A HUMAN DYNAM
VIM. S. Harris Wonderful Personality
Radiates Utter Confidence for
Most Daring Feats of
BuckarOOs.

1t has often been said that VIM. s.
Harris success in his portrayal of the
Western dramas is due to the person
al attention which he gives to-. each
production; and that his personality
affects every one of his supporting
cast.
A wonderful example of this an
trait is shown in "Thc Bandit and the
Preacher" which will be shown at the
Grand Monday and Tuesday, October
Is and 10, wherein response is evi-
denced by all concerned. His siren
uousness throughout the entire
drama seems like an epidemic-it is
catching. The work of the chuck
eroos" in the final scene, the greatest
ever screened, is the result of the deep
confidence which Hart instilled into
them.

.. The pay of all other trades
and professions has been advanced
from IS per cent to 200 per cent
while that of our state elective of
ficers has remained the same
TO- Since their jurisdiction is co.
extensive to the entire state. and
their duties increase with the growth
OF the state, their remuneration
should surely equal that Of one Of
the subdivisions.
II. The salaries of two Of the
elective officers and the Supreme
Court are unlimited by the constitu-
ton and have already beer raised t.

rs a discrimination against Tie other
seven, unless this amendment is rati-
fed.
~. It is poor economy to hol,F
down the wages of the highest ad
ministrative officers in the state.
10. Higher salaries will attract
the best men for the jobs.
II. The total amount required i,
so small that no increase in the tax
levy will be necessary. Measured As
other taxes are. however, it rela.e

IMPORTANT REASONS.

Why the 1919 legislature proposed
an amendment to Art III Of the
State Constitution relating to saIar-
les of elective state officers and
recommended that it be ratified by
the voters next November Onfor-
nation prepared from Official Rec
ords of the State):
/. The salaries Of state elective
officers were fixed according to con
ditions Of 1899, when the constitu-
ton was adopted, 81 years ago.
Statistics show that their duties
and responsibilities are now more
than five times as heavy as at that
time.
g. Their salaries are lower than
90 less important appointive state of
ficials of Washington now receive.
4. Their pay is less than that Of
the deputies of King County.
5. Their pay is less than that Of
the subordinate officers Of the city Of
Seattle.
6. Their pay is less than the state
officers of IS other states receive.
7. Their pay is less than that Of
school principles Of many small
cities.
Their salaries are worth only 10
per cent of what they were even -four
years ago.

MARKET LETTER.

SEATTLE, Oct. 12.-Conditions
are not suspicious for strong or ac-
tive potato market, and unless brisk
eastern demand sets in to stabilize
the market many growers will take q
loss on their early offerings. General
bid prices in the Yakima Valley are
SCOOPS per ton, and, while these are
apparently ridiculous on the basis O,
costs of production, they are all buy
ers are willing to pay and take the
chances of getting out whole. Grow
ers are demanding S3OM33 per ton
and as a consequence only a few cars
are being sold.
Wheat growers of Washington and
Idaho, members of the Washington
Wheat Growers Association, are
holding 100000 bushels of wheat IT,
warehouses awaiting market of
$3.50 per blu. or more
The local butter market is firm with
an advance threatened An advance
was expected Monday morning but it
failed to appear. With the cannery
plants closed dealers believe that con
denseries will now use the milk in but
ter making and as result an ove!.-
supply may appear at any time.
Light receipts caused an advance
in the egg market during the week
and iobbers expect another advance
before the prices reach the turn. The
market is glutted with poultry and
cold storage alone saved a slump in
PRICES.

Development of
A Normal Baby

An inexperienced mother is often
at loss to know whether her baby
is properly thriving and may be un-
duly alarmed at small matters, or
may not understand the serious ma
ture of certain conditions. The best
indications Of a perfectly healthy
baby are steady gain in weight and
quiet, peaceful sleep. If baby shows
fretfulness, sleeplessness, gas or sour
stomach, or is inclined to constipa-
ton, it should have attention.
Most of the baby's troubles come
from improper assimilation of food,
resulting in Indigestion. This leads
to faulty elimination, and of course,
baby doesn't develop properly. When
these symptoms occur, a good baby
laxative will generally suffice, but
great care should be exercised not to
give baby strong, irritating drugs
that will set up inflammation in the
delicate membrane of baby's stom-
ach.
One of the best laxatives for babies
is Baby Ease" a perfected prepara-
ton by a baby specialist, that is easy
acting, non-irritating, does not pro
duce over-action or leave baby con-
stlpated. It is a safe. harmless and
efficient laxative and corrective. If
baby does not improve after a few
doses, take him to physician. Ask
your druggist for "Baby Ease"

BRONWOOD wins
LOOSE CONTEST
Outlaws, Not Yet In
Form, Lose First
Game AS

Americas and Bronwood played a
comedy ball game at the munlclpal
playground diamond yesterday aItsI-
noon with more than two hundred
amused spectators present. Inc
game was the first played by the re-
organized Americas outfit, and the
loose PLAYING was due In great meas.
ure to a lock of practice on the part OF
PLAYERS, as well as the tact that
7'Red" Smith, who started hurting
for the locals, blew up IN the hEsC
and was batted freely during me
whole time he remained on the
mound.
The Bronwood boys put in one OF
the three Hollands they brought with
them, and he pitched a good game,
though he yielded 10 hits to Amerl-
Gus batters and made 3 errors fumb-
ing every chance that came his way
IN addition, Holland hit Randolph
twice, while only one Americas bat
ter was famed. J. Holland, who
played behind the bat got away with
out an error, besides rapplng on
Smiths delivery for three safeties.
Brentwood began the run-gettlng
in the first when heavy hitting cou-
pied with a couple of errors result
ed IN four men passing over the brok-
en- marble that serves as the home
rubber, and the visitors repeated this
performance in the second. In the
third they let up little only two
runners being showed across, and in
the fourth they failed to score at all.
In the ffth they got busy again and
two Bronwood uniforms made the
circuit on a combination of hits and
errors, while in the sixth one more
run was garnered. In the eighth
Bronwood scored again, and this end
ed the run-getting for the visitors.
Smith retired at the beginning of
the seventh, just as the visitors were
preparing for a batting rally, and
their batsmen were unable to con-
meet with Balls delivery, the first
three men up striking out
Americas pushed one man across
in the first, Payne getting on after
hitting a Texas Lacquer over sec
ond. He stole second and went to
third on error. He was brought in
by Gatewood's hit, and that was the
only score recorded for the home
team until the lucky seventh" when
Finley scored on a hit, steal and
a tumble. In the eighth Americas
pushed another runner over, and
