a few passages were expunged which, it
feared, might give offense to Americas much
needed friends in the mother country.
On the Fourth of July all the delegates except
those of New York (whose representatives signed
a few days later had appended their names to
the document and. had pledged their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor in the cause of
liberty. Then came the moment for the Song of
the Bella song whose reverberations shall not
cease till the last page Of American history has
been written.
Truly prophetic was the biblical motto which
Isaac Norris is said to have chosen for the bell:
Proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all
the inhabitants thereof" And rapturousy did
the assembled multitude and the distant patriots
receive the announcement of the bell, that at
last the 13 colonies had become the IS United
States, and the days of the dominion of the for,

KNIGHTS OF PYTH|AS
MEMORIAL SERVICE
Rev. Harley jackson of the Christian
Church breaches Eloquent
Sermon to About
Forty Knights

Last Sunday morning at II o'clock
about forty Knights of Pythias
marched in a body to the Christian
church to hear a memorial sermon by
the Rev. Harley Jackson. This is an
annual affair with the Pythians and
this year it was made N ore interest
ing by the fact that the sermon was
preached by a brother knight who is
familiar with their order While the
services at the church were the rcgu-
lar Sunday morning services, the ser
mon was prepared in honor Of the
Knights of Pythias and was stron@

showed the speakers thorough

was excellent and the solo was sung
by Mrs. VIM. Porter, who very eff
fectively rendered The Plains Of
Peace"

FRUIT CONDITIONS GOOD

An excellent yield of all kinds or
fruit with exception of plums is the
report of the Pullman and Snake
river fruit raisers. Nearly the en-
tire plum crop was killed by the
frosts of the early spring and will
be almost total failure. The plum
buds became swelled during the
warm weather OF the late winter and
could not withstand the cold wave
which followed. Apricots also suf-
fered to slighter extent, but all
other fruit is maturing satisfactorily
and will return bumper crop. The
apple crop especially will be one of
the best for many years. j. b. Holt,
who has raised fruit in this neigh
borhood for 40 years, is authority
for the statement that never before
has the plum crop failed, a good
yield having always been secured de-
spite spring conditions.

PULLMAN FARMERS
Spring Grain and Gardens Derive
Much Benefit From DOwnpour-
Fall Grain i'm Excellent
Condition

The steady rains of the middle of
the week were welcomed by farm
ers and spring grain and gardens
present a much freshened and i'm
proved condition as a result of the
efforts of Jupiter Pluyius. Some
alfalfa which was in the shock is
thought to have been slightly in
jured, but the great benefit to other
crops will counter balance this in
jury by a thousand fold. Fall wheat
has made an excellent stand and is
already turning color, but the spring
grain was greatly in need of the
soaking which it received. The sea-
son is from 10 days to two weeks
earlier than the average, and the
excellent condition of the growing
crops, together with the almost total
absence of idle land, bespeaks rec
ord crop for Pullman and the Pa
louise country this fall.

SUMMER STUDENTS
TO SNAKE RIVER
{ arryalls viii Transport Summer
school Students to Picnic Grounds
Saturday--MuCh Interest in
Athletic Courses

Many students at the State College
summer session will journey to
Snake river Saturday to enjoy a
day outing. The trip will be made
III large carryalls and mammoth
picnic lunch will add to the pleasure
OF the occasion. While primarily for
pleasure, the trip will afford an eX-
cellent opportunity for the students
OF the botany and zoology courses to
collect specimens, and these opera
tions will be in charge of Professor
". 7. Shaw, curator OF the college
museum. Friday evening the stu
dents of the summer school Will en-
Joy a dance and on Saturday another
OF the series of interpretatiVe read
ings will be given, probably by Pro-
lessor S. f.. Sears.
The enrollme nt this week passed
the 240 mark, and is very salts
factory to college officials. The en-
rollment represents nearly every
state in the Union and the students
range in age from &c to over 80
years. One of the most popular
courses offered this year is that in
athletics and physical education,
under John r. Bender, head of the
department of athletics. over 20 stu
dents, including principally nigh
school principals and instructors who
are called upon to coach some branch
OF athletics, are taking advantage OF
the knowledge of the various athletic
activities stored in the Uranium OF
the w. S. c. athletic mentor, and
every one is entering into the work
with spirit and enthusiasm. The
class has almost finished the work III
football and for the past week have
been turning out in suits to learn the
rudiments of the game, although no
actual scrimmage has been attempt
ed. Basket ball, however, is the pop
ular sport among them, and it is
probable that many more will take
advantage of these classes.

SPECIAL ELECTION
TUESDAY, JUNE 80
Electors viii Decide Whether or Not
To Extend Municipal Limits
Postal Satisfaction Involved

The qualified electors of the city
of Pullman will next Tuesday, June
3d. decide by their votes whether or
not the municipal limits of the city
Of Pullman shall be extended to in
clude a narrow strip of the college
campus on which is located the new
Auditorium building, which will be-
the home of the college postal sub
station in case the election carries.
Hinging on the election is the postal
sub-station, which, according to the
postal regulations, must be installed
IN a building located in the munich
pal limits. None of the college cam
pus is now included in the city lin
its and as it is the desire of the col
lege authorities to house the station
in the Auditorium building, the
petition requesting the election asked
that only narrow strip, beginning at
the extreme southeasterly corner of
Campus Park addition, thence south
40 feet, thence west 100 feet. thence
north to an intersection with the
present city limits line and east to the
point of beginning, be included.
There is thought to be no opposition
to the matter and in all probability
the election will carry by a large vote
in which event the substation will be
installed at once, giving service to
the students, faculty members, the
college and the residents of College
Park addition. A clerk from the local
postoffice will be placed in charge
of the station, which will handle
money order and registry business as
well as common mails.
The ballots for the special election
will contain but two squares, one OPP
posite for annexation" the other OPP
posite against annexation" The
polls will be open from a. m. until
8 p. m. The polling places and cleo
ton officers for the various wards
and the territory proposed to be an
neXed will be as follows:
For territory proposed to be an

r,o,,as Hays VIII Accept $36O.SO
far Injuries or Daughter Sus-
tanned in High School
Accident

Thomas Hays, who presented a
claim for $1119.70 to the school
hoard of District No. SO for injuries
sustained by his daughter, Grace
usvs. will accept $360.80 in full pay
mont for the damages, this amount
having been agreed dpon by a COM
mittee composed of j. N. En- erson,
NJ Reid, George McCroskey, F. NJ.
ssgle and NJ. S. lamar Wednesday
evening, after every phase of the
casa had been investigated thorough
" Mr.. Hays has signified his inten-
tion of accepting the amount named
BY the committee.
The amount asked, $1119.70, was
considered unreasonable by the
school board, and both Mr.. Hays and
the members of the board agreed to
leave the matter with the executive
committee of the Pullman Taxpayers
association for arbitration, both
parties concerned agreeing to abide
BY the verdict of the committee. Be-
cause of connections with the board
of county commissioners and the
school board, respectively, M. w.
Whitlow and B. F. Campbell, mem
bers of the taxpayers executive COM
mittee, asked to be replaced. j. N.
Emerson and M. S. lamar were sub
Stituted. For nearly a month this
committee has been investigating the
case, and the verdict returned was
in keeping with the evidence.
The accident out of which the
claim grew occurred on the evening
Of December 10, 1913, when the
railing on the balcony of the new
high school gymnasium gave way
during basket ball game. A group
Of enthusiastic coed fans crowded
against the railing, which proved de-
fcient in construction and 10 of
them were plunged to the floor be-
low, all sustaining more or less seri-
Gus injuries. Miss Hays, the most
seriously injured of the young ladies,
fell on her face and head, and for
several days after the accident bled
almost necessarily from the mouth
and nostrils. Several claims for in
juries were submitted to the school
board and all were paid, with the ex-
ception of the Hays claim, which was
considered exorbitant.
