CAMPUS FLAG HALF-MAST DYING COMRADE WRITES RELIGIOIS MESSAGE IS SENT PHILIPPINE CAMPAIGNERS. TO NORTH TAKIMA, Wash., May 1. (Special.) Hush C. Wallace, for many : years past a resident of Washington, I. C. and durins the last four years successful in distributing most of the Washington Federal patronage though holding no official position with the party, probably will be elected as Na tional committeeman by acclamation at the Democratic state convention tomor row, ending- a bitter fight around the ambitions of State Chairman John B. Fogarty. of Everett, for this post. Mr. Wallace is not a candidate, but will accept if elected, it is believed. State Chairman Fogarty has been ac tively opposed by Governor Lister's ap pointees. During the day Mr. Fogarty's supporters have been threatening to turn in revenge to the support of Judge W. W. Black, of Everett, for the guber natorial nomination. Judge Black has announced only that he will make an nouncement of his plans following the National convention and that the Gov ernorship is the only office he is con sidering. Judge Black defeated Mr. leister for the Democratic nomination four years ago but was- disqualified b the Supreme Court. Mr. Wallace is Identified with the Turner element of the party but his probable selection is considered by the Lister men as a victory for them in view of the fight they have been mak ing on Mr. Fogarty. King County at present Is the stick ing noint in the Wallace combination. Judson Shorett, King County candidate for National committeeman, is contend ing that in return for his withdrawal King County should be promised the state chairmanship. Leaders generally are contending that the Btate candi dates to be nominated in September should select the state chairman. Julius Zittel, of Spokane, virtually Is scheduled for state chairman if Governor Lister is renominated. The efforts of several women to eraln places upon the National delega tlon, at the expense of male candidates who are Democratic veterans, probably will be settled by the convention 101 lowing the plan of several years past f sending a double delegation or zs to St. Louis, with hair a vote eacn. The women candidates who have In sisteKl upon this settlement are Mrs. Harris G. Foster, of Taeoma; Mrs. Mary A. Monroe and Mrs. Elizabeth D. Chris tian, of Spokane. The state convention probably will have its sharpest fight on a proposed nonpartisan plank In the state piat form, which will be submitted by the Lister forces. Clark R. Jackson, chair man of the State Tax Commission, will prepare state planks for the resolutions committee, and Judge lieorge i urner, of Spokane, will cover Federal issues. Garfield County will send to the con vention an anti-Wilson delegation of pro-German Sinn Fein Irish, Southeast era Washington delegates who arrived here today reported. An advance guard of about 200 prom lnent Democrats arrived here today Six hundred delegates will be present when T. M. McKinney. of Walla alia, . temporary chairman, opens the conven tion tomorrow. The Democrats expect to conclude their business in one day. CATTLE LOSSES SMALL STATE LIVESTOCK MEN HEAR CHEERFUL.

What are y outdoing for your family? WHAT THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA WILL DO FOR THEM In one respect children are very much like chickens, puppies, kittens, or other young animals. If you begin early enough, and feed them right. you cn teach them almost anything and they will never forget it. A normal child is all curiosity. The more curious the child is, the more hope there is for its future. Early accustom your child to looking up things for himself in the Britannica and you will never have to worry about his or her future. With such an aid to self-confidence a very ordinary child will accomplish the seemingly impossible. It is like water to plants yon can fairly watch the growth from week to week. Every father who has tried it will bear out this statement. It iwill show your children how to educate themselves. It will show them what knowledge is collected and ready for use. It will really help them to decide on their lite work. It will show them the easiest and best way to do whatever they choose to do. It will show them the methods used by the successful. When the Encyclopaedia Britannica could not be had for less than $150, and then only in volumes really too large lor a child to handle conveniently, there was some excuse for a parent's not buying it. But now, in the "Handy volume" issue, the volumes smalle than a magazine (yet containing every wora ana every picture that is in the costlier Cambridge issue), at one-third the lowest price at which the Cam bridge issue is now selling, any family can afford it. 95 Harvard professors and instruc tors own it; 75 at Columbia: 68 sets are in the Government Departments at Washington; and 25 sets in the New York Public Library. But we do not wish you to buy on this recommendation or on ours. We want you to satisfy yourself, in w your home, with your children around you, that the "Handy Volume" Issue is the best investment you ever made in your life. Give the books a thorough trial, and be sure the chil dren's mother has a vote on the final decision. That is all we ask. Send them back inside of three weeks, if the children will give them up, and we will refund all you have paid. HAT answer will you make to your children, in years to come, when they ask you why they never had the great advan tages which other children had of learning the real facts about everything from the Encyclo paedia Britannica? for they will certainly ask you. Are you doing your full duty by them? You can make sure without risking a penny. The new "Handy Volume" Issue at one-third the price of the Cambridge University issue can be examined at the store mentioned below. On payment of only $1 the whole 29 volumes will be sent to your home. There each member of the family will have a chance to examine it carefully, thoroughly. If you are not satisfied for any reason, return the books within three weeks and we will refund all you have paid, including the shipping charges and the $1. You must act quickly, however. This offer holds good only while the present supply of books lasts. The prices of materials are advancing rapidly. Paper costs 60 more, leather 50, etc. The publishers notify us that the price of the "Handy Volume" Issue must be increased.
