ANOTHER zALESkI IN
 CHAMPIONSHIP RACE
John, Brother of Alexan- der, Wins His School
 Title

The ability to shoot marbles seems 10 run in the Zaleski family for John Ialeski, the 10 years old younger brother Of Alexander Zaleslu of 122 Booth street, who won the city championship last year, won the championship of the Washington school from large field there yes ierday afternoon.
 Zaleski was hard pressed, how ever, by both the runners-up Salya- ore Aresco IS of 237 Washington street and Morris Goldberg, 13, of B Broad street, but his brother has evidently taught him many of the tricks of the game for he took ad- vantage Of every favorable oppor- tunity and his aim was invariably accurate although he missed many shots through nervousness. Aresco and Goldberg defeated several other rontenders as did Zaleski. but while fairly sure shots they failed to see several openings which might have led to victory.
 ooplll" LdtlnSkS' Ip' oi 1T RIIcH street, won the girls championship at the same school but tho play of the ladies was far inferior to that Of the gents"
 The games which were called off Monday afternoon on account of the indictment weather will be played as soon as possible. Jt is expected that the Camp school will be called into the arena on Friday afternoon after school.

NAVAL MAN FREED OF
 OVERCOMING CONDUCT
Court Martial Finds No Basis for Charges
 Filed

New York, May 13. (AP) --Lieu- tenant Commander Earl P. Huff, medical corps, ', s. navy attached to the submarine base at New Lon don. Conn.,, was acquitted by a general court martial, sitting at the Brooklyn navy yard yesterday, of charges of "conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman" in connec- ton with his alleged failure to pay alimony 10 his divorced wife since April 1924, 1t became known today.
 A court of five officers, with Cap tain Andre M. Proctor as president, found charges brought under arti- cles 42 of the articles for the gov renment of the navy. known as the general" article, unfounded. Lieut.. G. B. Hoover was judge advocate.
 While no official statement was available pending review of the case by higher naval authority, 1t is un- derstood that the courts finding was influenced by the fact that COiuI uIudll'I'l HULL lltLo VI ohS ll tlI- ton in Massachusetts courts for re- duction of his alimony, fixed by a decree in a California court Of De- cember 2G. 1922, at $145 a month in accordance with a written agree mcnt made out of court settling property rights between Com mander and Mrs. Huff. Commander Huff made payments until April, 1924, the charges showed.
 Recent information from the navy department indicated that consider able correspondence had passed be- tween Commander Huff and the de- partment relative to his alleged failure 10 met his alimony pay ments, and that Secretary of the Navy Wilbur had admonishcd him that continued failure would result in disciplinary measures.

Have Three Plans.

The committee Is considering three remedies for the situation: First, 70 have the state take Jurisdiction along state highway syst ems, only, but this idea is opposed by the com missioner since some trunk lines go through towns; Second 10 give inc motor vehicle commission jurisdic- ton only Tn towns where there are TO building regulations; third, 10 give the commission authority only in towns Of less than 10000 popu- iation.
 Commissioner Stocckel favors the last plan. which is also the choice of members ot the committee, 1t seems This would put the filling sta ton question entirely in the hands Of local authorities.
 StOeCkei Explains.
 The motor vehicle commissioner announced today that he plans to have this bill originate in commit tee and urge it's passage 10 relieve state officials of affairs which are purely local 10 the towns from which they arise. The situation has reached the acute stage and as the legislature is in session an effort will be made 10 cope with the problem at once.

Learn to Dance" was the first item
in the rules which were given him.
Take half a dozen lessons from a
professional who is a top-notcher-not
a teacher, a stage man. Then, when
you have your stuff down cold, dance
we'll but sloppily. Make it look like
you didn't care.
Never raise your voice. Be sort

New Achievement
in Hotel Operation

A unique achievement in hotel oper-
alton is the claim Of one of Spokane's
newest hotels, the Volney.
Many out-of-town people demand
the most modern conveniences, steam
heat, phone in each room, elevator,
comfortable rotunda with piano and
phonograph, and all of these are to
be found here.
However, they are also deeply inter
ested in other things that help their
material comfort and the proprietors
have seen that they have been sup
piled. Most hotels that are centrally
located and within a few steps of the
retail shopping district and the thea
TIRES are bothered. by street noises.
The clang of street cars and the noise
of all-night taxicabs and newsboys are
not conducive to sleep, particularly if
one is not accustomed to them. These
EARRING notes on good nights rest
have no place in hotel that is ca
tering to out-of-town transient trade,
believes Mr.. Boesche, the proprietor,
and an inspection of the rooms con-
WINGED the writer that they actually
are not permitted to disturb the slum-
Der of his guests.
With many important conventions
coming to Spokane this summer the
Volney is expecting to convince a
large number Of out-of-town people
that it is possible to live in the heart
Of Spokane's busiest section and still
enjoy the quiet and privacy of the
most rural cnmmunitY

In his first public address delivered
after his appointment as Secretary Of
Agriculture, DR.. William M. Jardine
expressed the opinion that in the
efficiency Of production of farm crops
and their marketing lay the true road
to prosperity for the American
farmer.
1.-The prosperity of America de-
ponds upon the prosperity of her key
industry, farming" DR.. Jardine as
serted. 1T concerns every one Of
us. If there is one thing | hope to
secure In my work as secretary Of
agriculture 1t is little more associa
ton between the business man Of
the farm and the business man Of the
city. l have never seen anything
gained by trying to band one class
against another.
"The farmers must get quality into
the markets to reduce costs. The con-
sumner cannot be expected to pay
much more than he Is now paying
for his beefsteaks, his bread, his
staples.
But you don't need to ask him to
pay more. The thing to aim for Is a
shorter distance between the con.
sumer and the producer. There must
be teamwork-cooperation between one
producer and another, and between
producer and the ultimate market.
ut is our one remedy to help every.
one to understand the few simple car
dinal principles, and the governments
task Is to get those principles to the
people.
II want the farmers to have reli-
able information fresh when 1t Is
needed, and not after the emergency
is past. This is the opportunity for
our newspapers to be OF universal
service. The farmer must know how,
when and what to plant Wheat pro-
duction Is prerequisite to orderly
marketing.
"And by balanced production do
not mean big reduction Of wheat
one year, or big reduction Of corn
or Of alfalfa. l mean little shift
from one crop to another We must
inject business into agriculture, and
there is only one way to retain our
high farm values-that is, through
efficiency In agriculture"

them all sorts of soft soap; put on
extra good manners for them. With

you mean 1t. An excellent way to

strongly that she isn't sure whether
you're kidding or not.
Here's the best method yet, only
1t takes nerve to get away with 1t.
l mean-insult them. You have to be
consistent, though. You cans mix
fake compliments and insults. For
instance, cut in and say, May I drag

and then follow 1t up by remarking,
Gosh, you're terrible tonight or
We'll, dumb-bell, what's the bad
news?' They like that. They take II

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow
Some farmers are going to plant
poor quality seed this spring even
though the Idaho 1924 seed crop was
the highest quality crop produced
since the establishment of the state
seed laboratory in 1918, according to
G. B. Allison, field agronomist and
state seed commissioner.
practically all the pure seed
moved at harvest time" said Mr.. Ahl-
son. Screenings were held and in
some cases seed containing dodder
and other noxious weeds is still in
the hands Of farmers because they
were unable to dispose of the seed at
a number one price. These farmers
expect to sell this seed to their neigh
.bors, who perhaps know very little
about the quality of alfalfa or clover
seed and consequently will pay dearly
for cheap seed.
1.-THE pure seed law is In effect for
protection to the farmer Every
farmer as well as the dealer Is re-
quired to have all lots of seed tested
and all lots must pass the state seed
law requirements before the owner is
privileged to expose the seed for
sale for seeding purposes. A test
costs the farmer nothing and 1t may
save him a few hundred dollars in
the course of two or three years. A
two-ounce sample sent to the state
seed laboratory, Boise, or the branch
laboratory, Moscow, should be re-
ported in day or two.
1.-THE report will give the purity,
which may be as high as $3.50 per
cent. The purchaser is not SO much
interested in the purity as what com
prises the part Of a per cent not re-
