so called tobacco wireworm causes an
annual loss Of $4,000 to tobacco and

been working on this problem through
Its bureau Of entomology.
1t has been found that the females ~
this species lay their eggs in weedy
fields in July and August. These eggs
hatch In few days. The young

2nd. Many of the assessors
did not make an assessment of the
leased sites on railroad right of
way and it would be obviously UNI
fair to tax leased sites in one To-
cality and not in another. More
over in districts where the asses
sors did return the assessments
the valuations were in few if any
cases the same as the valuations
placed upon the property by the
tax commission.
3rd. Many pieces of property
were omitted by the tax commits
sion in their list and the values
named on the several descriptions
were so obviously unfair and un-
equal that it was apparent that if
the assessment was made as or
dered by the tax commission the
county would be involved i'm much
litigation.

REJuvENATING POTATOES.
French Agricultural Scientists Ar,
Solving the Problem.

French Agricultural Scientists Are
Solving the Problem.
For several years potatoes have been
more and more afflicted by diseases
that are signs Of degeneracy. The
reason Is that the potato is a plant
that has grown senile. enfeebled by
many centuries Of a-sexual reproduc-
tiQn. Potatoes are not grown from
oeed. but by the budding of tubers. A
potato is cut up and its eyes grow
into new plants.
Three French agricultural scientists
determined that the potato must be re.
juvenated and that this could be done
only by growing new race from seed.
They found this a difficult and weari-
some process, for 1t takes several years
before plants grown from seed de-
velop tubers large enough to be Of any
use. But Messrs. Sartory. Gratiot and
Thiebaut, the scientists in question,
called to their aid fungus that has
tens the growth Of tubers.
In the spring Of 1911 they obtained
sixty plants which in the autumn de-
veloped tubers of varying size. averag-
ing the size of hazel nut, while few
weighed as high as FIVE ounces and
were eatable. These larger potatoes
were carefully kept and planted in
1912. They produced vigorous plants
that seemed proof against all the dis
eases from which those all around
them were suffering.
Each clump yielded very large po-
tatoes. averaging from eight to nine
pounds to the clump. One Of the tubers
grown from seed in 1912 sent up in
1913 eight clumps bearing sixty-four
potatoes. weighing together more than
eighteen pounds The crop Of 1913.
grown from seed with the aid of the
fungi. was much better than that Of
1911.

similar lines back in the early seven.

The tax commission, for reasons
best known to themselves placed a
value of $4,000 on this proper
ty and ordered taxes to be paid ON
that valuation for six years back.
1t was afterwards ~~'urned by the
assessor at 100000. The valua-
ton named by the tax commission
on the property rented by me was
proportionately higher than any
other of the one hundred and
twenty five pieces of property
named on the tax commission list.

there is no single lumber yard in
Richland County on which as
much tax is paid as on the McCul-

THIRTEEN NO 100000
 FOR NEW ACT NO. }
COMBINATION AVOIDED BY SU- PERSTITIOUS, FIGURES IN
 PUBLICITY LAW.

The number "13" long was consid- cred unlucky and hoodo. President Wilson brought the number into favor when it became known that his birth occurred on the thirteenth of the month and that he had great confidence in anything and all things labeled "13."
 The inception of Special Act No. 3, the publicity law which became effect i've yesterday, strangely enough, was on the thirteenth day of May in the year 1913, during the meeting of the Arkansas Press Association at Mari anna, says the Arkansas Gazette. It became effective on the thirteenth day of the present month, when the gov ernor issued his proclamation and the first thing to be published under it's provisions is the general order of the Railroad Commission reducing express rates for newspaper packages, which was promulgated Wednesday, October 13.
 Investigation of the act from it's launching until it became effective, discloses the following interesting facts: It was first suggested May 13, 1913; initiative petitions were filed with the secretary of state May 13, 1914; campaign headquarters for the measure were maintained for exactly 13 weeks; the campaign literature featured the views of President Will son, who was born on the thirteenth the campaign was concluded Septem- Der IS; the governors proclamation declaring the act in effect was issued October IS; and the first matter re- quiring publication under the law was promulgated October 13.

CurioSities at the Exposition

With the Panama exposition less than
a year away, the artists and craftsmen
OF the country are working between
times producing oddities and curiosities
that they hope may win blue ribbons,
medals, or gold coin. One oddly will
be a rustic chair, which a manufacturer
OF rustic furniture in New Jersey is
himself personally constructing, and
which, will be called THE Governors
Chair" and the other will be an inlaid
table which is occupying the spare
hours OF city fireman in Omaha, Ne
braska, and which will be called The
Governors Table, The rustic manu-
facturer has asked each governor to fur
nish a piece Of wood, with bark on, ma
tive to the governors state, while the
Omaha fireman asks for block OF hardi
wood from each state. In each block
will be inlaid silver plate bearing the
signature Of the governor giving the
block.
Governor Lister has sent the New
Jersey manufacturer three-foot strip Of

trend OF values regardless Of the views
of the radical few who disagree with
the average property holder as to what
real values are.
We are making a classification OF the
real estate in the three months allowed
in which to finish the work. I wish to
do it with the least added expense pos
sible and yet get fair results, A proper
classification such as we need badly
in this county and such a one as sew
eral of the counties OF this State have
would cost at least $4,000 and take
the better part OF two years. This can
be put off for time as the general
feeling is that taxes are high enough.
1t will greatly facilitate the work if
each property owner will make rough
draft Of his holdings including the num-
Der and varieties of all fruit trees
thereon.

Assessor Addresses Taxpayers

The work of making the assessment
of all property in Chelan county is
now under way and 1 again wish to
call to the attention of the taxpayers
that I want their cooperation to the
fullest extent.
We are giving more attention to the
various elements which make up the
total value of each piece OF real estate
than ever before. This is necessary
from the fact that we are considering
the value of the fruit trees in placing
our values.
1 have engaged a very competent
force OF deputies and will give all OF
my time to the field work among the
several men so employed thus giving
the men new to the work the benefit
of my experience and judgement OF
how the work can be most eouitably
done. These deputies have been
picked with the object in view of en-
ploying men in this work who have a
good general knowledge Of values, also
men who will be fair and impartial to-
ward all, and last but not least, cour'
teous to and considerate of the opin-
ions Of the various taxpayers. In no
circumstance do I approve of or will I
tolerate arbitrary treatment Of any one
by my deputies. At the same time
we must follow the revenue laws as
they now exist and also the general
