Attendance at Poultry Show
is Increasing.
JUDGING OF BIRDS COMMENCED
Decisions Of Judge Meciave viii
Probably Be Made Some Time
Tomorrow.

Walla Walla's fifth annual poultry
show is meeting with the success mat
it deserves. The attendance today was
much greater than yesterday and the
hall was fitted up better for the recrT-
ton of the crowds. The work of Judge
McClave of Ohio who is Judging ,E4
fanciers and big crowd hoverri
about the judging stand pretty much
all day.
Judge McClave does not believe in
doing this work apart from the main
exhibits but prefers to judge the birds
as they are taken from the coops. This
eliminates any rutfling of the feathers
or any possible damage to the bird in
conveying it to and from the show
room to the judges room and also IA
cilitates the work in Il great degree.
Up to noon about 20 per cent of the
entire exhibit had been scored and the
officials expect to be able to commence
announcing awards by tomorrow morn
ing. over 500 birds are on exhibition
and expert fanciers declare that the
quality of stock show is much bette
than 1T any previous show held in
Walla Walla. Especially is this true
of local exhibits and the competition
between outside and local exhibitors
for prize hOnOrS is WaXing keen.

There's An Eye On You, Boys.

When we see boys on the streets
and public places we often wonder
If they know business men are watch
ing them. In every bank, store, and
Office there will soon. be place for a
boy to fill; those who have the man
agement of business will select one of
the boys, they will not select him for
his ability to swear, smoke cigarettes,
or tap q beer keg. And the Society
Swell" who is daft about little social
functions and happy in the conceit
that he is "just the article" that
young ladies find indispensable on all
occasions, is given the CLASSY stare
quite as often as the beer guzzler or
cigarette smoker. Business men may
have few loose habits themse Ives,
but they are looking for boys who
are as near gentlemen in every sense
of the word as they can find and they
are able to give the character of every
body in the city. They are not look
ing for rowdies. When boy applies
for one of these places and Is refused
they may not tell him the reason why
they do not want him but the boy
can depend upon it that he's been
rated according to his behavior.
Boys cannot afford to adopt the habits
and conversation Of loafers and row
dies if they ever want to be called to
responsible positions.

Don't keep a dog tied up for hours

Don't forget to provide Gagged birds

Some Animal DOn'ts.

These hints are not intended for ami.
nal fanciers. They are specialists, and
and know much more about their pets
than any layman-however devoted
can tell them. But the master and
mistress Of the household dog, or cat,
or lbird, may find useful suggestion
or two in what follows.
Don't 60 on your summer vacation
without making exact provision for
the care of the cat.
Don't forget that after you have seen
to the wants of domestic animal from
the day Of its birth you have thereby
deprived it largely of the capacity to
shift for itself. :.
Don't allow your dog to run after
you when you are out for q long. ride
or drive on q hot day. The beasts un-
reasoning tenacity and his horror OF
being left alone will cause him to fol-
| low you long after he is ready to drop.
Don't think that every dog that runs
amuck Is mad. Rabies is an exceed
ingly rare disease.
Don't forget that most dogs are NOR
bidly sensitive and insanely jealous.
They may easily be hectored Into a
state of mind approaching madness by
thoughtless people who like to see them
show pique.
Don't overlook the fact that owning
pet animals involves certain moral re-
sponsibilities, and If youare not willing
to take the time and trouble to care for
them properly you ought not to keep
them.
Don't wantonly startle dog for fun.
Nature has given him hair-trigger
nerves as means of self-protection.
Don't beat his head off, therefore,
when he snaps at you after you have
all but scared the life out of him.
Don't dig him in the ribs, don't
maui him about, and don't pull his

Friends seldom desert man while
his money holds out.
It's case of minority rule in house

If some girls who think they can

be forgiven.
A woman's idea of mutual pleasure
Is to ospend the money her husband

Girls usually want 80 marry men
who can support them in q style to

If it's necessary to lie in mans
favor do it while he is alive instead of
hiring marblecutter to do 1t after he

Many man who starts out in the
world with a determination to rule
soon gets married and retires to the
rear Of the procession.
During courtship girl thinks mar

will be free from all worry and care.
After marriage she has another think

,The Immortal Beauty OF Grass.

John J. ingalls, should be forgiven
for all the bitter things he ever said
against people on account what he
has said about grass. The following
extracts from his essay on that sud-
ject will be enjoyed by all lovers of
the beau tiful:
"Next in importance to the divine
profusion of water, light and air, these
three great physical facts, which rem
der existnece possible, may be reckon.

Exaggerated by tropical heats and
vapors to the gigantic canes: congested
with its sacharine secretion, or. dwarf
ed by polar rigors to the fbrous hair
of Northern solitudes, embracing; be-
tween these extremes the maize with
it's resolute pennons, the rice plant Of
Southern swamps, the wheat, rye,
barley, oats and other cereals, no less
than the humber verdure of hillside,
pasture and prairie in the temperate
zone, grass is the most widely dis
tributed of all vegetable beings, and
is at once the type of our life and the
emblem of our mortality. Lying in
the sunshine among the buttercups
and dandelions of May, scarcely high

mimic wilderness. our earliest rec
collection are Of grass; and when the
fitful fever Is ended and the f6olish's
wrangle of the market and forum is
closed, grass heals over the scar which
our descent into the bosom Of the earth
has made, and the carpet of the in
FAINT becomes the blanket Of the
dead"
GAS he reflected upon the brevity
of human life, grass has been the ia
vorite symbol Of the moralist, the
chosen theme of the philosopher.

Nebuchadnezzer, in his penitentiai
mood, exceeded even these, and, as
the sacred historian informs Us, did
eat grass like an OK.

mage Is forgotten. Streets abandoned
by traffic become grass-grown like
rural lanes, and are Obliterated. For
ests decay, harvests perish, flowers
vanish, but grass is immortal. Be-
leaguered by the sullen hosts Of win
ter, 1t *withdraws into the impregna-
BILE fortress Of its snbterranean vitality,
and emerges upon the first solicitation
of spring. Sown by the winds, by
wandering birds, propagated by the
subtle, horticulture OF the elements
which are Its ministers and servants,
1t softens the rude outline Of the
world. Its tenacious ifibers hold the
earth In its place, and prevents Its
soluble components from washing in
to the wasting; sea. It invades the
solitude of deserts, climbs the inac-
cessible slopes, forbidding pinnacles
of mountains, modifies climates and
determine the history, character and
destiny of nations. Unobtrusive and
patent, 1t has immortal vigor and
aggression. Banished from the thor
onghfare and the field 1t bides it's
time to return, and when vigilance
is relaxed, or the dynasty has perish
ed it silently resumes the throne
from which 1t has deem expelled,
but which it never .abdicates. It
bears no blazonry or bloom to charm
the senses with fragrance or splendor,
but its homely hue. is more enchant-
ing than the lily or the rose. 1t
yields no fruit in earth or air, and yet
should its harvest fail for a single
year famine would depopulate the
world.
