1t is seldom that such an opportuni-

latest and most stylish embroidery
patterns been submitted at a cost that
really means sixteen times less than
the average ruling prices. When 1t is
considered that you will get one hun
dred and sixty of the latest patterns
for embroidery. each OF which can be

how 1t Is possible TO supply an outfit
of more value than $40 for such a
nominal sum as IS cents.
THE TIMES began the distribution to-
day of pattern outfits that will leave
nothing to be desired concerning art
needle work, and at the low price
stated which will bring the propo-
sition within the reach of every one.

UNITED piGss LEASED wIRE.l

lbNllLD iltEoo l4EAbED WlNE,l
Olympia, Wash, Feb 6.-By a vote
of SO to 40, the Wray bill, which
makes a gift of approximately $5,OOO,-
900 of Lave Washington shore lands
to five private owners, including the
Northern Pacific, is today ready for
third and final reading. 1t precipi-
tated a white heat debate in the house
between the progressives and the re-
actionaries. Representative Houser,
who made the sensational waterfront
monopoly charges, whic hwere sub
stantiated by an unfriendly commit
tee, again led the fight against the
theft" Of lands, which will be un-
covered when the lake is lowered in
completing the Lake Washington ca
nal.
1.-THE special interests, now monop-
olizing the Seattle harbor, by this bill,
also want to bottle up the lake
fronts" he said,
He charged Miller, who, with Wray,
were the chief defenders of the bill,
as being the Special interest report
in the house. Wray also injected per-
sonal feeling in the debate.

lately completed by the British govern
ment in the Soudan proves that the re-
markable fertility Of the valley Of the

Of earthworms.
The castings-the earth which pass

the earthworms on one acre of ground
was found to be 239,5SO pounds in the

This means that q lot Of the subsoil
has been brought to the surface, and
also that the land has been put in ex-
cellent condition by the thorough aera-
tion Of the soil made possible through
the runways Of the worms.
The British investigation seems to
prove that every farmer boy who digs
a few worms for fishing is depriving

the soil. And how are we to become
reconciled to the eating of the useful
worms by the birds? But being rea-
soning and reasonable creatures our
selves, let's not worry about either
the birds or the worms, except to
make our farms good homes for them
and give them protection. Nature pro-
vided ways for them to take care of
themselves, The "birdies" look after
the bugs in the trees, and the worm
les" are busy under the ground most
of the time. II We look after our own
duties on the surface, as we should,
we will all get along very nicely to-
gether.
