EELP MANY FARMERS
TO SECURE LABOR
County Agents Have Free Employ
ment Bureaus for Harvest
Hands

Maintaining employment bureaus
for farm labor during the harvest
season is part of the work of the
county agents in the counties of
whitman, Walla Walla, Douglas and
Franklin. Since July l thousands of
farm laborers have received work
through these free bureaus, and
farmers in the midst of the harvest
have been saved many hours of val
liable time by knowing just where to
secure their labor.
County Agent C. A. Lodge of
Whitman county has supplied 1865
men to the harvest fields since July
/, while County Agent F. Fl. Zentner
of Douglas county secured employ
ment for 200 men during the last Is
days of the month.
In Whitman county the farm bu-
reau established waiting room for
the men seeking employment in the
harvest field, and the county agent,
with the help of a special secretary.

That Word "Hospital."

One of the features of an ancient
Roman home were the "hoSpitalia,"
or apartments set aside for strangers,
or "hospes." Hence, in its original
meaning the word hospital" was APP
piled to places where strangers were
received and kindly entertained. The
commonly restricted use of the term
to designate places where sick strang-
ers were received was an after de-
velopment.
The word came to us directly from
the French, who got it from the Ro-
mans. 1t is derived. of course, from
the same root as 'hospitable." The
name "Hospitaler' was borne with
pride by several sem-relgious and
semi-military orders, like the knights
Of 81. John or the Knights of Malta,
who made it a business to relieve the
poor, the strangers and the sick.
1t is worth noting that the first
hospital for diseased men and ami
mails was established by the Buddhists
in Hindustan.

ON CRAZY BRIDGE
American Crossed River Where
MiSStep Meant Death.
Reader viii Be in Full Accord With
the Statement That Il Was
Creepy, CHASTITY Process"

An American tells of crossing the
Teesta river, In the IIimalayan region,
On q rickety bamboo bridge,
The bridge, always dangerous, was
at that time a mere ragged skeleton
Of itself, and to make matters worse
was slippery with green slime Such
bridges are usually rebuilt once In
two years, but this one had evidently
not been touched for much longer
than that On this narrow, lettering
structure, open at the sides, the Amer
lean had to cross over the turbulent,
rapid river, 300 feet wide and seventy
feet below the bridge.
The instant one steps on such
bridges they recoil from him and swing
and shake in an alarming way, rolling
from side to side and pitching like "a
ship la a storm. They swerve with
sudden jerk every time one lifts his
foot not only sideways and length
wise. but downward and forward, as
ones weight depresses the bridge, This
goes on until one passes the middle of
the bridge, after which the OsciIlating
structure kicks up behind one as he
ascends-
Now, this American got on fairly
well as long as lie could see the bam-
boo rod on which he had to walk, al
though the open sides heightened the
sense of insecurity But away from
the bank, if one looks down to see
where TO place his foot, the rush of
leaplng water in the torrent below
gives him the giddy sensation that both
he and the bridge are running swiftly
up stream.
Yet one must keep his eye upon the
single bamboo overhanging the abyss
and find shaby footing upon it, since
TO miss it means certain death.
The American was quarter of the
way over, perhaps, when as he stepped
from one bamboo to the next it Tilted
up and he could see most of those in
front were lying loose and diSjOinted
in their V-slings. They had been
broken away by the passing of per-
sons who had preceded him. He could
not swing round to go back; forward
was his only course.
lie went on with long strides to get
footh0ld ON this shaking, swinging
line of Shiny bambOos After each step
he had to half close his eyes to coun-
teract the glddy feeling Of the upward
rush of the bridge. 1t was a creepy,
ghastly process. A false step meant
death in the raging gulf below. After
what seemed an age he reached the
opposite bank.

NATURE OF H0USE-WARMING
Old Custom in England of Setting Out
Meal for Entertainment
of New Neiahbors.

An ancient custom is still main
tanned in some parts of England ON
midsummer eve; every housekeeper
who in the course of the year has
changed his residence into a new
neighbOrhood spreads table before
his door in the street with bread,
cheese and ale for those who choose
to resort to it.
The thought cannot but arise that
If this custom were prevalent in the
United States a vast number Of our
citizens would be entertaining their
friends and neighbors in the street,
owing to the number of removals
which have taken place in the last
year or two.
In Ireland on this day there are al
so remnants of the sun-worshipers
According to Rev. Donald Mcqueen
the Irish have ever been WOrshipers
of the fire and of Baal. and are so to
this day. The chief festival in honor
Of the sun and fire is upon the DIST of
June (23dO when the sun arrives at
the summer sOlstice, or, rather, begins
its retrograde motion. We were told
that ut midnight we should see a
singular sight and accordingly at mid
night fires began to appear and the
people danced about them and made
their sons and daughters and cattle
