GAVE THEIR BLOOD
TO SAVE INVALID
Veterinary Students at w. S. G.
Probably Saved Life of Guy
Hubbard, Student From
MabtOn

Guy Hubbard, student at the
Washington State College, whose
home is in Mabton, Wash, probably
owes his life to the students of the
veterinary department of the insti-
tuition, who gave freely of their
blood to make possible an operation
which was highly successful. Hub
bard for several years has been af-
flicted with a peculiar disease of
frequently bleeding from the nos
trils. Several days ago he was at
tackled with one of these spells, and
not only did the blood come from
the nostrils, but he suffered sub
forming in small spots under the
skin, especially around the joints.
These small spots would enlarge and
unite and form large blotches. Blood
also flowed into the stomach and
from the gums.
All the ordinary medical treat
ments, including the use of chem
icals, packing by various methods
and dieting, were of no avail, and
for three days and nights the blood
flowed almost constantly in large
volume until there was scarcely
enough left to sustain life. The con-
dition of the patient was critical,
and the attending physician decided
upon an injection of human serum
as the only means of relief.
The case was called to the atten-
ton of the veterinary class, and
every member of the class volun-
teered to give of his own blood in
sufficient amount to obtain the
serum. DR.. S. B. Nelson, head OF
the veterinary department and chair

SPOKANE COMMISSIONER

Commissioner c. M. Fassett yes
terday addressed a large audience
of students and townspeople in the
college auditorium on the subject
Ideals of citizenship"
An ideal is a mark which we set
for our conduct and attainment"
said Commissioner Fassett The
money ideal is mistake. The key
note to a happy and useful life is
service. The problems of our
fathers days have changed because
of new conditions. We must try to
work out some of these problems by
honesty, justice and optimism. Gov
eminent has been unjust in paying
too much attention to property, and
too little to men.
ITO get the benefit of a splendid
ideal we must be willing to sacrifice
personal consideration for the pub

A GOOD PROGRAM
At HIGH SCHOOL
Well Attended and Very Interesting
Parents-Teachers Meeting Was
Held Last Friday Afternoon

A parents-teachers meeting was
held in the auditorium of the high
school last Friday afternoon, which
was attneded by about 60 parents,
many of them men. After a short
musical program by high school
pupils, Superintendent Ellis talked
on the Importance of children acquir-
ing habits of obedience, diligence
and truthfulness at home. He placed
obedience as the m ost important and
argued that all these habits are very
hard to acquire after a child has
passed the age of six years.
Principal Eyre discussed the social
activities of the school and the i'm
portance of home study. He stated
that in the high school, an advisor
had been appointed for each class,
and that no social gathering could
be held without the consent of the
advisor. Many times the pupils hold
social gatherings which have nothing
to do with the school and can not
be regulated by the teachers. The
parents should look after such gath
erings. He urged that school credits
should be given to high school boys
who use their spare time in learn
ing some trade and to the girls who
perfect themselves in sewing, millin-
cry work and other domestic occupa-
tions.
G. R. Kerns talked on the import
ance of agricultural work in the
schools and urged the parents to CO.
operate with and encourage the chill
dren who are taking this course.
Helpful short talks wore given by
]. w. Mathews, Mrs. Elton Fulmer,
Mrs. Harley Jackson, and Mrs. A.
r. Jinnett, after which the girls In
the domestic science department
served dainty refreshments, which
they had prepared.

will be sufficient for this. And at
that time also, provided the 100000
water bonds carry, a sinking fund
should be started to pay them. These
bonds at that time will have 13 or
IA years yet to run and levy OF
1 1-3 mills will be sufficient to pay
them, even il the assessed valuation
of the property of the city should be
no large building (aa
no higher than it is now. This would
make a total levy of 10 2-3 mills or
l 1-3 mills less than we are now pay
ing, to pay our current expenses, pay
the interest on the bonded indebted
ness and raise the money to pay the
bonds when they become due.
1t is quite probable that the issue
of $4,000 wather bonds would be
paid without having at any time a
higher tax levy than we have now.
This would undoubtedly be the case
if the sinking funds to pay our bond
ed Indebtedness should be started at
the time our old Indebtedness fund
shall be paid in full.
The benefit of an adequate water
supply for household use and for
fire protection is SO apparent that it
needs no discussion here. This bene-
fit, when compared with the small
outlay of money that will be re-
CURED each year to obtain it should
mould our decision on the question
of the water bonds.
Personally, | believe the city coun-
ell is on the right track and should
have the support of every citizen in
the legitimate expenditure of enough
money to make our water system
what it should be.

Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1914-02-13

the only tax levy that the bonds
would require for several years
would be enough to pay the annual
interest. AS the bonds must be, by
law, sold at not to exceed six per
cent the interest on $4,000 bonds
would be not to exceed $1,000 per
year. On 100000 valuation it
would be necessary to make a levy
of one and one-third mills to raise
the $1,000 interest. This would
mean an additional tax of only 1873
per $1,000 of assessed valuation.
1t does not necessarily follow,
however, that actual taxes paid
would be $1.33 per $1,000 of valua-
ton more than we are paying now,
or in fact any more, for the reason
that in the budget this year are items
which will not have to be provided
for next year. These items may re-
duce the tax levy so much that with
the addition of the levy for interest
on the water bonds the taxes may
actually be less than they are now.
This is not only a possibility, but it
is quite a probability. However, in
| order to show the change in the tax
levy which varying conditions will
make in future years we will assume
that the levy will stay where it is
now for current expenses. 1t can't
go any higher for it is at the limit
now.
Our present levy for city purposes
is 81 mills. This addition of 1 1-3
mills for interest on water bonds
would make % 1-3 mills provided it
might be necessary in coming years
to make the same levy as at present
for other purposes.
You may say, Eyes, that is all
right, but that only pays teh interest.
What kind of burden will we be
under when we go to m aking the
levy for the sinking fund to pay off
the bonds?"
Well, let us see. In looking up
the items of the city's indebtedness
we find there is hanging over us
debt of about $10,50O of old indebt-
edness fund warrants which have ac-
cumulated something over $4,000
of interest. The law provides that
levy of six mills may be made for
the purpose of paying off this class
or Indebtedness. For some years
the council has been making a levy
of s mills, which in round numbers
/ is raising $4,000 per year. This is
reducing the principal of these old
warrants about $500 per year and
the balance goes to pay the interest
on the $500 of warrants paid At
this rate this old Indebtedness. NAV
it be said to the credit of the citi-
zens of Pullman, will be paid in full
III about seven years more. Then it
will no longer be necessary to make
the levy of 5 mills for this purpose,
and If current expenses should re-
quire at that time the same levy as
now the dropping of the 5-mill levy
from the % 1-3 mills which we may
have been paying will leave levy of
OILY II 1-3 mills.
At that time, seven years hence,
the $1,000 water bonds will still
have II years to run and the sinking
fund should be started to pay them.
A levy OF approximately one mill

Extend Summer School

DR.. A. e. Evans, principal of the
summer school, asked for an extern
sion of the session from six to nine
or II weeks. Inc request was
granted, but the longer periods will
not be inaugurated until 1915. The
reason for deferring the extension of
time was that the college buildings
now under construction will take all
the available funds. An appro-
priation was made to cover the ex-
penses of taking the college and state
exhibit of grains and grasses to the
National Corn Show at Dallas, Tex

B.F. Campbell on City Finances

The proposition of the city coun-
Gil to vote $4,000 water bonds for
the improvement of the city water
system seems to have caused some
agitation as to whether we can stand
this increased burden of taxation.
This agitation is perfectly right and
proper, but it should take the form
of complete and systematic investi-
cation of the financial condition of
the city and a thorough analysis of
the problem to determine just what
the added financial burden will be
for each taxpayer per year when
spread out over a series of years, as
it will be. Then when we have
reached the solution of this problem
which shows us what the cost per
year will be for each individual, COM
pare that cost with the benefit TO be
gained by the expenditure and we
have correct basis for our decision
upon this question at the polls.
Following this outline to its log
ical conclusion, let US first look into
the financial condition of the city
and see what the facts are.
Sometimes we get scared to death
when somebody comes along and
tells us that the city is in debt be-
yond the legal limit already and tina;
the council is trying to load on some
more. And we are frequently told
that Pullman is in debt beyond the
legal limit.
Now let us see what this legal
limit is in regard to the water sys-
TEN.
We find on investigation that the
general Indebtedness of the city may
be five per cent of the assessed Valu-
alton of the property of the city.
Then in addition to this the citizens
of the city may vote another five
per cent Indebtedness for the pur-
pose of building or improving the
water system. Our assessed valua-
tion at this time is above 100000.
but to make it figure easy we will
use the round number of 100000.
Five per cent of this am mount is $45,-
900. In other words, the legal limit
of Indebtedness for the building of
Pullman's water system is, in round
rumber, $4,000. Our present bond
ed Indebtedness for water system is
only $11, 900. Therefore, if we
should vote the $4,000 bonds as
called for by our present council we
should have $4,000 of water bonds,
which would still leave us $4,000
below the legal limit of Indebtedness
purposes alone.
So much for the legal limit. Now
let us figure out what the added
burden of taxation will be.
The law provides that levy shall
be made each year sufficient to pay
the annual interest on bonded in
Gebtedness, and that at proper time
not less than seven years before a
bonded Indebtedness becomes due, a
| levy shall be made each year to Gre
ate sinking fund for the purpose of
paying these bonds when they be-
come due.
AS the bonds in question would be
20-year bonds, it would not be neces-
sary to make levy for the sinking
fund for several years. Therefore

Fruit Raising

w. S. Thornber of Lewiston spoke
enthusiastically of the prospects In
fruit raising in the Northwest when
combination of live stock and or
charding is practiced, and predicted
that instead of decreasing in acreage
and productivity, the fruit industry
would increase greatly in the next
four years. The subject of his adj
dress was Live Stock in the Or
chard," and as reasons for making a
general practice of combining the
two lines he stated that live stock
solves the by-product problem, adds
to the fertility and helps the man
with small capital to weather the
off years" of the business. He adj
yocated the growing of alfalfa be-
tween the rows of trees in all irri-
gated districts, stated that cow and
a SOW, with calf and litter, could be
kept on every acre of orchard, and
clinched his argument by showing
what had actually been done in that
line.
Do Not Keep Fall Litter OF Hogs

animal on the farm" said Professor
Thornber, "but it does not pay to
keep the fall litter. Wintering is too
expensive, and small roasters COM

Farmers Week" opened at the
Washington State College Monday
with large attendance of repre-
sentative stockmen, fruit growers,
and grain men from all parts of the
Northwest.
A feature of Farm ers' Week Is the
large number of farmers who are lis
tening to the programs as delegates
from farmers organizations. The
Rockford local of the Farmers Union
sent four delegates.
Garfield local has two representa-
tives at the meetings and various
other local Unions and Oranges are
represented by one or more dele
gates who are charged with the re-
sponsibility of learning all that is
possible of advanced farm methods
and taking this information to their
home organizations, thus broadening
the scope of the Farmers Week by
many fold.

May Manufacture Hog Cholera Serum

May NAahuIacture Hog Cholera Serum
The board called upon the depart
ment of veterinary science to submit
to the regents at the annual meet
ing in April data relative to the
COST OF establishing plant for the
manufacture of hog cholera serum.
The veterinary department asked
the last two state legislatures for an
appropriation for this purpose, but
each request has been refused. The
recent heavy losses In this state and
Idaho from cholera have alarmed the
public and the demand for the plant
for the manufacture of the serum has
become very insistent. Regent Troy
recently lost 800 head of hogs from
the disease.

Soil Fertility
The first mornings session was
devoted to a consideration of soil
fertility and many points of value
to Inland Empire farmers were
brought out. G. G. Thorn of the
soils department OF the college dis
cussed THE Development and Main
tenance of Soil Fertility" and among
other things said, -Four things are
necessary for soil fertility: food,
moisture, humus, and good tillage.
There are four elements which are
necessary that the soil may have
plenty Of plant food. These elements
are nitrogen, potash, phosphorus
and lime. 1t is necessary for the in
diyidual farmer of the Northwest to
find out just what food elements his
crops are taking out of the soil and
to supply these elements in the form
of manure, or through the use of
crop rotation.
Lock the stable door before the
horse is stolen, for in the long run
it is dollars in your pockets If you
put back into the soil each year the
equivalent of what you take out.
The way to do this is to practice ro-
tation of crops, rather than to stick
to single cropping system, as prac-
ticed SO largely, and to put manure
staw, and stubble onto the land-ap-
plying it, of course, with good judg-
ment-no dry land farmer should
think of applying heavy layers of
manure, for his crop will stool out
big and then dry up on him. You
must mix gray matter with barnyard
manure. The average value of barn
yard manure to the farmer Is about
Sc ton.
"If you have livestock on the farm
or If you can buy manure for less
it does not take much figuring to
see where the profit comes in. In
a 50-year test of land with wheat
cropped every year, the average was
IL bushels, while wheat with ma
nure applied to the land at the rate
OF seven tons per acre gave a So
year average of 80 bushels per acre.
The man who rotates and uses barn
yard manure need never fear of his
fertility running out"
