HIGH WINS
FROM LEWIS & CLARK
Humble Spokane High School Basket
ball Team to Tune of 81 to ID
Inland Empire Champion
ship in Sight

BY overwhelming the basketball
quintet from the Lewis and Clark
high school, Spokane, on the local
floor last Friday evening, by score
OF "a to Ia. the Pullman high school
team took a healthy stride toward
the Inland Empire interscholastic
championship and proved that the
local school has by far the best team
in its history and one that will COM
pare fayorably with the best high
school teams in the state.
The game was fast and furious
and Lewis and Clark was clearly out
played in every department from
start to finish. Pullman took the
lead at the outset and the fast and
aggressive work of the two Glovers,
Moss, Price, Henry and Stuckey
proved too much for the touted Spo-
kane quintet and brought JOY to the
hearts of the some 400 spectators
who crowded the gymnasium.
1t would be unfair to pick indi-
yidual stars in the local lineup as
every man gave q creditable account
o. himself. In the first half the bas-
ket tossing of Moss and Price and
the excellent open work of Henry
were the features, but in the second
half the two Glovers got their eyes
on the basket and tossed the ball
into the net with clocklike regular
ity adding ID points to Pullmans
total.
Henry of Pullman and Orion of
Spokane were put out of the game
early in the second half by Referee
link for roughing it, and Stuckey
was sent in for Henry, giving a cred
table account of himself. Andrews
took Orion's place for Spokane.
The score at the end of the first
half was II to in favor of Pull
man, and the locals opened the sec
ond period like whirlwind, annex
ing six field baskets before Spokane
got the dust out of their eyes. While
Moss is credited with only six out
of 10 goals from fouls, he missed
only two, two of his goals being re-
fused by Referee link because he
stepped over the line.

SIX BELOW ZERO

The coolest weather of the winter
was recorded by the government
thermom eter at the college Thurs
day morning at 1880, when the mer-
curry dropped to six degree below
zero. The cold snap came without
warning and many frozen water
pipes resulted. At 9 o'clock Wednes-
day night the thermometer showed
only 20 above, but from that time on
the temperature continued to drop
until the low mark was reached at
1880 Thursday morning. A blanket
OF snow covers the ground and
sleighing is reported good.

PROF. R. c. ASHBY
TO LEAVE v. S. c.
Leaves Washington State College to
Go to Minnesota

Professor Robert G.. Ashby, head
Of the animal husbandry division of
the agricultural department of
Washington State College, has re-
signed his position and will leave
on about the first of March for St.
Paul, Mimi, where he will accept a
position as superintendent of swine
work and investigations at the uni
versity farm in connection with the
University of Minnesota. Professor
Ashby contemplates doing consider
able research work at Minnesota
aside from his duties on the univer-
sity farm. His utilization with the
University of Minnesota will give
that institution three former State
College men, Professor r. w.
Thatcher formerly director of the
experiment station here, and Alex
Carlyle, formerly station cerealist,
being already connected with the
university farm in responsible posi-
tions.
Professor Ashhy has been at W.
S. c. Just three and one-half years.
During his first two years here he
had charge of all extension work,
being the first superintendent of
that division. While engaged in this
work he was very largely instru-
mental in bringing together the
scattered ends of the various activ-
tiles of extension work and making
it the unified, we'll organized part
of college work that it is today.
Following this, for the past year
and a half, Professor Ashby has been
animal husbandman of the college
aud experiment station, having full
charge of all animal husbandry
work. In this time he has made a
splendid beginning, in getting to-
eether a superior show herd of cat
tie, and has built up the equipment
OF animal husbaadry work in the
college to a large degree.
In his class work also Professor
Ashby was very successful, due to
his personality and thoroughness
while under his coaching, stock
Judging teams representing w. S. G.
in four contests competed in by in
situations of the Northwest, won two
firsts, one second and one third
places.
Professor Ashby has also complet-
ed some interesting experimental
work, the results of which will soon
he available for publication.
While his leaving here will be an
occasion of regret for all who know
him. still it is understood that Pro-
lessor Ashby's new position in Min
ncsota is quite an advance, and a
recognition of his ability.

DAIRY FARMERS FORM
TESTING ASSOCIATION
Expert viii BE Employed to Test
Cows Each Month-Careful
Records Will BE Kept of
the Amount of Feed
Consumed

At a meeting of local dairy farm
ers held last Saturday afternoon in
the Chamber of Commerce building
il was decided to proceed with the
organization of COW testing asso-
citation and initial steps toward the
perfection of the organization were
taken. About 80 farmers were pres
ent at the meeting and the senti-
ment was unanim Gus in favor of the
organization, 100 cows being pledged
by the farmers at once. The plan
as suggested at the meeting Satur-
day is to ask the State College to
secure for the association the serv-
who will be employed at a good sal
airy and whose duties will bear the
same relation to the fairy farmers of
the vicinity of Pullman as do those
of the county agriculturistsN to the
grain farmers.
The expert will each month visit
the farm of every member of the
association and make careful test
of each COW, on a basis of produc-
ton and butter fat. The farmers
themselves will keep a detailed ac-
count of the amount and kind of
feed consumed by the dairy amin ais
and these records will be computed
dairy farming in this vicinity on a
more paying basis by discovering the
leaks in the systems used on the diff
ferent farms. The election of Off
GERS for the association was post
poned until later meeting, which
will be called by Professor A. B.
Nystrom, who presided at the meet
ing Saturday. In the meantime Pro-
lessor NystrOm will ascertain as
nearly as possible the number of
COWS which can be secured for the
association. 1t is planned that each
member of the association will pay
his quota of the expenses of the or
ganization, including the salary of
the expert, payment to be made on
basis of so much per COW.
That there is no satisfactory
medium between the dairy and beef
types of cattle was the conclusion
reached by the farmers who attend
ed the meeting Saturday after the
question had been discussed at some
length by R. e. Hundertmark, in
structor in dairy production at the
: State College, and others. That the
so-called dual purpose COW is imprac-
ueable, either from the standpoint
OF the dairy farmer, or the man who
raises few COWS as a side issue,
was the opinion expressed by Mr..
Hundertmark, and this opinion was
shared by almost every farmer pres
ent.
A. B. Nystrom, head of the dairy
department at the college, spoke on
feedlng for Milk Production" and
MS talk contained much of value to
me farmer who makes dairying
ether a paramount or a side issue
Inc possibilities of test association
were discussed from an optimistic
standpoint by j. D. Carson, a pioneer
ualry farmer of this section, who
outlined the great good which could
De accomplished by such an associa-
ton.

SAW HIS SHADOW

Monday was Ground Hog Day,
when the little rodent was supposed
to crawl out of his winter quarters
to investigate the weather prospects.
AS the sun was shining brightly
there is no doubt that he saw his
shadow and lodged back into his
hole to hibernate a while longer, six
weeks, according to tradition.

The Question of Wages.

"Half the wage earners investigated by the State
Factory Commission get less than $500 week A
Young woman must earn 5000 week TO live
dcccntly, earnestly and ehclently
This was the testimony given by DR.. Howard
B. Woollston, the investigator of the New York
State Factory Commission, which has been giving
public hearings in New York City devoted to the
discussion of the wage problem. Much the same
general sort of statement is constantly made in a
great many places in different parts of our country.
Now let it be assumed that all these statements
are true. There is good reason to believe that
many of them are exaggerated and that the con-
dition of the workers is not bad in fact such
testimony indicates. Is not the real question: the
grave question, and the puzzling question that the
public must answer in this case: What can we, the
public, do to remedy the difficulty? And the more
we, the public consider it. is there anything after
all that do to remedy the difficulty that is
to remedy it permanently and efficiently?
The rate of wages that is paid in any locality
and in any business is not dependent upon the
mere spirit of philanthropy in the community, upon
the kind-heartedness the size of the pocketbook
of employer, upon the willingness of the
financial officers of State to levy taxes upon the
whole people whose proceeds shall be distributed
in bettering the condition of wage workers. 1t is
dependent upon the mathematical ratio that exists
,,
offering in any occupation, and the quantity of
work that there is for these workers to do Suppose
it is true that young woman must earn 5000 a
week, or any sum per week that may be named, in
order to live decently. And suppose it is also true
that it is not possible for this young woman to
find work at which 5000 per week can be earnedl
Suppose the work is not therel Or what is saying
the thing, suppose there are more young
women there to do the work than there is work to
dol We may bewail the fact in the newspapers,
but how can we help it?
The question really resolves itself into one of
population and of the relation between the demand
for labor and the supply of labor. Every one sees
that this is the case when one stops to think of
it. But our legislative halls, the columns of our
newspapers the platforms in public assembly rooms,
and even the atmosphere of street corners are
filed with the rawlings of people who are trying to

FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Perry Belmont Urges Cooperation of
All Existing Organizations.

Editor OF The Washington Herald-The
multiplicity of organizations, intended to
promote national defense, demonstrates
the widespread recognition OF the fact OF
our unpreparedness, and the need Of i'm
proving our military and naval establish
ments. The oldest and most influential
society Is the Navy League of the United
States. Some OF the recently organized
patriotic societies are the National Sc
curity League, the National Remount As
ISOLATION, the National Reserve Corps and
the National Defense League, founded
two years ago. At a meeting February
l9, 1912, TO organize the National Remount
Association. I'offered, myself, a sugges-
ton for the formation Of the Army
League, which met with the outspoken
approval of Gen. Wood. Gen. Evans, and
other leading army officers.
In all parts Of the country similar or
ganizations are springing up with great
rapidity. While II has been charged in
some countries that such movements
were being promoted by the sellers OF
war munitions, these organizations are
spontaneous and are supportd by citizens
whose motives are patriotic and unset
fish.
In justice to their membership and in
order that the purposes OF such leagues
can be effectively and economically car
rid out. II is OF the utmost importance
that there should be cooperation and CO.
ordination. They should merge their ef-
forts into a National Defence Federation.

of everybody who Is born into the world and that
the world must supply this living if it is not ready
at hand.
We are not disposed to deny that such con-
tention sounds more or less reasonable, but eco
nomically 1t Is of course fallaey. It deeeives
almost nobody when it is put in concrete form,
but it seems to deceive great many people when
it is deeked out in the dress of philanthropy or
generosity is put in any way so as to appeal to
the natural sympathies of mankind. All this is. of
course, the fundamental proposition of Socialism,
and an attempt to put it in practice for any con-
siderable length of time would bring on universal
bankruptcy. But somehow it seems as If the truth
of the matter, the economic right and wrong of
the matter, can only be made plain to the mass OF
people by little touch of personal bankruptcy or
poverty in each instance where the Socialist theory
is sought to be applied.

il is refreshing at least TO find that there are

hold the record in the matter of acqutting women

In their annual report the District Commission
ets urge upon Congress that they be authorized to
include hereafter in their estimates the amount
necessary to pay the police and fremens pensions,
which are now dependent upon various uncertain
sources of revenue such as certain fines and taxes
there being at present deficit of $55,ooo in the
fund. Their request involves plain business prop
ostion and simple justice to those who have served
the public faithfully and are now dependent upon
their wel-earned pensions for a living The
amount required is comparatively trivial, and the
taxpayers are willing to this just obligation;
in fact they would be glad to see part of the
surplus revenues which they will contribute next
year donated to this purpose. The present pre-
carious system is unbusinesslike and defenseless
from any standpoint Doubtless Congress will see
the wisdom and justice of changing it.
