Back Yard Garden to Pay all His Ex-

students in the Normal can take
their waste and leisure time and apply
it to truck gardening on the Fort Hays
campus and work their way through
school thereby" is what Professor
Matthew tells every student and thirty
nine are following his advice this sum-
mer.
In his leisure time from his duties as
a teacher in the Normal which he used
to devote to golf he now devotes to his
one acre back yard garden. From the
proceeds secured from it three years
ago he and his wife made three
months tour of New York and New
England Last year he cleared 1867
from his acre He took this sum and
put it in the bank as a separate fund
This year he will clear about the same
amount. This separate fund he is go
/ ing to use on leave of absence this
year when he and his wife and baby
will spend a year at the University of
Minnesota where Professor Matthew
will finish up his work toward higher
/ degree. The state board of admins
! tration has granted him years leave
of absence and by riding his hobby the
last two years he will be able to pay
his entire expenses at the University.
He will return to the Fort Hays Nor
NAL September, 1916.
Professor Matthew has been general
manager of the Fort Hays Truckers
Association and has been the faculty
advisor of all students working their
way through school. His advise has
been based upon his own actual exper-
fence and he is going to prove it next
year at the University of Minnesota on
the separate fund he made while teach
ing in the Fort Hays Normal.

Answer Made by
the Prohibitionists

Here, then, we find the answer
of the prohibitionists. Convert
the breweries into creameries,
fruit products plants, and-as is
already being done-into con-
denseries, wholesale groceries
etc.
The capital of the brewers and
distillers will then be not de-
stroyed: their buildings and land
will not become useless; men will
still have employment; the out
put will give employment to beer
truck drivers and statesmen.
Moreover, instead of the new
material being hops and barley
for malt, it will be alfalfa, corn,
etc., for cows.
1t will mean very much more
corn and alfalfa which means
more land cultivated in Washing
ton, more farmers, farm hands,
and also more homes. Thus the
land and the handling of food
products will take up much, IL not
all, the idleness caused by prohi-
bition.
This would mean more rapid
settlement.
More farms would mean more
railroad traffic, more railroads
and more general business, be-
cause farms and farmers have to
be served.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-08-28

been merely a listening and din
ing body. 1t has not acted on the
pleas of these prominent business
men, neither refusing nor permit
ting them to do what they want to
do.
Under the law it is doubtful If
the commission has any power to
grant immunity from the Sher-
man act.
The only indication as to poll
cies to be followed by the trade
commission are found in certain
press notices issued from time to
time.
These convey the idea that the
commission is anxious not to pes
ter business, but to be helpful in
a large, constructive way. Moth
ing is said in these bulletins
about the complaints issued, nor
about the purposes to be served
by the hearings and jOurneyings
and eatings around the country.
Presumably, however, 1t is a
move in the direction of helping
prosperity to return and in this
purpose it will be commended by
many people, and particularly by

boarded up and the machinery al
lowed to rust when the new pro-
hibition law goes intot effect on
the first of the year.
This is as much of an outlook
as a prominent official of the
brewery had to make today.
He said that the building in
the present shape could not be
used for any other purpose, and
no other manufacturing concern
would attempt installing new ma
chinery.
More than 10000 barrels OF
beer are sent to California every
year, he asserts. The company
already is building plant in
San Francisco and removing the
ammonia cold storage plant the
one in Tacoma, preparatory to
shipping 1t south.
In the present capacity, the
brewery is using more than 100
men, IS per cent OF them family
men, earning 81 a day and spend
ing their money in Tacoma, 80
say the brewery officials.
Within a month or six weeks
the brewery will begin using up
the stored stock in the cooling
watts, disseminating brewing.
This will mean that at least half
of the men will be forced out of
employment, it was officially as
serted, meaning loss of approx
imately $4,000 a month. And on
the eve of the new year $4,000
more will be shut off, and the
process of mailing the doors and
windows will start.
OF course, the brewery officials
harbor hope that the voters will
reverse their decision at an early
future, providing they reverse IL
at all. If this should be done the
machinery will be on hand for
an immediate opening.

Commission Having
See-America- First Tour


The headquarters of the COM
: mission here in Washington have
been left to small clerical force,
while the commission itself is
junketing over the country &C
cepting the hospitality of many
chambers of commerce in many
cities. Beginning many weeks
ago, the commission started on
a see-America-first tour, includ-
ing the following cities: Chicago,
Detroit, Cincinnati, Indianapolis,
Minneapolis, Spokane, North Yak
ina, Seattle, Tacoma, San Fran
cisco, San Diego and Los Angeles.
At various places the commits
sion has conducted what it termed
hearings"
At these certain invited bust
ness men representing large in
terests, present arguments and
pleas for permission to do certain
things.
Generally these things are what
in the past have been regarded as
bordering closely on violations of
the Sherman law.
They want, for instance, to
/. combine and maintain prices on
the plea that such combination
will assist them in securing for
eign trade. The lumbermen of
Chicago presented pleas of this
sort and some arguments to the
effect that they are not trust, as
has been intimated by the bureau
of corporations In the three-vol-

OLYMPIA, Aug. 2S.-The day
prohibition becomes effective in
Washington, we are told by the
anti-prohibitionists, property val
ued at many thousands of dollars
will be destroyed and thousands
of men and women will be thrown
out of work and forced to seek
employment in a market where
the employment supply already
far exceeds the demand.
Huge buildings and costly ma
chinery will suddenly become
worthless. Hop growers and
grain growers will be unable to
market their crops.
And SO on, and so on. All the
thousands of men engaged in the
growing of these crops, in their
transportation, and in all such
phases of manufacturing liquor.
will BIO idle.
Hard times will result, Just as
sure as the sun will rise on Jan. |.
This is the story of the anti
prohibitionists.
The prohibitionists point simply
to the work of preparation now
going on in practically every
brewery of this state to convert
these liquor factories into factor
les that will turn out other pro-
ducts.

Brewery Men Are
Still PesSimistic

The brewery men are pessimis-
tic. They admit they are making
these preparations. But they be-
little the probable results. Never
theless, the work of preparation
goes on. In some parts of the
state 1t has been completed.
The Schmidt brothers, who con-
troll the Olympia Brewing Co., re-
Gently bought out the Farmers
Cooperative Creamery at Olym-
pia. and converted part of their
brewery into a dairy products
plant, where they are manufac
turing butter, ice and ice cream
and storing eggs.
This was done, they explain
gloomily, because 1t was neces-
sary to keep their ice plant going
despite the fact that their output
of beer was decreasing in antici.
patton of prohibition. The cream
cry was established to keep the
ice plants efficiency up to stand
ard.
But Just the same, the cream
cry is operating, and a big auto
truck is busy every day rolling
along the roads of Thurston
county gathering cream from the
farmers in territory within a
radius of 40 miles of the cream
cry.
Under the incorporated name
of the Fruja Fruit Products Co.,
the brewery concern also has en-
gagged in the manufacture of fruit
beverages at its bottling works.
1t is making six varieties of fruit
drinks.

Great Field Opens
for Dairymen Here

Year by year, however, the
amount imported has grown
smaller, until this year statistics
now being checked over by the
state department of agriculture
will, 1t is predicted, show that the
states dairy products supply is
almost, If not quite, keeping pace
with the demand.
The development of Alaska is
opening field for Washington
dairy products, the future extent
of which can be but vaguely fore
casted. That great country will
not for long time produce even
a small proportion of what 1t
consumes, and Washington is it's
nearest market.
Another field Is developing in
British Columbia. That province
has heretofore drawn heavily on
Australia for its butter supply.
But Australia has suffered a
drought this year, and what little
surplus she had has gone to feed
the allies in the war zone.
Creamery men are agreed that
IL the Washington farmer will
apply himself studiously, employ
ing economical business methods
to the dairy business, he will find
a ready market for all he can pro-
duce, and will reap profits enough
to encourage him in expanding.
