FOR THE SCHOOLS

The entire Lynden district should
unite in support of the efforts of the
school superintendent and directors
of the county to make change in the
office of County Superintendent Of
Schools That change is imperative
is the unanimous opinion of those
familiar with school affairs.
On the grounds that the office is
being administered in an incompetent
way to the detriment of the welfare
of the system, superintendent from
all important districts at a recent
meeting induced l.. E. Robinson of
Deming to become candidate for
the Republican nomination for coun-
ty superintendent of schools. Mr..
Robinson is graduate of Iowa State
Normal School, and has had expert
ence as high school instructor, prin-
cipal of a high school. superintend-
ent of a consolidated district, direct
or of second-class district, and has
served as president of the Whatcom

cast the ballot. In the cities where
the voters are unknown to election
officials, the present law serves a
good purpose But in anything but
cities of the first and second classes,
registration is unnecessary and pos
tive menace to the American election
system.
The repeal of the registration law
in so far as it affects cities of the
third and fourth class, and country
precincts, should be demanded of the
legislature i'll January. And Lynden
can begin to insist on such a change
right now when the candidates are
seeking places in the legislature.

A FOOLISH LAW

Registration books for the pfi-
maries are closed. and again we see
hundreds of good American citizens
of the Lynden district Instantaneous
ed as a result of a brainless act OF
the legislature. Here in little city
of a farming center. where every
body knows the details of his neigh
boris life history, it is ridiculous TO
demand preliminary registration
before casting ballot.
In the country sections especially,
where precincts cover wide areas, it
is unjust to ask farmer to traVei
miles to the home of the registration
clerk.

FIGHT INSECTS NOW WITH PLOw

Fall plowing is the most universal
ly effective way of controlling the in
sect pests that annually cause great
losses to the grain farmer. 1t is much
easier and cheaper. says the Bureau
of Entomology, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, TO prevent
an insect outbreak in this manner
than it is to stamp out the infestation
once it is fully developed. The Hessian
fly, so destructive to wheat, is one of
the insects that can hardly be eradi-
Gated once it is established in the
crop. Fall plowing is recommended
because it breaks up the soil and de-
stroys the grubs and pupae of many
insects by exposing them to the sun
and air.
Farmers Bulletin 1885, prepared by
the Bureau of Entomology. tells how
to control the most common and
dangerous of the grain farmers insect
enemies. It gives briefly the life his
tories of the HessiOn fly, army worm,
grasshoppers, white grubs,
billbugs, corn-root aphis, and wire
worms, with authoritative data de-
scribing the characteristics of each
pest and the best practical remedies
for control. The bureau advises the
grain farmer to plow in the fall, if
possible; to keep a supply of insecti-
cides and a spraying outfit on hand;
to watch the crops carefully for an
and to report all outbreaks
to the county farm adviser, or direct
to the Bureau of Entomology, United
States Department of Agriculture.

THE FATTED CALF
HOW TO GROW II

For the prodigal who has finally
turned away from growing inferior
improbable, and uninteresting live
stock the United States Department
of Agriculture has prepared a special
farmers bulletin No. 1135. Under the
title The Beef Calf; Its Growth and
Development" this new publication,
written principally for young farmers,
tell how to select beef calf and raise
1t either for market or for use as a
breeding animal.
The bulletin is a response to an un-
usual demand by members of boys
and girls clubs for specific informa-
tion on the principles and practices
of raising well-bred calves, preparing
them for show or sale, and disposing
of them to advantage. Desirable and
undesirable types of calves are dis
cussed and illustrated
There are chapters on equipment
needed. keeping the calf healthy, feed
ing, and the importance of changing
the ration as the animal develops, al
so methods of preventing parasites
and disease. The bulletin describes
clearly how to clip, curl, or otherwise
prepare the coat of the various breeds
of cattle preparatory to showing them,
with additional directions regarding
shipping and exhibiting. Persons de-
string such information should write
to the United States Department of
Agriculture. Washington, d. c., for

PUBLIC MEETINGS
BANNED IN PALOUSE
SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, LODGES
AND OTHER GATHERINGS
CLOSED BY COUNCIL
(Palouse Republic)

Monday afternoon, following a ses-
sion of the city council, sitting as a
board of health, announcement was
made that the public schools were to
be closed and the community forego
all public gatherings until further
notice, in order to better guard
against the spread of the influenza,
a few cases of which had developed
in the community Placards were at
once put up in all business houses
and public places, limiting the num-
Der of persons who may assemble in
any place of business, or other place
in the city, to six The decision of
the board of health, acting on the re-
port of DR.. Walter Farnham, city
health officers, met with the approval
of citizens generally, all being eager
to do everything possible to check
a serious outbreak of the disease
which took such a toll in human life
last year.
AS a result of the order of the
health board, there will not be serv-

meetings or other gatherings, either
in public buildings or in private

Conditions Not Serious Here.
The influenza situation in Palouse
is not at all serious. At the time of
going to press, the health officer re-
ported 20 cases in the city, six of
which. are in one family, that of l.. S.
Carroll The cases are all mild. The
opinion seems to be that if the epi-
demic does not gain headway during
the next few days, the schools will be
opened again Monday. This, however,
cannot be determined yet
In the country surrounding Pa
louise, the condition is worse than in
town, there being dozens of cases in
farm homes in the neighborhood
Some of these cases are quite severe,
but none are reported serious. Three
members of the John Kamm family,
Mr.. and Mrs. Kamm and Floyd, the
oldest son, have the disease in a rath-
sr sever form.
Local doctors are on the job early |

tents the best care possible.

MOSCOW MERCHANT
FAvORS MORE PAY
F. A. DAVID THINKS EDUCAT.
ORS MUST HAVE HIGHER
SALARIES TO LIVE

The question of higher salaries for
those engaged in educational work
has attracted much interest every
where and was the subject for dis
cussion at a. meeting of the pres
idents of the University of Idaho
Washington State College and Uni
versity of Washington at Spokane
this week, is attracting interest loc-
ally. F. A. David, pioneer merchant
of Moscow, when asked for his opin-
ion on the subject, said:
"You ask me to state what / think
OF the present salaries paid college
teachers and professors. l will tell
you frankly what l think.
Education is the hope for the fu-
ture of our state and nation. If we
are niggardly with our teachers and
college professors, we are going
backward and not forward. We
should insist on college teachers and
professors being paid a salary large
enough so they may live in comfort
and not have to spend their time and
energies in figuring out how they can
pay their monthly bills and not leave
balance unpaid. Every good citizen
of our state should insist on more
liberal appropriations to our COL
leges and better pay for their teach
ers and professors. We should elect
men to office who have vision enough
to put the welfare of our state above
few paltry dollars in taxes. Our
state is able enough and should paw
salaries large enough to attract and
keep the very best in the teaching
profession.
''The best teachers in our country
are leaving the teaching profession
and taking up other occupations be-
cause they can make more money and
keep themselves and families in more
comfort. Who can blame them i?
Let US not be penny wise and
pound foolish in dealing with so
vital thing as the educational sys-
tenn of our new and progressive
state"
F. A. DAVID.
