J. p. Duke Of Palouse made one
of the best talks of the session. He
said that one of the first meetings
he attended after coming to Palouse
in 1891 was called to advocate small
er farms, and the matter had been
under discussion ever since. If the
smaller farms are to come the banks
and merchants must show their faith
i'll the movement by extending more
credit to the man with q little bunch
Of live stock. People should be ad-
vised to visit the State College, in
spect the college farm and seek ad-
vice from the agricultural experts.
Same Breeze said that there had
been too much talk and too little &C
tion about the proposed change. He
called attention to the lack of pas
ture in this section, which is very
serious handicap to the raising of
live stock.
j. S. Klemgard said that the whole
matter hinges on the question, win
it pay?' and predicted that if it could
be shown that smaller farms would
be more profitable the big ranches
would be cut up in jig time. He read
several lists of farms offered for
sale at different points in the
county, which showed that the num-
Der of small tracts on the market
was much larger than that of big
tracts, which fact he thought demon
strated that the small farms were
not paying as we'll as the big ones.
Prof. e. G. Schafer predicted that
the increase in the value of land
will necessitate securing a higher
yield per acre.
While the discussion proved that
there is wide divergence of opinion
regarding the matter, much valuable
information was brought out which
can be used to advantage by the ad-
yocates of family-sized farms.

VERY STRONG CAST
IN POPULAR farce
THE Magistrate" viii Be Presented
BY the Mask and Dagger
Club Saturday Evening,
March %

The first college play of the year
The Magistrate" will be produced
by the Mask and Dagger Dramatic
club Saturday evening, March %.
The Magistrate" is one of
Pinero's popular farces which are
always well received. The play
made run of one year straight in
London and also played successful
engagement in New York. The mu-
steal comedy, Good Morning,
Judge" was revised originally from
The Magistrate" and is well known
over the United States as a road
show.
The play possesses all the wit,
complications and clever situations
that characterize Pineros comedies.
From the opening scene, when Beatie
Tomlinson, played by Josephine
Vogler, gives Cts Harrington, Jack
Hamilton. his music lesson, until the
final scene when she agrees to act
in another capacity, the surprises
come thick and fast.
The title role, the unfortunate and
extremely married magistrate, Aen-
cas- Paskett, is ably handled by s.
Allison. Mr.. Allison is we'll known
through his work in THE Man on the
Box" and other productions while
at Lewis and Clarke high school In
Spokane. AS his wife, Agatha, who
spends a night in a Mulberry Street
police court without even the con-
ISOLATION of a powder puff" Helen
Jones does excellent work.
Albion Horrall takes the part of
Colonel Lukyn, the we'll meaning
friend, effectively. Mildred Chris
Jensen as Charlotte Virrinder plays
we'll opposite Emile Lindley as Cap
tain Horace Vale. Lee Dunlap as
Achille Blond and Alton Markley as
Isidore will find favor In their char
acter parts.

hoff in the rather difficult servant
roles of Popham and Wyke; re-
spectively, do clever work Merrill
Head, the pompous official who
rescues Mrs. Paskett from her plight,
is convincing. Other parts in the
cast are well carried by d. s. Jacob
sen, as Wormington; Lawrence La
yeen as Sergeant Lugg: Harold Nor
gan as Inspector Messitor and Harold
Roberts as Constable Harris.
Miss Melcena LaFollette is direct
ing the play and she and others in
terested in the production are aiming
to make it one of the best ever seen
on the campus. Merrill Davis, pro-
perty manager, has made arrange
ments with a Seattle firm to secure
new stage furnishings and costumes.
A new system of lighting is also be-
ing worked out, which win add much
to the artistic effect. 1t was devised
by G. w. Allen, stage director.
Mask and Dagger members in col
lege who are sponsoring the play are
Leona Doerr, Dorothy Chamberiin,
Erna Bradbury and Holly Schweer.

benjamin +. Taylor, aged "a years
b and Pullman's oldest pioneer, sue
cumbed at his home on Sunnyside
s hill early Wednesday morning, death
being due to senile decay. Mr.. Tay-
81 Tor came west from Iowa in 1870,
stopping few months in California,
then continuing his Journey to Ore
gon, where he resided for three
IS years. In 1873 he came to Whitman
county and located the I60-acre
homestead, which he retained until
his death, four miles west Of Pull
man. That was four years before
the late d. G. Mckenzie, the father"
& OF Pullman, homesteaded the present
site Of Pullman and eight years be-
81 fore the first mercantile venture was
launched here. Only the year pre-
~ vious had the boundary lines of
Whitman county been established by
the territorial legislature, and the
entire Palouse country was a rolling
mass of bunchgrass, with homestead
ers four and five miles apart and the
u Indian scares still prevalent.
The first year in Whitman county
Mr.. Taylor turned 10 acres and plant
81 &c to wheat, securing a yield of 35
bushels to the acre, he being one of
the earliest discoveries" of the re-
markable grain possibilities of the
8 Palouse soil. He was the first farm
er in Whitman county, it is claimed,
who plowed the hills ON his farm, the
81 other early day settlers confirming
their operations to the bottom lands
and retaining the hills for pasturage.
thirty cents was the average price
received for wheat during the first
Few years of Mr.. Taylor's farming
activities, and the remoteness from
market, coupled with the inadequate
farming facilities available, made the
venture of the early homesteaders
anything but profitable. Ten dol
iars per acre was the top price of pri-
Vately owned farm land, the same
iand now being priced as high as
1925 per acre.
The Taylor farm has produced,
curing the 46 years since it was
nomesteaded, approximately 35 crops
OF wheat and other cereals, and is
q stlll In a high state of productivity.
During the first two years of his
residence near Pullman Mr.. Taylor
was forced to drive to Waitsburg for
MS Hour and many other supplies,
mat being the nearest trading post.
In the early days of Whitman
couhty's history MIR. Taylor gained
tne sobriquet Thousand Springs
Iaylor,' his homestead being blessed
with numerous flowing springs, and
w this name he was known to many
early settlers.
The deceased was born in Rich
lano county, Ohio, September II,
1908. He grew to manhood there
ana was educated in the public
ssnoois' AT the age of 90 years he
went TO Cedar county, Iowa, where

enae capacity until August 10. 1861,

I PAGL|ACC|" PLEASES
AUDIENCE At BELASCO

The presentation of II Pagliacci," at
the Belasco Theater last evening by
the Community Opera Company. under
the auspices of the War Camp Com
munity Service, was an interesting
demonstration of the possibilities of
local talent in the higher field of opera.
The work was given in Italian by a
cast of five principals. chorus of
nearly ninety voices and an orchestra
of fifty pieces.
Although an adequate production of
this difficult opera is not to be expect
ed except from a cast and chorus of
the highest professional standards.
the performance last evening was
creditable in many respects, of edu
cative value to those participating
and. in the main, satisfying to the
audience. The excellence of the en-
semble was particularly noticeable
throughout, the voices well balanced,
the attack good and the dramatic &C
ton we'll sustained.
Miss Mabel Coldenstroth. as Media.
displayed vocal attainments, histri-
onic skill and a charm of manner
which won frequent applause.
Leopold Glushak. as Canio, gave the
role of the unhappy clown in good
style and with a fine dramatic climax
and was recalled after the famous
