GRAIN REVIEW
CHICAGO - Wheat

CHICAGO - Wheat prices fluc-
tuated irregularly on the board of
trade Friday.
At the close, wheat was off
u to Y, cent, corn up to "a
cent, and oats unchanged TO u
cent lower.
Opening quotations in wheat
were as much as a cent higher, but
lower outside markets and hedg-
ing by milling and cash interests
depressed prices a cent in the first
hour.
A fairly sharp upturn at Winni-
peg led to a good recovery here,
but plenty Of wheat was Offered
on the advance.
Directors of the board of trade
reduced margin requirements on
wheat from Is to Is cents bushel
and on other grains in proportion.
Corn was easier in the first hour
but firmed later. The advance
was checked by the downturn in
wheat and by hedge selling.

The federal government has just appointed Harlan Par

be consutan to direct the settlement of the than
million of desert land that will be made bloom by
the waters of the Grand Couee.
It's smart to get real expert in to help the
settlers because they going to need help
Many of them will be city folks with little experience
the land They'll need to be taught the fundamentals
of irrigation farming
Others will be from districts with land entirely different
from that of the Couee They'll need the of
irrigation farming.
Then there the question of crop rotation that there
won't be SURPRISES of foods and lack of others.
All in ALL it's real job for expert If Parrows is up

PULSE OF THE
PUBLIC
TRUTH WILL CONQUER
BY FREE SPEECH

Editor, The Times: Say what
you like-the truth will conquer
anyway" said Rev. Fred Shorter
of Seattle in inviting the writer
to speak before the Sunday
forum in Independence hall. A
d biously complimentary re-
mark; but the creed that truth
will always conquer error in fair
fight has given the Peoples
forum an influence in Seattle
extending far beyond its men,
bership.
The American Foundation for
Abundance opens sim j ar
weekly forum in Emerson hall.
1109i2 Broadway, next Wednes-
day evening. Never was the
need for free discussion greater,
because never We're the peoples
problems greater. The AFA
realizes that the only final an
swer to these problems is abund-
ance for all through production
for use, and devotes its organized
effort solely TO that end. but it
knows that to hold its members
away from the day by day strug-
giles of the people is to doom
AFA to sterility.
All points of view will be well
come at this forum. and speak
ers from every camp. Sparks
come from the clash of steel and
light from the clash of ideas.
Practice in public spe X ng
makes for effective performance
in conventions and legislatures.
Practice in debate makes tor
logical arrangement of thoughts
and words. and if we are 10 gain
economic freedom this side of
fascism. we will need logical
thinking and speaking.
Moreover, even to keep free
speech we must practice il. An
unused arm grows weak and an
unexercised right becomes poorly
guarded. We can hardly prize
a right We do not practice; yet
il we lose free speech We shall
feel its lack as our forefathers
did, and give our lives as they
did TO win it again.

Your HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

Summer complaint once
listed as chief among the con-
ditions that caused the death OF
babies, is now no longer feared
by those who realize why this
condition caused so many deaths
in the past. In those days we
knew little about the necessity
for pure water, pure milk and
real cleanliness.
Summer complaint and the
other diseases Of the intestines
that were SO dangerous for ba-
bies are all germ diseases. The
organisms that cause diarrhes
and inflaumation of the bowels
get into the babys food or into
the water that it drinks. If the
mother nurses her baby and if
she gives it only boiled water that
has been kept cool. the baby will
not be exposed TO this danger.
If the baby Is no. nursing but
taking instead a mixture based
on cows milk or on unsweetened
evaporated milk mixed with wa
ter, the mother must be certain
that this, too, is protected
against contamination with
germs. All mixtures of milk
and water given to children up
to two years of age should be
boiled and kept in a refrigerator
between the time of the feelings.
Each feeding should be kept in
an individual bottle. The milk
may be warmed before it is
given to the baby.
II does no good. however, for
the mother to boil the mixture if
she herself does not clean her
hands before she prepares the
baby's food. Whoever is in
charge of the preparation should
always wash the hands thor
oughly with soap and water be-
fore handling either the baby's
bottle, the pots, the nipples or
anything else involved in feed
ing the baby. Dishes, bottles,
pots and nipples should always
be boiled before they are used
in preparing food for the baby.
Moreover, mothers must be
careful about the manner in
which the bottle is handled after
the milk is in IL. The bottle
should not be left in the baby's
crib. II should not be given
TO the baby TO play with while
the baby is seated in the grass.
Any milk left in the bottle after
the feeding should be thrown out.
After the feeding is completed
and the bottle has been emptied,
il should be washed and both
the nipple and the bottle should
be put aside in a clean place
until the time comes TO boil them
again.
Few people seem TO remember
that flies carry germs which may
infect the baby. Whenever the
baby is lying in its crib, it must
be protected against flies. Mos
quito netting placed over the
crib or carriage will keep off in
sects of all types which may be
harmful TO the baby.
Remember also that the baby
may be easily infected by adults
who are themselves not well.
Certainly everyone with cough
or a cold should stay away from
a young infant. Equally danger
Gus is the adult who likes TO pick
up babies and play with them

responsibility il prophesied. Re-
form movements win multiply

The evening Is unfavorable for
romance. Young folk at sum-
mer resorts may discover that
they are bored despite music
and recreations. The male mind
may be immune to feminine
charm.

counties.
Then came the salary question.
Judge Turner of Spokane argued
for salaries that would make the
bench appeal TO the highest type
of attorneys in the state" S. +.
suksdorff of Ellensburg led the
group which believed that a law
yer was a lawyer and elevation
to the bench didn't make him
worth any more to the community.
Three thousand dollars, about
$40 a day, seemed like lot OF
money. Suksdorff said he thought
that was enough to keep a FAM
lily in pretty good style Judge
Turner retorted that figures alone
didn't mean anything. Some men
in Spokane, he said, were keeping
their families pretty well' on 81
a day, but that they wouldn't
make very good judges. He
thought a good supreme court
Judge was worth $4,000 a year.
and a superior court judge $4,000 =
year.
At this stage of the argu-
ment, Gwin Hicks, Tacoma
delegate, proposed a compro-
mise fixing salaries Of SUI
perior court judges at $4,000;
four supreme court judges ut
$4,000. and the chief justice
at $4,000. That's the way 1t
went through.
Though there was considerable
debate on the subject, fixing SAL
aries of state officers was an
easier nut to crack. The governor
was given $4,000 year; lieuten-
ant governor, $500, secretary OF
state and attorney general, $4,000
each; state superintendent Of
schools, 1880.

compensation was definitely
fixed at SIS day. Several eff
forts to increase the figure

About this time it was sug-

journed for a day to attend clam

reports said few of the delegates

Fights for Diety
lswyers-Worth More or

Governors Salary
Tops List
THE next episode after passage
L OF the statehood bill that
Grover Cleveland signed on WASH
ingtons' birthday was the con-
stitutional convention which met
July 4 at Olympia with rs dele
gates. Judge John p. Hoyt. Of Sc
attic, a very estimable gentlemen,
was elected president.
Gnin Hicks. one time
printer on the Ledger, a dele
gate from Tacoma. was the
only native born member of
the convention. Other Tacoma
delegates were the late T. l..
Styles and Potter Charles Sui
Ivan. J. I. Eshelman, a dele
gate from North Yakima,
moved TO Tacoma later.
The convention labored for six
weeks with more or less turmoil
due TO the fact that too many
lobbyists representing special in
terests were messing around. The
constitution of the United States
was framed behind closed doors.
Nobody knew anything about it
until the convention was ready to
report. That's why it wears so
well. But we had progressed too
far for that. Everything must be
done out IN the open.
The first row was over the
proposal TO mention the Diety
In the preamble. A couple of
hard bitten old fellows argued
that 1t was making a farce of
God. One of them, named
Comegys, said: you fellows
can't fool God by putting His
name i'm the constitution. He
knows you don't mean any
thing by IT,"
Samuel q. Cosgroye, the
man who was elected governor
of Washington but died before
he could serve, said II would
look like infidelity to leave the
name of God out. IF we do
not respect God. God will not
respect our constitution" said
he.
The name of the Diety went in.
t8A
One of the prolonged discussions
which took place in the state con-
stitutional convention at Olympia
80 years ago concerned the num-
Der of official positions to be pro-
vided for and the salaries. to be
paid out of the public treasury.
Part of the controversy was due to
a difference of opinion as to how
much lawyer was worth after he
had acquired job on the superior
or supreme bench.
Though they were concerned
about the salaries, members of the
legal lobby were interested first
in the number of judges. Obvi-
ously. the more judges the more
jobs there would be, and some of
the territorial lawyers were in need
of jobs
After several days debate,
the number was fixed at five
supreme judges and IL supe-
rior court judges. Whitman,
Pierce and King were each
given one judge, and nine
