FOR EFFICIENCY
He Has Made the Free Employment

given to M. ID. Henry for the eff
cient way in which he has managed
the employment agency established
by the organization. o. l.. Waller

lished to meet any trouble resulting
from the strike called by the |. W. w.

dered valuable service to the farmers
and the community.
ID. f. Staley stated that through
the agency all demands for farm
laborers had been met within "a
hours A bunch of 10 !. w. WIS had
been located and pointed out to the
farmers, who refused to employ
them and after hanging around a
few days without receiving any offers
of work, they had departed without
causing any trouble. He attributed
the successful operation Of the
agency to the ability of NJ. d. Henry,
who had been secured to conduct it.
A motion was carried that a report
of the plan of operation of the agency
and the satisfactory results attained
be prepared for the information of
other com munities.
DR.. Archer referred to the recent
fatal accident at the O.-W. r. & N
crossing on Kamiacken street and
urged that some steps should be
taken at once to eliminate the con-
slant danger from the railroad cross
ings either by the installation OF
gates or the construction of via
duct continuing Star Route street
over both railroads to Main street
Several others told of narrow es-
capes from accidents at the railroad
crossings and urged that some action
should be taken at once. The matter
was referred to the social welfare
committee for investigation.

STOP ROAD WORK
SAYS TAX LEAGUE
Abnormal Price and Labor Conditions
Lead to Unusual Request by Tax
payers--Colfax- Pullman
Road Criticized

A cessation of all road building op-
erations in Whitman county until
price and labor conditions again be-
come normal will be recommended to
the board of county commissioners
by the Whitman County Taxpayers
league as the result of meeting of
the league held last Sunday in Col
fax. The melting was attended by
taxpayers from different parts OF
the county. The resolution adopted
by the league also advocated the es-
adjustment of patrol system for
the improved roads of the county,
every ravel in the wearing surface
or rut in the highway to be repaired
as soon as it is discovered.
Approximately one-half a million
dollars will be available for road
building purposes in Whitman county
next year, and thv league recon-
mends that this and other funds be
permitted to accumulate until con
dtions again become normal, then
expended for road work that will
stand the wear and tear of travel.
The taxpayers, however, advocate the
expenditure of enough of the funds
during this time to keep the present
roads in good repair.
The mooted Pullman-Cofax road
was the. subject for an amin ated dis
cussion by the tax league members,
who claim that the road, after cost
ing the taxpayers thousands of dol
lars, is worse than useless, and that
persons travelling from one town to
the other are forced to go over the
unimproved dirt road by way of AL
bion. The surface of the Pullman
ColfaX road has given away entirely,
leaving a bed of rocks, most of them
larger than hens eggs, for the tour
list to fight his way through, even
though the road has been open only
very short while. The half of the
road on the Colfax end is in much
better condition than that from the
halfway schoolhouse east to Pull
man, and practically all of the trav-
elers coming this way leave the al
legged improved road at the Kop-
peck place, just east of the school
house, and go northeast to Albion,
thence to Pullman by way of Kitz-
miller. This road is considerably
longer than the regular highway and
includes several steep hills, but is
far the lesser of the two evils.
The macadamized road from the
Holt place to the old Thomas Say
age farm, which has stood up nobly
under its heavy traffic for over 10
years, has completely gone to pieces
during the past two weeks and now
is in almost as bad shape as the
more recent improvement" from the
Savage farm to ColfaX.
Mem bers of the tax league do not
blame the contractors for the deplor-
able condition of the Colfax-Pullman
road, who they claim have followed
their specifications as closely as pos
sible, but hold the county commits
sions responsible for the alleged
waste of thousands" on the high
way that was gone before it was
completed.

Demanding That Pacific Coast

Chances Appear Slight

kilograms from all parts of the
Northwest are flooding the national
capital, demanding that the Pacific
Northwest be recognized in the fix
ing of wheat prices for 1917 to the
extent of the establishment of spe-
cific basic markets at the Coast ter
minals, thus relieving the Northwest
farmers of the big financial burden
of freight rates to the Chicago or
stands the basic price fixed by the
government of $2.20 for No. North
ern wheat in Chicago means that the
Northwestern farmer will receive but
$3.50 or less for his 1917 wheat,
the difference representing approxi-
mately 30 cents for freight charges,

rate for Pacific Northwestern ports
based on Liverpool delivery, instead
of the Chicago basis, would, in effect,
give the Northwest the same basis
which Chicago has and would permit
grain producers to receive 81 a
bushel, and possibly a few cents more,
instead of $3.50.

English lady named Ruby Hood. After
some time they separated, and the lady
lived apart from her husband. The
latter then began proceedings and OBJ
tanned an order for restitution of con-
jugal rights. but this was not complied
with, and proceedings for divorce were
then begun by the wife. but were dis
missed. Now, according to Mohamme-
dan law. II the husband gives his wife
"writing Of enforcement" or as II Is
called "Talak," this constitutes d.
vorce. Mir-Auwarudding did this and
then applied for marriage license to
enable him to marry again. This was
refused, and the lord chief Justice sit

SIGHT Affected by Paper.

j committee of the British associa-
ton has been conducting an inyestlga-
tfon Of the influence Of school books

dren. The glossiness of the paper was
found to be an important matter. This
glossiness depends mainly on speeular
reflection. /. e., reflection similar to
that from polished metals. Such re-
Election is apt to interfere with binoc-
ular vision. Scattered or difruse refec-
ton. as from a fine white powder, is
not harmful. Specular reflection can
not be entirely avoided in paper. but
1t is not injurious to vision unless ex-
cessive. When the specular reflection
exceeds Sc per cent. the. resultant
glare is likely to be harmful. Writing
paper for school use should not give
more than "a per cent specular reflec-
tion at an angle of 45 degrees. since

Effect Of Auto on Agriculture.

Every time an automobile displaces
a horse five acres Of land are added to
the agricultural area Of the country.
Among the economic influences of the
motor car, this is one phase that Is
commonly overlooked. There are
about 2G,000,000 horses In the United
States and each horse consumes six to
seven tons Of food year. II Is easily
figured that an average of five acres
is required to furnish food for each
horse. This means a'tOtal Of 100000
600 acres of land devoted to pastures
and raising hay--over 100000 square
miles. This means land nearly five times
as big as Ohio, or an area larger than
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, de-
voted TO feeding horses instead of peo-
pie. OF course, the releasing of all
this area from pasture uses and max
ing 1t available for the support of pop
ulation will be a tremendous economic
gain.

RAYMER BASKETBALL
FIVE WIN FROM KEOTA
PLAY HARD FOUGHT CONTEST
Although The Local Team Have Done But
Little Consistent Practice They Show
Up Like a Championship Club

The Raymer High School girls de-
feated the Keota girls here Saturday
night to the tune of IL to 10. The
Raymer girls have had but little prac-
tice since cold weather began, owing
to the fact that the auditorium has had
no heating system. However the room
is now comfortably heated, and no
doubt the next game here will be
faster and more scientific game on the
part of our local club.
The game started with lots Of pep
and during the first third of play it was
quite evident that our girls would have
to play ball IN order to take this game
from Keota who seemed to be playing
to win. Raymer made three fouls in
the first stage Of the game and shot a
goal for Keota with the result that the
first intermission showed Keota 5; and
Raymer 4. With strong bunch of en-
thusiastic rooters for Raymer who
knew that the game was still young
and felt confident that the local five
would run the score up in their favor
before the final count was registered.
The second period Of play was all in
favor of the Raymer team. Miss
Mayme Hoffman found the location of
the basket and succeeded in landing
four field goals in rapid succession dur
ing this third of play. Her basket
throwing was the feature of the game
and allowed Raymer the winning score.
Score now stood Raymer l2, Keota 9.
The last third of the game was not
so fast and showed both clubs were
firing. Neither team was able to
score now, except that Raymer allow
ed the visitors another free throw and
time was called. Raymer IL, Keota 10.
Both teaps made an effort to play a
clean game, and while Raymer allowed
too many free throws they more than
made up by playing superior ball.
