ALFALFA, THE CROP

There is one feature of the alfalfa
campaign so far but lightly touched,
and yet of great importance to the
advancement of the island empire.
This is the necessity of cutting ND
large ranches into small tracts, whi-l,
will support a far greater population.
than is possible when large holdings
are in the possession of few men.
Every twenty acres in the rich sec
tions of eastern Washington is cap
able of supporting one family, not
only in comfort but in luxury. When
intensive farming is followed, TWEEN
;y acres can be made to produce more
than a quarter section where loose
and slipshod methods are employel.
To its farms the inland empire must
look for the foundation of it pros
perity. The greater the number Of
nccessful small farms the more en-
during will be the success OF eve-v
village, town and city in eastern
Washington. If the alfalfa enthusi
asts can accomplish any thing along
this line they will be entitled to the
lasting gratitude OF the inland en-
-pire.-Spokane Chronicle.

have proved beyond a possibility of
a doubt that the automatic pistol
found beneath the body, was
Menta's. The fact that band of
sheep was run over the ground on
the day after the body was found, +,
has made it extremely difficult to
pick up clue from tracks. An In

Il am going to see that Nevada 5
exhibit compares favorable with
that of any Of the western states"
says Governor 0ddie at San Fran
cisco, referring to the big fair in
1915. Political enemies of Governor
Oddie are endeavoring to make
capital out of the fair appropriation,
declaring it to be shameless waste
Of money. However, it is believed
that loyal Nevadans, who put state
pride above petty politics, sanction
The move of participating in the 1915
fair. Its safe bet that many of
tle harping critics will attend the
big show and point with pride to
the Nevada building and Nevada
exhibit and exclaim what do you
think of that for a showing of a
state that has but $4,000 people?
That's the way we Nevadans do
things"

The Nevada

In an attitude of mind decidedly

solute elimination of the proposed
Nevada state building at the 1915
Panama-Pacific exposition, members
OF the commission, accompanied by
Commissioner General Geo. T. Mills.
are in San Francisco to confer with
exposition officials. In the party
were Governor Oddie, Lieutenant
Governor Ross and Attorney-Gener-
al George B. Thatcher, the three
commissioners.
Owing to the public sentiment
which has been displayed against
the expenditure of a large sum for
state building, the commission an
nounced the expense of the trip
would not be charged against the
exposition fund.
Therelis said to be a feeling a.
mong members of the commission
that 1t will not be necessary to
spend more than half or two-thirds
OF the appropriation. the.idea seem
ing to preyailsthat it would be more
to Nevada's advantage to help
farmers of the state make exhibits
of prize-winning products in the
buildings provided for the com
petitive exhibits than to put big
sum into a Nevada building.

Summer Foods as
Cause Of Dyspepsia
Many Also Get Didrhoed-
What To Do in Either Case

Summer ought to be the months Of
most perfect health. but owing to con-
taminated water and milk, unripe fruit
germs. and insects the average Of health
is not good at this time of the year
There is much skin trouble from acid
fruits, and much dyspepsia and diar-
rhoea from cold foods and iced bever-
ages.
The skin trouble is easily stopped by
discontinung fruit for few days, and
by the use of a mild laxative to clean
the bowels and tone the blood. The
dyspepsia is likewise corrected by the
use of a laxative that has combined
with 1t the elements of a digestive tonic.
Hence the best remedy to use is DIR.
CaIdwelTs Syrup Pepsin, which, as its
name indicates, is a pleasant laxative
combined with the virtues of pepsin,
which we all know is the best cure for
| indigestion.
Use Syrup Pepsin also for summer
diarrhoea. Avoid astringents, physics,
and cathartics, as they are unnecessar-
| ily harsh Thousands of good American

FAMILY AWAITING
PARDONED SOLDIER
Happy Again, Mrs. Norman 0.
Curry Thanks Times for Its
Aid in Obtaining Writ.

Mrs. Norman O. Curry and her two
children. Ethel. aged thirteen. and
Dorothy, aged ten, are the happiest per
sons in Washington today. They are
counting the hours until the pardon
granted by President Wilson yesterday
is delivered at Portsmouth, y. H,
where Curry has been imprisoned by the
naval authorities, and he can be re
leased and return to his family.
There is a certain amount of red tape
that must be unWUund The pardon pa
pers must pass through the hands of
the Secretary Of the Navy, the Judge
advocate of the navy, and the Attor
ney General before being transmitted to
Portsmouth. Mrs. Curry. who had
counted on having her husband home
for Sunday dinner, believes now that
she will have to give up the plan.
But I've waited so long to have my
husband back that | guess | can wait
a day or two longer" Mrs. Curry said
today. 1T has been such a bitter strug-
gle since he was taken away from us.
God has surely been good TO us, and l
believe that now our troubles are over.
And l never will be able to begin to
repay The Times for what it has done
for me. l know Norman never would
have been pardOned If The Times had
not have found all the friends who
were So good to US when The Times told
of our destitute circumstances.
"A poor, helpless woman can do moth
ing. l pleaded for nv husbands re-
lease before he was taken off to prison,
but l could not reach the ears of the
people who could help me. Then The
Times told of our condition and of the
nijnstiCe of my husbands Arrest. and
friends came pouring in bringing US
food, clothing, and money, and offering
to interest congressman and interCede
with high officials to get a pardon for
my husband.
Il want to thank Congressman Webb
for the trouble he went to in appealing
with the Navy Department for my hus-
bands pardon, and Mrs. Mary Pitt
man wexford, my neighbOr. who pur-
suaded Congressman Webb to take up
the case.
And 1 will never forget the good
deeds of Mrs. Rachael Brown. Mrs. Sar-
rett Rush. and Policeman Otto SOntagg
They appealed for a pardon repeatedly
and what is more they fed US and kept
a roof over our head before we thought
Of doing what we should have done in
the first place-asked The Times to helT
u.s.
Mrs. Curry says she was confident
when the case was brought before Sec
retary Daniels and President Wilson
the pardon would be granted. She
krew that they would not permit a
helpless family to suffer if they could
help IL.
Secretary Daniels and Assistant Sec
retary Roosevelt were delighted when
they heard the news that the President
had granted Curry pardon. Hedsed
about with regulations that prevents
them from extending lenienCy because
Of the effect it might have on destroy
ing discipline, they were glad that the
President acted favorably in a case
that enlisted the sympathy of all the
department officials.

Investigation into the factory fire in

The fire escape ran past unpro-
tected window through which the
flames poured Whiskeman said.
rendering the FIRE escape utterly
useless in emergency; there was
practically only one exit from the
building and this was soon cut of
by the flames which poured through
It. From the first TO the second floor
there were two stairways and II II
had not been for the extra stairway
on the front of the building, the loss
or life would have been very much
more, as the rear stairway was rem
dered useless on account of the fire
having Its origin there. Every build
ing, no matter what height. should
have at least two means OF exit re-
mote from each other, so that in case
one OF them is cut Ga. the other will
be available
Whiskeman remarked upon the
strange swiftness and fury with
which the fire burned, the building
practically having been destroyed In
80 minutes
1T Is an undisputed fact" he said
that the fire started on a shelf thai
was built under the stairway.
Despite the efforts of employees
who poured al 1.-The water in all the
