GODS COUNTRY

When a man is far away from the
place that he has lived in for years,
and his heart yearns for home. he
says; Some day I am going back
TO Gods country"
Whether it is some little country
town where the only lights come
from the windows that glitter down
the lane, and the only noises are
the lowing Of the cattle in the
fields and the signing of the winds
through the trees. it is Gods coun-
try for the man who knows that
there are faces there which will light
up at sight of him and hands that
will grasp his own in open friendli-
ness and affection.
Or, If II is some great city where

AN UNFORTUNATE CONIPLJ-
CATION

The Seventh legislative district in
which Pullman is located is entitled
to two members of the lower house
OF the state legislature. The district
is so strongly republican that it is
almost certain that the candidates
OF that party will be elected.
There has been a sort of mutual
understanding that one OF the rep
resentatiyes should be chosen from
the western part OF the district and
one from the eastern. Roy Jones
OF Penawawa has been the choice of
the republicans of the western part
Of the district for three terms and
they have usually supported a Pull
man man for the other nomination
Mr.. Jones is again a candidate,
but unfortunately two Pullman as
pirants have entered the race. Both
are competent men and would prob
ably make satisfactory legislators,
but there is danger that the repub-
licans in the western part of the dis
trict may feel that Pullman is try
ing to nominate both representatives,
from this vicinity. For this reason
they may feel impelled to induce
another candidate from their section
to enter the contest. In this event
there would be a strong probability
that both Pullman candidates would
be defeated at the primaries.
Pullman needs a representative to
look after the interests of the State
College and TO secure a fair share
OF the road appropriations for this
section of the county. But the sur
est way to secure that representative
is to agree upon one candidate to be
presented at the primaries.
With two aspirants from this COM
munity in the field, the experience
OF 1915 is likely to be repeated, when
two candidates from the western part
OF the district were nominated and
elected and Pullman was left with
out a local representative in the leg
islature.
AS matter of fact there is prob
aoiy no intention nor disposition on
the part of Pullman republicans to
oeieat MT. Jones by supporting the
TWO local candidates. These candi-
dates amply represent two different
groups in the local republican party.

WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS

What this country needs is not a
new birth of freedom, but the old
fashioned two-dollar berth.
What this country needs isn't
more liberty, but less people who
take liberties without liberty.
What this country needs is not a
job for every man. but a real man
for every job.
What this country needs isn't to
get more taxes from the people. but
for the people to get more from the
taxes
What this country needs is not
more miles of territory. but more
miles to the gallon.
What this country needs is more
tractors and less distractors.
What this country needs isn't
more young men making speed. but
more young men making spuds.
What this country needs is more
pain on the old places and less paint
on the young faces.
What this country needs isn't a
lower rate of interest on money, but
a higher interest in work.
What this country needs is to fol-
low the footsteps of the fathers in
stead of the footsteps of the dane
ing masters.-Crescent. st. Paul.

But it may be difficult. il not inn
possible, to convince the friends OF
Mr.. Jones that this is the case and
they cannot be blamed il they de-
eide to bring out another candidate
for self protection
1t is very unfortunate that the re-
publicans of this section did not
agree upon one candidate. satisfac-
tory to all If that had been done
his nomination and election would
have been assured and the voters in
the western part of the district
would have had no cause to even
suspect that Pullman is trying TO job
them by nominating both legislative
candidates from this vicinity.
II is an unfortunate complication
which can be Strengthened out only
by the exercise of discretion and
cool headedness

USE OF MANURE
ON WASHINGTON FARMS

How many thousand dollars are
you expecting to throw away this
year in your manure pile?
A table in Bulletin SO of the State
College of Washington extension
series, just off the press, shows the
value of manure produced annually
in Washington. Figuring the value
of manure at 1885 per ton, horse
manure is worth $13,O30,884 a year;
cattle, $17,9S1,298; sheep, $2,744,-
ISL; swine, $1,254,426; and hen
manure, $703.391 per year.
1T is not an uncommon thing in
the large and successful dairy sec
lions of the United States to find
farmers who would be milking COWS
at loss were they not to credit the
dairy with the value of the manure
produced, a value based on the large
increase in yield per acre received
as direct effect of the proper utili-
cation of this by-product," says Prof.
F. J. Sievers of the soils department
OF the college. who is the author of
the bulletin
This makes possible the success
of dairy farming under conditions
where the business of commercial
milk production would be a failure.
and also allows the farmer to make
a neat profit from fat stock long af-
ter the numerical stock feeder has
been forced out of business" con-
tinues Professor Sievers.
over so per cent of the value of
manure is represented by the liquid
portion, and this is readily leached
out and lost if the manure is stored
under conditions where it is subject
ed to heavy precipitation. The an
nual loss of fertility on this dairy
farm (showing a photograph of a
manure pile on the edge of a pond)
was about 500, or an amount equal
10 the value of dairy COW. When
poor housing conditions cause the
dairy farmer a loss of one COW an
nually he soon applies a remedy.
The fertility loss here is Just as
heavy and almost as evident"
He goes on to tell just what is
the composition and value of ma
nure from horses. cattle, swine,
sheep and hens. There are various
factors affecting the value: the kind
of bedding used, the class of animal
and its age. the use the animal is
put TO, its foods the methods of con-
serving and handling the manure.
and the way it is applied to the soil
No general directions can be laid
down for all sections of the state as

of varying conditions of both soil
and climate. But the bulletin points
out methods found by experiment to
be best for dry farming, irrigated
districts, humid farming. sandy soils.

1T CAN BE DONE

If the state College and the city
Of Pullman are to continue to grow
and expand normally. more houses
in this community are an absolute
necessity Scores of families would
locate here and send their boys and
girls to the college if they could Sc
cure houses in which to live Not
being able to find them here, they
go to Moscow. Ida. or Corvallis,
Ore. or some other college town and
these prospective students are lost
to the State College.
Under the present high cost OF
building few individuals care to in
vest their money in building houses
10 rent But the houses are needed
and they can be erected If 25O
patriotic residents of Pullman were
willing to put 500 each into a com
pany organized to finance the CON
struction of houses the difficulty
would be. to large extent. solved
This would make $4,000 available.
and as much more could be secured
from the Pullman Savings and Loan
association on first mortgages.
Fifty thousand dollars would finance
the construction of at least a dozen
small houses most of which could
probably be sold by giving easy
terms to the purchasers. The money
coming in from the sales would re-
coup the fund so that other houses
could be constructed and a revolv-
ing fund would be established to fl
nance a steady building campaign
year after year.
Such an investment would prob
ably not pay a high rate of interest
but it would be comparatively safe
and would result in great benefit to
the college and community. 1t
would justify the borrowing of the
500 required by persons who do
not have that amount of money to
spare to invest in the project.
This plan, or some other on the
same lines is perfectly feasible and
could easily be put over if the people
would get unitedly behind it. If
they believe that the homes are need
ed. they can provide them. It is
folly to sit back helplessly and
mourn because somebody else does
not do the building. 1t is a COM
munity problem and we. not some
body else, are the ones to solve it.
Reports are to the effect that more
than 100 new houses are under con
struction at Corvallis, Ore That is
one reason why the attendance at
o. A. c. is increasing so rapidly
Pullman should not permit the
growth of the State College to he
impeded by a lack of housing facili-
ties, but should work out a way to
provide such facilities.
1t can be done!

Sunday evening fire started in a
lunch counter opposite the passenger
depot. The wind was blowing from
the east and soon the flames were
beyond control. The depot, freight

were rapidly consumed. The wind
then changed, which caused the
flames to sweep through the heart
OF the city, burning nearly 80 blocks
before it reached the river. Every
business block was burned except the
Crescent block, which was saved by

Mr.. Lewis's message was sent to
Frank Harrington, president of the
Illinois miners, after the Illinois leader
had announced at Springfield that the
district executive board had refused TO
act independently Of the international
union in negotiating wage agreement,
and that he had wired 10 Mr.. Lewis for
Instructions.
While the message applied especially
TO Illinois, union Officials said 1t an

erendum now being taken to decide
whether the coal miners shall walk out
