HILLS SLOGAN
MASTER RAILROAD BUILDER De
CLARES THAT THE WORLD
HAS REACHED AN ECONOMIC
CRISIS.
New York, Jan. 29.-"Back to the

New York, Jan. 29.-"Back to the
SOIL
This is the solution of the higher
cost of living problem, according to
James j. Hill, philosopher and mas
ter railroad builder.
''The problem is not local, it is in
ternaional," said Mr.. Hill. "Obvi-
ously the world has reached an eco
nomic crisis. We are not producing
foodstuffs enough. We must enlarge
the farming area of the earth; we
must apply scientific principles; we
must adapt ourselves to conditions.
Alphabetically speaking. the world
is not overpopulated. The problem
is to relieve the congestion in the
cities and scatter the unproductive
population to the farms. When we
get them there we must teach them
new methods of farming. Our pres
ent methods are SO loose and slip
shod that we do not get half the
good out of our tillable land"

GERMANY WANTS
OUR APPLES
IS WILLING TO MAKE CONCES-
SIONS ON THE BARREL VA
RIETY AND WILL CHANGE
TARIFF SCHEDULE.

Berlin, JAN 2S.-The reply of the
foreign office to the request of the
United States that the application of
Germany's general tariff to America
imports be deferred until March 81,
is understood to be a nonacceptance
of the suggestion for delay.
The reply, which will be dispatch
ed to Washington, will, however, rep
resent that the German government
feels that no obstacles to complete
agreement exist that can not be over
come by February z, the date on
which the general schedules will be
applied automatically.
Among the points raised by the
United States in the matter Of dis
elimination against American imports
was that of the rate imposed on
American apples, which are assessed
at $1.25 Darrell instead of rs cents
q barrel, on the ground that the ex-
celsior placed at the ends of the bar
rels to prevent the apples being
bruised was classed as paper wrap
ping by the customs authorities. The
state department has been informed
that the federal council has modified
the ruling in this case and that
American apples will be admitted at
rs cents a barrel when so packed.

Not Expected to Collect Loose Coin.
Postmaster Hull this morning was
in receipt OF a new order from the
fourth assistant postmaster general
regarding the collection of loose coin
in the mail boxes by rural carriers.
The practice OF placing loose coin in
boxes by rural patrons has grown
and the delay in the delivery and
collection of mail and the responsible
ity imposed on rural carriers incident
thereto has led to the order which
will be effective February Is. There
after rural carriers will not be re-
quired to collect loose coin from rural
mail boxes. The order states that
patrons should enclose coins in an
envelope, wrap them securely in a
piece of paper or deposit them in a
coin holding receptacle so they can
be easily and quickly taken from the
boxes, and carriers will be required
to lift such coins and where accom-
panied by mail for transport attach
the requisite stamps.

IMPORT BIRDS TO
EAT WORMS
GROWERS OF YAKIMA VALLEY
PLAN TO SECURE SEVERAL
THOUSAND sONGsTERs - TO
WORK WITH GAME BOARD.

North Yakima, Jan. 29.-Song-
birds will be imported into the Yaki-
ma valley in thousands II fruit grow
ers have their way. At the sugges-
ton of Edward Remy, prominent
grower, ranchers have appointed a
committee to go before the county
game association to secure the CO.
operation of that organization. The
committee consists of Mr.. Remy, A..
L. Thompson and F. r. Henry.
II believe the right kind of birds
will do much to rid this valley Of
worms" said Mr.. Remy in making
the suggestion at meeting OF fruit
growers. They will eat some cher
ries and other fruit. but the slight
damage they may do in this way will
be more than offset by Kidding us of
many of the worms. Wrens and
other songsters are worm-eating
birds and ought to propagate in the
valley"
Professor Beal of the department
of agriculture was here last summer
to study the bird question and its re-
lation to fruit growing and reported
that birds are apt to do little damage
to the fruit raised and do much good.

IF this order goes without chal-

The question arose, he said,
whether information was to be CEN

Information, he said. should be

PASS THE
BOTTLE
TOM CONSTANTINE OF Cash.
MERE FINED FOR VIOLATING
PROVISIONS OF NEW LOCAL
OPTION LAW.

That the passing around of bottles
of liquor in dry units will not be
tolerated under the local option law.
is evidenced by the case of the state
against Tom Constantine, tried at
Cashmere yesterday Constantine
was convicted after trial before w.
H. Jordan, justice of the peace for
the Cashmere precinct, on a charge
of giving away and disposing of in
toxicating liquor within a dry unit.
The testimony showed that Con-
stantine, an employe Of the Great
Northern railroad at Cashmere, gave
Ed. Anderson a bottle with some
whisky in it. Anderson is a young
fellow of 10 years of age. He had
been offered drink by Constantine,
who then gave the bottle to the boy
and told him to bring it back to him,
and charging the young fellow not to
tell anyone where he got 1t. The af-
fair took place in a small building
known as the "Boar's Nest" just off
the railroad right-of-way and near
the main street of Cashmere The
town marshal, Bert McManus, had
been watching the place and followed
up young Anderson and took the bot
tie away from him.
County Attorney Kemp prosecuted
the case and upon conviction yester-
day Judge Jordan fined Constantine
$75 and costs, which the defendant
raised to save himself from going to
jail. The county authorities are
making every effort to enforce the
law.

was in the pig-chasing. All the sol.
