CIVIC FORUM ON
DIRECT PRIMARY
Carnegie Hall Will Be Filled Tonight
With Distinguished Men, for
Discussion

NEW YORK, March 12.-Carnegie
Hall will be filled tonight at the meet
ing Of the Civic Forum, the session be-
ing devoted to the subject of primary
reform and direct primaries. Senator
elect and former Governor George E.
Chamberlain, of Oregon, will preside
Senator La Toilette will be the princi-
pal speaker.
Senator La Follette's address on q
subject which is monopolizing so much
of the public attention, and which is
soon to be considered in the state leg
islature, would be a matter of con-
siderable Importance in any event
But in view of late developments, and
the real efficacy of the latest plan
the uncertainty in many minds as to
which Gov. Hughes approves, it is
causing a good deal of talk. There
can be no question where Senator La
Toilette stands in regard to direct pri-
maries. He is not in favor of any sort
of legislation smacking of compro-
mise, or which only goes part way in
the accomplishment of reform
sought.

PULLMAN, March 12-What will
be one of the finest straightaWay
tracks of it's kind in the west is to be
added to the state college athletic field
when a 22O-yard straightaway is in,
stalled this spring.
Paralleling the base of the slope
leading to Rogers field, the proposed
course will offer uneQualed advant-
ages to the spectators and will fur
nish a stretch without a superior in
the west. The tennis courts, now next
to the hill, will be sacrificed for the
new feature although six courts will
be left standing for this sport. The
finish for the straight away will be
directly in front Of the present grand
stand
Work is to be started on the course
as soon as the condition of the ground
permits, and the final layer of cinders
will be rolled and packed in time for
the first meet of the season. 1t is fig

executed and delivered to the plaintiff
a promissory note for this sum- After
wards, suit was brought against them
and the court ordered that they pay
$2,537.96 to the company, in addition
to $3.50 attorneys fees with the extra
sum of $17.40 as costs. With the ex-
ception Of s1OO.65 nothing has been
paid, although it is claimed that the
Galloway Brothers owned certain lands
in sections Z, 8, 6, 10 and IL in this
and Columbia counties.
Now it is claimed by the plaintiff
that on May II, the Galloways and J.
E. Houtchens conspired together for
the purpose Of delaying the payment
of this money and also to defraud the
company out of it, 1t is further claimed
that j. S. Galloway, in whose name the
property was held, executed to j. E.
Houtchens a pretended deed turning
over to him all of the real estate
owned by the Galloway brothers and
was for no other reason than of swind-
ling the Anchor Buggy company out of
their just payment
By reason of these facts, the plain
tiff prays the court to set aside and
render void the deed executed to J. f..
Houtchens and further asks for a lien
on the above described property.

If you have Indigestion, your food fer

does more; it decays, and the nutritious
matter which should go to make new
blood decays with it, and this leads to
an impoverished condition of the blood,
to nervousness, biliousness, constipation,
sick headache, bad breath which dis
gusts your friends, and other disagree
able and unpleasant conditions.
And all this trouble is caused by the
food that doesn't digest, but ferments and
oftimes rots in the stomach.
And fermentation is caused by the
stomach not being strong enough and
energetic enough to thoroughly mix the
food with the digestive juices.

Some of our residents have the temerity
to inquire why a village scamp who
made cat calls while lady was singing

when college scamp escapes scot-free
after throwing rubber overshoe and
striking young lady in the face in the

loafer is a loafer, whether he goes to
college or lives on his father, or does
both, and the college is not to blame for
such. But without seeking to bring out
