The old Family Album


w. klRkPAIHICK was born In
the state Of Tennessee. and did
not come TO Texas until he had grown
to manhood and even fatherhood. for
he brought his family with him when
he came here eight years ago.
He was born in Ripley. western
I Tennessee, on November Is, 1854. and
was educated and grew to manhood
in that section OF the country
IN his early life. after he had
ceased 20 have ambitions to be a rail-
road conductor or an engineer, and
all the other things q country boy
aspires to, he decided that he would
( be lawyer and he studied law at
school, but he found that deciding TO
be a lawyer and being a lawyer are
different things He graduated In
The law and he could talk enough TO
be two lawyers. but he just didn't
Ike the Job, so couldn't be one.
After practicing at the profession
for a time and dabbling in business
meantime, and making some money
from his business dabblings. he came
TO FL Paso for a visit TO his brother
inlaw. i. @. Perry. in 1910.
While here he became convinced
that the real estate and building

but during the first few months OF
his FL Paso residence he lost more

decided 10 buy a car apiece. believing
that II they could get a quick means

cheaply as possible. they got to look

IF you are forgetful or absent

crystal gazing
Roger Bacon. probably the most
brilliant man Of the thirteenth cen

crystal gazing. Napoleon often con
suited a server.
There is really nothing SO mystic
about crystal gazing After focusing
the eye on the bright surface OF a

the sensorium Impression made from
without. and begins 10 respond TO

An English authoress OF note IS

Aided by this suggestion she would
be able 20 resume her composition
and successfully terminate her story.
A well known New York lady tells
me that she was once advised TO Try

she had psychic powers She did so
for two years, although she was
never convinced Of her psychic pow

found that by concentration she had
been able TO better her understanding
Of herself and that her health was
notably improved.

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 2S 1919.
MANY SEED OYSTERS ON
RESERVE NEAR SHELTON
State Expects to SeH More Than 5000
Sacks-Nfay Not Open Cliff
ton Beds.

More than 5000 sacks of seed oys
ters will be taken off the states re-
serve in Oakland bay. near Shelton,
during the coming season. Hereto
fore the highest yield this reserve
has made has been 2,2OO sacks.
The big increase in the reserves
production Is due. to the completion
of diking system that now covers
between IL and 13 acres. Six years
ago but an acre and half were diked
and because of the shortage of money
in the oyster fund it has been diff
cult to increase the acreage under
cultivation.
It is improbable that the Clifton
reserve will be opened for longing
this year. Approximately the same
acreage is diked at Clifton that is
cultivated at Oakland bay, but the
states work is not so far advanced
as 1t is in the vicinity of Shelton. The
Clifton reserve was practically de-
pleted when the diking work was
started and 1t has required consider
able time to restore the oyster crop
Of tho state.
The states reserves are used pri-
maIily for the purpose Of providing
seed oysters for oyster growers
though a limited quantity has been
sold to the trade.

Secretary Of Interior Hopes Next
Congress Will Adopt Set :
tlement Plan.

Although congress adjourned with
out bringing to a vote the proposed
legislation which, IL enacted into
law, would have made 1t possible for
the Department of the Interior to be-
gin work Immediately on the con-
struction of soldier-settlements and
provide work and homes for thou
sands of returned soldiers, sailors,
and marines on reclaimed land, the
fact that the bill was favorably re-
ported in both the house and senate
and the nationwide approval of the
plan as evidenced by the hundreds
Of letters of endorsement received
daily at the department, have led
Secretary Lane to take the stand that
there is every reason to believe that
q similar bill will be favorably con-
sidered at the coming special session
OF congress.
He is accordingly continuing the
preliminary work of investigation as
far as the limited funds at his dos.
posal will permit, and is also en-,
deavoring to ascertain for the infor-
nation of congress the attitude to-
ward the plan of as many men In the

URGES MEMORIAL TREES.
Acting Governor Offers Suggestion in
ArbOr Day Proclamation.

The planting of memorial trees
along public highways. each bearing
the name of a fallen soldier, is urged
by Acting Governor Hart in a procla-
nation issued Tuesday, fixing April
II as the date for the celebration of
Arbor Day this year.
"In many ways the people will
seek to perpetuate the memory OF
those who made the supreme sacri-
fice," the proclamation says. costly
memorials will take form and the
names of those who have fallen will
be inscribed on enduring tablets. But
with all these forms of memorials,
why may we not simply and sponta.
neously pay a tribute to them? We
can do this by adorning with young
trees, each named for a fallen SOL
dier, our waysides, our yards and
our parks"

Assurance that up to the present
time the shipyard wage adjustment
conference now in session in Wash

action, and that the report that an
agreement had been reached to con-
tinue the Macy wage scale in effect
until October l, was premature, to
say the least, was received from Off.
cial sources by shipyard workers this
week.
The denial of the reported agree
ment to continue the Macy scale for
another six months came from George
Wiley, delegate of the local Metal
Trades Council, who is in attendace
at the conference. Willey's telegram
indicated that there had been nc
action whatever except the formal

government recently stopped work,
has developed that they are more

II Is said that their Investigations
have shown that most of the ma
chinery and other equipment, sore the
boats have been bought and paid for
and are in the yard. and the opinion
is that In view of this fact the cor
poration will reconsider its action
and order therompletion of the ships.
It is known that quite number OF
men who were laid off two weeks ago
when the cancellations were received
have been advised not to pull their
union cards or take away their tools,
as they would be put back to work
again In short time. Some OF the
carpenters, 1t is said, expect 20 &c
