The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-11-04

The biggest grower of potatoes in
the world is a Japanese, of Stockton,
California. He is known as the potato
king. This Jap, whose name is Shima,
cultivates as much as $4,000 acres Of
the rich tule lands along the Sacra-
mento river each year. The pota-
toes there are afflicted with a disease
known as potato scab. The depart
ment of agriculture made an investiga-
ton of this disease thru its experts and
came to the conclusion that the dis
ease could be treated successfully by
fumigation of the seed potatoes with
formaldehyde. Shima took a good deal
of interest in the investigation by the
agents of the department, and last sea-
son he sent word that he would like to
fumigate his seed potatoes. Inquiry
being made regarding the quantity he
would plant, he replied, as, ,OOO
bushels" The department sent man
to superintend the work Of fumigation
in order that it might be thoroly ac-
complished.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-11-04

Washington is always glad when the
president returns. 1t knows that this
is a signal for a resumption of social
and business activities. The boarding
houses and hotels begin to fill their va
cant rooms, the stores take on greater
activity, and the capital throbs with
new life. Even tho the president
makes an occasional journey after re-
opening the white house, the season is
now on, and activity takes the place OF
summer stagnation.

AFTER THE COLLISION.
Effects Upon the Nerves Of Wrecks
Upon the Rails.

A wreck sometimes upsets even the
most iron nerved. Once the wreck
master on his arrival noticed bare
headed man in overalls, covered with
coal dust and blood, sitting beside his
engine with tears running down his
face. He recognized him as the engi-
neer, who had been hauled out few
minutes before from under the mass
OF twisted, battered steel that had once
been a locomotive. Singular1y enough,
beyond a few cuts and bruises he was
unhurt. He was crying because he
could not find his cap that he had
bought new that day and begged the
wreck master to help him hunt for 1t.
A passenger conductor Of a train
that was derailed and had plunged
down an embankment crawled out OF
the confusion and rendered cool and
efficient help during the half hour be-
fore the wreck train arrived. A little
later the wreck master CHANGED to
look around and saw the conductor
standing beside him holding a match
box to his ear and shaking it. Pres
emily he put it back in his pocket, but
took it out again in moment and re-
peated his action.
whats the matter with you q
asked the wreck master.
my watch has stopped. 7 can't Get
1t to going, and 7 don't know what
time it isl answered the conductor
still listening to his matchbox.
The wreck master took the conduc-
tor by the shoulders and shook him
roughly. Then he "came to."-Thad-
deus S. Dayton in Harper's Weekly.

SUSPICION JUSTIFIED.
It Was Not Mouse the Master Heard
firm the Kitchen.

The late Rev. DIR. Wightman, sitting
one night later than usual engrOssed
in the profundities OF a great tome,
imagined he heard sound in the
kitchen inconsistent with the cautious
ness Of mouse; SO, taking his candle,
he proceeded to investigate the cause.
His foot being heard in the passage,
the servant began with much noise to
rake out the fire as if preparing for
bed.
"Ye're up late tonight, Mary"
I'm jist rakin' the fire, sir, and
gaun to bed"
That's right, Mary. I like timeous
hours"
On his way back to the study he
passed the coal cellar door and, turn
ing the key, took 1G with him. The
next morning at an early hour there
was a rap at his bedroom door and a
request for the key to get some coal
"Ye're. up too soon, Mary. Go back
to your bed"
Half an hour after there was an
other knock and similar request, in
order 10 nrenare for breakfast. Il
don't want breakfast 80 soon, Mary
Go back to your bed"
In another half hour there was an
other knock, with an entreaty for the
key, as it was washing day.
This was enough. He rose and
handed out the key, saying, go and
let the man out" As the preacher
shrewdly suspected, Mary's sweetheart
had been imprisoned all night in the
coal cellar-London Family Herald

Here it is Again.

"An evening paper says that Mime
sofa is convert to the idea that teach
ers of the public schools shall have the
right to decide what pupils may enter
the university.
"This is twin brother to the idea
which il being spread by the doctors
of the Medical Trust that they shall
have the legal right to decide what
children are fit physically to attend
the schools and what pupils are fit to
enter college.
"And there you are. again, Mr.. Citi-
zen and Common People.-You are
merely growing children to be taken
charge Of by profession of Teachers
and a profession of Doctors. Educa-
ton is becoming compulsory and you
are to have no say as to books, meth
DDS, times, places, or the institutions
they shall attend. Higher education
is to be a privilege accorded the Sc
lected few.
'You are to have no say as to the
physical care and condition of your
children. They are to be vaccinated,
inocu1ated, anti-toxined, Pasteurized,
sterilized, disinfected and operated up
on for defective eyes, ears, nose, YER
mifuge' brains, etc., etc.
Portions of their brains are to be re-
moved to cure hereditary evil tenden-
cies, and they are even to be emascu-
lated and otherwise carved, cut and
mutilated for life at the will and the
say of a Medical Board or medical in
spector.
"This whole tendency has become
alarming and is in some respects be-
coming Infamous. III it continues,
fifty years hence will witness the most
thoroughly diffused and exasperating
tyranny ever known. 1t will not be
the tyranny of king or an autocrat,
but a tyranny Of trusts, associations
and oligarchies operating in the name
of the Majority. They will secure the
passage of laws allowing every devil
doctor in the Medical Trust and every
bigoted and fanatical reformer, teach
er and preacher the legal right to try
his experiments upon the people.
1.-THE News asserts that the present
tendency in nation, state, district and
municipality, is to put Control, put all

against the Many; in the hands of
political, social, professional and

to remove Control and Management as
far from the Common people as posi-

Hints for Live Stock Owners.

The airships are flying high, but they
can not overtake pork. The humble
pig has become the most important
animal on the farm.
March winds white the flesh right
off the COWS. Keep them in out of
the cold.
We would not hear so much about
Pasteurizing in the creamery if there
were a little more pasture-izing in the
dairy.
The farm animals are shedding their
coats, and the Peter Tumbledown
cows will soon show clean TANKS for
the first time since last fall.
If much chilled, the lamb should be
taken at once to a warm room, and
plunged in water as hot as the hand
will stand.
Then wrap the lamp in hot flannel
and rub ii dry.
If a eve loses her lamb she can be
taught to mother twin by combining
her in a narrow stall.
A small quantity of oil-meal is a
valued addition to the grain ration at
this time.
Keep the pens level and dry.
You can't tougher a horse to the
spring work in a day. Start in easy.

Take pains to exercise the horses
and harden them up before the real

sary if you wish to avoid delays and
risks.

left in the hands of the superintendent

left in the hands of the superintendent
to work out
The Superintendent has found it
posSlMk and at the same time advis-
able to take care of the 225 scholars
in the Pleasant street building, but
such a plan meant a considerable out
lay of money in order to put the build
ing in a satisfactory condition. The
changes suggested embrace good sys-
TEN of ventilation for every room in
the building, the putting in of an ad-
ditional furnace, equipment of the
rooms with additional seats, the addi
ton of another recitation room, and
general polishing up of the whole in
terror of the building. The board APP
proved all the. recommendations as
made and men began work at the
building Tuesday morning.
In speaking of the plans at the High
school for the coming year, Supt. Libby
said:
THE repairs and changes to be made
in the High school, building will sure
ly put it in excellent condition for the
coming year. When the building has
been put in prime condition it will then
be possible to- re-inaugurate the two
session plan, lengthen the study as
well as the recitation periods from 80
to 40 minutes and at the same time
work some other needed reforms. The
whole High school plant will presently
be made to compare most favorably
with nearly all the dozen or more High
schools and academies which l have
visited and inspected the past year.
Along with the material changes
have come changes in the schools
curriculum of studies. For the past
two weeks | have been engaged in
working out complete course of study
for the High school, one which en-
braces, as formerly, the classical, sci
entific and commercial departments
and one which will permit students to
fit themselves more, easily for college
or more directly for business careers.
Another assistant teacher will be add
ed to the teaching staff, some new
studies added by way of enriching the
curriculum and the work among the
teachers more evenly distributed.
Everything possible is being-~done to
bring the standard of the school up to
the highest possible point of eff
cheney, and these efforts, | feel sure,
will meet with the hearty approval of
our citizens The coming year. at the
High school is bound to be most sue
cessful one. ...,-..., ..'.
