pathy and interest which he has
manifested for them.
He is a specialist in developing
manhood as we'll as in turning out
winning basket ball and track teams
It was not strange therefore that
when it was announced that Mr..
Boiler had been elected to the posi-
ton of director of physical education
at the Oregon Agricultural College
and would probably accept storm
of protest arose from the students,
faculty and alumni of w. S. c. as
well as from the people of Pullman.
He is too valuable a man to lose"
was the unanimous verdict. Presi-
dent Holland and the regents of the
college are to be congratulated upon
taking prompt action, which has re-
suited in inducing him to continue
his work here. The general and gen
uine rejoicing with which the an
nouncement of his decision was re-
ceived should be very gratifying to
Mr.. Boiler for it is an impressive
proof of the high appreciation of his
work and influence as we'll as of the
affectionate esteem in which he is
held in this community.

WHAT Is OUR PURE
SEED LAW FOR?

Does it protect the farmer?
If farmer buys grass seed having
card labelling it 1886 per cent
pure and SO per cent termination,
and after year finds his farm ruin
ed with lot of noxious weeds, has
he any recourse? If So who would
be responsible?
[ do not claim to have examined
the law but l had some of the seed
representing the above figures ex-
amined for purity and termination,
but according to the report the pur-
ity dropped to about 90 per cent and
the actual termination to S2.77 per
cent.
The termination shows very low
in comparison to the card in the seed
at the store, but that is a small mat
ter compared to the noxious weed
seed.
One test of alsike made at w. S
C. shows over 1000 sorrel seed to the
pound of seed.
How many pounds Of such seed dc
you wish sowed to the acre on your
farm?
There are some things worse than
wildcat hay. Watch out for it.

OBVIATE THE GRADE CROSSINGS

1t is just now proposed to pave
the street leading toward Moscow
from the new concrete bridge to the
oil tanks. The greater part of the
cost OF this Improvement would fail
on the railways. A better plan would
cost little more and would practic-
ally eliminate the grade crossings.
For years everybody has realized the
danger of these grade crossings. The
travellers on that road cross five
tracks. When the last switch was
put in the farmers from that section
protested vigorously but the council
had gone too far to recede.
Now is the chance to provide
safety first and at little greater cost.
For years yiaduct over the tracks
to connect that part of Main street
with its continuance at the lower end
of College Park has been discussed.
Let that yladuct be built and the
county road be brought along the
hillside from the high point just
east of the n. p. tracks above the oil
tanks to connect with this yiaduct
and then directly into Main street
without a grade crossing. This
would cost the railways no more thar
paving and would be better for them
The county would probably join il
bearing the cost. A strong wooder
yiaduct is inexpensive and there ar,
hundreds of them in use Throughout
the state.

\ VALUABLE MAN

\ successful coach and director Of
athletics who is also a self-respecting
gentleman and a fine example OF
Christian manhood, is a rather rare
combination, of great value to any
educational institution. Such a man
is John T. Boiler physical and ath-
ietic director at w. S. C. His posi-
ton gives him great influence with
the student body and he has used
that influence to stimulate right
thinking and square dealing. BY ex-
ample as Well as by preeept he has
taught the Importance OF morality
and clean conduct in every day life
as we'll as in sports. While deeply
interested in his work he has never
oyer-emphasized the Importance OF
athletics, nor encouraged candidates
for athletic honors to neglect the
more serious duties of their college
life. A splendid athlete himself, he
has won the admiration of his pupils
by his physical proves, and has
gained their confidence by The SYM

EVERY DAY \ "CLEAN-UP DAY.

Most of the towns of our state will
soon be taking up the question of a
Cleanup Day" This is a good
thing They certainly need it, but
why Cleanup Day?
Most, if not all. Of us remember
how, when we were children, an an
nual house cleaning day was the
practice. We find. however, that
the annual house cleaning day has
become obsolete. 1t is not good
form" 90 have an annual house
cleaning day any more, because our
housewives have found it a more
economic and better policy to keep
the house. clean all the time rather
than make a great spIurge once a
year and let the house go with a
lick and promise the balance of
the year.
We expect our homes to be kept
clean at All times, and, as men. we
would feel that our wives were not
giving us Square deal If our
homes were only CLEANED once a
year. The cleaning of yards, streets
and alleys is a duty of the men just
as much as Keeping the house clean
is a duty of the housewife, and our
wives and daughters have fully as
just a foundation for complaint when
we fail to keep our property clean
as we have when they fail to keep
our homes clean.
The daily cleaning of yards,
streets and alleys is just as much of
an economic proposition as is the
daily cleaning of the house It is a
labor saving, money saving, time
saving operation. A clean town is
business proposition in that it
1. Tends to improve the health
of the community.
2. Instills into the minds of our
children, by example, the idea Of
cleanliness.
3. 1t reduces fire risks
4. A clean town attracts people
looking for business investments.
3. And the best business propo-
sition of all, it attracts home seekers
and home seekers make the best in.
yestors because they become perma.
nent investors, and permanent in
Vestors make business for the town
Start a cleaning up day in your
town and designate every day in the
year as cleanup day. You viii
have to pay a certain amount O.
| money per load to remove your rub
bish on Cleanup Day" If you have
but one Cleanup Day" per year
you will pay just as much in thai
one day as you would have to pay il
small installments if this rubbish
were hauled away every day durins
the year.--Board of Health Bulletin

"MANANA"

"Manana" is a word often heard
in Mexico. Its equivalent in Eng
lish is Tomorrow or Before
long" 1t stands for representation
for the putting off of something
which ought to be done. Too many
country voters, when urged to reg
lister, are giving the answer of the
INDECENT MeXicans "Manana."
They should remember that in
Putting it off will not lessen the
trouble involved. In fact that
trouble will be increased if they de
lay registering till after the rush OF
spring work begins. For when that
is finished, haying is close at hand
and the harvest work follows with
little intermission The best time to
register is today, while you think of
ii and can spare the time.
If the legislature had passed a
law taking the franchise away from
voters in country precincts, the farm
ers almost to a man would have been
ready to resort to violence in defense
OF their rights. Probably none of
vote. They mean to register, but
don't want to take the time and
trouble to do it Just now. Election
day seems a long way off and it is
SO easy to say "Manana' and then
To forget all about it, until too late.
A little study of conditions makes
it easy to understand why the prac-
teal politicians desire a light country
vote in the coming campaign. The
strongest and most consistent sup
port OF statewide prohibition, OF the
primary plan Of nominations, and of
the initiative and referendum system
has come from the agricultural
counties. The majority OF the voters
in the big cities of the state have
been openly hostile to or luke warm
in their advocacy of these reforms
A bill has already been initiated
and will be submitted TO the voters
aimed to wipe out prohibition. II
is known as the Hotel Liquor law,
and provides that intoxicants may be
sold in hotels OF 20 or more rooms
The last legislature passed a bill
which provides that initiative an,
referendum petitions can be sign {
only at the registration office in epcl
precinct and in the presence Of ttt
registration officer This woull
make it extremely difficult to secur,
the signatures of farmers to petition
and would greatly hamper the US,

TEN. Enough signatures were sc
cured to petitions to refer this Law
to vote Of the people and it vii
appear on the ballot for ratification
or rejection.
A vigorous attack was made !.
the last campaign on the system O
nominating candidates at primar
elections and this attack will doubt
