may be obtained by writing to Dean

Special attention has been given by
Mr. Mccall and Mr.. Holtz to the dry
farming section Of Washington, or the
area with Is inches rainfall or less.
There moisture is the limiting factor

The work reported is unique in
showing that moisture absorption by
the soil is quite as important as the
quantity of precipitation or the re-
tention. The regulation Of the ab-
sorption Of moisture is the most i'm
pCrtrant factor in determining what
tillage methods are to be used.

ARMlSTICE DAY REQUESTED
BY GOVERNOR HART

Governor Hart has issued the fol-
Lowing proclamation, declaring Nov.
II, Armistice Day, as a legal holiday.
November II, 1918, will be re-
membered throughout the ages as Ar
mistice Day, terminating hostilities
between the United States and the Al
lied Powers on one hand and the Cen
tral Powers of Europe on the other.
and while it is of great Importance to
the United States of America and the
world, it is peculiarly significant to
the state of Washington, for it was
or the 18th day of November. 1889
that the former territory of Wash
irgton was by presidential proclama-
tior formally admitted as a state Of
the Union under a duly adopted con-
stitution and it was upon the 1lth
lay of November, 1919, while peace
fully parading in celebration of the
first anniversary Of the signing of the
aImistice, that four returned service
men were shot from ambush in the
city of Centralia by members of A
radical organization.
"This years November Il is to be
further set aside and consecrated bv
the burial of an unknown American
soldier, killed in France, who will be
laid to rest in Arlington National
Cemetery as representative of those
thousands of unknown dead that still
lie in foreign soil.
Legal Holiday Declared.

governor Of the state of Washington.

SCHOOL NOTES.

As previously y stated, the County
Teachers Institute will convene in
Wenatchee next week, Oct. 10. 20 and
21, so that there will be no school
those three days. There will be
school on Monday and Tuesday of
next week, however, and it is import
ant that all pupils attend those two
days.
Mr.. Hastings has completed the
overhauling of the stage end basket

supporting iron pipes are now set
back on the stage so they do not con-

For this reason, paradoxical as It
may sound. often the larger the gall
stone the safer It is for its possessor.
Some Of the largest gall.stones in
our museum collections, as big as
a turkeys egg, which must have
distended the gall.bladder almost to
the bursting point, were found at
post-mortem examination in the
bodies Of individuals who never had
even suspected their presence dur
ing life.
MIDDLE SIZES PAINFUL.
Thsi is one case where safety lies
not in the golden mean" but at
the extreme. The smallest gall
stones, ranging from a bird-shot to
a pea in size, are also compare
lively harmless, and can slip down
the bile duct into the intestine and
be passed by the dozen, without
causing any marked trouble. But
the middle sized gall-stones, from
the size Of a bean to that Of a
small marble, are the real disturb
ers Of the peace.

the bile duct they stretch II Sc

succeed, with terrific discomfort

through the mouth Of the duct into

But sometimes they get stuck

extreme cases the dammed-up bile

ness the gall.bladder may have. it

The only way by which bile can

through its long and narrow neck.
As this neck is lined with mucus

take long or much swelling to block
up completely this narrow and half
choked neck.
HOW GALLSTONES FORM.
When this blocking takes place,
the bile which is trapped in the
gall.bladder begins to ferment and
break down. the salts and other
substances which It carries in solu-
ton are deposited in the shape of
little granules or kernels. and we
have the nucleus Of a gladstone.
