TWENTY THREE"

The term '23" as almost everybodJ
knows, means "get out" It is true
telegraphers use many numbers which
represent phrases, to save time, but
'23" is not in their code. George M
Cohan, the theatrical man, started the
term going the rounds. He learned
that in certain kinds of handicap races
not more than twenty two entries are
allowed, and that when the next horse
owner comes along to enter his nag he
is told "23," meaning practically
''Your horse is No. % and, therefore
cannot be entered" From this mean
ing grew "Get outl" and it was in that
sense that Cohan used "23." He put
it in the mouths of characters in his
Little Johnny Jones" and thus gave il
the start.
Nobody knows the origin of the word
"skidoo," which is year or so older
than "23" But it means practically
the same thing. or "Get Quit" "Ski.
doc" probably belongs to the "skee-
daddle" family for it is one OF those
words which suggest their meaning the
moment they are heard. "Skeedaddle, y
1T is believed, was coined during the
Civil War. Armies in retreat were
said to skeedaddle."

CALL FOR A MEETING OFTHE COBB
COUNTY FARMERS, UNION.

EDITORS JoURNAL:-Please state to
the local Farmers Union of our county
that we will have county meeting at
the court house. at o'clock on Satur-
day, the 18th inst, and we urge each
Union to. be fully represented. We
will take definite action at this time as
to what we deem fair price for our
cotton and its bi-product, the seed.
We will be glad to have all the men,
bers of the Order to attend, as, in q
multitude of councillors, there is wis
dom. Let us once demonstrate to the
world that we only expect fair price
for the product of our labor, and assure
our struggling farmers a just compen-
sation for the labor of their hands. and
this goodly heritage of ours will take
on new life and vigor We have en-
listed for the war, be it for one year or
for life. The bondage of corrupt, mer-
CHESS capital shall Oe shorn of its pow
er, snd made subservient to the inter.
est and upbuilding of the toiling
masses. Corrupt and insolent as
Turkish ruler is aggregated capital to-
day. 1t will yet obey and ask quarter
at the hands Of the sun-burned and
sweat-begrimmed laboreIs OF our land.
I'The good God never made products so
necessary for the comfort of the human
race, as the gold and silver which he
buried in the bowels of the earth, or
the heecy staple which covers our
Southern fields, to be so diverted from
their true ends and converted into an
instrument of oppression and evil.
The people are moving, day is break
ing, keep up your courage.

Imprisonment would be the proper
punishment for Stensland, the

old-fashioned "thirty-nine lashes

every thirty days for twelve
months, would come nearer fitting
the crime. He robbed thousands
of women and children Of their

dered much of the money on wine,

DIED IN A TENT.
Harvey SADIE Would Not Send for
Physician.

The death of Harvey SADIE oc-
Cured Friday morning in tent on
the old Grant place just north Of the
Yakima -four mill. The deceased
was % years of age and leaves wife
and two small children. He died of
pneumonia.
SADIE was disciple of the Saints
of God and would not have the
services of physician, although his
friends urged upon him the futility
of attempting to combat disease
like pneumonia without some medi-
cal advice and aid. The deceased
would not consult doctor and con-
sequently succumbed to the ravages
of the disease. The funeral will be
held this afternoon at o'clock from
the undertaking parlors of A. j.
Shaw.

aid called at the room where the
mother and father had their boy.
rhe mother was in tears by the bed
side and the little fellow himself,
although in great agony, could not
understand why he must suffer SO.
When the reporter walked into the
room he looked up into his face and
tried to smile. He then attempted to
put out his little white hand, but the
pain was more than he could stand.
He tried to talk, but the effort was
too much. The case is one to be
deplored. 1t is clearly a said acct
dent, and may result in putting a
cloud upon an otherwise peaceful
and happy home.
The physician is of the opinion
that an operation will have to be re-
sorted to, and If the patient revives
it will be miracle.

future. 1t seems to be a certain fact
that the wireless system is to be a
success commercially and in fact it
is now commercial success, as in
Colorado there have been twelve sta
tons installed that are doing a bust
ness that is paying good interest on

WIRELESS SYSTEM FOR YAKIMA
State Manager Parker Will BE in
City in Week to Arrange for
Site of Station.

North Yakima is to have a station
on the De Forrest wireless system,
which is soon to be installed all over
the state of Washington and which
will be worked in connection with
that which is to be installed on Cape
Flattery. The station to be in
stalled on Flattery is to be used as
the southern end of the Alaka
branch of the service. In this last
named territory is the longest line
of wireless that has ever been
operated by the United tates govern
ment and that it has been successful
from the start has been testified to
by General Greeley, the chief signal
offer of the United States army.
The line in question is from Nome to
st. Michael, a distance of 1O7 miles
and has transmitted as many as
1000 mords an hour without a mis-
take of any kind occurring. During
the year over 100000 words were
sent over the instruments and the
repairs and delays that were expert
enced on the new system were in
finitesimal as compared with those
on the oldfashioned lines, where the
storms of the winter were always
causing trouble.
The station at North Yakima is to
be a central point between Seattle
and Spokane and will be among the
first of the many that will be in
