COOPERATIVE LUNCH ROOM WINS
Washington Bureau of Printing Solve:
High Living Cost Problem.

Director Ralph. in solving the high
cost of living for the 410o employees of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
at Washington, has arranged it 50 that
these people get food at the lowest pos
sible cost. Twenty cents n meal is the
average cost to each eater. Ralph Is of
the belief that the sans system he has
installed at the bureau can he instituted
in the big cities.
Instead OF the employees of the bureau
bringing their lunch, Ralph installed a
lunch room. which is comparatively
owned by those who dine there.
The 400 employees OF the bureau were
told of the new scheme before it was
installed. so that it was through their
cooperation that the present system
was brought about, The men each put
up 81 to start their lunch room. The
women we,~ taNed 80 cents. all who
could afford it. And they merely loaned
the money. In two months time. when
the system has been six months old this
money will be refunded.

CULTIvATING MORE GROUND.

More acreage Is being plowed this spring pre-
paratory to cultivation than for number of
years according to County Assessor j. C. Sans
whose attendance upon his duties takes him all
over the county He explains the increase by
two things: That the farmers of the county APP
pear to be livelier and more wideawake, and that
of the older farms of the county have been
bought this winter by newcomers who propose to
develop them.
Whatever the reason, the result should be
most gratifying to all those who appreciate the
fact that the agricultural development of Thur
ston county means the establishment of the coun-
ty on sound, substantial basis. There are those
who accuse the farmer of this section of laziness
say the climate, the prolific growth of most crops,
Or something else makes them so INDECENT that
they do not improve their farms they should
but we do not take much stock in the accusation.
There may be some lazy farmers around here
we don't doubt that, for there are lazy doctors
and lazy lawyers and maybe few lazy printers
and editors--but we do think that the farmer
who amounts to anything in his community, and
there are many Of them throughout this county,
: the man who is active rand energetic. All of
rs have little use for the others.
This is one Of the Oldest counties in the state
N point Of settlement, yet its agricultural develop
snent has Jagged so far behind that of some other
counties that the amount Of acreage cultivated is
small compared to the amount available. Con-
sequently every indication that more fertile
sre being added to the producing part Of our
ssunty 3 life is of the most encouraging signs
{ sf the times.
