GRAIN BUYERS
MAKE ili BIG } PROFITS
J. c. LAWRENCE, RAILROAD COM
MISSIONER SAYS THERE Is :
NO COMPETITION.

SEATTLE, Feb. S.-J. c. Lawrence.
Of the state railroad commission, who
elared that the. plan Of President Louis
w. Hill. Of the Great Northern, to in
duce one or more capitalists to engage
in the grain buying and exporting BUSH
ness in Washington, means enormous
benefit to the farmers of the state.
AT present there is little or no COM
petition in grain buying" said Mr..
Lawrence. land the margins taken by
the exporters are vastly greater than
in the middle states. Practically all OF
the grain bought in Washington for
export was obtained on a 10-cent mar
gin or more. In North Dakota and Min
nesota, two cents is considered suffi--
cient.
Il look to see number Of bulk grain
warehouses built along the line of the
Great Northern this year, and some on
the Northern Pacific. With real compe-
tition in the field and with grain
handled in bulk the farmers would be
relieved Of serious burdens. ~.
Il do not believe that the bulk grain
plan will be adopted all at once
throughout. the state. That would mean
the outlay of millions. for new ware
houses. However. we shall ultimately
come to that system. 1872 ,
II have kept closely in touch with the
grain situation in this state and noted
a condition. this season that does not
ordinarily exist The millers have
found it more profitable to sell to the
exporters than to- grind the wheat Or
dinarily more than half the crop is
ground into -four in this state. With
the millers selling to the exporters this
competition. which existered in ordi-
nary years, was eliminated. The result
was that the margins exacted by the
buyers was enormous.
IF Mr.. Hill purposes getting men
with means to~enter the grain business,
benefits will be obtained that could be
secured in no other way. also believe

1t is highly improbable that the
Waila Walla County Fair association
will accept the dates apportioned at
the Portland meeting, October 1924.
Secretary Johnson who attended the
meeting of the Northwest Racing as
ISOLATION was dissatisfied with the
dates and announced that the Walla
Waila association would withdraw
from the northwest circuit and give an
Independent meet. The directors of the
association feel that the Walia Walla
dates are set too late in the season
when there is always danger Of in
clement weather interfering with the
racing. Secretary johnson will not re-
turn to Waila Walia until next Tues
day when he will lay the matter be-
fore the fair directors.

BETTER THAN SPANKING

Spanking does not cure children of
bedwetting. There is constitutional
cause for this trouble. Mrs. M. Sum-

send free to any mother her successful
home treatment, with full instructions.
Send no money but write her today If
your children trouble you in this way.
Don't blame the child, the chances are
it can't help it. This treatment also
cures adults and aged people troubled
with urine difficulties by day or night.

BAKER MINISTERS
IN HUMBLE MOOD
MAKE PUBLIC APOLOGY TO JUDGE
ENTHUSIASTICALLY OF
aPiNk CIRCULAR"

BAKER CfTY, Feb. s.ETilse the-:cai
with nine lives. the pink" circular re
fuses to die Attempts have been made
to chloroform it. and forget the whole
transaction. but that also has failed te
work. Several times each day, either
the circular or its contents can be
heard as the subject of discussion. The
little pink nissives have become So
scarce that it is uncommon to see two
bit and four-bit pieces offered for one
when it is placed in sight.
! Now. however. the pendulum is
swinging the ~t.ier way. Some one
has taken the trouble to look UP facts
upon which they have. based an in
vestigation, with the result that the
Ministers association sent the follow
ing statement. duly signed by each
member Of that body. to the Herald
ment. verbatim:
Ministers Explain.
I We. the Ministers association. have
become thoroughly convinced that the
charges in the circular against Judge
Smith are untrue and therefore has
ten to correct the same. We are con.
WINGED of the error for the following
reasons:
We obtained a friendly interview
with Judge Smith, after which we
made further careful investigation.
We find two of the well known attor-
neys Of the Fuller case who gave US
the unqualified declaration that dur
ing the second trial Of the Fuller case,
the trial in question, Judge Smiths
conduct was absolutely irreproachable.
Also the Jurors as far as interviewed.
say the same thing. One of the at
torneys in this trial further said that
Judge Smith was the best judge he
ever saw. absolutely fearless and inn
partial.
We further apologize to the judge
and to the public for allowing these
! charges against the judge to get into
our circular for the following reasons:
l. The charges were entirely ir-
relevant to the purpose Of our circu-
lar. Judge Smith believes in the en-
forcement of the laws as much as we
do.
2. We blundered in not seeking an
interview with Judge Smith before
publishing anything against him. We
did interview the other officials whom
we mentioned. The blunder evidently
was made through the hurried man.
ner and limited time in which the
circular was prepared.
3. With humility we confess unfor-
! tunate a thing as the testimony of the
condemned men, Fuller and Parker,
to creep into our circular. We abso-
lutely abhor such a proposition as
! fellowship with criminals in so noble
cause as that of law-enforcement
and civic righteousness.
T. We want nothing but what is
| absolutely clean and fair and just
and true. We want the public to know
that we are in for fair play and that
we are just as fearless and vigorous. to
correct a mistake as we are to push a
righteous campaign against the lawless
open town policy.
We. thank the public for the en-
ceuragement given the movement thus
far. We assure them that they can
depend upon us for fair play.
Respectfully.

A Hopeless Chase.

From the tnlcHso ItSt
Man is proverbially unobservant of
woman's dress. The masculine novelist
heroine is always clad in some soft,
fluffy material which sets off her striking
beauty to perfection while in real life
the husband remembers the cost rather
than the costume. For all this, the sex
has taken note. of one of this season
styles-the big hat-as is made clear by
the following news items:
Alexandria. Va.-The city council has
drafted an ordinance compelling women to
remove their big hats in all public places.
Sioux Falls, S. Dak.-The trustees of a
local church are to spend $50 for the in
stallation of a hatroOm on condition that
the women of the congregation remove
their large hats during service.
Nothing could be more chara cteristic of
mans inability to appreciate feminine
ideas than this unleashng Of slow-moving
Justice to overtake the nimble- footed
Dame Fashion. Not that the compulsory
removing of this autumn'S mOnStrOuS hats
Is not an excellent idea-any man who has
sat behind one at the theater knows that
the mushroom is literally the whole
show-but the folly of 1t lies in expecting
u snail to catch swallow. The point is
this: that long before the Virginia law
can be enforced or the South Dakota hat
room finished fashion will have changed
and the mighty headgear of today will
have dwindled to diminutive .'tOque'' or
something like that. and the law and the
hatroOm alike will be useful only for
woman's gbes at man.

TRADE. SCHOOL BETTERMENT
THEME DISCUSSED BY THE MA:
TIoNAL INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY.
Bridgeport Man Urges Advanced
Training for American Boys
and Girls.

ATLANTA. Ga, November 20.-The i'm
provement of trade schools was the theme
of today's discussion of the convention OF
the National Society for the Promotion OF
Industrial Education. A paper prepared
nv F. p. Billiard of Bridgeport, Conn,
said:
"Of approximately 24,OOo.oOO school chill
dren enrolled in public schools in 1907 al
least $4,000. 600 will leave school between
the fifth and sixth grades. :.
Think what this means industrlally-lt
means that every year millions OF Amer
lean boys and girls are turned OUT INTO
world of fierce competition utterly unnt
to compete, into world of splendid OPP
portunities without the training of intel
IectIal power to ena BILE them to take ad-
vantage of those opportunities. Is II
strange that skilled workmen are so few
or that the low wage occupations are SO
overcrowded, or that the armies of unem-
ployed are larger every time that depres-
sion brings them into notice?'
AS a remedy for these cases Mr.. Bull
lards paper advocates carefully devised
apprentice systems which should give the
Young of limited means an opportunity to
learn a trade.
Schoolrooms in Factories.
NJ W. Alexander of Lynn, Mass. said
that large manufacturers should have
schoolrooms in their factories and that
small manufa cturers who could not afford
this should aid their employees to.study In
public schools. Mr.. Alexander said 1t Is
a mistake to believe that boys under six
teen cannot learn trades and that many
boys at fourteen are physically and men.
tally ready for such work.
The paper of George n. Carman of Chi
cage made the point that technical edu-
cation is quite a different matter from
trade education. He said the technical
work might precede or follow trade study
but could not supplant 1T.
Trade schools for girls were discussed
by Miss Florence Marshall of Boston
Girls she said. should not be permitted tc
enter trade schools until the expiration OF
the limit of compulsory school age. This
preca ution. she said. would tend to relieve
some Of the bad effects upon home life
which ensue from too much trade work by
girls.
Tonight especial consideration will be
given to industrial education as 1t affects
the south.

"As our tariffs have heretofore been
