.LOvEJOY MAY Be
TARGET FOR MEXICANS
Pullman Man Responds to Call for
Mobilization of National Guard
Troops and Will Lead Third
Battalion as Major

Closing his business affairs on a
few hours notice to respond to the
call of his country, Major George r.
Loyejoy left Monday for American
Lake, Washington, near Seattle, to
take charge of the Third Battalion of
infantry of the Washington National
Guards, which is being modified
there in response to the orders issued
late Sunday night to the governor of
every state in the Union. Major
Loyejoy came to Pullman from SpO-
kane about a year ago, entering in
to "A law partnership with Frank f..
Sanger. The orders to report for
duty at once came as somewhat Of a
surprise, but the Pullman man
showed distinct eagerness for the
fray and was out of Pullman on the
first train.
The orders for a general mobiliza-
ton of the National Guard of the
United States, 100000 strong, came
as a result of Carranzas demand for
the withdrawal from Mexican soil Of
the United States troops who are
chasing Villa and his gang. Presi-
dent Wilson shows no inclination to
heed the demands of the de facto
government until border brigandage
ceases, and the national guard will
be rushed to the border in anticipa-
ton of serious consequences. Wash
ington's contribution to the big
army of national guards will be one
regiment of infantry, one troop of
cavalry and one company OF signal
corps.

Organize County Commercial Club June 50

each town club in the county, mem
bership will be governed on a basis
of population, one delegate for each
500 or less of population, and an
additional member for each addi-
tional 1000. This arrangement gives
COlfaX and Pullman three delegates
each, Palouse and Tekoa two each,
and all the other towns in the county
one each. These delegates will be
elected by the comm ercial clubs of
each town, or, in the event that no
such organization exists, will be
named by civic authorities.
The plan of organization and
membership is an eminently fair one
to all towns concerned, and no COM
munity can complain of an unfair
advantage by any other. Under the
old system the town at which the
meeting was held could turn out a
big attendance and vote through any
measure 1t saw fit, with the visiting
delegations hopelessly in the minor
ity The new arrangement does away
with this evil, places the organiza-
ton on a business like basis and aug
urs well for united action in future
on the part of the different commune
tiles of Whitman county.

RAIN \ BOON TO CROPS

The copious rainfall of the early
week was big boon to growing
crops and farmers are more optimis-
tic concerning crop prospects than at
any time since the early spring. The
10 days OF extremely hot weather,
following the unusually late spring,
was ripening the fall grain prema-
turely, and the rainfall will assist
materially in filling out the heads
and giving a better stand of grain.
Everything considered, the crop will
be a fair one, although not up to the
standard of the past few years. The
acreage is much less than last year.

Eanus of n Snake.

Conversina With Ghosts

Some scientists of real eminence
have accepted the postulate of the In
dividuality and self consciousness of
the soul after the death Of the body
and have attempted to demonstrate
their belief by asserting communica-
ton with these disembodied spirits
Sir William Crookes, a profound delv-
er in chemistry pertaining to radio-ac-
dvity. asserted years ago that he had
communication with souls of dead
friends. but for several years he has
been silent anent this matter. Camille
Flammarion, a rather speculative and
sensational astronomer, declares that
he has seen and conversed with the
ghosts of dead friends. Professor
William James, brother Of Henry
James, the novelist, promised before
he died that If possible he would COM
municate with his friend Professor
Hyslop, both eminent psychologists,
but at last accounts the soul of Profes-
Scr James had not spoken.-Exchange.

Beauty In the mexican,s Voice.

with an occasional extreme rapidity of
utterance, In which they seem to skip
from consonant to consonant until,
lighting upon a broad open vowel, they
rest upon that to restore the balance
of sound. A common bullock driver
delivering a message seemed to speak
like an ambassador at an audience. In
fact, they sometimes appeared to me
to be a people on whom a curse had
fallen and stripped them Of every
thing but their pride, their manner and
their voices.-'Three Years Before the

Curious Golf Shot.

The late lord chief justice, Lord Al
verstone. being one of the judges at
the Birmingham assizes, in the inter
walls of business had several rounds of
golf on the Edgbaston links. On one
of these occasions he was playing with
the local professional and got rather
badly bunkered at the second hole.
1t was necessary, in order to get the
ball out, to make 1t rise almost per
pendicularly into the air, and for this
purpose Lord Alverstone, or Sir Rich
ard Webster, as he then was, took his
niblick and made a mighty stroke. No
conjurer on earth could have done q
trick more neatly. The ball not only
leaped into the air, but dropped as
clean as a whistle into the judges

Pantomime Performances.

Most pantomime characters were
originally borrowed from the Italians.
The first real English pantomime was
produced at a theater in Lincoln's Inn
Fields in 1720. 1t was called "Harle-
quin Executed" and its subtitle was
"a New Italian Comic Scene Between
a Scaramouche. Harlequin, a Coun-
try Farmer. His Wife and Others"
The performance was very successful.
About the middle of the eighteenth
century the character of pantomime
performances was completely altered.
chiefly because of the genius of the
famous Grimaldi. who made the clown
the first figure in the pantomime. Gri-
maldi first appeared at Sadler's Wells
theater. where he played the part Of a
monkey. He was actively engaged on
the stage for forty-nine years.

Using the Expression az Think"


A man was referred to as one who
in his conversation never says II think"
so and so. The think" is a mere ex-
pletive. A positive, clear headed man
says what he thinks without saying he
thinks. Besides, when person premises
with an 81 think" it weakens his as
sertion because thinking is by no means
an assurance of truth. If one should
say 81 think it viii rain tomorrow"
the very expression carries a doubt be-
cause mere opinion is a lame matter,
and the world Is chock full Of opinions.
If, however. he should say 1T will rain
tomorrow" it carries some assurance
even If it is, after all, an opinion. So
the man referred to In the first place
doesn't say 81 think" for it is entirely
superfiuous. and he adds force and
dignity to what he says in emitting it
entirely. And then when one looks at
the situation calmly he will conclude
that "think"is much under cloud since
very few people think exactly alike.
There are ten thousand instances Of
this character.-Ohio State Journal
