FEDERAL AUTHORITIES
BAR ALL BUSINESS
FROM PUBLIC GROUNDS

In defense of his action barring the
Red Cross from the grounds around
the federal building Postmaster Nor
gareidge quotes the following from
his printed Instructions from w. G..
McAdoo, secretary of the treasury:
1.-THE maintenance of stands for the
sale of pies, candy, cakes, mineral wa
tiers, cigars, newspapers, or soliciting
subscriptions for any purpose what
ever, is strictly prohibited in the
rooms, corridors, Hobbies, or on the
grounds of the federal buildings, or
the sidewalks within the lot lines
thereof; except that custodians may,
upon the application of duly author
lied representatives of the American
Red Cross permit the sale of Red
Cross seals or stamps during the
Christmas holidays
Judge Morgareidge holds that in the
absence of special instructions modi-
flying this ruling of the treasury de-
partment, he is not justified in per-
hitting the use of the federal building
or grounds even for so worthy a cause
as raising funds for the Red Cross
chapter.

TWO BOYS BADLY HURT
IN PULLMAN ACCIDENT
Run Into the "Bug' on Their Bicycles
And One Suffers a Fractured
Skull

There was rather serious accident
this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at Pull
man when two boys on bicycles ran
into the O.-W R. & N. Bug" Re
ports reached Moscow that the boys
were badly hurt. One by the name OF
McCallister fractured his skull and
the other, Branson by name, sustained
some injuries not so serious. The
accident happened on one of the steep
hills running down to the railroad.
The boys were coasting on their BIZ
cycles and were unable to control
them when they saw the bug" ap-
preaching. The motorman on the car
did not see the boys until it was too
late to stop.

West Virginia Railway
Once; Now the Ruler
of England's War Navy

LONDON.-They used to say that the
fastest thing on the B. & o. was the
Royal Blue limited. They were wrong.
The fastest thing on the B. & o. was a
young hired hand named Eric Geddes.
Naturally it wasn't known then, but
the appointment of Vice-Admiral Sir
Eric Geddes-the same young hired
hand and not a whole lot older-to be
ruler of the navy that rules the wave
ought to prove 1t. If the first lord of
the British admiralty had a middle
name it would be speed. If he accom-
plishes the same results in the admir-
atty that he has accomplished in other
branches of the government this much
is certain: British naval officers will
cease to marvel at the hustle of the
American navy; they'll be too busy
speeding up their own.
Gets An Early Start
Sir Eric was born In India Al years
ago. He was educated at Edinburgh
academy and Oxford Military college.
When IL years old he went to America.
He worked In southern lumber camps
q bit, then for the Carnegie steel COM
pany In Pittsburgh and became
switchman and afterwards a station
agent on the B. & O. in West Virginia.
-Four years later he left to go back to
India
In India he entered the service of
the Rohi1kund & Kumaon railway,
building OF a railroad through the jun
gle, job that made him something OF
. reputation. Thirteen years ago Sir
George Gibbs, general manager of the
Northwestern railway cabled him ask
ing If he was prepared to accept place
on the Northwestern staff
Starting Monday" Geddes replied.

FOR WHEAT GROWERS
Conference at Spokane Brings Out In
Strong Relief the Duty Of the
Northwest Farmer

SPOKANE = Experts from eight
western states reported at the agricul-
tural department conference that the

program could be furnished, accord
ing to DR.. r. A. Pearson, assistant
secretary of agriculture, following the
opening session.
Opening the conference, DR.. Pearson
declared the war lis not one of bullets

ments for feeding the allied nations
The normal wheat crop of the United
States. he declared, ran between $780,
0OO, 900 and 500 600, 900 bushels, having
been cut down in 1916 to about $780,
O0O, 900 bushels. Normal exports of
wheat ran about 1O0,0O0,000 bushels
annually, but had run up to 100000
900 in 1915, gradually being reduced
since that time, being 240,0O0,0O0 In
1916, and promising to be 175,000,000
in 1917.
Unless Mr.. Hoover succeeds in

port next year will be even smaller"
Summarizing the conference, DR..

In a short time he was appointed
deputy general manager. Lord Htch-
ener saw him in 1915 and enlisted his
aid in speeding up munitions. When
the ministry of munitions was created
with Lloyd George in charge he made
Geddes deputy general rirector. Early
in 1916 he was transferred to the war
office as director of military railways
Called ON to assist in the prepare
lions for the Somme campaign he was
transferred, at Sir Douglas Haigs re-
quest, to France as a member of the
commander-in-chief's staff, with the
title of director general of Transports
ton and the rank of mAjor-general.
Lord Peel raised the question of the
propriety of replacing a military off,
Ger with a civilian. But" said Lord
Derby, the civilian In this case is Sir
Eric Geddes." That settled it.
Man Sized Job Now
Last May it was decided his
energy was needed In the admiralty.
The post of controller was accepted.
a little Job that called for meeting the
combined requirements of the admir-
atty, the war office, the ministry of
shipping and other government depart
ments with respect to design, con-
struction, alterations and repairs of
warships and other vessels of all class
es and the requirements of the admir-
atty with respect to armanents and
munitions. So he ceased to be major
general and became a vice-a admiral.
But Lloyd George came to the con-
clusion that Sir Eric didn't have
enough to do and now has made him
first lord and the real ruler of the
queens navy.
