Two Big Trade DaysIn Columbus, Friday and Saturday
SIDELIGHTS ON
THE BIG WRECK

Always in a great catastrophe some
small detail stands out vividly against
the stupendous whole, impressing the
ordinary mind while the fearful
event benumbs with the magnitude
of its borrow.
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1921-05-04

Always too the heroism of man
shines forth with added lustre on such
Occasion. MilIard McWilliams, prac-
tically the only man in the crew with
out serious injury, whose marvellous
escape was due to his size, fell into n
niche between the two engines into
which larger man would have be-
come wedged and scalded to death. .
He crawled out and with super
human strength extracted the blinded
and scaldeae sod cf6 who WAS twice
hrs size.

The road across the Snoqualmie

ably be reached during the week

to doing so, for some reason or other.

proposed to have it furnished in an

Modern Poultry Plant Will Be
Managed by Recognized and
Leading Experts

Few people are aware Of the
strides which the dairylng industry
of this state has taken within the
past few years, although it must be
confessed that the last two years
have not been exceptionally prosper
Gus one for that industry. The fact
remains that the standard OF dairy
cows in this state has been steadily
rising and there are few states which
average higher in this respect than
does Washington. The standard will
rise steadily higher in the future be-
cause 1t is no longer necessary for
the farmer who Is DESTROYS Of i'm
proving his dairy herd to send east
or anywhere else for his foundation
stock. He can get as fine stock here
as anywhere in the world, and the
best Of 1t is not imported, but the
product of Washington farms, bred
right here at home. This state holds
first place when 1t comes to long dis
lance records made by individual
cows, high milk records, butter fat
records and all other forms OF COM
petitive dairying.
At the state fair at Yakima, to be
held in the week commencing Sep
TENDER 10, there will be shown large
herds Of the finest bred stock in the
country in all Of the dairy classes.
The farmer who wants information
or a direct line on the best way to
improve his herd can get 1t right
here. He can see exactly what he
wants and where to get it, in the
quickest time,-at the lowest cost and
with the minimum of risk. The live
stock exhibit at the state fair will be
of the highest educational value to
the individual farmer who visits 1t
and it may be of the highest eco
nomic value to the whole state, in
the aid which 1t will give. incident
ally, to the improvement of the dairy
herds of the state.
Poultry Raising Becomes Speciality
Poultry raising has become a sep
arate branch of farming to a very
great extent, high class specialists
following 1t along the most improved
lines and with the best pecuniary
results as a rule, although not with
in the past few months. Poultry
have never, however, been a negli-
gible factor to quite a lot toward
meeting the table expenses. At the
state fair at Yakima there will be an
exhibit of value to the farm poultry
raiser. There will be installed q
modern poultry plant, small and in
expensive, such as any up-to-date
farmer could readily afford to put
up on his place. This will be in the
hands of the recognized leading poul-
try experts Of this state. who Will
give demonstration of every phase Of
poultry handling. A few lessons Of
this kind will spell dollars and cents
for all who take them and follow
them with their own flocks.
There is one thing which can b.
safely be relied upon, in connection
with the state fair to be held at
Yakima this year.. 1t will be one Of
the greatest fruit exhibits ever seen
not only in this state, but anywhere
in the country. Every county which
makes any pretentions to standing
as fruit grower will probably have
exhibits either on the part Of the

although we feel that our efforts have
been all to feeble" still we trust that
those who have followed with us have
been led to a larger conception OF
things divine, and to clearer under
standing of the analytical systematic
arrangement of Gods Holy Word, the
Bible.
While we appreciate the kindly
Offices of the Standard in patiently
printing the lessons for us, we do no:
forget the oft spoken words of appre
