Graded Produce Used
BY u. S. Navy

The assertion that the worlds best
fed sailors are in the United States
Navy is supported by statistics from
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture showing that 38086 pounds
of fruits and vegetables were inspect
ed on grade for the Navy in October
OF this quantity only 2o,198 pounds
were rejected as not complying with
grade Specifications.
Steamship lines, the United States
Navy and Marine Corps, the United
States veterans hospitals are making
increased use of the departments fruit
and vegetable inspection service. In
spections for veterans hospitals at
Chicago Great Lakes. Milwaukee, New
York, Philadelphia, and st. Louis COW
cred 537,3ee pounds Of fresh fruits and

Hog-Cholera Control
Proves Effective

The control of hog cholera by i'm
munization and sanitary practices is
showing encouraging results. The gross
number of reported outbreaks was
1888 or the fiscal year 1881 s.as COM
pared with 4,162 for the year 1890,
decrease of TIA outbreaks. The NOR
tality rate for hog cholera during the
last year is estimated as being the
lowest since the United States De-
partment of Agriculture hasrkept rec
ord
According to federal veterinarians,
the decline in hog cholera is being
fastened probably by IAN increasing
manufacture and use of anti-hog- chol-
era serum. Records of licensed biolog-
ical establishments show that serum
production for the fiscal year 1881 was
about As per cent greater than that
of 1890. Another helpful influence in
control has been the cooperation of
swine breeders with federal and state
livestock officials in preventing the ex-
posure of hogs to the disease.

ment for given grade, the school goes
so far az to place him in the grade
where lie greatest benefit to the
child is likely. The general practice
in the elementary school today is not
to drop an individual from school I'M
til every evidence points to the fact
that further continuance in training
will avail the individual nothing.
It is quite evident then, that the
public schools attempt to give each
individual an equal chance with his
fellows Until the pupil has reached
the compulsory school-age limit or has
been graduated from the eighth grade
he is not dropped from school unless
he is Ill, incorrigible, or so incapable
that the school can do no more for
him.
In high school the pupil Is promot-
ed by subjects rather than by grades.
He will, in general, be continued Ia
school SO long as he is passing. In one
subject. He will not be allowed to grad
uate, however, until he has passed In
80 semester subjects or l6 yearly units
Of work.

Winter Is Good Time
For Repairs on Farm

Winter can be made one of the most
profitable seasons of the farm year
because time is less expensive than
during the cropping season, according
to Leonard Hegnauer, extension ag-
economist, Washington State college.
A program of winter fertilization, land
drainage operations where necessary
and the overhauling of farm machinery
will return real dividends
There is usually always a. portion of
the farm where manure and possibly
other fertilizers can be applied without
difficulty. Grass lands can be treated
with but little loss or inconvenience.
Manure spread on these fields isnon
y place where it will not lose it's value
trough teaching. On land where
phosphates are needed, they can'iuSu-
ally be applied with manure without
loss.
Manure is easily one of the best
farm fertilizers. It contains both or
ganic matter and many Of the chem
ical elements required for vigorous
plant life. Proper fertilization means
early grass, heavy production and high
quality of feed on pasture land 1t al
so means increased yields for grain
and hay crops. There is no better way
to build up run down field.
Land which has water standing on
it during parts of the year loses much
Of it's productivity. The air spaces in
the soil are occupied by water, plant
food is dissolved and important soil
bacteria are often destroyed Draining
operations can be carried on during
the winter. in many sections of the
state. Tile can be laid for under
drainage and open bitches blasted OF
dug where tile proves too expensive
Durable wood can often be substituted
for tile and is usually much less ex-
IpenSive.
Overhauling the farm machinery
should be an important part of every
winters working. Placing each imple-
ment in perfect mechanical condition
and under roof, often saves costly
delays with the arrival of the spring
planting season. Last but not least, is
the repair of farm buildings. Although
this requires considerable time, the
outlay is small compared to the re-
turns

The Modern School
SCHOOL MARKS AND PROMOTION
BY Robert 8E. Met onnell
President, Ellensburg State Normal

Accomplishments in school are re-
warded on relative basis much as
are ccomplishments in life outside
the school. The best workmen in life
are given the rating of expert. The
next best group is made up of "jour-
neymen." The least capable individu-
ais are labeled apprentices" There
is fourth group, however, made up
LOT people who try the work but who
cannot succeed to the extent Of hold
ing position.
In school the individuals who &C
complish the most in any one grade
(the sixth for example) are rated as
"a" pupils. This group usually con-
stitutes approximately 10 per cent Of
those In the grade. The next best
pupils are labeled "B" and constitute
about 20 per cent of the grade. The
third classification is &c" which is at
tached to practically 40 per cent of
the pupils. Another 20 per cent Of
the grade is made up of I'D" pupils.
Those who accomplish the least
(about S per cent of the grade) are
called problem cases or 'F" pupils.
The remainder drop OUT because of
illness or some other unfortunate rea-
son. Those who fall below a Cd"
rating can be likened unto those who
cannot hold position in life outside
the school. Each year many schools
are adopting the A B G D F system
of marking. Those that still use the
percentage SYSTEM however, conform
to the plan of marking on the basis
of relative accomplishment.
The school is more kind to individ-
uals, however, than is life. 1t gives
the pupil many more opportunities to
succeed. Teachers give consideration
to individual problems They diagnose
each persons difficulties and spend
time in setting him right. He is given
trial after trial in an attempt to have
him make good. He is not held back
in other subjects if he is having diff
ficulties, with one. In fact, if the pu-
Ipil fails to make the minimum require

Decrease in Cattle TB
Shown by Tests

The success Of the nationwide CAM
paign to eradicate bovine tuberculosis
has been due largely the determine
ton on the part Of the public not to
tolerate the presence Of such dam
gerous livestock malady. This is the
opinion expressed by DR.. A. e. Wight,
in charge of tuberculosis eradication
for the U. 8. Department. of .Agri-
culture, at the recent annual meeting
of the U. 8. Livestock Sanitary Assoc
iation, at Chicago.
Referring to the results obtained by
the campaign, Doctor Wight gave the
following comparison: In the 15-year
period ended in 1908, 100000 tubercu-
lin tests were applied which disclosed
an infection Of 10 per cent In the
year 1881 alone more than 13 million
tuberculin tests showed only 1.5 per
cent infection. This was at the rate
of more than a million tests a month
and is an indication Of the vast effort
being put forth to conquer tuberculosis
among cattle.
"Tuberculosis-e dication work I'M
der the area plan continues to be a
satisfactory and practical method of
discriminating the disease Doctor
Wight said. ''Since the first of Mo-
vember, 1880, f216 counties have been
added to the modified accredited area
where the degree of infection has been
found to exist to not; more than one
half of one per cent. This makes a
total of 1,271 counties, or nearly AZ per
cent of the total number of counties
lin the United. States, lin which bovine
tuberculosis has been practically seradi-
Gated"
Among other subjects discussed by
Doctor Wight were tuberculosis-free
stockyards and the Interstate Shipment
of cattle. These problems, he said,
will be greatly simplified Awhe1l more
of the cattle producing counties can
jbe placed in the modified accredited
area. Doctor Wight also mentioned
the elimination of tuberculosis from
Epoultry flockS and the reduction of
FJohne's disease or paratuberculosis, re-
Elated phases of the eradication cam
paign which are important.
Those who attended the meeting
were provided with small map Of
the United States showing the loca-
ton of all modified accredited areas
that have been established up to No
vember l, 1881. A copy may be OBJ
tanned by writing to the U. S. De

hat he had shaken down his stove and had gone into the yard to rid d1e some ashes. When ne returned he discovered the place on fire and that the chimney had fallen from the stove. An alarm was registered from Box 51 at 10:4I a. m. Some of the companies were not back in service until after 12 o'clock.
 One of the first spectators to reach the scene and to enter the building to warn occupants of the tenements was Daniel Sullivan of 737 Cooke street, an employe of the city water department. He escorted Mrs. Ma han and several others from the building. They found refuge with neighbors.
 The flames after sweeping through the store started up the front of the building, damaging the front of the tenements of Bridget Griffin, Mrs. Mahan. William J. Meara and Mrs. x. Hubbell.

A fire starting this morning in the dry goods store of G. Wihbey at 172 Baldwin street resulted in the total loss of his business and damage to the building in which the establish ment was located that will bring the loss up to $7,000. according to esti- mate. Several companies of fire ap. paratus were obliged to battle for nearly two hours to save the build ing. Three lines of hose were used in combating the flames. An over turned stove pipe was the cause of the fire. Mrs. Mary Mahan, owner of the building, stated that the struc- ture was scorched considerably and that it was very evident that the tenements would suffer some from water. She had no idea as to the total amount of damages to-day.
 The fire originated in the store and obtained such a headway that fire- men were obliged to work hard to save the structure. Wihbey claimed

United Press Stan Correspondent) Washington. Aug 13-UP)- The echoes of gun ire in Cuba are reverberating unpleasantly in the ears of President Hoover and his state department advisors. Officials ask each other: Will the long. .smouldering unrest in Cuba flame into wide. spread | revolution against President Gerar- do Machado? And if this happens. will the United States be forced to intervene to restore order? The last question deals only with a possibility suggested by precedent. Officially. the state de- partment declares it is giving no thought to intervention. Revolution in any Latin-Ameri- can country disturbs this govern | ment, may endanger United States | investments, possibly imper American lives. Strife in Cuba is | particularly harrassing to the state | department.
 American interests there are $500, 100000 (Billion), more than anywhere else in Latin-America. | More important, the United States has a treaty right--an obligation, as some officials see tito maintain order there.
 Cuba is not a possession of the United States like the Philippines, not a territory like Hawaii. Theo- retically it is independent. Yet the United States. without violating international law. can send, and has sent troops into Cuban terri tory.
 The situation dates back to 1898, when the United States took up arms against Spain and helped liberate Cuba.
 Peace raised the question of Cuba's future. Spain was willing for the United States to assume a protectorate over Cuba.
 But this idea went against the grain of the anti -imperialists in the United States.
 From the end of 1898 until 1902 General Leonard Wood headed l military governments in the island. | In 1900 a Cuban convention was | elected to draft a constitution.
 This document paid scant heed to Cuban-American relations. Con- sequently, Secretary of War Elihu Root suggested five provisions which he felt the people of Cuba should desire to have incorporated in her fundamental law" These were embodied in the Platt amend ment to the U. S. war department appropriation bill of 1901 and sub- mitted to Cuba for acceptance.
 Article three sanctioned United States intervention flor the preser- vation of Cuban independence, the maintenance of a government ade- quate for the protection of life, property and individual liber-
 The constitutional convention rejected 1t and sent delegates to Washington. Root in now famous interpretation-foll incident ally, by Secretary Stimson--said the right of intervention was not synonymous with intermeddling" in Cuban domestic affairs. The convention then passed the amend ment 16 to II.
 The United States first and only formal" intervention came in 1906. Liberal armies threatened the moderate president, Estrada Palma. The administration re- signed, leaving Cuba without a government. President Roosevelt sent 7,600 marines into the island to restore order and the United States temporarily took over the government.
 Troops have been landed. how ever, on other occasions. A body of marines was put ashore near Santiago in 1912 to quell disorders. Again, in 1917, marines were land ed at Santiago, ManZanillo and civil conflict.

that they flew over fortified zones and took photographs from the air.
 Minister of Communications Matajiro Koizuni said to-day it was obvious that the two flyers had committed an offense by flying over Japanese fortifications and that they probably would be punished.
 Koizumi said Japanese officials felt some action was necessary to uphold the law and establish a precedent in Japanese-American relations.
 The flyers, who are planning a flight to America, probably will learn tomorrow what the penalty will be, Koizumi said, Koizumi predicted it would be light.
 Pangborn and Herndon denied reports of the Nippon Dempo. Jap anese News Agency, that 1t was un-
