the ancient church at Barfreston, near
Canterbury, England. and during the
summer many tourists visit the
church. Round the Norman doorway

meaning Of the carving.

OF Scripture. It's on the text: This is
the are; come, let us kill him.

NORTHWEST FARMERS SHOULD.
SPECIALIZE IN ONE BRAND
WHITE WHEATS FAVORED AT
MEETING RECENTLY HELD
IN PULLMAN.

That the farmers Of the northwest
should specialize in the raising OF
white wheats was the general opinion
at the meeting of farmers, millers and
buyers at Pullman this week. accord
ing to W. w. Harrah who, with Carl
f Engdahl of Helix. has just re-
turned from the meeting. Few COM
munities in the world are adapted
to the successful raising OF white
wheats. 1t was pointed out, and they
are in big demand because of their
value in pastry cooking.
At the meeting It was also recon-
mended, Mr.. Harrah stated, that the
wheats Of the northwest be divided
into two or three general classifica-
tions instead of being called by va
riety names. This would enabh
wheat men in Chicago, Kansas or
other faraway points to easily under
stand what kind Of wheat is meant in
their transactions.
Reports made at the meeting also
indicated that the bulk method oil
handling grain IS finding general ia
vor. said Mr.. Harrah, even the mill
ers coming to grant that 1t saved
them money as we'll as the farmer.

today over the cabinet crisis. 1t had
been hoped to the very last that some
way would be found whereby Bryan
could retain his post, thus emphasiz-
ing to the world that whatever the
administrations policy it had the
united support of all factions in the
nation. Bryan's position was found,
however, to be irTeconcilable, and
the president finally decided that he
would have to allow him to quit
In allowing Bryan to step down and
out the administration was hopeful
that Germany would be impressed
with seriousness of Americas deter

to be hopeful that this would be the
way the thing would work out.

WILSON STANDS FIRM ON mo SURRENDER" OF
AMERICAN RIGHTS AS BRYAN RESIGNS

Although Bryan resigned because
he insisted that his conscience would
not permit him to sign a document
which he considered a virtual ultima
tum to Germany, the exact contents
OF that note are still withheld and will
be, it is expected, until it is in the
German foreign Offices hands. Should
Germany see the note in the light
Pres. Wilson and his advisors claimed
to have penned it, all will be well. If
it should meet with a curt rejection,
however, the president will be forced
to recall Ambassador Gerard and
break off diplomatic relations.
Although this would not be an act
of war, there is little doubt that it
would be a step that would certainly
involve the U. S. The president would
then be compelled to call congress
together in special session, facing
certainty that Bryan would lead fight
to have lawmakers substitute his ar
bitration plan for any measures of
hostility.
Some of his most intimate friends
declared that he would make an ap-
peal to the people to Zine up their
representatives in congress to defeat
any war resolution should that be
necessary.
Throughout tempestuous career as
a public man, Bryan has either made
strong friends or strong enemies by
decisive steps such as that of his
resignation Some of his former de-
voted trends were denouncing him to-
day as traitor for quitting his post
at the present time. Others COM
mended his course and said they be-
lieved it would meet with the coun-
try's approval when the present ex-
element dies down.
If Bryan goes on the stump to urge
the people to his side, these persons
held that the country must inevitably
divide into rival camps, breaking
