TYPEWRITER CLASSES
OVERFLOW At COLLEGE
Governmental Demand for Steno-
graphers and TypistS Gives Rise
to Record-Breaking
Enrolment

The unusual governmental demand
for typists and stenographers has
given rise to the largest registration
in those courses at the State College
in the history of the institution
With the opening of the second Sc
mester over so beginners in type
writing have enrolled, with over so
beginners in shorthand, and the col
lCge has been forced to put into use
every available typewriter, as we'll as
sending in hurry-up orders for new
machines. To take care of the many
classes have been organized, one
evening class of ; students includes
a number of townspeople, three
BARRIERS being members of the class,
as well as a number of business men
One large class of beginners in
stenOgraphy and typewriting is com
posed of high school graduates and
students of two or more years of
high school training who are being
fitted especially for government serv-
ice. These students are enrolled in
a One-year course and it is probable
that the classes will be continued
throughout the summer months in
order to complete the work as soon
as possible.
The total enrolment for the sec
ond semester in all departments is
only slightly under that of the first
semester, despite the fact that a con-
siderable decrease was forecasted.
Over 500 have already enrolled, with
every indication that the final fig
ures will crowd the 900 mark. A
feature of the enrolment is the un
usually large percentage of young
women who appear to have become
determined to replace in an educa-
tional way, the hundreds of young
men who have been called from the
college into the military service.

Dairymen Will BE Given Opportunity
to Improve Conditions Before
Drastic Action Is Taken

The city council has taken a hand
in the Pullman milk supply situation
as a result of the report of City
Health Officer T.. T. Patee and the
dairymen are likely to run against
the law unless they take advantage
of the stay of execution granted by
the city fathers and hustle a
goodly number of the bacteria out of
the milk they produce for distribu-
ton before the second test, called for
by the council, is made.
The report of Health Officer Pa
tee, made to the council Tuesday
evening, covered the four principal
diaries, the Barclay, Curtiss and
Thayer diaries, which provide milk
for the Pullman Dairy company, and
the ClOverleaf dairy, an Independent
concern. Detailed figures on tests
made of milk produced at each of
the four plants were presented to the
council, the tests ranging from a
100000 bacteria to the cubic cent?
meter of milk. A cubic centim eter
equals " drops.
The councilmen evidenced an incli-
nation to see that the Pullman con-
sumers are not forced to continue
using milk so palpably impure as
the tests indicated, but desired to
give the dairymen an opportunity to
improve the conditions before any
drastic action is taken. Looking to
that end the city fathers requested
DR.. Patee to take another test of all
the commercial milk producing
plants after lapse of several days,
final action to be based on the re-
suit of the second tests
In his report to the council the
city health officer urged the adoption
OF some system of milk inspection by
the city and recommended the pass
ing of an ordinance covering the milk
problem in full He suggested So
600 bacteria to the cubic centimeter
as a fair maximum to place on the
milk sold in Pullman, this figure
having been adopted by the govern
ment as a maximum bacterial content
in establishing its milk standards.
DR.. Patee stated in his report that
the production of milk meeting this
requirement would not work any
hardship on the producers, only or
binary sanitary conditions being re-
quired to insure good milk.
In his tests Dr. Patee took indi-
vidual samples from four to seven

WHITMAN CHANGERS
ASK WHEAT SACKS
Whitman Pomona Adopts Resolution
Asking Federal Aid in lettering
Shipping Conditions

full discussion of the grain bag
problem and the possibilities for har-
vesting the 1918 crop of grain with
a shortage of bags featured the meet
ing of Whitman Pomona Grange No.
? held last Friday at Evansville
Grange hall, west of Pullman. I'm
favorable travelling conditions result
ed in considerable reduction in the
attendance over former meetings. but
the discussions were forceful and
spirited
The following resolution, intro
duced by f. F. Gaines of College
Grange and J. NJ. Klemgard and ].
r. LaFollette of Evansville Grange,
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, There is an insufficient
supply Of available sacks to hold the
grain of the Northwest which must
be handled in sacks during the com
ing season; and
Whereas, The present price of
sacks is prohibitiye, owing to the
high cost of ocean transportation,
therefore be it
Resolved, That Whitman County
Pomona FRANCE, No. 9, petition the
proper federal authorities to do all
in their power to provide ocean trans
fnr np haV 20 yn1t
the present situation. We believe
that such federal assistance is neces-
sary in order to save the 1918 crop"
The Pomona also approved the
recommendation of the committee
that copies of the resolution be for
Warded at once to President Wilson,
to the food administration, the grain
corporation, NJ. IL. Houser, and to
national and state Grange papers and
other farmers publications.
The concensus Of opinion expressed
by the Changers was that it will be
impossible to make provision for
bulking the entire 1913 crop, the
immediate adoption of the bulk sys-
term especially working a hardship
upon the renter, whose landlord
might not feel disposed to equip the
farm for bulk handling
Pomona officers, elected at the
last meeting at Palouse, were in
stalled, The next meeting of the
Pom ona was set for March in Pull
man.

A SEVERE INDICTMENT.

At 4 time when the government il
engaged in the greatest war of all
times, it is regretable that those in
authority can not for a season at
least disregard politics, and make ey-
FRY effort possible to unite the coun-
Try in a common defense OF the ma
tons greatest peril, but it seems it
Is not so. Indeed we Republicans
IRE admonished to put by politics,
and stand by the President. but at
he same time the Presidents party
is conducting a vigorous propaganda
preparatory TO the approaching con-
gressional elections.
As an Illustration. from a high
source Of authority, Of what is going
ln al Washington. we quote from
2 letter received by a citizen Of Hart
ford from a United States Senator
only a few days ago: Never before
so much partisan activity on the part
o. the Democratic National Commit
zee. which is already organized and
ending out unlimited quantities of
literature; never before has there
been such a vast and systematized
propaganda for the purpose of aiding
The Democratic cause; and all this
is accompanied by the unreasonable
and unpatriotic demand that Repub-
licans must lie dormant in the flu
ture, that we must not begin parti-
san activity, and that we must refrain
from all efforts to control Congress,
or else rest under the charge OF he
ing unpatriotic and opposed to the
war.

FOLLOWS HUSBAND TO GRAVE.

Mrs. Sally A. Morton died at her
home near Fordsville, Thursday night
Of last week and was buried Sunday
in Fordsville cemetery. She was ff-
ty-nine years old. Mrs. MOrtOn's
husband, Mr.. J. |. Morton, preceded
her in death December IS, 1917.
Only grave services were held over
the body of Mrs Morton, which were
conducted by Rev. Brandenburg, pas
tor of the Fordsville Baptist church
A peculiar feature developed in
the will of Mrs. Morton's husband af-
ter his death. The will beQueathed
his property to his widow during her
lifetime, but stipulated that it should
not be probated until after her death.
This feature was evidently due to
an oversight in drawing up the in
strument. The Mortons were we'll
known and highly respected people
in their community.

flood of tobacco deliveries over al

of tobacco was in Greensboro Tues.
day. Here every shed in town has
been full of wagons waiting over
night to be unloaded most of the
week. Some friction came up at
the Burns house relative to the grad
ing, and the officials from Owensboru
were called in. However, the mat
ter was adjusted. and deliveries are
proceeding smoothly Grader Tins
ley is sticking to his bush. and let,
nothing not fair to the farmers gct
by him.
Prices have recently boosted a lit
tie all over the district. and later
sales will probably do even better
The farmers who have not sold should
be in no hurry to do so. 1t is very
probably that when the last end OF,
the crop is reached there will be q
wild scramble for it, Only the re-
mote possibility OF the beginning o..
peace negotiations stand in the way
Of the highest prices OF the season
being yet paid for tobacco.

Russia, the great northern power
| that played such a conspicuous part
in the earlier part of the great world
war, has thrown up the sponge. With
out having formally made a peace
treaty with the enemy she has order
ed her soldiers to lay down their
arms and return to the pursuits of
peace. Russia, that in 1915 hurled
back with the force of an avalanche
the Teutonic forces, now meekly sits
down at the Kaiser's hearthstone, and
awaits his pleasure. Russia is strong
in wealth. in food, in men, but the
spirit of her people is broken, and
she lies helpless at the feet OF her
cOnqueror. II is the shame of ma
tons and marks step backward in
the worlds Democracy. The trouble
grew out of the system of Russian
government. Glass government in its
worst form cursed the nation. Liber-
ty as known in the western world
was unknown there. The war awoke
the people 10 their power, but they
lacked the training to prOftably use
it. That power indeed destroyed a
despOtism but it could not moderate
the rules of liberty and the result
is chaos. The effect of Russias &C
ton on the fortunes of the war is
not easy of prediction. Not only does
it liberate million and a half of
Teutonic soldiers that may now be
transferred to the western front, but
it opens mp unlimited supplies of
wheat with which to feed the starv-
ing millions in Germany and Aus
tria. France is staggering under a
terrific strain, and America can make
but slow progress in sending men and
to the front, and the great
German drive that will come on the
French front with the opening OF
spring will be perhaps the severest
test yet felt by the Allies since the
war began.

Forty American soldiers, who went
down with the sinking of the trans
port. Tuscania, were buried in an
unmarked grave on the Irish coast,
Through some fault of the War De-
partment these men bore no marks
of Identification, and as a result of
this oversight their mothers will new
er know the fate of their sons. This
failure of the department to provide
the soldiers with Identification tags
will be hard to be forgiven by the
relatives OF the brave boys whose
tate can never now be certainly
known.
