Compilations
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author OF cat Good Old SiyVash."

n OMPLEXIONS are worn by every.
body, but are most highly priced
BY women who wouldn't be able
to keep house without one-at any rate
not for q husband.
A complexion consists of the hide with
which the face Is upholstered. 1t varies
in color from purple to alabaster, but the
most valuable complexion is a she'll like
white with pink trimmings. With com
plexion OF this sort assisted by few
deft dimples and no brains whatever to
back it up from behind, a woman can
often 90 forth and accumulate 81, 0O0,-
600 worth of husband.
That Is about all compilations are good
for outside of acquiring hus-
bands. a fine, delicate complexion Is
nore soothing to look at than a 100000
painting or a Swiss sunset, and after
a man has got enthusiastic over it he
simply has to have it around the house.
Men do not get married on their COM
pleXiOns. About all a mans complexion
ever does for him is to lose him his Job
now and then when it becomes too Yiru-
lent around the nose.
Compilations are of two sorts-perma-
nent and detachable. After a natural

then cannot look upon this as an ex-
pertinent.
County Commissi oner M. L. Ham1l-
ton, friend of the project, was alb
sent, but both Commissioners David
Mckenzie and Krist Knudsen assured
the committee Of their hearty support.
Once the people have created the
agricultural development district, the
commissioner have power to issue
bonds for the work of clearing the
land up to one and one-half per cent
of the assessed valuation OF the coun-
ty, which in the case Of King, is one
and one-half per cent of $3.50, 900, 600.
Representative Murphine assured
the commissioners, however, that
there was no occasion at this time to
make any such levy, and that in all
probability 5000, 900 or $500, 900 would
be all that would be asked for.
The law empowers the commission
to purchase logged-of lands in large
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-10-15

tracts, to clear them and to sell them
in tracts of any size up to twenty
acres. The statute forbids the COM
missioners to pay more than $50 an
acre, and safeguards the districts in
terests by making it mandatory on
the county assessor to assess promptly
at $40 an acre any loggedoff land the
commissioners cannot purchase at
that figure.
Men of families are given the pre-
ference right to buy small tracts, up
to twenty acres, at the price the
cleared land cost the commission.
The payments will be extended over
twenty years, the rate of interest be-
ing one half of one per cent higher
than that of the district bonds.
This is one proposition. The sec
ond affects the man who already owns
stump land. He will be required to
turn this land over to the district
which will clear it, giving him the
preference right to bid on the work
and bid the land in at the cost OF
clearing. He also will be given
twenty years to pay. The district,
as Murphine explained to the county
commissioners. being municipality,
cannot loan actual money, but in
reality it does SO in this manner to
the rancher who has not the means to
pay the cost of clearing his land.

FIRE BLIGHT.

NJ Oregon Agricultural College. Cor
Wallis, Ore, Oct. 10.-Fire blight is
the most serious disease that attacks
apple and pear trees, and occurs In
nearly every part of the United States
where these fruits are grown. When
it's cankers girdle the branches they
cause the leaves to turn black, as
though caused by fire, and often to
remain on the tree throughout the
following winter. Fire blight is
caused by bacteria, and myriads of
germs are present in all freshly
blighted parts of the tree and in the
sticky ooze from running cankers.
While cutting out the infected parts
and disintecting them is the standard
treatment recommended, the details
of this work when done effectively are

WILL VOTE FOR OR AGAINST
LOGGED-OFF LAND DISTRICT.

In order that the voter may get all
the information possible about the
new logged-off land question we pub
lish below an article taken from the
Seattle Times:
The people of King county on Dec
ember 9th will vote for or against the
stumping and grubbing of 100, 600
acres of logged-otf lands under the
terms of resolution passed this week
by the Board of County Commission
ers. This is the first step taken since
the passing of the Murphine bill by
the legislature last winter, by any
county, to convert the 2, 800, OOO acres
of stump land west of the Cascade
mountains to tillable farms.
The election was set for the same
date as that of the port election and
school election, in order that the cost
of submit ting the proposition might
be minimized.
Representative Thomas F. Murph-
inc, author of the bill, headed COM
mittee of business men that waited
on the county commissioners this
week and was the principal speaker
before that body. He explained that
he wanted the people to say whether
King county should form itself into
an agricultural development district
That will be the first question; the
second will be the election, at the
same time, of three agricultural dis
trict commissi oners. These will be
from the same districts as the county
commi ssioners They may be nomi-
mated on one per cent petitions in
their own districts, but are to be
voted for by the county at large.
Murphine told the commissioners
that the creation of such a district
ultimately will mean the retention in
King county alone of between $751;
600, 900 and 81, 900, 900 annually.
''These figures have been carefully
compiled, said the representative.
"King is paying out every year &c.
600, 900 for eggs, $1,000, 900 to $40, 0OO,-
600 for butter and So, 600, 600 for live
hogs, while we sit by and let lie idle

be done with this acreage for we have

Charles FL. Frye, the Seattle pack
or, and president of Frye & Co.. ridi-
cules the statement of certain Eastern
packers that in the next decade the
prices of fine cuts of beef would adj
vance to one dollar per pound and
that the scarcity of beef can be rem
edied by government stock farms on
a large scale and then selling livestock
to the packers SO people will be able
to buy meat at low price. Mr.. Frye
says beef will be cheaper in five years
than it is now. for the reason that
people who own land but no stock
who quit raising beef because of the
low price-will go back into the bust
ness again and herds will increase all
over the country from now on; that,
in fact, this is evident already. With
the matter gone at in the proper way,
the price OF beef will be about 60 per
cent less ten years hence than it is
now. "But in any event." says Mr..
Frye, "the government never could
raise cattle and make profit at it.

part of Section 1 of the Amendatory Act of
1904. clearly means that the War Department
shall not supply Governmental aid, excepting
to those schools in the United States and
Territories where such instructions (military
drill and tactics) shall have been authorized
by the educational authorities thereof, and
where the services, of such instructors shall
have been applied for by said authorities"
What authorities?
There can be but the one answer
to-wit: the educational authorities of the
States and Territories where said schools, ask
ing for the Governmental aid, are located.
In other words, the Federal Government,
under certain restrictions and conditions, will
furnish Governmental aid to certain class
of schools and colleges Which are under the
control Of the school authorities Of the States
and Territories.
Is not this perfectly clear? Construed in
that manner, is not the law of Congress in
perfect accord with the Constitution of the
United States?
But school or college which is maintained,
established, controlled and taught by church
or religious denomination, is not such an
educational institution as was contemplated
by the Acts of Congress. We have In the
State of Georgia, for instance, Methodist col
leges, maintained and controlled by the Meth
odist church; we have Baptist College,
maintained and controlled by the Baptist
church. These institutions have nothing to
do with the educational authorities Of the
State. They are separate and distinct from
those schools and colleges which are con-
troled by the educational authorities of the
State.
In like manner, the Marist College in
Atlanta, is a distinctly, avowedly Roman
Catholic institution. The educational outhori-
ties Of this State exercise no Supervision err
control 00er 1t.
Therefore, [ submit respectfully to you,
that it is just as illegal for the War Depart
ment to furnish teachers and military sup
plies to these private, religious schools, as it
would be to take the equivalent in money and
contribute that sum to the annual revenues
Of those religious seminaries and institu-
tons
I make no point on the fact that the great
Presbyterian church, the Episcopal church,
and the Christian, so-called Campbellite
church, have received none of this Govern
mental bounty. 1t is vastly to their credit
that they have not even asked for it. [ am
glad that the great Methodist church appears
on your list only through the negroes of the
city of Wherefore, Ohio.
[ am ashamed that the great Baptist
church, to which | have been proud to belong
ever since [ was bare-footed school-boy, has
stultifed its historic record and lowered its
standard Of principle by taking Govern
mental donation in violation of law and Bap-
fist creed, for it's college at Arl1adelphia,
Arkansas.
[ am sorry to see one Lutheran College on
your list, at Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Out of the eight UNCONVENTIONAL schools
which have, up to this time laid their greedy
hands on the public moneys, [ am not at all
surprised to see that the Roman Catholics
have three, one being the great college OF St.
