MUST LIMIT ARMAMENTS
OR FACE BANKRUPTCY

Universal bankruptcy soon will
confront the civilized countries of
the world unless definite and drastic
steps are taken to reduce the cost
OF military organization" said Presi-
dent E. o. Holland of the State Col
lege in response to query of Her.
bert Bayard Swope, editor of the
New York World, as to his opinion on
the conference at Washington.
AT one time, President Holland
continued, the people were indif-
ferent to this great question. The
World war awakened them. TODAY
each taxpayer, whether living in
America, England, France, Italy OF
Japan, knows and resents the cost
and futility of war.
In every enlightened nation tax.

and economies know that the per.
petuity of civilization depends I'D.

abhorent absurdity of paying from

URGES PURNELL BILL
IN SOUTHERN CONCLANE

New Orleans, Nov. 10.-Urging the
Purnell bill for increased appropria-
tions for experiment stations, now
before the House, Dean Edward c.
Johnson of the Washington State
College addressed the annual confer
ence Of land grant colleges and ex-
pertinent stations here today. He
said in part:
There is a growing appreciation
on the part of the people at large
OF the fact that our entire industry
and business structure rests upon
agriculture, and that, therefore,
everything that can be done to i'm
prove the agricultural conditions and
insure profitable agriculture should
be done.
The representatives in congress
from each state will be eager to sup
port this bill, even in a year of re-
trenchment such as we now have.
when they look into the great ac-
eomplishments of the experiment sta
tons in this country in making pos
sible more efficient production, bet
ter business methods, and better
management on the farm.
The western states are in spe-
cial need of this legislation because
of their large area and the great di-
yersity of agricultural problems
which need to be solved rapidly be-
cause of the increasing growth of
population.
I'VE are now beginning to give de-
served and necessary consideration
to the problems of marketing and
much more in this direction, but in
so doing we must not forget that
agricultural production again will be
imminently pressing. 1t is. there
fore, very necessary that we should
have foundation upon which an ag-
riculture increasingly efficient from
every standpoint can be built.
The experiment stations are a
capital investment toward this end
and are yielding large returns in the
discovery and application of better
methods of production. increased pro-
duction per acre, in better methods
OF marketing, in utilization of what
the farm produces and in improved
life on the farm. They must have
adequate financial support so that
continuous and uninterrupted work
may be done on the problems which
are fundamental to our most i'm
portant industry"

WALKS 1871 MILES
IN SETTING TABLE

Walking ISL miles in a year to
set the three meals of the day is the
experience Of many housewives ac-
cording to report received by the
extension service of the State Col
lege.
This was not all done at one time.
but at three periods of the day when
meals and dishes were carried from
the kitchen to the dining room.
morning, noon and night 1t didn't
seem far for Mrs d. ]. Brink of
Grays Harbor county who reported
to Miss Mabel Weber, home demon
stration agent, on the use of the
utility table, but when figured in a
years time it made a real trip.
To figure out the distance and
time saved in using a utility table
Mrs. Brink served the same meal
two different days and kept a record
on the number of steps taken and
the time consumed in performing the
task. 1t required 44O steps between
the kitchen and dining room to set
and clear the table, and took 8 min
utes IN time without the use of the
utility table. When she used the
utility table it reduced the distance
to 40 steps and the time to eight
minutes.

ference game from o. A. c. at Cor
wallis, Gre, last Friday The score

TWO SACKS OF SUGAR STOLEN
Two Negroes, Charged With Theft
Are Arrested

1t was 8 o'clock this morning when
Sheriff Robert Miller found time to
go to bed. but he. was successful in
catching Raj johnson and Wat
Mitchen, negroes, who are alleged to
have broken open a freight car on the
Union Pacific near Menoken and
stolen two sacks of sugar. a sack of
corn chop and a quantity of other
goods.
About 10:45 o'clock Friday night
George Tut, oil North Western ave-
nue., called Miller, stating that his horse
and wagon had been stolen. Miller
went over and traced the wagon to
Silver Lake and for a considerable
distance around that vicinity.
In the meantime, Union Pacific de-
tectives who were riding the caboose
of a westbound freight train, noticed
a sack Of sugar lying on the ground,
and dropped off. Lying in wait, they
caught johnson as he approached the
sugar. Mitchen was also caught, the
goods recovered and the negroes then
led the officers, Miller having arrived,
to the horse and wagon. The wagon
had broken down. The negroes were
placed in the county Jail and warrants
sworn out for them this morning.
