cite grocer called together his staff,
which consisted Of a solitary assist

should enlist. Further. to the some

would go himself, being single

"Ye. Mackay, wull stay behind and
keep the business going"
Mackay, with tears in his eyes
warmly seconded. so in a short time
the deed was done.
Many months passed by. as the
story book says. and the ex-grocer
when going off trench duty received
the shock OF bis life, for did he not
see his assistant dressed In khaki
standing before him?
"Mackayl Great F1rkins. can that

the river is high in chlorides. the ef-

taste; however, this can be improved
bv diluting the river water with well
water in the proper proportion.
However, this will be necessary only
part of the time.
The city is now treating the river
water with chemicals and by coagu>
lation and sedmentation, the filter

Entirely Too Much Help.

Here is a little story that was re-
called by former Congressman George
C. Scott Of Iowa at dinner the other
evening when reference was made to
the occasional disadvantage of having
too much company.
One afternoon the teacher of a pub
lio school was instructing juvenile
class in mathematics, when she turned
to small boy named Jimmy.
Jimmy" said she. IF your father
can do piece of work in seven days
and your uncle can do the same work
in eight days. how long would 1t take
them to do 1t together ?"
Ten thousand years." was the
prompt response of little Jimmy.
"Ten thousand yearsw exclaimed
the teachsr with some irritation.
What do you mean, Jimmyf"
That's right, Miss Mary" insisted
the youngster. They would smoke
all day and swap fish stories. ."-Phila-

GOVERNOR OPPOSES
INITIATIVE NO. "a
SAYS VOTERS SHOULD REJECT
BREWERY MEASURE As WORSE
THAN LICENSED SALOONS.

Il hope and trust that when the
voters of Washington mark their bal
lots this fall, their consciences will
control their votes the same as two
years ago, and they Will vote against
Initiative Measure No. "a, which |
believe is worse than allowing Ii
censed saloons in the state" Cover
nor Lister said during the course of
an address at the union church serv-
ices at the Methodist church Sunday
evening, the last union meeting of
the summer.
"This kind of action, which has
abolished the saloons, is the kind
that will build up the citizenship of
the commonwealth and will make it
progressive state" he continued,
declaring that the voting of the sa-
looms out of business was one of the
best moves ever made for the ad-
vancement of desirable citizenship.
Comparison of the honor camp sys-
tenn of the past three years, of handl-
ing penitentiary inmates, with the old
punshments of the dungeon, turning
hose on prisoners, making them
wear stripes, and similar punish
ments, formed an interesting part of
the governors address. He closed
this feature of it by asserting the
honor camp system permits the con-
victs to do physical labor outdoors,
enables them to regain confidence in
themselves because they are outside
prison walls, and gives them chance
to make and save some money with
which to start out in the world again
when they are released, and "a man
has a lot better chance OF making
good in the world with $50 or more
between him and starvation, than
S." the governor said.
Another feature of the governors
address was a discussion of the mini
mum wage law for women, which he
said illustrated the desire of the citi-
zens of the state to establish a pro-
gressive and efficient commonwealth
here and likewise materially in
creased the efficiency of the help en-
ployed by merchants.

UNABLE
TO VISIT COAST
But NATIONAL COMMITTEE WILL
SEND PROMINENT SPEAKERS
TO TOUR STATE.

Definite word has been received by
John b. Fogarty, Democratic state
chairman, that President Woodrow
Wilson will not be able to come to
the coast this fall in behalf of his
candidacy. The decision came in the
form of letter from National Com
mitteeman Hugh C. Wallace, national
committeeman of the state.
In the same communication, how
ever, comes the announcement that
determined effort will be made by
the Democratic national committee to
carry the state of Washington for
Wilson. So many glowing and en-
thusiastic messages as to the big
Wilson sentiment in the state have
been sent to National Chairman
Vance Mccormick by Chairman Fo-
garty and Secretary Ryan that the
Eastern leaders have become con-
vinced that Washington this year is
debatable ground.
Among the speakers of national
fame who have already been selected
! to come to Washington are William
Jennings Bryan, former Governor
Martin Glynn of New York, who
made the keynote address at the ma
tional convention, Senators Ollie
James and James Hamilton Lewis.
In addition to these Democratic SPELL
binders the state committee conveys
the information that Francis J.
Heney, the noted California Progress
sive. will also make a number of
speeches in the state.
Secretary of the Interior Lane will
be prevented from carrying out his
proposed trip to the coast by his ap-
pointment on the Mexican commits
sion.
With former United States Senator
George Turner, Edgar c. Snyder for
mer Progressive state chairman, and
Thomas Lally, Democratic candidate
for lieutenant governor, making up a
trio now campaigning in Eastern
Washington, Chairman Fogarty will
shortly arrange for meetings on the
west side of the state at which Robert
Bridges candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the United States SEN
ate. and Otto A. Case, Progressive
candidate for governor in 1912, will
he the stellar attractions.

CASH FOR THE FARMER
BY HENRY +. HOLLIS

United New Hampshire and author
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1916-09-01

fills out an appraisal for each loan.
Brown forwards these to the land
bank. The land bank appraiser ex-
amines each farm and recommends
the loan. The mortgage papers are
then executed and forwarded to the
land bank.
The money is sent back to Brown
for distribution among the borrow
ers. Thereafter he collects and for
wards to the land bank installment
payments on each loan as they be-
come due. For this service he re-
ceiveS a small fee.
How He Pays Out.
Browns loan may run for any pc.
riOd from ) to 40 years. With each
payment of interest a certain fixed
percentage of the principal is paid.
If the interest rate is per cent, and
he pays in l per cent yearly on the
principal, the whole debt will be paid
out in SO years, and this clearing of
the mortgage will result from a total
payment each year of per cent of
the original loan, covering interest,
expenses and installments on princi-
pal.
Five per cent of Browns loan
comes to him in stock of his associa-
ton. If the enterprise makes earn
ings, Brown will get his share in divi-
dends on his stock. When his loan
is paid in full, he receives 100 per
cent on his stock in cash. 1t is a CO.
operative system.
We have projected Browns exper-
fence few months into the future.
but the plan is accurately outlined.
Brown looks forward to January LIST
with confidence and entire self-re-
spect. He will receive on his mort
gage so per cent of the value of his
land plus 20 per cent of the value of
his buildings. He will make repairs,
lay drains, and buy live stock, ma
chinery and fertilizer.
He will pay 1 per cent a year on
the principal. He may pay as much
faster as he pleases after five years
and thereby reduce his interest pay
ments in proportion.
A CO-Operative Plan.
Banks will see Brown no more,
hat in hand, lips aquiver, courage
oozing. Brown and his associates
have a charter which makes available
for them and their neighbors long
term money on easy payments and
at the lowest rates. This money is
theirs to borrow as right, and they
and other borrowing farmers control
the whole system. 1t is cooperative.
They own the shares. They receive
the profits.
And all this has been made avail
able to the American farmer through
the federal farm loan act, signed by
President Wilson July 18th last, and
known as the rural credits bill.
