troller of the currency, aggregated
$47S,320.28, the consolidated institu-
ton will be in position to meet all
legitimate demands for credit by it's
patrons and to give them better serv-
ice at less expense than could be af-
forded by two banks operating separ-
ately.
The First National is one of the
pioneer banks of this section. The
Farmers State opened for business
May 10, 1910, and has enjoyed a
slow but steady growth. w. e. Han
son, its first cashier, resigned to ac-
cept the office of State Bank Exam
iner. His position was taken temper
arily by r. A. Langley, who remained
in charge until last October, when T.
G. Forrest came out from South Da-
koota, bought block of stock in the
bank and was made cashier. He has
filled the position with marked abil-
ity and has won the confidence and
good will of the entire community,
both as a safe banker and a progress
sive citizen.
w. O. Straight, who has been
cashier of the First National, has
made many friends in Pullman, who
will regret his decision to seek an
other location.
Until the details of the consoli-
dation can be worked out, checks ON
the Farmers State will be cashed by
the First National and the employees
of both institutions will be retained.

the Chindlund Photograph Studio on
Alder street from E. A. Chindlund,
who bought the establishment
several months ago from Robert
Burns, and took possession Thursday

GRAIN PRICES STATIONARY

The local grain market was not
affected in the least by the Chicago
advices on Wednesday of phenome-
nal advances in wheat quotations,
when May wheat rose to within four
cents of the highest mark of the
year. The inactivity of the local
market is explained by the unsettled
coast shipping conditions. Red Rus
sian remains steady at 81 per bushel
with club and fortyfold five cents
higher. Oats are quoted at $1.35
per hundredweight and barley at 81

Freshmen Strong in IntcrCIass

Schlechtler, a new man who gives
much promise, took the 440 handily
in SO seconds flat, and was second
to the speedy Miller in the 220.
Thompson, the Johnson recruit, took
the pole vault, but was forced to go
only 9 feet inches to win his event
Schultz, a wv" man, won the mile
in 4:4O; Unbewust took the high
jump at feet 8 inches, and McCros-
key went only 8 feet 10 inches to
win the broad jump. Casad, another
veteran, took the half mile event in
two minutes / 6 80 seconds, and
DietZ took the javelin event at 140
feet.
The relay race was conceded to
the first year men, but in a special
feature relay race in which only men
who had not taken part in the other
events were eligible, the Juniors
were victorious. The feature of the
relay was the sensational work of
Doc" Heg and Hildenbrand for the
winners, and Coach Boiler expects
to have these two finds" out in
suits this afternoon.
Both the interclass and Junior
meets, which were run simultaneous
ly, were won by the Freshmen, who
scored more points than all the
classes combined in both meets,

to the home of R. G. Woodruff on

opposite the section houses, Wednes-

gade. The roof of the house was
considerably damaged, but all the

loss is covered by insurance.

INSPIRING MESSAGE BY
WONDERFUL WOMAN
Miss Helen Keller and Her Teacher
Make Profound Impression on
Large Audience

One of the most inspiring, i'm
pressiye. and worth while lectures
ever delivered in Pullman was given
Monday evening in the college audi
forum by Miss Helen Keller and her
teacher, Mrs. Macy. They brought a
m essage of hope. optimism and hap
piness which went straight home to
the hearts of the large audience.
Both speakers are living examples
of how patience, courage and hard
work can win happiness despite of
what seem to be insurmountable oh
stacles and they furnish a wonder
full tonic for the afflicted and de-
spondent.
Mrs. Bacy was the first speaker
and told in simple but convincing
language the wonderful story of how
Miss Keller had overcome the loss
of sight and hearing, resulting from
sickness when she was but 19
months old. 1t has taken 20 years
of patient persistent work for her to
learn to talk.
Miss Keller was then introduced
and delivered her message on Hap
piness," taking the position that hap
pness does not result from the pos
session of what we want but from
service to humanity and the making
Of other people happy. The most in
teresting part of the lecture was the
answering by Miss Keller of ques-
lions propounded by the audience
and repeated to her by Mrs. Macy.
Miss Keller placed her fingers on the
lips and throat of her teacher and
thus read the questions. Her an
swers were quick and apt and
showed that she is we'll informed and
very witty.
"Why are you socialist" she
was asked. Because l think that
movement will be the best remedy
for many of the ills of man"
Are you a suffragette?' someone
asked. ooh yes, indeed she
answered.
Mrs. Macy asked, Don't you think
the men are competent to take care
of our affairs?" and she replied
with a smile, 80 far they haven't
made a bowling success of 1t.
When asked how she distinguished
night from day she said: In day
time, even when it is cloudy, the air
is warmer and lighter and there are
more smells than at night"
Her conception of color as she ex-
planned it comes from reading the
poets and from friends description
Humorously she remarked, when
am engry feel my face get red
do you feel that the wind mas
risen?" was asked her. "Yes, she
said, land I felt a door blow open
This knowledge came 20 her through
the medium of sound vibration the
same as does her appreciation OF
music. of which she is fond.
do you like to TALK" was asked.
"of course; every woman does was
the quick response.
That Miss Keller has broad synipa-
thies and delights in making other
people happy was proved by the
fact that she donated $50 OF her lec-
ture fee for the aid of needy girls
who are attending the college.

battle as one could hope to see up to

SPOKANE INDIANS

Norm Moss VIII Pitch His First
Game of Season Against Spokane
Leaguers-Split Even With
o. A. q.

Norm" Moss, last year one of the
premier pitchers of the Northwest
Conference, will be sent to the
slab by Coach Johnny Bender this
afternoon against the Spokane In
dams, who have gathered together a
bunch of players who bid fair to be-
come factor in the Northwest
league pennant race. Moss has been
out of the game so far this season
nursing a sprained wrist, received in
basket ball game, but for several
days past has been burning them
over the plate in old time style, and
Bender figures him the strongest
man in the squad to serve up the
curves, drops and fast ones to the
leaguers. The game will be called at
four O'Clock, and 1t is expected that
delegations from Colfax, Moscow,
Palouse and other Inland Empire
points will be on hand to see the two
teams in action. 1t is hardly to be
hoped that Bender's men can win
from the salaried players, but it is
a certainty that the visitors will be
given a run for their money.

BLOODHOUND NOT A FIGHTER
Dogs Size and Feroelous Appearance
Responsible for Idea That Has
Become Widespread.

Contrary to the general belief. the
bloodhound Is not apt 10 worry or
harm It's quarry. The object Is to To-
cate the man hunted. or. when game
Is sought, to force the bear or wild
boar to cover, where the more active
fighting terriers will do the worrying
and aid the gunners in making q kill.
The modern police dog will seize and
hold a suspect until his human aids
come up, but the bloodhound Ia more
passive and Is content to bay aloud
the fact that the fugitive has been cor
rallied.
The size. muscular appearance and
strong features Of the bloodhound are
ocular evidence TO the preiudiced that
the dog is a savage customer. The
common use Of bloodhounds In Uncle
Toms Cabin" performances has helped
to spread the idea that the breed is fe-
rocious.
There Is a story Of a stage dog Of
this breed that before going with an
Uncle Toms Cabin" troupe was a
police dog. The bloodhound liked po-
ncemen so much that he always want
ed TO run up and make friends when
ever he saw one. The bloodhound used
to break away from the street parades
to run into the country police stations.
When the policemen saw him coming
they always tried to climb out OF the
back windows at the same time, and
often hurt each other in trying TO es
