would prefer the carnival to take
unless it could be held the same week
which the club is unwilling to do.
Besides the site on Spokane street,
one at Third and Birch was proposed.
This met with disfavor on account
of the lack of pavement which would
make it unfit for service in case of
rain, although it was thought a sub
sidy would be secured from the brew
cry
The site on Spokane street is ideal.
AS yet there is little business or. the
street at the place designated and one
of those most interested there, ex-
pressed himself as willing to sacri-
flee his interests for the good of the
cause.
Messrs. Turner. Herring and Moore
were appointed a committee on site.
In the matter of attractions as
much. local talent as possible will be
utilized. Cigars, confetti. popcorn.
candy and chewing gum will be sold
exclusively by those who made their
start that way half "a century ago.
A carnival king and queen will reign
over the festival and it is planned to
have monster corona tion scene.
This will be held on the steps of the
Y. NJ. c. A. building if possible.
Every member of the committee is
enthusiastic and full of good plans
and helpful suggestions and if the
Walla Walla street carnival is not a
success l. will not be the fault of
work and brains.

.NEWMACH|NE STACKS SACKS

AS the harvest season progresses

preparations for the handling of the
thousands of sacks of grain which
will roll in from every direction. The
most popular improvement being in

is the McGahey sack piler,, recent in
ventiOn now being manufactured by
the Severance Broughton company of
this city.

with block and tackle arrangement
this machine will pile more grain than
four men can handle and heavy lifting
is done away with. The piler is OPP

One of these sack pliers has been

AID is working d revolution in the
handling of grain. Those who have
seen it in operation say the machine
IS the greatest labor saving invention
introduced into the warehouse bust

The ease with which the Fairbanks
Morse engine handles the heavy loads
is one of the remarkable features OF
the machinery. This season alone the
John Smith company has sold 80 of
the two horsepower Fairbanks Morse
gasoline engines besides a number of
the larger sizes.
All over the Wal1a Walla valley the
Fairbanks Morse gasoline engines are
being used. not only in warehouses;

TEST BRAINS OF PUPILS
New Method to Determine Needs
Of Children

The school authorities of New York
have had their attention called to an
invention called the ergograph. which
is warranted to determine the real
cause for a pupils backwardness in
his studies.
\ When the Ounce of the class re-
marks casually that two and two make
five, the horror stricken teacher Iced
no longer throw the blackboard at
him, asserts one writer. Instead he
can test him by ergograph and find
whether overstudy or too much play
IS the cause.
The new instrument is a German
invention and is said to have been
tried successfully in the London
schools.
According to the description the
forearm of the child is clamped to the
table that holds the apparatus. Then
the hand is secured. only the middle
finger being left free. This isolated
finger is places in steel box ana
the pupil fiexes the muscles as long
as he can, setting wheels and springs
at work with the result that sus-
pended weight lifts with each effort.
There is an Indicator, whose marks
ascend from five to 500. The child
that succeeds in pressing the indica-
tor to the highest point invariably
turns out to be a bright boy.
If Johnny arrives in the morning
feeling so fit that he can push the in
Dictator up to 100, and in the even
ir.g can get it only half as far, the
inference is that Johnny needs less
study and more fresh air, or. per-
haps. better food and more of it.
The ergograph does not confine its
revelations to children.
