repeated in Ellensburg. Like the night
before Waterloo there was dance
The whole town was enjoying itself at
the end of successful Fourth of July
celebration. Word came up to the
dancers that grocery store was on
fire. The waterworks, as usual. wa
not adequate. The fire was soon out
of control. Before morning all of ten
blocks and parts of three Others were
burned The entire business district
and part of the residence section was
gone Not timber was left standing
The loss was over $2,000,000 and the
insurance was less than ten per cent
of that
The relief story of the Seattle fire
was repeated. Seattle sent its scant
funds and materials and cities all over
the northwest did the same. Men
went and worked for nothing helping
to clean up and get the Ellensburg cit
liens started again.
Thirty days later the same story
was written about Spokane. Begin
ming up near the Northern Pacific rail-
way station the fire in four hours
wiped out thirty blocks of the very
heart of the business district. Going
north it crossed Railroad avenue. First
avenue. Sprague, Riverside, Main and
Front streets to the river, and from
Lincoln street it burned to Washing
ton, crossing Post, Miller, Howard and
Stevens streets. 1t started about sly
o'clock in the evening In a bunch Of
frame buildings and the wind which
was blowing a gale carried it along

timated from SIS, 100000 up to twice
that figure.

kane got a wire from the mayor of
Ellensburg to call on hi mfor $1,000

MILK PRODUCERS
TAKING LOSSES
DAIRYMEN ON SAME BASE
AS STOREKEEPERS AND
MANUFACTURERS
Startup Butter Maker Says He Is
Losing Eight Cents a Pound.
Feeds Skim Milk to Porkers.

Merchants selling at a loss In these
days of declining prices and manufac-
turers facing the high cost of labor
and supplies have nothing on the av-
erage dairy farmer, according to H.
L. Bartlett, who runs 2S0-acre ranch
on the bench above the Skykomish
river at Startup. The barn cost o.
butter fat at the present time is &c
cents a pound, he says, and in return
FOR this little investment he gets
handed 2S cents a pound. In other
words, every time he turns out
pound of butter fat-and with eighteen
Jerseys working overtime he turns on
Several-he makes some one gift o.
eight cents.
That is not the worst part of the
tory which Mr.. Bartlett tells. That

not include his overhead. When you
mention overhead to him he does not
look as pleased as he does when he
alks, for instance, about his prize
lerd sire, Hogus Prosesr Overhead
including such items as insurance
axes, upkeep, depreciation, interesi
on the investment and other little
sums-would put the cost up to fig
IRE which Mr.. Bartlett says he doe
not care to contemplate and hence
does not put on his books
He has two ways of getting some O
his money back, some of the none,
included in the overhead. One of them
is that he handles about third o
his product over his own counter in
store that he runs in the town of Start
up, and the other that he puts the skin
milk-into hogs which he fattens fol-
the market. With pork at the presenf
rate and the fact that he has to bu.
some of the corn he uses to harden
hem before putting them on the mar
ket the skim milk scheme is not what
it might be, but it is the best thing ir
sight.
Mr.. Bartlett has plenty of pasture
at this time of the year, but in order
% keep his herd doing what they
should, ard he believes in making all
of his ranch produce all that it will
all of the time, he feeds them about
eight pounds of mill feed along with
he pasturage. Another thing he works
'or is to- have his cows coming in
fresh in turn so as to keep general
average on his production. II any
thing he has more of them coming
fresh in the fall and early winter than
at any other part Of the year, basine
his reason on the higher price for milk
and butter fat at that time of the year
Us against the possible high milk pro
duction rate on cows that freshen or

An American ambassador to Euro
pean court recently tried to decry the
spirit of idealism with which the peo
pie of this country went into the wal
and he was Immediately followed by
President Harding and Secretary o.
State Hughes, who went as far as they
could to contradict the impression
that there was any weakening in that
vital spirit of idealism which is the
very essence of this countrys founda
ton and life.
Perhaps there is no time that that
same spirit comes SO much to the fore
as at periods of local or national dis
aster The recent Pueblo flood is a
case i'm point. The flood happens, peo-
pie who are entire strangers to each
other are placed in positions of dan.
ger and privation. The citizens Of the
nation rise to help them with every.
thing from sympathy down to money.
There was a time in this state when
there was a wonderful example OF
that spirit. 1t was in the year 1889.
Each year in June pioneer Seattle
people turn out and celebrate the Sc
attic fire, but you have never heard
any mention of the Spokane fire of
that year, or the Ellensburg fire, OF
the Vancouver fire, and yet that same
year fires occurred in all three OF
those cities that as nearly wiped them
out as did the fire in Seattle.
The Seattle fire was on June 6. II
started in a paint shop through the
simple kicking over of pot of glue.
In few minutes it was beyond con-
troll. In a few hours practically all
that was business Seattle was hot
mass of glowing embers. Beginning

Woman Occupies Pulpit
OF Anglican Church
Innovation Brings Crowds to
Hear Leader of Movement TO
Admit Sex as Preachers

LONDON, April (By MaiD Miss
Maude Royden, leader of movement
to induce the Church of England to
admit women preachers to its pulpits,
has been permitted to conduct a week
day service in ST. Paul's and ST..
Botolph's churches, despite a protest
which had been made by the Right
Rev Arthur F. w. Ingram, Bishop of
London.
The appearance Of the woman in the
pulpit, an innovation in the Anglican
Church, brought crowds to the serv-
ices. Miss Royden was attired in a
surplce and close fitting head dress
of dark blue.
Announcement of her intention to
lead the services caused considera bic
comment in the press, revolving about
the question of women's fitness to as
sumo mems positions in religious as
we'll as political fields.
At the beginning of the exercises
the Rev. W. Hudson Shaw, rector of
the church, invited any who wished
to protest against Miss Roydens ap-
pearance to do so before leaving the
building. He went on to say, how
ever, that under the Brawling act of
1860, anybody who disturbed or inter
rupted properly appointed preacher
was liable to be fined or Imprisoned
"No one" concluded the rector, "has
the right to appoint the preacher ex-
cept the incumbent, and I have done it,"

Disarmament Hopeless,
Says Japanese Professor
Diet in Favor of Extension of
Military Establishment, Ac-
cOrding to Oyama

TOXIC, March 1 (By MaiD.--"It Is
no wonder" said Ikuo Oyama, formerly
professor of the Waseda University,
writing in the Japanese Outlook, chat
exMinister Ozaki's motion for arma-
ment curtailment was defeated by 286
to 38, when we remember that the
Diet, while it represents the Bour-
geoisie, is at the same time representa-
tive of nationalism. Proposals for the
extension of ornaments or the COM
pletion Of national defense, so long
as they are not alarmingly extreme,
will be accepted by the Diet, but we
can never expect that such question
as disarmament will gain the support
of majority.
"For instance, it is proverbial that
one Of the four planks of tho Seiyukai
government party is tho completion Of
national Defense while the Kenseikai
opposition has similar policy. The
Seiyukai and the Kenselkai have no
portant questions of the nation and
they. act on the same principals, or
more truly, on no principles.
"The reduction of ornaments is obvi-
ously repugnant to the naval and mill
tary authorities, and they approved OF
it as an ideal only because they we're
afraid Of an attack on the budget"
Mr.. Oyama, who is known as Social
list, declared that Mr.. Osaki committed
a grave mscalculation in limiting the
evils of formidable ornaments to the
decline of national strength and in
failing to deny the-evils Of capitalism
and nationalism which are the funda-
mental source of aggressive imperial
ism. He continues: "His silence about
capitalism and nationalism implies the

gestion that the extension of anna
ments in Germany resulted In the

League of Nations shows that he is

Sheriff Turns Over
New Leaf and So
Does Logan County
Moonshiners, Bootleggers
and Gamblers Follow W.
Virginia Officials Lead
and Go Back to Mines

LOGAN, w. Va, April 23.--Logan
County, in the heart of the great coal
fields of southern West Virginia, has
turned over new leaf" because its
Sheriff, Don Chain, has said that it
and gamblers have been the objects of
the Sheriif's cleanup campaign, and
for four months he has made uneasy
the lives of those engaged in the pur-
suits.
Announcing that he personally chad
turned over new leaf; had cut out
liquor, and would never again lay a
wager on cards or any other gambling
game" according to The Williamson
Daily News, Chain invited those In
elned toward those pastimes to follow
suit or pay The penalty. Since early
in January the cleaning-up process has
gone on, and when recently he per-
sonally brought in two or three stills
an automobile load of evidence" he
declared that it had been a "slow"
week.
ut looks like the boys were taking
rs at our word and were really going
back to the mines and their farms and
gardens rather than keep up the
trouble in Logan County by supplying
the citizens with mountain dew
Chain said, according to The News.
"Well, they'd better keep on getting
good" he is said to have concluded,
cas- there are not going to be any
more liquor violations in Logan when
this office gets through"
Chain is regarded as a sort of Robin
Hood throughout southern West Virgi-
MIA and there are as many tales, some
of them almost leCendary attached to
his name as to that of the doughty
monarch of Sherwood Forest. The
Sheritf's domain, however. is Logan
County, and among the mountains in
stead of forest. OF typical noun
taineer type, he is credited with being
absolutely fearless and handy with a
pistol whenever occasion demands, al
though it is told throughout this sec
ton of the state that he wears a coat
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-04-24

of flexible chain mail next to his body
at all times.
A great deal of romance is attached
to the Sheriff's office by the Southern
mountaineers, and the incumbent is
held invariably in the highest regard
owing to the many times that he is
called upon to face danger personally.
He is not the man to whom the noun
taineers pay their taxes in this re-
spect, but the man who buckles on his
pistols and either alone or as leader Of
posse starts for scene of action.
Two other officers, possibly not as
picturesque Chain, but who rival him
for fame in the mountains, are Sheriff
"Bill' Hatfield, of Mcdowell, and
Sheriff "Lon'' Pinson, of Mingo, whose
sway is confined to the counties bor-
derng Logan.

They waited. it appears, until a

port continues, ait was raked with the

position and get settled. but the train
was late, giving us quarters of
an hour to get ready. We chose a cut
ting, one side of which was on level
with the carriage windows. At the
ends of each side we placed bombers
and riflemen and between were placed
the remaining rifemen and the others
differently armed. Two large boulders
were placed on the rails and the wire
fences at each side were pulled up to
afford a safe exit. The station build
ing a short distance away was taken
possession of and green light dis
played.
Crown Forces Retreat
"There were seven carriages on the
train and it was travelling at great
speed when it struck the stones.
Fire was opened from both sides and
bombs we're hurled through the win
dows. The fire was returned from the
cab Of the engine, where a Lewis gun
was in position. Our rihemen at the
rear end of the train got down on the
line for enfiladng fire, but after about
ten minutes, | was forced to order a
retreat to effect the safe escape Of our
men. Eight bombs were thrown, two of
which we are certain landed in car
riages.
'In the retreat one Of our two parties
was surrounded twice, but fought its
way through on each occasion. One of
our men is missing and we believe he
has fallen into the hands of the enemy
No other casualties were suffered on
our side and, despite their denial, we
have every reason to believe that at
least ten men were either killed or
wounded on the enemy side"

Slim Feiners Trap
And Kill Squads of
British Constables
Irish Accounts of Ambushes
Tell of Use Of Mines to
Block Motor Cars i'm Or
der to Wipe Out Command

LONDON, April (By Mail).-In-
side stories Of the ambushcs laid by the
Irish republican army to trap and kill
squads of British constablcs In Ire
land are disclosed in the reports from
Irish brigade commanders, which have
just been given out at the headquarters
of the volunteers in Dublin. Most Of
these attacks have been reported by
the British, but the Irish accounts are
now given for the first time.
They give the details Of desperate
fights in which, sometimes, the little
British commands have been decimated
and other times the Irish have been
driven off with severe losses, for the
Irish volunteers occasionally run into
a counter trap and find themselves ex-
posed to the whitening blast Of a
machine gun.
These reports show the methods en-
ployed to carry on the guerrilla fight
ing, the hurried calls to assemble the
Irish attackers, efforts to surprise the
British constables in some isolated
spot, and tell of the use of mines to
block the passage of motor cars so that
the attack can be delivered with great
err execution.
A typical ambush is described in a
report of the commander of the East
County Glare brigade. Thirty-five men,
five acting as scouts, attacked police
lorry containing a district inspector
and nine constables at Glenwood Bel
voir, killing all but four, who escaped.
Twenty of the attackers, it is stated,
were armed with rifles and ten with
double barrelled shotguns. They were
concealed on one side of a road near a
stream.

It is that SO many products that are ex-

reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
az endless chain system the remedy il
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for

preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in

EVERYBODY SEES A
CHANGE IN FATHER
Grateful Son Says His Father
Looks Like Different Man
Since Taking Tanlac.

my father has suffered from
chronic stomach trouble for over
twenty years and has paid out thou
sands of dollars for medicines and
DOCTORS" said G. w. Slayton, we'll
known Cobb County farmer, living a
short distance out of Atlanta, Ga.
we tried nearly everything trying
TO cure him and he went of to the
Springs, thinking maybe the water
might help him, hut it just looked
Ike nothing would reach his trouble.
Then he tried dieting and lived on
liquid food until he almost starved.
but even that failed to do him any
good and he just kept going from bad
to worse.
4 don't guess there ever was a
case as stubborn as his, and If there
ever was confirmed dyspeptic he was
one OF them, and I guess he would
nave been one yet If 1t hadn't been
for this Tanlac.
THE first we heard of this medi-
cine was when my father saw an adj
vertisement in the papers from parties
he knew in Tennessee, who were
friends Of his and he knew what they
said about it was the truth, SO he got
1t right away and began taking 1t,
Well, sir, it acted just like magic
everybody notices the change in fa-
Their. Why, he is just like a different
man and sits down to the table and
eats like farmland. Only yesterday
he ate pork and turnips for his dinner
and ate SO much we were actually
afraid he was going to overdo the
thing, but he laughed and said nothing
hurt him now and that he was hungry
and expected to eat and make up for
lost time.
"Now, when a medicine will do
things like that think people ought
to know about it, and 1 want to say
right now that would not give one
bottle of Tanlac for all the other
medicines and health resorts in the
country put together"
