FORGOTTEN SAVINGS

by the banking law The list is growing slowly
and steadily.
The least OF those accounts is So The largest run
into the tens of thousands Altogether they amount
many millions
All that money lies in the banks forgotten. Inter

This IS phase Of the savings game that should
not be overlooked. Some OF he dead" accounts

gotten about them Most of them however are
probably dead because the depositorS themselves
have died and left no record of them. A husband
opens savngs account without telling his wife or
wife without telling her husband and in the end
neither profits by IT, Or a single person does the
same. without telling any member of his family
The lesson is obvious. Every depostor should
either let his immediate relatives know of his saw

be readily accessible in of his death or dis
appearance The same consideration applies to other
documents indicating the possession of property OF
any sort.

CONTRAST.

CONTRAST.
It's failure makes the vict'ry sweet.

Knows not how good it is TO win.
The rough road oft is hard to fare,
But only they appreciate
The level. miles, unknown 10 care,
Who've had the rough to navi-

Men weary Of the cloudless sky,
They need the darkness and the

If there were never tears 10 shed
And never burdens hard 70 bear,
Though round US roses blOssomed

More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

WHY?
The grasshopper sings through the
long summer days,
No arduous labor does he,
He foolishly follows frivohty's ways
In reckless and sensuous glee.
He never lays up any chow IN his
lair
On which to subsist when the mead
And all of the moralists loudly de-
clare
How shortly a corpse he will be.
The ant labors hard every day in
the week,
He stores. in his hole in the
ground,
Provisions 10 feed on when breezes
blow bleak
And the wolf and the winter come
round.
He never sits round with a girl on
his knee
Or bucks the roulette wheel or goes
on a spree,
And all Of the moralists freely agree
That his methods are proper and
sound.
You'd think that the grasshopper's
fondness for fun
And his silly addiction 70 mirth
Would presently Danish the son OF
a gun
From his soft little place on the
earth
You'd think that the ant who en-
ploys all bis hours
In enhancing his native acquisitive
powers
Would rest. in old age. in the fairest
bowers
AS the righteous reward Of his
worth.
Yet grasshoppers swarm from the
north every year
And feast on the ripening grain
They eat every blade. every leaf.
every spear
Again and again and again.
While the ants have to work or they
don't get along
Which seems 10 establish that some
thing IL wrong.
You may know the moral OF this
little song
To me II IS not very plain,

CITY DAIRY COWS
BEING INSPECTED
state Dairy Inspector Giving Tuber.
culin Test to Bovines--Law VIII
BE Enforced

Dr. J. II Martin, state veterinary
inspector, was in Pullman this week
inspecting the cows of the city and
surrounding country. The new city
dairy law requires that DO milk shall
be offered for sale in the city Of
Pullman unless the cows have been
tested for tuberculosis and found
free of the disease. The larger
diaries have been regularly inspected
for some time past but this is the
first attempt to bring the one and
two COW dairies under the laws to
insure citizens clean milk and about
$50 cows were treated by the inspect
or Tuesday and Wednesday. The re-
suits will not be known until Fri
day and Saturday, when Dr. Martin
will return to observe the results of
the treatment. All COWS that react
will be condemned and no owner
will be permitted to sell milk in Pull
man until he has received a certifi-
cate from the city clerk showing that
his cows have been tested and found
free of tuberculosis
No city dairy inspector has been
appointed. the law having been held
in allegiance until the COW testing
was gone through with. AS soon as
the preliminaries are out of the way
the city administration will proceed
to enforce the law and regularly in
spect all diaries of three or more
COWS for cleanliness and take sam
plies of the milk to determine the bac-
terra and butterfat content.
