A girl who is brought up to earn
her own living never will "just set
tie down to nothing" She will I'M
derstand the value Of money, having
earned it. and can give her husband
wise counsel and sympathy in his
business difficulties. She can take
entire charge of the money expended
for the house and do it in such BUSH
ness-like way that it will give her
infinite satisfaction. If her hus-
band dies, she will be able to do
something toward the supper of her
self and children. And we think a
woman who has sense and intelli-
gence enough to be self supporting is
always more respected by her hus-
band and everyone.

HOW THE MILK SITUATION
LINES UP NOW

There are 169 different farmers
and dairy men engaged in the bus
mess of providing Spokane's milk
supply, yet the distribution of the
supply is in the hands of prac.
tically four diaries, which control
the price not only to the consumer
but the price paid the producer.
The margin between the two is
over 100 per cent for the middle
man. He gets a bigger price for
distributing the milk than the man
who feeds and milks the COW gets
for producing the milk in the first
instance.
There is certain standard
which 10 used in testing the con
dition of milk COWS and the man

kept and the milk handled. An ex-
animation of the score cards at the

II is high time that many places
in Spokane were being subjected

tative of malignant disease. Back
yards and front yards, area ways

WHERE DID Ed

Profound Mystery Sur
rounds His Disap-
pearance.

Profound mystery surrounds
the disappearance of Ed Smith,
age 49 years, from his home at
sig Mcclellan street, since De-
cember 10. His description was
given to the police last night
by his relatives, and officers
are searching for some trace Of
him today. So far they have
been unable to learn where he
went after leaving his home.
The fact that Smith is not
drinking man increases the
mystery of his case, and by
some it is feared that he has
fallen a victim Of foul play,
though so far the officials have
found no indication of such.
When last seen, Smith wore
dark coat and light brown soft
hat. He is described as being
about five feet, seven inches
tall, medium build, medium
complexion, black hair, gray
eyes and wore light eoiored
mustache.

Committee Finds Bad Condi
tions at Sprague Ave.
"Fill."

The special committee of the city
council that has been investigating
the collapse Of the Sprasue avenue
fill have come upon information
that tends to prove the generally
accepted theory that the city has
been badly biIked in the juggling Of
the fill plans after they were ap-
proved by the city council. The
committee consists of Councilmen
Mohr, Shaefer and Cartwright.
Part of this record is the original
plan of the fill, showing heavy pill
ing and concrete layers on top, with
the approval of ]. c. Ralston, city
engineer, written on the plan. Mr..
Ralston has recently denied that
the original plan contained any pill
ing or concrete base.
Another item of Importance is the
discovery of the contract made by
the Warehouse Realty Co. with
Heutter & Zirngbill, subcontractors
on the fill, which provided for the
installation og the piling and con-
crete
Fl This piling and concrete, which
contractors who figured on the
work estimated to be worth $4,000,
was knocked out of the plan for a
rebate to the city of only $500
Another phase of the case that
the committee has come across is
the filling of a portion of the fill
with earth, thereby doing away
with the rock wall which saved the
contractors quite large sum.
Some of the city officials have
been trying to get the committee
TO hush" the fill situation. with a
plea that it meant the loss of law
suit for the city But the council
men are stirred up and before the
case is dropped the entire facts
about the jugglery performed by

Chicago, Feb. 19:-The celebration OF
the centenary OF Cyrus Hall McCor-

has called forth striking tribute from
Robert H Parkinson. who said
He found the methods and impIe-
ments of agriculture hardly less prirui-
tive than in the time of the Pharaohs
and Homer. In 1851 he took his reaper
to the Worlds exposition at London
When first seen there it was the sub
ject of ridicule and referred to as a
cross between a chariot, a small wheel
barrow. and a flying machine but when
tested in the field it astonished the
jury and spectators, and the grand
prize, the council medal was awarded
to IL as the most valuable contribution
to the exposition He carried it 10
France and other countries of Conti-
mental Europe, where it met with sim
liar success
1T has made possible the great grain
fields of this country
IF the homage due the departed is to
be measured by what they have done
to ameliorate the condition of human
ity. to tighten its burdens. and advance
its welfare. Cyrus Hail Mccormick is
worthy of any tribute We pay him.
