Forty-one cows produced between
40 and SO pounds of butter fat.
One COW made an average of over
SO pounds a month for four months.
A heifer freshening at the age of
8 months has averaged a little over
% pounds of butter fat monthly for
the last three months.
In speaking of the records A. j.
A@S'SDAO Ohs iiCiu agent III udlCyluS
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture and w.
S. c.. said
The cows that are making these
records are mostly high grades of
the dairy breeds, with a few pure
breds among them, but these rec
ords are the result of good care and
feeding Oh the part of the owners,
coupled with good dairy breeding
on the part of the COWS. At the
prices paid for butter fat during
May, the lowest COW on the above
list would bring the owner at least
$12 for the month, which shows
that it is profitable to breed and
develop such cows. The cost of feed
or pasture of these COWS, as shown
on the records, varied from S1.5O
to $500 a COW during May.
When We consider that the av-
erage COW of Washington hardly
produces $50 pounds of butter fat
a year, barely paying for the cost
of her feed, records as those shown
above made in Whitman county
prove that it pays to test your cows
weed out Improbable ones and use
pure bred sires from high producing
lines of breeding at the head of the
herds"

Moose Viii Gather Here Thursday

The selection of Pullman on the
itinerary of the director general is
a source of considerable pride to
local members of the fast-growing
order, inasmuch as the lecturer de-
votes his time ordinarily to the larg-
er cities and the larger lodges. Prog
ress lodge is fast coming to the
front in local fraternal cvircles, and
the honor paid by the visitor is we'll
deserved.
Mr.. Davis will devote a part of his
lecture to a description of the re-
Gently organized vocational and in
dustrial school at Mooseheart, Ill.,,
where also has been established a
home for aged members, as well as
their widows and orphans. The
supreme lodge recently purchased a
tract of 1000 acres at Mooseheart for
the establishment of the school and
home.
All citizens are urged to attend
the evening session and hear Mr..
Davis, who is credited with being
one of the greatest fraternalists in
the world.

ALBION WILL CELEBRATE

Pullman people were made ac-
quainted with the fact that the good
people of Albion will hold a mon
ster celebration there July 4, 5 and
6, when caravan of Albion auto
mobiles, carrying a large humber
of boosters, and bedecked with ban
ners announcing the coming celebra-
ton, paraded the business streets.
The caravan stopped in front of the
Chamber of Commerce building and
the Albion band discoursed several
selections. The celebrations at AL
bion are always a big drawing card,
and this years effort promises to
produce results that will surpass
those of any previous celebration
there. Inasmuch as Pullman does
not celebrate this year, large num-
Der of local people will go TO Albion.

BIG GAS PLANT
SEEMS ASSURED
Proposed Franchise Is Given First
Reading-COuncil ShOrtens
Time for Completion
of Plant

Within one and one-half years
after the granting of a franchise to
l.. H. Burnett and associates of Sc
attic for the installation and oper-
alton of a gas plant, the people of
Pullman must be served with gas for
cooking and lighting purposes, in
compliance with an amendment to
the ordinance franchise which will
be added by the city council. The
proposed franchise was given it's
first official reading before the city
fathers at the council meeting Tues
day evening, and the terms of the
proposed franchise were discussed
at considerable length. Mr.. Morris,
a representative of the petitioners,
appeared before the council in be-
half of the franchise and stated that
while in all probability the plant
would be completed and operating
within six months from the date of
the franchise, conditions might arise
which would make an extension of
time necessary and he urged that
they be given the full two years to
complete the plant as stipulated in
the original ordinance. The council
finally agreed to grant 8 months
for the completion of the work and
this amendment will be accepted by
the petitioners.
The question of the duration of
the franchise also came in for con-
siderable discussion, it being sug-
gested that the franchise be made
to cover a period of only % years.
To this plan Mr.. Morris objected
strenuously, stating that 25 years
was not enough time for the COM
pany to finance the plant, which he
claimed would cost in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. He stated further
that 50-year franchises had been
granted at Auburn, Bellingham, and
other places where plants have al
ready been lnStalleu
A motion by Councilman Nye to
the effect that the franchise ordi-
nance be amended to read % years
instead of so was lost for want of
a second and it is probable that that
clause will stand as it is.
The question of franchise tax
based on income, was discussed at
some length, but no definite concur
sion was reached. 1t is probable
however. that before the ordinance
reaches its final reading an amend
ment fixing a tax to be paid to the
city will be affixed.
The company offers to tufnlsh
gas for lighting purposes for the
city hall without charge.

EDUCATOR LEAVES
IMPRESSIVE MESSAGE
DIR. Ira Landrith, Commencement
Orator, Speaks Words of Praise
for State College, Its Presi-
dent and Faculty

A valuable addition was made to
the Photographic archives of the
State College last Friday, when DR..
Ira Landrith, president of Ward
Belmont College, Nashville. Tenn.
spoke words of praise and COM
mendation for the State College, its
president and its faculty, into the
photograph which has recorded the
messages of many great men in the
past few years. The message of the
Tennessee educator, who delivered
the commencement address to the
graduating class last Thursday, was
as follows:
My visit to the State College of
Washington has been at once rev.
citation and a delight. The quick,
but substantial, growth of this in
stitution of learning has left it too
little time to be adequately appreci-
ated across the continents divide,
over which the fame of the vests
virtues moves more slowly than do
sometimes the selfcomplacency and
institutional pharisaism of the east.
This fact may explain the phenom-
lemon that all fasteners interested in
education for efficiency, looking up
on the work done and being done
here must exclaim: THE half has
not been told!"
Worthy schools, like worthwhile
people, have powerful personality,
unique individuality, and, as with
persons, so with schools, imitation
is paralysis. Schools also are, like
people, the product both of their in
heritance and their environment.
Judged by both of these rules, tho
State College of Washington belongs
to the educational aristocracy, the
Iaristocracy of integrity. independ-
ence, and initiative.
Planted providentially in the
very heart of a great call to service
and fostered by the unselfish Wis
dom of both it's administration and
it's faculty. the College impresses me
with its wholesome freedom from
that ancient and deadening seryitu 'e
SO common to schools, the slavery to
Iconventionality in method, curricula,
organization and even personnel.
Serving a new state, in many ways
unlike all other com monwealths,
and Immediately surrounded by the
unsolyed problems of growing soci-
ETY., not only, but of soil and eli
mate, of forest and potential stream,
of the treasure trove of mountain
and plain, there was every reason
why this school should blaze new
pathway in education: and It seems

GIRLS LEAD BOYS
IN PUNCTUAL|TY
Report of Superintendent of City
Schools Ellis Gives Interesting
Figures

The girls are more punctual in
school attendance than boys, and, as
a general rule, better scholars, is in
dictated by the report of Superintend-
ent Fl. A. Ellis, presented to the
school board at its last meeting, COW
ering the school year from Septem-
Der Z, 1914, to May 81. 1915. The
total enrolment in all the schools
during that time was 1870, of which
.364 we're males and 366 females.
The total days attendance was l01,-
.051k. The percentage of attend
ance of males was 96.42, while or
females it was $3.50. During the
school year SO students were neither
absent nor tardy, 25 of this number
being boys and % girls. Fifteen
cases OF corporal punishment were
recorded, the victim in each case be-
ing a boy. Six students we're sus-
pended during the year, only one OF
them a girl, and one boy was ex-
PEELED.
The report records 2S1 visits to
the schools by parents or guardians
and 116 by other persons. Eighty
four boys and girls of school age did
not attend during the past year, 40

TOWN MEETING
Voters Must Decide Upon Tax Rate
Friday Evening-PrObably VIII
Be Higher Than Last Year.

The adjourned town and village
meetings to fix the tax rate for the
coming year will be held at the Town
Hall at 1880 Friday evening of this
week. The adjournment was taken
so the voters would know how large
grand list they would have to work
upon. The list is completed now
and is $1,575.45 less than it was last
year. The expenses of the town have
not decreased, in fact, the expenses
of schools and roads are likely to
be larger than last year. So the vo-
ters face either a debt at the end of
the year or a larger tax. The town
officials believe that an increased tax,
so the voters will know just what
various things mean, will be the most
effective measure for economy and
will probably ask for it.
The abstract of this years grand
list shows the following:
Appraised value of real es-
tate $4,93O,223
Appraised value of per-
sonal property 1,92O,22O
Polls, 2,357 at 50 each 1,4OO
Total amount 1891, ,S45
Grand list 73,218.45
Grand list of village 61,986.Of
Exemption of loans at five
per cent 41,5s1.OO
The figures for 1914 were.
Real estate $4,869, IT'S. 90
Personal property 2,132, 2,615.OO
Polls AT, 10000
Total STATS, $4,000
Grand list 74,793.90
Village grand list 63,770.77
Exemption of loans at five
per cent 100000
This shows an increase of $71,-
048 in value of real estate, a decrease
of $212,395 in personal property and
a decrease in polls of $5,200, loss
of 26 male tax payers.
The increase in the amount Of
money exempted because loaned at
five per cent was $50, 1891.
