tically on a cash basis. We had to
drop about $50 persons a year for
three years, losing all the way from
$3.50 to $3.50 per year. but We con-
sidered it wiser to do that than take
chances on further loss by contribu.

HOW TO make
A FARM GATE

We have two wagon gates through
which we must pass very often-Often
dozen or more times every day-says
a correspondent Of Home and Farm.
The boys live on one hill and the old
folks on the other and between the
two places is COW pasture three-quar-
tiers of a mile long, part woodland and
part cleared land.
To get down and unfasten these gates
at every such passing would be great
deal of trouble and III the run of year
would take time enough to do lots Of
other work. So 1t has been arranged to
avoid this. Both gates are hung to
open inward. so that COW. horse or
mule cannot push 1t open, and are
hung so they will fall shut Of their own
accord. They are both light. one be-
ing made Of three I by bars. so they
will not pound themselves to pieces
1t is no trouble ut all to pass through,
even with led horse, and there Is

HEAVY SNOW FALL
ON THE CASCADES

Snow fell fell at the rate Of I
foot an hour in the Cascades
for sixteen hours Sunday and
Sunday night, practically sus-
pended all traffic for few
hours, which was not resumed until
Monday afte, noon. The two small
rotaries undertook to clear the track
but soon both were stuck hard and
tight. but when the big rotary Was
sent out from this city. the track
was soon cleared. The c. M. L. p.
S. has temporarily suspended frame
west of the Cascades and is using the
N. p. tracks and will continue to do
so until their road can be cleared.
The numerous deep cuts ON the c.
NJ. & P. S. road make it hard to keep
the way open and the company will
no doubt in time have to resort to
some method other than snowplovs
to keep an open road.

CLOVER FOR THE SOIL.
Il Will Mako Poor Land Richer and
Can Be Grown Easily.


The trouble with soils when they
cease to produce as they did when new
is not that the elements Of plant food
are actually exhausted from the soil,
but the necessary forces for the liberia
ton are exhausted. One Of these
forces is bacteria. 1t Is estimated
that In the common soil there are $50
million bacteria to the ounce. These
bacteria must have humus (decayed
vegetable matter) for their food; then
they will liberate food for the growth
of plants.
The supply Of humus. the supply of
nitrogen. the ply steal condition Of the
soil. the penetration. aeratiOn and
porosity Of the subsoil, can be estab-
lished by the growth Of sweet clover
at a cheapness that Is startling Nor
is it hard plant to grow. 1t Is one
Of the hardest Of the leguminous
plants. 1t seems to establish itself
on old, wornout soils where other
legumes will not grow at all and where
field crops grow so poorly as not to
pay. Owing to these characteristics
and to the fact that its bacteria are
capable of living and prospecting on
the roots Of alfalfa. 1t is perhaps the
best possible plant with which to pre-
cede alfalfa in sections where there
is difficulty in securing successful
growth Of that plant.-Kansas Indus

THE ALL DAY.
MEETING GOOD

The "All-Day" meeting of the
Christian church yesterday was a
grand success from start to finish,
and it was certainly out of the reg
ular order in this respectable din
merit being second to no dinner
ever served in this city and was pre-
pared from the ground up by the men
of the organization. About 1875 peo-
pie were fed, and we do not draw
on our imagination when we say that
all present were thoroughly satisfied
and enjoyed themselves to the limit.
More such feasts and good fellow
ship would add spiritual strength
and vigor to that body.
After the luncheon the following
officers were elected by unanimous
vote to serve the congregation:
Elders-Three-yea term: Way

Two-year term, Arthur Hutchens;

PRETTY APPROACH TO FARMHOUSE.

PRETTY APPROACH TO A FARMHOUSE.
the standpoint Of convenience and Of
securing an attractive landscape effect,
deserve special consideration.
A well thought out plan Is the first
requisite to get these results. as In
the absence Of definite scheme ser-
GUS mistakes are likely to be made.
This plan should include the location
Of buildings. drives. walks. trees,
shrubbery. and every other feature
which contributes either to the con-
vcnience or ornamentation Of the place.
1t should be developed with the
larger relationships always in mind
The location Of the house and farm
buildings is the first consideration.
Even though 1t happens that some or
all Of these are already on the ground,
plan for their location Is important.
New farm homes are erected to sup.
plant old ones and other new farm
structures are added, which make prac-
ticable general consideration Of the
entire building scheme. Material i'm
provement can often be made In
farmstead by a REIMBURSEMENT as new
buildings are put up. though the best
results are obtained where things are
planned right from the start

1918 OUGHT TO
CHANGE THINGS

To every thinking man, farmer.
merchant or laborer, we say, develop
your home community, says one of
our exchanges.
The farmer and laborer can. if
they will, develop the home market
or at least. do much in that direction,
increasing property values, thereby
lowering taxes and accomplish much
good.
This can be done in great mea-
sure by patronizing home merchants
and home merchants patronizing
home farmers ad home laborers.
Before buying your next money
order to be sent to some mail order
house for a bill of goods give your
home merchant an opportunity to
make you cash price on the goods
you desire. We say cash, because
you must pay cash when you send
away for your goods, and there is
quite difference between cash
system and a credit system. Per-
haps you may not know it, perhaps
you do. but we want to tell you it
costs money to carry accounts and
all mail order houses realize this
fact. The home merchant can buy
cheaper for cash and of course sell
cheaper for cash.
Now that we have entered upon
1913 let each and every one of us
resolve to spend every dollar that we
possibly can at home. that we may
stand a show of getting to spend that
self-same dollar once or more again
before the ideas of December pass
over us. The merchants of Ellens-
burg are not entirely blameless for
existing conditions as they are. In
their desires to build up a good bus
mess, they have trusted Tom, Dick
and Harry. Tom paid in due season
but Dick was slow, very slow, took
his own time for it, while Harry
would not pay at all. never expected
to do so when he contracted the
debt Hence, Mr.. Merchant must
employ a bookkeeper at good sal
airy, which you must help to pay,
and at the end of the year Mr.. Mer-
chant finds that a snug sum must be
charged up to loss. hence, he must
sell at better figure, which you
must pay, whether YOU be farmer.
laborer or merchant.
Right here we want to say in con-
clusion that the credit system is
ruination and is directly and Indirect
thy responsible for more downright
dishonesty than all else combined.
You may or may not agree with us,
we care not, but the sentiment eX-
pressed above is our honest and can
did opinion. and we have reached
such conclusions by actual expert
ence. The cash system begets
friends, makes friends. The credit
system begets and makes enemies.
