WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW
Washington Shows Big Decrease In
Crime Under Prohibition,


Seattle, Wash.-Warden Drum, of
the Washington state prison, shows
by his records that Prohibition de-
creases crime and therefore decreases
expense to the taxpayers.
According to the Warden's report,
442 prisoners were received in the wet
year Of 1914, and 412 in 1915, the
last wet year. In 1916, the first dry
year, the number dwindled to 235, and
in 1917 it was 239, but little more
than half as many for the first two
dry years as for the last two wet
years.
The Warden has also received re-
ports from the State Penitentiary in
Montana, California, Idaho and Ore
gon. The Montana and California
prisons, located in wet states, show
an increase in the number of prison.
ers received during both of the past
two years, while the Idaho and Ore
gon prisons, both states under Pro-
hibition, show decrease similar to
that shown in the Washingto~ prison.

Crop Conditions.

The condition of wheat March
l shows 83 per cent, compared
with an average, which is very
encouraging, showing an increase
of one point since report of JAN
uary l. On the setting in of wi: =
ter, owing to late seeding and
lack of moisture, the wheat had
not attained the usual degree of
growth and vigor. In mary
fields there was very little ap-
pearance of the plant. The Win
ter has been one of the coolest in
the history of the state, but there
has been great amount of snow
protection. The ground has been
almost continuously frozen and
there is very little complaint of
upheaVal of the wheat roots, and
if favorable weather prevails un-
til the complete opening of sprial
the wheat, now we'll in the
ground, may shoot rapidly for
ward and advance many points in
general condition. The frost is
not yet all out of the ground, and
while the snow has about all dis-
appeared, the wheat has not had
time to green up, and it is there
fore difficult to estimate with any
degree of correctness the tru
condition of the plant. Much
that now shows brown and has
the appearance Of being winter
killed may be safe at the root and
show yigor at the proper time.
Winter conditions have been more
favorable than otherwise to The
protection of wheat, and the de.
velopmehtS of the next few wee ks

interest. Why we are encour-

in the absence of the pastor to contin-

has not yet finally decided as to his
acceptance or rejection of the call.

Worlds Debt to Arabrans,

The world is indebted to the Ara
bians for a greater number of sciences
than today is generally admitted. The
Arabs were in some sort the discov-
erers of botany and chemistry. Agri-
culture was studied by them with a
knowledge of climate, soil and the
growth of plants. From the eighth to
the eleventh century the Arabs estab-
lished medical schools in the principal
cities of their dominions and pub
lished valuable works on medical SUBJ
jects.
