spite of the fact that lack of rains at
proper times has injured the crop
prospect quite a bit.

About Cutting Marquis Wheat

Editor Courier-Democrat:
A few weeks ago the man who bred
Marquis wheat, who is Professor
Saunders, of the Ottawa experiment
station, of the Dominion Of Canada,
gave a talk on the characteristics Of
this variety Of wheat at the annual
meeting of the Great Plains Expert
mental Association held at Mandan,
in this state.
In speaking of its desirable and
undesirable characters he made a
strong point of it's close adherence to
the chaff and its freedom from shell
ling, yer when dead ripe. He men
toned the fact that more complaints
had reached his Office regarding the
difficulty experienced in threshing
Marquis wheat than of all the other
points of this variety combined.
Climatic conditions this year make
wheat appear more ripe than is ac-
tually found to be the case upon an
examination of the kernal. ! have

found that here in this county many
are cutting their Marquis wheat,
where it could easily be allowed to
stand another week. Fear of hail.
or the attempting to cut a very large
acreage with one binder are the only
valid reasons for being in a rush with
cutting this wheat.
would suggest that all crops of
Marquis wheat be allowed to thor
oughly mature on the straw before
being cut. BY so doing a heavier,
plumper wheat will be obtained and
there will be less wheat going into
the straw at threshing time.
In localities where rust is prevail

will not hold.

THE WAVE o. THE FLAG.

0 the flags your friend when you're
far away,
For with every ripple it seems to
say:
I'm from the Land where the
home-folk stay,
And I bring you a message across
the foam
To the lands where the hearts that
love me roam:
Just as I'm waving now for you.
I'm waving over the hearts at home,
And there, where the free-born peo-
pie dwell,
Ais well-all's WE'LL!
II.
o the wave O. the Flag, when the
wandered seems
To send his soul on the wings Of
dreams
over the billowy spaces dim
To the land where the home-lights
shine for him!
For II says of the hearts so far from
sight:
"They dream of you in the dark and
light
They listen for footsteps in the night;
And from dawn to the shadows that
flicker and fall
Ny guarding stars are over them all;
Under my folds in peace they dwell
AlTg Well-alIs Welli'

Tie wave O. the Flag! And you feel
the thrill
OF land for the Land where it's wav-
ing still,
no wanderer homeless-unloyed-
forlornl
You're from the Land where the
Flag was born.
You bow to its stars on an alien
sod
Sure as the stars in the heavens Of
God,
Bright-eternal as Liberty stands
with love for the world IN her life
giving hands!
You are one with the Flag, with one
story to tell:
Where my Land smiles in Peace, OF
the seabillows swell.

Much has been published
about the Dollar line.
The Journal says this line
consists of seven steamers.
three of which, in the coast
wise trade, always have been
and always will be sailed un-
DER the American flag. The
other four vessels manned with
Chinese crews sailed under a
foreign flag until the war
broke out, when the danger of
German raiders caused them to
be transferred hastily to the
American flag, "for the time
being only" as Capt. Robert
Dollar said at the time. These
-four vessels have now been
put back under an alien flag.
The Journal says the reason is
that the German raiders have
disappeared from the Pacific,
the La Toilette act having
nothing to do with it.
The sale of five of the Pa.
cific Mail fleet is due, accord.
ing to the Journal, to the fact
that railroad-owned vessels are
denied the use of the Panama
canal. At least two of them
will be put on the New York
San Francisco run via the ca.
nal and must of necessity be
continued in the United States
registry. If this change in
ownership was caused in any
degree by Federal legislation,
the Journal insists that the ca.
nal code, not the La Toilette
act, must be blamed.
But the canal code require
ment that railroads shall not
operate steamers through the
canal is a good measure not a
bad one. Without that pro-
vision it would be possible for
transcontinental railroads to
control steam er business
through the canal and elimi.

sulting to the public from the
construction of the canal.

was just century ago
that a London tailor one
bright spring morning, walked
IJauntly down Bond street, in
London, clad in the odd loose
breeches that hung to his toes.
He was a great curiosity, and
his freak" apparel created
no small stir. The wits of our
day who ply their pens vigor-
ously on the subject of wom-
ems dress were far outdone by
the jokesmiths of a century
ago, when trousers were first
worn. But the valiant tailor
persisted, was the butt of Lon
don town, and thereby gave to
modern man the clothing for
his neither limb.
1t is hard at this distance of
time to realize the storm of
disapproval that attended the
transition from knee breeches
to trousers. The jaunty tailor
was assaulted by a mob and
was arrested for indecencv
The Duke of Wellington,
fresh from his laurels at Wa
terloo, was later impressed
with the greater convenience
of the new garment, and de.
termined to popularize long
trousers. So he had a pair
made and wore them to a ball.
Despite his high standing as a
popular hero, he was turned
away with the ultimatum,
THE guests at this ball must
be dressed" But slowly and
surely the fashion of long
trousers displaced that of
breeches, stockings, shoe and
buckles, The real reason was
economy of time in dressing.

ply. After having instituted proceed
ing against them IN this city, the
WallA Walla authorities have decid-
cd to dismiss the cases, r. F. Nc
Lean, superintendent Of the water de-
partment having so advised District
Attorney Steiwer.
The letter received by the district
attorney states that in considera-
tion Of other cases involving Mill
creek as a source OF supply which
are Of more Importance it has been
determined not to prosecute Silas
Hunter and the girls who were ar
rested several weeks ago on a
charge Of pollutlng the stream. The
more important case" referred to Is
probably the suit for $4,000 dam
axes which Mrs. Clinker brought
against the city for shutting off her
camping grounds on Mill creek.
1t is probable too that public sem

abandonment Of the cases. Two OF

Feeling in Milton and the east end Of
the county was strongly IN favor OF
