 In our solemn acknowledgement of incalculabe debt we owe our honor dead lot ps also not forget to ale viate the suf:erings of the living. It has been most appropriately suggested by the various organizations of ex service men that Memorial Day be marked by the general wearing Of the Flanders Poppy. the inter-all:ed me morial flower These little symbols of remembrance of those who made the supreme sacrifice during the World War are made by the women and orphans of France. and the pro ceeds derived from their sale will be used not only for their assistance, but also to provide q relief fund to. meet the distriss occasioned by un- employment among our own ex.ser- vice men.

The members of the mooted Big
Six of the chamber OF commerce are
fully reinstated in the opinions of
their fellow men and the names of
f. c. Forrest, Lee Allen, f. e, San
ger, Robert Neill, c. A. Isaacs and
j. n. Scott will again find place on
the roll of Pullman's illustrious citi-
zenship 1t all came about at the
big chamber of commerce banquet
Tuesday evening, when 500 men and
women assembled around the festive
board at the armory to witness the
second round in the great battle for
supremacy OF mind and wit, and in
inson's most excellent banquet.
1t was a we'll planned, well organ
lied and we'll executed comeback, ;"
and so complete was the vindication
of the Big Six and so thorough the
humiliation that came to the of
Tending" members of the chamber
that a unanimous popular decision
was accorded the Big Six and the
offenders were denied the oppor-
tunity to retaliate After a year of
"lording over the downtrodden
Six" the offending score or more
have been forced to taste the bitter
dregs of defeat, in the form of
proven mental inferiority, and the
Big Six will do the growing for
the next twelve-month.
Representative Frank e. Sanger
was the legal wizard who turned the
tide to victory, and he has been ac-
claimed the |master mind" of the
group. V. w. Clarkson was the only
offending member who stemmed the
tide of the gruelling mental eXamina-
ton by Attorney Sanger and he was
promptly adopted by the Six :"
Henceforth the group will be known
alliteratively as the Superior Seven. -

was a simple one and was successful

ANNUAL BANQUET
OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
uoscow Firemen and Local City
Counciimen Guests of Fire Boys
Friday Notwithstanding
Figures Given

The annual banquet of the Pull
man fire department was held last
Friday evening at Robinson's cafe,
with nine members of, the Moscow
fire department, members of the
pullman city council and President
n L. Waller of the chamber of COM
MERGE as special guests of the occa-
sion. Covers were laid for 80. AS
eistant Chief L. X Martini presided
as POSTMASTER and Chief George Ew-
ING gave the address of welcome to
the visitors.
Professor Waller presented figures
IN show that while Pullman popula-
tion is less than one-third of one per
cent of the population of the state
of Washington, the city is charged
with two and one-half per cent of the
fire loss of the state in 1921. Dur
ing that year the per capita fire loss
in Pullman was $21, while the per
capita loss in the entire United States
is but $500.
Robert Carter, a member of the
Moscow department, spoke on coop
: Grafton between the two towns in
case of serious fires and Sheriff
Woody urged the construction of a
good road between the two towns as
a means of bringing the communities
closer together and making it posi-
BILE for the fire departments TO lend
assistance, one to the other.
The fire fighting equipment of the
two towns was compared by Firemen
Whitmore and Cruvers of Moscow
1t was pointed out that Moscow's
minimum basic rate for fire insur-
ance is so cents per 800, with a five
per cent reduction promised when the
new American-LaFrance truck ar
rives. In Pullman the basic mini
mum rate is 60 cents per 500, with
no prospect for a reduction. This
city can secure the Moscow rate,
however, by the purchase of stand
ard truck and the maintenance of a
fire department with at least two
paid firemen and not less than Is
volunteer firemen.
Councilmen F. V. Roth, A. A
Rounds and w. A. Yeo accepted the
invitation of the fire department to
attend the banquet and all gave short
talks, expressing their interest in
the fire department and their hope
that steps may be taken toward re-
ducing the annual fire loss of the
community.

THE BIG SIX RE|NSTATED;
PROVE MENTAL EFFICIENCY

because of its very simplicity and
the cunning of the men who had been
placed on the defensive because of
last years holocaust Attorney San
ger was selected to present the case
of the Big Six before the audience.
In his opening statement he asserted
that he would prove the mental in
adequacy of the offenders and the
extreme mental efficiency of the
Six to the full satisfaction of the
audience, which was to serve as judge
and jury. And he did.
First he called Jimmie" Robinson
to the floor and asked him what the
turnip said to the carrot when the
farmer pulled them from the garden
Jimmie blushed, suffered, scratched
his stomach to enliven his brain. then
admitted that he didn't know Then
Sanger volunteered the information
that the turnip said to the carrot:

deficiency was proved. and Sanger
was not slow to herald that fact to
the four winds.
Then followed a rapid fire of rid
dies hurled at President Waller, Sec
rotary Thorpe, Dr. Archer, w. l..
Grenawalt, Rev Spalding, William
Goodyear, George H. Watt, J. S.
Klemgard and d. F. Staley They
all registered deep humiliation, some
essayed an incorrect answer, but all
were hurled by Mr.. Sanger into the
discard of mental deficients, along
with Jimmie Robinson. V. w Clark
son alone weathered the storm when
prompted by the lady on his right
he answered correctly the riddle:
"In what month does a woman talk
the least?" Aforementioned lady on
the right whispered, February of
course, it's the shortest month. -
Clarkson, parrot-like, repeated her
words, Sanger didn't get wise to the
trickery, and Clarkson was promptly
voted into the Blk Six
The climax came, however, when
Sanger pronounced riddles to the
members of his group, for purposes

sisters and six grandchildren.
In 1889 Mr.. and Mrs. Haynes be-
came members of the Church of

the congregation meeting at Clinton.
He has ever held fast to that faith.
His neighbors bear him witness that
he was a good man and true.
The funeral was conducted from
Clinton Grange on Monday after
noon, H. j. Reynolds of Pullman be-
ing the officiating minister. The
interment was in the community
cemetery where many of the pioneers
have been entombed. Vocal selec-
lions were given by the community
choir The floral offerings were
many and varied, among them sew
eral special pieces. For the Chris
ton:
There nothing terrible in death;
'Tis but to cast our robes away,
And sleep all night without a breath
To break repose till dawn of day.

Pomeroy, Wash, and Miss Melcina
La Toilette of Spokane, came to light
romance that had its beginning in
the class rooms of Washington State

The prospective groom gave his place
of residence as Portland, Ore, and

On the scene comes Inquiring Re-
porter. He takes a look at the mar
riage register, sees the name of Miss
Melcina La Toilette, Washington,
d. c., and begins to ponder. A story
is seen in the offing.
Judge Noah Shakespeare was
phoned No he had not performed a
marriage Neither had Judge Will
lam Shelter. The Rev. R. B. Hassell
reported a quiet day. Deputy Haul
gen was called. Yes, he had issued
the license, but the couple had re-
quested that the fact be given no
publicity.
Today, after two days of investi-
CATION, Inquiring Reporter learned
the facts.

married Monday evening by the Rev.
Edgar NJ. Rogers of Trinity Episco-
pal church, is the son of prominent
