Always the Other Fellow.

Have you ever noted how tickled
some men are when they think they
have enacted law to take away
some other mans liberties? They
always think that righteous act. OF
course we ourselves have no habits
that need to be regulated. All such
laws are always for the other fellow
All reform and uplift work we do
is also for the other fellow. Even
hell itself is place to which we con-
sign the other fellOw-never our
selves. The pious Pharisee, after
all, left a numerous progeny and the
publicans continue to be poor AMI
despised fellows, except in sermons,
where they are always eXtolled.-

LUTHER WINS LAST GAME.
Tune OF :,3 to 16. Luther Now
Preparing for Base Ball.

Luther finished her basket ball
season with victory of the fast Ag-
gies. The Aggies defeated Luther at
Saint Paul by score Of 33 to 80 and
the Luther quint were bent on even
ing matters up so they just simply
took the game. The game was rough
and fast; both teams playing a strong
defensive game. In this style O.
game Luther eNcelled, which fact
accounted for the large score piled
up against her opponents.
Streeter was the individual star of
the evening, shooting seven field
goals. While Kjos was a close sec
ond with six. For the Aggies, De
Vries did most of the counting,
caging five field goals. The Luther
guards again showed their strength,
by holding the Aggie forwards to one
basket apiece. Borgerson of the Az
gies attracted much attention by his
skillful playing.

Happily, the boys and girls attend

now, for something to occupy your

With the approach of Spring,
wouldn't it be great thing for our
town if the majority of citizens
would determine to do a little land :.
Escape gardening this year?
What if every home should re-
move any unsightly shrubbery that
may have been permitted to grow in
their yards or along their boulevards
and replace it with really attractive
plants
All OF us could do this, and we
feel sure we should be glad for it

had shown us the improved appear

ed was development and this did not
come until after the big trip, on
which the players learned great
deal.
With the close of the basket ball
season, indoor baseball training has
been started. This year the indoor
training was started a trifle late but
this was caused by the long basket
ball season. The material for this
years team is very plentiful, but a
trifle green. 1t will take considera-

Entire Field of Four Hundred
Cows in First Six Months Test
With 349.3 Pounds Fat

Despite the fact that dry pastures
hot weather, flies and shortage OF
feed combined to pull down the
August production of the COWS In the
Whitman County Cow Testing asso-
cation, the following figures taken
from the records kept by VIM.
Beardsley, tester for the association,
go to show that good dairy manage
ment, coupled with the right kind of
cows, will get results.
Many of the COWS in the different
herds were well along in their lac
tatlon period, large number were
dry last month, and in all, only a lit
tie over 300 cows were tested: never
theless in spite of all the difficulties
u cows made over 40 pounds of but
ter-fat during the month of August.
which is an exceptionally good show
ing. Many testing associations with
over 500 cows on test seldom have
20 cows making over 40 pounds of
butter-fat in month.
The highest records made were as
follows:
Mig, grade Holstein, owned by L..
n. Chase of Palouse, 53.4 pounds.
Betty, grade holstein, owned by j.
G. Graham of Palouse, 1872 pounds.

Chris Wurgler of Pullman, 45.9
pounds.
Seventeen cows owned by the
above and other members OF the as
ISOLATION made between 40 and As
pounds of butter-fat during the
month of August.
The association records for June
show that a total of 46 cows pro-
duced over 40 pounds of butter-fat
In the month, "Merm aid" a grade
Jersey owned by j. c. Graham pro-
duced as high as 66.6 pounds of but
ter-fat. To date, this COW is in the
front rank of the association, as she
has produced a total of 349.3 pounds
Dutter-fat in six months, which is
more than twice the average of
Washington COWS for an entire year.
July showed a slight falling off in
the matter of high records, yet even
then seven cows made over SO
pounds OF butter-fat and 32 others
produced between 40 and 50 pounds.
Holstein won high honors in July,
producing 66.6 pounds, exactly the
same amount made by the highest
Jersey in June.
The Whitman County Cow Test
ing Association was organized early
last spring and began operations in
March. The tester visits each herd
one day month, weighs up the milk
from each COW and tests it. He fig
ures up the cost of feed and from
that finds the profit or loss on each
COW every month. A few unprofit-
able COWS have been discovered in
the work so far, but in the main the
records made by the Whitman
county COWS are exceptionally good,
and considerably above the average
for the state.
