NTOSEY WAS trying his best 10 get
N home last Saturday morning and
was staggering east on 35th St.
He paused for a minute at 3oth and
Prairie Avenue to rest his swelling feet
and looked upward in pain. His eyes
rested ON a figure in boomers. silk
stockings. and showing shock OF
bobbed hair, red lips and arehed eye
brows. black as night Nosey wabbled
a hand in the direction OF the figure
and the red lips opened to say. "Flcilo
km, first flat up" This was enough for
Nosey, tired as he was, so he hurled his
shoe which he had for a moment re
moved at the figure i'll the window and
barely missed his mark, for which he
was thankful because as bad as his feet
hurt, he did not want to walk IN the
snow in his sock feet. Nosey naturally
inquiries if this figure ever called to you,

tell the passersby that there are
rooms for rent there. Nosey saw one
OF these and has been planning for
some time to enter several OF these to
see how they look inside and get
acquainted with the people who live
there. Nosey got into one oil these
nice houses last week and laid it
down first" for a week The first thing
he heard was an argument about black
pajamas. One gentleman claimed he
had never seen such an article The
other informed him that the pair he
| just took off were as black as any pair
of pajamas could ever get. Now this
was the real cause of the excitement
which drew such large crowd in front
OF the house that morning even though
the landlady told the crowd that il was

were other things which Nosey has to

FARMERS DESERVE HELP

The case for higher tariff on farm
products is simple The American
farmer did his part in the war. He
received the goyernment-regulated
prices for his chief products, unless
ho was cotton-planter The recent
sharp decline in wholesale foodstuffs
prices has hit him harder than any
other large producer-harder, per
haps, than anybody else. Since No
yember, 1919, there has been an ay-
erage decrease of 10 per cent in
wholesale commodity prices But
farm products have shown decrease
of 81 per cent Even clothing prices
declined only % per cent.
Agriculture thus has suffered dis
proportionately in the process Of
price readjustment. Too rapid con-
traction in such a basic industry
must have an injurious effect on
trade and industry generally. The
government is justified in extending
relief to the agriculturist, especially
relief which will result from check
ing foreign competition. The farm
er is entitled to a breathing spell, at
least until the price reductions on
the things he buys have a chance to
catch up with those on the things he
sells
a Inf t11A =,
wheat, of which we usually have a
surplus for export, is not a flat ad-
dition clapped on the domestic price.
World market conditions interfere
with such a process But it will help
to offset the exchange advantage
which the Canadian seller now en-
joys. He has every inducement, as
the Argentine seller also has, to
market his wheat in this country
because the dollar he receives here
is worth more than his own dollar
or its peso equivalent.
In the case of wool and wooden
goods, tariff duty goes. roughly
speaking. into the domestic price.
/ With other commodities named in
the Fordney bill a part of the duty
goes in. But with farm products as
low as they are, the increment. what
ever it may be. will not put a serious
added burden on consumption. For
some time to come it will help the
farmer, and if it relieves his pincn
it VIII also help to steady the general
decline in prices.-New York Tri-
bune.

POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL
FOR VETERINARIANS

Fhe annual postgraduate school
for veterinarians of the Pacific
Northwest will open at the State Col
lege on January 10, according to Dr..
Il e. Wegner, of the college of vet
Urinary science of the State College.
1t will be a four-day session, clos
ing on the 18th.
To assist the local veterinary fac
ulty in giving the work, the services
of DR.. A. T. Kinsley, from the Kins-
ley laboratories of Kansas City, have
been secured.
Other veterinarians whose services
have been secured for the giving of
special lectures and demonstrations
are DR.. w. H. Lytle, state veterinar-
ian of Oregon; B. T. Sims, professor
Of veterinary medicine of the Oregon
Agricultural College; Dr. G. w.
Moorehead, county veterinarian, Sa-
lem, Oregon.
The postgraduate session this
year, says DR.. Wegner, is being put
on jointly by the State College and
the Washington veterinary medical
association and the Oregon Veterin-
airy Medical association.
DR.. Wegner says that a prominent
feature of the program will be dis

THE TEACHERS OPPORTUNITY

The strength of the United States
depends upon the practical patriot
ism and sound economic thought of
her future citizens. These charac-
teristics. must be developed in the
daily life of the school.
Economists agree that the uniyer-
sal adoption OF habits of intelligent
saving will strengthen our nation
tremendously. When every wage
Garner has a reserve fund of money
the country will be sound econo-
mically. socially and politically
The teacher who encourages pu-
pills to earn money and to invest in
thrift stamps and war savings stamps
is doing much for their economic
strength and practical patriotism.
Each child who buys stamps feels
a partnership in the government; he
learns the wisdom of investing his
money in securities that are abso-
lutely safe; he becomes familiar in
a practical way with compound in
Ierest; and as he sticks stamp after
stamp upon the card he has a visual
demonstration of how savings grow.
Faith without works is dead.
Thrift without safe investment such
as government savings securities. is
robbed of its benefits Its virtue
lies not only in its principles but in
the actual practice of investment
Each year thousands Of boys and
girls in the United States are de-
prived of a college education be-
cause they lack money.
You can remedy this situation
among your pupils by starting them
on the road to saving early In life

We know that Washington is not

Annually, Washington's fisheries
produce from ten millions to twenty
millions; the output of the lumber
mills is about 100 millions; the pro.

The Washington Water Power

this issue of The Herald, as well as
for a vast amount of inconvenience,
annoyance and considerable finan-
cial loss to many of its patrons.
On account of break in the line
which carries the electric current,
Pullman and several other towns

day. All the machines in the Herald
office. the Pullman laundry and sew
eral other local establishments are
run by electricity and while the

a wheel Neither could the house
wives, who have installed electric
ranges, prepare their noon or even
ing meals.
Occasional accidents to the power
line are unavoidable and could be
overlooked. but during the past few
weeks they have occurred with an
inexcusable frequency which indi-
Gates that something is radically
wrong Instead of devoting so much
time and energy to inducing people
to install more electrical appliances
in their houses, the Washington
Water Power company had better

and improving its power line and 10
establishing auxiliary steam plants,
which can be used in case of emer-
gency.
Common sense would suggest to
any one that it is folly to keep in
creasing the load on rickety wagon
II is equally foolish to keep on in
stalling additional electric lights and
appliances when the line which car
ries the power to operate those lights
and appliances is deteriorating and
breaking down.
The occasional shutting off of the
current for few minutes, while an
noying. might be tolerated, but
shutting it off for several hours at
time causes too much inconveni-
ence and financial loss to its users
to be endured without a vigorous
protest. Electric light and power
are public utilities and the companies
furnishing them are under obliga-
lions to render efficient and unin-
terrupted service to their patrons
Unless the Washington Water Power
company takes prompt and vigorous
steps to improve its line and to es-

matter should be called to the at
