To the Members of the Legislature
Washington.
Greetings:
We, the members of the short
course class in agriculture at the
State College of Washington, all of
us practical farmers, and many of us
farm owners, take this means of
showing our appreciation for the
maintenance of the short course in
agriculture and for the instruction
and help we have received here.
We believe, and have experienced,
that the short course in agriculture
has done and is doing much to help
those future citizens and farmers of
the state who find themselves unable,
for various reasons, to take the regu-
lar course in agriculture at the State
college and thus secure all the adj
Vantages of the experimental and re-
search work that has been accom-
pllshed in the science of agriculture.
Not having had any educational
privileges and finding ourselves I'M
able to attend the full college course,
and still desiring to equip ourselves
as fully as possible with agricultural
knowledge in order that we may not

CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST

Ezra Palmer, c. $. b., Talks to Big
Audience in Liberty Theatre
Sunday Evening

A big audience greeted Ezra Pal
mer, c. S. B., of Denver, Colo, mem
Der of the board of lectureship Of
the Mother church, the First Church
OF Christ, Scientist, in Boston, who
delivered an interesting address at
the Liberty theatre Sunday evening.
THE fad of surgical operations,
stimulated by morbid fears and sub
tie mental suggestions, never gets at
the root of an ill.," declared Mr..
Palmer The effects may be re-
moved by the operation, but the men
tai cause remains to bear fruit after
its kind, the latter may engulf the
patient in blacker cloud of fear and
despair. The human thought must
be purified before we can hope TO
cope successfully with sickness, pain
and disease.
Experience has proved that the
human mind can not control the body
tremendously. The reason for this
is clearly apparent to the Christian
~ scientific thinker. The body is the
expression, the objectification, of hui
man mortal thought.
IF we believe in and fear old age
sickness, contagion, heat or cold, we
may have these wrong conditions
manifested on the body thus proving

medicine, Jesus declared that out OF

Life is God, and God is ever present,

MEMORIAL BUILDING
PLANS ARE OUTLINED
Committee Urges Various Organiza-
tons to Name Members to CO.
operate With General Com
mittee

AT a joint meeting of committees
from various organizations within
the city. held last Friday night.
general plans and purposes for
Pullman's memorial building were
outlined, From the support re-
ceived by the committee from the
chamber of commerce, they feel as
sured that a memorial building, to
serve as a community center, will
be erected in Pullman this next sum-
mer. Following is the committees
report to date;
1t is a well known fact to every
citizen in Pullman and the surround
ing country, that our city is in dire
need of large meeting place, or
community center. From time to
time we have been presented with
propositions to provide such a build
ing, but always there has been the
unsurmountable difficulty of the up
keep of any building which would
fit the needs of this entire COM
munity.
Under the present plans, a build
ing is to be erected which will meet
all the requirements of the national
guard, and at the same time serve
as true community gathering place,
suitable for all functions either large
or small. The state will pay suf-
ficient rental to insure the upkeep
and will also furnish a caretaker,
so we, the committee. feel that now
Is the opportune time for Pullman
to erect a memorial to those men
who made the supreme sacrifice dur
ing the late war, and that memorial
to be a community building.
The work to be accomplished
falls under the following three heads:
a. The securing of a suitable To-
cation.
90 The securing of suitable
plans.
"3. The securing of the necessary
funds.
"As a full detailed report is to
be prepared within the next two
weeks, this committee urges each
organization within, or tributary to
Pullman, i. e.. Grange, church, fra
ternal order, women's club, etc, to
appoint memorial building commit
tee to work in conjunction with this
committee. Any individual having
an idea on any of the above three
phases Of the work is urged to con-
fer with some member of the cham

earliest possible moment

Pre-War Charges for Shines
Result in Midnight Race Riot

With a shower of large chunks OF
coal, the flash of firearms and much
Afro-American dialect (some of il
unprintable), war broke out at the
Pullman Shining Parlors on Grand
street at midnight Saturday, and for
time it seemed likely that it would
be necessary to call out the proposed
new guard company to quell the dis
turbance.
The trouble started when Hip
Richardson, colored, called on Char
lie Russell, also colored and known
as the South Carolina banjo king, -
and demonstrated with him for
shining shoes at pre-war prices

king, but found nothing but vacancy.

AMERICAN LEGION
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Two Teams to Compete for Honors.
With Oyster Supper in View
Joint Meeting Held Tuesday

With n. w. Cairns captain of the
down town team and A. C. Han
sen at the head of the college"
team, membership drive has been
launched by Maynard-Price post of
the American Legion with a view to
enlisting every service man in the
community in the organization. The
drive will close Tuesday, March 30
when a big oyster supper will be
served for the entire membership,
with the losers in the membership
contest providing entertainment for
the winners. On April 1 the men,
bership fee of the local post will be
advanced to $40, and the drive is
intended to raise the membership to
the highest possible point under the
present low initiation fees. During
the membership drive an effort will
be made to round up all back dues
At present the new membership fee
is Sc, with 81 the fee for reinstate-
ment.
A joint social session of Maynard
Price post and the Women's Auxili-
airy was held Tuesday evening. The
free trophy show and program
planned for Washington's birthday,
February %, was postponed because
of the inability of the post to secure
hall for the occasion.
A feature of the session Tuesday
evening was the music furnished by
the grade school orchestra, a group
of 10 youngsters under the leader
ship of Miss Mckee, supervisor of
music for the local schools. Six of
the juvenile musicians furnished mu-
sic for the dance which followed the
entertainment, playing the late dance
music in a manner that marked
them as finished musicians. 1t was
the first public appearance of the
orchestra and they made a distinct
hit. n. w. Cairns gave several hui
morous and patriotic readings, and
a saxaphone duet and guitar solo add
ed variety to the program.
The memorial building fund OF the
local post has now passed the $4,000
mark. with every indication that
$4,000 will be available in the fund
within the next 80 days.

Why So Many Unemployed7

10 the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger.
olr-I believe the reason there are so many
because the people who employ labor are
uylhe TO force down wages. We hre all
aware OF the small wages that were paid
, oe,ore the war and how mills and fac.
,ories were compelled to raise the price OF
i.abor In order to hold them and keep them
from going Into shipyards and munition
pants. Now that these yards and plants
no longer AFFORD employment and the men
arc out or work. the manufacturers and
mlllmen are not offering a living wage TO
these people to return. ana in order 10 force
tnem TO the reduction they are Keeping
their mills and factories closed In order to
stervo them Into submission.
This seems quite unfair. These factory
ana MIL owners made plenty OF money dur
ing the war period and for several years
thereafter. and they could well afford 10
pay labor the amount they require to live
until mouse rents and all living expenses
come down. Then tho working people viii
Dc satisfied to accept n reduction In wages
more can be no other rsaeon for the mills
and factories being closed. except that II
misft be that they nave large stocks on
hand which they want to dispose OF before
beginning operation again. This doubt
very much, at least In nine out Of every ten
cases.
fully appreciate that we do not have the
foreign markets for American goods that
we had before the war, but with q little
enort foreian buyers would enter this mar
ket especially II the Government was In
olined to assist the American manufacturers
In getting their goods across the sea. The
psnicky condition that exists Ia no doubt due
10 the war. for such a condition follows
every war, but there Is so much money In
the hands OF the American peoule OF all
clasBea that I feel sure that there Ia no rsa-
son for hard tirnes in America II the people
with money would be fair to labor.
LABOR made these manufacturers rich.
