HANS MUMM
Popular and Efficient County
Engineer.

The popularity of Mr. Mumm as a
county official is a matter of general
knowledge throughout the county, evil
denced in the fact that citizens are
always loath to part from him when
his term of office expires, and there
fore they manage to retain him. He
is an exemplary official, understands
his engineering labors to perfection,
and has given that satisfaction to the
public which naturally inspires conf
dence in him and the labors he per-
forms. Mr. Mumm owes no allegiance
to party or clique-he is of the peo-
pie. The ranks of labor, as we'll as
those of business and professional
life, have given their award of opin-
ion by voting for him on all occasions
when his name is presented for their
suffrage

JOHN E.. BOYLE
Treasurer of Snohomish County.

Treasurer Boyle is custodian of the
county's funds, and as such has filled
the responsibilities of his office with
credit to himself and the large number
who subscribed their names as testi-
mony of his worth by voting for him
at the election. Treasurer Boyle has
enjoyed the esteem and confidence of
the citizens of the county to a rare
degree. He was just the man for the
place evidenced by the smoothly run
ming condition of affairs of his office,
besides the genuine feeling which
exists throughout the county that he
makes a capable official and can be
safely entrusted to carry out all the
provisions of his office

MRS. LIZZIE JONES

County Superintendent of Schools.
Public school matters are in a large
sense of the word, promoted through
the activities of women-maybe not
preferably so, but with the idea that
youths and maidens who attend pub
lie school are better understood by
women than men, and therefore their
schooling and training is advanced
through the interest taken in the head
of the department For this reason
if none other-it is graciously sub
mitted that Mrs. Lizzie Jones, the
county superintendent of schools, has
made about the best head of the
schools that Snohomish county ever
possessed. She has been diligent in
all her labors, and has never left
anything undone to improve the moral
and advance the standing of the large
number of schools under her superin-
tendency. Many improvements have
been made in the school system of the
county under her administration. and
as her popularity continues to grow
with each recurring period of public
school activities she certainly has
made success of her administrative
efforts

Commissioner of Public Works of the
City of Everett.
Identified with labor and its cause
during his years of residence in Ev-
erett, it was only fitting and proper
that when the name of Mr.. j. M. Sal
ter was presented to the people for
suffrage he would meet with cordial
support from all classes of society,
and in particular with the ranks of
labor and all those who knew that he
possessed the ability and necessary
qualifications for official life. Com
missioner Salter is the head of that
important department of the city's
affairs embracing the public works,
and during his short incumbency Of
office he has more than pleased those
who lent their efforts toward placing
him in office. He has made a good
official and the promise is held out by
the manner in which he has conducted
his department that he will be more
than ordinarily successful in pleasing
the people Mr.. Salter is secretary
treasurer of the International Teach
ers' union; and, coming from the
ranks of toll, has made a study of the
many problems connected with Ia
boris cause-which is of the people
and is reflective of that large class
of citizenship who do not seek office
for its emuluments, but rather for
the good they can accomplish in the
performance of public duties.

JUDGE of the Superior Court.

Judge OF the superior Sourt'

fact that all his decisions have been
founded on reason and fact, and that

He is equipped by reason of thorough
knowledge of law and its many techni-
calities to arrive at what is consider

dence Of all classes of society. He is
a man of family, resides in Everett,

Alien Officers On Ships.

! For more than a hundred years it hac
been unlawful to officer American ships
with other than American citizens, unit
the emergency act OF last August at the
outbreak of the European war Then
because of a fear that enough American
sea officers Were not available for the
| foreign built ships which the same act
admitted to American registry, Presi'
dent Wilson was empowered to allow the
alien officers of such ships to be retained
for seven years.
Events apparently have demonstrated
that this waving of an ancient law was
unnecessary, at least in transatlantic
commerce. American sea officers are now
demanding a return to the former prac-
tice, and in their memorial to President
Wilson they say that "Since the out
break of the war practically all ships
flying our flag, whether originally or re-
Gently admitted TO American registry,

ropean trade, have been fully Offered
by duly licensed American citizens.
which completely refutes the claim set
up last August by the American regis
try seeking owners that such competent
and experienced officers we're not avail
able"
II was quickly determined that a sus-
pension of the old law would not re-
duee the operating expense OF Amerl-
can steamers. for alien officers immedi-
ately demanded and received the Amer
lean wage scale. Moreover. the bellioer-
ent governments of Europe objected to
the presence of aliens in command OF
American ships and of enemy subjects
among their seamen. Therefore. ship
owners who wished to save the cost OF
long delay and litigation FASTENED to
displace foreigners wherever profitable
by Americans This was not the case
in the West Indian and South American
trade, where alien officers and seamen
have been retained in many ships Of
new American registry.
Such an experience is an important
warning to the lawmakers of the United
states Theoretically there may be no
rea son why shipowners should not have
the same privilege to employ alien oil
,crs on American ships which manufac-
lures possess TO employ aliens as super |
or foremen in their factories. !

or double wheel. These invaluable i'm
plements can, under skillful handling, do
almost everything in garden except
talk. With the seed drill one may plant
in drills, cultivate, hoe, plough, or rake;
but, like all other tools, it requires care,
and should be kept cleaned and oiled to
accomplish the best work. A wheelbar-
row is also indispensable, and must be a
good one, with removable sides, and
painted. Finally, there is the sprayer.
which kind depends upon the size Of
the garden, the number of fruit trees,
canes, etc. For a medum-size place
where there are dwarf trees, KNAPP
sack sprayer will answer the purpose, but
a barrel sprayer on wheels, with an air
pressure, will in the long run prove to be
well worth tile price.

USE OF OATS AND PEAS FOR HAY.
Catch These Are the Crops
To Try,

Every once in while it happens that
a field that has been sown down to tim
othy and clover or other grass that ia
wanted for hay fails to make catch.
/ The question is then what annual hay
crop can be sown in the spring to re-
place the crop that is lost. In any case
miIlet is satisfactory crop for this pur-
pose. If the hay is desired for milk cows,
much better quality of hay. They also
have the same faculty as clover for en-
riching the soil, which is also very desir-
able, says Stock, Farm and Home.
During the last nine years on the dem
onstration farms of North Dakota there
have been raised in all 364 acres of oats
and peas. During this period eight acres
OF this total was threshed and 7S.S bush
els OF shelled peas were obtained, or an
average of as bushels per acre, and 90
acres Welded $751; bushels of oats. or
an average of 1912 bushels per acre.
Thirty-siy acres of the total amount
were failure, particularly during the
year 1910, which was one of the dryest
years in the history of the state. From
the $3.50 acres, OF which 80 acres were a
failure. 1914 tons of excellent hay were
obtained or an average of 3.056 pounds
OF hay an acre. This is yield of a
little more than one and one-hslf tons
per acre.
Oats and peas on the average viii yield
about as much hay as what millet would
Yield but the hay is of a far superior
quality for feed. as il contains a good
deal of protein. which helps to make the
lean meat and milk which is so desir-
able when fed to dairy stock. The great
objection to growing oats and peas is
the high cost of the pea seed. Peas aver
age about 50 per bushel. This may be
overcome TO some extent by farmers
growing their own seed.
Land that is to be put into oats and
peas may be either fall plowed or spring
plowed early. and the oats and peas
should he sown as early as possible on
this blowing. Oats should be sown az
the rate Of one half bushel an acre and
the peas al one and one-fourth To one

MAKE FORMAL REQUEST.
Burlington Grade Teachers Want More
Pay.

Burlington, April 2s.-That an active
step has been taken by the grade teach
ers in the public schools of Burlington
for an increase in their salaries was
made manifest at a special meeting OF
the board of school commissioners, held
at the high school building last evening,
when about fifty of the grade teachers
appeared before the board and presented
a petition signed by 20 OF their num-
ber which asks for an increase OF sal
airy. That the increase is deserved seem
to be the concensus of opinions OF the
board, the members of which seemed
willing to pay the teachers larger
salary if the money were available. The
appropriation of the school board has
been used up to the limit as was brought
out in the statement of facts of the case
by Superintendent Chittenden. A. 6.
Whittemore presented the cause of the
teachers, and remarks were made by
members OF the board and serveral of
the teachers present
Superintendent Chittenden in his re-
marks stated that the board was not
able to give the desired raise in salary
on account of lack of money at the dis
posal of the board. He read section %
OF the city charter which states that
the sum annually assessed by the city
council to meet the appropriation for
the use of the schools shall not exceed
the amount which would be raised by a
tax Of fifty cents upon the dollar of the
grand list. except when larger sum
shall be authorized by the legal voters
of the city. This amount has been used
up to margin of about 5000.
