I > Early, in the morning of a cold winter day The Hungry

flown away, together with all the Golden Eaglets I so fool
ishly parted with, during the pleasant summer days."
Then The Prosperous Man pointed to the wood-pile and
'buck-saw and bade The Hungry Man CONSIDER.
And as The Hungry Man turned sorrowfully away, he said
pinto himself, "with those who have not THE SAVINGS
f HABIT, it is ever thusly."

The Indian M a Citizen.
According to the superintendent
of the Carlisle Indian School, the
American Indian is finding himself
and Is taking his proper place with
the white man as a good citizen, true
patriot and self-respecting and self
supporting workman find Christian.
This is true of the Indians who have
not been pauperized by misdirect
ed government bounty and by sham
philantrophy, administered by igno
rant faddists elected to pose as
friends to the Indian. The best In
dians are those for whom the least
has been done, and who, consequent
ly, have done most for themselves.
The American Indian does not dif-'
fer to any remarkable extent rom ;
men of any other race. When com-]
pelled to do it by necessity, he will
learn to change his habit of life and
adapt himself to new environment
and new conditions fairly well. The
trouble has been, in the treatment
of the Indian in the past, there has
been altogether too much made of the
idea that the Indian is the ward of
the nation. He has been given great
reservations, large annuities in mon
ey, rations when needed, and gen
erally trained to the idea that it was
the duty of the government to sup
port him in idleness. When dissat
isfied he took to the war-path and
when brought back to the reserva
tion was more tenderly treated in
the future for fear that he would
break out again.
No people of any race in the world
could have stood such deliberate
pauperizing treatment and emerged
from It any better than the Indian
did. Under a more sensible policy
they are showing their real capabil
ities.
If the Indians had been put from
the start squarely on the plane with
other people, compelled to work or
starve, receiving nothing that they
did not earn, they would have merg
ed readily in the population within a
single generation.
Metlakatlah, Alaska, is an object i
lesson of how readily the Indians can .
be trained into the paths of civilization 1
with no money aid and nothing save :
guidance and instruction. There is i
as decent, orderly, self-respecting, in
dustrious and thrifty a community ,
as can be found anywhere, and the
Indians did it all for themselves, un- >
der the guidance of one white man
who devoted his life to their inter
ests.—Seattle P. I.
Will Visit in Texas.
A. M. Hays, accompanied by his
wife and two children, will leave Sat
urday for Bridgeport, Texas, to spend
several months with his sons. Mr.
Hays recently disposed of his farm
machinery, etc., at public auction
and rented his farm near this city,
to enable him to take a much need
ed rest for a few months. He knows
the value of a Pullman farm, how
ever, and states that there is not
enough money in circulation to buy
the farm from him. He is a booster
in every sense of the word and it's
dollars to doughnuts that before he
returns to Pullman he will have in
duced gome of theTexans to cast
their lot in the country where a crop
failure is unknown and where dol
ors grow on wheat stems.
AGRICULTURAL
EXTENSION' WORK
What Is Is and What It Should
Become.
(R. C. Ashhy, in Washington Agri
culturist.)
Agricultural extension in Wash
ington has been conducted in three
principal forms: Farmers' institutes,
agricultural demonstration trains,
and demonstration farms. During
the year which closed June 30th, the
institutes and trains brought the call
of practical, intensive agriculture to
more than 50,000 of our people. The
I demonstration farms carried a silent
hut certain message to a dozen dif
ferent and separate communities.
The work has received the hearty
endorsement and ready appreciation
of all parts of the state, while the
; demand for it is increasing steadily.
.To satisfy these demands more and
better work must be done.
During the coming season farmers'
institutes will continue to be held
wherever the farmers want them.
This means wherever communities
are progressive and trying to im
prove agricultural methods. At the
present time a strong series of meet
ings are being arranged through the
Walla Walla country. Later, it is
planned to hold Institutes through
out the Big Bend section, and a third
series is to be conducted in north
western Washington during the win
ter. In late February or March
the center of institute operations will
be transferred to the Yakima val
ley.
In some sections there is a lack
of co-operation on the part of the
local communities. The farmers do
not seem to realize that the institute
is a state institution, and as such,
conducted for the benefit of every
one. Occasionally we find a com
munity in which there is more or less
local jealousy or partisanship of var
ious sorts. There, if one organiza
tion takes charge of the arrange
ments for the farmers' institute, those
who are not members refuse to as
sist in making the meeting success
ful. The most satisfactory arrange
ment would be a local institute or-
ganization in every community. At
Enumclaw for instance, the farmers
have an institute association, which
includes members of other farmers'
organizations. This association has
a director in each community, and
when an institute is scheduled these*
men take charge of all arrange
ments. They do everything on time
and in the right way. For this
reason Enumclaw is one of the best
institute points in the state . We
must remember that the institute is
public property and conducted for the
public good; j As such, it is to the
advantage of every farmer, every
farmers' organization, and every com
mercial club to bring as many peo
ple as possible in contact with the
•work. The institute programs thiß
year will include practically all the
following subjects: Soil, soil culti
vation, dairying, horticulture, j live
stock, good roads, poultry, veterin
ary and farm management. Domes
tic science and home economics will
be included whenever possible, but
only a small amount of work In this
line can be offered this year.
, If the railroad companys will co
operate, tne college plans to send
demonstration trains throughout a
large part of the state during the
coming season. This work will be
made of the greatest possible value
and all equipment carried will be
chosen for its proven usefulness.
The demonstration farm work is
being continued and its scope en
larged as facilities allow. This type
of work has proven Its value in all
sections of the country. One recent
development in this line is the no
ticeable tendency on the part of sev
eral counties to use their county
farms for demonstration purposes.
In every instance this has resulted
in increased production from the
farm itself, and instead of being a
source of expense to the county, the
farm usually becomes sources of rev
enue. In a few Instances the county
farm is being used as a demonstra-
tion farm and at the same time con
ducted in connection with the local
school, thus offering splendid facili
ties for practical agricultural high
school work.
For the first time we are now un
dertaking extension short courses.
At Lynden December 11th to 16th,
there will be offered a week's course
in dairying, soils, poultry and home
home economics. At Cashmere, De
cember 18th'to 23rd, a six weeks'
course In horticulture, poultry and
home economics. Registration is
already large in both these schools
and Interest In them is keen. It is
possible that a third course may be
given at Snohomish. The two
schools already scheduled are made
possible by the interest and enthu
siasm of their local committees. The
ablest Instructors on the college staff
will have charge of the work, and
detailed programs are now being is
sred.
The greatest handicap in the exten
sion field at the present time is the
lack of experienced workers. The
money available for this work is not
sufficient to keep a separate staff em
ployed throughout the year, and con
sequently a large part of the work
must be done by the regular college
men. This works a hardship in
two ways. First, only a limited
amount of work can be undertaken,
and, second, the college men are fre
quently asked to sacrifice their own
time in order to do outside work.
Just at present there is before con
gress a bill which proposes to ap
propriate to each state the sum of
$15,000 annually for the support of
extension work. This bill is known
as H. B. No. 11,542. It should re
ceive strong support.
The real purpose of the agricultu
ral extension movement is to bring
directly to the farms of the state
the services of the agricultural col
lege. To accomplish the amount of
work desired at the present time re
quires increased support, both from
the state and from the federal gov
ernment, and those who have care
fully studied the question do not
doubt that this will be furnished.
The entire purpose of the work is in
cluded in the term "Agricultural Ex
tension Service."
COACH OSTHOFF
CHOOSES ALL-STARS
Given U. of XV. Six Players on Paper
Team. Entire Backfield From
That Institution.
Quarterback anr captain— Coyle,
University of Washington.
Right Half— Mucklestone, Univer
sity of Washington.
Left Half —Wand, University of
Washington.
Fullback—Sparger, University of
Washington.
Left End —Grimm, University of
Washington,

Oregon.
Left Guard—Joe Harter, State
College of Washington.
Center —George Harter, State Col
lege of Washington.
Right Guard —Kellog, University
of Oregon.
Right Tackle —Laird, State Col
lege of Washington.
Right end — Sutton, University of
Washington.
All northwest team chosen by
Coach Osthoff.
I chose the entire back field of
the University of Washington for
their speed, hitting ability and abil
ity to pick holes. These requirements
are necessary to the back field of
any good team. In Coyle, Sparger,
Muckelstone and Wand, Washington
has a back field that cannot be du
plicated in the northwest. Coyle can
i do the kicking, and Sparger has it
. all over Niles in plunging ability and
, general all around back field work.
. Wand may not seem like an aggres
. sive player or prove to be as spectac
-1 ular as Main has been, but let some
; one try to stop him when he is going
i I through the line. Man for man, this
is the best combination of back field
. men in the entire northwest. Niles
has played but a part of the season,
and I believe that an all star team
should be composed of men who are
whole-seasoned men. This In anoth
er reason why I choose Sparger over
Niles. Coyle, for his genelarshlp
and experience, is easily the choice
for captain and quarterback.
At ends. Grimm and Sutton of
Washington are the best pair of ends
in the conference. Grimm is the best
man in the northwest in receiving
the forward pass. Sutton is an old
head, and despite the fact that he did
not play the last game against XV. S.
C. on Thanksgiving, I believe that
outside of Grimm, he is the best man
at his position.
Laird, State College, and Bailey,
Oregon, have the edge on the tackle
positions. While there is great im
provement that could be had by these
two men they are the best in the con
ference. Neither man is as versatile
or as quick In solving plays as a real
good tackle ought to be, and both
could improve on following the ball.
Still, they are the best in this part
of the country.
Joe Harter, W. S. C, and Kellogg,
University of Oregon, are given the
guard positions. No man has it on
Harter and Joe always takes care of
himself on offense. Kellogg is switch
ed from center to guard, as he is a
man who belongs on an all star ag
gregation. Still, he does not compare
with George Harter. George has the
right build for a center in the new
game—it enables him to spill a great
number of plays before the opposing
team gets them away.
