Historic G. A. R. Flag Pole
Succumbs to City Ordinance

to the state encampment. Assist
ing in the ceremonies were b. r.
Taylor, j. II. Robertson, Wiley Camp
bell aud John Letter now deceased.
and Mark Taylor, Thos. Mathews.
Ed. Laney and others. The cere-
monies were watched by hundreds of
citizens who cheered the veterans to
an echo as they presented the pole
to the people of the city of Pullman.
Previously the city had used a
flag pole at the same location which
was over 100 feet high, in two sec
tions, but the slender pole was dan
gerous during high winds and was
condemned, the sturdy G. A. r. pole
replacing it. Now the pole at the
city hall becomes the official city
flag pole
Twenty-Five years ago. according
to A. B, Baker, the G. A. r. was
one of pullmans strongest organiza-
tons, being exceeded in numbers
only by the |. 0. o. F. lodge. From
a membership Of over 80, the local
post has dwindled to only nine, and
a few years more will see the ranks
of the beloved organization almost
depleted. The grizzled veterans
have lost much of the vigor of their
youth, but none of their public spirit
and patriotism. Local members say
that the organization has served it's
purpose, that of instilling in the
hearts of the American people the
spirit of patriotism and democracy,
and that the members are now ready
to be relieved of this duty at the
hands of the w. r. c., the American
Legion and kindred patriotic organ
izations.
The old G. A. r. flag pole is gone,
but forever in the hearts of all true
citizens will remain, in the fresh
ness of its earliest days, that love
and respect for the men who made
democracy possible which was so
manifest at the memorable flag
raising ceremonies.

STRONG COURSE IN
MARKETING FARM PRODUCTS

A strong course in the marketing
of farm products will be offered as
part of the short course in agricul-
ture which will be held at the State
College January to February "a.
There is so much interest in this
subject and so great a need for un-
derstanding the principals of mar
keting, according to Dean Edw. c.
Johnson, who made the announce
ment this morning, that this work
will be made one of the features of
the short course. 1t will be offered
by the members of the staff of the
department of economic science and
history, in connection with the reg
ular schedule of agricultural sub
jects and evryOne who attends the
short course will have opportunity
to take this work.

WILL GIVE MASQUERADE BALL

A big masquerade ball on the even
ing of November 23, the night before
Thanksgiving, will be given by the
local camp of the Woodmen OF the
Word. At the regular meeting last
evening a committee was appointed
to prepare for the affair and ordered
to see that the best music possible
is obtained. Invitations will be sent
out i'm the near future and no
effort will be spared to make the
dance a big success.
Plans were presented and ap-
proved for the Ten Per Cent In
crease campaign and special induce
ments will be offered for applications
to the order. 1t is anticipated that
there will be big class to initiate
in the near future and work to that
end will be prosecuted vigorously.

SUGGEST BRIDGES IL
CITY AUTO PARK

The construction of one or two
bridges across the South Palouse in
the city tourist park to make more
camping space available was recon-
mended by the weekly park vista
ton committee Tuesday The COM
mittee, which included Clyde Myers
and H. B. Thompson, recommended
against the proposed changing of the
river channel to provide more space,
because of the cost, which they said
would be out of proportion to the re-
suits obtained The committee sug-
gested the placing of signs prohibit
ing the cutting of trees for wood and
the construction of a fence along
the western boundary Nineteen

Probably Fastest Running Animal.

One of the fastest as well as one OF
the most interesting animals known Is
the cheetah, the hunting leopard of In.
dla. These animals on account of the
great speed which they attain, are
tanned by the Indians and trained to
telOpe, which can clear 10-foot fence
without apparent effort at a single
leap, Is at the height of burst Of
frightened speed the cheetahs are re-
leased They stretch along the ground,
gaining on the antelopes every second
and finally bring them down with
well-timed bound which places the
fangs Of the cheetah In the throat of
the quarry. The hunters at once cut
the throat of the antelope, and the
cheetah drinks the blood. Next the
thigh of the antelope is slit open and
the cheetah tears away small portion
Of the game he has captured. This Is
his reward. His muzzle is replaced,
and he is placed In his cage until the
next hunt.
While the cheetah is known as a
leopard. he Is not true feline. He
has the arching body of Il greyhound
and the feet of dog, while his head
Is distinctly that of cat. The animal
Is rarely seen In the public geological
collections for the reason that he soon
dies because of the lack of exercise.

CHARM IN OLD GRAVEYARDS
Pleasant Spots Where One May
Mediate on the Fleeing Pro-
eession Of Life.

There IS charm about old grave
yards. They are to us, says the Spring
Held Republican, what mellow autumn
afternoons cannot express. They are
deserted old houses, haunted by former
owners, In them Is the reminder Of
other days that makes up the atmos-
phere of old theaters where many IA
nous Hamlets and Lady Teazles have
rod the boards. There one can follow
THE hoary chronicle OF the ages" back
to the beginning of time.
There are little graveyards by the
sea with waving grasses and wild Gin
namon pinks where sea captains are
laid to rest. There are others shut off
from the business section of large
cities by gates that close at shutdown,
where the founders Of the city find
peace after their labors. Into these
secluded spots pert Notwithstanding
stenographers go to eat their MONDAY
lunch and discuss their new hats and
new beauX, with only an occasional
one more imaginative than her friends
to give a thought to the long dead and
ponder on the leeting procession of
life. There are still other graveyards
with clipped hedges and formal garden
plots, reminiscent of the clipped and
patterned lives that have been care
fully laid away there to rest. Hedged
In by convention all their lives and
shadowed by cypress--hedges and cy-
press are their lot after death.
However graveyards differ, they are
all friendly resting place for the idle
wanderer or the vagabond poet A
pleasant picture that of young Walter
Pater going to the graveyard and sing
ing Greek songs to the birds there.
Pleasant, too, the picture of Thomas
Gray writing his elegy In a country
churChyard.
Beware, however, the modern grave
yard. Where granite stands up glsten.
ing In the sun. where flowers are fresh
on new-made graves, and funeral pro-
cessions may be met, Is not the place
to wander In. There grief Is too near
and too new. Choose Gods acre
where the grass Is overgrown, where
weeping willows and grlmaclng cher
ubs decorate the stones, and where the
last line of the eptaph is sunk into
the ground. Every graveyard has at
least 1t old part. mellowed by the
passing of time.

IMPOSSIBLE TO SAVE" CHIN,
S"o''S OF Western World unsvailina
According to Writer, IN Face Of
Her Social System.

The chronic roOt.cause at Chinn's
trouble lies in the Chinese sn.i,l
"SSleh, which renders an excessively
hlgh birth rate inevitable nud ,he

sure thus created can never he

Chinese civiiization) obtains and China

TO produce three generations to
Luropes two, SO long must plague.
peStilence and famine continue tn
adjust the lneX0rable balance between
a redundant population and limited
food supply. They have done SO for
thousands of years, declares j. o. p.
Bland, in Asia Magazine.
Those who, ignoring the economic
results of the Chinese social system
propose To save" her by means OF a
new culture or by industrialism or
by democratic institutions, may be
animated by the best of intentions
but none Of their panaceas can ever
remove the fundamental cause of
China's weakness, which is also that
of her time-tested strength. History
and science alike forbid the belief that
the structural character and race
mind of the nation, which has de-
veloped its own highly specialized
and fundamentally moral type of
civilization under the influences of
the family system and Confucianlsm,
can be rapidly changed In their essen
tails, either bN moral CruSades or
political innovations. Nor can these
ever avert from the masses Of the
people calamities such as the famine
now raging in north China, which
have been from time immemoral part
of the accepted order of things And
while we are on this subject it is
our religious and philanthropic efforts
to save China include recognition of
the rO0t-cauSe of her material afflic-
tions, or any attempt to deal with 1t,
many of them tend directly to Increase
the already intoerable pressure Of
population upon the available means
of subsistence and thus, all uncon-
sciously, to aggravate the eyer-latent
elements of unrest When one reflects
that every year out Of the 20,0OO0O0
or SO of Chinese babies born, at least
100000 on an average are doomed
to perish in infancy, and that if, by
! some means, these lives were saved,
even during the space Of ten years,
the result could only be terrible in
crease of oyercrowding, poverty and
disease, the problem of Saving China
by virtue of a democratic constitution,
by the building of railways or by the
consultations of the Christian faith,
takes on a new and pitiful complexion.

Rabinowitz and Magistrate Ber-
nard Rosenblatt who acted as
chairman. DR.. Levine and Rev.
Maslinsky' were particularly out
spoken in their utterances re-
garding the failure of the Amer
lean Zionist organization to take
any steps in furtherance of the
campaign of the Keren Hayes
sod, a fund which was decided
upon at the last Zionist World
conference in London.
The conference adopted reso-
lutions indicating it's readiness to
support the World Organization
and it's leaders insofar as it af-
fects the foundation fund and to
make special preparations to re-
ceive and aid the Zionist delega-
ton which is coming to America
from abroad headed by Professor
Chain Weizman. There was no
one at the conference who took
any exception to the resolutions
adopted or the measures decid-
ed upon. In supporting the reso-
lutions, Mr.. Louis Lipsky, one
of the oldest leaders of organized
Zionism in America, declared
that to the extent that the Keren
Hayessod was a measure adopt
ed by a World Conference held
last year at London, it was the
duty of every Zionist in America
as everywhere else to carry out
the decision of that conference in
accordance with the constitu-
tional laws of the Zionist World
Organization. DR.. Levine as we'll
as Rev. Masliansky indicated in
various ways that the chief rea-
son why the American Zionist
leaders are not yet in line doing
the necessary and important
work required by the present mo-
ment, is due chiefly to the fact
that they do not realize the &C
ludl SlludllOll Ill dlCoIlllC dllu
that they fail to understand that
now individuals and section can
no longer achieve the realization
of Pa1estine's redemption but
that the people in it's entirety
must be brought into the work
and given the fullest opportunity
to participate. The committee
which called the conference was
empowered to act and make all
necessary arrangements for the
reception of the European dele
cation and the furtherance of a
campaign for the Keren Hayes
sod. ....~ ~..:.
