There is nothing under the sun
quite so quaint, so weird and witch
like as the pandanus prairies of
Fiji The pandanus, or screw plant
as it is called, is a most grotesoue
specimen of the vegetable kingdom
even at the best and in the early
stages of its growth. In its very
young days it is Of an extraordi-
narily screwlike shape and looks as
though some unkind hand had tax
en- hold Of its long, swordlike leaves
and twisted them round and round.
Later on it straightens out a bit,
and from it grow a number of tall
wooden stills. It's foliage is sim
pie, number of dropping, ragged
tufts, for all the world ike mons
and very mournfuI looking. Among
these mops hangs the fruit, in
shape like pineapple, made up Of
hard red and yellow kernels, woody
and fibrous and quite UNBEATABLE
from a Europeans point of view.

Women Oyster eathsrsrs.

The work Of oyster collecting
and culture is most unsuitable for
women, but in France, owing to it's
tedious nature, it does not appeal
to men. Often from an early hour
in the morning till late into the
evening the women are standing up
to their knees in water, with o
strong sun beating down on them.
The result is that never a year
passes without some Of them going
mad and having to be hurried away
to the asylums. The work is well
paid, as, indeed, it ought to be,
while in the case Of the few who
own beds the profits are large, and
small fortunes are quickly amassed.

DON'T ABUSE YOUR EYES.

The woman whose eyes suddenly
commenced to hurt went TO consult
an oculist concerning them. She
expected him to give them q per.
functory examination and then
make some change in her glasses,
but instead of that he put her care
fully through a number of tests
and then began to question her.
"What have you been doing to

EEENtN BILL IN BRIEF.

There are some $4,000 words in the
currency hili-here, in 1870 words. is a
statement of its aims, prepared by
Frederic e. Howe for an Eastern mag
aziue;
!. To cheaper the cost OF credit to
the usiness men and farmers of the
country
?. TO make credit available on more
equal terms, and to free II from con
troll by few large baking groups,
and especially by Wall Street.
8. To provide for the easy eXpan-
sion and contraction of the currency
and credit to meet seasonal and other
industrial emergencies.
4. To mobilize the credit of re-
gion and keep the deposits of each sec
ton within that section and prevent
their flowing to Wall Street to be used
for speculative rather than for indus
trial purposes.
5. To retire the United States bond
secured currency of the national banks
and to substitute therefor currency
based upon the currently created
wealth of the country.
This is very brief but it puts into the
fewest words the best explanation of
the currency bill we have found in
any newspaper or magazine. Cut 1t
out and save it,

The New Year and LippincOtt's.


Lippincott's begins the new year
with promise of excellence maintained
and interest still further advanced.
The January number contains an en-.
crossing complete novel by Carolyn

while there are also some unique short
stories, including Every Dog" by
Theresa Helburn; ION the Level" by
May Royce Ormsbee; 1.-THE Sailor Of
the Sail" by w. o. Stevens; "A Ty-
rant Abdicates," by Rex T. Stout;
1.-THE Whirligig of Time" by Mary
Eleanor Roberts. and 1.-THE First Floor
Front" by Kate Masterson.
Among the special articles is the
second of Samuel Scoville's series.
"Trappers of Men," Edward Sherwood
Mead tells all about the income tax
law which is proving such puzzle to
many people. Factors of Safety" by
John B. Huber, M. D., and False
Alarms" by Clifford Howard, are both
seasonable and interesting. "Effcien-

sketch by Ellis o. Jones. Another

THE RIGHT WAY.

The policy that should have been
adopted year ago, a policy that would
have saved the citizens of Olympia the
bitter campaign over the issuance of
the municipal water bonds last sum-
mer and the taxpayers $3.50 or per-
haps $1,000 for the expenses incident
thereto, was recommended by the
mayor this week when he urged upon
the members of the new city council
the passage of an ordinance authoriz-
ing the condemnation of the present
water works system at its actual cash
value.
THE WASHINGTON STANDARD would
have been glad to endorse such pol
icy then as it is endorsing it now. We
do not now and have not at any time
favored the establishment of a COM
peting plant by the city. though we
have at all times and do now favor the
municipal ownership of such a public
utility, and we beg to recall to your
minds the fact that during last sum-
mer's campaign THE WASHINGTON
STANDARD not only endorsed municipal
ownership but pointed out at the time
the difiulties in finding sale for the
bonds which the mayor this week &C.
knowledged had thwarted his original
plans.
When 1t comes to the purchase Of the
present system we believe the people
Of the city can rest assured that their
every interest in this instance will be
well protected by the mayor. that no
exorbitant price will be paid for the
plant--which is most important-and
that the mayors own experience with
the water company is liable to rebound
to the city's henent, for he will be loath
for the city to pay more than he thinks
the plant Il worth.
But n We may be pardoned, VI
would like to suggest to the city coun
ell the possibility that the purchase o.
the plant might be satisfactorily set
tied BY arbitration. thereby saving the
city the cost Of condemnation. We d.
not know whether this could be done
nor do We know whether satisfactory
price could be reached In such negoti
ations, but 1t strikes 10 that the coun
ell should not order condemnation pro
ceedings Instituted until some effort q
least to this end has been made.

THE PROFITS FROM THREE PIGS.

THE PROFITS FROM THREE PIGS.
Eastern Washington newspapers are
carrying little STORY" these days
with great big moral wrapped up in
it and just because we think it offers
a suggestion that some of you might
profit by, we have clipped it out and
are passing it on to you:
Out of the profits realized from three
pigs purchased year ago for $50
each, J. X. Smawley, farmer living
south Of Spokane, has started on a
trip around the United States. Smaw-
ley has $525 for the trip, and in addi-
ton has the three pigs with which he
started his herd. At the Lewiston live
stock show little more than a year
ago he purchased the original trio Of
Berkshire hogs for $50 each. With a
delegation of their offspring he return
ed to the live stock show this year and
his young pigs won six blue ribbons.
There was lively demand for Smaw-
ley's young porkers, and he sold Is for
$35 each, total of $525. With this
amount, which he characterizes as
velvet" because hog raising with him
Is side issue to wheat farming,
Smawley has started his journey.
You may not want to take trip
around the world or around the United
States or even around this state; you
may want to stay right at home-but
is that all the point there is to that
"story"7
And by the way, are there any little
"porkers'' on your farm?

We are inclined to agree with the
Clarke County Sun when It speaks ed.

Postmaster General Burleson-a Dem

pledged. in fact, to the extension OF
that service. Was that Just a sop to
the people, high sounding" phrase
to gain popular favor on q government
tai point which every one knows the
people most heartily endorse! Or did
the party mean 1t when its represen-
tatives in convention wrote that pro-
vision In its platform?
Some few job-hunting Democrats
may favor that resolution; we can say
frankly that we do not. Rather do we
favor Strengthening Of the civil serv-

Il seems pity that a man with the
artistic tastes and vivid imagination
possessed by T.. w. Ferris should be
saddled with such a prosaic title as
state fire warden" 1t was Mr.. Ferris
who started the movement for the res
eryation grounds on our salt water
shores, and who suggested grand
scenic swing around the circle by
means Of scenic highway starting in
Skagit county, crossing the Cascades,
circling through the Columbia river
valley, re-crossing the Cascades and
southern part of the state. Now this
same gentleman comes forward with
suggestion along similar lines, but
probably more practical. He wants
small tracts of virgin timber, about an
acre in extent, left standing at vari-
Gus points along the main highways
as recreation grounds and as an OBJ
ject lesson showing the real nature of
Washington's forests. From a scenic
and aesthetic standpoint the sugges-
tion has real merit, and it is made at
an opportune time, for, even now, bod
les of unspoiled native timber are none
too frequently met with along the
main highways. In few years tracts
of green forest along the roads would
be source of real interest and pleas
ure to the travelling public.
