ADVOCATES THRIFT

Dunn Says Self Help is Only

CINCINNATI. o.. Nov. 2O.-The
homely old virtues OF thrift md

an address here today.
Railway employees By the nrao-

claiming that was the only road
open in America TO industrial de-

Dunn offered statistics indicating
employees by saving from their pres

enough stocks in concerns to give
them management or participafion
in affairs.
That would be far easier and more
beneficial than such wilI-O-wisp as

WHERE ARE THE MEDALS FOR
FARMERS WIVES?

We are mourning nationally the
fact that farmers sons are lured by
the city, and wondering what can be
done to hold them on the soil. Mean
while it is well to take account of a
most important factor in the agri-
cultural situation-the farmers
wife.
The American Lumberman tells of
an investigation made by an enter
prising Indiana plumbing house
which procured some interesting
facts. Several letters of inquiry
were sent to 1000 farmers wives.

by interviews. Here are some of the

Reason for Hurry.

One of the very substantial men Of
a thriving town in the West is named
Garry Mcintyre. One day, in conversa-
ton with number of soldiers from a
military post near by, he said:
II understand you lads are going
on a hike. When you reach Snake
river, take good look at it. It's full
of undercurrents and eddies. Boys, |

that river"
Several days later the men crossed
the Snake river on cable ferry The
ferryman CHANGED to inquire. quite cas-
ually, of a waiting soldier:
DO you know a man down in your
country by the name of Garry Nc
Intyre? They tell me he has accumu-
lated lot of money"
II was talking to him only the other

he swan Snake river once"

COMMUNITY CENTER BUILDINGS

Buildings used as centers of COM

United States vary widely in external
construction, but have several gem
erel characteristics. Chief among
these is an auditorium, which is usu-
ally furnished with movable seats,
that permit the use of the room for
audiences, dinners, athletic contests.
or any other purposes to which a
hall can be put. Also there is usually
a stage provided with curtains and
dressing rooms for dramatic uses,
and well equipped kitchen. Some
times the assembly room is built on
the first floor and the kitchen and a
separate dining room in the base

ern Washington He is a hard work
ms, unassuming kind of man and
has won the reputation of being an
able lawyer and a just Judge.
Judge w. w. Tolman of Spokane
was appointed to the supreme bench
20 fill vacancy He located in
Spokane in 1892 and served a term
in the legislature, 1901-03, notable
for his fight for the passage of the
state railway commission law. He
was author of the Tolman commits
sion bill. He served as president of
the Spokane school board and during
the war was chairman of District
Appeal Board No /, for eastern
Washington under the operation of
the selective service act for the re-
cruiting of the army of the United
States.
Justice Bridges is the newest mem
Der of the supreme court, having
been appointed in June, 1919, by
Governor Hart to succeed Justice
Stephen j. Chadwick, who resigned.
He is resident of Grays Harbor
county, where he served two years
as prosecuting attornew, beginning
in 1895. He also served a term as
president Of the State Bar associa-
tion and is the author of the new
probate code of the state enacted by
the 1917 legislature.
All three of these judges have
made clean and honorable records
on the supreme bench and the vot-
ers will make no mistake in rolling
up majority for the Holcomb-Tol-

WEAR BELLS ON THEIR TOES
Men Of Dakar, French West Africa,
Also Carry Surprising Assortment
Of Other Trlnkets.

Men of Dakar, the seat of French
West African administration, literally
wear rings on their fingers and bells
on their toes, not to mention amulets,
beads, coins and surprising assert
ment OF trinkets, mostly regarded as
charms, The natives, however, are
not to be regarded as savage except in
their ability to fight.
OF the West African tribes, the Ber-
bers are believed by some experts to
have been at one time masters of the
Mediterranean. They have many times
been conquered and driven out Of
their homesteads, but always MAIN
tain their racial identity, their physi.
cal characteristics and a persistent
love of freedom.
The Berber women have fought by
their husbands sides, and their moral
ity is of high character. In Dakar
can also be seen the Serers, a tribe
of natives that worship the snake and
believe in the transmigration of souls.
A height of six feet and six inches
is not uncommon among the men of
the Serers.
Among the most intelligent of the
natives are the Fulahs, whose folk

WARNING TO VANDALS

Certain of the experimental plots
in the potato fields at the State Col
lege have been damaged by people
stealing material thereabouts. This
not only is loss of material, but di-
rect destruction of the work. Any
one found destroying or damaging or
taking material from the place will
be prosecuted. for theft and damage
to the work. We are glad to have
people see the plots and know what
is going on, but it is state work and
such vandalism as has been practiced
is a crime against the commonwealth
and will be treated as such.

Eagle as an Emblem.

They are two different species of
eagle. The American eagle is the
white-headed or bald eagle, while the
German is known as the imperial
eagle, probably identically original
with the golden eagle of Europe Our
American eagle first appeared as an
emblem on the great seal of the United
States, adopted June 20, 1882; its de-
sign was a shield on the breast of an
American bald eagle. The device is
stated to have been largely suggested
TO John Adams when minister to Great
Britain by Sir John Prestwich, Eng
fish antiquary. The eagle was first
used on United States coins in 1883.
The Persians, EtruscanS. Romans,
French under Napoleon, Austrians,
Russians and Prussians have all used
on their standards the imperial eagle,
emblem of power; the double-headed
eagle of Austria and of Russia signi-
fed power east and west The Ger
man eagle is the single-headed black
eagle, with red claws and tongue and
the crown of Charlemagne over the
head.

ment. Community buildings used
mainly by farmers frequently have
special rooms for cooperative eco
nomic enterprises.
Community buildings in the small
er towns frequently contain Libraries
and reading rooms, women's rest
rooms and small rooms to be used as
melting places for various organiza-
tons
Similar buildings in county seats
and larger towns are often made
more complete. They contain office
rooms, special rooms for banquets,
rooms in which cafes are managed as
business enterprises, a gymnasium.
billiard and bowling rooms, rooms
for agricultural exhibits, for the use
of the county agent, the visiting
nurse or the commercial club. Some
community buildings provided by
town or county government also con-
tain rooms for the different officials.
Some have social rooms for the fire
department.
Sites of Community Buildings
These range from a size a little
larger than the building to grounds
of several acres. The latter are of
ten provided with baseball diamonds
and other forms of athletic fields and
playground apparatus. Many of the
buildings, both in town and country,
have horse sheds and garages on the
premises.

A STRONG TRIO

The election of the judges of the
supreme and superior courts of this
state has very wisely been taken out
of partisan politics The candidates
for these positions do not run upon
party tickets, but upon their indi-
vidual merits and records.
The terms of three of the present
supreme court judges expire this
year and they are all seeking re-elec-
ton. They appear to have given
general satisfaction and to deserve
another term.
o. R. Holcomb, who is now chief
Justice of the supreme court, is a
resident of Ritzyille and was elected
TO the supreme court after many
years of public service, which began
with his appointment as prosecuting
attorney of Adams county in 1895
He served as commissioner of arid
lands under Governor Rogers;
served two terms as Judge of the SUI

ed as mayor, member of the school

How Maintained

The cost of maintaining a com
munity building depends of course
on the number and variety of uses to
which it is put. 1t has been found
that in the case of the simpler build
ings, the expense of maintenance
ranges from five to ten per cent of
the initial cost of the plant Those
that cost the least have merely the
expenses of light and heat To these
are added such expenses as water,
telephone, salaries for secretary,
physician directors, care takers, Ii
brarians, etc. Funds to maintain
these buildings are obtained from
dues, fees, assessments, rentals, re-
ceipts from entertainments and in
case of buildings constructed with
public funds, by money voted from
the public treasury
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1920-09-03
How Obtained and Managed

In many cases the persons holding
STOCK in community buildings organ
1ze and constitute themselves a com
munity building association. They
usually incorporate, which gives
them power to buy land, to borrow
money and to erect and control such
buildings. Usually others than stock
holders having the use of such build
lngs are associate members. Both
classes pay dues. Stockholders and
in some instances social and associ-
ate members elect boards of trustees
of from three to nine members, who
control and manage the building
These bodies usually elect their own
officers and arrange for the appoint
ment of proper committees. The i'm
mediate duties of management are
generally assigned to a house secre-
tary, a physical director or a care
taker. There are a few instances in
which control is placed in the select
board and it's members have power
to appoint their own successors.
Township and city buildings are usu-
ally managed by the usual public of
f:cials.

A study of the table shows that in
every election, except the last the
party with the largest campaign fund
at its disposal won. This indicates
the potency of money in influencino
puDhc opinion. The figures also in
dlcate that since 1908 the maximum
cost of conducting an effective car-
palgn has been approximately
100000.
1t seems safe to conclude that So
100000 would be a liberal estimate
to cover the legitimate expenses of
the campaign this year and that. if
any party expends more than that
sum, the use of the surplus is omen
to suspicion and may react as a

ing the presidency of the United

great political parties will find it
the part of wisdom to hold down
their campaign expenditures to
strictly legitimate purposes and to
avoid the suspicion of planning to
carry doubtful states and districts by
the improper use of money, which
the collection of an enormous slush
fund will imply. Such methods are
repugnant to all patriotic and fair
