School City Names William Ford Mayor. How
ard Oarrah Chief Of Police and Other Officers

An interesting contest took place at
the Smyrna Public Schools last Friday
when officers were elected to conduct
the School City of Smyrna, the student
government which was inaugurated
with success by Supervising Principal
Burdette several years ago. The
system which places the responsibility
on the students, has been operating
with much good, and at each election,
which is entered into in regular cam
paign fashion, there is more or less
rivalry between students of the High
School for the honor places. The
election Friday afternoon resulted in
William Ford being elected mayor for
the ensuing term. Howard Darrah
was elected ief-of-police; Richard
Holland. Superintendent of Building,
and Clifton Deakyne, Superintendent
of Grounds.

WOMAN ROBS INFANT OF
GOLD RING and ESCAPES

SEATTLE, July 16.-The most de-
spicable thief in the city of Seattle has
made her appearance-for the thief in
this case is a woman who stole ring
from the hand of child in Volunteer
park Saturday afternoon.
The 5-year-old daughter of a resi-
dent of the neighborhood of the park.
was playing in a sand box with some
companions while the child'S mother
was short distance away arranging a
lunch. woman sauntered up to the
box and engaging the child in CONVEX
sati0n asked permission to look at 4
pretty gold ring with a pearl set. For
additional security the ring had been
tied with a thread to the childs fin
ger. The woman won the confidence
of the little girl to the extent that she
permitted the cutting of the thread
with a small knife carried by the thief
would be returned after a little Will.
The little girl later informed hel
mother of the loss. by saying that "the
woman who borrowed my ring forgot
to give it back to me-" Meantime tho
woman had disappeared.
A fairly accurate description of the
woman thief has been obtained by tbs
police.

state could at once obtain title.
The suggestion of the forester may
solve the problem of recovering til,
losses suffered by the state by the
creation of the forest reserves. Land
Commissioner f. w Ross said yester-
day when Pinchot made the sugges-
ton, that it might be possible to work
out the exchange of lands without leg
islative action. In the same manner
Forester Pinchot and Secretary of the
Interior James r. Garfield suggested
that the state might be able to COM
plete its selection of lieu lands and
all losses be made good by the federal
government.
If this plan is adopted, Secretary
Garfield said it will only require 3
few months time to allow the state
to select the remainder of the school
lands The compromise will adjust
the differences between the state and
the government over the forest reserve
policy, but will still be far from allay-
ing the general dissatisfaction over the
reserve policy.

HYBRID WHEAT
At PULLMAN
B|uestem and Turkey Red
Combined in Variety

PULLMAN, Wash, July 16.-The
state college experiment station now
believes it has succeeded in combining
bluestem and turkey red wheat into u
hybrid variety which can be grown
with superior results in the wheat rails
ing districts of Washington. This ex-
pertinent was begun in 1908. and the
purpose in view was to grow W inter
wheat which would lack the boards or
the turkey red, but possess it's at
tractive qualities as a winter wheat.
Bluestem, being valuable as winter
wheat but not we'll adapted for fall
sowing, was crossed with the turkey
red.
The result of a cross produces what
is known as a hybrid" the term SIM
ply meaning a union between two
flowers of plants not of the same Va
riety. In all work of this nature, no
definite results are Obtainable until the
second years growth after the cross
has been made. Since the first cross
was made, in 1908, each year the sta
ton staff has selected the plants that
possessed the characteristics of tle
desired hybrid. Thirteen perfect
plants were obtained from the cross or
1903, and now seventeen thousand or
them are growing.
The hybrid is peculiar in its inter-
mixing of the qualities of bluestem,
and turkey red. The straw grown
favors bluestem, but the leaf forma-
ton is much like that of the turkey
red For this reason Prof. Lawrence,
in charge of the experiment. is not alb
solutely sure that the new wheat will
in every way be adapted to all wheat
raising districts of eastern Washington.
In nearly all instances the kernel fav-
ors the turkey red although in few
instances the grain is white like blue

.EAaL|NG TO INSPECT ROUTE
Milwaukee President to Go Over
land 10 Coast

SEATTLE,> July 16.-President A.
J. Earling ofFthe Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul, will make trip from
Missoula to Seattle over the line OF
the ST PauTS Coast extension, cover
ing the line by team. boat and auto
mobile. He will spend 10 days maxi
ing thorough investigation of the
line and when the trip is completed,
President Earring will have covered
the entire route of his road from
Glenham to Seattle.
H. r. Williams, president of the
Washington corporation which is
building the ST. Paul extension west of
Butte, and Chief Engineer E. ]. Pear
son left Seattle this morning to join
President Earring at Missoula and
make the trip west with him.
From Missoula the railroad party
will drive through the Bitter Root
mountains by team. They will de-
scend the ST. Joe river in a boat, ex
aiming the route laid out for the
road through the valley of the st. Joe
river. At Tekoa, Wash. the party
will be met by automobiles and viii!
follow the right of way to Ind or the
Columbia river.
Teams probably will have to ID,
taken from the crossing of the CO.
cascade mountains and down the Ce-
dar river valley TO Maple Falls. The
party is expected to come into Seat
tie over the Columbia & Puget Sound,
which will be used from Maple VAL
ley to Seattle.
Most of the trip President Earling
will make can be undertaken comfort
ably, but if his examination is as
thorough as railroad officials expect
it, he may have to cover a part of the
trip on horseback Ten days time
being allowed for the ride will brins
the party into Seattle about July 81.
In the eastern part of the state the
trip will be the hardest, for the
weather is hot and the roads are dus
ty. Though the mountain ride will be
rougher, the weather is not so severe
and it can be made more comfo-t.-
ably.

"CUTICURA REMEDIES A
HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

"Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent physl-
clan for an obstinate case OF eczema,
/ resorted to the Cuticura Remedies.
and was so well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuti-
cura Remedies her feet and limbs were
covered with running sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence OF
the trouble.
"In July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
amounting them with the Cuticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up. SO we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
