deliberately and after full knowledge
of the consequences of his act and by
the solemnity of his oath renowned
the very act which was the founda-

rested, surrendered his declaration of
intention and declared that by so
doing he knew he was forever de-
barred from being citizen-forever

any act be more conclusive of his bad

This case has attracted great deal
of attention in this state as it is the
first case of this character that has
been taken to court. Final decision
of it will determine the status of the
other cases. Recent statistics COM
piled by the government show that

YELM DRAFT EvADER
WILL APPEAL CASE
JUDGE WILSON CPHOLDS STATE
IN SUIT TO ESCHEAT
RYCHEN FARM,

Aliens who cancelled their decla-
ration to become a citizen of the
United States to evade the draft will
not be allowed to hold property in
the state of Washington, if the opin-
ion handed down this week by Judge
John M. Wilson of the local superior
court is upheld by the higher courts.
The case was that of the state of
Washington versus Jacob Rychen and
c. Zurchmeide, dairy farmers of
Yelm.
The case will be promptly appealed
to the state supreme court and If nee
essary to the supreme court of the
United States, p. M. Troy and Geo.
F. Yantis. attorneys for Rychen,
state. The appeal will be taken on
the ground that the state constitu-
ton permits aliens who in good faith
have declared their intention to be-
come citizens, to acquire property;
that Rychen did so four or five years
before the war, thereby legally OBJ
tanning vested right which cannot
now be escheated: and that to escheat
his property to the state is to take it
away from him without due process
of law.
The state charged that Rychen can
celled his first papers to evade mill
tary service and that because of this
action he had not made his declara-
ton for citizenship in good faith and
therefore he could not hold the land.
The case against Zurchmeide was
dismissed but Judge Wilson ruled
that the state can take over Rychen's
interest in the farm at Yelm and use
the land for the benefit OF the school
fund. The two men. who are Swiss.
bought the farm jointly and it is said
to be worth about $500.
In his opinion Judge Wilson states
the facts in the case to be:
Jacob Rychen, a citizen and a
subject of Switzerland, declared his
intention to become a citizen of the
United States on December 10, 1912,
but never became naturalized. There
after the defendant became the rec.
ord owner, together with the defend
ant, Zurchmeide, Of the real property
described in the complaint and has
been in the possession and made i'm.
provements thereon until the present
time the property now being of the
value Of about $4,000.
ION the 3Oth day of September.
1918, when defendant (Rychen) was
called upon to fill out his question
naire under the selective draft laws
and regulations. he requested to be
relieved from liability from military
service by withdrawing his intentions
to become a citizen of the United
States upon the conditions named in
the Act of Congress in that regard
viz: That said withdrawal should
be held to cancel his declaration OF
intention to become a citizen and
therefore debar him from becoming
a citizen OF the United States"
In the latter part of his opinion
Judge Wilson says: "He chose not

ARMY MEN BRING
NEW IDEAS ON
STOCK FEEDING

!. : !. !. = :. = + 1. !: !. !. !. !. !. !.
During the war enlisted men from
American farms learned several
things from European counties
about intensive farming. Returning,
they brought ideas which have since
been exploited to the profit of Amer
lean agriculturaiists in general.
Among other things they learned
how the butter and cheese exporting
countries of Europe-Belgium, Swift.
zerland. Denmark and Holland
have been so highly successful in
feeding mich cows and fattening
livestock for market. These coun-
tries have long been using enormous
quantities of cocoanut meal for this
purpose-the residue of cocoanuts
after their oil has been extracted for
commercial purposes.
The Palmolive Company, manufac-
turers of well-known. high grade
soap containing cocoanut oil. have
lately put on the market a stock food
called Kaola Meal, which they man.
ufacture from the white meat of CO.
coanuts after the oil for the soap has
been extracted. Being a by-product,
Kaola Meal is offered cheap to the
consumer in comparison with other
fattening foods, and it has proved
highly effective where it has been
given in quantities amounting to 25
per cent of the regular grain diet of
calves, sheep, poultry and pigs. 1t
is also an unfailing milk-producer.
Moreover soldier-farmers are begin
ming to copy the example of the
French war department, which found
that cocoanut meal was better for
their horses than oats, and they now
feed Kaola to farm horses.
Farm animals nowadays are de.
veloping tastes for fancy. high grade,
imported foods, almost equivalent to
the whims of human beings for deli
cacies in their diet. But when such
foods are productive of a condition
in their animals far superior to that
of old-time livestock which used to
plug along on the same old grain
and grass ration the whole year
through, farmers find these foods are
much more desirable for their stock
and profitable. too, when the fat
tener is so inexpensive as Kaola
Meal.
