Worlds Greatest Crop.

Contrary to general opinion, the
worlds greatest crop is not wheat
but the potato. This leads the
staples, being produced at the rate
of 4,00O,0OO,OOO bushels a year,
while the wheat yield is only g.
100000. Europe produces sew
en-eighth of all the potatoes, but it
is little Ireland which eats most of
them, averaging four pounds of po-
tatoes a day per capita. The Unit
ed States is on record as the great
est meat eating country in the
world, II, 000,000,0OO pounds yearly
being consumed here. There are
psychologists who ascribe to this
her power on land and sea. John
ny Bull has the sweetest tooth a.
mong the worlds children, heading
the list of sugar consumers at o
yearly rate of 3,0O0,OOO,OOO pounds.

Capt. Kimme1, commandant.

Capt. Edward Kimmel and wife.
both graduates of the w. A. c., ar
rived in Pullman last Thursday
evening, and were gladly welcomed
again in College circles. Capt.
Kimmel, who comes to take charge
of the military department, was
member of the first class that left
the institution. After graduation
he taught for time in the Waits
burg Academy; but, when the
Spanish-American war broke out,
enlisted as first sergeant in Co. K,
Ist Wash. Volunteers. Shortly
after, he took the examination for
and secured the appointment to a
second lieutenancy in the regular
army. He saw active service in the
Philippines, where he was soon
promoted to the rank of Ist lieuten-
ant. At the end of three years
service he returned to the United
States, and after attending school
for one year at Fortress Monroe
was made a captain of artillery.
Mrs. Kimmel was also a member
of the class of 81, and upon gradu-
! alton became an instructor in the
preparatory department of the COL
lege. Since their marriage in 1901,
Mr.. and Mrs. Kimmel have been
living at Fortress Monroe.
The College is very fortunate in
having secured the services of Capt.
Kimmel, and the college commun-
ity is the gamer by the coming of
these young people.

referee atthe P. S. U.-U. Of l. game
last Saturday.
The young ladies gave areception
to the p. S. u. football team on
Friday night. The evening was
spent in dancing.
The bible study classes, on &C
count of the excursion, will meet on
Saturday evening instead of Friday.
Hereafter the classes will meet in
Science Hall.
The new boarding club at the
foot of the hill, was opened Tues
day. The club is a student affair
and board will cost the same as at
the College dormitories.
The senior pharmacy class ap-
peared in chapel Monday with their
new class sweaters. Before seating
themselves they gave their yell.
This was followed by feeble, rag
ged yell from the Sophs. Then all
was quiet.
The Elementary Association has
elected the following officers for this
semester: w. J. Mclean, presi-
dent; Milgard, Ist vice president;
Stockbudge, and vice president;
Miss Oma Smith, secretary; Mat
tern, treasurer, and Hutchinson,
Sgt. at Arms.
Prof. Snow has large and pro-
gressive class in dramatic reading
over 20 enrolled. Several of the
members either possess literary tai
ent or have had work of this kind
before, thus making it a strong
class. They are reading Macbeth
at present. Prof. Snow hopes to
stage play before the end of the
semester.
The elementary school has &C
cepted the challenge of the prepara-
tory department of the University of
Idaho for debate. A preliminary
debate will be held soon. All those
intending to try for place on this
team or the team that meets the
Walla Walla high school, shoult
put their names to the list on the
bulletin board at once.
The College lecture course has
been announced. The first number
will appear October 20, given by
Edmund Vance Cooke, the Ohio
poet. To those who heard him last
year he needs no introduction. The
other numbers to follow will be of
a high literary merit. The price of
a season ticket is small compared to
the educational value of these kc-
lures.
Pie and the Goblin moth may have
no scientific relation to each other,
but they were both considered at
the Biological club meeting Friday
afternoon. Eldred Jenne gave an
interesting lecture summarizing his
experiments and Investigations of
the life history of the Goblin moth.
After the mental feast the club
marched into the botanical labora-
tory to enjoy a pie feed" The
prize for the best pie, FIVE pound
box of bon bons, was awarded to
Miss Maud Putnam. When the pie
and hilarity had subsidized Miss
Thompson was elected lord warden,
and Miss Libby recorder.

Daniel f. Brown, merchant and man
of affairs, one of the best known citi-
zens not only of Bloomington but of
Grant county as we'll, is native of
Ohio and came to Patch Grove with
his father, Luther Brown, in 1916,
where they started a farm and engaged
| in subduing the wilderness. He had
| been in Patch Grove but six years
when he was smitten with the gold
fever, and in company with others
went to California in 1852. The great
western prairie was then nearly devoid
of habitation and Omaha was merely
a river fording place. He returned in
short time to Tafton, now Blooming
ton, where he has resided ever since.
In 1861 he started business in a build
| ing opposite the M. E. church, which
was subsequently, moved to Canal
street and became the property Of MIR.
Browns brother, VIM. Fl. This build
ing was destroyed in the fire of 81.
His present place of business he has
occupied for forty years. 1t is large
two-story rock structure, the center OF
business activity.
Mr.. Brown has always been in de-
mand by the public. He was chairman
of the town and president of the vii
lage in all about twenty years, during

represented, decorated with plaids.
Small green mounds were built upon
which sheep grazed watched by a
Shepherdess. Next came the Indians.
In front was a wigwam through the
open door of which small lack-eyed
Indian lass could be seen weaving bas-
kets. At the other end was a canoe
with an Indian sitting in it. Around
the campfire savage band of chiefs
and squaws armed with tomahawks
danced and yelled in true Indian fash
ion. Behind these came the "InteI-
national nursery" which was really a
large rack upon which were small
children dressed to represent twenty
different nations. They were under
| the watchful care of two white aproned
nurses Then came little floral float
completely covered in roses, under
meath an archway of which sat little
Maudie Livingston dressed in white
and playing upon an improvised harp.
It was drawn by two little twin broth
ers dressed in white suits. Then came
Darktown float with log cabin on one
and singing. Next was the ragamutfins
or "High Fallutins." The best of
these was a small two wheeled cart
containing several little pickaninnies,
one riding the horse and eating water
melons. The decorated carriages wer e
all very pretty-two deserving Of spec
ial mention. One was decorated by
Leila Alton, Jennie and Bessie Allen
and Bessie livingston blue
and white. Allen Bros, had one of
their swell surreys decorated in green
and white, drawn by the fine black
team of Harlan Biddicks. The first
prize was given to the Indians, second
to Japs aud third TO international
Nursery. The parade marched to the
ground where Rev. Bird was intro
duced and gave an excellent address
After dinner fine program was given
showing much practice and hard work.
The band showed itself to be an excel
lent musical organization, discourse
ing sweet music all day. Livingston
certainly did it up right as it always
does. The town had on gala appear
ance, all the business places and resi-
dences being gaily decorated. In the
evening we had grand display of
fireworks and dance. Our neighbor-
ing villages were we'll represented and
Livingston will undoubtedly remem-
Der these places at anything they may
have in the future. CRICKET.

CITY MATTERS
MADE PUBLIC
Common Council Considered
Matters Tuesday.
APPROVE LICENSE BONDS
Aldermen Disagree on Bill for City
Lighting. Library Commission
Reports. New Appointments.

The Common Council held regular
meeting for July at city hall Tues
day evening. Mayor Haesell pre-
sided and all the aldermen were
present.
Minutes Of last meeting read and
approved.
A number of citizens appeared to
solicit special favors. M. M. Ziegler
desired a fawcett placed at the
central gate at cemetery to facilitate
securing of water. This was grant
ed.
Geo. P. Goble wished to know if
any action had been taken in regard
to removing distractions from alley
running north and south at rear of
his store. He was informed that
notice had been served on property
owners to vacate city ground and
that same would be done
Report of Library commission
was read by Clerk Michaelis and on
motion adopted. Terms of Mrs. A.
G. Knapp and Henry Muesse as
members of the commission having
expired, the mayor re-appointed
them. Atty. S. H. Taylor, another
member, having located elsewhere,
a vacancy occurred which the
mayor filed by naming Atty. Geo.
B. ClementSOn. All these appoint
ments were confirmed by council on
motion of AID. Ray.
An ordinance relating to sale of
liquors in city was offered and
passed.
A number of petitions for extern
sion CT water mains were read, but
all were tabled for time being with
out consideration until condition of
city's finances for next year is fully
determined.
Billiard and pool license was
granted to F. G. Burr.
Bonds of seven saloonkeepers
were read and approved.
A number of bills were consider
ed. All but one were allowed with
out protest. This one was that of
j. G.. Harshberger, amounting to
$475 for four months city lighting.
Night Waterman Taylor under in
structions from council has been
keeping record Of number of arc
lights that failed to burn all night
for some time past and he reported
302 to have been out during period
covered by the bill. According to
agreement with the city, Mr.
Harshberger was to submit to 3
fine of soc per night for every light
that did not burn and three of the
aldermen desired that he be held to
the agreement and the bill be dis
counted to this amount.
Mr.. Harshberger was not present
but his bill was supported by Alder
men Muesse, May, BROKER, Knapp
and Goodrich. They explained
their action in stating that in their
belief the grounds for demanding
the cut would not stand litigation.
Aldermen Henkel, Ray and Place
stubbornly opposed allowing the
bill in full but were in the minority,
and it went through,
Council then adjourned.

Milwaukee will have it's first
annual horse show in the Exposi-
ton building the week of July 20,
and Judging from the amount
of interest reflected by the press OF
that city it is to be a great success.
High bred horses from Wisconsin
and adjoining states, and even from
far away Virginia, have been en-
tered in the various classes. Society
people from all the important cities
of the West have already bought
boxes, about 100 of them selling at
800 apiece, while others have
brought SIS and $50 each. The
Exposition building is being rear
ranged for the express purpose of
accommodating the immense atten-
dance that is anticipated.

him the chairman. He was also di-

urer and in fact the people are always
requiring his services where he can be
induced to serve.
Mr. Brown can WELD facile pen.
During his residence in California his
letters to the Golden Era of San Fran
cisco commanded the attention of the
entire coast. Nobody suspected the
plain miner of Todd's Valley. Old
copies of that journal containing those
letters may still be found in the pos
session of old settlers. Had Mr..
Brown chosen literary career there
can be no doubt of his success in that
profession.
