its possession on the Arabic case.
While Bernstorfi has communi-
Gated with his own government, Am
hassador Gerard al Berlin has been
Instructed TO present to the German
foreign Office a summary of the evil
dence gathered BY the United States
government and accepted as conclu-
slye proof that the White Star liner
Arabic was torpedoed without warn
ing, causing the loss Of two Ameri-
cans.
The general expectation is that sew
eral days, possibly two weeks, will
elapse before the decision of the Ger
man government is made known.
Bernstorf, however, is optimistic and
gave out an interview in which he
said:
Il am sure that within a fortnight
all supposed difficulties between the
United States and Germany will have
been settled and permanently settled,
and the nations will be more friendly
than they ever have been"
The Dumba Incident.
The situation which resulted in
the request for the recall of the Aus
trian ambassador, DR.. Dumba, arose
when an American newspaperman
was arrested in London and letter
bearing Dumba's signature and
directed to Austria's foreign minister,
asking financial aid in promoting a
strike in munitions factories in the
United States, was found. When
asked by this government for an ex-
plaration, Dumba not only admitted
the plan but attempted to justify
himself, and the United States imme-
diately sent note to Austria re-
questing his recall.
No answer has been received to
this yet and Associated Press reports
from Vienna say the note has not yet
been received by the Austrian Off
Gals. Meanwhile Dumba himself an
nounces he has asked his govern
ment for permission to return to
Austria, thus relieving the situation.
No difficulties with Austria are an

worth, with which 1t estimates it can
run the pumps at the water plant and
also light the city. The Light &
Power company is now receiving ap-
proximately $4,000 year for this
pumping, which would make the cost
of the two $6,264 a year, or twice
the cost of the other plan.
Under the Foshay deal. however,
the city would have to erect the dis
tributing system, probably by special
assessments, unless Foshay engages
in the commercial sale of light and
power as the franchises and contract
permit him to do in a district bound
ed by Seventh, Jefferson, the govern
ment waterway and the north city
limits, If the city does not, when he
would have to erect a distributing
system in that district.
The franchises contain per cent
gross earnings tax and stipulations
as to when the plants are to be in
operation, while the proposed con-
tract requires $1,000 bond If &C

TENINo TO HAVE FAIR.

Following plans made by the
schools last year and a movement
which was started by the CONNER
cial club early in the spring, an in
dustrial fair Is to be held in Tenino
this fall. perhaps about the middle
OF October. says the Tenino Journal.
Arrangements will be made to
hold the fair in the I. o. o. F. hall.
Full details will be arranged by
Superintendent G. Lee Martin, who
has the school division we'll in hand,
and a committee from the CONNER
cial club. The plans to finance the
fair as now outlined, are for the mer-
chants of Tenino to each have a
booth where they can demonstrate
their various lines of gods, and there
will also be booths for school work.
Premiums for work of school
pupils will be offered, also for agri-
cultural produce. including canned
fruit and vegetables. At this time
no effort will be made for showing
of live stock or poultry, that division
will be left until another year.

to show the value of the work done
since it was started last January, and
to point out the advisability Of con-

commissioners by those interested in
the retention of the county agent.
Reports current in Olympia tell of
opposition among the farmers to the
plan. and several farmers appeared
before the commissioners last Mon
day and urged them to stand pat"
upon the elimination of the appro-
priation, among these being John
Rogers Of Pleasant Glade and Arthur

friends of the plan claim this senti-

they adopt the same form of organi-

Remember the Doctor.

The Ladies' Home Journal has
voiced the sentiment OF all in the
following article:
When some one dear to us be-
comes i'll during the night we cannot
get to the telephone quick enough
and ask the doctor to come at once.
And as we wait for him to dress and
reach our house we pass anxious mo-
ments and wish that doctors never
slept and could always be at our call.
Then when he has allayed the SUI
fering and quoted our alarm we are
very quick to forget how anxiously
we wanted him and how the minutes
OF his coming seemed like hours. And
when his bill comes for the service
rendered we have forgotten 1T entire
ly! This goes on constantly IN nun
dreds of homes throughout the coun-
try, and the doctors and their fam
ilites are put to it, owing to the slow
pay of their patients, to meet their
domestic bills! 1t is a case OF first
in illness but last in pay. No other
professional man has so great a
number of bills owed to him as has
the doctor, and no single fact in our
domestic financing is so thoroughly
reflective Of our selfishness and for
getfulness as this. If the bill OF any
man is entitled to first consideration
and pay at our hands it is that OF the
Doctors!

Talk Happiness.

Talk happiness instead of gloom,
and keep your face with smiles
abloom. There's so much sorrow ev-
erywhere, too much of fear and
cracking care, that one who would
increase the woe we size up as pub
lie foe. Too many people kick and
knock; we hear too much talk and
dole and doom-talk happiness in
stead of gloom! Talk happiness and
you will fetch new courage to some
hopeless wretch; you'll brace up tir-
ed, desponent men, so they will get
their grip again; the message in
your hopeful words will travel fast
er than the birds, and help more peo-
pie, far and near, than you could
number in year. Oh, get the habit,
right away, while yet the year is
young and gay! Make up your mind
to can the whine and keep your eyes
from leaking brine, behind your
whiskers let there be a smile that
speaks of faith and glee. Get down
among the croaking boys, and shame
them with your cheerful noise. For
life is short, and we would strive to
have our fun while yet alive; if we'd
do that we must believe that it is
foolishness to grieve; for doubts and
fears we'll have no room; talk hap
piness instead of gloom.-Walt Ma
son.

lazy Farmers, Don't Read This.

The United States Department OF
Agr iculture, the state boards and eX-
perts all over the country are urging
the farmers of America to cultivate
every available acre during the COM
ing year. The war in Europe assures
the sale of almost everything that
can be raised Every article that is
exported to feed the soldiers and the
citizens and the stock of Europe
means just that much less for home
consumption, therefore even with big
crops of everything, the prices will
be high. If it is not a good crop
year the farmers will at least raise
enough for home use and will not
have to pay the high prices that will
prevail. Utilize every available acre
for grain, grasses and vegeta bles. In
many sections farmers are urged to
try a double acreage OF potatoes. 1t
should not be necessary under proper
conditions, to import potatoes into
any agricultural country. Put the
hens and turkeys to work and give
them a square deal. Raise pigs, cat
tie and horses and in as large num-
bers as the accommodation of the
farm will justify and any losses that
any farmer, planter or rancher may
have sustained during last year will
be more than made good. The war
in Europe may last for months or
years but while it continues there
will be an active demand for every
thing we produce. Should the war
end this week the nations engaged
will need all our surplus products OF
year at least. Take our advice
for once, and do not permit good TIL
able land to lie idle in 1916
