NEW LEGISLATION
AFFECTING FARMERS
Was Discussed by DIR. Ira u. Cardiff
at the Chamber of Commerce
Luncheon Tuesday


commerce luncheon Tuesday was an
address by DR.. Ira ID. Cardiff,
director of the State College expert
ment station. on the measures passed
by the recent legislation which will
affect agriculture. He cited the new
water code as one of the most inn
portant, and predicted that 1t will
have the effect of doubling the area
of irrigated land within the next few
years. 1t will prevent the holding
of unused water rights for speculat-
i've purposes and will stimClate the
development of irrigation AID re-
clamation projects.
Another important measure Gre
ates a department of markets which,
under supervision of the State Col
lege will aid in systematizing and de-
veloping the marketing of farm pro-
ducts to the best advantage. 1t will
collect and give out Inform alton as
to supply and demand and the best
methods of handling and disposing of
what the farmers have to sell. The
bill carried an appropriation of $15,-
600. The college hopes to render
valuable assistance in the marketing
of low grade fruits and has been
working on the problem of reopen
ing the market in Russia for dried
fruits, which was closed by the war.
Heretofore this market was supplied
by eastern fruits, but an effort Is be-
ing made to introduce the evaporated
apples of Washington.
The legislature also passed a bill
providing for an annual appropria-
tion of $4,000, to secure an equal ap-
preparation made by the national
government, for forage crop investi-
cation, This will give a total of
$4,000 TO be spent on this work in
Washington during the next four
years, and is sure to result in great
benefit to the dairy and live stock
lHuuSlTlS6 Oi Inc SldLe.
A bill was passed adopting the u.
s. pure food standards This will
mean stricter regulations and high
ell grades of food products manufac-
tured and sold within the state.
Heretofore foods, which did not
measure up to the standard required
by the national government for ship
ment outside the state, have been un-
loaded on the people living in Wash
ington.
In closing DR.. Cardiff paid a high
tribute to the loyalty of the Whit
man county legislators and other
friends of the State College.
The president was authorized to
appoint committee to try to secure
the next meeting of the State Grange
for Pullman.
VIM. Laird, VIM. Goodyear and F.
T. Barnard were appointed as a com
mittee with power to install a foun-
tain at the Northern Pacific depot
and to arrange with the dining car
department of the same railroad to
supply Pullman artesian water for
use on the Standardization branch
VIM. Goodyear and President f. o.

port of the local Red Cross organiza-
ton and Mrs. e. w Thorpe and Mrs.
r. j. Osterman. who were present.

No duty of a desirable citizen
stands above that of giving to chill
dren and youth chance to succeed.
The development of character is the
result largely of example and en-
vironment. My example as a father
and my attitude toward the amuse-
ments INDUCED in by my children
should make me alert, and outspoken
as to the places and character of
anusements presented In the open
moving picture houses on Sunday
there is an invitation held out to
them to spend large part of the day
which we are commanded to keep
holy. The pictures presented are
often demoralizing. Then, too, the
habit is formed of running aftep
questionable amusements when the
time should be given to doing good
to others and TO the development of
the spiritual life. Acts make habit,
habit makes character If my mar
rowness" is questioned | have four
witnesses to present in my defense
They are four children who have been
taught and have practiced this doe
trine and still bid fair to make de-
sirable citizens. JOHN MELVIN.

Editor Herald
The only arguments one hears for
the Sunday opening of the show
houses are that they will gain $4,000
by it, and that but four houses
outside the city of Pullman re-
main closed Which is the more i'm
portant. that for $4,000 the people of
Pullman may be treated to an extra
dose of sensationalism. sentimental
ism, and bad air, or that the people
of Pullman keep their $4,000 and
spend the day in a saner and cleaner
atmosphere? If the youth of Pull
man needs Sunday excitement, | be-
lieye it is far less injurious for them
to get it in skiing, coasting, playing
tennis. walking the track, and shoot
ing squirrels. They at least have the
advantages of pure air and a whole
some landscape. Some towns may
need a Sunday show; Pullman obvi-
ously does not. If the town can not
support two shows, let there be one,
putting on the kind of films that par
ents are not ashamed and fearful to
have their children see. Better to
keep our $4,000 and have one dose
week less of cheap standards and
false Ideals.

do not believe in Sunday opening
of the moving picture houses for the
following reasons: moral. proper re-
spect for Sunday: business, should be
closed like other business houses of
the town; and economical. most of
Pullman's people need their loose

Editor Herald:

In regard to the question whether
picture shows should run ON Sunday,
was surprised at such a question.
No, a thousand times no. While I
approve of picture shows running
through the week, but not on Sunday.
They are as nice an entertainment,
and perfectly harmless, as any enter
tainment | know of, but if we have
Sabbath day let LIS observe it as such;
if not, let us have a wide open town.
Why not have dancing and pool play
ing on the sabbath. If we would al
low one, we could not forbid the
other. We might go to the picture
show in the afternoon and to church
in the evening and get our sins for
given, but after the picture show we
would not feel like going to church,
so we would soon give up the church.
One of the commandm ents is RE
member the Sabbath day and take in
the picture show" (misquoted) Re
member the Sabbath day and keep it
holy" No. dear friends, think six
days out of seven are enough to run
a picture show, without stealing a
part of Gods holy day I like to go
to picture shows, where they show
nice, clean pictures, but let us go to
church on Sundays. 1t would be hui
initiating should Christ come and find
me at the picture show on Sunday.

London, October 1.-(Correspond- ence. .)-Things are very difficult just now-the time" has changed and l don't know whether I am an hour behind or an hour ahead in the vari- ous appointments and engagements that fill up the life of most busy wom- en in London nowadays. Summertime ceased to exist on Monday. the 17th inst, at 8 a. m, which, according to Greenwich time, was really only 2 a. m. Therefore, we slept an hour longer in the morning and instead of lunching according to summertime, at 32:30, we really lunched according to Greenwich time at 1:30.
 It is all very complicated and mixed up, especially at this year summer time has ended fortnight earlier than 1t did last year. I believe it has something to do with crops and war work and government contracts and important things of this kind, but un- doubtedly to the ordinary individual the whole matter of reversing the clock, dropping an hour and going on as you were- is rather like the prob

She is called The Noble Mother by many of the troops who are in camp near to her country home and l was interested to hear an old soldier who paid his tribute to her brave and steadfast heart quote an old Jewish saying: God could not be ev- anywhere, so he made mothers"
 One verse of Mrs. Oglethorpe Will sons soldier song seems to me spe- cially appropriate nowadays when England and America stand shoulder to shoulder in the great war. The fact that 1t was written long before the United States came into the fight en- hances its value:
 Dear brothers OCT the seas,
 You have heard it.
 Loyal, brave and true,
 You have heard it. Though the foe. their cannons thunder You like warriors of old, You heard the call to day, And swiftly you enrolled
 You have heard it."

HUNGARY GREATEST SUFFERER ROM
 B|G WORLD WAR
Vital Statistics Show Terri ble Destruction of Man Power in Proportion
 to Population

London october 1.-(Correspond-
 ence of the Associated Press)-Hun
 gary has suffered most severely of all the belligerent countries in propor :
 ton to population, according to the
 Budapest newspaper, Pesti Naplo. lt
 draws this conclusion from the study.
 of the vital statistics just issued by
 the Hungarian government. German
 cities ceased to publish such statistics
 early in the war, but the Hungarian reports have been continued on a pre- war basis and the reports of births,
 deaths and marriages this year are alarming" The paper says:
 "The war has caused destruction of man power at the front which can
 hardly be estimated. even approxi
 mately, but the devastation caused at home seems to have been even more terrible than that among the fighting
 forces. The losses at home have cer- tainly been much more serious. "The number of births and mar riages has declined considerably in other countries as well. But in Hun gary the excess of deaths over births in the civilian population alone-has grown to such a frightful extent that in February of the present year the deaths exceeded the births by more than 1900"
 The writer, after pointing out that deaths among civilians during the third year of the war exceeded the births by 130oo0 says that the Hun garian losses at the front in the same period were over 100000, according to
 the 500 casualty lists published. The number of men who are at the front
 or who have done military service is
 given at 3,000000, or one seventh of
 the entire population. Discussing the
 civilian death rate, the writer says:
 Deaths due to bad and insufficient food certainly increased in very
 marked degree

 Many consider this as a mere fad, creation of the imagination of those who are carried away with one idea. Then I want to know why in every case of indigestion we always run for the soda and ammonia remedies, in their various forms of powder, tablet and liquid? But it is always the alkaline preparation that is relied upon to cure indigestion. We never call for the acids For the same reason, we drink the alkaline mineral

waters and avoid acids. Why are the papers filled with adverrisements If remedies for uric acid troubles? We never read of remedies for alkaliue blood or kidney troubles Our blood is almost universally too acid It is one of the rarest things in the world to find the blood of anybody too alkaline All because we fail to develop the salivary glands and to enjoy our food while 1t is being mastcated in the mouth. From the same cause our mouths are dry, and public speakers need a glass of water to moisten their mouths when speaking.

Love and a Cook Stove

From the Christian Herald.
 When Sam Clarke had all his money swept away and he and his wife were left pennless, she put her arms around his neck and said: It's all right Sam can cook'
 The little cook stove was an Aladdin's lamp They lived happily for several years in poverty.
 Then Clarke got rich again. The little cook stove went to the junk heap. And their happiness went with it; Mrs Clarke is suing for divorce.
 Now, it doesn't follow that wealth necessarily brings unhappiness. Lots of people get on very well with riches and banker after more. But 1t does often happens that so-called success divides the husband. from the wife. To him it brings increased cares; to her it brings idleness. Such success is a jealous mistress that often makes man neglect his wife. And if she has nothing else to do than worry over it there Is apt to be lively stew of trouble.
 Clarke and his wife made their grave mistake when they threw away the cook stove and went to living in hotels. A woman with nothing in the world to do is bound to discover troubles. Her chances are about even between invalid ism and divorce.
 Let healthy man in the prime of life quit work, and he goes to the dogs. He becomes pessimist, a continual grouch. and nuisance. The best woman in .he world cannot please him long. The doors of the divorce court yawn for him.
 And the woman who throws away her cook stove and sits all day long in her nice clothes can see more faults and dis cover more troubles in week than the busy woman encounters in lifetime.
 Poverty unquestionamly has it's disad- vantages. But it cannot be denied that the family cook stove is a sacred shrine near which domestic happiness loves to dwell

 NEW IDEA
 English women have, l think, orig mated quite a new idea recently. They give birthday parties for themselves, and their guests are wounded soldiers who are selected from various hos pitals in which the giver of the party happens to be interested I think these birthday parties were inaugurated some months ago by Mrs. Oglethorpe Wilson, who has a beautiful country place near London. When her birthday arrived she invited 300 wounded sol diers as her guests, entertained them royalty. gave them each little re- nembrance of the day and arranged for their comfortable transport to and from her house in motors and motor omnibuses which she hired for the occasion. The whole idea was so prac- tical and so delightfully."- sympathetic that people have taken it up enthu- siastically and now many wealthy women are celebrating their own or members of their families birthdays by entertaining the brave lads who have fought and been wounded lover there"
 THE PHANTOM BUGLE
 Mrs. Oglethorpe Wilson is a rather remarkable and interesting personal ity She is Irish by birth and has that curious strain of Celtic mysticism that is noticeable in many of the people born within the Emerald Isle. She has had no special evidence of this quality, vouchsafed to her until re- gently, however, when she had occa a- sion to say farewell to her soldier son, who was going to the front with his battalion. She was returning, feeling very sad and lonely, when she sudden ly heard somewhere in the distance the call of a bugle She listened, half in a state of trance. when she heard a voice saying Gas if from someone in her absent sons place at her side) the lines of a verse the words of which seemed to keep time with the bugle. It was so distinct and remarkable that on reaching home Mrs. Oglethorpe Wilson took a pencil and wrote down the words, and then other lines seemed to follow, which surprised her greatly
  thought of any original verse or poetry in her life before
 She has no belief in psychical phe- nomena, or telepathy or any kind of hypnotic influence, and sheNis a very practical and apparently unimagina- tive woman, who has lived since her girlhood in the north country. But ''The Bugle Call" as she calls the verses, came to her by some mys to.x ovaI eirn f,n titran hof she wrote them down they have been of great use in recruiting and for various military meetings.
