Sunday, May 5th, was the 91st anniversary
of the death of Napoleon on the island of ST.

poverty. The Count Lascases in his memoirs

Plymouth to St Helena in Sept 1915. Napoleon
said of the United States that it would become

Because of the vote cast Tuesday
was the heaviest In the history of
Thurston county, due not only to the
fact that it was the first time the
women had voted in state and
national election but also to the highly
stimulated interest in the election gen.
orally, the clerks and judges of the
election boards in the different pre-
cincts labored all Tuesday night and
late into Wednesday afternoon count
ing the ballots. Some gave up at
noon, went home and took an after.
Moons nap and started In counting
again in the evening.
Women served for the first time on
several of the boards. In Woodland
precinct, Lacey, where the record
number of 252 votes was cast, two
women, Miss Evelyn Kinney and Mrs.
Bert Rowe, were the clerks and stuck
gamely to the task, though the count
ing, begun at 8 o'clock Tuesday night
was not finished until $50 Wednesday
evening. Their pluck was greatly
praised by the voters of the precinct.

"drys" victorious, the Fourth, which
they carried by eight votes and the
Sixth, which they won with 10.
The local option fight, though waged
more or less quietly. especially SO far
as the wet forces were concerned, had
nevertheless aroused a great interest
among the voters of Olympia and &C.
casioned the casting of the largest vote
in the city's history, 2,756. Its particu-
lar feature was the size of the woman
vote and it's predominance in favor of
the wet forces.
The victory of the vets was assured
after the counting of the ballots had
hardly begun. So pronounced was the
vote in their favor that the question
changed from whether Olympia would
go wet or dry to how large the wet ma
jority would be. And as the result in
each ward was announced in the differ
ent points throughout the city where
the election returns were received the
wet vote was constantly greeted with
cheers.

These figures show plainly and con-
cisely that the great need of the Pa
cific Coast is the development of agri-
culture. No section can be really and
substantially prosperous unless it rails
es enough to feed itself. The Coast
isn't doing that.
These figures show the need of en-.
couragement for the farmer and livs
stock grower The stockman and poul-
tryman have a particularly fertile
field. Last week butter was selling in
Spokane from 35 to SO cents a pound
and eggs ranged from 35 to so cents a
dozen. The 35-cent ones were the
storage variety.
The government estimates for the
four Northwest states says that the
wheat crop is 101 1867 900 bushels. At.
say, an average of 81 cents bushel,
the crop is worth a little more than
$6S, 100000. OF this amount there is
sent East nearly $40,000,000 for meats,
poultry and dairy products. These
products can be raised in the states
of Washington. Oregon. Idaho and Mon
tana in sufficient quantities to supply
| the demand.
If the $40,O0O,OOO was kept in the
Northwest it would circulate among
, all classes of people. The money
would be paid to actual producers in
stead of going to Armour & Company.
Swift & Company, and others Of the
big packinghouse interests. 1t woull
be spent by the farmer, poultryman
and stock grower with his local mer-
chant, who, in turn, would expend 1t
with the jobbers and merchants in
Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and other
cities.
| Allow, for sake of argument, 10
per cent profit on this $4,000, 900. This
would give 100000, which is totally
lost to the Northwest by reason of the
fact that it goes East, never to return.
continue along this line until it is
seen that the question is not one of in
terest to farmers only. 1t affects ev-
cry line of business.
Such a state of affairs indicates the
need of concerted action by the bank
ing, mercantile and agricultural inter
ests of the Pacific Coast. Just how 1t
may be accomplished is a question not
to be settled hastily. Several plans are
advocated: For instance the states Of
Washington and Oregon, as well as
British Columbia, have large areas Of
logged-off lands. 1t Is argued by some
that the state should loan money on
these lands to allow them to be cleared
up and made productive. Others favor
improvement associations formed By
the owners of lands, to the end that
they may be cleared cheaply and rap
idly
Just now the country is deeply In
terested in the rural credit associations
of Europe, which are said to give the
farmers of that continent suficient
supply of ready money at rates that
are low enough to allow farmer 60
ing ahead with new enterprises. This
will be studied. as will the proposal OF
state loaned funds and the formation
of private improvement associations.

BRUTAL BLUNDER AT HANGING
Hideous Legal Execution Performed
When Man Of Unsound Mind
Was Dropped From Trap.

Windsor, VIA hideous legal exc
cution was performed here at the
state prison when Elroy Kent, plainly
of unsound mind, was dropped from
a gallows. the rope breaking. Depu-
ties picked up the body, wrapped the
rope around the balustrade of the
gallows and allowed Kent's body to
swing for twenty-seven minutes.
An attempt was made to suppress
the news of the execution because OF
the widespread protest against the
legal killing of the murderer, who was
believed to be insane. The story was
told by Mortified witnesses. Report
ers were not admitted to witness the
execution. The prison surgeon. ad-
mitting that the rope broke, declares
that Kent's neck was snapped and
life was extinct at the first fall

Nitro-FxInq Bacteria.

Mr.. G.. G. Given discussed the nitro
gen-fixing organisms that are not asso-
ciated with the legumes. We have
heard much about the ones that work
in connection with clover. peas, etc..
giving us cheap nitrogen. but there
are groups Of bacteria engaged in the
same work that are not associated
with legumes, and they are effective
agents in supplying the land with nj
trogen when the soil is kept rich in
humus and does not lack any lime
Moisture and soil aeration are impor-
tant to these bacteria. In the aggre-
gate, big stores Of nitrogen are sup
piled to the soil by these bacteria, of
which relatively little has been said.
1t is the soil in fine tilth that profits
most by these little friends Of the

What Is Silage Worth?

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
at Dubois, Pa, wants to know what a
ton of good corn silage is worth in the
silo. That is question which fire.
quently arises in farm settlements and
on which great variety of views may
prevail. Some have given silage a
very low value, counting merely the
cost of growing the crop and putting
1t up. With big variety of corn and
a high tonnage silage can be figured
down to quite a low value, but such
figuring is manifestly unfair. Silage
contains corn in varying amounts, usu-
ally around five bushels per ton in
good silage. and the price of corn
should be considered in estimates as
to the price Of silage. Using this as
a basis our friend can rate the value
of his silage by basing 1t on the corn
1t contains. In recent years most es-
Inmates have been at $3.50 to SO per
ton, but 1t may be worth more If rich
In grain.

BEST WAY OF USING SOAP
In Solution Il Is Better Than as Com.
monty Used-Proper Method
of Starching.

Soap solution is the best way Of u.s.
Ing soap for laundry purposes. This
Is good and well tried solution: A
bar OF ordinary laundry soap may be
cut up and dissolved in three or four
quarts of hot water. This may be used
at once while hot or may be kept In
glass jars until needed.
White clothes may be boiled. Bring
slowly to boiling point with boiler
half full of clothes.
If clothes appear yellow, use a lit
tie kerosene or paraffin. The yellow
tlnge can be obviated by use of white
soap.
The question Of starching is a COM
plex one. Perhaps the following will
assist the inquirer: Mix starch with
small quantity of cold water to a
creamy consistency. add little more
cold water. and then the desired
amount Of absolutely boiling water,
stirring constantly. Put the starch
over the fire and boil it for several
minutes to insure complete cooking.
and stir 1t all the time 1t is cooking
Cool or dilute for use If oil. borax
or wax be used. they should be cooked
with the starch, but bluing is added
later. The proportions for cooked
starch are one measure of starch to
eight Of boiling water, for thick
starch. and one measurement of
