Action No Benefit to state

The report of the commission
recommended that metalliferous MIN
ing be made major at the State Col
lege and coal mining at the Uni
Tersity rhe commission had scarce
~ adjourned when the University
grabbed the United States mine eX-
pertinent station away from all min
ing centers and began TO boast of it
as the foundation stone of a great
school of mines. Activity in agricul-
ural matters We're increased rather
than diminished. 4 brief was put
forth attacking the property rights,
the functional rights and the ma
tional appropriation rights Of the
State College \ Seattle member of
the commission made public ad-
dresses in his city, criticising the
work Of the State College and charg-
ing If with violating its functions.
In a word, those who believe that
the State College is the most useful
institution in the state see in the
proposed plans the certainty of it's
being crippled and its usefulness Ill
timately destroyed, with no corTe-
spending benefit to the state They
see all the labors and sacrifices of
a quarter of a century oyerthroWn
and those who believe in it and love
it will fight for its life and its use-
Hlness.'

BOOST PULLMAN AND
PULLMAN COMMUNITY
THIS is Worth Reading and Thinking
About

The Pullman Savings and Loan
association has been doing business
in the City Of Pullman for nearly -
years 1t is an association composed
wholly of Pullman citizens or those
who have been Pullman citizens Its
business has been, and is al this time
confined to the community that
makes Pullman its business and
trading center.
The aim in its organization was to
assist the citizens Of this community
and to boost this community. 1t
has stayed with this aim consistently.
a very high percentage OF all resi-
dences in this community have been
built by the aid Of the Pullman Say
ings and Loan association. In many
eases, the owner would not have
been able to build at all except for
the liberal terms offered by the as
sociation.
The association is purely mutual
in its operation and every citizen
who desires to become a stakeholder
may do so. and every stakeholder
shares in the profits of the associa-
ton.
The association employs no agents.
Its satisfied stockholders are its
agents and boosters.
Its expenses are the lowest of any
association in western United States
and because of this, its dividend dis
tribution is the highest 1t loans
money to its stockholders at lower
rate of interest than any other asso-
citation in the west and gives more
liberal terms in payments. A com
parison of its terms with those of
any other association that has done
or is now doing business in Pullman
will convince the most skeptical that
it is money in his pocket to do bust
ness with the home association.
Remember that agents talk does
not count, for the agent is interested
in making as much in commissions
as possible. Pullman Savings and
| Loan Association has no agents pays
no commissions, and no one can In
crease or decrease his personal ac-
count by selling stock or making
loans for the association. The only
interest is the community interest.
Boost for Pullman.

man Saving and Loan Association

as many recruits as some counties,
we do not wish to discredit the patri-

are laboring in the fields and about
their farms from early dawn until
darkness oyertakes them, in order to
do their bit by furnishing q small
part Of the vast amount Of food re-
quired during this war. And when

Wheat and Oats Running
Much Better Than Elk
pected in Southwest.

Bismarck. N. D., Aug. u. L.
Garske. who farms on the outskirts Of
Bismarck in one Of the poorest agri-
cultural sections of Burleigh county,
drove his binder into his wheat fields
Monday morning without much hope
OF making more than day wages out
OF the cutting Of his crop. An hour
or two later on his way to town for
som repairs he was bubbling over
with optimism, II have thirty. acres of
wheat there hat will run rs bushels
TO the acre If 1t runs a peck, and the
poorest of the crop, on the side hills,
Will average ten bushels. And I cut
a swath around my oats just to see
now they would stack up. The aver
age will be at least 80 bushels, and
some of it will u IS bushels, I
don't know where the crops have
come from; we haven't had enough
rain in my section to wet a postage
stamp, but the crops are there and
they can't be explained away" Mr..
Garske estimates that his small grain
wheat, oats and rye-from which
he a expected little or nothing rep
resents $4,000, just as it stands, and
in addition he has So head Of cattle
for the market.
MANY oPTIMIsTs.
GarSke Is only n OF many Opd-
mists whom the past week has pro-
duced. Col. Charles Brewer, score
tary of the state board of regents, on
his t from a weeks our Of the
southeastern part Of the state, reports
that wheat is running rs bushels to
the acre there, and that the farmers
have the biggest money crop since
statehood. He also brings the good
news that hay is abundant in that
hay can be purchased or haylands
rented verey reasonably.
GOOD IN SOUTHWEST PART,
Deputy Sheriff Rollin WEIGH re-
turning from Divide county reports a
wonderful improvement in the crop
situation there, and is confident the
farmers of that section will bank
more money this fall than they aver
before have had in their possession at
one time. In the southwestern sec
ton of the state, where crop failures
have not been uncommon in other
years. it is reported hat wheat will
go rs per cent better than last year,
and that while hay is short there is
really no famine of forage crops such
as was feared. Cool, damp weather
has brought out the grain remark
ably, and there is a general better
ment in tone noted throughout the
westeren part of the state. No labor
troubles have been noted to date, and
the I. w. w. menace appears less
threatening than IL any other recent
years. Most Of the outbreaks report
ed to date have been unimportant
and confined to individuals.
