Try An Experiment

It has been said that the man or
woman who can read all of the want
ads in a newspaper without finding
one that stirs a little personal in
terest, or appeals to him or her In
any way, Is without human interest
or needs.
Whether or not this is true, 1t may
prove an interesting experiment for
anyone, not already in the habit of
reading the classified ads, to look
them over carefully for one day. 1t
may help you to learn how far you
have drifted from 'the ways of the
world far a1oof you may be
living from the small occasions and
affairs of the days life.

HIGH SCHOOL CONTESTS
InterschOlastic Meet to Be in Pull
man May 1O-11 Among High
School Representatives

PULLMAN. March 9.-On May
10-11 representatives from thirty
accredited high schools of both east
ern and western Washington, will
meet in Pullman, where they will
participate in the InterschOlastic
Contests, given each year under the
auspices of the Washington State
College. The following institutions
are expected to send representatives:
The high schools at Aberdeen, Bel
bingham, Centralia, Charleston, Col
fax, Davenport, Dayton, Ellensburg,
Everett, Garfield, Goldendale, Lewis
ton, North Yakima, Oaksdale. Olym-
pia, Palouse, Pomeroy, Prosser, Ritz
vile, Seattle, Spokane, Sprague, Sun
nyside, Tacoma, Walla Walla, Water
vile and Wenatchee. Waistburg,
Washington, will have both her acad-
envy and high school represented.
Correspondence received from the
high schools by Professor Charles
Timblin, chairman of the committee
in charge, indicates that the attend
ance in visitors and contestants this
year will nearly double the attend
ance of last year, or the year prev
ious. The Spokane high school ex-
poets to send four hundred, includ-
ing visitors and athletes, and smaller
towns are sending in proportionately
large estimates of the number of Wis.,
itors and athletes they expect to
send. Subscriptions for the conduct
of the meet to- the amount of $1,000
have been raised among the students
and faculty of the college, and bust
ness men of Pullman. This amount
added to the gate receipts which,
judging from the past two years
should be nearly $500, will be
spent by the committee for trophies
and medals, and in paying incidental
expenses of the meet.

Goats a Side Issue.

Dan Weaver received three full
blooded registered Angora goats
from Helena, Mont, this week,
which he took out to his farm near
the city. They are the offsprings of
two South African bucks, whose mo-
hair recently was sold for $3.50 a
pound, bringing $266.50, there be-
ing Al pounds in one clipping. The
shortest mohair was II inches and
the longest % inches. The goats re-
ceived by Mr.. Weaver are three of
the finest specimens in the state, and
may mark the opening of an extern
sive industry in this vicinity. Mr..
Weaver is exceptionally fortunate in
stock raising. He has eve on his
farm which recently gave birth to
three lambs, being the second addi-
ton to her family within a year,
having given birth to four last June.
Such ambition is audable.-Cheney

ARE WE NEGLECTING SOME
THING

Wenatchee and tributary country
is making great strides along the
lines of material development.
But while we are making this rapid
development is it not true that we
in this city are neglecting something:
1t is said that North Yakima, a
city very like our own in many ways,
does not have single park within it's
limits. North Yakima is now a city
of II 900 inhabitants. Wenatchee is
now a city of less than one third that
size, but it is only question of a
very few years till we have attained
to the same size.
Wenatchee has one small park. II
is veritable little oasis in the hot
weather Not day or evening passes
in the summer but that it is throng-
ed with people.
Is it not true that the people of
Wenatchee are forgetting to secure
small tracts near the city which in a
few years may become beauty spots
of the city. Would it not be of adj
vantage to secure a number of tracts
the same size as the park now in the
city for future use. Instead of having
one large park outside of town would
it not be better to secure a number
of small ones throughout the several
additions.
The columns of this newspaper are
open for a discussion of this or any
other question of public interest.

Okanogan Horticulturists Convene

The horticulturists of Okanogan
county have organized themselves in
to an association having for its OBJ
ject the promotion and protection of
the fruit industry in that section.
The Okanogan Record has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the con-
vention:
The meeting Of the Okanogan Hor-
ticultural association at Okanogan.
Saturday, forecasts great future for
the fruit-growing industry of the
county. A number of excellent pa
pers were read and the proceedings
throughout indicated that the men,
bers of the association are alive to
the interests and appreciate the i'm
portance of getting started right.
The attendance was large and
would have been larger had not the
date set unfortunately conficted
with the annual school meeting.
At the next meeting, which will be
held in June. it is hoped to have an

opposition to It on the part Of those
who would be adversely effected
should it become . law.
The Torrens land system is good
one. which makes slow progress In
adoption In the United States owing
to the lack Of general interest In it.
Yet it is a reform Of the highest pos
sible value in insuring certainty Of
title to lands and In facilitating and
making expensive their transfer. It
is certain of adoption whenever the
public awakens to its advantages.
The Washington legislature would
probably perform valuable public
duty if it should introduce the sys-
tenn now instead of waiting the time
when the public demand for the in
stitution of the reform becomes SO
great that it will no longer be polit-
ically safe to pass the question by.
Briefly, the Torrens land system
permits of the owner of a piece Of
real property proving his title before
a registrar and having the title re-
corded in his own name. A title so
recorded is impregnable to an attack
thereafter. Transfers of title there
after are effected by simple entry
of the fact upon the registration
books, without the passage Of deeds,
without examination of title by at
torneys and without securing and
paying for an elaborate abstract, Civ
ing details of every instrument in
the chain of title from the time OF
the original patent.
The system is simple, safe, eco
nomical and efficient. It. violates
hoary traditions, renders unneces-
sary the services of attorneys or con-
veyancers in transferring real prop
erty, reduces the volume of public
records to an absolute minimum, les
sens the number of tax-eating public
servants in the same process and de-
prives abstractors of title of the very
profitable business which they have
created through making transcripts
of portions of the public records.
Incidentally and by reason of the
facts cited above, it relieves those
who buy or sell real property from
the enormous volume of unnecessary
tax which they pay to private in
dividuals to carry out transfers UNI
der the present crude, cumbersome
and antiquated system.
If the Torrens system were in eff
feet transfers of real property could
be effected at 1.-THE of the present
cost. The interests opposed to the
adoption of the system are compact,
organized and represent very small
fraction of the public. They are
alert to their own interests, which
would be injured by a simplifica-
ton of land transfers. The public
at large groans over the cost of the
present expensive system of trans
ferring lands, but does not seem
awakened to the fact that. when the
legislature chooses to act, the simple,
cheap system can readily be put into
effect.-P. 1.

More Than One Syndicate.

The Standard lays great deal of stress and uses up a great deal of space, regarding the feeling that ex- ,s,s In Imperial against Fl Centro. In rder to divert the attention of the reader from the Pauln outfit to whom that paper Is responsible for its pres ent existence. he howls about a Red ands syndicate. Of course. # the Im- per.al Land Go. or the Imperial I'm prove ment company or the Psulin click. under any other name from the ones they have at different times as sumed. were interested In Fl Centro, Howe would not be allowed to say any thing Howe has yet to explain why a RedIands syndicate, as he calls It, is any worse than Paulr syndicate It is not the purpose of the Press to cry down any good thing PauIin or anyone associated with him has ever done but inc spirit of progresslveness Is not so largely progressed by these people as by great many others who later on came to the valley.
 The men who go ahead and develop new business and father the industries that are to be the main stay and sup port of the valley. are great deal m ore to be praised than those who try 10 grab off all there Is in sight and get all they can for nothing. Those who are putting money into the valley are the ones who are doing the most good, and the ones who are taking It out as fast as they can are doing the valley an injury. Fl Centro Is not doing Im- perial the least harm in the world and If the town Is suffering harm, either real or imaginary. It would be well for ihe editor of the Standard 10 look within the town Itself for the cause.

The COrpse Plant.

The corpse plant is a remarkable carnivorous specimen that grows in the colony of Natal. Its principal feature is bell shaped mouth, with a throat opening into hollow stem, It is almost black and covered with a thick. glutinous secretion, while It's odor is very offensive. This attracts carrion feeding birds to 1t, and once they alight on it they are lost. Their claws become entangled in the secre- tion, the bell shaped mouth folds up, and they are literally swallowed.

BEES IN WARFARE.
Two Instances In Which the insects
 Were used as Weapons.

History records two instances in which bees have been used in warfare as weapons against besieging forces. The first Is related by Appian of the siege of Themiscyra in Pontus, by Lu culus In his war against Mithridates. Turrets were brought up. mounds were built, and huge mines were made by the Romans. The people of Themis- cyra dug open these mines from above and through the holes cast down upon the workmen bears and other wild animals and hives or swarms Of bees.
 The second instance is recorded in an Irish manuscript in the Bibliotheque Royale at Brussels and tells how the Danes and Norwegians attacked Chcs ter, which was defended by the SaXons and some GalliC auxjlarjes. The Danes were worsted by stratagem. but the Norwegians, sheltered by hurdles, tried to pierce the walls of the town when what the SaXons and the Gaeidhil who were among them did was to throw down large rocks, by which they broke down the hurdles over their heads" What the others did to check this was to place large posts under the hurdles.
 What the Saxons did next was to put all the beer and water of the town into the caldrons of the town and boil them and spill them down upon those who were under the hurdles, so that their skins were peeled off. The remedy which the Lochlans applied to this was to place hides outside on the hurdles. What the Saxons did next was to throw down all the beehives in the town upon the besiegers, which pre- vented them from moving their hands or legs from the number of bees which stung them. They afterward desisted and left the city.

INTO ETERNITY WITHOUT WARNING.
Young Man Thrown From Buggy and
Instantly Killed

One o. the most distressing accidents
that has come to our attention occurred
on the Denas Miller hill northwest of
Cashton, last Sunday. Driving down the
same in single buggy was Christian
Lucason, his sister and Miss Aas. The
horse they were driving became sud-
denly frightened, gave a quick lunge,
throwing Lucason over the dashboard
landing on the ground upon his head,
killing him almost instantly. Miss
Lucason managed 90 escape from the
vehicle without injury, Miss Aas was
thrown between the wheel and buggy
box and her clothing was wound so
tightly about the axle that it had the
effect of impeding the progress of the
horse and he stopped after running a
few rods. The young people were driv-
ing to Melvina TO spend the day with a
sister of the victim of the accident.
Deceased was son of Lars Lucason,
who resides a mile west of Cashton,
was twenty-five years old, said to be an
exemplary young man. Hewas to have
been married to Miss Aas within a few
DAYS.
