Woody found himself in queer PIE
dicament when he made application
to prove up on his homestead a few
weeks ago and for a while was some

outcome would be. His proof how

Office, word of which action was re-

Mr. Woody located on a Windy
Hill homestead five years ago this
summer. He prepared the land and
cultivated it, built fences, erected a
house, barn and other buildings, and
made various and many improve

are supposed to do. Permanent sur

made until a few weeks before Or.

POULTRY RAISERS
REGISTER A KICK
Say That They are Being Treated I'm
fair by Commission Men-FOrm
Association.

SEATTLE, July 26.-Farmers and
poultrymen of the state of Washing
ton are vigorously protesting against
the manner in which their business
has been handled by the commission
merchants of Western avenue. The
dissatisfaction has taken the form of
an organized movement for the for
nation of cooperative association
among the producers to sell to the
consumers direct, and to ignore the
middle men altogether.
The matter was thoroughly dis
cussed at an open meeting of poultry
raisers which followed the regular
meeting of the King County Poultry
mems Association at the Chamber OF
Commerce last night. A committee
was appointed to agitate the propo-
sition, and a collection sufficient to
defray the expenses incidental to the
work of organization was taken up.
Twenty-Five poultry fanciers and
commercial poultrymen were pres
ent. When the regular meeting was
adjourned and the open session be-
gan every one had something to say.
Without making direct charges
against the commission merchants,
more than half dozen speakers de-
clared tina. the poultry raisers were
not treated fairly by the commission
men of Western avenue, and that re-
dress only was to be found in the
formation of an association that
would directly represent the men
bringing the poultry to the market.

POSITION OF RECHABITES.
Mr.. John C. Moore Outlines Attitude
on Prohibition Crusade.

The nrobable attitude of the Independe mt
Order of Rechabites in the contest be-
tween the local "drys" and ''wets" for
and against prohibition in the District of
Columbia was set forth today by Mr.
John c. Moore, past high chief ruler Of
the order. He said:
zone of the cardinal principles of the
Independent Order of Rechabites is to
eschew political questions and parties in
their temperance work. The Rechabites
believe in and practice moral suasion In
their efforts to better humanity, asserting
that if enough men and women can bs
induced to abandon the drinking habit
the saloon would be forced out of busi-
ness through lack of patronage. They do
not ostrdciSe the saloon keeper or his
family. but consider them IN the cate
CORY of persons needing the Influences Of
their organization. and as especial Oh
jeCts for moral Su3Sfon-

who have abandoned the saloon business,

keepers are also on the rolls. or course,

abites. for with the constant temptation
of the saloon removed their work would

true sentiment of the residents of this
ascertain the sentiments of the people of
the District upon this all-important ques-
ton it would seem more proper to allow
all residents of legal age to vote upon It,
regardless of sex and regardless of the
fact that they are not taxpayers.
The question at issue Is not a peliti-
cal but a social one, affecting the home,
the happiness and the prosperity of this
community; therefore. 1t seems but just
that the women Of the District. who are
probably more vitality affected by the
liquor traffic than from any other cause,
should not be debarred from voicing their
sentiments upon this subject.
I'm Kansas and some other western
states,>where questions involving domes-
ticity, such as schools, liquor, etc, are
concerned, women are allowed an express
sion of opinion by ballot upon the ques-
tions at issue.
"Of course, the procedure of allowing
women to vote on the pending liquor
question would meet with strenuous OBJ
lection on the part Of those opposed TO
prohibition, but as We are all practically
a disfranchised people in this District, and
if the proposition to vote upon the ques-
ton was adopted by Congress such
proposition would then resolve itself into
the nature of amnesty, and there is
no reason why this amnesty should not
be extended to men and women alike
1t would mean the death of the saloon N

timent of the residents Of the District
would. be obtained.

ing a monopoly of the liquor business

the issuing of any license to sell com

homes and lives of their friends ana

continued.

The long g-esta ablished branch of King s
Palace, located at 715 Market space, was
closed today. This store has been in op-
Grafton for twenty-five years and during all
this time had been run by the same firm.
The recent enlargement Of the main store
of Kings Palace, s10-S16 7th street north
west. accounts for the discontinuance of
the branch. In the future all the bust
ness will be conducted under one roof,
where ample facilities are provided to ac-
commodate largely increased number of
patrons.
All the salespeople of the branch will
be transferred to the main store.
Kings Palace is classed as one of the
few Washington stores that are conducted
by native Observation-Disclosures who have
grown up with the city and are closely
associated with its interests. For nearly
half a century Kings Palace has been a
landmark in the retail circles of the citv.
The growth of the establishment has kept
pace with the passing of the years.
Originally a millinery house exclusively,
new departments have been added from
time to time so that now 1t is modern
department store in every meaning of the
word The patrons of the branch store
will be welcomed at the main store, and
are guaranteed courtesy and considera-
ton.
