The University of Washington will
open Monday, September IA, for its
fifty-fourth academic year. The re-
corder of the university, E. N. Stone,
says that general indications favor
the normal increase in enrolment of
between 100 and 200 students. II
that increase is registered, the resi-
dent population of the university in
the year will be more than 5000.
For the last 10 years, the average

In counties where the collections
run under 100000 the expense runs
from 118.43 in Asotin. up to 1882
in Ferry.
1t will be seen that the range of ex-
pense of doing business varies greatly
in Offices near to the same size. The
Walla Walla office, doing about ST.
150.50 more in 1913 than Thurston,
cost slightly more: but in all the
other cases in counties as large as
ThurstOn, the cost was much less
Grant, doing $1,000 more than
Thurston, did business at 94.74 pei

1913, $459,940.52.
Thus 1911 and 1912 were the low
years in cost, though in 1911 less was
collected than in 1913, when the cost
of collection was about ten cents per

1909 and 1910, though receipts were

there is much to do, but men are
needed in three places.
The Superior Court.
AS indicated in this report, the
judges and bailiffs are costing more
than formerly. We have had two
judges in place of one in this district
since the spring of 1913. In taking
a new Judge, we also got bailiff,
who is paid in full by this county.
The salaries Of the judges are shared
by the state, Thurston and Mason
counties. The question to be asked
as to the judges is whether we need
more than one. give here COM

THE CONSUMERS DOLLAR.
om the Farm and Homestead.

From the Farm and Homestead
Much is said about the high cost
of getting food products from pro-
Queer to consumer. Here is an in
stance from work-a-day experience,
typical as well as striking. 1t is re-
lated by Golfers:
Several years ago James Morrow
bought a barrel of greening apples
in Ulster county, New York, for a
dollar and a half. He had them
shipped to suburb of New York city,
about a hundred miles away. The
express bill was a dollar and sixty
seven cents. These apples cost the
consumer three dollars and seven
teen cents, but the farmer got less
than so cents for them.
During all this time there were
more apples in Ulster county than
could be used there, and there were
more people in New York who want
ed apples than could afford to pay
for them. The Rural New Yorker
talks a great deal about the thirty
five cent dollar, meaning that the
thirty-five cents is the portion of the
consumers dollar which the farmer
actually gets. Isn't this something
we can improve On?'
The conditions here described are
true in one way or another of most
food articles and most cities. The
country within radius of hundred
or even fifty miles of Atlanta can
easily produce all the table supplies
needed in this and neighbOr towns,
can produce them Cheaply and sell
them cheaply at a good profit. Yet,
owing to the lack of direct methods
of exchange, the cost of living is as
high here as elsewhere.
What a difference there would be
in the purchasing power of the con-
sumer's dollar if he were in touch
with the farms where eggs, poultry,
butter and vegetables are produced.
And what a difference in the farm
ers' returns,

Some Extremes In Nutrition.

Amid all the discussion at present
regarding the food requirements OF a
| healthy man it is interesting to COM
mare the extremes which come to
light in different parts of the world.
Nothing can more effectively warn
against dogmatic statements about
orr dietary needs than the recital
of two entirely unlike experiences
which have lately been published.
The Danish psychologists, August and
Marie Krogh, organized an expedi-
ton not long ago to investigate the
dietary habits of the Eskimos at the
island of Disco in Western Green
land The normal ration of these
people contains enormous quantities
of meat. The eating habits OF the
Eskimo approach those of carniyor-
GUS animals. The periods are lrreg-
ular and somewhat infrequent, the
meal occasionally being extended to
the utmost capacity of the stomach.
Despite this we are told that no nu-
tritive disorders are apparent aside
from boils and frequent nose-bleed-
ing in the periods of over-liberal eat
ing. The physical endurance of Els
kimos nourished in this way is con-
spicuous, as is their resistance to the
rigors of the climate. The highest
food consumption actually measured
by the Krohs was nearly four pounds
of boiled meat in one day. This is
said to be far below a record t1gure,
however.
The other extreme is reported by
in Copenhagen. His sub
iect was able to maintain himself in
excellent efficiency for months on
diet of potatoes and margarin. II
amount of potato was extremely
large, amounting to four pounds
day, which few persons could man
age to consume day after day. When
hard work had to be performed 1t
was necessary to increase the potato
to eight pounds per day, with liberal
additions of fat.
In the face of these extremes, says
the Journal of the American Medical
Association, one may we'll inquire
whether many of the rigid rules and
dietary dicta of physicians who ad-
here to systems of Diet have a JUS
tification in fact. Obviously the
of the human body to
wide ranges of food possibilities is
1t is, of course, des1r-
able to learn the limits which one
cannot overstep with safety. When
once these are established, however,
there is usually left free play for the
of common sense, iudg-
ment and individual preference in
times of health and disease.

ROAD SUPERVISION IN GEORGIA,

From the Atlanta Journal.
Particularly interesting is the sug-
gestion that one of the main achieve
ments of the American Road Con-
gress (Which will hold its 1914 con-
vention in Atlanta next November
will be the establishment of state
highway commissions in those South
ern states where no such system has
yet been adopted. Georgia, South
Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Missis-
sippi and Texas have not yet availed
themselves of the advantages offered
by the highway plan. In Georgia,
however, thanks to the initiative of
the state prison commission, a high
way supervisor has recently been ap-
pointed, and so valuable has mis- SER
vice been to various counties that
we may hope for an early extension
of the work he is doing and, eVentu-
ally, for the establishment Of we'll
equipped state highway commission.
This is matter of deep import
ance to the cause of scientific, eco
nomical road building

JUST BE YOURSELF.

From the Nashville Herald.
Heaven help the man who imag-
ines he can dodge enemies by try
ing to please everybody! If such an
individual ever succeeds pass him
over this way that we may look
at his mortal remains ere he vanishes
away, for surely this earth cannot be
his abiding place. Now we do not
infer that one should be going
through this world trying to find
beams to knock and thump his head
against, disputing every mans Opin-
ion, fighting and elbowing and
crowding all who differ from him.
That, again, is another extreme. 9th
er people have their opinions, Sc
have you. Don't fall into the error
of supposing they will respect you
more for turning your coat every
day to match the color of theirs
Wear your own clothes in spite OF
wind and weather, storms and sun
shine. 1t costs the irresolute ten
times the trouble to wind and shut
file and twist than it does honest,
manly independence to stand.
