HOUSE MOVES: May
KNOCK TREE DOWN

Edward ]. Cooper this morning
was considerably wrought up over
the advent of a big house which
is being moved on North G street
and which threatened to destroy
a fine tree in front of his home on
the sidewalk.
The building was being taken
up the street by Bryan & McDou-
gall and it was so wide that it
extended over the curb and would
have destroyed half of a fine shade
tree.
Commissioner McGregor was
appealed to by both Mr.. Cooper
and the house-moving firm. He
went out to look the situation over
and will probably have the kitchen
taken off the house so 1t can go
up the street without damaging
property.

Ways to Improve.
Under our system, 1t Is helpful
to promote discussion of ways in
which the people can help them
selves. There are three main di-
rections in which the farmers can
help themselves; namely, better
farming, better business, and bet
ter living on the farm. The ma
tional department of agriculture,
which has rendered services
equaled by no other similar de-
partment in any other time or
place; the state departments of
agriculture; the state colleges of
agriculture and the mechanic
arts, especially through their ex-
tension work; the state agricultur-
|al experiment stations; the Far
mers' union; the Grange; the ag-
ricultural press; and other similar
agencies; have all combined to
place within the reach of the
American farmer an amount and
quality of agricultural information
which, If applied, would enable
him, over large areas, to double
the production of the farm.
The object of the commission
on country life therefore is not to
help the farmer raise better crops,
but to call his attention to the
opportunities for better business
and better living on the farm.
Cooperation Needed.
Those engaged in all other in
dustrial and commercial callings
have found it necessary, under
modern economic conditions, to
organize themselves for mutual
advantage and for the protection
Iof their own particular interests
in relation to other interests. The
farmers of every progressive Eu-
Iropean country have realized this
essential fact and have found in
the cooperative system exactly the
form of business combination they
need.
Now whatever the state may do
toward improving the practice of
agriculture, it Is not within the
sphere of any government to re-
Organize the farmers business or
reconstruct the social life of farm
ing communities. 1t Is, however,
quite within it's power to use its
influence and the machinery of
publicity which it can control for

thinking of his boy, and as the
little fellow stepped down from
the stand he turned to him with a
smile that contained no resent
ment, and extended his hand al
most bashfully toward him.
1t was a heart-sickening story
that the boy told; all that re-
claims it is the fact that the slain
woman was his mother and the
man on trial his father. 1t was
the story of his parents regular
nightly squabble. This time the
unexpected happened. The wife
struck the husband harder than
she intended. The husband in
anger struck back with all his
strength. The wife fell. Her
head struck against the door
jamb. When he picked her up her
skull was fractured, and she was
dying.
And then Holmes looked up and
saw that his son, whom he
thought in bed, stood there look
ing at him. Don't say anything,

TO PLACE FLORIDA
In RACKS OF "DRYS"

(By United Press Leased Wtre.)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 8.
Plans for placing Florida in the
ranks of the dry" states of the
South are being made today by
delegates to the State Anti-Saloon
league convention. The opening
session will be held tonight and
three sessions will be held here to-
morrow. AS a result of the con-
vention fight for statewide pro-
hibition will be made in the Flori-
da legislature. Such measure
will not be passed without a strug-
gle, however, as the liquor deal
ers of Florida are wealthy and in
fiuential and carry on an extensive
shipping business to Georgia.
Every effort will be made to
have Florida placed in the ranks
of prohibition with Georgia, North
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi
and Tennessee.

AGITATION IN
OREGON

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SALEM, Ore, Feb. 9.-After a
poll was taken of the Oregon leg
islature last night, it developed
that wghile the senate does not
favor the anti-Japanese legislation
there are enough members in the
house favorable to excluding the
subjects of the mikado to make
the topic live one. At least one
fourth of the house members are
anti-Japanese and they will do
everything possible to assist in
the passage Of the Bailey resolu-
ton, should it reach the house.
Senator Bailey has collected a
mass of statistics, with which he
intends discussing the exclusion
question.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 9.-Two fist
fights on the floor of the house
took place as a result of the local
option fight last evening between
Representative Macarthur of Spo-
kane and a Spokane newspaper
man named Joe Smith. Macarthur
said Smith had misrepresented
him and had snatched a petition
from Spokane people, against the
passage of the local option bill,
from his hands. Smith swung and
hit the legislator ON the jaw,
sending him to the floor. Joe
Wilson separated the pair and
Smith left the room. When he
came back for his hat, Macarthur
went at him and evened up mat
tiers by giving the newspaper man
bad black eye before the SER
geant-at-arms restored order.
