EVENING CLASSES
FOR DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE
Southwest Streets Soon
Will Be Humming With
Night Students.

Evenings in Southwest WASH
ington streets will take on the
hustling aspect of the days work
ing hours when the Department of
Agriculture opens to classes after
office time for the higher educa-
tion of its clerks.
The Inauguration of this grad
uate school through the efforts of
the departments specialists will
give employees opportunity to con-
tinue their agricultural and scien-
tific training. The system will
be unofficial and self-supporting
through fees collected from the
students and will in no way in
terfere with the local educational
system.
1t is believed that many of those
who take up studies in the classes,
after obtaining d sufficient number
of credits. win take leave of alb
sence from the department and
complete courses for advanced de-
grees at some recognized institu-
tion.
Come alcohol, now answer me.
d
What is thy age. what is thy name,
What is thy trade and what thy
aim?
Thus was alcohol questioned in
verses written in 1870 by DIR. J. b.
Caphell. a former prominent citi-
zen of Southwest Washington, as
read before a meeting of the w.
c. T. u. Tuesday evening by Mrs.
Margaret G. Baum
And what the doctor answered in
the name of alcohol eighty-two
years ago read in part:
My age is 1000 years.
My aim to fill the world with tears,
My trade to kill and make expense; ;
My name, ii Is intemperance.
The meeting was held in the
Gorsuch Church. and presided over
by the president. Mrs. NJ. II. Sattes.

WASHINGTON. Feb. a. CSpecial)
That gasoline taxes will become a
general thing in every state of the
union seems to be apparent from re-

states and organizations. Legislation
is being formulated in several addi-
tional states, IA now having a tax
OF cent gallon and the state of
Oregon having a cent rate. Several
bills have been introduced in several
state legislatures looking toward the
establishment OF such a tax.
