merce at its meeting Tuesday night
voted to establish three bureaus
within the organization. The report
of the secretary recommended the

merchants bureau, Messrs. Stocking,
Hawthorne and others having spoken
IN favor of such action.

the chairman of these three bureaus.
which he did by appointing r. A.
Hawthorne for the agricultural bu-
reau, R. F. Hart for the civic bureau.
and Charles Bowen for the mer-
chants bureau. The bureaus met to
make preliminary plans for their
work. Mr.. Hart being absent. p. M.
Troy was chosen as acting chairman
for the civic group.
The housing proposition was dis.
cussed rather exhaustively, as to
needs, as well as to proposed ways
and means, Messrs. C. J. Lord, p. N.
Troy, George A. Mottman, Fred w.
Stocking and others talking upon va
rious features of the question. On
motion President Klumb was aske.:

q plan whereby company might be
organized to put over a comprehen.

Fultz, recited the achievements Of
the chamber during the year. which
are remarkable and when ore con-

much larger city than Olympia The
expenditures to secure this fine show
ing were only little over 5000,
and the secretary recommended a
budget of $4,000 for the coming year.

FARMERS WANT TO KNOW (
WHERE CANDIDATES STAND
QUIZ FOR PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANTS. BOTH RECEPTIVE
AND ACTIVE, AS TO COLLECTIVE BUYING
RAILROADS AND TAXATION

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 49,
The first copy of QUESTIONABLE pre-
pared by the National Board of Farm
Organizations for presentation to all
presidential candidates to place them
on record on matters affecting farm
ers was received yesterday by Will
lam Jennings Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan said that although he
was not at this time a candidate, he
would study the QUESTIONABLE and
give his opinion on it. He declared
himself heartily in accord with re-
questing candidates to place them
selves unequivocally on record prior
to the campaigns.
Elimination of the middleman, pro-
lection of the farmer in his right to
organize, appointment of an expert
acceptable to organized agriculturists
as secretary of agriculture and repre-
sentation for farmers on all boards
and commissions, are the main planks
in the farmers platform outlined in
the questionnaire. according to C. s.
Barrett, president of the national
board and chairman of the committee
which drew up the document
Quiz ON Collective Buying
Other issues presented include the
free and unquestioned right of col
lective buying. reduction of the farm
tenancy. evil, improvement of farm
credit facilities, national conservation
and the maintenance of free speech.
free press and free assembly"
The committee already has listed
IA active or prospective candidates
to receive the inquiry and will add
others as each candidate, active or re-
ceptive assumes that status. The
list now includes Vice President MAJ
shall, Senators Johnson, Poindexter.

of things which exist, and which
Americans notice very quickly. 1t is
interesting to note, however, that tn.
farther north one goes in England
the less does the class fetch com

Scotland and Ireland are compara-
lively free from it. Oxford, the last
place on earth to change, is still
frankly organized upon the class sys-

Four years ago, when first came

my wants. When he came in to learn

to Hoxford as 'adn't fortune to

That presents. incidentally, one of
the strangest aspects of the lower
class minds. Not only do they ac-

and despise their own kind. Their
attitude is much the same as that of
the American negro, who calls his
friends slow down niggahs," and has
little confidence in their ability to do
anything. The differences between
classes are marked and intensified
by the rude speech of the ignorant.

and SO marked by local peculiarities

New Orleans Cotton,

New Orleans, Jan. 22.-During the greater part of the session today the price of cotton moved rather un- certainly within narrow range, both above and below the closing level of yesterday, but late in the session there was strong rally following telegrams from Washington stating that a compromise on the peace treaty had practically been arranged The close showed net gains for the day of 40 to 70 points.
 The opening was higher in re- sponse to a good Liverpool market and to the cold and wet weather map. After the first gains, the market met selling of much the same character that was felt yester- day and there were recessions. Ru- mors of large trading on the spot atfer hours yesterday then gave buy CTS a new incentive The rumors later regarding the peace treaty ap- parently caught considerable short iOtpiaet

PEACE ! TREATY TALK

 ADVANCE: IN COTTON

New York. Jan. 20 The cotton market showed continued nervous ness and irregularity during to- days early trading but advanced sharply late in the afternoon follow ing reports of improved prospects Tor an agreement on the peace treaty. The general list closed steady at a net advance of 35 to 60 points.
 The opening was easy with the ae- tive months selling off during the first few minutes. There appeared to be overnight selling orders around the ring and while Liver pool bought March, houses with Eng fish connections were sellers of May and July. Offerings were absorbed on this decline by trade buying and covering, however, and prices turned steadicr during the middle of the day on rather a more opportunc view of the foreign news. The absence of any important selling pressure from the South and the early rally in the stock market and sterling ex- change. Prices later relapsed under liquidation or realizing but offerings were less active than recently and the market advanced rapidly in the last half hour on renewed covering Last prices were several points of from the best under realizing.

 "Why, Betty Langley" I exclaimed "l think it is marvellous that you can do it!"

 "So is astronomy, chemistry, any thing" l replied. ! "But, this is really simple" she tinsisted. When we get to you1 house I'll show you how easy it is if you lke'
 ''I'd be delighted" 1 assented, with eagerness.
 'You are so wild about sports of all kinds, Bess," Betty said as we walked on, "that l am little sur prised that you never took up iiu ijitsu. It is a scientific method of Iyapanese defense recognized every where as practically infallible."
 'I've heard of it," l said, "but nev- CT saw it before" When we got home Betty showed me the simple jiu jitsu holds. It was very easy to learn, I thought, surely it could not amount to much for that reason. Ana yet mad Just seen her protect herself with it. l wondered what Crittcnden would say about her adventure when he knew of it. Then l decided that I should tell him nothing because he never was disposed to give Betty credit for anything anyway and l might precipitate another quarrel if l praised Betty's courage and skill.
 For the fun of the thing, I was eager to learn this method of de- fense at which Betty was so adept. She promised to show me all the holds she knew and determined to learn them.

day early in the spring, going from her apartment to my home. We were sauntering along, talking and laughing. We overlook a man and passed him. His was a shu1fling, non descript figure to which we paid lit. tie or no attention.
 Suddenly, the man, who had pur- posely dropped behind us, as was evi. dent, darted to Betty's side and snatched at her purse. It happened so quickly that it took us by surprise though Betty had been warned suffi- ciently by his swift footsteps to be on her guard. She clutched hel purse tightly and the man failed Then, while I screamed and looked about wildly for help, there were swift developments with Betty on the offensive.
 Seizing the mans wrist, she twist ed it suddenly. The man dropped to his knees, crying out. She held him there with the slender, gloved fingers of her very capable hand, twisting lis wrist. I looked at her in amaze ment. She was perfectly calm.
 Presently we saw the blue-clad fig ure of a policeman rounding the cor ner a block away. He was coming in our direction. He saw us and ran to the scene of the attempted rob- bery. Betty then turned her prisoner over to the policeman and we went on.
 "Jiu Jitsu," replied Betty when l asked her how she had done it.
 Japanese, isn't it?" 1 inquired.
 "Yes. You know Jack spent two years in Japan, and he is an expert lat it. He taught me lot of the holds. Jack, you know, thinks wo- man ought to be able to defend her

Disregarding Crittenden's com- mands to see less of Betty Langley which I never had any thought of obeying and in which I knew l was within my rights, 1 saw more of the lear girl that winter and spring than ,ver. Marjorie Boyd, wrapped up in 1er love for her two Chesters. And he more I saw of Betty, the more loved and admired her.
 A charming thing about Betty was hat one constantly learned new things concerning her. In this re- ;pect she was quite the most delight sul person l had ever known. For while not reserved, she did not let ner friends know all about her all at once. Occasionally, you know, we meet people who tell everything at one sitting as it were. We know all the places they have been, all the things they have done, their past mis- sakes and future hopes, their i'll luck md their good fortune.
 But Betty always had another trick in her bag" For instance, 1 did not know that she could speak a word of Italian until we encountered on the streets one day, Piedmentese vendor of statuettes. She spoke to .he man in his native tongue, where upon, with gestures and smiles, the vendor declared she spoke the lang lage like native. There were many such surprsies for men when l got 70 know her still better.
 But Betty's versatility was not con- fined to social accomplishments. She was resourceful to an extent that was astounding. There seemed to be no end to the things she knew and could do.
 I used to laugh at Crittenden's ig- norance of the real Betty.
