SCHOOLS WILL OPEN
IN SEPTEMBER

The schools of the State of Wash
ington will open at their usual time
in September. The report that the
schools of our state would not open
until November 18th, is absurd and
without foundation. No such plan
has ever been considered or thot
necessary. The schools of our state
need to be guarded and protected
and encouraged as never before.
Except for many high school pupils
who will be needed in the harvest
ing of our crops early in the fall
we should find all the boys and
girls in school on the first morning
If the first day. All high school
pupils for whose service there is a
cal need are entitled to full school
credit for time spent in harvesting
he nations crop.
l feel assured that all school
boards and superintendent share
MS patriotic desire to conserve the
lation's food supply through the as
sistance of our high school boys
and girls.

YEARS WAR BILL
AT $14,OOO,O 900


WASHINGTON July 25.-Plans
worked out in congress for raising
war revenue were overturned today
by announcement of forthcoming
additional estimates for war expend-
itures aggregating more than $5,000,-
100000, principally in anticipation
of assembling second army of
100000 men under the selective draft
Secretary McAdoo, at a special
meeting of the senate finance COM
mittee, revealed that the war depart
ment alone is preparing estimates
to cover additional expenditures OF
nearly $5,000,000,000 and asked the
committee to hold up the $1,670,000,-
900 war tax bill until detailed esti-
mates of all departments are SUBJ
mitted. The committee agreed to the
request and pigeon-holed report on
the measure which it had planned
to submit during the day.
The new estimate, including $780,
100000 additional for the shipping
board and s100,00O,OOO for the navy
department, are to be submitted to
the committee late this week. Their
there will begin another revision OF
the war revenue measure, probably
resulting in an increase of the bills
gross tax levy by from S350,000,00C
to $1,500,0O0,000. Further credits
may also be authorized in the form
bonds or indebtedness certificates.
Besides the additional sums need
ed for the American war program
Secretary McAdoo told the senate
committee that the S3,OOO,OO0, ,O0(
authorized for loan to the allies prob
ably would last only until October
and that about S2,000,000,O0O fol
their further assistance would be
needed. Provision for this, howev.
er, is not planned in connection with
the pending revenue legislation. II
probably will be considered at the
next session.
The Secretary made no recommen-
dation as to what part of the total
should be raised by taxes and what
part by bond issues or other credits
1t was reported that the treasury de-
partment would favor raising ST 1000
100000 more than had been planned
in taxes, making the tax bill total
$3.50, 100000.
AS to the tax sources to be tapped
to meet the new estimates the frs!
disposition of the committee was to
turn to new taxes on war excess
profits and incomes. A meeting will
be held Immediately after the new
estimates are submitted.
A resolution was adopted today
calling for submission of new esti.
mates by all departments so that the
whole war expenditure program
may be considered in connection
with the pending war tax legislation
The s5,OO0,OOO,000 army increase
Secretary McAdoo informed the com
mittee, is largely to provide for the
second draft army of 100000 men
to be called while the first 100000
are under training. The S5,0OO,O0O,-
600 would provide for expenditures
until July 1, 1918.
Senator Smoot presented statistice
to show that appropriations OF the
war session already aggregate 49,
226,OOO,O0O, so that the new estimat'
es would raise the total of the first
wear of the war we'll above $4,000.

CHIEF GRUB SCOUT TALKS.

Hal B. Fullerton, who knows q lot
about farming and who is giving to the
boy scouts the knowledge he supplies
to big railroad, has been designated
''Chief Grub Scout" He says:
'Do a good deed every day. This
applies to plant life as well as to ami
NAL life of the highest type, in our
point of view. Weeds, grasses and
other wild growth, of course, do not ex-
ist in any carefully worked scout gar
den. No real good grub scout had to
pull or hack away with a hoe at any
weed, for the highest principle of
good agriculture and good grub scout
ing is to turn upside down, roots
In the air, the weed babies as soon as
they appear. This upsetting Of I'M
wanted plant life gives the sun a
chance to dry up the roots and kill the
plants"

On warrant sworn to by two citi-
zens OF Horizon, Aid. Emil Seidel,

cording to the words of the warrant.
Denied the use of the city hall and a
local lodge auditorium, Mr.. Seidel
held forth in the home of Leo Burow.
Many auditors crowded into the
room to hear the speaker and on the
street outside the improvised hall
shouts and jeers tangled in discord-
ance with his Grafton. According to
auditors Mr.. Seidel severely attacked
officials of the state and nation. The
meeting ended abruptly when someone
in the audience threw an improvised
chemical bomb of exceedingly un-
pie '-~+""u quality.

ENGLISH SCOUTS PREPARED
lducted by National Council OF
Boy Scouts of American

The boy scouts Of Great Britain
have had a message from Prime Minis
ter Lloyd George, praising their readi-
ness for service when the war broke
out. The premier wrote:
"It is perhaps only since the begin
ming of the war, during these three
years of constant drain upon the man.
hood of our nation, that we have come
to realize the great value of the move
ment which your chief inaugurated
six years before. We all now see the
meaning of the motto BE Prepared
which the association has lived up to
with such sincerity and success.
II do not think I am exaggerating
when say that the young boyhood Of
our country, represented by the boy
scouts association, shares the laurels
for having been prepared with the old
and trusted and tried British army and
navy. For both proved their title to
make the claim when the great war
broke upon us like thief in the night.
cit is no small matter to be proud
of that the boy scouts were able within
q month Of the outbreak Of the war to
give the most intelligent and energetic
help in all kinds Of service. When the
boyhood Of nation can give such
practical proofs Of Its honor, straight
ness and loyalty, there is not much
danger Of that nation going under, for
those boys are in training to render
service to their country as leaders in
all walks Of life in the future.
II can only say to all sections of the
movement, old scouts and new scouts,
scout officers and patrol leaders, Go
forward stick to 1t to the end.

SWINE OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Hogs Fit Into Modern Scheme 81
Farming on Nearly Every Farm
Excel az Money Getter.

No branch Of live stock farming is
more productive Of satisfactory re-
suits than the raising of wellbred
swine, If conducted with reasonable
care. Hogs fit into the modern scheme
of farming on nearly every farm, and
are one of the most important ami
mails to raise both for meat and for
money. They require less labor, less
equipment, and less capital, make
greater gains per hundred pounds Of
concentrated feed, reproduce them
selves faster and in greater numbers,
and give quicker turnover of money
than any other animal except poultry.

for the horse, TIE COW, the sheep or
the hog. This has its period and
makes an excellent balanced ration.
1t is an antidote for almost all the Ills
and ailments of the animal, especially
those caused by a season on dry feed,
abuse and starvation after a severe
winter. AS final admonition for
lack of feed, never start into the win
ter with more stock than your supply
of feed will abundantly supply. The
harvest is abundant and there Is time
to save feed.

AMBULANCE FOR SCOUTS.

In recognition of the good work done
by boy scouts at the time Of the Eddy
stone disaster, Robert Steele, retired
financier of Merton, Pa, presented an
automobile ambulance and complete
outfit to the boy scouts.
The service which the scouts per-
formed included work at the scene of
the disaster, the directing of traffic in
the city of Chester for two days, and
the delivering of scores of kilograms
to anxious relatives. On the night of
the explosion many of the boys went
without sleep in order to perform this
service.

BOY SCOUT ACTIVITIES.

West Virginia's peach crop this year
was the largest in the history of the
state, and boy scouts came forward to
help in this time of labor scarcity.
Rubber Day" in Canton, O., means
only that all residents shall pile on
the sidewalk all old rubbers, automo-
bile tires, magazines or newspapers
and other things that are usually
thrown away, ready for collection by
the boy scouts. The money is to be
used in opening a community canning
center.
