ANOTHER TRIUMPH
FOR HOLSTEIN MEN
Full Sister to Marks Bull Proves to
Be Record Breaker in Butter
Production

Still another triumph has come to
one of the Yakima breeders of Hol-
stein cattle. F.. r. Marks of the All
tanum has received word that a full
sister to his herd bull now stands
third among the cows OF the world
as a producer of butter, having a
week ago made a record of $685.
pounds in seven-days test. Had
this record been made three months
ago she would have been the lead
ing COW of the world, but two other
animals have beaten the record and
lead her. The sister to the Marks bull
however. has herself also beaten the
former record, and her place is firmly
established as the peer of any butter
COW. This makes Mr.. Marks feel un-
usually happy as ne has a number OF
animals of the strain at his place and
the blood is certain to be in strong
demand among the progressive
breeders.

Old Ones Continued.

All Of the old classes are contin-
ued, including the best exhibit of
work in teaching girls household
service and an. appreciation of home
and it's duties.
There is a premium of $40 offered
in this department under the head
of individual exhibits open to all
competitors in or out of the state in
which there should be many con-
testants. In these days when nearly
everybody is ready to say something
is the matter with the modern school
system" and when nearly everybody
has a notion that he or she could
plan things much better than they
ought to take advantage of the OPP
portunity TO present their views,
their panaceas for the present edu-
cational ills, and get paid for their
trouble.
For Best Suggestions.
The class calls for the most valu-
able single exhibit IN the nature of
courses of study, outlines, plans,
etc, showing ways and means of
making school instruction more VAL
liable of connecting it more init
mately and vitality with the commun-
ity life, its interests and industries;
any plan that in an appreciable de-
gree offers solution of any i'm
portant educational problem, or
that gives promise of increased edu-
catonal efficiency. This premium
will not be awarded unless in the
opinion of the judges the exhibit is
of sufficient Importance to merit the
reward.

COMMERCE ELIXIR
WILL Be OBJECT OF
CHAMBERS INQUIRY
Action Taken BY Body to
Drop Civic Activities for
Business Campaign.

The commercial rejuvenation Of the
Chamber Of Commerce has begun. The
first step toward making II more of a
commercial and less of civic body was
taken at last nights meeting of the board
OF directors, when a resolution by II. c.
c. Stiles, providing for the appoint
ment of a committee Of eleven, TO
weigh the possibilities Of tle CONNER
cial development of Washington very
carefully, and bring before this board
at its September meeting a report that
will cover the consideration from every
angle" was adopted.
The suggestion that the Chamber get
busy commercially is not alone that of
Mr.. Stiles. but comes also from John
Joy Edison. Mr.. Stiles read a letter he
had received from Mr.. Edison, urging
that the Chamber do something toward
increasing the commercial and indus
trial opportunities Of the city.
Commercial Development.
Mr.. Stiles said that 1t was his belief
that the Board OF Trade at the recent
special merger meeting had washed It's
hands Of "all things that Nigh have to
do with the commercial advancement or
welfare Of the city," but he cited Mr..
Edson's letter In support of his belief
men Of that organization, who are also
members Of the Chamber, realize the
Importance of a commercial develop
ment in Washington.
The efforts Of the Chamber and other
organizations to increase trade and in
dustry in the District were said to
have beer successful.
'One or two manufacturing estab-
lishments have been started" he said,
"and have met with some success, but
has been opportunity, doubtless, to have
esta ablished a hundred or more
The commercial possibilities. in the
South for this city were also pointed
out by G. Grosvenor Dave. managing
director of the Southern Commercial
Congress, and by Commissioner of Agri-
culture owen, of the same organization.
Isaac Cans stirred up warm dis
cussion by asking why the milk COM
mittee had not brought in report upon
Of George N. Oysters proposition to
supply pasteurized and modified milk
under the same conditions as had OBJ
tained with the Straus Laboratory. He
wanted to know Why the Oyster propo-
sition had not been reported upon, and
what the Chambers position relative
to the purchase by the Government OF
the Straus laboratory was.
No Report on Laboratory.
1t was brought out that the Chamber
had taken no action in reference to the
Straus laboratory, and that its COM
mittee had not reported upon the
Oyster offer.
Mr.. Cans, as chairman of the mem
bership committee, reported that eight
new members had been admitted at the
last meeting of the committee. and that
several applications were now in its
hands.
The report of the special excursion
committee rendering a vote of thanks
to George H. Judd. chairman. was ap-
proved.
The report of the committee on law
and legislation relative to incorporation
of the Chamber was approved and re-
ferred to the Chamber for final action.
