Pullman's six leading lodges, in
Guiding in their combined member
ship fully 80 per cent of the citizens
of the municipality, will effect a per
manent organization for the purpose
of rendering every assistance posi-
BILE during and following the war
with Germany. Representatives
from each of the six lodges partici-
pated in a preliminary meeting Tues
day evening, called by the knights of
Pythias lodge, when tentative plans
for the effectiveness of the organi-
zation were informally discussed and
committee including one repre-
sentative from each lodge was
named to formulate definite plans
for the organization and to bring for
ward suggestions of means by which
the organization can be most effect
i've in the present crisis. The COM
form ulate "A plan of campaign elect
officers and name committees, after
which the six men will become the
executive committee. The various
members of the committee were

LODGE MEN ORGANIZE To
ASSIST IN NATIONAL CRISIS

the organization is perfected every
lodge man of Pullman will be asked
to plant every available foot of his
property to vegetables or other food
stuffs, raising as much of his own
living as possible, and thus relieving
the burden Of the government
The problem of securing Efficient
and reliable farm help during the
harvest season to garner the maxi
mum crop tnat is asked by the gov
eminent will be anothe. one in which
the organization will interest itself
This problem, in the opinion of J. H.
T. Smith, one of the delegates from
the |. o. o. f. lodge, will be one OF
the hardest of solution of any that
will present themselves during the
period of the war. For the last five
years" said Mr.. Smith, the farm
ers Of Whitman county have been
forced TO harvest their crops with
the assistance of hobo help, and
venture that enough grain is lost in
the county each year because OF in
efficient help at harvest time to feed
the county. The farmer even now
is an overworked individual during
certain seasons of the year and | am
afraid that the demand for maxi
mum acreage will meet with no great
response unless some assurance is
given that reliable help will be avail
able at harvest time. The situation
this year because of the enlistment
OF a large number of men and the
exodus of many more to Canada, will
be a critical one, and if this organ
ization can do nothing more than fill
the crews of the farmers of Pullman
and vicinity with good. reliable men
at harvest time it will be power
for good"
The organization also plans TO
make itself clearing house for in
formation of value to the government
or to the people. II is possible that
means will be provided for giving
military instruction TO those lodge
men who desire it to prepare them TO
certain extent. for service when
they are needed.

that the policy of the Theatorium

established here last Saturday when
Arthur Ricketts, was paid $1.75 per
bushel for 100 bushels of club
wheat, selling to the Puget Sound
company. Several small lots brought
better than $40 Saturday. Prac-
tically all of the 1916 crop has been
sold. although a few farmers still
cling tenaciously to their wheat in
the hope of realizing their hopes for
50 per bushel.

PROPOSE NEW PARK HIGHWAY
Good Roads Advocates Would Con.
meet National Parks Of West
Calls for 100000.

Good roads advocates have pro-
posed great circular highway which
would connect the national parks of
the West. The venture would call
for $1,000,0O0 from congress, besides
assistance from the good-roads experts
Of the department Of agriculture. The
proposed route would start at Denver
and run northwest, through the new
Rocky Mountain National park. and
enter Yellowstone by way Of Cody,
Wyo. Thence 1t would continue
through Idaho, Washington, and Ore
gon. To the west the road would in
clude Yosemite and other wonders of
California. To the south it would
cross Arizona and New Mexico, then
would run northward to Denver. AL
ready the route Is marked by many
sections of good roads, so the pro-
posed project Is not such gigantic
task as 1t might be. The entire route
Is $500 miles in length.

that wearing the skirt belonging to the

Oh! SHINING Shoes,

''In democracy 1t Is fitting that a
man should sit on throne to have his
shoes polished or. to use a brighter,
gayer word, shined. We are all kings,
and this happy conceit of popular gov
eminent is nicely symbolized by be-
ing, for these shining moments, SO
many kings together. each ON his sim.
liar throne and with a slave at his
feet. The democratic idea suffers a
little from the difficulty Of realizing
that the slave is also king, yet gains
n little from the fair custom of the
liveller monarchs to turn from left foot
to right and from right to left, so
that within human limbs, neither shoe

Rotterdam harbor In some ways IS
more picturesque than the harbor Of
New York. There are no fringing
skyscrapers, but there is as much life
and movement, more color and con-
trast, n finer sweep of line and group

surround 1t, the quaint craft that ply
up and down, the flying bridges that
close many of the distant vlstas, all
these combine with the rich color of

NOTES FOR SHEEP BREEDERS
Flock Should Be Provided With Dry
Yard and Shed FIoor-Drafty
Barn Is Poor Shelter.

Feed the sheep well In early winter.
The sheep flock should have access
to clean, pure water, even II they
don't drink much.
The condition of the fleece next
spring depends upon how well the
sheep Is cared for now.
If you can't provide your flock with
dry yard and shed floor, sell them
to your neighbor who can. You will
never succeed with sheep kept In q
wet, muddy yard.
An open shed facing the south, with
strawstack on the southwest side, is
better than a drafty barn for sheep.
