MAY CARRY CASE
TO SUPREME COURT
Probability That Appeal Will be
Taken from ssDry" Decision
of Judge Wright

Olympia, July 81 Declaring the
new statewide prohibition law valid
and constitutional, Judge D. F. Wright
of the superior court of Thurston
county, has handed down his decision
in the test case brought by M. and K.
Gottstein and others, Of Seattle,
against the governor, secretary of
state and attorney general, to re-
strain these officials from putting the
new law into effect. The decision in
this case has been awaited with great
interest throughout the state, and it
sustains not only the prohibition law
but also upholds the validity of the
initiative and referendum amendment
to the constitution which was also at
tackled. While it is highly probable
that the case will be appealed to the
supreme court, it is thought that it
will be passed upon by that court at
the October term, as the time set for
the taking effect of the law is Janu-
airy 1, 1916. There is said to be a
possibility that the case will be ap-
pealed to the United States Supreme
court.

DEBATE QUESTION SETTLED

The question selected for debate by
the high schools Of the state at the
next term is Resolved, that the Mon
roe Doctrine should be Continued as
part of the Permanent Foreign Pol
icy of the United States" according
to an announcement from the office of
State Superintendent Mrs. Josephine
Preston. The schools taking part in
the contest are divided into six
groups, known as divisions A, B, C,
D, E and F, each group under the SUI
pervision of a district manager. j.
H. Morgan, of the Ellensburg Normal
school, is district manager of Division
D, which includes the Kennewick and
Prosser high schools, the other schools
in the division being Grandview, Nab
ton, Sunnyside, North Yakima, Wa
patio, Toppenish, Richland, Roslyn, Ell

REFERENDUM COSTLY

Notwithstanding the famous "seven
sisters" decision of the supreme court
the cost to the taxpayers Of Washing
ton Of checking the names on the sew
en- petitions filed for referendum on
laws put through by the last legisla-
ture, amounts to the sum of 200 and
this, does not include sne printing bills
and incidental expenses which will
ccome later. The 1915 legislature
made an appropriation of $4,000 to
cover the expense Of printing and cir
culating referendum and initiative Pc
titions and laws, but it has been es-
timated that if all the measures pro-
posed to be initiated are submitted to
the people at the next general election
that the $4,000 appropriation provid-
ed for the work may not be sufficient
for the purpose.

Government Experts Come to
Assist but Not to Direct the
Marketing of Peach Crop

o. w. Schleussner and j. w. Fisher,
Representatives of the government of
flee of markets and rural organization
arrived in North Yakima last week
and at once took up the work of as
sisting w. H. Davidson, of Hood Riv-
er, in marketing the peach crop.
Charles j. Brand, chief of the Office
of markets and rural organization, has
issued the following official statement
regarding the attempt to assist in the
distribution of the crop:
"The Office of markets and rural or
ganization of the department of ag-
riculture has stationed representatives
at North Yakima to investigate the
feasibility of, proper methods of con-
Quoting, and the value of a market
news service in the distribution Of
perishables-in this case the peach and
pear crops.
''The department is able to secure
from the transportation companies
and from its disinterested represen-
tatives in the principal markets infor-
nation not available to the average
shipper.
"Similar experiments have been con-
Quoted in connection with the move
ment of the Louisiana strawberry
crop, the tomato crop Of southern
Mississippi and east Texas respective
ly, the cantaloupe crops of the Imper-
ial Valley and of Arizona. In modi-
fled form similar experiment for the
peach section of the southwest is
handled from an Office in St. Louis.
Further experiments will be made in
other localities.
Financial benefits which may &C
crue to growers during the present
season as the result of this expert
mental service, are incidental to it
and are not the mann object of the
work The department solicits the
whole-hearted cooperation Of every
one in the Northwest interested in the
successful marketing of the crops in
cluded, because the possibilities of
this experimental work can be judged
with. accuracy only under such con-
ditions. Our temporary Office at
North Yakima should be made the
clearing house for all information in
the possession of any grower or ship
per which can be made of value in Sc
curing a wise and profitable distribu-
ton Of the present CROP"

To wash discoIored embroidery place
N vessel with cold water. blued. but
not too deep. and with the juice Of a
lemon. Boil for half an hour and aft
erward rinse in cold water and dry In
fresh air.
Bread should never be covered with
a cloth when taken from the oven. but
laid on the side and allowed to be-
come perfectly cold. then kept in a
closely covered tin box without any
wrappings.
To clean white paint use very hot
water, and add to one pail of water a
tablespoonful of turpentine and little
borax. Wipe very dry and rub with a
cloth dipped in whiting.
When boot or shoe pinches wiring
q cloth out In very hot water and
place 1t over the place while the boot

Economy IN The Home.

Economy in the home can never Be
accomplished until women learn bust
ness methods In running their. house
holds. It IS highly important that
they should consult market reports and
should see just what meats and veg
etables are inexpensive and then make
up the weekly menus from these ar
ticles.
OF course 1t may be necessary to
pay a few cents more here and there
than the prices quoted. for food sold
at the smaller stores Is more expen-
sive than that sold at the markets.
However. there will not be such tire
mendous difference. and a table OF
this kind should be of invaluable aid
to the housewife in making out mex
pensive menus.
