The poet went on to talk of the

quoted Scripture but on that partic-

the Psalmist: How God is seen in
thee outgoings of morning and eve

He maketh the earth sort with show

fiocks, how He covers the valleys with
grain, and crowns the year with good

Songs and "yells" play their part in
every gathering of the girls and boys
of the junior American Red Cross
Here is a new song which appeared
in the Junior Red Cross Nelcs. 1t is
sung with the best effect by dividing
the girls and boys into two groups
and having them sing the words to
the tune of Reuben, Reuben" This
Junior version of that old song goes
like this:

manager of the Liberty Manufacture
ing company of Des Moines, Ia, in a
letter renewing his subscription to the

letter is so complimentary, in fact
that the senior publisher could not

A SPLENDID FEATURE.

The book reviews that have appear
are contributed by Alice Lindsey
Webb, news editor, State College of
Washington These reviews are not
the usual stereotyped publici y
boosts" prepared by hack writer's,
employed by publishing concerns, but
! they are the thoughtful. independent
| keenly analytical appraisals of stu
dent of literature: one who knows the
1 difference between good literature
and bad, and whose judgment is un-
| biased and whose expression of that
| judgment is untrammeled.
In introducing the first of these re-
views, the Gazette made brief mention
of the experience. training and quail
| fications of Miss Webb. We find tina
| many of our readers overlooked that
| introduction. assuming. as they did,
that the book reviews were to be the
ordinary paid publicity trash, written
just to create q demand for the books
that would be mentioned The reviews
1 themselves have dispelled this suspic-
ion and now we find that there is a
growing desire 90 know more about
| the author of the reviews. For this
reason We feel impelled again to in
troduce Miss Webb to our readers.
| For five years she was assistant
editor of press bulletins at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin,; five years ex-
tension editor at the same place; three
years editor of press bulletins at Ore
gon Agricultural College: two years
assistant registrar, New Hampshire
State College: editorial clerk for the
U. S. Shipping Board at Washington.

tural Statistics Division of the U. S.

for the past nine months news editor

The fact that Miss Webb held these
important and responsible positions
testifies to her ability and the thoro-
ughness of her educational prepara-
ton. In addition she is a constant and
studious reader of books. with a live
~ and appreciative interest in a null
titude of the things that are written
about in books. She has a large and

has available all of the facilities Of

to keep within the budget allowance;
the rigid limitation by the legislature
and taxing bodies Of all expenditures
in order that as soon as possible
and consistent with existing obliga-
lions and projects our tax levy for
all purposes in any one year may be
reduced to 40 mills on assessed val
ues;" urging that all bond issues
hereafter be of the serial type; that
all publicly owned automobiles be
standardized and a limited price
fixed that may be paid for them, and
providing penalty for their private
use; that no more offices be created
by the legislature but that effort be
made to combine offices in state, city
and county to eliminate useless dupli-
cation of work.
The republicans further went on
record in favor Of the laws passed
by the last legislature amendatory
Of the direct primary act and which
were referred by petition. Those am
endments are designed to enforce
responsibility upon candidates on a
party ticket and to prevent the fraud
SO commonly practised now of a So
cialist or nOn-partisan or what not
seeking nomination as a republican
or democrat because he thinks that
will better insure his chances for
election.
The republicans further had the
courage and patriotism to denounce
and condemn the Klu Klux Khan.
The COW" counties, a name given
in the legislature to the smaller
counties whose representatives al
ways unite to protect their districts
from the domination of King, Pierce
and sometimes Spokane counties, con-
trolled the convention at Chehalis
and King county was treated with
scant consideration. King county
had candidate for temporary chair
man in the person of Malcolm Doug
las. prosecuting attorney of King and
an able, brilliant and promising young
man who served with distinction in
the World war. He received only the
votes OF his own county's delegates
and the craftsmanship went to an
other overseas veteran, Ray Green
wood, prosecuting attorney of Kitsap
county, by grace of the united Cow"
county support.
The feeling against King county,
considerable increased by reason of
the Palmer e-apportionment bill now
before the people on petition for in
itiation, was more vigorously mani
tested when George Lamping, port
commissioner of Seattle, tried to ha-
rangue the convention for the obvious
purpose of presenting his candidacy
for the United States senatorial NOM
nation in the coming primary cam

the delegates at Chehalis knew that
to be fact and so they howled him
down without ceremony.
The net result of the contests and
rows was said to be a demonstration
that the friends of Poindexter far
outnumbered his enemies in the con-
vention.
So, the two parties have spoken
through their officially designated
mediums and the political campaign
of 1922 in the state of Washington
is formally launched. The dreadful
candidate will soon again be abroad
in the land DINING into our aching
ears the old, old story that the des-
tiny of the country hinges upon his
nomination and election. Oh, its a
great life If you don't weaken.

ally well equipped to translate her
opinions into language that is clear,
readible and interesting. In fact, a
large part Of the charm of her book
reviews is attributable to the ease, the
grace and the spice with which they
are written.
In agreeing to write these reviews
for the Gazette, Miss Webb expressed
the desire to make them not only en-
pertaining and Informative, but of
practical service to the community Of
readers. She has repeatedly expressed
a willingness to answer questions
about books and authors that may be
asked by our readers, and to review
any particular book or books at the
request Of readers of this paper. The
Gazette hopes that its readers will
take advantage of this offer. Send
questions to us and we will forward
them to Miss Webb.
We regret that Miss Webb's regular
contribution to this department was
not received in time for publication
this week. but hope to have it for the
next edition of the Gazette.
