will not be repeated or renewed, it
means that it will be decidedly to
the advantage of every contestant to
secure as many of these bonuses as
possible.
For fear anyone may not be en-
tirely familiar with just what this
extra vote offer consists of, it is re-
peated here:
For each and every SIS worth of
subscriptions turned into The STAN
dard Office up to and including
Thursday, April Is, at the close of
business for the day, it has been de-
cided to give $4,000 extra votes be-
sides the regular amount that that
number Of subscriptions ordinarily
carries. For instance, a one-year sub
scription gives at all times 1000
votes, and ten of them would aggre-
gate SIS worth of business and
would naturally carry 10000 votes.
This week, closing Thursday evening,
April 10, the contestants will not
only receive that amount of votes but
the additional amount of $4,000 extra
as q bonus. Any contestant can Sc
cure two or more bonuses by simply
scouting $50 or Upre in business.
Largest Offer OF Contest.
This is positively the largest offer
of the entire contest and will close
Thursday next, when the votes will
become less each week until the close
Of the contest. So this is the time to
work hard.

THREE KILLED IN WOODS.
Tragedy in Mas on County Last Friday
Enacted by Discharged Empioye.

Claims were filed this week with
the industrial insurance commission
for compensation for the widows OF
the three men, employees of the
Peninsular railway in Mason county
who were killed last Friday after
noon when o. c. Steele, discharged
employe, went on a rampage and.
after shooting these three and
wounding another, shot himself,
dying that evening.
The tragedy occurred in the Mason
county woods near Camp No. of the
Simpson Logging company. The
dead are Joe Stertz, foreman of the
camp; c. e. Day, a brakeman, and
Eleck Johnson, conductor, on the
railway. All of Steele's victims were
married, Stertz leaving a widow and
three children; Johnson a widow and
one son, Mrs. Johnson formerly being
Miss Fannie Edgerton of this city,
and Day a widow, having been just
recently married. j. D. Burke, brake
man. who was wounded, is being
treated in the local hospital.

The above count of votes shows
just how easy it is for a contestant
to take the lead in the big race for
the Overland Touring Car so soon to
be given away by The Standard Miss

special effort takes the lead of the
entire lineup, heading the whole list
of IL contestants.
Miss Irene Abbott is another young
lady who has made a tremendous
last count barely showed her as start
ing. In fact, all of the ladies are
either getting exceedingly busy or are
starting today, for this is going to be
a whirlwind campaign, lasting as it
does about one month in all, and
that naturally means that the time is
short and everyone who intends to
make this race is going to get busy
Immediately if she wishes to have a
chance of winning one of the many
valuable prizes to be given away.
Bonus Offer Is Short.
Now that the largest extra vote
offer of any kind or description that
will be given is running, itrbehooves
each and every contestant to do as

NEW SIGNAL STATIONS.
Rochester and Grand Mound to Re-
ceive Daily Weather Reports.

AS the result OF the activity of the
local Chamber of Commerce, the Off
cials in charge of the Seattle weather
bureau have recommended to the fed
eral department of agriculture that
weather signal stations be installed
at Rochester and Grand Mound for
the benefit of the many farmers in
that part of the county, and it is ex-
pected that the order authorizing the
establishment of these stations will
be received in the next few days.
Arrangements have already been
made for the erection of 6O-foot flag
poles in these towns, whereon the
weather flags will be displayed daily.
Each morning at 1920 the local
Chamber will receive the forecast
from the weather bureau at the state
department of agriculture and these
will be telephoned to those in charge
of the stations.

WILLARD new CHAMPION
"White Hope Bests johnson in Fight
at Havana Monday.

Jack johnson, exiled from his own
country, Monday lost his claim to
fstic fame as the heavyweight cham
pion of the world, the title being
wrested from him by Jess Willard,
the Kansas cowboy, the biggest man
who ever entered the prize ring. The
fight was pulled off at Havana, Cuba,
before a crowd of from $1,000 to
10000 persons.
The fight probably hal no parallel
in the history of ring battles. For
20 rounds johnson punched and
pounded Willard at will. but his
blows grew perceptibly less powerful
as the fight progressed, until at last
he seemed unable or unwilling to
go on.
Then he stopped leading, and for
three or four rounds the battle be-
tween the two huge men was little
more than a series of plastic poses
of white or black gladiator.
So it was until the twenty-fifth
round, when Willard got one of his
widely swinging, windmill right-hand
smashes to Johnson's heart. This
was the beginning of the end. When
the round closed, Johnson sent word
to his wife that he was all in and
told her to start for home. She was
on the way out and was passing the
ring in the twenty-sixth round when
a singing left to the body and a
cyclonic right to the jaw caused
Johnson to crumple on the floor of
the ring, where he law partly out
side the ropes until the referee count
ed 10 and held up Wizards hand in
token of his newly-won laurels.
There has been much discussion
this week and probably will be for a
long time, among the followers of the
fighting game as to whether Johnson
was really knocked out. In the sense
of being smashed into unconscious
ness, he certainly was not put out.
The consensus of opinion is that
Johnson expected and knew that
there was no possibility of his win
ming, SO when knocked down, he
chose to take the count rather than
rise and stand further punishment.

new SCHOOL BUILDINGS
South Bay Votes $4,000 - Rainier
Has Election Saturday.

Directors and patrons of the South
Bay school district, at meeting
Tuesday night voted to purchase two
acres of ground adjoining the pres
ent school building on which to erect
a two-room addition to be used by
the new high school department, the
balance of the tract to be used as
school Fairgrounds and athletic field
The district also voted $4,000 bonds
with which to erect the new building
and to sink a well on the school
grounds.
This action by South Bay residents
is indicative of action to be taken
this spring in various districts of the
county. Tenino and Bordeaux pat
rons are discussing the advisability
OF erecting new buildings and a mass
meeting was held in the former city
last Saturday night when the propo-
sition was discussed though no def
mite action taken. Saturday of this
week the patrons of the Rainier dis
trict will hold special election on
the proposal to bond their district
for $4,000 with which to erect new
four-room building to replace the
structure recently destroyed by fire.
Considerable insurance was realized
on the old building and so the neces-
sary bond issue for the new struct-
ure Is small. The voters are also to
decide whether new site shall be
bought or additional land adjoining
the present site secured.
A hearing is to be held at Gate
next Tuesday afternoon, according to
an announcement made by County
Superintendent l.. A. Kibbe, on the
petition to transfer sections 23 and
"a. of township 16 north, range 4
west, from the Nina district to Gate.
The superintendent has granted the
request of G. G. Sandmyer to transfer
the southwest quarter of section 13
and a portion Of the southeast quar-
ter of section IA, southeast Of Clear
Lake, in township 16 north, range
west, from the Hubbard to the Cat
Tail district.

STATE TO AID BOYS

OFFERS $50 TO EACH COUNTY
PLANNING AGRICULTURAL
INDUSTRIAL CONTEST.

Fifty dollars of the agricultural
extension fund granted to State Su-
perintendent Josephine Preston's Of
flee will be apportioned to each
county in the state holding a 1915
boys and girls agricultural and in
dustrial contest under approved
plans, according to an announcement
sent out to county superintendents
this week by Mrs. Preston after hold
ing consultation with her advisory
board.
1--WE have had two big statewide
contests" said Mrs. Preston, land
we are now ready to take an advance
step in carrying the contests closer
to the pupils, teachers and parents.
BY using time and funds formerly
expended on statewide contests to
emphasiA county contests, we hope
to make it possible for every teacher
and every child in the state to See
his work in competition with some Of
the best of its kind. II two counties
care to join in their children's con-
tests, the joint district shall be en-
titled to each county's $50 plus a
bonus Of $25.
1--WE have avoided going into de-
tail as to how the state aid which it
is possible for us to give shall be ex-
pended because we want to cooper
ate with local plans. All we ask is
that prize lists and plans for demon
stration work meet the general stan
dards set in this work during the past
two years, each county emphasizing
the Thugs of local Importance. State
Contest Supervisor c.. C. Thomson
will visit the different counties and
confer with county superintendents
and fair boards relative to the plans
for the statewide chain of county or
joint-county contests.
each county or joint-county con-
test should be led up to by prelimi-
nary contests; county fair boards or
committees should see to 1t that
every child has way to get his ex-
hibits brought in without cost to
him; children with their teachers
should not be charged admission to
the fairs or exhibits where their
work is ON display, and crop reports
should always accompany exhibits.
The season is now well advanced, so
l hope that we may all cooperate ac-
lively in getting these plans before
the pupils, their teachers and par
ents."

SAYS STATES SHOULD
OFFER RURAL CREDITS
FEDERAL RESERVE DIRECTOR
SUGGESTS PLAN FOR MORT
GAGE LOANS ON FARMS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April g.
w. p. G.. Harding Of the federal re-
serve board believes rural credits sys-
TENS should be inaugurated by indi-
vidual states. each chartering and su-
pervising its own land mortgage bank,
requiring it's official tax collector to
make collections, and inducing local
banks to act as agents in respective
communities. The only fees paid
would be those to appraisers and at
torneys for examining titles.
"An adequate system of rural cred
it's" says Mr.. Harding, ''is insepa-
rably bound up in any solution Of the
problems of farm tenancy, crop diver
sification, inadequate school and
church facilities.
81. would have the state charter the
land mortgage bank, whose stock
should be non-taxable. That would
constitute its first advantage. After
paying 6 per cent dividend and
carrying a certain portion to surplus,
balance of earnings should revert to
the state. 1t should confine it's busi-
ness to farm loans exclusively.
Stock ,Prorated to Counties. 3
"The citizens of each county should
be permitted to subscribe for an
amount of stock to be prorated to
that county in proportion to popula-
ton. If any county did not absorb
all its share, the surplus might then
go to another county.
Loans would be prorated among
various counties in proportion to the
value of the farm lands Of that coun-
ty compared to the sum total for the
entire state. A limit should be placed
on loans made to any one person, and
loans should run from 20 to 80 years
as maximum to permit Of amortiza-
ton at low rate, or retirement at
the end Of that time OF original loan
by payment of an annual sum only
slightly above commercial interest
rates on short time loans.
"A loan should be limited to SO
per cent of the value of improved
farm land and In no case should be
more than it's assessed value for tax
alton. 40
"All mortgages taken on farm land
under the operation of this plan
would be placed in trust with trust
company and the state land bank
would issue it's own bonds secured by
these mortgages thus placed in trust.
"The state, which has an interest
in the profits of the land mortgage
bank should control, say one-third
the directors, the remaining two
thirds to be controlled by the stock
holders.
"I would have the state tax collect
or collect the interest and such part
NJ the principal as was to be. repaid
every year for the land mortgage
hank at the same time he collects
state and county taxes.

KUGEL FINDS MOST
BONDS WORTHLESS
Has City Abstracter Look Up Stand
ing--But Six Of Thirty-Two
Are Good.
BRITT PROMISES A CHANGE

Commissioner Kugel has made an
investigation which, he claims. shows
a lax system in police court regarding
the approval OF appeal bonds.
The commissioner prepared list OF
thirty-two recent appeal bonds and re-
quested City Abstracter Hartley TO in
vestigste the sufficiency Of each bond.
Mr. Hartley reports that in only six
cases were the bondsmen legally liable
for the amounts Of the bonds. The law
requires that in the case of a bond for
500, for instance, the bcndsmen shall be
responsible for the amount, over and
above his legal exemptions.
In twenty-six out OF the thirty-two
cases in question the city abstrocter re-
ported the bonds were not worth the
paper on which they we're written.
Many bonds worthless.
What I am getting after Is the easy
manner In which some offenders escape
through the operation OF this farcical
system OF police court appeal bonds, A
man told me his name appeared on at
least fifteen Of these bonds and he ad-
mitted he could not be held liable in any
one Of the bonds was told Of a re-
cent case OF a confidence man being ar
rested in Kansas City. He had been ar
rested here and sentenced, but got off
on worthless appeal bond. When the
case was called in district court there
was no principal In the case and the bond
accepted by the police judge was founG
to be worthless declared Mr.. Kugel.
Mr.. Kugel adds he has convinced
Justice Britt, who acts as police Judge
now and then during the absence Of
Judge Foster. that the city abstracter
should pass upon the liability Of all per-
sons signing police court appeal bonds
MIR. Kugel says he understands there
are professional bond furnishers who ply
their business in the police court.
