has been Issued every 72 seconds from

standing In line waiting their turn. In
this line every nationality is seen, and

Through some "pull," however, the two

have managed to escape the long line.
They were Miss Gladys Vanderbllt, who

Palouse, Wash , March 7 With more
than 200 farmers and gralngrowers of
Whitman county In attendance at the
convention of the Farmers' Educational
and Cooperative union Wednesday, and
which was by far the most successful
held since the work of the organization
waa started in this county, the ques
tion of sack purchases . was the prin
cipal topic of discussion, but no final
determination was arrived at. The
opinion of the majority seemed to be
tnat the problem could beat be solved
by each local rather than by the county
organization, state Organiser Elmore
stated that It was practically decided
by the various locals to elub together
and pool their orders and receive bids
from the sack dealers, with the under
standing that the sacks will be deliv
ered at the most centrally located point.
It was the unanimous decision that
candidates for the legislature should be
made to pledge themselves for the re
peal of the road law as it Is at pres
ent, no suDstauie measure wns sug
gested, but it jas stated by most of
tba speakers tnat if no better law
could be framed the one now In exist
ence should be repealed and the old
one revived. The principal objection
to the law as it stands Is, as claimed,
that the funds derived from road tax
ation and bridge Improvements are not
equally distributed. A committee was
appointed to investigate and report at
the next meeting. '

New Tork lost her only real, live

"Peary" was found stretched out on a

breast and a smile on his lips, as dead
as dead could be. He will be ere-i'lv

Kemp has been a student at Columbia
university, and unless he decides to
work for a living he is sentenced for
life to be a student. A quarter of a

provision tnat ne migni nave im

registered student Kver since then
Kemp has been trying not to graduate
and not to use up all the 250 course
in the curriculum before he died. Ha
Is able now to write half a dozen de
grees aftr his name and befo he
dlea he will probably nave a list of
titles that will resemble the entire al
phabet. Some years ago Kemp applied to tho
court to have the will so contrued that
he might leave the university and marry
and atlll draw his annuity. This was
not allowed, however, so Kemp has re
mained unmarried, and still prefers the
classic halls of Columbia to taking
any chancea of making wealth and fame

on a brass plate by means of a machine
called the "stereograph" which IS
worked by a Wind operator. After a
