THE MAN IN THE MOON

The new moon has been rising
this week back of the Mountain
and disproves the old theory that
it is the face of a man we see in
this planet. 1t isn't a mans face
at all-it's the face of a woman.
She shows up in all modernity ex
cepting the bobbed hair. Her hair
is done up in the old approved
French Knot style. She has neck
like a Venus and shoulders that
out-dazzle the Gibson type. She
looks in the dircctin of Snoqualmie
pass, from this island. Her feat
ures are similar to the features of
the girl on our American silver
dollar-though not quite so pretty
to the eyes of a poor country ed
itor. We like the picture of this
girl in the moon and if the sub
scriptions keep rolling in for the
next few weeks as well as they
have the past two weeks, wen
have money enough some day to
call on her and scrape an acquaint-
ance. If you want us to visit her,
and write up our experiences,
keep on shooting in your $500 and
as soon as we get enough to buy
the ticket wen be off!

CONFUSION NOT POPULAR

Published figures show that
ratio of automobile accidents is
steadily decreasing and has drop
ped so per cent since 1915.
In the face Of this, says Ira Mel
son Morris in Illinois State Jour
nal, automobile owners should not
be burdcned with compulsory au-
tomobile liability insurance. IF
forts should be concentrated on ac-
cident prevention.
Compulsory insurance is only a
partial and ineffective remedy for
the public against losses caused by
irresponsible drivers. In many ac-
cidents, blame cannot be fixed and
insurance would not help.
More stringent police measures
TO bar reckless and incompetent
drivers, instead Of compulsory in
surance, viii better protect the
public. The great majority of mo-
torists should not be fined"
through compulsory insurance be
cause of the faults of few.
Forcing such insurance would
increase accidents, jury duty, lit
igation and taxes.

Her home is in Seattle. On her

Progressive Farm Railroading

Three hundred railroad offici-
ais, grain and produce buyers,
bankers and big farmers and live
stock men, met in Boise, Idaho,
July 16, to estimate the states
agricultural production for the
year. They went extensively in
to the problem of supplying cars
for every crop, at the time the pro
duce is ready for marketing. The
Snake River Valley pea crop calls
for 1000 cars; and other divisions
estimated their needs, so that all
may have a chance to be served.
That is one refinement to mod
ern railroading. The farmers
themselves do not know just how
much tonnage they will have,
neither do the railroads; but to-
gether they can figure it out al
most to the ton, and both sides be
ready for the shipping crisis.
1t remains for the farmers on
one hand, and the millers, potato
dealers and other big buyers OF
farm products on the other, to or
ganize and market farm produce
III an orderly manner. To take
cotton, wheat, corn, and all impor-
tant food products out of the spec
ulative market and feed them in
to the market as the railroads
plan to feed cars into the harvest
hopper according to the daily
needs, is the road to farm and nat
ional prosperity.

BE READY FOR
THE GOLD SNAP

Two growers at Mabton, Wash,
have sold their Aajou pears for
800 ton. Both men heated their
orchards freely to ward off spring
frosts, Their price is from 500 TO
$35 ton better than that paid for
most other pears. Moses Sampson
Indian farmer on the reservation
at White Swan, Wash, has sold
his hop crop for a better price
than that paid for most other
hops; he has the best cultivated
yard in Yakima County.
Hard luck may come to the best
farmer, as it comes to the best
business men in other lines. But
the man who really tries to raise
better crops, almost always does it.
There is the story of the shiftleSG
farmer who objectected to the
young extension lecturer in his
community: What's the use of
talking to me about better farm
ingq Why, l don't even use what
| do know about good farming"
Frosts are certain to come in
business or farming and the wise
operator will have his heaters and
his resources ready for the "cold
snap"

PUT A STOP TO IT NOW!

1t is time that King county com
missioners stopped making midi
gent occupants of the Old Folks
Home the butt for political horse
play!
1t is time they cleaned house
there, and quit trying to fool the
public!
James Dupen, appointed super
mtendent by Commissioners Gaines
and Brown as reward for politi-
cal help, was charged by a woman
with a serious offense. A jury a
warded the woman damages. A.
criminal charge was then filed "a
gainst Dupen in the same comec-
ton.
The Star urged that Dupen be
removed, following the jury's YER
iict. 1t did not believe this coun-
ty's aged folk should remain long
er in his custody.
Commissioners Gaines and
Brown didn't trink so, either-os-
-ensibly.
"Wel suspend him." they an
noumced. They did-and named
Mrs. Dupen as acting superinten-
dent.
A Star man Monday inquired at
The home for the superintendent.
Dupen appeared. I'm the super
lntendent," he said.
Gaines and Brown argue that
the county isn't paying him-the
county pays Mrs. Dupen. And
Mr.. Dupen keeps his job. And
the political debt Of Mr.. Gaines
and Mr.. Brown is paid and the
public is fooled. Simple, ism t it?
But it's time to call halt. If
the also-rans are to be rewarded
with county appointive offices for
their pains, let the county com

Youth, Seriously Hurt,

Though weakened from the loss OF
blood and apparently in serious con-
difion from a knife wound in the left
side, Antonio yarrs. %, refused TO
remain at the Robert B. Green Hos
pital Wednesday night after he had
been brought there by friend.
Detectives Harris and Dwyer, as
signed to the case. were mystified by
the wounded mans refusal to divulee
any information relative to the in
flicting of the wound.
Even refusing to give his name, he
might never have been identified but
for the friend who brought him to the
institution.
And il is through the friend that
the officers hope to clear up the mys-
terry.
he, however. left hurriedly after
delivering his charge to attendants at
the hospital. As room as he had given
the mans name he left without an
swering any more of their questions.
The officers were notified immedi-
