Gently an agent was selling to Pull

eight times what as good ones along
side the State College would cost.
Another Seattle agent was selling So
called "bonds" which were not bonds
at all, but agreements to give the pur-
chaser a share in the net profits of his
money if any profits should arise, but
did not agree in any way to become
responsible for the principal. Some

One of the advantages of the col
lege to Pullman will be seen next
week when the people are given an OPP
portunity to attend the various enter
tanning features of the May Musical
Festival. The Festival will open
Wednesday, May LIST, and will attract
hundreds of people to the city during
the three days it continues. Special
excursion rates have been made on all
roads. Six choruses will come from
outside towns to join with the local
singers.

A couple of years ago an ordinance
was passed by the city council making
it unlawful to erect signs over the
sidewalks, the only sign permitted
under the law being one that did not
extend more than three feet out from
the Building, aud that to hang not less
than ten feet from the walk. The
business men went to considerable ex-
pense IN complying with this ordin-
ance, which all agree was a most
proper one. and we are sure that the
present council, believing as it does
in the enforcement of law, will be
glad to have its attention called to the
fact that the sign ordinance is lust as
wholesome now as it ever was, and
that its provisions are just as binding
as they were two years ago. Public
safety and municipal beauty were
the reasons for the enactment of the
ordinance.

The new direct primary law con-

Herald is in direct accord, and which
bears out the Herald's position during
the last general campaign. The new
law prohibits newspaper from accept

many of them have been in the habit
of giving heretofore. Some of the

fact that the legislature makes the
policy into law.

LIBRARY TO RUN IN THIS WAY

Progressive Wishes of
Cinnamon.

During the past year or two there
China was awakening to western
ideas and progress, and this fact is
emphasized by the action of the orr
entails at WI Chang, China, who
want library run on the American
plan, and which when it is started
will be the first of it's kind in the Ce-
lestfal kingdom
In furtherance of the plans, Miss
Elizabeth Wood has come back to this
country and become a student in the
library school at Pratt institute to fit
herself to become director of the pro-
posed library Miss Wood has been
granted years leave of absence by
the board of Episcopal missions, with
which she has been connected for
seven years, and has left her classes
In the mission school there, in order
to learn how to put her little begin
ming of library into good shape for
her Chinese pupils. In time it is the
hope of the Americans in WI Chang
to start public library, but for the
present it will be connected with
Boone college, which is a part of the
mission there.
The city of WI Chang is a phenom-
enal one on account of the great
strides 1t has taken along the lines of
education. 1t is known as the Dos
ton or China" and is the center of
western learning in that country In
Iact, 1t is the most Americanized of
all the Chinese cities. 1t is situated

there are over a million inhabitants.
WI Chang can boast of 10000 stu
dents who daily go to the great
schools there to learn what the west
has to teach to the east There is
little of the old eastern learning
taught. Twenty thousand soldiers are
also among the citizens of WI
Chang.
Miss Wood, in speaking of her work
the other day, said:
