Deal With Men You Know.

Don't expect the impossible of your
town and it's merchants. Be sure first,
before you complain of the goods and
prices Of home merchants, that you
haven't had hand in making it i'm
practicable for our merchants to han
die the kind Of goods you want at
the prices you can pay. Merchants
are not mind readers nor are they
blind to their own best interests. If
they haven't what you want they
will get it for you at as low or lower
price than you can get it anywhere
else. They deserve to be given an Op.
portunity to do so anyhow; but il
they do not deserve it you will be
doing yourself a bigger favor than
you will be doing them to deal face
to face with men you know and that
can be held personally accountable for
their promises and performances. Try
this for rule of trading hereafter.

A Vivid Contrast in Labor News

There were two items of labor news
in the press dispatches this week.
One told of Lloyd Georges reply to
Samuel Gompers' telegram asking that
representatives of British labor be
sent to the United States with the
commission coming to Washington for
war conferences. Delighted to com.
ply with your request" was the pre-
miers answer to Mr.. Gompers' pa.
triotic appeal.
British labor and American labor
will counsel with the government at
Washington in a lofty purpose to aid
the great cause of world freedom and
enduring peace. Under the sagacious
leadership of Mr.. Gompers the great
organizations that carry on the indus
trial activities of America will do their
patriotic part. ...
The contrasting spectacle is move
ment by I. w. w. agitators to stir up
unrest throughout the state and Grip.
pie the numbering, farming and min.
ing industries when the nation and
our allies across the seas will heed
the last pound Of their productive
power.
These Incorporate and reckless men
are putting themselves outside the
pale Of public approval. Public opin-
ion will condemn them. This is not
time to tolerate their unpatriotic
efforts to oppose the nations welfare
and obstruct the progress of justice
and liberty throughout the world.

WHOSE BUSINESS 1T 1T?

The development of your city is no
one mans duty;
Nor is it the duty of any one group
of its people.
The individual must not hesitate to
start the work;
His neighbors should not hesitate to
help it along.
No one element can accomplish de-
sired results alone;
Neither will one element alone be
benefited thereby.
1t is the interest of all, and the bust
ness of all;
One man may originate, but all men
must execute.
The first duty of each is to enlist the
aid Of all;
The duty of all is to promote the in
teest of each.
The development of this town is no
one mans duty.
This towns development is the towns
opportunity.
This towns welfare is the whole
towns business.
Let US get busy!

Flight Of a Swarm Of Meteors.

A swarm Of meteors that appeared
on Feb. 8, 1913, was regarded at the
time as very remarkable on account Of
the great distance it was traced in the
earth's atmosphere. 1t was first seen
In Saskatchewan, western Canada, and
seemed to be travelling southeasterly.
as 1t was also reported from Bermuda.
From the additional records supplied
by seamen w. f. Denning, the English
authority on meteOrs, has concluded
that 1t continued in view during at
least $500 miles of its flight. AS the
visible stream could at no time have
been more than about 100 miles high,
1t must have followed the earth's
curvature, and the curious idea has
been advanced by Garvin ]. Burns that
1t was really captured by the earth as
a group of infinitestimal satellites. The
neteors may thus have passed around
the globe several times before reach.
Ing the surface. 1t is supposed that
the orbit Of the stream nearly coincid-
ed with that Of the earth and that con-
sequently the velocity Of fall through
our atmosphere was small.

PRESIDENT HOLLAND
MAKES PLANS
Agricultural Work at State
College to Be Increased-''
10000 Cows Under Test.

STATE COLLEGE, Pullman.-Pre-
liminary to the annual meeting or
the Board of Regents of the State
College, on April 4th, President e. o.
Holland has asked the thirty-three
departmental heads CT the institution
to submit itemized estimates OF ex-
penditures recommended by them in
behalf of the work of their depart
ments for the year following April !,
1917. In his request, department
heads are asked to eliminate from
their estimates, all expensive new
equipment" purchase of which can
by any means compatible with eff
cheney be deferred another year; and
to buy ligh: of all departmental sup
plies, the price of which is rendered
abnormally high by wartime condi-
tons.
Agricultural Teaching Developed.
Holding in allegiance for at least
year all but the most acuteiy needed
additions to college equipment, as
we'll as the completion Of more than
q floor or two Of the two large build
ings now awaiting interior finishing
on the college campus, President Hol-
land expresses the desire to enlarge
the work of the agricultural expert
ment stations in eastern, central and
western Washington. Also, he de-
sires to increase the extension depart
ment, which includes the country az
ricultural agents, the boys and girls
club work, the cow testing associa-
tons, and field work in dairying,
home economics, and farm crops. Ad-
ditional emphasis is to be given to
agricultural teaching, such as the
short course schools throughout the
state, and the collegiate and elemen-
tary science departments of agricul-
ture at Pullman.

sehnitt Tells Congress Committee.
Unified Federal Control Will Improve
Conditions.
Washington, April 2.-The condition
in which the railroads find themselves
as q result Of constant increases in
wages, prices Of material, taxes and
other expenses, while their revenues
are restricted by legislation, was strik-
ingly described by julius Kruttschnitt.
Chairman of the Executive Committee
Of the Southern Pacific Company. in
his testimony during the past few days
before the Joint Congressional Com.
mittee on Interstate Commerce, which
is making a study of the question of
railroad regulation. Mr.. Kruttschnitt
urged the committee to recommend a
plan Of regulation which will center
responsibility for regulation and its
results in the federal government, so
that conditions affecting both expenses
and revenues may be made subject to
a uniform policy instead Of the waste
full and often conflicting policies in
volved in the system of combined state
and federal regulation.
Why Roads Need More Money.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt's testimony also had
bearing on the reasons for the appli-
cation of the roads to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for general
advance in freight rates. He showed
that while the price Of transportation
has declined in recent years. the cost
Of producing transportation, like the
cost of almost everything else, has rap
idly advanced. This he illustrated by
showing that if freight and passenger
rates had increased during the past
twenty years in the same proportion as
average commodity prices the railroads
of the United States would have re-
ceived $1,654 100000 more for trans
portation in 1915 than they did receive
This saving to the public was effect
ed, in spite Of an increase Of SO per
cent in the cost Of operation of trains,
by reduction in the average passen.
ger rate per mile from 2.O4 cents in
1895 to 1888 cents in 1915, a decrease
of per cent. and by reduction in the
average freight rate per ton mile from
$50 mills in 1895 to 7.3 mills in 1915, or
Is per cent During the same period
the cost of operation per train mile
rose from 90 cents to SITS, almost
doubling. At the same time the aver
age price of 34G commodities enumer-
ated in bulletin of the Department of
Agriculture increased 115 per cent.
Transportation is practically the only
commodity in general use that has not
increased tremendously in price during
the past twenty years, freight and pas
senger charges being lower than they
were twenty years ago.
Big Saving to Public.

cles of ordinary use, Mr.. Kruttschnit'

At the close of March, 20 countiesI
of Washington had set aside moneyl
and sgnified their Willingness to en-,
ter into cooperative agreements with
the State College of Washington and
the U. S. Department of Agricultural
for the employment of county agri-
cultural agents. Twelve Thousand |
COWS were under test by the COW
testing associations managed by the
Extension Department of the State
College, and all but $40 of this num-
Der have been brought into the test
ing associations in the last eighteen]
months.
Milk at II Cents.
The Chehalis contrasting associa-
ton showed in it's February work. by
demonstrations in several large dairy
herds, that farmers feeding kale to
their COWS were producing milk at Al
cents a hundred; silage, 20 cents u
hundred; ordinary feeds, such as al
falfa bought from central Washing
ton. and grain, $1.05 per hundred. The
State College warns western Wash
ington dairymen that all of them can
not rely upon kale, however, since in
some localities it frosts. The price
of milk in February, on the Belling-
ham, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland
markets. ranged near 81 per hundred.
Hats For Evening.
The edict Of the French government
that hats and simple gowns must be
worn in the evening in public has al
ready brought about the fashion h
this country. Milliners are delighted
over the change. They are Offering MI
manner Of brilliant and expensive hats
to wear with low evening gowns. II
has been a half dozen years or more
since this fashion was accepted IN,
America. Today one sees more than
half dozen fashionable women in the
restaurants in the evening adopting II.
The majority of these evening hats
are Of silver tulle or bullion cloth.

Universal railroad bankruptcy under
this reduction in rates and increased
cost Of operation, he said, was avoided
only by heavy expenditures to obtain
increased efficiency in train movement,
making it possible to haul more tons Of
freight per locomotive. This had re-
duced the average cost Of hauling a
ton of freight, but the decline in the
average freight rate had reduced the
net revenue of the roads from each ton

prices" he said, 1.-THE purchasing power
Of the dollar has fallen 55 per cent and
the railroads are in the position Of be
ing compelled by law to accept pay
ment for their service to the public In
currency worth As cents on the dollar.
PubIic's Chief Interest.
1.-The public's greatest interest is In
adequate transportation facilities and
not so much in low rates. AS to most
commodities freight rates form very
small proportion of their cost. Elk
Guiding low grade commodities, the
percentage Of the freight rate to the
cost is SO slight as to offer no justifica-
ton for any substantial increase In
prices to the consumer. 1t may be
stated with little fear Of contradiction
that the consumer seldom, If ever,
p.otts from lowering Of freight rates.
"Extortionate charges are a thing Of
the past. and under the attempt to cut
rates to their lowest possible figure
the interest o: the whole public in the
character and standard Of transporta
ton is subOrdinated to the interest of
that part of the public only that profits
by lower rates-that is to say, the ship
pers and their agents and not the gen
eral public, the ultimate consumer"
