The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-02-15

The department of agriculture in
its last report on farm animals gives
some figures which are surprising,
and some which are not fattering.
In spite of the fact that the automo-
bile and the auto truck have become
almost universal, the number of
horses increased last year 81, 600. In
direct contrast to this, milk COWS de-
creased 2O2, 600, and other dairy cattle
increased 123, 900. Sheep decreased
1873, 600, 900 and swine 1920, 900. A
glance at these figures does not en-
courage hope that there will be de-
crease in the cost of milk, butter or
meats, but rather it shows that we
may expect substantial increase in
the price of these universal articles
of diet. While population is increas-
ing rapidly the food supply is de-
creasing. These figures are not en-
couraging.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-02-15

No question is SO prominent before
the state legislature as the one of
logged off lands. There are half a
dozen different bills proposed and
none of them of much practical bene-
fit Nearly all call for large bond
issues and for impractical purposes.
The Bausman plan calls for bond
issue of $40, 900, 600 to be used by the
state in the purchase of logged off
lands, clearing same, and afterwards
to be sold to settlers. The Hanson
plan provides for similar bond issue
to be taken care of by individual
counties. Money would be advanced
for the improvement of lands and the
same would be a lien against the
property until paid. The Robe plan
provides for credit system similar
to that used in European countries.
The MetcaIf plan provides for an ap-
preparation of $780, 900 for the purpose
of equipment to obtain the best
method of clearing, also for cleaning
logged off lands. These lands are to
be sold to settlers and applies only to
lands owned by the state. The Con-
don plan provides for bond issue of
$40, 900, 900 for reclaiming the Quincy
Irrigation project. A perusal of the
bills covering these different plans
satisfies us that the Hanson plan is
the most practical. 1t would be under
the control of the counties and it
proposes to assist people to clear their
lands. No man with limited means
can go on our logged-off lands and
make his living on account of the
high cost of clearing. He needs the
help at the start rather than after his
lands are under cultivation. 1t is
becoming more evident to people who
are giving it any thought that these
lands will be taken up and cultivated
as rapidly as there is need for them.

One OF the most unwise laws which
the state legislature has seen fit to
pass was the alien land bill which was
approved by the House by a vote of
seventy to twenty-five If this law
should pass it would require a change
in the constitution and voters will
have a chance to express themselves
at the first general election. 1t is
safe to say they will knock it higher
than Gilroy's kite. Any foreigner of
good moral character can become
citizen of the United States and own
real estate in the state of Washington
if he desires. No other should be
allowed to own real estate here and
the constitution should not be chang
ed.

Washington comes to the front again

moor, COW belonging to the j. w.
elise herd, of Redmond, near Seattle,
was last week awarded the Ayrshire
worlds championship for production
of butter fat in II months, being o.
16O pounds of milk, or lilo pounds of
butter. Gerranton Dora, another COW
of the Ayrshire herd, produced 81,
064 pounds of milk, or 10O6 pounds of
butter. These two records topped
the worlds record for Ayrshire COWS,
and these two COWS we're two out of
three Ayrshire COWS which produced
more than one ton of milk during
last year.

According to the ancient ground
hog story we are to have an early
spring. The weather man informed
us the End of February would be clear,

otherwise. The day was cloudy

superstition, spring should open up
early.

We are in receipt of the report of
H. w. Sparks, supervisor of demon
stration farms under the State College.
The report should be in the hands of
farmers generally as there is lot of
information in it which would be
valuable to them. The principal
demonstrations during the past year
by Mr.. Sparks, were on the grounds
OF the King County Fair at The
Meadows, near Seattle; at Chehalis;
near Vancouver. and at Arlington.
Mr.. Sparks is especially pleased with
the corn produced at The Meadows.

Clerks Refuse to Throw Up
Their HandS-Make Their
Escape.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Sept. 10.
Two robbers. with drawn revolvers
entered the jewelry store Of ]. j.
Thompson here early Thursday night.
commanded the clerks 10 throw up
their hands, and when they refused,
opened fire. John A. Thompson and
Ed. Smith fell dead and Paul Town
send was probably fatally wounded.
The three victims were alone in
the store when the robbers entered.
Townsend, who was taken to a local
hospital was able 10 tell the authOri-
ties only few words concerning the
tragedy.
The clerks were placing watches
and Jewels in their cases for the
night when the men, masked, entered
and demanded that Townsend, the
watch repairer throw up his hands.
Townsend refused, tried TO grapple
with the men and was shot down. A
bullet penetrated his neck.
He believes that the other employees
then rushed 10 his aid and were
killed.
The jewelry store is almost in the
haart of the business district and
pedestrians passed by while the rob
bers were within. One person in
formed the police that be heard
three shots fired. Policemen nearby
also were attracted by the shooting.
but the robbers fled before they ar
rived No description Of the bandits
could be secured at a late hour to-
night.

There is a feeling in the air tia
we are going TO wear hoops in tn
near future.
Already we are taking on a look
OF the wooden women who in

easy matter 10 drop that wire an

more or less horror OF looking con-
spicuous, and when all women are

VIII cOmmercialized fashions
last ?''
That IS for some woman OF more
logical mind than mine 10 answer.
But L have been wondering how
much longer women will rest under
the almost universal censure OF in
decent dress" and ''unbridIed ex-
travagance' and still remain the
white slave Of trade.
The great fashion designers are
always IN consultation with the
manufacturers. and changes in fash
ion are not made because women de-
mand them. but because manufac-
turers and merchants demand them.
Every man in the business Of max
ing textiles or clothing has learned
the psych illogical fact OF humanity's
love II changa. and ne constantly
plays on the restless. seeking-Of-
somethinR-new which is born in us
and which be begin TO educate to the
highest standard when in our cradle
we throw away our rattles to grasp
the colored ball that bangles before
our baby eyes.
Women are prone to be more rest
less and reckless In this regard
especially the Well-tO-dO women who
are called fashionable. because all
their striving must be in the realm
OF dress. And right here is another
little psychological fact that enters
into the ceaseless change OF fashion.
AS long as there is o thinking brain
in a human body that brain will
strive for something. even If it be
only TO Outdress some one else.
Through all the ages women have
only striven for the things that have
added TO the glory Of men, but now
that they are claiming the right 10
strive for themselves. / look forward
and see many ideas changed.
1t would seem as though sensible
women might call art and utility TO
their aid and evolve a dress that
would depend upon its fitness and
beauty for It's universal acceptance.
Before this much-to- be-desired
change can come, however, there
must be the greatest industrious up
heavai. for It has been proved by our
political economists that a terrible
war, a horrible pestilence or a wide
spreading earthquake would not work
such havoc in our country as for
every woman TO stop buying gowns
for a year.
Think Of this gentlemen. when
next you say, Women are foolishly
extravagant."

K1ugman a chance to get some otheH
