Of smoke and dust raised about the
fort it is difficult to locate the charging
column and fire effectively on it.
But it is one matter for the besieger
to pass through the intervals and take
the city and another to take the forts.
They are, as a rule. protected by barb
ed wire entanglements. intended to de-
lay the charging infantry and to hold
it under fire from the fort and from
trenches Immediately protecting the
fort. After the barbed wire has been
cut or blown up by land torpedocs,
built especially to smash such obstruc-
tions. the charging columns have to
pass over mined ground. The usual
mines are fougasses, explosives fired
electrically from the fort. which throw
tons of rock or other missiles into the
air. II these barriers are surmounted

close quarters with the fort they find
1t surrounded by a deep ditch. thirty
feet wide, filled with water and defend
ed by machine guns trained lengthwise
along the ditch and infantry fire from
positions along the ramparts inside the
fort. Q
While the fort is powerfully equipped
to protect itself from direct assault, its
fall Is a matter of time when 1t is iso-
lated and besieged. The ring of de-
tached forts is supplied by the belt line

the garrison cannot be obtained.
According to the French theory. the
artillery attack on intrenchments or
Notifications should be kept up until
the charging troops are hand to hand
with the enemy and ready to use the
bayonet. Some Of their commanders
hold that the fire on the enemy's works

value of corn as an agricultural crop.
methods Of tillage, seed selection,
feeding of corn, and in general, de-
tailed advice in regard to the whole
problem of corn raising. The bull
letin is based upon a number of years
of experimentation and cooperative
work carried on between the Ex-
pertinent Station and various farm
ers of the state. 1t will be found ex-
eeedingly valuable to those contem-
plating corn raising.
Closely related to this bulletin is
one upon swine by Professor R. c..

MANY TOWNS WANT
EXTENSION SCHOOLS
Forty-seven Ungranted Requests for
Such Schools Are Now on
File

The work of the Extension De-
partment has been progressing in an
unusually successful manner. Be-
ginning February 25, the depart
ment will mail weekly news letter
to every newspaper in the state. The
purpose of this service is to keep
the state press informed on all mat
ters of interest and value relating
to the work Of the State College.
An extension school was held at
Rockford February ST., inclusive,
with an attendance of $50. The
school held at Wenatchee during the
past week was the largest and most
successful yet conducted. Three
hundred farm were present the
first day and 45O were enrolled and
attended the sessions. The keynote
of the school was diversified farm
ing. Wenatchee is in the center of
successful apple growing section and
has gone fruit mad. Professor Tor
mey, DR.. Nelson, and others pointed
out that much better returns could
be secured, however, if hogs, COWS,
and poultry were raised in much
larger numbers than they are at
present. DR.. Nelson explained why
various live stock experiments have
failed in the past, due to lack of lime
in the soil of that region, and told
how the necessary element could be
supplied.
Dates of other extension schools
to be held during the next four
weeks are as follows:
Washtucna-February 1918.
Ritzville-February 1921.
Almira, Davenport, Reardan, Will
bur, and Creston-February 1928.
dendale-February 1928.
northumberland "a.
Hillyard and Valley, March 81.
Vancouver-March GA.
Almost every town in the state
seems anxious to get its share of
the benefit from the $4,000 appro-
priation made for these schools by
the last legislature. Forty-seven re-
quests, as yet ungranted, are now
on file at the extension office.

DR.. EVANS PLEASES
IN vESPER SERVICE

The vesper program last Sunday
afternoon was given before very
appreciative audience. 1t consisted
entirely of ian organ recital skill
fully executed by DR.. Ernst A.
Evans. Although all the numbers
were overtures, the works of the diff
ferent composers differed greatly in
character. The opening number was
an overture from "Semiramide," by
Rossini. This overture had been
given in recital early in the year,
but was SO well liked that it was
repeated at this service. The second
overture was from "Rosamunde," by
Schubert. The third number, from
Il Puritani," by Bellini, consisted of
three parts: GAY Allegro con fuoco,
OBJ Andante Sostenuto, (c) Allegro
agitato. Lulu" by Kuhlau, was
daintier than the rest, having a very
pretty theme running through it.
The selection from Schumann's
Julius Caesar" an overture rather
majestic in character, fittingly end
ed an interesting program. The
next recital will be given March s.

MEDALS SELECTED FOR
CONFERENCE MEET
Cup Worth $3.50 to Be Awarded
Winning Team May 80

Graduate Manager Bender has
made a final decision in regard to
medals for the Northwest Intercol-
legiate Conference Track and Field
Meet to be held here May 80, and
the medal chosen has met with the
highest approval of every one who
has seen it.
The medal was chosen for its dis
Effectiveness and it is typical of the
Northwest. 1t is slightly oblong in
shape and shows in relief a Greek
athlete throwing the discus. In the
background are shown Mount Raj
nier and Puget Sound fringed with
frs, making the medal at once neat
and appropriate.
The entire set of medals will cost
$150, of which SIS was appropriat-
ed from the Athletic Fund of the
Associated Student Body by the Ath-
letic Committee; $40 by the confer
ence and the rest will be madeup by
faculty subscription. The JOS
Mayer Company of Seattle will make
the medals.
In addition to these prizes the re-
gents voted a $50 cup to be pre-
sented to the winning team in the
meet, and cups for the winning re-
lay team and the highest individual
point winner are being arranged for.
The second "W' day will be cele-
brated on that date and undoubtedly
old grads and former students will
return and get into closer touch with
their Alma Mater.

BUTTER SCORING CONTEST

Final preparations have been COM
pleted for the butter scoring contest
to be held at the Schallinger Pro-
duce Company's creamery plant in
Spokane February % between w. S.
c. and the University of Idaho.
The two teams to represent the
college in the butter judging contest
have been chosen. The three men on
the college team are: c. w. Margan,
A. z. Smith, and R. E. Jenney. Those
on the Dairy Short Course team are:
Allen, Skies, Ross, Rademacher, and
Sato.
The buttermaking class has been
working hard and has been having
great deal of practice scoring of
late. The creamery is expecting a
shipment of New Zealand butter to
| arrive today for scoring purposes.
Professor Holmes thought inasmuch
as the Schallinger Company were
jobbers in New Zealand butter and
were also to furnish the butter sam
pies for the contest, that it would
be we'll to acquaint his men with
that grade of butter in case New
Zealand butter should be introduced
for scoring during the contest. Pull
man will have a chance to sample the
much talked about and much pro-
tested New Zealand butter.

MRS. r.. c. WOODRUFF
LOSES A BROTHER
He Was a Prominent Artist and
Chief of the Clan Macneil of
Scotland

Mrs. r. c. Woodruff of this city
his received news of the death of her
brother, Ambrose Macneil, at Nor
folk, Va, February Is. Deceased
was we'll known artist and promi-
nent citizen of Norfolk, as is indicat-
ed by the following obituary notice:
Professor Ambrose Macneil, a
we'll known resident of Norfolk, died
yesterday morning at st. Vincent's
hospital, after an illness of about
three weeks. His death ends an I'M
usually interesting and notable ca
reer.
Born at st. Stephen, Canada,
June II, 1851, he started at d re-
markedly early age with art, which
became his life work. After study
ing at Paris, his talent developed so
wonderfully that his work soon be-
came widely known.
Upon the death of his father, he
became chief of the Clan Macneil of
DCOlldllh anu I4dllu WV vi Ddil
which gave him the title of Mac
neil of Barra," his full name being
Roderick Ambrose Macneil of Barra.
The greatest number of his clans
men live on the Isle of Barra, in the
outer Hebrides of Scotland, and
many Highland dirge will sound its
lament across the heather-clad hills
and in the matched stone cottages
of the clansmen of that lonely, dis
tant little island when news of the
death of their chief reaches them.
A great many clansmen live on Cape
Breton island, Canada, who will also
mourn his death.
Having been raised in an atmos-
phere of Scottish romance, and find
ing everyone deeply interested in the
stirring history of the clans, he soon
began to give Scottish lectures,
which, added to his ability as a
painter, gave him an international
reputation.
Being of marked intellectual
power, combined with quick wit, he
som etimes took the advantage these
resources gave him and challenged
to public debate some of the leading
politicians of Canada and this coun-
try who happened to hold adverse
opinions. He was a very deep think
err and often wrote articles for the
press and periodicals upon political
science, as we'll as art, and also the
Highlands of Scotland which he
loved so we'll, and which formed the
motif for many of his paintings.
His forte was Scottish marines,
and his ability to portray a misty
glowing sunset, looking over the
water to the dark purple mountains
beyond, has seldom, if ever, been
equalled. He also painted many
portraits, the wonderfully rich col
oring of which seems to have been
inspired by his other work. Among
his works of this kind are portraits
OF many prominent residents of Nor
folk and vicinity.
Professor Macneil was an en-
thusiastic Mason, having risen to the
32nd degree. The beauties of the
Masonic ritual, and it's religious
teachings were especially pleasing to
him. He devoted much time to its
study and was not only we'll in
formed on that subject but wrote
and lectured on its different phases. 3"
