ALL LIVING THINGS LINKED
Scientists Aver There Is Even a Bond of Sympathy Between Humanity
 and q Stone.

If, as scientists tell us, there Is a connecting link between human be- ings and animals, animals and vege- tables, and vegetables and minerals there is a bond of sympathy between you and a stone Everything becomes merely matter of degree, with hu- man beings-in their own estimatlOn- at the top.
 great scientist, Sir Jagadis Chan dra Bose, has just given some aston ishing facts regarding vegetables, in which he shows that they have many of our characteristics, says London Answers.
 The effects of stimulants on vege- tables are similar to the effects on ani- mals. Vegetables can also be put under anesthetics, they can be pol soned and they are subject to the death spasm. The latter point has a special interest for vegetarians. Per haps the most astonishing fact Is that vegetable plants possess greater sensi- bilities than animals, enabling them to record wireless signals.
 When does a vegetable end and an animal begin? Near the border line is :;s2 common sponge.

STUDY OF GREEK GIVEN UP
Fewer Students In American or Eno- fish Colleges Seem to Care for
 Ancient Language.

Every year the expression, Tt Is all Greek to me-" has a sharper point to 1t. The reason is that each year few CT boys and girls study Greek, re- marks "Girard" in the Philadelphia Press.
 I see by the list of students in a typical American college that only one boy in 15 now studies Greek. In the same college 30 years ago over half the students read Greek.
 A drop from 30 to less than ' per cent in a generation is going fast, and shows that Greek will soon be not only a dead, but a buried language in tho United States.
 And from Oxford, In England, comes a wall that the university is fast los ing ground.
 The year before the war, in 1915. p53 students entered Oxford, but 30 years earlier 7S4, matriculated. And of those who came in 1913. 1SO were Rhodes scholars.
 From an Oxford man learn that Greek Is the trouble. Cambridge un!- versity abolished Greek, but Oxford did not, although in nearly all the five preparatory schools in Englanc Geek Is no longer taught.
 So it seems that schools do not pre- pare boys for Oxford and Oxford stands still.

SuQar Mills Making Saltpeter.

In the sugar factory at Pecky, Bo- hemia. successful experiments have been made with the manufacture of saltpeter from the waste liquids of the mill. It Is calculated that under nor nal conditions the beet sugar factories of CZechO- Slovakia will produce 6,000 to 1000 tons of saltpeter annually. This quantity is considered sufficien. for the production of explosives.

school squad will go up against
Thanksgiving day at Wenatchee will
be one of the best and fastest high
school football teams in the state

nevertheless the team is not leaving
with a losing spirit, but determined
to give Wenatchee everything they
have in them.

are as follows: Captain Mccoy, Vos-
burg, D. Hays, F. Carothers, Cannon

en- the sessions of the state chamber
at the meeting OF the local organiza-

We arrived in Ellensburg abou.

were then piloted to the Antlers no

first session was called at 10 O'Clock
At the Elks' hall with about 100 del

BASKET BALL

The girls of the different classes
of the high school are trying to get
together to arrange a class basket
ball tournament. Last year each
class had its girls team and its boys
team. There was a class contest car
ried on in which the class of '21
came out victorious. The same kind
of a plan is to be put into effect
this year, if possible. The only girls
team organized so far is that of the
seniors, who are expecting to have
turnout of two full teams with
Maude Dixon as captain of the first
team. The boys will begin basket.
ball practice soon after the Thanks

TIE WITH COLFAX

Played in a downpour of rain
which made Rogers field a minia-
ture lake, the last local high school
football game of the season between
Colfax and Pullman resulted in a
tie. The game was the final one to
decide the Whitman county cham
pionship and although both teams
fought hard until the final whistle,
neither was able to score on account
of being evenly matched and the I'M
favorable weather conditions The
field was unusually wet and slippery
but this did not eliminate some fast
team work by both teams,
The Colfax team found it most
profitable to advance the ball by
short end runs and by means of the
forward pass. A large share of Col
faX's yardage may be attributed to
lucky plays resulting from the wet
field, while costly fumbles on the
part OF both teams were frequent,
the wet slippery ball being etremely
hard to hold securely.
Most Of the yardage made by the
Pullman squad was made by straight
football and the criss cross also
worked effectively. Few forward
passes We're attempted. Three times
during the game the Pullman line
frightened and held like a stone wall
causing ColfaX to lose the ball on
downs on each occasion within our
1O-yard line
The roofing sections representing
both schools displayed a fine brand
of good, clean craftsmanship, which
was probably the best spirit displayed
between the two schools for several
years on account of the intense rival
ry that exists between Colfax and
Pullman schools.
The game next year is being look
ed forward to already with keen in
terest as last Fridays game was the
second game ColfaX and Pullman
have played to tie finish. Both
teams and schools are eagerly look.
ing forward to next seasons gridiror
battle and both are determined that
the annual football game shall not
result in tie score again.

ENROLMENT STILL GROWING

The high school enrolment has
now reached a total of PIT, which
equals the entire enrolment of last
year. The number of students is
still increasing and the total enroll
ment for the year has been estimated
at 240 at least This number is at
least 80 per cent more than the
building was ever intended for in
the first place A midyear class of
freshmen will enter with at least 20
members. At the present rate of
growth the number of high school
students next year will be well over
$50.
Lack Of assembly hall room seems
to be the greatest problem confront
ing the school officials. The only
possible solution seems to be to place
the seats more compactly Several
have two occupants. The building is
but six years old but is entirely too
small for present needs. An addi-
ton to the high school would prob
ably relieve the situation for only a
short time. A building at least
twice as large as the present one
could be used to good advantage
now. The school administration
, faces a hard problem in this matter
One suggestion that has been made
is that the present high school
building should be used to relieve
the grade school congestion and that
a new high school building should
! be built.

SENIOR ENGLISH

The senior English class has just
finished reading Hamlet, and is now
having critical study of the play.
Themes were written relating to the
subject of the plot in Hamlet to en-
able the students to show their or
iginality in writing. One subject for
writing was The love affair of Ham
let and Ophelia before Shakespeare
takes it up until Ophelia's death.
The other was Hamlet, as you like
it, which was to make the play end
as a comedy instead of a tragedy.

gram and spiced up the program
with many witty sayings Mr. King
of the Tacoma chamber of commerce
also gave very interesting talk.
On Tuesday, November 10, we
convened again at $50 and received
reports of committees. The report
of the committees on resolutions was
very complete and comprehensive, a
copy of which will be sent to each
chamber of commerce represented at
the meeting. We spent an hour and
a half in open forum, discussing the
problems of our organization and
proceeded to the election of direc-
tors to fill vacancies and the cleo
ton of a new president, Dr. LaViol-
lete, of BremertOn, to take the place
Of a. J. Rhodes, retiring on account
OF being a director in the National
Chamber OF Commerce. At II
O'Clock we adjourned to the Palm
cafe, where we had luncheon and an
impromptu program.
This closed our program for the
meeting except for the meeting Of
the board, which took place in the
afternoon.
II consider it was a great meeting
and predict that the state chamber
d commerce will be a great force
in the future in the development of
the state of Washington and the solv-
ing of great industrial problems.
Every one was very enthusiastic and
well pleased with the results of the
session. We were royalty entertained
by the Ellensburg chamber and the
citizens and left the city feeling that
we had really worth while meeting.

Manitoba's Yield of Wheat.

Four quarts of wheat 10 1918 furnished
the seed for the frat harvest ever gath
cred in Red River Valley. II Lord Sci.
kinks settlers had not eked out their
larders with buffalo meat and venison
the scant harvest would not have kept
them from starving to death.
An impressive story of century ol
change is told by Manitoba's wheat bar
vest this year. The provincial Depart
ment of Agriculture estimates the CROP
at 1922 800 bushels, or an average yield
of 17.5 bushels to the acre. The yield
last year was 0,975, ,2s0 bushels or an av
erage of 1425 bushels to the acre. The
estimated value of the harvest to the
farmers is $117,500,0 900. Much Of the
wheat, 1t is said, will grade No. and
No. Northern.
The Hudson's Bay Company was lord
of the wilderness in 1918. The Red River
Valley, which was the scene of the hard
ships OF Lord Selkirk's pioneers, has be-
come the garden spot Of Manitoba, and
is one great picture Of farm abundance
