WOMAN KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT An automobile returning from the Park last Sunday evening, was overturned shortly after leaving the Park entrance. A lady occupant was so seriously injured that she died shortly after, the body being removed to the undertaking parlors of the A. W. Merrow Co. at Eatonville, and will be sent to her former home in Portland, Ore. LOCAL BALL TEAM AGAIN MEETS DEFEAT After some of its members had been routed from their beds at a late hour Sunday morning after a long session at the dance on the night previous, the local ball team bucked up against an all-star soldier team from the 363rd Infantry, Camp Lewis and went down to an inglorious defeat. The visiting team numbered among its members, Louis Guiso who held down the first bag for the Cleveland Americans last year. Guiso's home is in California and it was from that state that he was drafted to the cantonment at American Lake. Other prominent members were Jolly, who handled the big mitt for Detroit last year, Reardon, who played the same position in the Northwestern League and Eddie Kline, who is a big league pitcher of national repute. Few hits were permitted the locals, Williams made a three-bagger and Hill hit out for two sacks, these being the most prominent. The local management were probably unacquainted with the skill of the visiting team when the challenge was extended. CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank Dr. Bridge and the people of Eatonville, who were so kind to me during my recent sickness. Elsie Ingle.

Capt. Maudsley of Camp Lewis is a good speaker and is in great demand but there seems to be a doubt as to whether he will remain in Camp Lewis until that time. Mrs. Seymour recommends that the matter be taken up with Rev. Edgar C. Wheeler of the Y. M. C. A. at the same time, stating, that she will do whatever lies in her power to assist in getting such a speaker for the occasion. MANUAL TRAINING SUPERVISOR RESIGNS Mr. J. W.

CENTRAL COMMITTEE TO HOLD GRAND BALL The Central Council committee is getting its advertising ready for the Grand Ball at Red Men's Hall, June 1st. This ball is held for the purpose of assisting to defray the expenses of an Independence Day celebration in Eatonville, and is deserving of the patronage of everyone in the community. Organization chiefs should assure themselves that this matter is brought to the attention, in its proper light, of every member. CALLED FOR JURY The following Eatonville persons are called for jury duty in Dept. No. 2, to report June 10th: Paul Nelson, Belle Reese. Mr. H. O. Holz, A. C. Holz and family motored to Tacoma Saturday. Pg. 2, col. 1 & 2 THE RED CROSS DRIVE The National Red Cross Week commences next Monday. locally this drive will be directed by mayor A. W. Bridge who owing to his long residence here, his local prominence and his official position is the logical man for this important branch of the war-work. No doubt, he will appoint several assistants and a house-to-house canvass will be made of the entire district. This is as it should be; and, we feel sure that everyone who is thoroughly conversant with the work of the Red Cross will give as much as means will permit. It is certain that every patriot will make some sacrifice to the cause by aiding the Red Cross. This organization is now doing relief work in almost all of the European nations as well as in America. German and Austrian wounded are cared for, fed and brought back to health again wherever captured and the work of the Red Cross among the allies covers an immense field. The war zone has been divided into districts with Red Cross workers at the principal cities distributing, beds, bedding, cooking utensils, agricultural implements etc., and assisting in replacing all of the other articles, destroyed by the Germans, which are necessary to make the land habitable and productive. Its canteens provided more than a million meals to soldiers during the month of December and this work has been extended immeasurably since that time. Institutions for the care of consumptives are provided; institutions for the re-education of maimed men from the front and warehouses, crammed with materials, are situated at every point along the Western and Italian fronts. Millions of woolen sweaters, mufflers, socks, and other comforts have been made at home for the welfare of the boys at the front. Millions of civilians in Serbia, Belgium, Romania and France have been fed, clothed and given medical attention through the Red Cross. Little children, left orphans by the murderous Huns, are placed in homes and educated, nourished and made happy. To the man laying in No Man's Land with shattered limb and throat parched with thirst; to the wife who begs from door to door that she may have food for her children; to the little boy snatched from his mothers arms to see her carried to a fate worse than Death; to the little girl thinly clad and shivering by the ruins of what was once her home, to all these, the Red Cross is an untold blessing purveyed by Angels of Mercy. Is there any part of this Red Cross work with which your heart does not beat in sympathy? Is there any part but that you would desire to assist? Is there any part that does not meet with your hearty approval; that is not democratic, humane, Christ-taught? Nest week the opportunity will be extended you to aid in this work. It is not Charity; it is duty. Sacrifices must be made in the name of Humanity by the boys at the front; let us sacrifice a portion of our worldly goods, in the same cause, that theirs may not entirely overbalance our own. They offer their lives; let us, at least, ofer our money in such amount as is possible. HELP THE RED CROSS. Pg. 2, col. 2 IN THE EDITOR'S MAIL (This column is open to our readers. Any communication, not of a personal nature and clothed in proper language may be published. All communications must bear signature of writer, but same may be withheld fro publication at writer's request. The editor assumes no responsibility for these communications.) Editor dispatch, Dear Sir: If you will permit a reply to the article in your last week's issue, headed "Park Day" I will say, first that the act of the Eatonville Central Council in sending a proposition to the Church organizations to work on the Sabbath day, if it did not spring from ignorance, was discourteous; second, since any public reference was made to the matter, the church should have been given credit for a decided refusal of such proposition; third, that the school law of the State of Washington lays upon the teachers of the State of Washington the duty of upholding the moral law and the laws of the State, so that the teachers who made the announcement of Sabbath labor under protest were simply doing their duty it would have been within their rights to entirely refuse to make the announcement, but they chose the most feasible way out of the embarrassing position in which the request of the Central Council placed them; fourth, neither the Central Council, nor the school board, nor any organization has the right to make any request of the teachers of a school, that is in contravention of the school law or the general law of the State; fifth, it is entirely contrary to the genius of American freedom, a land of religious liberty, to make any criticism, public or private, of a servant of any public institution, for acting in accordance with their religious convictions; sixth, the public criticism of a school teacher is decidedly out of place, and most of all when coming from a school official; seventh, it may be true that the majority of the citizens of Eatonville will uphold that action of the Central Council although it is hardly to be thought that any law court would uphold the contention that the work on the Sabbath day was a work of necessity or mercy, but the undersigned doubts that a majority of the citizens of Eatonville will sanction the criticism of the Dispatch upon the teachers in question; eighth, it would seem to the undersigned, that the Eatonville Central Council and the Dispatch, is working for the community welfare that they should seek to avoid giving needless offence to any portion of the public, however much in the minority. Yours sincerely, Rev. F. H. Walker. P. S. This communication is entirely personal, it is not written at the request of any person or persons. F. H. W. Editor's Note: We are glad to throw the columns of the "Dispatch" open to our readers for an intelligent discussion of any live subject. Any communication which is reasonable in tone and language and which contains nothing to give personal offense to others of our readers, will receive consideration. This subject will remain open for discussion for a time. H. O. A. PICNIC POSTPONED The H. O. A. picnic which was to be given by Mrs. J. T. Carlson on Saturday, the 18th, inst., has been postponed indefinitely due to the present weather conditions. Pg. 2, col. 3 TREASTON-AN ANTIDOTE Treason has certain degrees according to the activity of the traitor. It ranges, in its stages as well as its danger to the nation, from the latent slacker who simply sleeps during the war work that is going on around him, to the one who is actively engaged in propaganda work for the Central allies. For the latter, there seems to be no effectual cure excepting the attention of Uncle Sam's firing squad, as this is the advanced stage. For the one who is continually tooting his traitorous horn about peace at any price, condemning the war work, we recommend the following: Remove the patient, at night, to some quiet spot, preferably in a wooded locality, remove all clothing, make him fast to a tree, telephone pole or other stable object and prepare the following remedy to be applied externally. The use of an anesthetic is unnecessary. Build a fire and heat two gallons of common tar to a consistency of syrup. Extreme care should be used that the tar does not reach a temperature exceeding 195 degrees Fahr. As a temperature in excess of this point may cause blistering and removal of the skin thus lessening the good effect of the poultice. Apply the tar to all parts of the body with a stable broom or scrubbing brush. While the tar is yet warm apply a solid coating of the feathers of any common fowl. The following is about the best; for the head, neck and chest use the tail and wing feathers of a red cockerel, for the abdomen use white leghorn feathers and for the lower extremities apply the feathers of a Plymouth or Barred Rock. After this, have the patient repeat the following: "I pledge allegiance to my flag; to the republic for which it stands; one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all." Next have the patient press his lips to the American flag and release him as an object lesson to his kind. This treatment has been found very effectual in various parts of the nation and there are no patent rights involved so there is no danger of an infringement suit. Pg. 2, col. 4 SIGNAL CORPS NEEDS EXPERIENCED NEWS PHOTOGRAPHERS A number of high-grade news photographers are urgently needed by the Signal Corps. These men must have expert experience in the handling of speed cameras such as Graflex, Graphic, and also understand speeds of lenses and various makes of cameras and operation of same. Only those men who can furnish references as to their actual experience as news photographers will receive attention. The men selected for this branch of the service will be sent to a school for military training. Upon completion of the training they will be promoted to grades of sergeants, first class, and will be ordered overseas in a short time. Applicants must be citizens of the United States between the ages of 21 and 31. All communications should be addressed to Air Division, Training Section, Photographic Branch, Washington, D. C. A war expert is a man who knows as little about the Russian situation as you do, and admits it. Pg. 2, col. 5 MARINE CORPS AGAIN ASKS FOR RECRUITS The Marine Corps has begun a new drive for recruits to provide for the recently authorized increase in the corps. Recruiting has not been pushed since August, when the Marine Corps reached its full strength authorized at the time, but more than 2,000 men were enlisted in April. In the Marine Corps Reserves and National Naval Volunteers there are now more than 40,000 men. Pg. 2, col. 6 LETTER FROM HARRY STEERE Dear Mother: Your letter came today and was very glad to get it. I was up in the air three times today. The first one was a humdinger-went up to try out a motor that was missing when the machine was leveled off after a nose dive. So up we went to helingone and then, all of a sudden, over we went. I could see San Diego away down below me getting bigger and bigger and coming right up to meet me at an awful clip, and it seemed like my shoes were trying to come right up thru my legs and come out of my mouth but because my mouth was not big enough they had to stay in and choke me. Well, after dropping about eight hundred feet we leveled off and the old time instructor gave her the gun and all my attention was instantly on my motor, but never a miss did she make, so it pleased the old boy so well to think that I had fixed his motor for him where others had failed, that he showed his appreciation by going into another dive of a thousand feet, but this time, my shoes stayed where they belonged and I sure did enjoy it. This was my first real big nose dive and I'll never forget the sensation which comes just as you nose over and start down toward the earth at a hundred per. Then I was up twice this afternoon on short trips around the island to try out other ships. The same man that I fixed the ship for this morning came down from the other end of the island this afternoon to have me work on his training ship. I'm just getting along fine: the work is hard and there is lots of it but it is interesting and I like it. From 6:45 A. M. to 6:40 P. M. is a long day, but when you're holding down a responsible job where lives depend on your judgment, you don't mind it. If I want to stop a ship for repairs, I tell them to take the ship to its hanger and it goes. I have been compelled to order Majors, Captains, and Lieuts, out of ships in order to repair them at the hangar or in the field. Working in the field has made me as red as can be and when I put on a bleached-out khaki uniform, now almost white, I look like a regular red skin. I am getting so hard boiled that when I want to take a nut off the engine stud, I just bite it off. How's that? Well, I'm going to bed, so Good-night. Harry LIBERTY BONDS All those who paid for their bonds in full at the time of purchase may have them by calling at the bank. Individual notice will be sent out as soon as the proper blanks come from the Federal Reserve Bank. Pg. 3, col. 5 NOTICE SHOULD BE GIVEN A short time ago, in the wee sma' hours, a prominent citizen, locally, strayed into ye editor's sanctum sanctorum and explained that he was in search of literary atmosphere; higher thought or new thought or some other thing equally strange to us. As nearly as we could understand he expected to find the editorial chair filled by a Browning, "Marse Henry" Watterson and a William Randolph Hearst, all rolled into one. What he actually found was; ye editor working over a ten-inch stack of "statements of Account" ranging in value from ten cents to two and a quarter, a printer talking "fast French" to a job press which has temporarily refused to "job or press", a linotype expert in a frenzy of excitement and bewilderment over the loss of a 10-point caption. Our p.c. was disgusted and astonished that the editor should be dabbling with the "filthy lucre" and since we had nothing on our editorial hip with which to soothe his wounded feelings, he wandered disconsolately, away with the air of one who has just discovered that his gold brick contains brass. The moral follows: if you want to enter your name on the subscription list of the best weekly paper ever turned out in this neck of the woods, or, if you want to insert an ad for the recovery of a lost dog, or any other purpose, you will find us right on the job to take the money and give you more than value received. If you feel like enlightening us as to the latest news in your neighborhood, we will extend you the old cane-bottomed chair and Bull Durham makings as well as our thanks, but, if you are looking for local color or higher thought or whatever the name of the mysterious, elusive air that our p. c. searched for, it comes higher, and due notice must be given us so that we may assume the proper pose.
