THE WASHINGTON STANDARD asked,
What do you call these people who
draw load of wood to town, sell it
and take out load of chop feed and
alfalfa? Are they ranchers, farmers
or what-nots?"
Is the man who works in town for
wages and lives from hand to mouth,
as we'll off as the man who acquires a
tract of land and by work no harder
than that in town is his own boss, on

COUNTY TO DEMONSTRATE
Douglas Has Big Community Center
Plan to Help Farmers.

Waterville, Douglas county, Wash.
ington. has project under way for
uniting big farming community in
an effort to bring scientific knowledge
social advantages, and vocational
training home to the farmer and his
family which will be followed with
keenest interest by all who are inter,
ested in the problems of education
and country life.
| This little. city has a community
center school plant consisting of %.
room school, equipped fully for voca.
tional as well as academic work, a 80.
year lease on 80 acres of land for
county fair and experimental purposes,
10 acres of campus, 10 acres for school
gardening. and 80 lots for library
investment. There are six districts
sharing in this plant, just such sit.

told in the words of report to Mrs
Preston from Country Life Commits
sioner A. L. Rogers. who is a co-work
er in Waterville with George p. Wiley
chairman Of the educational committee
of the State Bankers association. Mr.
Rogers says in part:

ing the life out of our soil and that di.
versified farming must come. But
the farmer cannot change at once. The
agricultural high school in his com
munity must solve the problems and
way for him.
I'VE have taken advantage of the
farm director bill passed by the last
legislature and have arranged to have
a county director. We will build him
a model cottage on our demonstration
grounds where he may work with our
science instructor in connecting up the
theoretical and practical sides of this
work.
I'm Douglas county the seasons are
short and the rainfall light. We need
varieties OF wheat that mature early
and get out of the way of the no,
winds. Now, we have noticed in all
our fields that there are some heads
that mature several weeks earlier than
the rest. On our demonstration farm
we are going to set the boys to work
right on this suggestion. giving tc
each an acre and offering a prize OF
$25 for the boy who makes the best
showing at the county fair.
Each boy will carefully select ant

that Huerta is an ''usurping maraud-
err His resolution is in truth, clas-

Since Secretary Bryan and Senator

compare.
EDWIN A. HENDERSON.
Yes, that is what we all want, real,
fact stories of your own experiences
ir farming or ranching in this Puget
Sound country, but the STANDARD must
disagree with one thing Mr.. Henderson
said-if you have failed in anything,
tell the STANDARD about 1t and tell why,
toe, so your neighbors or some other
ranchers in another part of the county
will not make the same mistake.
Exchange of ideas-that Is the best
thing in discussion like this, and the
easiest and the best way to exchange
them is to tell the problems you have
encountered so they can be made q
part Of the discussion, and the solu-
tion you have found for them, too, SO
the newcomer or the older settler will
know what to do when he runs into
the same thing.
THE WASHINGTON STANDARD Is the
best medium for the exchange of such
tdeas-write a letter to 1t and you
will see that 1t is! Write that letter to-
day. too. so 1t can be published next
week.

ORGANIZED GANGS ROB
LANE COUNTY TOWNS

Eugene Ore. Jan. 24.-Numerous
Eugene and Springfield during uie
burglaries have been committed ir
past few nights and a store at Cres-
we'll has been broken into. The of
ficers believe that an organized gang
Is making its headquarters here and
that the loot stolen is sent to Port
land or some other city where it is
disposed of. Four fashionable resi-
dences in Eugene have been burglar
lied and $400 worth of jewelry and
silverware stolen. The home of May
or Welby Stevens was entered in
broad daylight and a watch and other
jewelry taken. The r. II. Parsons
hardware store was broken into and
about $500 worth of guns and razors
carried away. At Creswell the bur-
glars stole the Southern Pacific gaso-
line speeder, used by the section crew
and hauled the loot to the outskirts
of Europe, where the machine was
dumped by the side VI the track.

PROVIDES RECALL
FROM CONGRESS

Salem, Or.-To make it possible to
recall United States senators and rep
resentatives in congress from Oregon
is the purpose of a bill introduced
in the house by Representative Law
renee of Multnomah.
The bill would establish the recall
by a procedure somewhat like the
Statement No. l plan which made
possible direct election of United
States senators.
Before election each candidate
would be asked to sign one of two
statements, called A and B.
Statement A is a promise to resign
within "a hours after receiving tn,
public returns if a majority of those
voting in a recall election advocate
the recall of the official.
If he signs Statement B, the can.
didate puts himself on record as re-
fusing to abide by such an election in
the state. if he is a senator. or in his
district. if a representative.
These notations would be placed OF
the ballot after each candidate:
name, according to this bill:
If he signed Statement A, the word!
Promises to resign if majority
votes for his recall"
If he signed Statement B, the word!
Declares he will not resign if a ma
jority votes for his recall"
If he signed neither statement tn,
words Does not promise to resigr
if majority vote for his recall"

PAVING CONTROVERSY
Publication of Charge That Contrac-

feriOr Brick Creates Sensation.

Bremerton. Wash, Jan. %, 1913
Bremerton, Wash. is the seat of a
bitter conflict over the question Of
street improvements.
The courts may be asked to investi-
gate the claim that faction of the
city council has permitted the con-
tractor to use inferior material.
Speaking of the conflict, one
Bremerton paper comments editorial
ly: Just how any body of men can
imagine that such tactics Gmposing
inferior materially can be imposed
upon a free people is hard to deter
mine"
The real solution would be it seems
that the use of some high class paw
ing, such as bitulithic, which is giving
satisfaction elsewhere, is specified
and adhered TO.

LONDON CITY OF SPHINXEs.
Physiologist and Photographer Assert
Jovai Faces Are Being Replaced
by ExpressiOnless Ones.

W OhCS.
London.-"This is the age of the
Sphinx face" said physiologist.
THE old CHEEKY countenances that
nearly always wore a smile, the tenn
peraments of the generation of the
Cheerybles, unruffled by carking care
and rarely clouded by any frown OF
worry. are things almost of the past.
The open, expressive countenance
has given place to the fact that is set
and hard. Inscrutability lies in the
knitted brow, in the lines of the still
set month, the hard, expressionless
eyes-as fixejly as 1t lies in the age
long features of the Sphinx. Walk
down any street, go into any theater,
restaurant, or train-any place where
people gather in London-and look at
their faces. Rarely does a real, fresh
smile light up the gloom of the face.
IF there is a smile, it is often one
that appears and disappears as
quickly and as automatically as the
smile Of a ventriloQuist's doll.
The speed and stress of modern
life have produced the Sphinx face;
the reason for 1t is to be found in
the action OF the mond on facial ex-
preston. Obsessed by single ideas,
harassed by the thousand worries of
worrying age, modern people re-
fleet their burden of care in the hard
expressionless face"
A photographer, discussing the
Sphinx face said: II know this face
well. 1t is noticeable in women as
we'll as men. The women, it seems
to me, contract the Sphinx expression
by constant association with Sphinx
like men. Children also are taking
on this look"
