SPELLING REFORM.

How often on a drowsy day
When summers most alluring look
smiled on the meadow and the bay
/ sat behind my spelling book
And told the letters DER and DER
To discipline my Logging brain!
Must ] unlearn those ways Of yoref
Must l go thru 1t all again?
Ny daily care must resign
And suffer no small loss. mayhap.
And humbly stand once more In line.
Perchance to earn the ounces CAPT
From all my books must depart
And take the rude unscholared swain
As my preceptor in the art
Him whom I Viewed with such diG
dain?
II like q boy they bid me learn
vow shall not 60 halfway.
Unto q top and kite I'll turn
Aye. and play truant some fne day!
II to my task bend anew
I'll have the pleasure with the pain:
I'll learn baseball and leapfrog. too.
II / 60 thru 1t all again.

HOG RAISING FOUND PROFITABLE
Whitman County Farmers Get Un-
usually High Prices for Their
Porkers.

PULLMAN, May ia carload Of
fat hogs has been shipped by Lar
kin & Ellis, Of Colfax, who bought
them from farmers near Pullman.
The price paid was 1918 per 100
pounds, which is 25 cents lower than
the price prevailing a few days ago.
Buyers predict a further drop in the
price of hogs, which are higher here
by nearly 1 cent per pound, than in
Chicago and Omaha. Mr.. Larkin says
when he was in Portland a few days
ago he was offered some good stock
hogs for 1925 per 100 pounds.
Hogs have been higher here during
the past two months than for 10 years,
and the high price has induced many
farmers to sell off their animals until
the number left in the county is lower
than for many years. With wheat at
so cents per bushel. or less, and hogs
at and cents a pound, there is big
profit in feeding hogs. and those who
were fortunate enough to have
large number have made good profits.
Many Raised in Whitman.
Whitman county is believed to pro-
duce more hogs than any two coun-
ties in the state and hundreds of car
loads are shipped from here annually
Farmers are fencing farms hog tight
and raising alfalfa and other tame
grasses for feed and preparing to
raise hogs without the expense of
feewing grain during the entire year.
O. E. Young, who sold SO head of hogs
1880 worth of hogs since January l.,
and still has a number for breeding
purposes.
E.. ]. Durham, living near Union
! town, is one of the most extensive
hog raisers of this section, having
seldom less than 800 head on his farm
at one time Mr.. Durham has pasture
for his stock hogs and feeds the fat
tening hogs grain before putting them
on the market. He says that for sew
eral years he has averaged 81 bushel
for his wheat by feeding it to hogs.
Mr.. Durham feeds barley and wheat,
using barley for the growing hogs and
feeding those he wishes to fatten for
! market on wheat He said: Il find
that barley gives bone and size, and
by feeding the hogs barley until they
have a good growth and then feeding
wheat, they attain good size and fatten
rapidly when put on wheat. In many
wears experience / have found this to
he about the best combination FOR
feeding and fattening hogs. 1 find
hog raising pays much better thar
growing wheat or barley for market

FOR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
Newlands for National Incorporation of
 Railroads.

Washington, April 4.-In the senate to-day MT. Newlands discussed the railroad-rate bill and MT. Daniel the question of the lack of representation by the southern states in the public ser vice. MT. Newlands advocated amend ments to the rate bill providing for the national incorporation of railroads, and announced himself as favorable to the governmental ownership of those utili- ties.
 MT. Daniels speech was based on a provision in the urgent deficiency ap- propriation bill for the representation of the United States at the next Pan- American congress to be held in Rio Janeiro next July. He said that the plans of the state department did not contemplate representation of the south or the far west, and then entered upon a general consideration of southern participation in public affairs, contend ing that political differences should not be permitted to prevent such participa- tion on broader scale.
 The deficiency bill was amended so as to provide for more delegates, and, as amended, was passed.

 They Will Cause His Arrest on the
 Charge of Misuse of Funds--Another
 Message From Fallen Apostle.
 Chicago, April Alt was decided to- day by Overseer Voliva of Zion City that in view of the announced intended return of John Alexander Dowie from Mexico, and Dowie's declared intention of making a fight against the action suspending Dowie from office, that tho present overseer shall be appointed re- ceiver of the Church of Zion and of all the public properties standing in the name of the church The courts prob ably win be asked to name voliva as receiver within the next few days.
 It was also asserted by the officers of Zion City that if Dowie returns and commences legal action against the present officers of the church, or att tempts to oust them, they will cause his arrest and prosecution on the charge of misuse of funds.

 A message was to-day received by Deacon Alexander Granger from Dowie reading as follows
 You are hereby removed from your office as general financial manager and all other offices. I warn you should you undertake to exercise any author- ity as financial manager it will be re- garded as criminal

New Chief Secretary for Ireland Under
 Their Ban.
 London, April 4.-Trouble has broken out between James Bryce, chief secre- tary for Ireland, and the national party. T1e latter wanted the dismissal of twenty-seven temporary assistant land commissioners appointed in 1908 for a term of three years, which has just ex- pifed. They almost all were obnox- ious to the nationalists because of be- longing to the great landowning class, and the nationalists hoped Chief Sec retary Bryce would replace them with commissioners more to the Irish wishes in the administration of the land act. Chief Secretary Bryce, however, only accepted the resignations of eight of these men and reapponted the others.
 John Redmond presided at a meeting of sixty members of his party to-day which adopted resolutions condemning Chief Secretary Bryce's action and calling for the removal of the objec. tionable commissioners.

TO PROTECT THE SABBATH
Bill Introduced in Canadian Parliament
 by Minister of Justice.

Ottawa, Ont, April 4-"A bill to provide for day of rest, so that each man may be free to abstain from la- bor, 7 is the manner in which the minis ter of justice to-day ascribed his bill respecting the Lords day.
 MT. Fitzpatrick's interpretation of the bill leaves the general impression that the effect will not be radical but that it is desirable to safeguard the rest day from further encroachrnents He agreed with the Archbishop of Canterbury that 1t was not desirable for Christian country to be too con- siderate of the wishes of alien imni- grants who objected to rules laid down for the observance of Sunday. The bill elicited no further discussion and was referred to a special committee for full consideration.
