ley,' but that a greater area of till
able land lies above the town-at
Winton, Plain, Lake Wenatchee and
above that point.

GREATEST CAMPAIGN OF KIND IN
CHURCH HIST0RY-CALLS FOR
MILLION TiTHERS.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. "A. P.)-The
most extensive and thorough-going
campaign ever attempted by any re-
ligious denomination, in the interest
of Christian stewardship, has just
been launched by the Methodist Epis-
copal church
Three hundred thousand American
MethodlstS are now enrolled as Chris
tian stewards, men and women who
agree to pay tenth of their income
to Christian work." declared the Rev.
erend Dr.. Luther E. Lovejoy, d. D., of
Chicago, secretary of the stewardship
division of the committee on conser-
yation and advance here today THE
program just announced for 1922 by
the Stewardship Division, however,
calls for an immediate enrolment to
the number of not less than full
million of tithing stewards, a quarter
of the membership of the church.
The plan is for a great tithing dem
onstration to be completed on Easter
Sunday. After a period of intensive
preparation through February and
March every member of the church
and Sunday school will be asked to
lay aside one-tenth OF his or her in
come, for the week between Palm
Sunday and Easter, and bring it to
the treasury of the church on Easter
Sunday, as part of the program for
that day.
Already indications of a church.
wide response are comm in A loco
motive engineer, a New York lawyer,
shirt manufacturer, a furniture
dealer. a refrigerator maker and a
Missouri music man will present a
tenth of their profits for the week. A
woman in Florida will give a tenth of

ana cotton planters fields are all in

Methodist church, Bishop Thomas
Nicholson of Chicago, chairman of the
on conservation and ad-
vance, and Bishop Theodore S. Hen

CLOSE EVIDENCE in
CASE OF STATE BANK

Evidence introduction in the case
of the Latah county state bank versus
the Latah county board of county
commissioners was completed Saturday
morning in the second judicial district
court for Latah county before Judge
E. G. Steele. Arguments of attorneys
will be heard Monday morning at
$3.50 and Judge Steele will probably
take the case under advisement.
Plaintiff in this case is appealing
from the order of the board of coun-
ty commissioners in which they set
the personal property on the assess
ment of the banks capital stock. The
bnak contends that the assessment is
too high and not in proportion to the
assessment on all other classes of
For the defense the COM
missioners claim that the assessment
is in proportion to the assessment of
other classes of property and is in
with the law.
Judge ]. H. Forney, Morgan and
Keane represent the plaintiff bank
as attorneys while A. H. Oyersn1ith
and John Nisbet are attorneys for the

SPOKANE DEFEATS
IDAHO YEARLINGS
UNIVERSITY PLAYERS WIN In
ROUGH CONTEST FROM
FRESHMEN 3S 10 30.

University of Idaho freshman were
off form Friday night and the Spo-
kane university quintet won, 80 to 80,
in rough fast game at the univer-
sity gymnasium. The Spokane men
led from the start and only once did
the Idaho yearllngs tie the score and
that was in the first few minutes of
play. The first half ended with the
first year men on the short end of a
20-14 score.
Try Game Comeback
In the second half the visitors hoop
ed a number of field baskets and the
freshmen, despite a game attempt to
pull out of the hole, were outplayed,
particularly in the first half
The Spokane "U' men passed we'll
and when Idaho's basket was un-
slip down the side lines for pot shots
freshmen spelled defeat for them.
Byers, husky guard of the visitors,
played good game on the defensive
and~-by~ good Workmanship accounted
for four of his teams field baskets.
Lots of R0ughing
The feature of the game was it's
roughness in the second half when the
two teams put up particularly bitter
scrap. Another feature was the work
of McMichael who shot eight free
throws in nine attempts and who
made four baskets from the field.
Kleffner and Keller looked best for
the Idaho freshmen, Keller with good
guarding and two field baskets, and
Kleffner with good rustling of the ball
