V. A. Ds story of the frozen fish that
came to life in the cooking pot. Then
Il correspondent naval officer, 1t
should be sad-easily puts that to
shame
AN interesting experiment was
tried some little time ago he writes
to us. with an ordinary herring.
1.-The fish was put into large bowl
Of salt water and every day small
quantity of water was removed and
an equal quantity of fresh was sub
stituted until eventually the fish lived
and thrived In purely fresh water.
''The owner WAS so pleased with the
success of his experiment that he then
tried removing Il very small quantity
of water daily until the bowl was
empty. and found that the herring did
excellently, entirely without water,
and as he WAS 50 lively in the empty
bowl he had to put him in a cage.
Here he lived happily, hopping
from perch TO perch just like bird,
until one day some sudden noise star
tied him and he fell into his water
trough and-was drowned"

San Francisco Especially Following
the recent naming of state campaign
directors for the eight Western states
in the Baptist New World Movement
for $1,000 900 state conferences will
be held, beginning March 18th. by the
chalrmen of the county committees
who will have supervision of the cam.
paign IN the different counties of the
Western states.
The Baptist New World Movement
is In line with the campaigns that
have been conducted by other
churches for five-year programs OF
church strengthening, and for the dedi-
cation of church men and women for
missionary service. 1t is a campaign
being conducted independent of. but
in cooperation with the interchurch
movement now under way throughout
this nation The Baptist campaign
ends in an intensive every-member
canvass during the week from April rs

The Peshastin Fruitgrowers asso-
citation has contracted with the Wen
natchee Light and Power company
for power for their plant at Peshas-
tin and line will be run up the val
ley for the power plant at Dryden.
This will enable many ranchers in
the valley to have electric power and
other convenences heretofore denied
them. 1t is also likely that the Tum-
water Light and Water company will
make connections with the line at
Peshastin so that their overload will
be easily taken care of hereafter,
thus doing away with the necessity
of putting in new power plant up
the Tumwaaer canyon. Such an ar
rangement, if perfected, will be fine
solution of the light and power prob
lem at Leavenworth.

WILL BUILD ADDITION
TO PESHASTIN SCHOOL

A meeting was held at Peshastin
Wednesday evening for the purpose
of discussing school Improvements
and the gathering went on record by
unanimous vote in favor of an addi-
ton to the present building. This is
fine. A neighborhood in which all are
agreed as to school improvements is
something novel and the people of
the Peshastin district are to be con
graduated upon their unanimity
The greatest legacy that we can
leave our children is education and
physical development, and that is
where Peshastin is taking a leading
part.

To increase Ministers Salaries
One of the principal ends to be
sought as a result of the New World
Movement is an increase in the sal
aries OF the Baptist Clergymen. The
average salary received today among
the ordained Baptist ministers OF the
Northern Baptist Church is $l.S7 per
day. or s6S3 per year.
The correction of this condition"
said Mr.. Protzman, discussing the
campaign today, is one OF the primary
objects to be sought as a result of the
success OF the New World Movement
in relation to the survey showing the
needs OF the church for a five-year
period of strengthening and church
development both at home and in the
missionary field abroad. AS an import.
ant part of this tive-year program, the

The value of words is going mp. at

have decided that the artistic values
of the words and music of poem are

States and Canada the writer of the
words of n song gets only pittance
of the royalties or n small sum ont

of the most popular balln j. have

Ais EXTENDING EASTWARD.

PORTLAND, April Is. Score
Manager, =. l.. Abbey, of the
Loyal Legion of Loggers q Lumber
men announces the extension of the
organization into the State of Mon
tana. He states that for year past
workmen from that territory have
been urging the step in order that
Al conditions as to length of work
ing day, overtime, living conditions in
camps, etc, might prevail.
Montana employers are divided on
the question of what should consti-
tute a days work. many of them OPP
Grating 10 hours, some Q, while 9TH
ers are on the eight hour day, which
is required before the Al can be es-
tablished
The first big lumber company in
Montana to have the Al pennant
raised over its plant was The Somers
Lumber Co, at Somers, where field
officer l.. S. Dalton, who organized
have signed the Al pledge card with
great enthusiasm in the anticipation
of the reduction of the working day
from 10 to hours, with greater pay
for the eight hours than they have re-
ceved for ten. A Al Local has also
been established at the Mann Lum-
Der Co., Henderson, Montana, others
are expected to be ready in the near
future.
Secretary Manager Abbey states
that requests from California SINH
lar to those from Montana have been
received and that steps to organize
that territory may be taken in the
near future. 1t will thus be seen that
the doctrine of mutual understand
ing between employer and employee
as provided by the AIS is spreading
eastward from the Pacific North
west.
