The whole parish contributed literally of such things as could be spared and Mrs. Ryan and Mrs. Brod aided largely by their help in promoting the success of the event.

There was once time when doctors were doomed to celibacy. It was at the conclusion of the mediaeval period, when medicine was in the hands of the monks. In France the habit of celibacy persisted long after the practice of medicine had passed into lay hands. For two or three centuries the doctors protested, but in vain. The matter was finally laid before the pope and toward the end of the fifteenth century the vow was abolished.

 London, Aug. 23.-Inquiry at the American Embassy to-day brought the positive statement by attaches that Whitelaw Reid, the American Amh4s- sador now in the United States has not resigned his post. It was given out that MT. Reid will return to Lon- don within weeks and that he fully expects to continue his work here throughout the coming winter. at least.
 The rumor of the ambassadors re- signation probably arose from the home visit at this time. taken in con- nection with the coolness between MT. Reid and President Taft. MT. Reid has admitted that while he would like to retain the ambassadorship under MT. Taft's administration. he has little hope of his wish being granted.

OLEO LAW ATTACKED.

Now that Congress is in session
a vigorous attempt will be made to
repeal the 10 per cent tax on oleo that
is colored to resemble butter. A
meeting was recently held in Chicago
of the national packers association,
the national grocers' association, and
the national butchers association,
with the manufacturers in that and
other cities, of oleomargarine. AS the
result of that meeting there was a
combination of these interests, to Sc
cure the repeal of the oleo law. They
say:
THE maker of poor mans butter
commonly known as butterine, or oleo,
is at a disadvantage. The various
taxes on this product, it is contended,
compel maker and dealer to sell an
article designed to be sold at a low
figure, for almost as high figures as
natural butter. 1t is proposed to
arouse the laboring classes to real
ization of the injustice of the oleo
laws and have the laws repealed, or
changed to admit the sale of butterine
without SO many restrictions. 1t is
argued that other products made in
imitation of an original product are
not taxed, nor is there any restriction
placed on their SALE"
In New York and Pennsylvania the
restrictions placed on the sale of col
ored oleo as oleo without attempt to
defraud has been strenuously attack
ed in the courts.
The American Dairy Union is said
to be preparing to organize the farm
ers against the repeal of the law.
The importance of this movement
may be seen from the estimate that
this law has been instrumental in ad.
vancing the price of butter fully five
cents per pound throughout the coun-
try.

OREGON DAIRY CONVENTION.

The annual meeting Of the Oregon
State Dairy Association had many
points Of interest and value to the
industry. The annual address Of the
president, Prof F. L. Kent, showed
that the business had barely held it's
own in production through the year
as many localities had decreased the
dairy stock by sales; seven carloads
of cows had gone from one town in
Linn County in seven weeks, and many
cars during the season from Marion
County However, the industry has
largely increased in the Pacific North
west. Facilities for handling the prod
uct have been materially improved
Hundreds of tracts of kale have
been planted to use as cow forage for
winter use. The work Of testing cows
has made excellent progress and is
giving good results. The average
monthly price for cream for II months
of 1908 was a little over 80 cents per
pound of butter fat; December price is
36h cents. The general tendency is
towards an improvement Of quality and
better methods Of handling cream.
He cited results of some yearly tests.
The Jersey SOW, Adelaide, of Beech
lands No. 16S699, of the Ladd herd, had
produced 1852 lbs. Of milk, containing
S49.95 lbs. of butterfat, equal to 1885
lbs. of butter.
