the county commissioners to install
metal signs at all the important road
crossings in Whitman county, will be
| Investigated by committee from the
Pullman Chamber of Commerce. with
"A view to taking advantage of the
offer in case arrangem ents to that
effect can be made, The tire com
panE according to County Engineer
}. NJ. McCaw, who addressed the
chamber at its noon luncheon Tues
day, offers to provide enough metal
signs to cover the entire county pro
ylded they are put in place by the
county commissioners or other in
terested persons or organizations. At
the time the offer was made to the
commissioners that body was too
busy with more weighty matters to
give ii consideration. and the local
chamber will exert its efforts either
to have the commissioners accent the
offer and provide signs for the entire
county or attempt to get the same of
Ter for this part OF the county alone
and place the signs itself. The map
OF sign posts prepared by the Good
rich company includes l75 signs for

tenn Of directions, which would prove
OF great value to tourists
The committee appointed by the
local chamber to investigate the Of
fer includes Prof. O. l.. Waller, Or.

Hughey.
Engineer McCaw gave an interest
ing talk on the county road situation,
explaining that while only 21.7 miles
Of permanent highway were con
structed in the county in the four or
five years previous to 1914, 30 miles
have already been laid out by the
county for this year. Twelve miles
is being constructed from La Crosse
east to Dusty, miles between Pull
man and Colfax and approximately
five miles across Union Flat at
Evansville. A l4-mile stretch from
Lacrosse to Hopper has been asked
for and Tekoa has petitioned for a
permanent highway north up Tekoa
creek to the Spokane county line
A total of $4,000 of the countys
permanent highway money has al
ready been used in contracts already
signed and $4,000 is yet available.
For repairs on the present highways
$21 900 is available, Repairs on
some of the old roads are badly need
ed, according to the engineer, and
this sum will probably all be used.

MOCK SALE BRINGS
MANY TO PULLMAN
FARMERS Show Keen Interest in
Activities OF State College Animal
uusbandry Students-Parade
IA Feature

hundreds OF farmers were attract
ID m Pullman last Saturday by the
second annual show and mock sale
81 tbe Saddle and Sirloin club of the
ctata College, when 90 head of the
college live stock were sold under
the hammer by II. G. Cranke of Spo-
tane to the students of the animal
busbandry division. The fictitious
Gales amounted to a total of SIS ,435,
or within a few hundred dollars of
the true value of the animals offered,
which proved the great value of the
annual sales from the standpoint of
the students themselves.
Several farmers were disappoint-
ed in not being able to witness the
big parade, which was held at 100
after having been advertised for 200
o'clock by the Chamber of Com
MERGE but the hundreds who lined
the streets when the long parade of
blue-blooded stock passed had their
eyes opened to the fact that the
State College owns some of the best
live stock to be had. The thorough
bred stations owned by Nat Bryant
and Chas. Stirewalt were included in
the parade and proved that the farm
ers of Pullman are awake to the
fact that the best of horseflesh is a
requisite to successful farming.
Tommy Kayler with his infant
sheep, which drank copiously from a
nursing bottle, was a feature of the
parade. Fat Herreid, of w. S. c..
football fame, came to the conclu-
sion that line bucking is "a simple
matter compared to driving a goose
when the college gander refused to
listen to his pleadings and threats
and baked stubbornly.
The condition OF the animals as
well as the accurate knowledge of
their value shown by the students
was proof of the care given the stock
for the last month Clarence b.
HOrral, assigned Colony Winsome,
the Clydesdale mare who brought
the record amount of $3.50, re-
ceiyed the silver cup for the best
groomed animal. John Poison, with
Wlllomore la, an Ayrshire heifer,
under his care, won a pure bred pig
as second prize. George A. Tobin,
who was in charge of Sweetwater
Pride, a Hereford steer, took third
prize, a silver cup.
The prize winners for the best
sroomed animals were announced at
the banquet given by the club Sat
urday night at the Palace hotel.
seventy eight live stock enthusiasts
were present. Prof. George Sever
ahce, head of the agricultural de-
paftment, presided as POSTMASTER.

CHILD KILLS

4 Tragedy Occurs Near
Quincy and Event Dis
tracts Community.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL


Quincy, Fla, July 13.--The old
story of the danger of children play
ing with a pistol was enacted here
Thursday in a tragic manner, when
little Jones Pittman accidentally shot
and killed seven-year-old Lillian
Weatherley, a few miles from town.
The children were neighbors, and
were playing in a bedroom when the
little boy secured the pistol from a
bureau drawer end told Lillian he
was going to shoot her.
When the shot rang out the mother
rushed in from the kitchen to find
the child bleeding profusely from a
wound in the temple.
A physician and relatives hurried
from Quincy, only to find the girl
1ifeless, and the parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
D. E. Weatherley, almost frantic
over the frightful scene. Jones Pitt
man, the slayer, is about the age of
the dead child, and ran away to him
self and wept bitterly.
Many sorrowing friends and rela-
tives followed the body to the fam
lily burial ground near Havana.

q. Washington, July 13.-President
Wilson, addressing an audience here
today interested in education of
aliens, again denonced as disloyal
those foreign born citizens who draw
apart in spirit and organization to
seek some special object of their own.
He warned native born Americans
that they cannot teach good citizen
ship unless they themselves are i'm
bued with principles of American
ism. He declared this process Of
Americanization must instill stead
fastness to principle and willingness
to represent ideal things rather than
material things. He reiterated mis-
belief that a number of foreign born
citizens who have been disloyaI,
made up only small part of the
whole number of foreign born af-
fairs of government, especially, he
said, should be open so the immigrant
could look at it with closest scrunity.
