Spokane Dry Farming Congress.

Spokane, Wash, March 1.-THE
preliminary premium list for the In
ternational Dry Farming exposition
which will be held October 3 to in
connection with the Fifth Dry Farm
ing Congress in Spokane, prepared
by Professor w. H. Olin, of Colorado,
superintendent of premiums ana
awards of the exposition, provides
for premiums aggregating several
thousand dollars in value. A num-
Der of handsome trophy cups will
be awarded in the sweepstakes and
special classes and cups and cash
prizes in the general classes which
cover every field of agriculture in the
dry farming regions. Ample provi-
sion is made for the competitors from
countries and provinces outside the
United States, as the exposition, like
the congress is international and
embraces every country where dry
farming is practicable. Thirty-two
sweepstakes premiums in the general
exhibits and special classes alone ara
offered for international competition
More than 200 lots of products are
named in the classified agricultural
and horticultural divisions.
Exhibitors at the exposition will
have an opportunity to compete for
| two sets of premiums. The Spokane
Interstate fair will take place Octo-
Der 8 to on the same grounds, but
in separate buildings, and dry farm
ers will be permitted to enter ex.
hibits in both events. There will be
$500 in cash premiums offered by
the fair association and dry farm ex-
hibitors may compete for these by
bringing double samples, one to be
shown in the exposition and the
other in the fair.
Rules governing the dry farming
exposition are being formulated by
Professor Olin. At previous dry
farming expositions, the rule has
been to restrict exhibits to products
grown without irrigation, sub-irriga-
ton or seepage in regions of not
more than 20 inches annual precipita-
ton. This rule has been found in
adequate, as it bars farmers in some
regions from participating in the COM
petition. There are parts Of Okla
homa and other western states where
the annual precipitation is more than
20 inches, according to the weather
bureau records, but which are essen
TALLY dry farming districts because
the distribution Of the rainfall
throughout the year, the high rate OF
evaporation, or other climatic phe-
nomena make dry farming methods
necessary to the successful produc-
ton of crops on commercial scale.
Hence modification of the rules was
deemed advisable this year.
Professor Olin is working on this
problem. 1t has been suggested that
the net precipitation available for
raising crops be made the basis in de-
termining the classification of dis
tricts as dry or humid farming terri
tory. To arrive at the net available
precipitation, it is necessary to con-
slider the total annual rainfall, its
monthly distribution and the rate OF
evaporation. Professor Olin believes
in generally retaining the 20-inch
maximum precipitation in defining
dry farming areas, but with such
notifications that will permit bona
fide dry farmers in distinctly dry
farming districts to compete on equal
terms with the dry farmers in re-
gions most deficient in annual pre-

YOM klPPUR
Celebration to Be Held for "a Hours
from Shutdown Today.

From shutdown this afternoon till the
same time on Thursday. the Hebrews
of this city will celebrate Yom Kip
pur or the Day of Atonement, an an
nual fast day which comes ten days
after the Hebrew New Year. There
is scarcely a Jew in the world, unless
he has severed his relations entirely
with Judaism, who does not observe
the day in some way. He may not
fast "A hours he may not even attend
synagogue, but at least he abstains
from labor Jewish places of business
are closed.
Yom Kippur eve begins with the
ancient Kol Nidre chant afteI1 sum
down the day before, and the services
1 in synagogues on Yom Kippur day are
continuous from morning until the first
star appears in the armament. when
the long fast of "a hours is broken.
The day is devoted entirely to things
spiritual, the pious are supposed to
forget the flesh and it's desires, all ig-
noble thoughts are banished. and as
a rule enemies forgive each other and
become friends. In synagogues the
women are dressed in white and the
men clothed in their shrouds. This
feature of the service is of course en-
tirely done away with in reform tenn

THE FEAR OF HuMBUG
Prevents Many People from Trying a
Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common and
IN most cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a radical,
permanent cure of dyspepsia and in
digestion Many sheh pride themselves
on their acuteness in never being hum :
plugged, especially in medicines.
This fear of being humougged can
be carried too far so far in fact that
many people suffer for years with weak
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of a preparation so re-
liable and universally used as Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
speet from ordinary proprietary medi-
zines for the reason that they are not q
secret patent medicine. no secret is
made of their ingredients, but analy sis
shows them to contain the natural di-
gestive acids. Golden Seal, bismuth,
hydraStiS and nuX They are not ca
thartic. neither do they act powerfully
on any organ. but they cure Indigestion
on the common sense plan of digest
ing the food eaten thoroughly before
it has time to ferment, sour and cause
the mischief This is the only secret
of their success.
Cathartie pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bfeS, because thex act entirely on the
bowels. whereas the whole trouble IS
really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken aft
er meals digest the food. That is all
there is to it. Food not digested or
half digesteC is poison. as Il creates
gas, aciditS, headaches. palpitation of
the heart loss of flesh and appetite and
many other troubles which are often
called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at 80 cents per package.

nominated Charles P. Bushnell, which
brought forth applause.
Zebulon r. Robbins stated that two
years ago he was requested to second
the nomination of Mr.. Bushnell, and
a similar duty was requested of him
Tuesday night. He called attention
to the fact that it is customary when
man is elected to the legislature to
return him for a second term, if he
desired, provided he has given a good
clean. honest and manly service. This
Mr.. Bushnell has done, and when he
pledged himself to do, a service it was
impossible for him TO get away from
it. There is no question regarding his
veFacity and he has always stood fair
on every topic. Though he lives in the
rural district, he is no Stranger to the

resent every citizen in the town, and
he recognizes his obligation to his
constituents. no matter where they
live. He is capable, honest, trustwor-
thy and clean.

fefred to the party candidates who had
previously been named for that cleo
ton, stating that there had already
been nominated a man of most high
character and worthiness to fill the
Office of governor, while one of our
own citizens has been named for the
office of state treasurer. For this Of
fee by mistake he said Hon. Henry FL.
Gallup, aX-state treasurer had been
named, and as the meeting realized his
mistake there was a hush until MIR.
Browning, recognizing his slip, cor
rected the announcement in favor of
Hon. Costello Lippitt. This was the
cause for an outbuPst of applause and
laughter which continued for several
minutes.
