BROUGHT STRIKERS TO TERMS
african Explorer Put His Wits to Bear
In Controversy With obstrep-
erous Paddlers.

Although the plan is not capable of
wide application, the tale of strike
in central Africa, told by an exploring
member of the English Royal Anthro-
biological institute. is pleasant reading
Tor the promptnesS with which the
matter was settled. The explorer was
Journeying by water and, coming to
an African village where he needed a
new relay of paddlers, he found that
oil the available paddlers had Struck"
not for higher wages but against any
padding whatever. The expedition
was held up, and the men who refused
TO paddle stood apart and evidently
considered the plight of tie explorer
a matter of considerable unsympa-
thetic amusement. The explorer. how
ever, thought he saw way out. He
asked some Of the women of the VII
lage to come aboard his boat and sell
him food; and as soon as several Of
them were on board he unfastened the
hawser, the boat swung out from the
shore and began TO travel with the
followed. Presently the men who had
refused to paddle the explorer were
padding their own little canoes in
pursuit and volubly demanding the
return TO their womenfolk. The larger
craft, and presumably the armament,
of the traveller gave him an advantage.
He was able to issue an ultimatum.
No women, he said in effect, without
paddlers but one woman for every
man of the tribe who would agree to
help paddle the expedition through the
next stage. The men accepted the
bargain; and as there were some
thirty women on the boat the expedi-
ton got its necessary complement of
paddlers and the strike was over.

Bones for the Tuberculoua.

Bones as a diet for human beings
may sound rather strange, but in cases
OF tuberculosis Doctor Berthier OF
Paris has found them highly beneficial.
1t is the spongy or cancellous parts OF
veal bones that he uses. These are
about one-half ossein, which is laden
with phosphates and carbonates OF
lime, these salts being much needed
by tuberculous persons, who always
suffer from rehabilitation.
Doctor Berthier describes in bull
letin of the Academic de Medicine
how he prepares the bones. lie Sc
lects the short, spongy bones, splits
them, boiIs them with vegetables, salt
and piece Of meat for almost SIX
hours and then let's his patients PICK
out with their forks as much OF the
soft bony matter as they can.
Another benefit derived from the
bones Is that they help TO prevent de-
cav of the teeth.

This shows that the amount paid
per pupil for maintenance in our dis
trict is about $14 below the median
amount paid for maintenance in the
larger districts of the county. This
indicates that our expense is too low
to assure the best returns.
The most serious problem that
faces the nation at the present time
is the enormous increase in the cost
OF living during the last three years.
This increased cost enters into the
problem of financing the public
schools in a most vital manner as ii
affects directly the salaries that
must be paid to teachers. The most
conservative estimate made by the
government is that living costs have
doubled since the opening of the
war. This means that man who
earns SO per cent more now than he
did in the pre-war period has had a
reduction of salary. While salaries
in all lines have advanced material
~ in the last three years, the sal
aries of teachers have advanced but
u per cent throughout the country.
AS result of the low salary scale
throughout the country many teach
ers have gone into other lines while
young men and women are not en-
tering the normal schools to prepare
for teaching. Last September a
study of the teacher problem by the
National Educational association re-
vealed the fact that practically 10
per cent of the teaching positions in
the country were filled at that time
by persons who we're below the
standard set by law for teachers. At

To Stick Labels on Glass.

The Druggists Circular and Chemi'
cal Gazette says that mucilage OF trag-
aeanth is a satisfactory agent. The
mucilage is made by pouring over he
gum enough water to littl$sa1@e man
cover il. and then, as the gsas~S~"eiis'
adding more water from time to time
In small portions until the mucilage
is brought TO such consistency that
II NAV he easily spread with a brush.
II the labels are OF thick paper, per
haps -four paste might be better. Dex'
trine dissolved In cold water makes u
tenacious paste. Its OdOr, however Is
not particularly agreeable.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1920-01-16

the same time it was found that
about six per cent of the teaching
positions had not been filled. This
means that there were $4,000 teach
ers in the schools of the United
States below standard and $4,000
schools without teachers. In our
own state a large number of permits
have been granted to persons who
are below the legal standard.
This matter of teacher shortage
affects this district directly as it
means that salaries must be in
creased for the coming year if the
schools are to continue to be as eff
tlcient as they have been in the past
Since the most conservative estimate
is that cost of living has increased
100 per cent while other authorities
place it at 80 per cent, it is evident
that the teachers salaries which
have been increased but about u
per cent must be very largely in
creased if any relief is to be given
or if we are to be able to attract
teachers of ability to our schools All
of the leading schools of this state
have taken action in this matter of
teachers salaries in such a manner
that it proves that our people are
much interested in maintaining our
schools at a high standard
The school board realizes that the
two outstanding matters that face
this district at the present time are
the increase in the salaries of teach
ers and a building program that
shall result in the erection of build
ings suitable for carrying on the
work of the schools in the most eff
ficient manner. The voters of the
community will be called upon to
voice their approval of such a pro-
gram, no doubt, in the near future
There is but one point to settle in
this matter and that is the question
as to whether we shall place our
schools in the vanguard of progress
or whether we shall allow them to
lose their place of leadership that
they have had in the past To this
there can be but one answer

GOATS MILK FINDING FAVOR
Prejudice Against This Cheap and
Nutritious Food Seems in Fair
Way to Disappear.

Goats, it must be admitted. have
never been taken seriously by public
opinion In the United States, and the
news that the owner of the largest
herd in the American Northwest is
preparing to establish an extensive
dairy for the sale of goats milk will
probably seem to many rather humor-
Gus. AS matter of fact, however, II
appears that a promising beginning Is
already made, and that the city OF
Seattle. conveniently near the great
herd of goats on Cypress island, IN
the Puget Sound archipelago, already
consumes about a thousand quarts or
goats milk day. Publicity will per
haps be necessary to overcome the
American habit of regarding the goat
humorously, and it may take time and
patience to prove widely the state
mqnt of the owner of the herd that
goats milk is quite as good, If not
actually better, than cows milk. Five
cents day. says he, will pay the cost
Of keeping a goat whose average milk
production is two or three quarts !;
and two quarts OF milk for cents
would make a considerable difference
In the food expense Of a family. The
goat dairy may be more important
than II seems; and ten years from now
such diaries may be commonplace.

MANY FARMERS WILL
PAY INCOME TAX
,,,uh price of Wheat Brings Agricul-
.vyists Under Income Tax Law,
According to Deputy
Collector
practically every farmer who had

practically every farmer who had
$50 acres or more in crop during
.ho year 1919 will be obliged to
make an income tax return stated
neputy Collector S. E. Ratliff, who
hos been in the county for the past
taw days. Whitman county, as
Whole was blessed with a uniformly
GOOD crop" continued Mr.. Ratliff,
(Which together with the prevailing
high prices paid for grain, has en-
ah,ed the farmer to realize hand
some profits.
"Co-incident to the general pros
uerity of the farmer, the average
merchant has also enjoyed an unusu-
ally prosperous year, and the BOOKS
of the merchant which do not reflect
sufficient incomes TO render him liza
hle for an income tax return will
he scrutinized with unusual care by
the revenue officers.
Il predict that the year 1919 will
show more than treble the number
of income tax returns made for the
year 1918, on the part of residents
of Whitman county, and the returns
filed in this county during the year
1918 were greater by more than 10
times that of any previous year.
Except for "a revision downward
of the rates, the law pertaining to in
come tax remains the same as last
year. For the year 1919 the rate for
individuals is four and eight per cent
$4,000 above the personal exemption
and eight per cent on the balance, as
against a corresponding rate of six
and IL per cent for the year 1918.
The sur-taX on individuals remains
the same as last year This tax, it
must be understood, is independent
of the normal tax mentioned above,
and is in addition thereto. The ex-
emption for sur-taX purposes is
$4,000 In other words, unless an
individual has net income in excess
Of $4,000. he is not affected by the
sur-tax law. However, if his net in
come exceeds $4,000, he must pay
sur-tax at the following rates; One
per cent for the amount between
$4,000 and $4,000, two per cent on
the amount between $4,000 and $4,000
and corresponding increase of one
per cent for each additional $4,000.
This rate runs as high as 65 per cent
on net incomes of million dollars
and above.
March Is is the last date upon
which income tax returns may be
filed without penalties Without
doubt, the proper forms will be avail
able within the next few days and
as soon as these are received, ad-
wise all those who are liable for re-
turns to file them promptly, or at
least get their figures prepared SC
mat it will be a simple matter to
put them on the forms.
1t is the intention of Collector
Williams to have a man from the de-
partment visit practically every town
In the state between now and March
10 Tor the purpose of assisting tax
payers IN making their returns Def
mite notice of these visits will be
gwen in plenty of time so that tax.
payers may avail themselves of this

SCHOOL PROBLEMS IN
PULLMAN DISTRICT
Continued from first page)
First, interest on the permanent
school fund.

First, interest on the permanent
school fund.
Second, state tax.
Third, county tax
Fourth, local tax.
The permanent school fund is
made up from several sources The
bulk of the fund comes from the sale
of the J 9Th and seth sections in
every township of the state. These
sections were set aside at the time
that the state was admitted to the
Union for school purposes. A wise
these lands can not be sold for less
than $40 per acre. In this state the
land set aside for the education of
the youth of the commonwealth is
in the aggregate equal to three states
of the size of the state of Rhode
Island. No nation has been more
generous in its provision for the edu-
cation of it's children than has ours.
When the land is finally sold the
children of the state will have a her.
itage of great value.
The state legislature each bien-
MUM votes a tax such that when it is
added to the interest on the perman-
Eent school fund there shall be a
sum equivalent to SO for each CEN
sus child in the state. The county
also votes tax of $40 for each cen
sus child in the county. In addi-
ton to these taxes the local school
board has power to levy a tax not
to exceed 10 mills on the dollar of
the assessed valuation. The sum OF
these various levies constitutes the
school fund for carrying on the work
of the schools of given district.
What has this fund amounted to
in District No. SO during the past
years? In 1911-12 the budget for
this school district was $25,975.0
This amount has steadily increased
until in 1861 it was $35,927 90
since which time it has not increased.
The only method whereby we can
determine whether a given commun-
ity is properly supporting its schools
is to find how the cost per pupil in
one community compares with the
cost in another community. In order
to make this comparison a study was
made of the cost per pupil for
maintenance in the various schools
of this county for the year 19l8-19.
The figures for this comparison are
taken from reports sent from the Of
flee of the state superintendent of
public instruction of this state and
hence should be authentic. The
comparisons are made between
schools of Whitman county for the
reason that these schools have much
of the same conditions under which
to work.
Below is given a list of Ia dis
tricts in this county that employ from
five to 80 teachers each, together
with the cost per pupil for the year
1883. (The names of the dis
! tricts are not given but our own dis
trict is indicated by bold faced type
! No. 13).
