In an effort to prevent the an
nual importation into the Inland
Empire of $40, 100000 worth of
agricultural products, the bus
mess men of Spokane will COM
mence this fall a three-year cam
paign for more corn, alfalfa,
poultry, hogs and dairying in the
tributary territory.
Professor Perry G. Holden, the
famous Iowa corn expert, has
been engaged to direct the work,
which will cover eastern Wash
ington.
A series of "alfalfa automobile
trains" will be run in all direc-
tions from Spokane next October,
to carry the message Of alfalfa
growing from the towns directly
to farmers homes, schoolhouses
and fields. Thereafter the cam
paign will be directed toward
bringing about more corn grow
ing and hog, cattle and poultry
raising.
The states of Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho and Montana annually
import $29, 600, 600 worth of pack
ing house products and enough
other things, such as dairy pro-
ducts, poultry and eggs, to swell
the total to $40, 100000. We
ought to be raising all these
things right here, where we have
every requisite for their success
full production. In many sections
Of this county our farmers are
demonstrating that soil and clim-
ate are adapted to the growing
of corn and alfalfa, and the large
importation Of dairy products,
cattle. poultry, eggs and hogs
makes the market a splendid one.

The democrats in the national
house of representatives have
handled the tariff question as one
of business, not politics, and have
passed a bill such as the public
demanded last election. In the
senate, however, the republicans
are trying to make it a political
proposition, not one of business.
The result is going to be that the
American people will take a hand
in the matter at the next election,
and definitely weed out tt ose in
dividuals who refuse to legislate
for the people, but cling to the
old method of legislating for the
favored few who produce the
cash to pay for such services.

TEXAS HAS ONLY "DOGAR00"

The city of San Antonio, Texas,
boasts of being the home Of the only
"Dogaroo' in the world, or at least the
only one In captivity. The animal has
puzzled both Mexican and American
naturalists. The "Dogaroo" is owned,
and was brought from Mexico, by Don
Manuel Rodriguez, former Mexican
lieutenant under General Madero in the
Mexican revolution. ''Brijida," as the
animal has been named, resembles
dog in that she barks and wags her
tail, and her short front legs and large
stout hind legs bear similarity to
those of a kangaroo. A pouch under
meath the animals abdomen resembles
the pocket in which the female kan
garoo carries its young. The vegeta-
rian habits, typical Of the Australian
kangaroo, are missing and the animal
eats the same food as the ordinary
Mexican hairless dog, being exception
ally fond of enchilados and tortillas

BANK-NOTES THAT SPEAK

An English bank-note expert has
recently invented a method that will
insure the paper currency Of that
country against forgery.
The principle Of this invention lies
in the application to the edge Of a
bank.note of a pictorial" record Of
some specially arranged phrase. A
bank-note so provided would, when
placed in a phonograph, reproduce this
phrase for the benefit Of the bank
manager or the person disputing the
genuineness of the note.
Assume that the code phrase for
G5 note is "G5 note" This would be
extremely unlikely but would serve to
illustrate the point. pictorial record
of the oscillations produced during the
utterance of the phrase would be made
and a die cut capable Of reproducing
the peculiar wave lines. With this die
the edge of G5 notes would be per.
forated. The note then becomes, in
addition to a unit in currency, phono.
graphic record of its own genuine.

On a rough estimate, 1t is declared
that 100000 square miles, or one
eighth OF the total land surface Of the
world are waiting to be discovered.
Some 100000 Of this lies in the Arctic
regions Of the north, but among the
frozen tracts that form "Antarctics"
in the south, where Scott and his gal
liant followers we're penetrating, near
ly 100000 square miles are delegated
to the sole use Of the whale, penguin
and other animals and birds Of the
frozen zone.
In Arabia 1t seems that there is a
tract of land unexplored which is near
ly five times as large as Great Britain.
Probably there is no more desolate
waste to be found in the entire globe
than that which is called the dwell

NOT BAD FOR AN AMATEUR

Favored One.

He was a very literary young man

had succeeded in attracting him as he
had never been before. He was ex-

his precious inexperience in the line
of love making he felt keenly at this
particular time.
Try as he would, he seemed un-
able to pay her any direct compliment

EASY TO LIVE A CENTURY

1t is a remarkable fact that II cen

sively proves, says the Herald of the
Golden Age, that it is possible for near
ly every well-conducted person to live a
century, and that there is no need for
most people to die before they have
reached half the century mark. 1t is
only a matter of hygienic living, alb
stinence from poisonous foods and
from excessive eating and drinking,
combined with plenty of honest work,
buseful exercise and moderate amount
Of recreation. AS the world needs
