sought to convince him that, instead of carrying
on his present fight he should exert himself to
organize the work along lines he thought were
proper rather than to eliminate it entirely be
cause some features Of it di>peaSed him.
The chief argument we have heard against the
county agent plan what It's opponents put forth
as their strongest argument, can be summed up
in one question: "Why produce more when we
can t sell what we grow now?' Our answer IS:
the Thurston County Farm Bureau and the county
agriculturist are the only potential factors we
now have for the solution of the marketing prob
lem Eliminate them and you eliminate at the
same time your only present chance for solution
of that problem. the greatest the Thurston county
farmer faces In the past he has tried to solve 1t
himself and has failed: it is high time an organ
lied agency such as this were given the opportu-
nifty to do it for him.
Perhaps the bureau and the agent have not
made as substantial progress i'll this respect this
year as some think they should or as they them
selves desired ''Rome was not built in day"
nor was the Puyaup e. Sumner Fruit Growers
Association-the best farm-marketing agency in
the state-established in it's present efficient form
in eight or nine months 1t took years. 1t is fair
and logical to assume, then that it will take about
the same length of time to make the same prog
ress in Thurston county These are things con-
cerned with the application of the county agricul
turist plan in this county, but they do not and
cannot put into question the value Of that plan
for this county.
What this newspaper is striving for what it
most earnestly DESIRES is the continuation of the
county agriculturst for another year, confidently
believing that it's further and efficient APP
plication-more efficient because of the experience
of the last few months-will remove practically
all opposition and open the door to better agricul
tural conditions here. We hold no brief for Van
Houten he needs none, for that matter, if the res
olutions and statements Of farmers from all parts
of the county are any indication. We are con-
tending solely for the theory and for the oppor-
tunity which will give that theory the proper test
Unquestionably the commissioners sh oul d
authorize the employment of county agricul-
turist here another year-and we believe they
will.

A LITTLE GIRL AND A LITTLE PIG.

From the Washington State College comes the
story of the little Washougal girl who won Shet-
land pony because she was the best pig-raiser in
the state, story that was told to the American
Bankers Association at it's recent session in
Seattle to illustrate what the agricultural extern
sion work in this state, in which the county farm
expert is an important element, is accomplishing
among the boys and girls as well as their elders.
Here is the story, as told by T. j. Newbill:
'Ethel May Harvey purchased SOW, kept her
records, did her own work, produced pork at a
cost of 31a cents per pound, when it was costing
many of the elders to cents per pound, made
between $78 and $40 from her pure-bred sow, and
won the Shetland pony, which she rides twoand-
a-half miles to school and back every day. because
she was the best pig raiser in the state This is
a real achievement, and achievement is the only
patent of nobility in modern times says the
president"
What are the boys and girls of Thurston county
doing? There are pig clubs here, too, and poultry
clubs and canning clubs in several of the schools
for the girls, and Thurston county boy took
second prize in the boys stock judging contest at
the Southwest Washington Fair Very likely the
exhibits the boys and girls of the county will make
at the agricultural and industrial contest in con-
nection with the Thurston County Fair next
month will surprise their elders. And big part

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
CUTTING DOWN YOUR TAXES.

The Republicans, of course, will claim the
credit, for Republican board-made so by the
last legislature announced it, but the fact
remains that the further reduction in the state
tax levy for this year. just announced, to seven
mills or more than one million one hundred thou
sand dollars, comes as the result of the econom-
ical management of the state departments during
Governor Listers administration. 1t is the second
reduction, too, during his term, last years levy
having been more than six hundred thousand dol
lars less than the previous making total reduc-
ton of nearly million and three-quarters since
Lister took Office
These are the things that count. Prediction
talk sounds good and generally gets votes, but
actual practice after election is what the people
want and think they're going to get, but usually
do not. In this particular instance they have
campaign statements come true, taxes reduced,
and their business more efficiently handled. Lister
has done just what he told them he would do.
This reduction of million one hundred thou
sand dollars in total state revenues this year
means that Thurston county taxpayers will be
called upon by the state for thirteen thousand
two hundred dollars less this year than they were
last, reduction Of nearly twelve per cent. If the
other taxing bodies which determine what the
residents of the city and county have to pay,
could make an equal showing, the Thurston county
taxpayer would see q reduction in his taxes that
would please him greatly.
The county commissioners will meet next Mon
day for final adoption Of the budget upon which
the tax levy is based AS tentatively drawn, that
budget is from nine to ten thousand dollars
higher than last year, there being large increase
in the general road and bridge fund and smaller
increases in other items, Offset by reductions in
Others. # you can point out to the commissioners
where they can alter that budget in such way
that there viii be appreciable reduction in your
taxes it i your duty to yourself and your county

The time to kick is now, not when you 60 into

II you keep silent now, it's up to you to keep your
mouth shut another year. Now is when the kick

USING THE PARCEL POST.

One Of the interesting exhibits at the Thurston
county fair this month is to be that of the post
Office department, depicting the possibilities open
to the farmer and the city consumer in the direct
dealing in farm produce through the medium Of
the parcel post. Interesting, therefore, is the
dispatch from Indianapolis Indiana, which tells
us that reports of its postofice show more than
thousand housewives of that city take advantage

ucts Farmers, and especially the boys and girls
on the farms, have been brought to realize that

When, one after the other, representatives Of
the different farming communities of the county
presented resolutions, petitions and their own
views to the commissioners last Monday, urging
them to retain county agricultural for next
year and giving their endorsement to O. G. Van
Houten's work in that capacity--men and reso-
buttons representing the remote sections of the
county as well as those nearby Olympia, showing
that the work had been carried on widely through
out the county--the question as to what the great
majority Of the farmers Of the county want was
sufficiently answered it would seem.
True, the commissioners reserved decision for
two weeks to permit the opponents of the plan to
submit their argument, but it might be said in
passing that there just three persons in that
whole delegation which jammed the commission
ers' room who opposed the plan and they had
nothing to say at this weeks meeting. They will
busy themselves during these two weeks, of
course, to make good showing as possible at
the later meeting; consequently, those in favor of
sentiment at present seems to be so overwhelm-
ingly in favor of retaining agriculturist in this
county next year that the good effect of this
week Is meeting should not be lost.
Conversations had this week with one of the
three persons opposing the county agent plan
convinced us and him that what he was really
opposed to was not the county agent plan but
some features of its application in this county.
This particular persons dslikes the present agent,
for reasons we do not know, and also dislikes the
basis upon which the Thurston County Farm

We publish below the proceedings
of the meeting held at the M. e.
church in this place on Saturday
evening last to devise ways and
means to provide for the widows and
orphans induced to emigrate to this
territory by Hon. A. s. Mercer. The
assemblage was creditable, consid-
ering the unsuitableness of the hour,
and the sentiment appeared to be
cordially in favor of extending a
hearty welcome. Gov. Evans stated
the object Of the meeting in a few
terse remarks. He said that while
he urged the adoption of such meas
ures as the emergency required, he
denounced the injustice and cruelty
done the homeless wives and daugh-
ters of our country's defenders in
the evident Misrepresentation made
to induce these deluded women to
accept the cold charity of strangers.
The committee report that up
wards of eighty of the young women
accompanying Mr.. Mercer to this
territory. can be provided with homes
in this county.
A dispatch from New York says
Mercer will sail from that city on
the 30th OF September in the U. s.

the government has loaned him.

HE IS ALIVE And WELL
Clarence Dawson Has Been Definite

Knoxville Journal: Clarence Daw.
son, the cause of MUCH worry and use
less work on part of relatives and
friends, and of much gossip which
spread all over two counties, Marion
and Mahaska, was definitely located
on Monday of this week by his father
/. E. Dawson, and Al Brobst, after
they had followed a clue which lead
to and beyond OskalOosa. About the
only information that the elder Mr.
Dawson will give, concerning the out
come of the weeks search for the
missing man is that his son Is positive
ly known to be alive and well and
working in the north" By this the
public is to understand that Clarence
is in the Minnesota harvest fields, how
ever according to Mr.. BrObst, he and
the young mans father saw and con.
versei with the supposed dead man
Monday. Consequently he cannot be
much more than located in the north,
efn grain fields at this time. Clyde
Dawson adds to the information given
out by his father and Mr.. Brobst by a
story to the effect that Clarence was
knocked on the head" on the night
of Aug. Is, and that he was in daz-
ed and irresponsible condition for a
full week thereafter, not fully coming
to a realization OF his surroundings
until few hours before he was locat'
ed. The head injury is supposed to
account for the fact that he remained
perfectly quiet and kept his identity
unknown while the relatives and his
friends spent week dragging the Dies
Moines river for his body; while the
officers of two counties were; doing
their best to assist in the search and
while his parents, sisters and broth

were in mourning over his supposed

Paris, Aug. 3O-With the cross of

and with tears in his eyes, Lieutenant
Gilbert, the famous airman who es.

Geneva express escorted by captain

thorities in conformity with war Office
orders. Although Gilbert sent the
Swiss authorities letter withdrawing
his parole they complained he fed
from the country before they received
it, and when the Swiss stan issued a
note claiming the aviator had escaped
before his parole had really been with
