His wife asked him to purchase a shirtwaist for her while in New York. After telling the salesgirl what he was after, she displayed a number, "Here are some very pretty ones. What color do you prefer?" she said. "It doesn't make any difference," replied Mr. Barton. "Doesn't make any difference!" ex claimed the salesgirl. "Why, don't you think your wife would like a cer tain color1" "No, it makes no difference what color I get or what size. I shall have to come back tomorrow to have it changed." Puzzling.

Seventy-two to four was the final count in the election affecting water users at Klamath Falls last Saturday for the adoption of a contract from the government, by which a district irri gation plan of organization will be followed instead of a water-users' as sociation, as has been previously main tained.

Reports of seditious talk have been coming in fast to the county officials during the past few months WHEAT IS FAVORABLE Crop Conditions Throughout Washing ton Show Marked Improvement Over Same Time Last Year. The entire winter has been unusually favorable for winter wheat on accouut of the above normal temperatures and adequate precipitation, practically all of which was absorbed by the soil. Many fields, especially throughout the Palouse and Big Bend areas of the state, which had not appeared above the ground by December due to lack of precipitation early in the season and where conditions indicated a duplica tion of the unfavorable rotting out of the preceding year, have attained sub stantial growth. Although there has been an unusual winter growth of all wheat throughout the Big Bend and Palouse counties, the plant has not at tained the height reached under the most favorable years, and this condi tion is conducive to weed growth later in the season. There are also occa sional fields in the Big Bend, Spokane and Whitman counties and the dry land areas of Walla Walla county, that were sown early in the fall which germinated unevenly and may require partial re-sowing, but the present fa vorable growing weather will undoubt edly materially improve the appearance of these fields within the next two or three weeks. The condition of fall wheat in Walla, Walla, Klickitat and surrounding counties is exceptionally favorable, especially in moisture. Spring seeding and planting are now general throughout the state excepting in some of the extremely late areas, On account of the early favorable spring and unusually favorable moist ure conditions, many areas in the state are completing spring seeding of wheat this year by the time they began seed ing last year. There has been considerable im provement in the condition of livestock and losses from disease have decreased throughout the entire state. Yakima Potatoes Sold to Army.
