received from Congressman c D

him for several years, and who evi
dences no hesitancy 0 boosting the
worth of the Carlisle man in the

splendid type of American manhood,
of the highest character and morals,
efficient in every branch of athletics
and capable of imparting his knowl

others.

INSPIRING MESSAGE BY
WONDERFUL WOMAN
Miss Helen Keller and Her Teacher
Make Profound Impression on
liarge Audience
One of the most Inspiring, im
pressive, and worth while lectures
ever delivered in Pullman was given
Monday evening In the college audi
torium by .Miss Helen Keller and her
teacher, Mrs. Macy. They brought a
message Of hope, optimism and hap
piness which went straight home to
the hearts of the large audience.
Both speakers are living examples
of how patience, courage and hard
work can win happiness despite of
what seem to be insurmountable ob
stacles and they furnish a wonder
ful tonic for the afflicted and de
spondent. -- ,
Mrs. Bacy was the first speaker
and told in simple but convincing
language the wonderful story of how
Miss Keller had overcome the loss
of sight and hearing, resulting from
a sickness when she was but 19
months old. It has taken 20 years
of patient persistent work for her to
learn to talk.
Miss Keller was then Introduced
and delivered her message on "Hap
piness." taking the position that hap
piness does not result from the pos
session of what we want but from
service to humanity and the making
of other people happy. The most in
teresting part of the lecture was the
answering by Miss Keller of ques
tions propounded by the audience
and repeated to her by Mrs. Macy.
Miss Keller placed her fingers on the
lips and throat of her teacher and
thus read the questions. Her an
swers were quick and apt and
showed that she is well Informed and
very witty.
"Why are you a socialist?" she
was asked. "Because I think that
movement will be the best remedy
for many of the ills of man."
"Are you a suffragette?" someone
asked. "Oh yes, indeed." she
answered.
Mrs. Macy asked, "Don't you think
the men are competent to take care
of our affairs?" and she replied
with a smile, "So far they haven't
made a howling success of it."
When asked how she distinguished
night from day she said: "In day
time, even when it is cloudy, the air
is warmer and lighter and there are
more smells than at night."
Her conception of color as she ex
plained it comes from reading the
poets and from friends' description.
Humorously she remarked, "When I
am angry I feel my face get red."
"Do you feel that the wind has
risen?" was asked her. "Yes," she
sad, "and i felt a door blow open."
This knowledge came to her through
the medium of sound vibration the
same as does her appreciation of
music, of which she is fond.
"Do you like to talk?" was asked.
"Of course; every woman does," was
the quick response.
That Miss Keller has broad sympa
thies and delights in making other
people happy was proved by the
fact that she donated $50 of her lec
ture fee for the aid of needy girls
who are attending the college. |
PULLMAN. WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 16. 1915
TWO PULLMAN BANKS MERGE
AND COMBINE CAPITALIZATION
Farmers State Absorbed by First National —
M. W. Whitlow Will be President and
F. C. Forrest Cashier
The First National bank of Pull
man and the Farmers State bank
have consolidated under the name of
the First National. The consolida
tion was completed Tuesday night
and the cash and books of the Farm
ers State were moved to the quart
ers of the older bank, where business
was resumed Wednesday morning
without Interrupption. By the plan
of consolidation the capital stock of
the first National is increased from
160,000 to $75,000, and the addi
tional shares are given to the own
ers of the $25,000 capital stock of
the Farmers State. M. Schultheis
Jr., president of the Farmers State,
is given the position of director and
vice president of the consolidated
bank. F. C. Forrest buys the stock
of W. O. Straight and will assume the
duties of cashier. Mr. Straight retir
ing. Both R. E. Doty and C, F. An
derson will be retained as assistant
cashiers. M. W. Whitlow will con
tinue to serve as president, and A. D.
Wexler as one of the two vice presi
dents, while O. 1.. Waller, N. E. .1.
Gentry, A. E. Olson and H. H. Curtis
will remain on the board of directors.
As a result of the merger Pullman
will have one of the strongest banks
in this section of the state. With a
capital stock of $75,000, a surplus of
$15,000, resources of over $640,000,
and deposits which on March 4, the
Freshmen Strong in Inlerclass
.New Track Material Shows Well iv
Comparison With "W" Men—
Heavy Track Makes for
Slow Time
Although a heavy track, due to
the recent rains, put record-breaking
performances out of the question, the
showing of the new track material
at Washington State College against
the tried "W" men in the interclass
and Junior meets Thursday after
noon was very gratifying, and proved
that W. S. C, will this year have a
well balanced track team that will
make a creditable showing against
any other team in the conference.
Miller, the sprinter from Vancouver,
took the 100-yard dash in 10:2 and
the 220 in 23:2. Kimball, the Bell
ingham hurdler, took the high hur
dles in 16:4 and pressed McCroskey
hard in the low flights. C. Smith,
the Freshman from Seattle, who
holds the S. A. C. records in the
Marathon events, stepped the two
miles in 10:24, although it was the
first time he had ever entered a race
under five miles. King, another
Freshman, took the shot put at 39
feet and heaved the discus 113 feet,
Pullman Citizens In Lewiston
Will Assist in Celebration Marking
Opening of Dalles-Celilo Canal
Several Pullman citizens will go
to Lewiston, Idaho, to attend the
ceremonies marking the opening of
The Dalles-Celilo canal, which will
be held there May 2 to 4. A commit
tee consisting of 11. Folger, J. N. Em
erson and A. E. Olson has been ap
pointed by the Chamber of Commerce
to secure as large a representation
as possible from Pullman, and all
persons who desire to go are urged
to make arrangements at once with
some member of the committee.
The festivities commemorating the
removal of the barrier to navigation
between the sea and the Inland Em
pire will continue all during the
week.
Lewiston, Idaho, the farthest east
ern point for continuous navigation
on the Columbia and its tributaries,
will'begin the festivities with a his
torical parade on Monday, May 3.
date of the last call by the comp
troller of the currency, aggregated
$478,320.28, the consolidated Institu
tion will be in a position to meet all
legitimate demands for credit by its
patrons and to give them better serv
ice at less expense than could be af
forded by two banks operating separ
ately.
The First National is one of the
pioneer banks of this section. The
Farmers State opened for business
May 10, 1010, and has enjoyed a
slow but steady growth. W. E. Han
son, its first cashier, resigned to ac
cept the office of State Bank Exam
iner. His position was taken tempor
arily by K. A. Langley, who remained
in charge until last October, when F.
C. Forrest came out from South Da
koota, bought a block of stock In the
bank and was made cashier. He has
filled the position with marked abil
ity and has won the confidence and
good will of the entire community,
both as a safe banker and a progres
sive citizen.
W. O. Straight, who has been
cashier of the First National, has
made many friends in Pullman, who
will regret his decision to seek an
other location.
Until the details of the consoli
dation can be worked out, checks on
the Farmers State will be cashed by
the First National and the employes
of both institutions will be retained.
Schlechtler, a new man who gives
much promise, took the 440 handily
in 53 seconds flat, and was second
to the speedy Miller in the 220.
Thompson, the Johnson recruit, took
the pole vault, but was forced to go
only 9 feet 7 inches to win his event.
Schultz, a "W" man, won the mile
in 4:40; Unbewust took the high
jump at 5 feet 6 inches, and McCros
key went only 18 feet 10 inches to
win the broad jump. Casad, another
veteran, took the half mile event in
two minutes 16 3-5 seconds, and
Dietz took the javelin event at 140
feet.
The relay race was conceded to
the first year men, but in a special
feature relay race in which only men
who had not taken part in the other
events were eligible, the Juniors
were victorious. The feature of the
relay was the sensational work of
"Doc" Meg and Hildenbrand for the
winners, and Coach Bohler expects
to have these two "finds" out in
suits this afternoon. >
Both the interclass and Junior
meets, which were run simultaneous
ly, were won by the Freshmen, who
scored more points than all the
classes combined in both meets.
Following the Lewiston celebration
a fleet of river steamers under com
mand of "Admiral" William P. Gray
of Pasco, president of the Columbia
and Snake River Waterways associa
tion, will start on a voyage to the
mouth of the river, participating in
programs at towns along the river.
The fleet will make stops and par
ticipate in celebrations at all points
along the route.
GRAIN PRION STATIO.VAKV
The local grain market was not
affected in the least by the Chicago
advices on Wednesday of phenome
nal advances in wheat quotations,
when May wheat rose to within four
cents of the highest mark of the
year. The inactivity of the local
market is explained by the unsettled
oast shipping conditions. Red Rus
sian remains steady at $1 per bushel,
with club and fortyfold five cents
higher. Oats are quoted at $1.35
per hundredweight and barley at $1.

have already signified their intention
of going and separated themselves
from the necessary dollar ten. The
committee announces that all who

the Chindlund Photograph Studio on
Alder street from E. A. Chindlund,
who bought the establishment
several months ago from Robert
Burns, and took possession Thursday

SPOKANE INDIANS
PLAY HERE TODAY
••Norm" Moss Will Pitch His First
Game of Season Against .Spokane
Leageete— Even With
O. A. 0.
"Norm" Moss, last year one of the
premier pitchers of the Northwest
Conference, will be sent to the
■lab by Coach Johnny Bender this
afternoon against the Spokane In
dians, who have gathered together a
bunch of players who bid fair to be
come a factor in the Northwest
league pennant race. Moss has been
out of the game so far this season
nursing a sprained wrist, received In
a basket ball game, but for several
days past has been burning them
over the plate in old time style, and
Bender figures htm the strongest
man In the squad to serve up the
curves, drops and fast ones to the
leaguers. The game will be called at
four o'clock, and It is expected that
delegations from Colfax. Moscow,
Palouse and other Inland Empire
points will be on hand to see the two
teams In action. It is hardly to be
hoped that Bender's men can win
from the salaried players, but it is
a certainty that the visitors will be
given a run for their money.
W. S. C. lost to the Indians In
Spokane yesterday, 5 to 0, with
Hartman pitching.
W. S. C. I, O. A. ('. I
W. S. C. broke even in her two
games with Oregon Agricultural Col
lege on the local field Monday and
Tuesday of this week, winning the
Monday contest 4 to I, and losing
the Tuesday game 12 to 5, after
a blowup in the sixth inning. The
feature of the Monday game was the
brilliant work of Southpaw Hartman,
on the slab for the locals. Hartman
won his own game In the fifth Inning
on a two-base hit which scored Sat
terthwaite, and In turn crossed the
pan on a double by Bolder. Again
the southpaw proved his worth in
the eighth frame, when, after the
bases had been filled by hits and er
rors, he fanned the three heavy O. A.
C. hitters ln a row. Another feat
ure of the first game was the work
of Shortstop Bohler, who. poled out
three hits and brought the fans to
their feet In the seventh when he
stole home.

The Tuesday game, as pretty a
battle as one could hope to see up to
the sixth inning, was converted into
a landslide for the visitors when
Bender's team blew up In that
frame. Six hits, four errors and two
walks netted the visitors a total of
10 runs In the inning, enough to win
most any game of baseball.
