Sunday, both morning and evening.
An all day meeting was held. The
morning service was followed by an
observance of The Lords Supper"
A family dinner was then served to
about so. The afternoon service
was used by Rev. Austin in present
ing the claims of the New World
Movement in this particular field.
The B. Y. p. u. was led in the
evening by Mr.. Spencer. The deep
impression of the evening service
was evidenced when the entire con-

deeper conservation for the New

been ten additions to the member
ship of the church.
MIR. Austin will preach again next
Sunday both morning and evening.

an adequate athletic field near the
school for practice. The chamber
OF commerce recognizes this urgent
need and will take steps to relieve

chamber take steps to secure, by
purchase or lease, the tract near the
O.-W Il. & n tracks, west of the
station, formerly used by the Stand
ard Lumber company for its yards,
met with hearty support. MIR. En-
ert. together with L. w. Thorp, sec

districts outside of towns, new and
complete registration of voters there

the first Monday in January of such
years and the registration books
shall be kept open at all times up to
a period of 20 days before election. 3"

Good Enrolment

Winter school in short courses of
animal husbandry, horticulture, farm
management, poultry husbandry,
soils, plant diseases, insects, field
crops, and gas tractors opened Mon
day, Jan. ), with an enrolment of
125 students. Owing to the crowded
housing conditions of Pullman due
to the extra large enrolment of reg
ular students, rooms to accommo-
date large number of short course
students could not be found close to
the college, which resulted in a much
smaller enrolment than in former
years. A careful survey of the hous-
ing situation, however brought to
light rooms for $50 students if they
cared to walk a mile or so to college,
which a large number of those en-
rolled are now doing.
AS usual, the gas tractor course
proved to be the most popular, hav-

Adams branch experiment station.

yields and weights of wheats, with
a suggestion as to their adaptability
for planting.
In presenting his data, Superin-
tendent Mccall explains that numer-
Gus requests now are coming to the
experiment station tor information
as to the varieties of wheat best
adapted to the drier parts of Central
Washington. His data for winter
wheat on the Adams station is lin
tied to 1918 and 1919, and because
of the very low yields of 1918, the
averages are also low.
Following is the summary Of Yields
and weights for the two years.

nd weights for the two years:

Commenting upon these yields and
weights, Superintendent Mccall says:
Too much Importance cannot, of
course, be attached TO these results
because of the small number of years
concerned in he average but they
are valuable when considered in con-
nection with similar results secured
by farmers covering longer periods of
time.
For that part of central Wash
ington having rainfall of 10 or IL
inches and less, Jones Fife and Tur-
key Red seem best adapted, with Hy-
brid 1873 doing well in certain more
favored localities"

REMARKS BY GRANDFATHER

says the boys at school
Who would not study well
Were treated to raw hickory
In blows that roughly fell,
But nowadays a kid that's tough
Gets soft soap out Of books,
And puffs and matted milk and all
The teachers sweetest looks.
Grandfather says chap that went
And stole a neighbours nag
Saw justice rise with awful frown,
And no one seemed to lag
Along his trail until they had
Him pinched, and presently
His erring corpus dangled from
A handy, spreading tree.
Grandfather says that laziness
Was common years ago.
A lad that like camel fed
And moved around as slow,
Was birched to circulate his blood.
But one who tolls avoids
Today, has adolescent languor,
Or they blame his adenoids.
Another thing, grandfather says,
We've got string Of names
That kind Of cracks your jaw to speal
For all the wildful games
That flesh is heir to or invents,
But when he was knee high, VIII
bless
Your gentle hearts, they had or
word
For all such-cussedness
