protection of Roses
Roses are often severely injured
during the low temperatures of winter
that rose growers will no doubt give
particular attention to protective
measures during the winter season.
Hybrid tea roses should have the
soil mounded up around them to a
depth of one foot upon the approach
of winter. This will generally be suf
fcient but in unusually cold winters
a covering Of straw, leaves, or ever
green boughs will give additional pro-
lection.
Tender climbers may be wrapped
with straw or with burlap filled with
leaves, or the vines may be removed
from the trellis, pruned and laid down
so they can be covered with soil.
Bushes which are in healthy con-
dition are likely to come through the
winter better than those in weakened
condition. Consequently thorough
going spraying or busting campaign
to control black spot and other diseases
will be worthwhile.
Another factor to be considered is
the fact that some varieties are hard
Ter than others, and less difficulty will
be experienced if the hardy sorts can
be selected.

PLAN PROPOSED
TO GET BENEFIT
OF ROAD FUND
State Highway Director Explains
New Plan AT Wenatchee
Meeting
Asks Cooperation
Wants Cities And Counties To
Share Relief Load; Would
Aid Program

Indicating marked and wide
spread interest in road building
matters, nearly every Okanogan
county municipality, besides county
commissioners, was represented at
the highway meeting held at Wen
atchee last Friday, during which
Lacey v. Murrow, state highway
director, outlined plans for the ex-
penditure of the $6,0OG,OOO federal
work relief fund allocated for high
way construction in this state.
Explains SetUp
Delegates were told by Mr.. Muir
row that the state has contracted
with the federal government to
provide with the highway fund A.
200 man years of employment for
men on relief rolls. At least 80 per
cent of the labor employed must be
from relief and the total expendi-
ture for the year for each man en-
ployed is limited to $140O. These
restrictions, he declared, will make
impossible Construction of useful
highway projects.
However, the state will be given
credit, against the 1900 man years,
for all men from relief given en-
ploylnent by county and city Off
Gals on projects paid for from their
state gas tax appointments.
If this plan becomes operative,
and indications are that it will be,
the state may proceed with con-
structive road building program,
rather than spending funds for
leaf raking and road manicuring,"
Mr.. MurroW said.
Tell Counties Share
The total of $75O,O0O to be spent
on county roads from the $4,000, 900
fund will be apportioned on the
same percentage basis as state gas
tax money, he revealed. This will
mean a total of $48,075 for this dis
trict distributed by counties as
follows: Okanogan county, $4,000;
Chelan, $16,125; Douglas, $8,025;
Ferry, $5,625; Grant, $500.

EAST SIDE PIT
AT COULEEDAM
HAS NEW SLIDE
Thousand Cubic Yards Slip Down
At Excavation
Workings
No Damage Done
Work On Okanogan County Side
Not Expected To Be De-
layed

GRAND COULEE, Aug. 5-A
small slide in the higher parts o.
the east shore excavation areas
where the slope of the earth as il
will lay after the dam is completed
was in its proper shape and viii,
necessitate the re-sloping and other
work, information obtained from
the bureau of reclamation reveals.
The slide, possibly a little more
than 1000 cubic yards in size, left
a cup-like gap in the incline from
the top of the excavation area to
the approximate middle of the now
exposed rock.
The slippage is known as dry
slippage, that is, the drying out OF
the earth on the slope caused it to
crumble. This type of sliding is in
direct contrast to the slipping of
the opposite shore where the mois-
ture of the clay provides the lubri-
cation for the earth movement.
Determine Bedrock
The bureau will probably drill a
number of holes to determine the
elevation of bedrock. After this has
been found the bureau will then
decide whether or not to remove the
overburden clear down to bedrock
or if it is too deep, to re-slope the
hillside at lesser grade.
The slide will not hold up exca-
vation operations at this point and
will in no way imperil the stability
of the dam.
Excavation on the east side is
still moving rather slowly and will
continue to be SO until the river
crossing conveycr system is COM
pleted.
The pile driver has driven the
trestle bridge about halfway across
the stream, being held back by the
extremely fast and turbulent cur
rent of the river There is no ex-
IRENE hurry to complete the east
shore excavation as concrete plac-
ing can begin on the west side and
excavation on the Okanogan shore
can be in progress even when the
Workmen start on the cofferdam FOR
that region.

Merchants Warned
About Bad Checks
Sheriff Urges Business Men 10
Use Caution; One Forger
Active Here

Warning OkanOgan county mer-
chants to refuse to cash checks fol
strangers, unless proper endorse
ment has been secured, Sheriff E
B. Hilderbrand revealed Monday
that business mer. OF the county
have been victimized to a large ex-
tent by check artists recently.
One alleged forger has beer
especially active, the sheriff said
Signing nearly all his checks, roy
I Brown" the forger has cashed
worthless checks in the MethoW
valley, Omak, Okanogan and other
communities.
Known Over State
Sheriff Hilderbrand explained
that he had attempted to trace the
forger's activities elsewhere and
had learned that his reputation was
statewide and that police in prac-
tically every city in the state are
on the lookout for him.
He is described as a man 80 years
of age; S feet, 9 inches tall, weigh
ing about $50 pounds. He was IN This
county during March and April
and cashed many bogus checks. He
had paid similar visit here in 1881
Stressing the fact that mer-
chants must protect themselves
against forgers, Sheriff Hilderbranc
explained that heavy cost to the
county would be saved if doubtful
checks were refused
