PULLMAN FIELDS ARE
YIELDING WELL


With the grain harvest in the vi
cinity of Pullman well under way and
many yields already reported on
which to base judgment, a predic-
ton of yield close to 80 bushels
per acre for fall and spring wheat ap-
pears to be a conservative one, al
though some farmers claim that these
figures are a trifle high. Fred C.
Densow, local grain buyer who has
made close study of the situation,
predicts that fall wheat, which is in
the majority in this vicinity. this
year, will average between 80 and
35 bushels to the acre, while spring
wheat will run from % to 25 bushels,
a joint average of close to 80 bushels.
If this prediction is borne out by
actual yields, as it undoubtedly will
be, the farmers of the Pullman dis
trict will receive more money, by
far, for their wheat this year than
ever before in the history of Whit
man county.-Pullman Herald.

ST. THOMAS PICKS UP
American Port Regains Former
Marine Standing.
improvements Slow During tho War,
but Ships Are Now Calling
Regularly.

st. Thomas, Virgin Islands.-Thi!
American port is beginning to regai1
some of its former maritime impor
lance. Owing to the war, improve
ments in this direction have been slow
since the Virgin Islands were pur
chased from Denmark but now, after
considerable agitation by business meI
of ST. Thomas, American steamers are
beginning to call here. This is the
result Of representations which have
been made to Washington in behalf OF
the inhabitants of the islands.
The Islanders feel that American
steamship owners, and especially the
shipping board at Washington, have
| heretofore overlooked the facilities Of
4 the hafDor of ST. Thomas for provtd-
ing coal, fuel oil, and other stores.
While few American steamers have
been calling at st. Thomas for sup
plies, many have called at the neigh
boring British islands, where facilities
are not considered as good as here.
The price Of coal is cheaper at st.
Thomas than at the British islands,
To bring this matter before the ship
ping board and to obtain all the help
possible from the American people and
congress, meeting of the inhabitants
of the Virgin island was held here.
Resolutions were adopted calling the
attention of the shipping board to the
facilities of the port, such as pier
1900 feet long with thirty one feet of
water alongside and all up-to-date ap-
pliances for the quick dispatch of yes
sells wanting coal, water, fuel oil and
other Storess
The resolution was carried to Wash
ington by Darwin O. Curry, collector
of customs, who laid 1t before the ship
ping board. Mr.. Curry has since re-
turned and reports that that board,
members Of congress, ana American
business men have promised to do all
they can for the island.
Another oil depot is being erected
here to meet increased demands. The
people of ST. Thomas believe it pos
sRsses far better facilities than most
other West India islands, and are de-
termined to make known it's available |
ty as port of call for supplying |
steamers.

My Dear Editor.-You must know
that / have not forgotten my promis
to you that I would write you some
thing of our trip. | intended to writ,
often along the way but my wife ant
! daughters pushed me through to-
! fast so here at the terminus | say {
few words.
We registered $500 miles on oul
trip. But. of course we did not come
direct. We went through south Idaho
and then to Yellowstone park ant
on to Missouri We found the park
wonderful and beyond description il
this short letter. We had nice visit
with friends and relatives on the
way.
We had no car trouble and I am
convinced that the Oakland Sensible
Six is the greatest car for the money
on the market today We averaged
better than 20 miles per gallon of
gasoline on the entire trip and we
certainly had some bad roads and
great mountains. No car passed us
on the way unless it was our desire
but we passed many.

Worth and Texas Christian Univer-
sity. Fort Worth is a great city with
its streets thronged with optimistic
people. We had plenty Of rain here
and the crops are fine. The city is
overrun with people from most every
where. We have not as yet been able
to secure house for rent. Prices are
so high we do not want to buy if we
can help it and labor is so scarce and
high that you cannot build. We have
not decided as yet what we will do for
a place to live but think we will
erect a temporary garage and serv-
ants house for this winter and then
build nice home next summer.
Texas Christian University is
great and beautiful Institution and the
work in the department of oratory
and dramatic art is very promising
and am quite sure will be happy in
my work. We have great faculty
of IS noted educators from all parts
of the country.
On my first Sunday in the city /
was invited to fill the pulpit of one of
our city churches on recommendation
Of the president Of the university. I
was Loyalty and enthusiastically re-
:eived and by unanimous voice Of
the official board / was desired for
their pastor at salary of $1,000 but
If course my position in the univer-
sity would not permit me to accept.
Then the next step was to call me
~ unanimous vote to become their
supply pastor and preach for them
IN Sunday and will give to them
what time have during the week.
So at present | will serve in this ca
oacity in connection with my univer-
'ity work.
My daughters are delighted as well |
'ver their educational advantages
lere. My daughter Portia will attend
| new and very extensive and ex-
'ensive school which has been erected
or seniors only and is known as the
senior High School.
There is also a great field for the

der. He told me that he knew nothing
Of the Pentad, and he was rather in
clined to sneer at luck In general. But
he told me that his company, which
was the Fifth, was very lucky, and day
after day the men had many narrow
escapes from death or wounds. The
company, In fact, had lost only 10 men
out of $50, while the Second company
had lost much larger proportion. He
also told me that the No. IS was con-
sidered by them lucky number, and
most of the men in the Fifth company,
curiously enough had 10 in their regi-
mental numbers, his own number be-
ing 51327.
ION one occasion, after lecturing to
some men from New Zealand and Aus
tralia, 1 was entertained for the night
and put up in an officers hut. Before
turning in l chatted over the subject
of folklore and soldiers mascOts with
four officers. One of the officers told
me that he carried a charm, and l said
/ would like to know what it was. 1t
turned out to be simply a Swastika,
which was apparently new to him, and
he was glad to hear more about it.
The second officer took from his pocket
small cross of grotesque form, which,
he informed me, was his mascot. The
third officer laughingly added, "Well,
need not show you mine, because it is
only piece of coal, wrapped in a little
bag which | brought over from Aus
tralia." The fourth (and this to my
establishment, being the highest pos
sible'D said, 81 also have a mascot, but
/ regret to say that / don't intend to
show it to you. I won't even tell you
what it is because it would spoil my
luck" Nothing I could say would in
duce him to alter his decision. His was
the most superstitious case of all.
1.-THE commonest charms among the |
soldiers of France and Belgium are
made of aluminium and copper frag-
ments of German shells. 1t is consid-
cred that If you wear piece Of an
enemy's projectile it inoculates you
against future danger from such
sources. In Italy the men wore the
Kinds of charms and amulets which

many generations-even centuries, /
nay say. They consist chiefly of phal-
ic emblems, and may be seen by thou

What the Germans Wear.
II have number Of examples of
'erman charms, some of which were

theirs were collected by myself in Ger

UGH a people, and consist largely of

re grossly vulgar and offensive. An

the wearers by their mothers or sis
rs, but in few cases had the charm
