1t is not often that one lives beyond
the biblical allotment Of more dhah
three score and ten years without ever
eniovinr a birthday anniversary. 1e'
such has been the unusual experience
of Mrs. fame Adams Jessup, OF Aloioh'
who at the advanced age of n years
SUNDAY. celebrated the first anniVer-
sary of her birth.
II all came about because Mrs. Az
ans never knew the date OF her 'olrtn'
She was born Nov 4, 1889, in North
Carolina, burt when a child OF nef
parents died and all the family recoras
of her birth were lost. All thru her
life Mrs. Adams never knew her blrth
date. but a search that had been car
rlcd on by her daughters recently es-
,ablished the date. Then the celebra-
ton was planned.
For convenience 1t was held SUNDAY
at the home of Mrs. Adams daughter,
Mrs. John Kale, at Liscomb, and TO II
were invited the members OF ffteen
families of Albion. Liscomb. and near
by towns. She having been so long
without a birthday party 1t was quite
natural that her guests tried to make
up with many useful and handsome
gifts for so many unobserved birth
days.
Dinner was served by Mrs. Kale, as
sisted by Mrs George Hamlin, another
daughter. with whom Mrs. Adams, VINO
is a widow lives. The guests from
outside Of Liscomb were Mr.. and MIS-.
G. R. Hamlin, Mr. and Mrs. r. IF. Ham :

author.
To those who knew Mr.. Wing more
intimately here the story OF 'Old Forty
Dollars will nave a familiar ring. The
author has based his story on incidents
in his own life down at Elmwood, Ill,
a little town near "Pee-ory.' Wing told
mis- co-workers on the T.-R. OF cat
fight he and other boys held in barn
belonging to the father OF one OF the
promoters, and this story, true to life,
is included in the charming story Of boy
life the author has now given to the
public. Many Of the pranks OF Wing
and his friends long years ago are
worked into the tale. and it takes one
back to his own boyhood and the days
when Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry
Finn fourished.
MI Wing was led to write his latest
work from the guccess he had with his
THE Old Fotygraft Album" published
a few years ago. The new book Is from

Of the raw materials entering into the construc

maintained But now conditions In the industry
have reached point where the Studebaker is
For the past eighteen months there have
been rapid advances in the cost Of all raw ma
terals entering into the manufacture OF automo-
bies-especially on steel Of all kinds, pig iron,
castings, stampings, sheet metal, aluminium,
leather and upholstering materials. And these
advances range all the way from 4O9e to 1907.
Studebaker has always been satisfied with
small margin of proht-and you may rest as
sured that, even with substantial increase over
prevailing prices, both the FOUR and the
SIX will still be the most powerful seven-pas-
senger cars in the world at their prices. And
you will still have to pay from $500 to 5000
more to equal them in power roominess, econ
omy. beauty of design, and all-around depend
ability.
Our allotment Of Studebaker cars at
the present prices is very limited and
is likely to be exhausted at any tine. $3.50
So, if you want to save from SIS to

A WARNING

Information has come to the Fed
eral Farm Loan Board that in vari-
Gus parts of the country certain par
ties are soliciting subscriptions to
stock company organizations under
different names, claimed to be oper-
ated under the Federal Farm Loan
Act, and asking advance payment of
such subscriptions, especially from
farmers.
The members of the Federal Farm
Loan Board are now engaged in the
work of organizing, holding hear
ings in various cities for the pur-
pose Of securing information with
view of determining the boundaries
of - Federal Land Bank districts.
and the location of one land bank in
each district. Until these land banks
are established, no loans can be
made.
The representation by any person
that any organization is now offering
to make loans by authority of the
Farm Loan Board under the Federal
Farm Loan Act is false, and any at
tempt to collect money under such
representation is fraudulent and is
punishable by fine and Imprisonment
under section 81 of said act.
1t is desirable that farmers should
discuss among themselves the bene-
fits to be derived from the Federal
Farm Loan Act and to take prelimi-
nary steps for the organization of
National Farm Loan Associations as
soon as the Federal Land Banks have
been established, but no money
should now be paid in connection
Herewith to any person for stock or
expenses, no matter what the repre-
sentation may be.

'uN Oi SS publicity III seattle leading
newspapers. The three unsalaried
port commissioners originally select
ed by the people to administer port
affairs have each been reelected
without real contest at the polls.
The railroads which own much of
Seattle's water front, the private
docks, the commission brokers and
cold storage men and other oppon-
ents of municipal ownership and
home rule, are the interests to be
served by the reorganization of the
Port District. Reprimanded by the
people at the ballot box, the selfish
interests appealed to the secret COM
mlttee system OF the legislature at
Olympia to overthrow development
of public terminals.
"Thirty-five thousand signers of
the referendum petition urge their
fellow voters to kill the legislatures
high-handed, needless and meddle-
some measure, believing if allowed
TO become law that it will injure the
leading water gateway to the state:
Il. By arbitrarily reducing the
funds voted by the people for harbor
improvements.
-. By preventing the building of
a public belt railroad to lower ter
minal switching charges.
g. By forbidding, in the interest
OF private warehouse, dock and cold
storage owners, additional facilities
and public control for the benefit of
producers of grain, fruit lumber.
fish, etc
4. By multiplying the advantages
OF cheap waterborne freight to the
detriment of consumers of both CITY
and state, thus setting up private in
terest in opposition to general well
fare.
.. BY discouraging civic pride
and violating the principle of demo-
cratic home rule through imposing
the will of star-chamber committee
of politicians on 100000 people de-
sirous of settling their strictly local
problems at the ballot box.
20. BY preventing direct RESPONSE
bility to the people in the manage
ment of their public port facilities,
through the device of adding to the
present Port Commission four addi-
tional, needless, short-term officials
elected to other offices, already over
worked, untitled for the special serv-
ice required, and unable to devote
themselves to the single purpose of
port development.
u. By throwing a strictly non
nartisan service into the whirlpool
of city and county politics. BY add
ing the mayor, the prosecuting attor-
ney, county auditor and county en-
gineer, port patronage enters city
and county politics, to the injury of
comprehensive equipment for inter-
national and coastwise commerce."
In view of the facts set forth in
the above argument and because the
people of King county are the best
judges Of how they want the Port OF
Seattle developed and governed, the
people of eastern Washington should
vote against Referendum Measure
No. 8. BY so doing they may gain
much and can lose nothing.

Col. Roosevelt is bitterly attack
ing President Wilson's policy of
Safety First" and maintains that
he should stand for Duty First"
The first duty of a man is to protect
the safety and honor of his family
and the first duty of the governm
is to protect the safety and honor of
the nation. Duty therefore dictates
the adoption of the Safety First
policy.

REFERENDUM MEASURE No.

Referendum measure No. s is a
law passed by the last legislature,
but now referred to the people of the
whole state for approval or rejec-
ton. 1t is entitled
IAN act defining Port Districts of
the first class, relating to the gov
eminent and limiting the powers
thereof, making certain elective Of
ficers eX-officio port commissioners,
providing for the sale of Port Dis
trict property, and amending chap
ter 90 of the laws of 1911"
The object of the law is to place
the governm ent of the Port District
of Seattle in the hands of seven COM
missioners, of whom three shall be
elected by the voters of the district.
The other four members would be
county auditor, the county engineer,
the county prosecuting attorney and
the mayor of the largest seaport city
within the district. Under the pres
ent system the Port District is gov
erned by a commission of three,
elected by the voters of the district
and serving without pay.
At first glance it would seem that
the people of eastern Washington
could have but little interest in the
management of port district on
tide water, but this is not the case.
II is matter of very vital import
ance to the grain and fruit raisers of
the state, because if they are to en-
JOY the full benefit OF the Panama
canal and cheap ocean rates it is very
essential that the principal ports of
the state shall not be monopolized
by the railroads and private con-
Germs. How it affects the producers
OF the state is we'll sum marized in
the following argument prepared by
the joint legislative committee of the
Direct Legislative League, State Fed
Grafton of Labor. Farmers Union and
State Grange
This measure thwarts the efforts
OF the people of the Seattle Port Dis
trict king county, to develop pub
licly owned and operated harbor ter
minals for access to cheap water
transportation.
The people have bonded them
selves to provide a system of modem
port improvements to enable Seattle
to successfully compete with the
state-owned port of San Francisco
and the Dominion-owned port Of
Vancouver, B. C. The people of Cali
fornia since 1911 voted San Fran
cisco harbor s2O,0O0,o00 of state
bonds TO prepare for increased world
trade through the Panama canal.
Likewise the credit of all Canada is
aiding Vancouver with not less than
$4,000, 900. Seattle has received no
state funds or national aid whatever.
but is financing herself on the credit
OF King county alone.
Each step taken by the present
port authorities has been approved
In advance by vote of the people of
King county. The character of the
water front terminals, their location
on the bay. the cost of the land, and
structures, and their public opera
ton. have all been decided by over
Whelming majorities at successive
elections and in the face OF persistent
