Maryland Citizens Discuss Pro-
posed Ordinance Before
Council Meeting.

Warm discussion Of the proposed plan
to assess two-thirds of the cost of all
street improvements in the town Of Ia
koma Park. Md, against the abutting
property-owners was heard before the
mayor an6 council last night in the
basement of the PRESBYTERIAN church.

two hours aired their views. The ordi-
nance was made the unfinished business
for the next meeting
Former Mayor Wilmer G. Platt warm
y advocated the proposed plan, stating
that il would result in very much need
ed street improvements which could be
secured in no other way.

support of the ordinance. Councilman H.

by citizens owning property affected by
the proposed plan, and who were in
favor of the assessment The petition
erS represented about One-tenth of the
total frontage which would be affect

CAN AID THE SOUTH
Can Put Millions in Banks to
Lend on Cotton, If He Will,
Asserts Letter.

Congressman Henry chairman of
the House Rules Committee, has ad-
dressed caustic letter to Secretary
McAdoo. insisting that he could aid
the cotton farmers Of the South if he
would use the authority he now has
or ask Congress for additional au-
thority to assist in crop moving. Mr.
Henry says he sees no reason the
Secretary Of the Treasury cannot put
millions in Southern banks to be loaned
on cotton and tobacco.
He ridicules Mr.. McAdoo's recent
statement, in reply to his former Iettef
that the sale Of Panama canal bonds to
raise crop funds is impracticable. Mr..
Henry recalls that the Administration
is preparing to put through a Govern
ment ship-purchase bill. the project to
be financed in part by the sale Of such
bonds.
Mr.. Henry says the Secretary of the
Treasury should issue a ringing proc
lamation'' notifying the country that he
proposed to use the public moneys on

millions of dollars necessary for The
purpose Of saving our cotton crop from

In the correct standing position the
chest is held high and thrown out
strongly. the abdomen drawn In, the
chin in toward the chest. With the
body held erect and leaning slightly
forward, says writer in the WO-

Of the body is equally distributed upon
both feet. either with one foot in ad.
vance Of the other. as In the military

figure. In the military carriage the
body is bent farther forward than in
the ordinary walking posture. The Ca
Diet gets his erect posture not so much
by the physical exercise he takes as
by constantly being reminded by his
officers that he must hold his body
erect.
There are three ways to tell whether
you are carrying yourself properly.
Stand with the back to wall which
has II smooth surface with the head.
shoulders. hips and heels touching the
wall Try to maintain this position at
all times. Another way Is to lie on
the back. note the posture Of the head.
shoulders, chest and hips, arise and as
sumo the same posture. Still another
is to practice balancing moderately
heavy book on the head. Place soft
cushion on the head and the book on
top. us this gives the book more sur
face upon which to rest and Is more
easily balanced.
Keeping the chest high and the body
erect IS an excellent exercise and
should be cultivated.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY PLATFORM
1.-THE democrats of Chehalis county

THE democrats Of Chehalis county,
in convention assembled, renew our
faith in the principles Of democracy

about more beneficial constructive leg.
islation in the past 16 months than
was accomplished by republican ad.
ministrations in 16 years.
1--WE point with pride to the rec.
ord of Governor Ernest Lister in
striving to reduce the burden of tax
alton in the state of Washington,
whose judicious use of the veto pow.
er has prevented the addition of un.
necessary burdens of taxes upon the
people of the state.
I'VE favor the calling of a con.
stitutional convention for the purpose
of incorporating recognized progress
i've principles into the fundamental
law Of the state.
I'VE favor the non.partisan cleo.
ton of county and city officials.
I'VE favor a secret primary ballot,
similar to the ballot used at the gen.
eral elections.
I'VE pledge our legislative candi.
dates to support Governor Lister in
his efforts to keep appropriations
within reasonable limits and to re-
lieve the state from the Injurious
stigma Of being Tax Ridden
I'VE pledge our candidates for
county offices to the strictest econ.

vice and to continue the efforts to
secure and maintain an equitable
rate Of taxation upon all classes of
property as required by law"

Bad For the Old and Helpless Natives

Concerning a peculiar custom discov.

given by A. r. R. Wollaston In the
Geographical Journal: ION top Of the
drst steep ridge we came to the 6rst
native dwelling that We had seen in
the country. 1t was a rectangular
wooden structure. raised on piles about
Eve feet from the ground. A sloping
ladder or two or three poles tied to-
gether leads to narrow platform.
behind which Is the living room about
ten or twelve feet square. In the mid
die of the floor Is square fireplace.

stones. The walls are made Of split
poles placed closely together. and the
roof is made Of the leaves Of pandanus

terry about that first house which we
were never able to solve. 1t was evil

"Outside the house were a number
occupied in cooking large quantities Of
yams and sweet potatoes and great
Jumps Of pigs flesh We naturally
supposed that 1t was a sort Of house

out to he. The men shook their heads
and pointed in n mysterious way to.
ward the house and made the curions
sign which they are accustomed to
make when they talk Of something dis
agreeable. Then they invited IA to
enter the house. where we found an
old man sitting by the fire He was
diseased and decrepit. but appeared by
no means likely to die. He took a
keen interest in our appearance and
enjoyed the tobacco which we gave
him.
when we returned FIVE days later
we found the place utterly deserted
and the house blackcned heap of
ashes. on the top floor of which were
lying the charred remains of human
homes. II was impossible for any one
to say FIVE days earlier that the old
man was going to blended. he must
have lived for months or even years
What we may imagine to have hap
pened was this: That as he was nm.
able to get about any longer and find
his own food his relations did not in.

preparations we saw were really for
his funeral feast. but we were puzzled
by their having cremated him in

We favor the sale to actual settlers
Of all lands not chiefly valued for
timber, mineral. gas or oil, derived
from the government Of the United
States and now held for the construc-
ton, maintenance and operation of
state. educational or penal institu-
lions, and for state and educational
purposes generally, upon such terms
and in such manner as shall yield the
full value there is to. our state.
Governor Lister Made Good
Governor Ernest Lister promised
the Sceople Of the state Of Washing
ton economy and efficiency in the
administration of the state. This
promise in spirit and letter he has
sacredly kept. A republican legisla-
ture enacted laws by which the sum
of approximately $24.00O.00O was to
be appropriated out of the state treas
ury. OF this sum Governor Lister
vetoed bills which resulted in a re-
duction of approximately 100000.
Governor Lister has initiated a sys-
tenn of financial reports from the pub
lie institutions and departments Of
the state by which he has at hand
for Immediately reference the exact
amount expended monthly by each
institution and department and the
exact cost of maintenance for each
inmate in each public institution per
day. He is in constant and close
touch with the public business OF the
state.
As q further achievement Of Gov
ernor Lister. We point to the fact
that for the FIRST time since the ad-
ministration Of Governor Rogers. the
executive and administrative depart,
ments under the governors supervi.
sion and control, are within their re-
spective appropriations. a fact that
demonstrates not only the strict econ
omy but the high efficiency as we'll
D
by our democratic governor.
We recognize President Woodrow
Wilson as the leader of the demo
cratic party in the nation, and Gov.
ernor Ernest Lister in the state, and
we pledge our legislative candidates
to support any policy of reform rec
commended that will lessen the bur-
dens of taxation upon the people of
this state.
Eager for the battle in the age-old
war against the forces led by priv
lege and greed, and confident of the
appreciation and support Of right
thinking Americans, who place honor
above the dollar and humanity above
mere material interest, the democrats
of the state of Washington and of
the union gladly await the issue.
