ed at ten million, the Shuberts feel
they are able to throw down Gage

NORTHWEST NOTES

Many men have come In here from
the east this summer, and have been
offered positions as soon as they got
off the train. Ranchers are paying $50
and $35 a month and board, and
they say that 1t is almost impossible
to get laborers, even at these liberal
wages. They say that even after they
get men 1t is very difficult to keep
them, as the men will stay only few
days or a week and then move on.
1t is almost impossible to find goou
ranch hands. while any laborer,
whether he knows anything about ir-
rigation or not, has position offer
ed him.

BETTER SEED
GRAINS PLANTED
REPRESENTS GREAT ADVANCE
IN SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE
Has Held to Increase Profits in In
land Empire More Than Any Other
One Fact-Still the West is Be-
hind the East-Each Farmer Must
Do Certain Things For Himself In
Getting Good Seed.
(By Prof. r. w. Thatcher.)

(By HTOI. II. w. 1HdlcHeT.)
Probably one Of the most successful
if not the most successful. advance in
scientific agriculture in the last ten
years is in the matter of better seed,
The motto seed the best and sell
the rest" has helped more than any
other one principal. Eastern Washing
ton farmers are considerably behind
the progressive farmers of the older
the time is ripe for a campaign for
states in this matter, and 1 belive that
better seed in our territory.
What Is Best Seed.
The best seed is that which is pure
free from all other seeds than the one
which it is desired to grow, fully ma
tured, and acclimated to the condi-
tions under which the crops is to be
grown.
In the matter of better seed for the
wheat crop, there are some things
which each farmer must do for him
self, and some things which we Of the
experiment station must do for him.
The individual grower must take the
steps necessary to keep his seed crop
free from foreign seeds and from
grain of other varieties than that
which he wishes to grow, and to get
it evenly and perfectly matured. This
cannot be successfully done so lons
as we continue the present practice
of threshing the entire crop ind!s-
crimnately and then taking some of
this mixed material for seed purposes.
Should Be Grown Separately
The time is at hand when the seed
for next seasons crop should be
grown separately from the bulk of the
crop, under the most favorable con-
ditions for it to reach thorough ma
turity, and then threshed separately
and kept free from all contaminations
This will necessitate separate thresh-
ing outfits for the seed grain. be-
lieve that farmers organizations could
do very excellent and profitable bit
of cooperative work by owing a seed
threshing outfit in each community,
and using it with the necessary care
to keep the seed wheat up to the high
est standard of purity. The separate
seed tracts on the farm should be so
located that the graingrown for seed
will come to uniform and perfect ma
turity as completely as possible.-Ex-
change.

Rheumatism.

More than nine out of every ten
cases Of rheumatism are simply

Object to Strong Medicine.

Many people object to taking the
strong medicines usually prescribed
by physicians for rheumatism. There
is no need of internal treatment in any
case of muscular or chronic rheuma-
tism, and more than nine out of every
ten cases of the disease are of one or
the other of these varieties. When
there is no fever and little (if any)
swelling, you may know that It is
only necessary to apply Chamber

relief. Try it. For sale by all good

AROUND THE WORLD ALONE.
Woman Returns After Three Years
Trim UnaccOmDanied.

Trip Unacc0mpanied.
New York.-It's as safe for a
woman unattended to girdle the globe
as 1t is for her to sit by her own
American fireside. She need fear
neither insult nor discourtesy In any
part Of the world. She can go where
she likes, and take her time about 1t,
and a male escort is a needless ap-
purtenance.
This is the experience Of Mrs Win
fired Sercombe Of Minneapolis, who
arrived on the Atlantic Transport
liner of the same name as her home
city after a round the world tour
which had extended over three years.
During her trip Mrs. Sercombe was
unattended save by a boy guide on
occasions. She never at any time
was treated with aught save cour-
tesy and respect, although she saw
many strange lands and strange peo-
Piles.
II have satisfied myself" said Mrs.
Sercombe, as she was starting for
Minneapolis, that the means at the
disposal OF the traveller now, in prac-
tically all the countries of the globe,
are such that a woman need have no
fear In travelling alone.
