Washington the "RainbOw" State.

all over the state, and which is ad-
mittedly the king of fish in point OF

beauty, endurance and speed. A much
less appropriate name could be
chosen, for as the rainbow trout
takes second place for no fish. the
state of washington takes second
place for no state in the mat
ter of natural resources, the in
dependence, progressiveness and en-
ergy of it's citizens. We think the
name most appropriate, and when
asked by the visitor why it is called

be given, because it is above all, re-
fecting it's beauty and resources
where all can enjoy them, the king of
states, as the rainbow trout is the
king of fish,"

Why Taxes Are Not Low.
(Elma Chronicle.)

The other day in Montesano GER
tain prominent man in this county
appeared before the county board of
tax equalization and deprecated in
strong terms the fact that taxes are
high in this county. A few days later
he appeared before the county COM
missioners and urged the expediency
of building two additional county
roads in his part of the county.
Everyone, everywhere, wants low
taxes, and they argue the whole year
through for lower rates. Also almost
everyone has some plan for a public
improvement which they are always
urging on the commissioners. In
every locality people are clamoring
for bridges, and in the next breath
letting up wall on account Of the
tax rate. The county officials find Il
impossible to reconcile the two de-
mands.

Business Improving

with trade balance in the first
year OF war of one billion dollars. and
probable balance in the second year
OF nearly two billions, bankers of
this country see only room for optim
ism in the outlook, and suggest that
these favorable balances will ulti-
mately affect every branch of Amer
lean industrial and commercial life.
Expressions from one thousand East
ern bankers disclose an optimistic
view of general commercial, indus
trial and financial conditions. 1t is
evident that the elements of prosper
ity have grown to such proportions as
to make further delay of general
prosperity impossible. Besides our
huge balance of trade, which is accu-
mulating a great store of gold, the
reserve banks are gathering great
balances for public use. The rail-
roads, with enormous crop tonnage
and better treatment from the inter-
state commerce commission, are con-
tributing to good times by the en-
ployment of labor and the extension
and repair of their lines. There is a
better feeling from top to bottom in
American financial, business and in
dustrial life. The banking interests
are not given to rosy hope in situa-
ton that possesses any element of
doubt. For the past three years lead
ing bankers have successfully con-
cealed any liberal show of optimism,
if they possessed it. The expression
of Eastern bankers at the present
time is therefore the more depend
able and an assurance that the imme-
date future has promise of better
ment in every department of Ameri-
can business life.

20. 900 POUNDS OF MINERALS
OFFERED TO HIGH SCHOOLS
University Prepares Collections Con-
tanning 115 Washington
Products.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Sept. 10. - Forty accredited high
schools in Washington are to be en-
riched this fall with collections of
mineral and manufactured products
of the state. The exhibits, carefully
numbered and explained in an ac-
companying catalogue. are being pre-
pared in the college of mines for the
extension division, which is distrib-
uting them and they are expected to
prove of great value to classes in
geology and photography. When the
40 schools which have applied for
the specimens have been supplied,
40 exhibits will still be left on
hand for others which may ask for
them.
Each collection will contain 100
natural and Is manufactured speci-
mems, of astonishing diversity of
character. Ores bearing gold, silver
and other precious metals will keep
company with epsomite, from which
epson salts are made; tale, from
which talcum powder is derived; thu
lite. a beautiful pink and green rock
harder than marble and quite as at
tractive for interior finishing; not to
mention such humble things as gla-
cial pebbles, sand and clay.
The exhibits are decidedly in
structive as to the resources of the
state, for everything included, wheth-
err manufactured or natural, is native
to Washington. The faculty of the
college of mines believes they will do
much to stir pride in the hearts of
the states school children.

Plan YOur Work.
, mt, Vernon Herald.)

In developing a proper rural life
something more than mere living
two things are essential, fair de-
gree of prosperity from a financial
standpoint, and a reasonable amount
of time away from the cares and re-
sponsibilities of the farm. On farm
that is properly organized it is not
necessary that the owner should COM
bine the staying qualities of a dog
and the strength of horse, nor that
his wife should be sort of Amazon
in order to stand the strain. Under
such conditions these qualities are en-
tirely unnecessary, and, where the
thought and attention to which its
importance entities it has been given
the home, there is no reason why
woman with average strength should
not be able to look after the duties OF
her household and have time left for
reading and recreation. The man.
too. need not bone down to ceaseless
foil because, if his work is properly
planned and executed, he should nave
abundant time for rest aud pleasure,
especially in midsummer and winter
It all depends upon how one plans
and works. If one has acquired the
pesky habit of procrastination-of
continually putting off work that
should be done-eventually there Will
be an accumulation of labor that VIII
keen one on the treadmill about all
the time and leave entirely undone
inst the things that are the prime
essentials to the success of the bust
ness.

They Really support Wilson.
Davenport Tribune

Queer, isn't it, that the leaders of
the Republican party, when talking
of possible war, talk all around Pres
ident Wilson's policy and come back
in the end and indorse it. 1--WE don't
want war;" they say, Neither are we
for peace at any price" Much as
they hate to do it, they approve Pres
ident Wilson's policy, not in so many
words, but they tell what they would
do, were they doing it, which is just
what Mr.. Wilson, with the assistance
of his able secretary of state, Lam
sing, is already doing in his quiet, but
effective way.

PAPER Clothes the Latest

In this age of paper and sanitation
did it ever occur to you how very de-
sirable paper underclothing might
prove? The suggestion now comes
as the latest idea of sanitation eX-
perts for the Congress of aSnitation.
At the congress. after dwelling up
on the subject of paper cups and
plates. napkins and tablecloths. n
noted hygienist astoniShed the assem-
bly, by suggesting that paper under
clothing be used as further step IN
sanitation. as it could be destroyed
after once using. and would not be
much more expensive than ordinary
cotton underwear at present laundry
rates.
Paper yarn is something ned, but is
being heard from in several textile
lines. 1t is even being made to with
stand laundering, and is almost a>
strong as ordinary textiles made to
withstand Tubing.
A cheap grade of paper yarn would
be suitable for paper undercloth!nS,
this expert explained, us 1t could then
be thrown away after using without

DECLINE OF CLUB LIFE.
Due in Measure to Popularity of the
Restaurant.

When the first few clubs were estab-
lished they were the embodient of new
ideas, and they stamped out all COM
petition. Restaurants in those days
were not smart" and it was not the
custom to take ladies to dine in them.
The clubs appropriated most of the
great cooks of the day-Ude left Buck
ingam Palace to go to the Coventry

full one. That a club man could Sit
down amid comfortable surroundings
and eat a well-cooked dinner for rs.
Cd. or 3s. Cd. was pleasurable sur
prise to men who we're used to go
to the steaming chop-houses if they
wanted a sheap meal served quickly.
Each club had it's library, and all
the new books of the day were placed
in some convenient room for the
members to read Men got a better
rubber of whist at their club than
they got elsewhere; that bogey gout
had not frightened half the male
world into drinking whiskey and min
eral waters, or poor thin white wines,
and the men of a club were proud
of its cellar and talked of its bins OF
vintage port
And, perhaps the most important OF
all, to belong to club in those days
was to be of the monde elegant. Men
felt that they must live up to the
standard of their club and there were
rows of shining silk hats on the pegs
in the club halls, not the "bowlers"
and dusty antiquities which are now
hung up In those days men were not
in such hurry as they are now, and
if the hall porter was lordly and
sedate person, of the butler and wine
steward were so conscious OF theiI

move at professional pace, the mem,
