Girls GET TIE MONEY

A beyy of pretty girls came down
from Spokane Tuesday and after
spending the day In Pullman depart
ed with their purses bullying with
good Pullman money. The young
ladies preyed on the patriotism of
Pullman's citizens offering transpar-
ent flags to be placed in windows
or on automobile lights at fifty
cents each. Whether 1t was the
dazzling beauty and jolly mein of
the girls or real sure enough patriot
ism that induced the Pullmanites TO
disgorge their fifty cent pieces is a
matter for conjecture, but anyway
the girls got the money.

Establishments During Harvest
Season is Plan Of Extension
Service

Young women of the state will be
harvesting the Inland Empires grain
crop this fall under the plans which
are being worked out by the extern

into the grain fields themselves, but
will be asked to fill the positions of
able bodied men in the stores and
other business establishments dur
ing the harvest season so that the
men may do their bit toward solving
the labor problem.
Business houses in all parts of the
state where the labor situation de-
mands will be requested to subs.i-
tute women for men during the six
to ten weeks of the harvest season,
and the labor thus released will be
pressed into farm service. At the
same time the farmers will be asked
to ray reasonable wages to this help,
in proportion to the prices FOR grain
which prevail at that time or are
promised, the scale to be better than
that of the last few years.
Women will be used in large num-
bers in the harvesting of the fruit
crops of the Wenatcnee and Yakima
valleys, according to Director w. s.
Thornber, who Tuesday outlined be-
fore the chamber of commerce the
cart which the extension service will
play in solving thu labor situation.
The extension service is making a
Co'aplete survey OF ell available farm
machinery to be used in harvest
work and the owners of all large
outfits are being urged to keep their
threshers in the field until all the
grain is harvested The assistance of
The railroads in moving this ma
chinery fro mplace to place is also
being solicited and the extension
service heads are meeting with as.
surances of cooperation on every
hard.

TWenty-four Pullman boys are the
proud owners of from one to II

First National Bank. The 100 blood
ed sheep were purchased by the
bank in connection with the boys
live stock campaign which is being
conducted by the financial institu-
ton and came from Frank Brown of
Carlton. Oregon. They are of the
Shropshire breed, and most OF them
are registered stock. The sheep We're

while the registered ewes brought
$3.50. Lambs sold from $3.50 to
$1O.50, while two registered rams
were sold at $50 each.
All the youngsters wore broad
smiles as they took possession OF
their first live stock and they were
unanimous in their determination to
stay in the sheep business and assist
in building up the live stock industry
of the Inland Empire. The offer OF
the bank to loan the purchase price
to those boys whose finances might
keep them out of the game was taken
advantage of by the big majority OF

TO supply her war quota of volun-
teers other states will make up the
deficit, but Washington will nav
heavily under the draft. Each
county is to be given credit. under
the draft, for the number of men
who have enlisted from the county
for the regular army. Washington
has failed miserably up to this point.
State pride will undoubtedly operate

1926 in Whitman county. Every
other county in the state will be
sim Harry visited during the week
and this final appeal will be made to
the young men Of ,he state to show
that they are not slackers. Registra-
ton for the draft is no bar to enlist
ment in the regular army Every
applicant for enlistment who is OF
the draft age must show his registra-
ton card in order to enlist, but he
must likewise show it in order to
escape prosecution.
We are expecting that Whitman
county will answer this last call
with scores of recruits. all of whom
must expect to leave for the concen-
tration posts during next week
Applicants for enlistment in Pull
man should leave their names at
either of the newspaper offices or at

Workers in City Raise S240O in One
Day and in Country $1IOO--
Full $1,000 viii BE
Subscribed

Pullman has answered the appeal
OF President Wilson and will raise
ITS full apportioned quota of the
! 100000 200 Red Cross fund. The
local organization estimated that
| $500 should be raised in the city
and $500 in the tributary country.
The city was divided into 1 0 districts
and teams of business men assigned
to cover each district. They started
/ to work Monday morning and by
night were assured of $1,000, with a
number of people still to contribute.
/ The surrounding country was
divided into , districts and Wednes-
day morning | teams of two men
each started out in automo biles,
picked up farmer in each of the
! districts who had volunteered his
services and raised total of nearly
$1,000.
| w &. Jarron volunteered to cover
his district without any assistance
| from town. A number of farmers
| could not be found, and there is lit
tie doubt that their contributions
will raise the country subscriptions
TO the full $500. If they do not the
deficit will be raised in the city, for
Pullman people are determined to
meet or more than meet the $4,000
apportioned to them.
Plans for the big drive had been
carefully worked out by the commit
tee of business men, and everything
went smoothly. Nobody shirked
the duty of soliciting and, with few
| exceptions, the people upon whom
they called responded promptly and
! cheerfully.
! The way for the drive in the coun-
! try was paved at mass meeting at
! the Grand theatre last Saturday.
After the meeting, at which the pur-
! pose and necessity of the Red Cross
campaign was explained by VIM
Goodyear and Thomas Neil, a dozen
! farmers from different sections of
| the country met with the committee
and agreed TO canvass their neighbour
/ hoods with the teams of business
men from town. They made good
their promise and rendered very valu-
able assistance III the good work. The
reports from the country districts up
to yesterday noon were as follows:

BALANCE IN TREASURY
FIGURES UP MILLIONS
State Is Now Well Supplied
With Coin of the Realm;
Cash Galore

st. Paul, March 1.-THE state OF
Minnesota now is at the peak of pros
perity of its history, State Treasurer
Rlnes announced Saturday. Moreover,
he added, all indications point to con-
tinued big bank balances and general
prosperity.
This year for the first time the state
began March business with more than
$6,250,000 on hand, The amounts for
recent years are:, 1917, $6,274, O73.1S;
1916, $4,339, 178.55; 1915, $3,446, 9O4.26:
and 1914, $3,136, 6O5.47.
The recent big balance is being
pulled down by the current distribu-
ton of the March apportionment of
school funds totaling nearly $1,O0O,-
900, and 100000 of extra pay voted
Minnesota guardsmen and probably
$2,000,000 additional legislative APP
preparations will be other heavy
drafts on the state treasury in the
near future. But the treasurer esti-
mates that cash balances will con-
tinue large
According to his estimates, the dis
bursements for the four months
period ending July 1, will total $780,
900. but receipts will aggregate from
$6,500,000 to $7,00O,00O during the
same months and the present balance
will continue.
The forecast was prepared by George
La Fond, chief clerk of the treasury,
to aid in determining whether the
state will be compelled to draw soon
on it's deposits in banks outside St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth.

MONEY is STILL DUE
Guarantors Have Not All Paid UP
to the Chautauqua. -
From TUESDAYS Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
MankatO citizens who managed
the Independent chautauqua for this
city last year have not given up the
hope of getting more of the guar
antors to come to time and put forth
the cash that is now so sorely need
ed to pay off the debts of that chau-
tauqua. Creditors are calling for
their money and one small suit has
been brought. 1t is not likely that
there will be any defense to this
suit. Judgment will probably be
granted in default of an answer and
in the mean time the guarantors will
be further 'boned."
1t would take $500 to pay off those
debts. Of the amounts that were
pledged, mostly $40 on the part of
each guaISntor, there is still to be
collected q total of $3.50. But the
chautaugua committee is not asking
for it all. The committee only asks
So each from the $40 guarantors, as
that would raise about enough. But
$40 guarantors are baking on 50.
How it will come out is uncertain,
but the committee is of the opinion
that soDe more money can be rails
ed. There is NO doubt that under
the law the individual members of
the committee are liable for the f.
nal settlement, though it may be
that the Commercial club, having in
dorsed the proposition, will do some-
thing. Members of this committee,
still in Mankato are Rev. A. F. WIN
ter, George M. Palmer, J. E. Rey-
nplds, Benjamin Taylor, M. F. Sui
Ivan, ]. R. Brandrup, Rev. r. w.
Hobbs.
