PLUCKY YOUNG LADY
WINS HIGH HONORS
Handicapped by Illness of Team Mate
Miss Grace Troy Took First Place
in State Canning Contest

Miss Grace Troy gave fine dem
onstration of pluck and won high
honors for Whitman county at the
state fair at Yakima last week. She
and Miss Zelpha Eaton constituted
the team chosen to represent Whit
man county in the state canning con-
Eaton was stricken with a severe at
tack of appendicitis which required
an operation as soon as she reached
Yakima. The committee in charge
of the canning contest offered Miss
Troy the option of withdrawing from
the competition or going ahead and
doing double work.
She pluckily replied that she would
do the required work alone, and
without any assistant, canned two
quarts of carrot marmalade, one
quart of beans, one quart of pears
and one quart of peaches In addi-
ton to the actual work of canning,
she was required to explain each OPP
Grafton and answer all questions
asked This alone was a hard task
and each evening her voice was worn
to a whisper.
There were "a teams entered in
the contest, but when the judges an
nounced their decision they gave first
place to the one-girl team from Whit
man county. The Yakima team took
second place and the Spokane girls
third place This victory entities the
Whitman county team to enter the
interstate contest at the Spokane
fair next year, and If they win there
they will be entered in the national
contest at Chicago,
Miss Troy returned from Yakima
worn out by her trying ordeal, but
highly elated over her success in up
holding the reputation OF Whitman
county.

CLAIMS INJUSTICE
IN RECENT DRAFT
New Call for 2S4 Men Depletes Glass
| and Causes Whitman County
to Send Six Times Its Fair
Quota

That an injustice is done Whitman
county in the latest call for 2S4 reg
istered men for entrainment to Camp
Lewis during the five-day period
commencing September 80 is the con-
tention Of County Food Administra-
tor j. N. Emerson, who points to the
fact that Whitman county is asked to
furnish more men than either King
or Spokane county, or any other
county in the state. and six times its
just quota of the 1900 men asked of
the state. The new call will deplete
the countys Class | men of the 1917
registration and the June and Au-
gust registrations of this year. The
call for men from the various coun-
ties was evidently made for the en-
tire number of Glass | men, without
respect to population, thus causing
the counties with the greater number
of young men to send many more
than their ratio, based on population.
Another condition pointed to by
Mr.. Emerson which is an injustice to
the county is the transferring of all
men registered this month who re-
side in Washington but get their mail

fects "a men residing in Whitman

MR.. SIMPKINS PAYS
HIS INCOME TAX
BY ROBERT McBLAIR.

Mr.. Simpkins gazed at the portrait
on the wall till his eyes filed with
tears. 1t was a portrait oI his father.
Colonel Slmpkins. who had four times
been promoted for valor during the
Civil War and had died bravely on the
field of action. Mr. Simpkins' throat
ached now for two reasons: First, he
reverenced and adored the memory of
his father; secondly. his age and his
eyes and his game leg wouldn't let him
20 TO war himself. And as he observed
the martial bearing and uncompromis-
ing gaze Of Colonel Simpkins he saw,
IN imagination. the KHAKI clad lads Of
the new generation marching forth and
crossing three thousand miles of sea TO
fight maybe die. for liberty.
Mr.. Simpkins peered around to make
sure that neither Bess nor John (whO
were at the teasing ages of sixteen
and seventeen) were where they could
see him, then he Strengthened and
threw his right arm up for salute.
But his equity shoulder twinged, and he
groaned. He couldn't even salute.
Damn said Mr. Simpkins. and
with his other hand fiercely twirled his
white mustachios.
He turned and limped into the IL
brary and sat down creakily before the
mahogany desk on which were lying
the blanks for his income tax state
ment, blanks which he had rather
grumpily got from the Internal Reve-
nue. officer only that day after lunch
con on his way home from the club.
Mr.. Simpkins' income for 1917 had
amounted to just about $4,000 and he
had been rather snappy on the sub
ject of taxes ever since he had discov-
cred that the more income man has
the greater the percentage of IL he
paws in taxes. He could think OF sew
eral men who, like himself, were mar
ried and had two children, and yet,
although their incomes were nearly
half of his, they would pay only
