SUCCESSFUL ON OWN
FARM; TEACHES GIRLS
Miss Wright, Agriculturist at Grand
Mound School, Made Her Own
Ranch Pay.

Several years ago Miss Harriet
Wright was a teacher in the Tacoma
schools. Having always been in
clined toward farming, Miss Wright
bought rundown farm near Brew
ster, WASH, and soon had developed
it into farm which was commanding
the admiration of all who saw it.
Not only did Miss Wright attend to
the managerial duties of the farm
but she did much of the blowing and
actual labor. She was delegate for
the district at the organization of the
Northwest Fruit Growers council.
When Miss Mary Campbell took
charge of the new school at Grand
Mound, says the Puyallup Valley
Tribune, she looked about for some
one to run the 180-acre farm which
is connected with it, and having been
acquainted with Miss Wright in Ia
coma, had heard of her success. She
was chosen for the job, and the Tri-
bune goes on to say:
"The girls attending the school
took to the farm work like ducks
to water. Many of them come from
the cities and they found the life
close to nature was the moral medi-
cine they needed. Today the girls,
under Miss Wright's direction, are
successfully farming the entire acre
age under cultivation, and the school
practically is self-supporting. In
fact, they have supplied several of
the other state institutions with
farm produce. The young women
pillow and plant, till and reap; and
the sight of Miss Wright driving a
big pillow or harrow is familiar
one.
But the Grand Mound school has
no intention of getting in a rut.
When the announcement of the Far
mers' school at the Western Wash
ington experiment station was made,
Miss Wright was Immediately
granted leave of absence to attend,
and is now one of the most enthusi-
astic students of the --latest wrink-
les" in farming, as taught by the
station experts.

WHAT OUR FATHERS READ ABOUT
IN THIS PAPER FIFTY YEARS AGO

From the Washington Standard for
January 20, 1866. Vol. W., No. II.
Much credit is due to the ladies
of this place for their answering
zeal and enterprise in raising funds
for the purchase of hose for the fire
department.
We are compelled to yield nearly
all of our available space this week
to the presidents message, which we
deem to be of more interest to our
readers than anything we could pub
lish in its stead.
The beautiful steam cutter Lin
coin" has been detailed for service
and may be expected on Puget Sound
early in March. Captain White, for
many years in the revenue service,
commands her. Surgeon Gilman, of
the New Jersey Volunteers, is also on
her list of officers. The attention
of the government has been at last
awakened to the necessity of a naval
depot on Puget Sound, and an APP
preparation for that purpose will be
made. In view of the probability of
trouble with France. that measure
has become imperative and can no
longer be delayed.
The joint convention of the legis-
lative assembly for the election of
territorial officers for the ensuing
year resulted as follows: Auditor, ].
M. Murphy; treasurer, Benjamin Har-
nard; librarian, s. N. Woodruff;
adjutant general, A. G. Trip; COM

terpaster general, ]. M. Murphy.

After having made what is now
acknowledged generally to have been
a highly successful showing of Wash
ington resources at the San Francis
co and San Diego expositions, the
state exposition commission is closing
up its business.
The commission will return ap-
proximately $4,000 Of it's appropria-
ton of 100000 and in addition will
turn into the state treasury some
thousands more, gained from salvage
upon the building, sale Of furniture,

The acknowledgement.
(Goldendale Sentinel.)

Not SO very long ago, when the
government stepped into the fight be-
tween the mail order house and the
rural merchant, and organized the
rural free delivery system and the
parcel post, many good merchant
threw up his hands and calmly ex-
pired-in business way. But the
wise man, the man who used his
head, began to figure what he could
get out of the parcel post and the
free delivery that would give him a
chance to compete with the mail
order house. Like all great inspira-
lions, the answer was simple: do
as the mail-order man does" Get q
mailing list and 60 after the bust
ness. And the "manontheground"
got busy. In the first place he had
his local paper, which circulated
throughout his territory each week,
or daily in some cases. He adver-
tised with catchy specials, and got
people to write in for them, sending
them out by parcel post. He got a
list of every buyer in his territory,
went to the newspaper Office and got
some attractive circulars printed.
and circularized his names. After a
while he had a complete mail-order
list of satisfied customers. People
found they could get goods right at
home, practically, for the same
money they could buy them for in
the large cities, and goods came
quicker. There are no waits, no
broken packages nor missing articles.
In fact the acknowledgement" proved
to them that he had a mail-Order
house right at their doors that could
deliver the goods as cheaply and
quicker than the catalogue houses.
And the acknowledgement" got the
business. The lesson in this little
fable is quite plain to every mer-
chant who reads it. The enormous
business of the catalogue houses has
been built on advertising, business
methods, hustle and stick-to-itive-
ness. With every advantage on his
side he can hold up and increase his
business. All the acknowledgement"
has to do is to be "Johnny-on-the-
spot"

COLD PREVENTS L0GG|nG
Weather and Snow Forces
Camps to Shut Down.

Heavy falls Of snow and unusually
cold weather have put-Na stop to .
large part Of the lumber operations
Of the Pacific Northwest during the
past two weeks. Many Of the mills
have not reopened since the holiday
shutdown because Of the severe
weather. and the logging camps are
practically at standstill. Manu-
facturers do not consider the situa-
ton as serious. except for the scarcity
of logs, as they argue that curtail-
ment of production is what is chiefly
needed to keep the market firm at
this time.
The logging situation is rapidly
becoming serious, however, accord
ing to reports from the principal
lumber centers. In the Grays Har-
Dor country several mills are reported
to be on the verge Of closing down
because of the shortage of logs. The
camps are snowbound and logging
operations are carried on only with
great difficulty. A number Of camps
which were scheduled to reopen early
in January have deferred operations
until weather conditions are more
favorable.

KING PETER AND sERvIAN OFFICERS.
It was he who had put new courage in
his soldiers when they We're retiring
before the dense masses Austria had
poured across the Danube and the
Save. He had to be carried to Lazare-

army, where he went into the trench
Of the Second regiment, the famous
"Iron Regiment" helping himself along
with stick. There he exchanged the
stick for q rifle and said to his sol.
diers: my children. know you are
very tired. You have fought like he
roes. But our country is In danger.
He who can resist no longer can go
home again without fear Of being pun
ished. But the country is In danger.
and have come here. with you to die
for our country. Let those remain who

ADVENTURES OF
OLD KING PETER
Brave Monarch Insisted on
Sharing Army's Dangers.

"HE valiant old king. Peter of
Servia, has found warm well
come in Greece, where he has
arrived after many adventures.
Some of them are described by Signor
Fraccaroti, the correspondent of
Milan paper. who says:
King Peter was i'll even before the
war. It is because of his illness that
the supreme command Of the opera
lions had to be intrusted to his son
Alexander, the heir to the throne. The
king was undergoing medical treat
ment ut Topola. AS soon as he felt
convinced that Bulgaria would attack
Servia the old king. i'll as he was, de-
clared his intention to proceed i'm.
mediately for the frontier against the
Bulgars. His physician opposed him
and forbade him to go.
The king resisted at first; then he
seemed resigned VERY WELL" he an
swered the doctor. Two days later he
left without telling the doctor. He ar
rived in Nish in motorcar and went
to find Pasitch in his bare study Of the
palace and ask him permission to visit
the front. Pasitch was amazed to see
the king so i'll and anxious, with eyes
like burning Goals, the face thin and
drawn. And the question astonished
him. Why should the king ask for
permit? 81 am a soldier" explained
King Peter. "There Is a voivode in
command Of our armies; hence must
ask for permission" They telephoned
to Kraguyevatz. Putnik was still in
Kraguyevatz then. The doctor was
also summoned. The voivode begged
the king, the doctor commanded him.

Perhaps the old king was hoping

COOPERATION MAKES
MARKETING EASIER
THIS Is CONCLUSION REACHED
AFTER INVESTIGATION BY
FEDERAL BUREAU,

The advantages of cooperation in
the marketing of farm products are
emphasized in the annual report of
the office of markets and rural or
ganization of the federal department
of agriculture, which has just been
published.
"The conclusion seems warranted"
in the judgment of this department,
that in communities where cooper
alton is practically applied to the
farmers business, the results OBJ
tanned are far more satisfactory than
those secured by individual methods. 4"
1t is estimated that farmers CO.
operative marketing and purchasing
organizations will transact this year
a total business amounting to more
than $1,400,OOO,0O0. Agricultural
cooperation in the United States is,
therefore, far more prevalent than is
generally believed, the report points
out, but it is not yet upon a suffi-
GENTLY strong business basis. For
this reason the Office of markets has
studied the various methods en-
ployed by these associations and has
worked to devise means by which
these methods can be perfected. The
studies also have included the pre-
vailing methods of marketing perish
able products-cotton, grain, cotton
seed, live stock, and animal products.
Study City Markets.
Studies have also been made of city
markets in order to secure in this
way information which may open up
outlets for farm products. In this
connection the report calls attention
to the experimental work in distrib-
utmg timely market information con-
corning perishable products. An
effort has been made to keep pro-
ducers informed of arrivals and con-
ditions in the large markets and, on
the other hand, to keep dealers in
formed of shipments from the impor-
tant producing sections. Strawber-
ries, peaches, tomatoes, and canta-
loupes were the crops covered in this
way during the past season.
There is evidence, says the report,
that as a result of this service. dis
