PULLMAN. WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER "A,
County Officials Ask More Money
Increased Tax Levy VIII Result From
budget Prepared by County
COmmiSsioners--$12O,OOO
Must BE Raised for
County Expenses

One hundred and twenty thousand
dollars will be required for current
expenses in Whitman county next
year, according to the budget pre-
pared by the county commissioners.
This is an increase of $4,000 over
the actual budget for 1917, the big
difference in operating cost being
due, in large measure, to proposed
10 per cent raise in salaries for
deputies and clerks, occasioned by
the high cost of living. Higher cost
of materials, supplies and labor, to-
gether with other abnormal condi-
tions, also must be charged in part
with the $4,000 increase in county
expenses.
Taxpayers will be given an oppor-
tunity to voice their approval or dis
approval of the budget at the first
meeting of the commissioners in De-
tober. Following the hearing on the
proposed budget, that or revised
list of figures will be adopted.

items in the actual budget for 1917,

by the comm issioners for 1918 and
subject to revision following the pub

FINALLY IT RAINED

After SO days of continuous
drouth Jupiter Pluvius got busy with
a vengeance this week with the re-
suit that combines and threshing
crews lost from one to three DAYS
time. The first rain came Monday
night, when the ground was soaked
to depth of about an inch. Threeh-
ing outfits were laid off Tuesday, but
resumed operations Wednesday, only
to be forced to again cease opera-
lions Thursday as result of the
doWnpours of Wednesday night. The
rains will be of great assistance to
fall pastures and will result in no
damage to crops unless they con-
tinue for some time. The soil is
now in good condition for fall work

HERBERT HOOVER,
Food Administrator.

The above appointment is not only
a fine tribute to the ability of Miss
Craig, but is a high honor to the
State College and a recognition of
the splendid standing of its depart
ment of home economics.
Miss Craig has received "a letter
from Mr.. Hebbard in which he says
1T is understood that you will
work with me as federal food admin
istrator in arranging for the official
program of the state relating to
home economics in adjusting the ma
tional food program to meet local
conditions, and assist in using all
means desirable to bring the food
conservation program to the indi-
vidual housekeeper.
IF it is decided to publish regular
reports of the food conservation, it
is hoped that you will be able to as
sist in this work. The food conserya-
tion division of the food adminstra-
ton at Washington will keep this Of
flee informed as to its activity along
the line of food conservation and this
will be transmitted regularly to you
by me.
u shall appreciate very much hear
ing from you as to the work now in
progress in the state and to any sug-
gestions you may have as to how the
volunteer forces of the state may be
gotten more effectively back of this
work of the State College and other
agencies.
AT a meeting of the food supply
and conservation committee of the
State Council of Defense, resolu-
tion was approved by the State Coun-
ell urging school boards, principals
and superintendent to permit or to
provide for emphasizing in the home
economies courses in the public
schools. the work of food conserya-
ton and permitting any necessary
notifications of courses in order to
do this, especially during the next
few months. | shall be very glad to
have any suggestions from you as
to the feasibility and method of ac-
complishing this purpose.
CHAS. HEBBARD.
Miss Craig will accept the appoint
ment and is already formulating
plans for the big work, which will
probably occupy a large portion OF
her time.

JOHNSON TEAM WINS
CANNING CONTEST
For Second Time johnson Trio viii
Represent Whitman County ut
State Fair--OnlyT Teams
Compete

With only two teams com peting,
the three young ladies from Johnson
captured first honors in the can
ming contest held last Saturday at
the State College for the purpose of
selecting a team to represent Whit
man county in the biys and girls
club canning contest az the state fair
at North Yakima. 1t was the second
consecutive year that the county
honors have gone TO the young ladies
from Johnson, but their victory was
clean cut and well deserved, and they
were highly praised by the judges for
the excellence OF their work. The
winning team includes Miss Gladys
Henry, Miss Ada Walker, and Miss
Opal Lamb, and the young ladies
were coached to their victory by Miss
Blanche Henry, a member of last
years winning team.
The only competition was provided
by the team from Palouse. The Gar
field trio started for Pullman but ex-
perienced automobile trouble and
were forced to abandon the journey,
together with all hopes OF winning
the trip to North Yakima. The COM
peting teams canned tomatoes and
peaches and the work was judged by
Miss Grace Coulter of the State Col
lcge home economies department and
Mrs Asher Hobson.
Chaperoned by Mrs. w. D. Henry
mother of one of the members of the
team and the coach as WELL the three
young ladies will leave September Is

ton expenses will be paid by the
state. while the fair management
will entertain the members OF all the
winning county teams while at North
Yakima.

County Road Funds

In round numbers the amount of
money to be raised by the county
through taxation for current ex-
pense, according to the proposed
budget. is $4,000. as against
100000 for 1917. When it is
understood that there are several
items included in this budget which
were not included in that upon which
the 1917 tax was based, the actual
increase in the several departments
is slight, considering the increased
cost of material, labor and supplies
over last year. Among the new items
included in the present proposed bud
get. which did not figure in the 1917
tax are: visiting tuberculosis nurse,
$500 special legal advice, $500;
autom obile for superintendent, $425;
county fair, $500; elections, $840O.
For the latter purpose but 500 was
included in the 1917 budget which
went to pay merely the cost of reg
istering the voters. The coming year,
however, is general election year,
which necessitates the expenditure of
approximately $4,000 in excess of the
year 1917.
Salaries Are Raised
Approximately 10 per cent in
crease was made in the salaries of
all deputies and clerks throughout
the court house, including the jan
itors. This is considered nominal
increase in the light of the abnormal
increase in the cost of living, and ex-
plains in large part the increased
cost of the administration of the yari-
GUS county offices.
County Treasurer Manring is the
only official WHO estimates the ex-
pense of conducting his office in 1918
will be less than during the present
year, although his clerks and depu-
ties are to receive l 0 per cent raise
The major portion of the difference

flee for the two years lies in the fact
that the 1917 budget contained the
premium on official bonds, while the
estim ate for 1918 does not, thra cut
ting off some $1,000 from the esti-
mated expense.

in his estimate sum to cover salary
of a deputy which was not included
in the 1917 budget.

LIQUID AIR LECTURE
*. U. Professor Gives Interesting
Demonstrations at Memorial Hall.

From liquid air, the coolest known
substance, a heat of 5000 degrees
Fahrenheit was obtained Monday
night by Prof. Charles Cady of kan
sas university when he soaked a piece
of aluminium in the liquid air and set
match to it. The occasion was a
lecture on Liquid Air. at the Memo
rial building under the auspices of the
Kansas Academy of Science.
A more powerful explosive than
dynamite can be obtained by the use
of liquid air. Cady asserted. All that
is necessary is to soak a piece of
cotton in the substance and ignite by
means of a percussion cap. Then he
thoroly frightened 1000 people by
lighting the soaked cotton, which
burned in single fash There is
no need of fear. he stated. NO ex-

The enormous expense of producing
the substance in large quantities pre-

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich. creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust dirt dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright. fluffy and easy to man.

You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and few ounces is enough to
last every one in the family for
months-Advertise

SAVE YOUR HAIR
AND BEAUTIFY IT
WITH ''DANDERINE''
Spend 25 cents! Dandruff dis
appears and hair stops
coming out.
Try this. Hair gets beautiful
wavy and thick in
few moments.

If YOU care for heavy hair, that
gIistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrious, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it fnrne-
diateIy dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice. heavy,
healthy hair if you have dandruff.
This destructive scurf robs the hair of
its lustre, it's strength and its very life
and if not overcome it produces
feverishness and itching of the scalp;
the hair roots famish. loosen and die;
then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scragsy or too oily
get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter; apply little as directed and
ten minutes after you will say this was
the best investment you ever made
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised. that if you
desire soft, lustrous. beautiful hair and
lots of it-no dandruff-no itching
scalp and no more falling hair-you
must use Knowltons Danderine. If
