BOYS R0UT BEAR
WITH COWS HELP
Animal, Undaunted by Pail Of
Milk in Face, Runs From
Bovine Horns.
DOUBT DADS WORD
Had Been Told That Black Bears
Were Harmless, but This Nights
Experience Makes Them Sceptl-
cal on the Subject.

Olean, N. Y.-Joe Butcher, who Is
four years old, always has been afraid
If the black bears that come out Of
he woods of the mountains near here,
| and nobody ever has been able to con-
| vince him that they are harmless. His
father has told him that the blaak
pears come out only to look for things
to eat, or for exercise, and that they
never were interested in little boys.
Last night, however, Joe toddled out
into the barn with his older brother,
Fred, who is eleven, and for several
years has boasted of not being afraid
Of bears, black or any other color. Joe
walked behind his brother and when
they got to the barn he sat down on
a pile Of hay just inside the doorway
while his brother began milking the
COW.
Fred" said Joe, sit is awful dark
outside. Are you afraid of bears?"
Don't be silly said Fred. There
aren't any bears around here except
black bears, and they wouldn't hurt
anybody"
but they might" persisted Joe.
sand you're not afraid Of them, are
you? All right, then / won't be afraid
either"
Black Bruin Appears.
Fred went on milking by the light
Of the lantern, until the pail was about
full. All at once he heard Joe cry out
with a little stifled, sobbing scream. He
turned and saw that q big black bear
had come through the doorway and
was reaching out a hairy paw for the
little boy.
Fred jumped up and ran to his
brother and the bear, forgetting to put
down the pail of milk as he an. But
before he reached hin the bears paw
had reached Joe's shoulder and the
claws had gone into the sweater at
the shoulder. The bear looked around
just then and pulled away his paw,
tearing most of Joe's sweater with it.
Joe began TO cry, for the claws had
cut into his flesh about the shoulder
and neck. Fred didn't know what else
to do, so he threw the pail of milk
into the bears face. The hear put his
paws up to his eyes, trying to brush
away the milk as he backed away
The bear Inadvertently backed into
the COW, which until this time had
been standing still wondering why the
milking had stopped. But when she

The fight started when Fleming
climbed the tree 10 their nest. The

him with shrill cries, beating him wiih

LOOK OUT FOR THE IMP

The following timely story was in
cluded in a letter written by A. R.
Metz, former Pullman citizen now
making good in financial circles in
Everett, and contains so much of
sound logic that it is considered
worthy of republication:
The devil was going down the
street one day accompanied by one
of his imps, looking for victims, and
hid in an alley. Pretty soon a man
passed and the devil told his imp to
so get him, so the imp went out and
perched on the shoulder of the man
and whispered to him You're dis
couraged." The man said Am -"
The imp said again You're discour-
aged, and the man said Maybe
am. Again the imp whispered
You're discouraged and the man
said Yes, l am discouraged The
imp flew back to the devil, who asked
him how he made it, The imp re-
Piled Il got him"
Pretty soon another man came
swinging down the street and the
devil said GO get HIM." so the imp
lit on his shoulder and whispered
You're discouraged" The man said
Il am not" and threw out his chest
bit Again the imp whispered
You're discouraged The man
Strengthened up a bit further and said
L tell you l am not discouraged.
For the third time the imp whispered
You're discouraged This time the
man Strengthened up to his full
height and said in a decisive voice 81
am NOT discouraged The imp flew
back to the devil and was asked how
he succeeded. The imp said did
not get him"

ON THE RIGHT TRACK

Congressman Burton l.. French of
Idaho was ON the right track when
he gave the following endorsement
10 the plan of cooperative market
ing:
There can be no doubt that CO.
operative marketing on the part of
the farmers would work a great eco
monte advantage to the farmers
themselves, and to the communities
which depend upon the farmers vel
fare, for it would increase the price
paid to the farmer for his products.
The price that is PAID by the
consuming public for the products
Of the farm more nearly represents
the true value OF the products than
any other figure that is used as a
measure of value from the time the
products leave the farmers fields
until they reach the consuming pub
lie. This price. under present condi-
tons, the farmer does not receive.
The public pays the price that is
nearest the true value Of the COM

public buys there is competition. For

body. To some it has brought a
great joy; to many, both grief and
gladness in full measure. Many of
us have gone along the regular, I'M
eventful path, filled with the happi-
ness of love and work and the JOY
of everyday things, which, after all,
is the best happiness.
TO youth the New Year means
long, pleasure-filled evening and the
writing of new date on their let
ers. They look neither forward nor
back. They make resolutions be-
cause it seems the correct thing to
do. They keep them sometimes and
it helps make them better men and
women, but it is not a serious mat
ter with them just as is natural for
youth.
Older folks inyoluntarily look back
a bit on the advent of a new year
not Systematically, but with gen
eral sweeping glance that usually
makes them a bit uncomfortable at
things left undone or failures to
make good as they had intended.
Maybe there has been just one thing
accomplished that gives them a little
warm feeling round their hearts
maybe not. The great sorrow or
great JOY stands out with more mean
ing to them than to youth. Tis
another milestone passed.
The New Year may not present
very bright prospects to some, but
these same older folks know that
there is something better in store
than what the immediate future
seems to offer-know that unhappy
things can't last--that they are pref
ty sure to lead to something greater
and better-know that even if they
can't understand the reason for sor-
row and trouble that there is
reason-know it deep down within
themselves, though outwardly they
resent and rebel against fate. 1t is
not blind faith or optimism that
teaches this, but reason and knowl-
edge of life.
Older folks know that the year is
bound to bring happiness and relief
to those who are now bearing sor-
row and trouble.-Detroit News.

SWATTING THE POLL TAX

Adyices from Spokane are to the
effect that statewide movement is
being launched to initiate a bill re-
pealins the poll tax law passed by
the last legislature Such move
ment is sure to be given cordial sup
port for big majority OF the voters
viii jump at the chance to take
swat at the poll tax.
1t has been an unpopular form of
taxation and has failed to reach
many OF the non-property owners at
whom it was ostensibly aimed. It
has proved an easy tax to collect
from every already oyerburdened
taxpayer. but a very difficult one to
collect from transient residents and
from those who owned no property
and paid no other taxes. The cost
Of collecting it from those who
sought to evade paying it has been
high and the method of collection
difficult and disagreeable.
The opponents of the law will have
little difficulty in securing enough
signatures to insure the submission
of bill providing for its repeal to
vote of the people at the coming
election and there is every reason to
predict that such a bill will be over
whelmingly ratified by the voters at
the polls. Had it been possible to
submit the poll tax to referendum
vote, it would never have been levied
Few measures have ever been passed
by the legislature which have been
as generally disliked and heartily de-
tested as this poll tax law. Nearly
all who paid the tax did so under pro-
test and those who evaded paying it
felt no computations Of conscience.
swat the poll tax law promises
to be one Of the most popular slogans
in the political compaign next fall.

instance the wheat of the farmer of
the Northwest conpetes with the corn
of the farmer of Iowa, the products
of the potato farmer of Colorado and
Maine, and the products of the rice
farmer of the Orient.
But there is a vast difference be-
tween the price the consuming pub
lie pays for the farmers products
and the price the farmer receives for
them. There is one outstanding rea-
son for this difference. The dis
tributors to the general public are
closely organized and work through
cooperation. The farmers are not
closely organized and do not work
through cooperation in the market
ing of their products.
Were the farmers to cooperate in
the marketing of their crops they
would eliminate in large part the
middlemen and they would receive
for their commodities price close
to that which the distributors to the
public receive from the public. The
farmer would be benefited because
he would receive a more nearly ade-
quate compensation for the product
Of his labor. The community in
which he lives would Be benefited be
cause those who sustain the COM
munity and economic conditions of
the community would be more pros
porous. The public generally would
be benefited because producer and
consumer would be brought closely
together in a business transaction of
great and consistent interest to both. ."

BUSINESS CONDITIONS IN
PULLMAN

At the close of one year and the
beginning of another is a good time
to make a survey OF business condi-
tons in Pullman and the conclusions
predicated on such a survey are de-
cidedly encouraging.
Despite the general depression
and financial stringency, the local
banks are in good condition. the
business of the local post office has
shown a healthy gain. all the bust
ness houses have weathered the try
ing period of readjustment following
the war and the farmers, while they
have been hard hit are going ahead
with a logged determination to hold
down the expense of producing an
other crop to the minimum. The
big monthly pay roll at the college is
a tremendous asset to the commun-
ity and makes business conditions
here much better than in the towns
and cities which are entirely depend
ent for support upon the farming
country tributary to them.
The year just closed has been a
trying one to every line of business,
especially to the banks. which have
been subjected to the acid test of a
rapid and drastic deflation. The
fact that both the local institutions
have stood that test so successfully
is the best proof of the financial sta
bility of the community. for the con
dition of the banks is the best barom-
eter of business conditions in any
locality.
Having successfully weathered The
depression of 1921, Pullman can rea-
sonahly count upon a decided i'm
pruvement in 1922 The State Col
lege Is growing and progressing and
the city will benefit proportional ely
Indications point to a revival of house
building during the next II months,
and Il is will mean more work for
carpenters, masons, plumbers and
painters, and an increased popula-
ton, because it will provide accom-
modations for families desiring to
make their homes here. An in
creased population in turn means
more business for the local mer-
chants.
Another favorable factor is that
the people are rapidly convalescing
from the epidemic of extravaganza
so prevalent during the war period
and are beginning to again realize
the truth of the old adage that ii is
not what a man earns but what he
aves that counts.
A spirit of confidence and opti-
mism will go a long way towards
Fastening the return of prosperity.
There is a lot of truth in the motto;
They are able because they think
they are able" If every resident of
Pullman will make up his or her mind
to stop talking hard times and begin
to talk better times, 1922 will mark
an era of decided progress and i'm
proyement in this community.
