When the bedrock of granite was laid in the walls of the earth, 'Twas the purpose of Time To build, through the aeons of ages, a place for the birth Of a manhood sublime. 'Twas the purpose of youth when he stands in his strength at the start Of life's strenuous race. To build, through the days and the years, with his mind and his heart The man for the place.

Scientific agriculturists at the Wash ington state college at Pullman are striving hard to eliminate smut from wheat, and in a bulletin Just issued set forth some very interesting In formation regarding the prevalence of smut and the best method of treating for it.

THE RESULT IX SPOKANE. That street work may now be had ir Spokane at prices ranging from 20 to 40 per cent lower than in past years Is the startling statement made by Charles M. Fassett, former mayor of Spokane and now commissioner of public utilities under the commission plan. According to Mr. Fassett the Spo krne commission has broken up the old contracting ring that used to make tig profits off city work. As a result j the city now gets more for its money than it did yet the standard of work is maintained and the same wages are given -workmen as formerly. It is very natural that such results should follow the adoption of the commission pla There is no fixed price at which public work is to be done. Concerns that do street pav ing, build bridges and lay sewers get all they can out of the work they do. I' there is "jockeying" they will "jockey." At times they form com binations and job a city by submitt ing bids that are seemingly competi tive but are not so in reality. It is often easy to do crafty work such as this when affairs are managed by an ur.wieldly council. A council is a legislative rather than an executive bedy and it does not handle adminis trative work in a close and business like manner. It is more difficult to impose upon I a city when it has the commission form of government. By the nature of things a commission of three men pf.id to manage the affairs of a city, i may g-t down to busines;, more thor- j oughly than will an unpaid city coun cil. If they don't do so it is easy to check up matters and see who is at fault. Under the council system it i often hard to t?Il who is to blame when affairs are neglected. There are too many officials and responsibility is not closely fixed as it is fixed under the commission plan. 1911 is estimated by the Chief Grain Inspector of Washington to amount to $7,000,000. This enormous loss has led lo the organization of a definite "Anti Smut Campaign." The leaders in this movement recently met in convention at Pullman to discuss the situation and to plan for a systematic-campaign of education, experimentation and or ganization to eradicate this costly pest. As a result of their deliberations the following conclusions were reach ed: The increased prevalence of smut I" due largely to the increase in acreage of fall-sown, as fall-sown grain is more susceptible to the disease than spring-sown, but spring grain is not entirely free from the trouble. Smu infection comes mostly from smutty seed, but weather and soil con ditions influence the amount of in fection, and there is a possibility of infection from smut in the ground if very smutty grain has been recently threshed near by. Solutions for treating seed wheat should be carefully made in certain definite proportions. Some wheat growers . have been successful while using haphazard methods, but they are men whose long experience en ables them to "guess" very accur ately the strength of solutions used. Safety lies in exactly measured strengths. The strength of vitrol solution is one pound of vitrol (copper sulphate or "blu-stone") to five gallons of water. Wheat should be soaked in this so lution for not less than ten nor more than fifteen minutes. Some success ful farmers have used as strong as one pound vitrol to two and one-half gal lons of water, soaking not more than ten minutes, without serious injury t0 the wheat. Too strong solution or too long soaking will kill the wheat. Formalin should be used one pound to forty-five gallons water, the wheat thorounghly vvetred by dipping or sprinkling, then covered with wet sacks for two hours, then either seed ed at once or allowed to dry thor oughly. Unbroken smut balls must be re- I moved from seed wheat, a.s no method !oi' treatment destroys the germs in TODAY'S IlIHTHDAY SKETCH. Waldemar Kokovsteff, who lias been acting Premier of Russia since Stolypin was tusassinated, and who will in all probability be continued in that high office, turns fifty-five to ll' y, according to the new calendar. The career of Kokovstoff is of pecu liar interest to the western world, tor as leader of the liberal party in russia, that country is indebted to him for every one of the reforms in penal legislation, in the organization and in the management of her pris ons that have taken place during the last quarter of a century. Russian prisoners are still far from bearing any comparison with those of Ameri ca but they are incomparably better than they were twenty-five years ago and the management on the whole, is humane. Kokovtzoff belongs to the petty no bility of the Province of Xocgorod. He J was reared at the Emperor Alexander! Lyceum at St. Petersburg, is happily married to a Mile. Anna Oebm. and ; s a popular figure in court circles 1 and in St. Petersburg society. He. is ) muc h more genial and social than was ' Stolyp n, who was too imperious, too lorrioiy in earne?t and toi opinion-i ate.l ever to become a favorite in the great world of Uuss'a. Kokovstoff' nr t became associated with the 'reasury department in 1S90 and i from that time forth he had had a I very active share in the direction of! the economic and financial policy of ' the empire. Somewhere from over the border-' land, j Came a wonderful Te'ler of Tales ' one day; j And he walked with the children, '' hand :n hand The children who followed him a!l the way, Who loved him the best, and who loved so well The wonderful tales that he had 'to tell. with eager ears For they listened, that heard Of tho wee, wise rabbit, king of the wood ; Of the baffled fox, and each beast and bird That the children knew for they understood! And ever they fallowed him. hand In hand, On his journey back to the border land. There the way begin, and the way must end, Though h's day was bright, and his sun shone high; And he waiting friends bade the parting friend, As he crossed the border, a last good-by. Oh, sad was the world that he had to leave, i But mo.-t did the hearts of the r hil- these balls, and if later broken in j dren grieve! the soed wh-at they infect the grain. LA FOLLETTE IS THE MAX. Why should the republican "lead ers" try to head Oregon into the Taft crlumn? President Taft has done ncthing for Oregon and he is not in sympathy with the political thought of this state. When he was here he had not one word of praise for the j'togrevslve measures adopted through the votes of the republicans of this state and which measures have made Oregon famous throughout the coun try. Why don't the "leaders" rally about the standard of La Follette? He Is the leader of the progressive repub licans the faction that predominates in Oregon. Taft is a reactionary and he hag been a slothful easy going Experiment." by the Experiment Sta tu n and by practical farmers will be begun this fall, to determine what so Irtions are most efficient and what conditions must be guarded against Complete eradication of smut by the united effort of every wheat grower Is the surest protection against the pest. WHY M C II A SLHiHT. The committee of 15 named to con duct the Taft campaign in Oregon is composed exclusively of Portland men. There is not a man on the com. mittee from eastern Oregon, the Wil lamette valley or southern Oregon. Why such a slight as this when two thirds the vote comes from outside of Portland? Do the surviving leaders of the late lamented assembly still l think they are the whole show and that the gentlemen who live in the "hinterland" are not to be trusted with such important work as the man agement of the Taft campaign for ren'omination ? Or do they concede that the rest of the state will go for La Follette? Dr. Wiley Commend Cotton Oil For over quarter of a century Dr. Wiley, the famous government expert, has conducted an active campaign for pure food in the interest of public health. His advocacy in a recent speech of the use of Cotton Oil as a food is, there fore, especially significant ; it simply em phasizes the wholesomencss of Cotto kne the vegetable oil shortening vhich is composed so essentially of Cot ton Oil, the ute of which he so strongly recommends. Co'tolene is endorsed by physicians generally, because of its purity and wholesomcness. It has been the leader in Cotton Oil products for over twenty-five years.
