After the completion of the CONNER
cial club business the meeting will

v. M. Pike, formerly cashier OF
the First National Bank of this city,
who went to Washington a few
weeks ago with the intention
of engaging in the banking business
has succeeded in securing a charter
for a state bank at Zilla, Yakima
county. The following is clipped
from the Zilla Free Press of Dec.25.
'The Charter applied for two
weeks ago by the Zilla State Bank
has been granted by State Bank Ex-
aminer L. H. Moore, according to a
telephone communication to the

mover in the founding of the new
financial institution. MI. Pike, who
has been a temporary guest at the
Hotel West in T~oppenish, received
the charter this Thursday morning

after berries, some after butterflies;
knock the rocks to pieces; some
climb up to where there is a fine view,
sit down and copy the stumps,
some go into the water, some make
fire, some find a camp of Indians
and learn to make baskets. These all
come back to the picnic camp in good

BILL FOR FOUR MILLION
TO LEND TO FARMERS
For Purchase of Seed in Drouth-
Affected Districts-Limited
to $4,000

A bill to appropriate 81, 100000
to be loaned to farmers of the
Northwest to purchase seed for
spring planting has been introduced
in the House of Representatives by
Congressman Carl w. Riddick, of
Montana, and word comes from
Washington that there is good pros
pect that the measure will be
promptly written into law. The bill
provides that the loans shall be made
through National and State banks in
sections of the country where there
have been severe drouths and the
administration of the fund is placed
in the hands of the Secretary of Ag-
riculture. No farmer may borrow
more than $500. The is to
be used for the purchase of seed
only, and a low rate of interest will
be charged. A first lien will be tax
en- on the crop that will be planted
with the seed purchased through the
loan. No portion Of the money shall
be paid to any person or bank for
aid in distributing the money. This
work will all be done gratuitously.
The enactment of this measure
will bring needed aid to thousands
of farmers of the Northwest whose
resources and credit have been ex-
hausted by the drouth and who will
otherwise be unable to put in a crop
in the spring. 1t will also bring
needed relief to hundreds of mer-
chants, elevators and banks who
have given credit to the limit.
This seed loan appropriation,
fathered by Congressman Carl Rid
dick, is along the line of sound,
practical, common-sense legislation

WOMEN PREY OF LONELINESS
London Writer Says That is the Cause
of Their Tireless and Cease
less Toll.

Men are amazingly and %amusingly
ignorant with respect TO the mysterious
life led by their mothers, wives, daugh-
ters and auntS. For years at a time a
man may go on blindly with his work
and his play and remain in total igno-
rance about the activities of these mex
plicable beings. he is dimly and dubi-
Ously aware that they are not idle. In
his paroXysms in intuition he guesses
that his comfort and ever his happi-
ness in some fashion may depend upon
their laborS. But the greater part of
mis- existence is passed in a sublime
ignoring OF all the immense miracles
wrought by women every day of his
life.
| have come TO the conclusion that
women are the loneliest of Gods crea-
lures, and that their loneliness is the
great first cause of their t~ireless and
toll. James Douglas writes in
London Opinion. Nearly every woman
goes about with a lonely look on her
face and the older she grows the lone
lier she looks. There are very few
men, for men are gregarious.
They are also, upon the whole, less
imaginative than women They live

with considerable concern and all
efforts will be taken to prevent its
spread over the state.

Notice TO Teachers

All persons expecting to teach in
the county will be required TO at
tend this institute fnr the fun time
Of two weeks except those who are
attending summer schools in other

and besides him there will be other
school men of known ability from

ton from time to time to lecture,
and instruct the teachers.
Let me urge upon all Teachers
the importance of attending the
institute. The Board will be under
no obligations to employ any one
who does not attend without a
valid excuse. Every teacher owes

Bulletin No. 731 which may be se-
cured by applying to the Division
of Extension, University of Tenn
essee, gives a description of the
army worm and its control. 1t urges
upon the farmers the necessity of
constant vigilance in combatinet this
insect. The army worm should be
looked for first in neglected portions
of fields upon which rank growth
of wild grasses or lodged and fallen
unripe grain are to be found. These
should be examined frequently and
closely, especially during late May,
June and early July, in order to
discover the small greenish cater
pillars, which may be found in
great numbers feeding near the SUR
face of the ground under the shell
tering, overhanging leaf blades. In
this way the insect is discovered
before it has q chance to become
full grown and spread over the en-
tire farm. When the worms are
discovered at work do not lose q
minute, but attack them vigorously
To control the insect the follow
ing methods are suggested in Bull
letin 731. In case the worms are
crawling in body surround them
with a furrow or ditch and crush
them with a log drag as they fall
into it. Poison them by spraying

1t seem to us that under the pres

that the delegates of the conven-

of Doodle, a man who has not been

plenty of good men who are clean

he is nominated we shall support

Army Worm Outbreak In
State.

The army worm, which from time
to time becomes enormously de-
structive to growing crops has been
discovered on the farm of A. K.
Swami & Son, cambridge, Tenn,
according to specialists of the Div
ision of Extension. The loss en-
tailed on this farm 80 far is esti-
mated as several thousand dollars,
. Ihe worms covering fifty acres OF
meadow and about sixty acres OF
wheat.
The loss in money to the farmer
by army worms in the past has been
exceedingly great, and altho no ex-
act climate is possible, it is safe to
saw that in the Eastern States alone
many millions of dollars worth OF
grain and forage crops have disap-
peared down their throats during
the past thirty years.
The true army worm usually ap-
pears in the field very suddenly.
and it seems quite certain that the
moths at times fly in great numbers
for many miles, iii the direction of
the prevailing winds, and alight in
a body TO deposit their eggs at some
place favorable to the development.
Generally speaking, outbreaks OF
the true army worm are more COM
