The Northern Pacific Railway,
through Mr.. Arney, Western Immigra-
tion Agent, is boosting the Winter
School for Farmers at Pullman by
sending out the prospectus to farmers
throughout the state. This school
began January 9Th and continues I'M
til February 18th. Word comes that
it is attended by more people than
any previous school. Farmers are
learning the value of this school and
taking advantage of it more generally
every year. There is scarcely a sub
ject in which the farmer is interested
that is not taken up and studied
practically at this school. The do
nestle science course is equally i'm
portant and large classes of women
are in attendance. The expense of
this is made just as light as possible.
There is no charge for the instruc-
tion and board and room can be OBJ
tanned very reasonable.

The friends of prohibition should
not content themselves by simply
making a fight to make Washington
dry. They should take active means
to establish, under police regulations,
a home in cities of any size in the
state to take the place Of the saloon.
The saloon. bad as is its influence,
has some features which makes it a
service to community. 1t serves as
a meeting place where strangers are
welcome aud provides comforts lack

town anywhere and there is not a
place stranger can 60 with any de-
gree of welcome. He cannot meet

a saloon. He is not welcome in a

comfortable meeting place should
be provided for people and a charge
made that will pay expenses and no
more.

THE RANCH AND FAKE ADVERTISING

When the present editor bought
The Ranch he decided to bar fake
medicine advertisements, liquor ads,
and all advertisements which we're
Objectionable. He has followed that
rule at considerable cost. He has
lost many dollars worth Of business
by adhering to that rule. We go
over our ad contracts carefully, and
if one does not look right we refuse
to sign it. The question to be decided
is "What are fake ads?" Who agrees
as to what are Objectionable ads?
What is Objectionable to one person
is not SO to another. All medical ads
are not fake ads.
These remarks are brought about
by an objection by one of our sub
scribers to an ad appearing in our
columns. In truth we refused that
ad until Ger tain objecti enable features
were cut out, but accepted it after
their removal. We shall probably re-
fuse it altogether after the present
contract expires as it does have a bad
appearance, but the reading and offer
Is not Objectionable.
In regard to liquor advertisements,
we have steadily refused them though
good rates are offered, and there are
few papers which do refuse them.
Some injustice is sometimes shown
from the fact that families will sub
scribe for daily paper which carries
page after page Of liquor and fake
medical ads and raise no objection,
but will criticise agricultural papers
at once. 1t takes money from adver-
Using to run an agricultural paper as
we'll as daily paper.
Still we are in hearty accord with
that body of citizens who oppose all
fake and Objectionable advertising.
We may not always agree as to just
what ads come under the rule, but
our subscribers may be sure they
will not see much of such advertising
carried in the columns of The Ranch.

Manager Plummer of the Portland
Uuion Stock Yards of Portland, Ore
gon, has issued small pamphlet
showing the receipts of the yards
there during the past year. This
shows steady increase year by year.
Last year there was received 6, 800
cars OF stock, an increase of 834 cars
over 1912. The great increase was in
hogs. These rose in numbers from
120, 932 in 1912 to 1873, 286 in 1913.
Sheep shipments also increased about
40, 900. Horses and mules showed a
falling off of 883. Washington makes
a poor showing in number of cattle
shipped to that market. While Ore

The initiative petition for con-

constitution to make Washington a
prohibition state has been filed at
Olympia. This will ask that the mat

the November election next fall. If
it carries the state will go dry Jan

liquor interests more than a year to

to close up and relieve Washington
of the liquor burden.

attention to dairying than livestock.

Through the kindness of Mr.. Frank
Hill, of Orillia, we have before us a
copy of the Birmingham, England,
Daily Mail, which gives an account
of the giant fat steer Pat, which has
been shown at county fairs about
England. This steer would show
American farmers that they don't
raise all the big animals. Pat weighs
214 stone or 1898 pounds. The paper
also tells of some potatoes which
weighed seven pounds. There are
some good farmers over there all

CHANGES In HIGH FINANCE.

Money circles of the United States
we're astounded last week when j. p.
Morgan and company announced that
they would withdraw their interests
from more than score of corpora
tions.
Mr.. Morgan states that this action
is taken in view of the fact that the
American people have become satisfied
that what is known as interlocking
directorates are inimical to the best
interests of the people. Other great
financial Interests are following Mr..
Morgan's example and it looks as
though a new day was dawning for
American business interests. One
of the striking features of the Pujo
committee report was the showing of
the interlocking directorates of the
big financial houses, such as Morgan,
Kuhn-Loeb and other New York
financial corporations.
One of the suggestions OF this COM
mittee was that law should be pass
ed compelling dissolution of these
directories. The people Immediate
ly approved of this, and President
Wilson's statesmanlike reply to the
Bell Telephones request for dis
solution of their trust has brought
about wonderful change in senti
ment.
The editor OF The Ranch believes
that this action on the part of the
Bell Telephone Co. and Mr.. Morgan
are the acts of men who really de-
sire the best interests of the country
in which they live. We are aware
that this will be questioned by many
people who will contend that this ac-
ton is brought about through fear OF
government prosecution. But in
view of the fact that government
prosecution has been OF little or no
avail proves to us that these big men
are honestly striving to obey the laws
of the country.
Another man who deserves unusual
credit is Mr.. Geo. W. Perkins, of the
International Harvester trust. Mr..
Perkins has issued statements which
show that this trust is attempting to
obey the law. His statement should
be road by every man who really de-
sires to learn the facts. 1t is time
that the government was discerning
between trusts which really are OF
ganized to benefit the public; to re-
duce costs; to increase consumption,
and that other class of trusts which
are organized to crush competition;
to raise prices and to benefit only the
organizers. There is a vast differ
ence between these classes of trusts.
One is doing a service to the Ameri-
can nation and deserves success
The other class is detriment to the
nation and should be put out of bust
