666 TONS OF SOIL
TO CAMPUS BY WIND

Whitman county added 666 tons of
soil to the campus of the State Col
lege of Washington in a recent wind
and-mud storm, according to calcula-
lions of the students. He found that
the soils department, under F. j. Sic
vers, estimated the deposit at one
hundredth of an inch uniformly over
the entire 400 acres of the campus.
At weight of one and two-thirds tons
to the acre, this would mean 666 tons.

Most farm poultry keepers do not
know the value of dry mash as a food
for getting eggs. One of the best dry
mashes we have ever used is simply
oats crushed by running them through
a roller chopper. They are then fed
dry in a self-feeding hopper with about
one pound of granulated charcoal to
every hundred pounds Of the crushed
oats. Equal parts of oat chop and
shorts or bran will also make very
good dry mash, where the crushed
oats can not be secured.

his arrival was under way. In an

the floor There they swayed and
"trotted' to the syncopated rythm OF
the jazztime orchestra high up in the
gallery whining out its tune Of blues.
What night!
AS the noise increased servants
lowered windows and drew blinds.
The smokefilled air became difficult
to breathe. Huge balls of tape of
various color were being thrown
about the room, and men were going
from table to table, drinking to the
pretty young things who sat giggling
and smoking and raising the glisten-
ing glasses to their painted lips. 1t

popular of the younger set, and her
constant attendance by John had at
tracted attention.
John Emerson was happy Over

resist the temptation to move even

"Gloria's got him." said one.

another And 1 say she's right for

they're healthy nd-and-wealthy."
Presently the dance ended and, de-
spite the plea of the dancers. who
stood long and clapped their hands
enthusiastically for another trot, the
orchestra took time out for rest and
refreshment.
John and Gloria made their way
between zig-zag rows Of gilt chairs
to their own table. AS they resumed
their light lunch, and as John raised
his long stemmed glass to his lips
with one hand, the other, beneath the
table, sought for and finally found
the slender, warm hand Of Gloria.

BALLOON HANGARs KEPT COOL

In order to keep the interior of bal.

possible, it has been suggested that
the outside be painted with a highly
reflecting coating like white paint,
while the inside should be covered
with aluminium paint. BY this means
the radiation into the interior may be

When poor hatch is experienced,
the cause generally can be traced to
the breeding stock, the method OF
keeping eggs prior to putting them
in the incubator, or else to the ma.

raised from a poor hatch usually
must be Matched with the greatest
care if they are to be brought to ma

fertility and hatchability both are
good, no fears need be entertained
over the birds that are Matched.

Eggs become tainted when hens

or their drinking water from COW
yards. Odors and flavors in an egg
may even be caused by dirt that has
gotten on the shell. For this reason,
cleanliness in the nest and houses is
essential.
Flavoring comes from feeds that

slant reserve from which the country's
industrial ability is drawn.
It seems singular. considering how
Tremendously alert the American peo-
pie are in 30 many ways, that they
have been 80 slow to put farming on
. correct basis.
Take the rural credit movement,
for instance. The so-called Raffeisen
system was begun in Germany in the
year 1854, and it supplied loans to the
farmers in that country for an aver
age of 81 per cent. In 1915 there
were 1900 such credit unions in Ger
many, 5000 in Austria, and $500 in
Italy.
The rural credits movement be-
came active in this country about 1910
and in 1916 the federal farm loan act
was passed. The difficulties Of the
farmers in this country are largely
due to the tardiness shown by the
American people in taking up an idea
that became popular in Europe many
years ago.

DEMOCRATIC
ASPIRATIONS

It is fine thing to see ambitious
young men and women who start out
in life with abounding energy and un-
firing zest. There is so much indo-
lence and shirking, that the folks who
have the old spirit that tanned the
wilderness and created our wonderful
country have a touch Of the heroic to-
day.
If you ask these young folks. what
their aims in life are, they reply that
they want 10 become successful in
their occupation, to earn good pay, to
save money, to have family and pro-
vide a good home for them, and en-
joy reasonable comfort. So far, SO
good.
But it often happens, when young
man has worked with undivided at
tention along those lines for a period
of years, that his thought has become
so concentrated on his own advance
ment that he has no interest in other
! matters. If lot of the folks in his
home town are having a hard time,
suffering from bad economic condi-
tions, he may care little or nothing,
and feel no impulse to do anything to
help.
If such fellow achieves success, he
will frequently surround himself with
extravagant luxury, associate only
with people who can help him in a
business way or spend money as free
ly as he does. By and by he is likely
to find the material pleasures Of life
becoming tiresome. He needs more
democratic companionships.
Such people should resolve that
whatever success they achieve, they
will always cherish democratic ideals,
and that they will never cut them
selves off from the masses of the
people. For every friend they make
who is wealthy and successful, they
should try to keep several others who
are Just plain ordinary every day toll
ing folks.
Not merely is this the road to hap
piness, but unless the people VIII o
achieve wealth and success maintain
these democratic ideals. the antago-
nisms between classes will grow like
fostering wounds.

DEMOCRACY
ON TRIAL

The difficulties of conducting dem
ocratic governments and the perils
they are facing in these days, consti-
tuted the theme of speech made by
Former Premier Lloyd George OF
England during his visit to this coun-
try.
It has been hoped that democratic
governments are the institution by
which the people everywhere will be
given prosperity and happiness. But
as Mr.. Lloyd George pointed out, four
great countries. Russia, Italy, Spain,
and Germany, have for the moment
given up such governments. Doe s
this mean that the great movement
for democracy which has seemed
about to bring about new era Of
popular welfare, is proving failure? =?
In Italy, for instance. the people
seem completely dis-illusionized. They
cheerfully accept dictator who prom
ises them more successful and helpful
government than any democracy can
give.
In this country some of our radicals
are so disgusted with political meth
DDS and politicians, that they are call
ing for some new system of govern
ment. But they overlook the truth
that if there are faults in democracy,
it is because the people lack the sense
and experience to elect wise repre-
sentatives, and that any system de-
pendent on popular wisdom will ac-
complish the same or worse results.
The democratic governments have
been overthrown across the water be-
cause those countries are exhausted
by war; When dictators came along
and made glowing promises and usu
ally impossible promises, the people
were too tired and depressed to op-
pose their pretensions. In time de-
mocracy will gain the upper hand
again. The American people will cling
resolutely to it, because they know it
has given them good government. But
to get thoroughly beneficial results,
they must pay closer attention to their
duties as citizens.

THE FOUNDERS
OF CIVILIZATION

Daniel Webster once remarked that
the farmers are the founders of civil
lization. He pointed out how in prim-
tive history there always came time
when the tribes of natives began to
stop getting a living from hunting
and fishing, and began to establish
themselves in one place and till the
ton begins, and all the other arts of
modern life follow.
So it remains true that the other
industrial arts cannot be prosperous
unless farming is we'll kept up. 1t is

for young people having ingenuity
and mechanical skill, They are con-

TAKING UNCLE
SANUEL'S ADVICE

The United States government has
made several suggestions As to how
the present chaotic state OF things in
Europe can be Strengthened out. Our
government would be glad to enter an
economic conference or name some OF
its financial experts to investigate
and report on Germany's capacity to
nay its debt to France and other pow
er8.
The French government reluctantly
consents to have an inquiry into Ger
man capacity to pay, but attaches 80
many restrictions thereto that the
value of such an investigation ap-
pears doubtful.
The American people are outside Of
these fierce contentious and bitter
jsalousies. They can see the situation
with an unprejudiced eye. Their only
motive is to keep the peace. They
know that war on the other side threa-
tens to involve this country and cause
infinite loss and damage. Our people
have no axes to grind in Europe. They
merely desire to see q settlement 20
lust and fair that it will create last
ing peace.
The natural inclination Of our folks
is to side with France. They fought
by her side through 18 months OF
agony, and they do not forget ties
thus baptized in blood.
If the French would only enter hear
tily into negotiations for fixing the
German reparations payments on
practical basis, in which the United
States government should be permit
ted to take the same leadership that
it took in the Washington conference
of 1921, Europe could be set on its
feet in a short time, and prosperity
and happiness take the place of mis-
cry and hatred. It will be mighty
good plan for those nations. particu-
larly for France, to take their Uncle
Samuel's advice.
While he does not propose to be en-
tangled in any European quarrels, he
is willing to give disinterested opin-
ion, based on a practical business
sense that can see the way out Of
these troubles.
