Potato Growing in Washington

The potato crop is rapidly becoming
one of the important farm crops OF the
Pacific Northwest. The climatic con-
ditions in many parts of Washington
are peculiarly adapted to the produc-
ton of large yields of high quality po-
tatoes. This crop fits in excellently as
a rotation crop in many of the farming
systems of the state. The market de-
mand for potatoes is generally good
and likely to remain so. Insect pests
and fungus diseases which are serious
handicaps in growing potatoes in
eastern states have not yet become a
serious menace in Washington.
The State Agricultural Experiment
Station has been for many years max
ing investigations concerning the va
rieties, methods of tillage, handling
and marketing Of potatoes under Wash
ington conditions. These investiga-
tons have been conducted at the
Western Washington Station at Puy-
allup, on the Experiment Station Farm
at Pullman, and in the field in many
parts Of the state.
Two bulletins giving the results of
these studies are now available for dis
tribution. These are:
Popular Bulletin No. 11-Commer-
cial Potato Growing.
Special Series No. o-Growing Po-
tatoes in Washington.
The first of these deals chiefly with
the growing of potatoes as CONNER
cial crop, while the second is intended
primarily for school children who are
entered in potato growing contests.
Both contain information Of value to
every potato grower. Copies may be
had free by writing to the Director OF
the State Experiment Station, Pullman,
Washington.

Reciprocal demurage rules have
been issued by the public service COM
mission for the benefit Of the shippers
of the state. These rules give the
shippers the same rights as are reserv-
ed by the railroads, and unless pro-
test is made by the railroads the rules
will go into effect automatically in
twenty days, but if protest is made a
a hearing will be had as to the reason
ableness of the regulations. The rules
provide that failure on the part of a
common carrier to furnish cars when
ordered or to place them where they
can be unloaded, carries with it pen
atty in favor OF the shipper.

which he calls the attention of the
commission to the fact that rights to
minerals and other valuable deposits as

NEWS LETTER FROM
THE STATE CAPITAL
New Voucher Prepared Which is De-
signed to Prevent Fraud in the
Purchase of Supplies

With the design to head off public
officials from having any interest in the
expenditure Of the money of the tax
payers and to prevent fraud in the pur-
chase of supplies for public use the
state bureau Of inspection has prepared
new voucher which has attached to
it the following oath:
"I-having first been duly sworn
on oath do hereby depose and say that
I am Estate connection with claimant;
if corporation, affidavit must be signed
by some executive officer or manager;
if co-partnership, by member OF the

attached bill; that no officer or en-
ploye of the (name of municipality is
in any manner beneficially interested,
directly or indirectly, in the claimant
or claim hereto attached; that the said
claim of s. is true and correct;
that the services or materials therein
mentioned were actually rendered or
furnished as therein charged by the
person, firm or corporation therein
mentioned and not otherwise; that the
materials furnished are charged at the
lowest price at the time Of purchase;
that no rebate of any character, kind OF
description, or any promise OF such,
has been made to any person or per-
sons whomsoever; and said claim, OF
any part thereof, has not been paid. "
This is very strong oath and 1t is
not likely anyone will hereafter sign ii
unless his claim is absolutely correct,
for the courts have held that it is per
jury to swear falsely to voucher.

who have gazed In admiration at the
low swung stepless car That runs ev-

Pettleoat Problems

Save for an. occasional glimpse of
white lingerie petticoats are not at all
in evidence 1t does mot follow, of
course, that they are not worn, for
short skirts give no opportunity for
their display; but the aspect of the
women outdoors is so svelte, not to
say maigre, that it is easy to assert
that their. skirts are an unknown
quantity. -
Yet the petticoats of this season
have been irresistible things, and even
the last of the season sales have fas-
cinating things to show. Silky satin
fabrics, clinging to the figure and
made with little to spare in the way
of width, are still the popular line, and

FOR THE MOTHER
Care Of chlIdren's Teeth


A child should have q toothbrush of
his own, just as soon as he is able to
hold and use II to clean his teeth.
Most children enjoy brushing their
teeth because they think II is grown
up" folks who do this, and no child
vii fail to respond to the example
taught by others In the home who
make II habit to clean the teeth after
each meal.
The dentifrice that comes In paste
form, put UP in tubes, is the most sat
isfactory and the easiest to use by eth
or old or young. 1t is said that the
best way to brush the teeth il from
the gum toward the cutting edge Of
the teeth, but long practice will teach
anyone that there is need of using
the brush in all directions to rid the
teeth OF any Accommodations of food
they have collected between both the
back and front Ihasticators.
Perfectly clean teeth are not nearly
so apt TO decay as those that are ne
elected and one can help along the
road to good health considerably by
keeping the teeth and mouth entirely
free from the secretions of leftover
food matter
Another thing to remember in con-
nection with child's teeth is that the
brush should be small to begin with,
or else the child will became discour-
aged and sometimes refuse TO use a

HAzED SOLDIER
ATTEMPTS HIS LIFE
William Trivett, United States Soldier
Shoots Self At Camp ordway---
Search Of Camp Falls to Reveal Any
But Blank Cartridges In Possession
Of Guardsmen--Youne Recruit VIII
Recover.

Harpers Ferry, w. Va, Aug. IT,
The first incident to mare the soldier
| life at Camp Ordway, the scene of the
most successful encampment of the
District National Guard, occurred yes
terday afternoon when Private viii.
/ lam Trivett, Troop b, Fifteenth cav
airy, U, $. A., portion of the force
OF regulars dispatched ito Bolivar
Heights to maneuver with the militia
men, attempted suicide by firing a bull
let from Springfield rifle into his
chest. Though the young soldier had
placed the rifle so as to send the li.ll
| through his heart, IL was detected
merely inflicting flash wound in the
chest, and passed through the left
arm near the shoulder. He was inn
mediately removed to one OF the camp
hospitals, where II Is said that his
condition Is not critical, and serious
results are not expected unless blood
poison should develop.
Trivett recruit. joined the regi-
ment only a few months ago. When
the troop came to Camp Ordway, Capt.
Berkely, the commanding officer, or
dered the men to take their horses to
the Shenandoah river each day and
swim them.
The recruit cannot swim. This fact,
| ii is declared, led his company mates
| to haze him with the result that yes
terday morning he asked to be excus-
ed from the swimming exercises.
Later in the day he went to his tent
and fired the shot. The hospital is
but short distance from the scene OF
the shooting, and the soldier was NOV
ed at once. Lieut.. Frank NJ Chiffon,
United States medical corps, attached
to Battery II, Third United States field
artillery, was summoned and examin-
dthe wounded man. He discovered
that he had sustained a bad powder
burn on the chest and painful flesh
wounds.
Despite the swimming story. mem
bers of the troop announced that Triv-
ett's reason for endeavoring to end
his life was the receipt of news from
his home at Newark N. j., announcing
the critical condition OF his mother,
who has been i'll for some time.
Found No Ball Cartridges.
The shooting occurred just after
