to devote one secession of the next

OF the topic of seed improvement.
The agitation Of this subject Is es-
pecially important because the
farmers of Washington have trust

of the soil for satisfactory yields and

Crop Practically Sold.

Walla Walla.-Grain buyers esti-
mate that today there Is less grain
on hand in this county than there
has been in many years at the open
ing Of December. Farmers general
ly have sold out and many OF the
warehouses are entirely empty. In
a few of the Farmers union houses
large crops are being held by veal
thy farmers. but the amount OF
grain thus kept from market is
small in the aggregate. Not more
than 20 per cent Of the grain OF
the county remains unsold.
Usually there is a movement Of
grain about the first Of the year
when storage charges begin. and
when farmers generally try to close
up the business for the year. De-
cember will likely not show that
movement of grain this year. az II
seems to be the intention OF farm
ers holding to keep their grain until
spring.

Placing the Value.

Edward Everett Hale was one Of
the guests at a New York million
aires dinner. The millionaire was
free spender, but he wanted full
credit for every dollar he put out.
And as the dinner progressed he told
his guests what the expensive dishes
had cost. "This terrapin," he would
say, "was shipped direct from Bal
timore. A Baltimore cook came on
to prepare it. The dish actually
cost dollar teaspoonful." So he
talked Of the other courses. He
dwelt especially on the expense Of
the large and beautiful grapes. He
told, down to a penny, what he lad
figured it out that the grapes had
cost him apiece. The guests looked
annoyed. They ate the expensive
grapes sparingly. But DR.. Hale,
Emilingly, extended his plate and
said, "Would you mind cutting me
off about S1.S7 worth more, please?'

Philologists claim that some OF
the most interesting phases OF ?
language may be traced through n
medium of so called colloquialism
end idioms. and consideration O.
the phrase you al" as used
throughout the south, would Ger
tainly seem TO m ke good this AS
sertion. The sue is treated in
Uncle Remus' Magazine in an arti-
rle by c. Alphonso Smith of the
University OF North Carolina. He
says in part:
"In almost every discussion of
this idiom the disputants have con-
fined themselves 10 the question,
is it used in the south as a singu-
lar?' Northern writer's have gem
orally supported the Affirmative,
while southern writers have defend
ed the negative. In fact, Mason
and Dixon's line will have to be re-
traced and made to mark not po-
Ltical but an idiomatic distinction.
The shibboleth is no longer, What
do you think Of slavery or secession
or state rights? but, On the con-
tested use of you all are you for the
singular or for the plural?
southern people undoubtedly
use you all in sense particularly
their own and not as the equiva-
lent of all of you.
"What, then, is the distinctive
meaning attached to this idiom in
the south? What makes the phrase
a provincialism as used in the
south, but not proyincialism as
used elsewhere? The following
sentences will illustrate:
"First.-A mother to her chill
dren, If you all (you children) don't
make less noise, I'll send you to
bed
"Second.-A teacher TO his pu-
pills, you all you pupils haven't
half studied this lesson
"In not one of these characters
tic sentences would a southerner
ever think Of substituting all Of you
for you all. Both idioms are plural,
but the distinctive thing about
southern you all is not its plural
sense, but its representative sense,
together with the accent on you.
"You all, therefore, with the ac-
cent on you, is not an error for
you all, with the accent on all, or
for all of you.
at is something entirely differ
ent. The standard you all and all
Of you are employed as frequently
in the south as elsewhere, the dis
tinctive you all supplying a desid-
eratum not furnished by either OF
the other two phrases. Joel Chan
der Harris writes as follows:
"'You may say without any hest
