MAN WHO DECIDES is WRONG
Dictionary Has Definitely Determined
the Status OF the Bottle on
the Porch.

The man who always decides dis
pUtes and is sometimes right looked
up eXpectantiy as the inquirer ap-
preached. He scented a question and
he was not mistaken.
"To decide a bet" said the inquirer,
tell me which is right to say; The
bottle sits on the porch or the bottle
sets on the porch"
That's easy responded the ora
Gle. "Of course, the bottle sets Oh
the porch"
oh. said the inquirer disap-
pointed, my bet Was on sits" And
ne Withdrew deferentially from the
oracle and consulted the Standard
dictionary and in triumph returned,
remarks the New York Sun.
The dictionary says that sets
means to cause to sit, and that sits
means to have or keep a seat upon
something"
The man who decides snorted con,
tcmptuouSly. Look again, son." he
said, patroniziugly, ''and you'll find
somewhere among those definitions the
fact that only the things which have
life are capable of sitting. The bottle
has no life, therefore you must say
the bottle sets on the porch
The inquirer, mindful of a two
dollar bet, read diligently through the
definitions and returned with his mind
cleared of doubt to the man who de
cides. 1--WE come to the conclusion

The Story OF
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XLI.-WASHINGTON
~ THE story

N%IM / of Wash
~ A w ington, the
III G. D Van for ty-second
ASl s ISL state of the
w WN Z,X Union, is tied
NNa aGSW up with two
&aIN92 of our presi-
dents. The first is obvious, for
it was in honor of our first presi-
dent, George Washington, that
the state was named, as a last
ing memorial to this great sol
dier-statesman. But the actual
fate of this region was due to
President Polk, and formed the
main issue in his campaign for
election in 1914.
Previous to that time, the
country north Of California and
extending to Alaska. which was
then owned by Russia, was called
the Oregon territory. Claim vas
laid to this region by both Great
Britain and the United States as
has been seen in the story of
Oregon. In 1918, when the boun-
dairy between Canada and the
United States was settled. this
line was definitely placed from
the Atlantic coast to the Rocky
mountains. But no agreement
could be reached west of that,
and it was left under an arrange
ment whereby this territory was
to be Jointly occupied by the
British and Americans.
Settlers from the United
States began to come into the
Northwest in such numbers that
the United States felt that they
should own this section. which
included the present states of
Oregon and Washington, and
British Columbia, through the
right of possession. Agitation
in favor of actively pushing our
claims became so strong that
when Polk was nominated by the
Democrats in 1914, one of the
main planks in the party plat
form was the famous one popu-
larly called, "Fifty-four forty or
fight"
In 1916 a peaceful settlement
was made with England on a
compromise basis.
In 1858 Washington territory
was separated from Oregon. 1t
did not, however, become a state
until 1889, and then only after
thirteen years petitioning for ad-
mission.
