DEBATES ON BAPTISM
ATTRACT BIG AUDIENCES

Most interesting and unusual were
the debates last Sunday afternoon
and evening at the Christian church
on the subject of baptism. The
church was well filled both after
noon and evening to hear Rev. G.
r. Schlauch and Rev. E. H. Stayt
argue this question, which has al
ways been a live issue in theological
circles. The fine spirit which pre-
vailed at the sessions was a pleasant
feature Of the debates.
Rev. l. E. Metcalf presided at the
debate. The question in the after
noon was Resolved: That Christ's
command to baptize was command
to immerse." Rev. Schlauch had the
affirmative side of the question and
Rev. Stayt, the negative. In the
evening the question was Resolved:
That the scriptures do not teach
that baptism is by immersion and
immersion only" and the affirmative
was upheld by Rev. Stayt, while Rev.
Schlauch had the negative side of
the debate.

PEST CLEANING
ON FARMS
CAMPAIGN STARTS AGAINST
SQUIRRELS-$40O SPENT
FOR POISON
County Agent Says All Must Aid
In Fight-Pest Control Bill
Big Help

Stevens county farmers are push
ing their squirrel campaign hard.
The spring offensive against these
intruders has begun in earnest, ac-
cording to the county agriculturist,
E. c. Durdle, who states that since
Saturday, March 15, his office has
taken in over $40O to buy ingredi-
ents for squirrel poison.
Farmers Quick to Respond
The agriculturist's office has sent
out 1900 circular letters to farmers
of the county in regard to the drive
against these pests and the response
shows the determination of the farm
interests to rid themselves of squir-
rels. The poison is to be mixed by
Mr.. Durdle, who will later have. the
assistance of Professor Scheffer and
another man from the Washington
State college. Each farmer pays
$3.50 to buy the strychnine and sac
charine to be used with bushel of
oats and also furnishes the soda and
flour for the mixture. A bushel of
oats mixed with the correct amount
of poison, is said to be sufficient for
80 acres of badly infested property.
The first mixing of the poison will
probably take place in Colville the
last of this week and the most en-
terprising of the farmers will begin
the fight on their sectors.
Everybody must help in this
fight" states Mr.. Durdle, "for it is
only through combined effort that
any pronounced success can be at
tanned. Those who live on the edges
Of the town should help too. They
may not have much land, but they
should keep that clear. l would
suggest that several of these people
near the edge of the city limits
combine to buy some of this poison,
dividing the expense, which would be
small"
Johnson's Bill Helps
The pest control bill which was
introduced by Senator W. Lon John
son in the recent session of the state
legislature and passed with almost
unanimous vote in both houses,
means that the farmer is to have
some real ammunition in his fight
against squirrels and other pests
making inroads on crops. Senator
johnson secured an appropriation Of
$4,000 to be used for the state
lands in pest districts formed under
this new system. This means that
the work of the farmer on his prop
erty will not be destroyed because
idle state lands nearby are over-run
with squirrels.
Before this year, the extermina-
tion Of squirrels was a sporadic
movement and there was no COM
bined effort to get real results. This
year it was taken up by the newly
organized Farm Bureau association
of Stevens county and made the
leading project upon which the
farmers are working.

ner won her many friends at the
capital. Their daughter Doris at
tracted much attention by her musi-
cal ability, which is considered re-
markable for her seven years. She
played the piano at several informal
affairs during their stay in Olympia.
Among the benefits secured for
Stevens county by it's representa-
tion was the appropriation of $780,
600 and the reapportionment of the
amount not expended during the last
biennium for the Inland Empire high
way. This means a total of about
$180,000 for this highway. Senator
johnson stated on his return that it
was almost certain that the same
amount would be added in federal
aid, and on Thursday of this week
received telegram stating that this
would be done. An appropriation
of $4,000 was also secured for state
road number 20 from Meyers Falls
south along the Columbia. 1t is
thought that the Inland Empire
highway can be completed to the in
ternational boundary line by the
next session of the legislature.
Squirrels received their death
blow with the almost unanimous
passage in both houses of Senator
Johnson's pest control bill. The Sc
curing Of an appropriation of $1O,-
600 to be used for state lands COM
ing within the pest districts, is con-
sidered an important part of this
law, as the state lands will not en-
danger other property near by be-
ing over-run with squirrels.
The fight waged by Senator john
son against porkbarrel legislation
which had it's climax in bills for the
establishment of armories in Everett,
Aberdeen, Walla Walla, Colfax and
Wenatchee, saved the state some
100000 and also put Stevens coun-
ty and Colville on the map. The
story of how the Colville senator
suggested an armory for Colville,
where it would be as appropriate as
the Smith building of Seattle, ac-
cording to the Post-Intelligencer of
that city, in order to cure the legis-
lators of a bad case of armoritis, is
now familiar throughout the state.
What seemed to please Senator
Johnson as much as anything in his
work at Olympia was telegram
which he received from the King
county Pomona grange, which was
as follows: "The organized farm
ers of King county hereby express
their appreciation of the valuable
service rendered by you in securing
passage of senate bill 1T, and bust
ing the machine. Will be doubly

RED CROSS ASK
FOR CLOTHES
FROM MARCH 24-29
FOR RELIEF OF SUFFERING
IN EUROPE
Local Branch Given Quota of 1000
POunds-DOes Not Want
Ball Gowns

The third collection of used and
surplus clothing by the Red Cross
is to take place between March "a
and 20, in every chapter and branch
of the organization. Previous col
lections were made for the Belgian
relief committee, which distributed
the garments on the other side of
the water. This collection is made
by the Red Cross under it's own
auspices and the American Red Cross
will be responsible for the shipment
and distribution of the garments.
Every garment will prevent actual
suffering. This collection is for all
the distressed and suffering war
stricken people of Europe, except
the central powers.
Every kind of garment is needed"
states Mrs. l.. G. Keller, local chair
man, "and in addition, piece goods,
ticking, sheeting, blankets and wool
en- goods of every kind are needed.
Light warm canton flannel and other
kinds of cloth from which to make
garments for new born babies is
one of the urgent needs. Shoes of
every size are needed"
1t is announced that useless gar
ments and miscellaneous articles not
needed are those of fimsy material.
The clothes will be subjective to the
heaviest kind Of wear, so only gar
ments of strong and durable ma
terials should be sent. 1t has been
specifically requested not to send
ball dresses, flimsy dresses, high
hats, straw hats, derby hats, trim
mings for hats, feathers, umbrellas,
mattresses, clocks, glassware, car
pets, toys, collars, neckties, shoe
trees, crutches, canes, parasols, pill
lows, crockery, rugs, or foodstuffs in
this collection.
While garments should be of
strong and durable material, it is
stated that they need not be in per-
feet condition and the women have
been asked not to mend them as
there are thousands Of women in
Europe who can make small but
self respecting wage by mending
them or making them over into gar
ments more suited to their own
countries. The time that would be
used to mend these garments should
be used to devise ways and means
of increasing the collection.
Two thousand pounds of old cloth
ing is the quota for the Colville
branch and members are urging
everyone to take live interest in
the drive. If the distressed people
of Europe can be relieved through
a small effort on the part Of Ameri-
cans, it would be disgrace not to
make this effort and contribute some
surplus clothing. Clothing may be
left at the Red Cross rooms or at
the Keller Hardware store from
Monday to Saturday.
Knitters are needed by the Red
Cross and those who will do this
work are asked to communicate with
Mrs. George Thomas. There is also
sewing to be done and materials
may be obtained from Mrs. Joe
Dupuis.

1t may be said at the very outset
that the objects of the abduction were
Lady Mary's grandchildren-the very
youthful girl and boy Of her only son,
the late Col. George Everard Hope OF
Luffness; that the Plaintiff was the
children's mother, the widow of the
Colonel, and that the Court of SEES
sions at Edinburgh not only ratified
the action of Lady Mary in whisking
off the children from E;astbournc. on
the south coast of England, but con-
firmed her in the care and custody OF
the youngsters. depriving the mother
of any further share of their guard
ianship or even of access to them;
Mrs. George Everard Hope bitterly
protested against the decision OF the
court and insisted in vain that Lady
Mary, her mother-in-law, was united
by impaired faculties due to DID age
to have charge of children. She also
contended that she had become an OBJ

members of her husbands family by
reason of her political activities.
