Tuesday and Wednesday the case
of State VS. WA. Joyce on charge
of auditing illegal claims against
the county while FAC r as road
supervisor in his district, occupied
the attention of the court. The
state had quite an array of witness
ses who sought to show that Joyce
had charged the county for several
days of service which he never per-,
formed Mr. Joyce has been road
supervisor of his district for six
or eight years and has always had
the confidence of the commissions
ers and other county officials with
whom he has come in contact, but
he has been unfortunate in making
enemies who have repeatedly
sought to have him ousted from his
official position. These facts, cou-
pied with lack of evidence of Grim
inal intent, were brouhgt out in
the trial and undoubtedly had their
weight with the jury, who brought
in verdict of not guilty. Mr..
Joyce was defended by Attorney C.

the State College at Pullman has
the following to say about some of
the practical young patriots of
White Bluffs:
Among the thousands Of boys
end girls in Washington whose club
industry of the past year has Melted
the state hundreds of thousands in
food produced and conserved, are
large number of boys and girls en-
gagged in the production of pork.
This army of juvenile pork pro-
ducers is being enlarged and mob
iized for the work II the coming
year by Pig Club Leader B. f.
S,mead of the State College. Upon
joining a pig club, a boy or girl is
thereafter supplied by the State
College and its extension service
specialists throughout the state
with Unnecessary information, which,
so far as it goes, is in no way in
ferior to the instruction given the
students in animal 'husbandry reg
ularly enrolled in the college at
Pullman. Judging by reports which
Club Leader Smead has received,
the knowledge the young people
have in this way received is being
turned. to good account in the pro-
duction of pork.
Dan Williams, of White Bluffs,
says he joined a pig club because
he wanted to know more about
pigs. He bought a pig of the Du-
roc-Jersey breed, believing this
type of swine best adapted to the
White Bluffs country and named
the animal Premium" because it
was $50 we'll built" In his report.
young Williams emphasizes the i'm
portance Of green crops. Plus
green pasture, he has milk. peach
es, apples and table waste for his
pigs. He says that we'll bred pigs,
if kept clean, will mature better,
than will the scrub. Dan says he
wants to learn moro about pigs;
also, that boy who Starts some
thing and keeps at it until he has
learned something will amount to
something"
Valuing his pig at five dollars in
the beginning, and charging it with
all costs of maintenance. he gives a
total profit Of $7.45.
Some day. Aileen Sprague, a
White Bluffs girl twelve years old,
will make the stories written by
Irwin Cobb, Sam Blythe or Mary
Roberts Rinehart, look like small
