COW LECTURE

State Dairy Inspector L. w. Han.
son will give a free illustrated lect.
ure in Hawley's hall tomorrow, Fri.
day, night, on the benefits of Cow
Testing associations. Mr.. o. C. Van
Houton, a prominent dairyman OF
the state, will accompany Mr.. Hanson
and will also probably make a talk.
Saturday afternoon there will be a
meeting of dairymen interested in
the Cow Testing association now
being organized and the organization
will be completed. At the meeting
a week ago Tuesday out Of eight
dairymen present there was none who
opposed the organization and most of
them spoke favoring it-believing that
1t means an era of more profits for
dairymen.
The government agricultural depart
ment is back of these Organizatic NJ.
A government agent was here to lie
meeting of a week ago, but could not
stay over for this meeting. How
ever Mr.. Hanson is authorized to act
for him in organizing the state Of
Washington,
Briefly the Cow Testing associat-
ion is intended to weed the poor
cows out of dairy herds, and to give
the dairymen in the association ac-
curate information as to the earnings
of each individual COW in his herd.
The cost will be 81 a year for each
cow put in the association.
All dairmen and their friends are
invited to attend the Friday night
lecture which is free. All dairmen in
tcrested in the association should at
tend the Saturday afternoon meet
Ing, also.

Says Crabtree

81 Crabtree believes that the
on Creamery company should es
llpA sweet cream station in Bell
NM and meet all competition. To
~ 4rfbune he said this week:
notice some of the Lynden
merry company patrons are de-
lkng 1t and selling their cream to
Dfivate creamery. Why?
don't think there is any excuse
doing that. What we should do
sto get in and boost now and help
0fficials of the creamery meet the
competition. They have come in
6ur territory and are going about
matter of winning us away from
own creamery in a business like
They couldn't pay any more for

Smooth business men. They ad-
Use and talk to our customers
ugh the paper and personally and
convince them that it is right
they should take their business
II from the cooperative company.
m sorry to notice We are not ad-

kWhat l think we should do is to
tet them at their own game. They
trying to get our customers
us go after theirs. Let us open
Edepot in Bellingham and sell sweet
team to customers direct, II need be.
we will do that We can pay just as
luch for sweet cream as anyone can
maybe more for We don't have to
lake big profit-all we want to do

."We have or had $50 patrons here.
that number of patrons will stand

ham that will control the trade.
to do it we must stand together
ru do business like q private concern
hes 1t. We must advertise and we
Iust put man in the field. If things
re going wrong instead of selling
ur cream to some new concern we
nould put our shoulders 10 the
heel and help the officers Of the
ompany make them go right. The

than any private

lie is we have been getting n little
low. We want to wake up and use

MISSING JUROR IN
 HYDE CASE FOUND
Is Mentally Irresponsible and Jury Is Dismissed
 By the Judge

Kansas City, December 1+-Tse second hearing of Dr. B. Clarke Hyde on a charge of murdering Col . Thomas H.. Swope, ended in a mistrial today. Harry W. Waldron, the Hyde juror who escaped from the custody of a deputy marshal last Monday, returned home today. Judge Porteriield said he was mentally incom- petent and all of the jury was discharged. Waldron was not punished and was per nlitted to so home.
 Dr. Hyde's third trial was set for Jam uary 2, 1912. It is generally understood that the state will ask for continuance of the case at that time. There is little rossioi.ty of the case being -reHchcf It fore the April term of court.
 Attorneys for pr. Hyde objected to the dismissal of the jury today. Judge Por- terfied overruled their objection and said the rights of the defendant had not been placed in jeopardy. The attorneys for the defense were downcast over the sud- den ending of the trial.
 They had regarded the jury as favor able to the cause of Dr. Hyde.
 The majority of jurors refused to dis cuss their opinions of the case. Several or them nau not lndue up tnelr Hliios. oiie juror said he was convinced Dr. Hyde V ould have been acquitted as many jury men thought the states witnesses mad been coached.
 pr Hyde received the dismissal of the jury as he has every other unusual feat ure Of the case, with quizzica smile. He and Mrs. Hyde left the courtroom soon after the jury had been discharged.
 It is estimated that the second trial of pr. Hyde, which would have closed it's eighth week Saturday night, has cost S75,- GOO. About s10,ooo of this amount has been spent by the county.

MACK SAYS DEMOCRATIC
 VICTORY IS NOW ASSURED

Detroit, Mich, December 14.-"Democ- raey should be ready to win the next presidential election on constructive leg islation, not on the blunders of the re- publican party in Washington declared Norman E. Mack, chairman of the dem- oeratic national committee, at compli- mentary banquet rendered him here to- night by the Michigan state democratic committee.
 If the work so admirably begun in Washington last winter is carried out on the same progressive lines, democratic victory is assured" he continued.
 Consideration of the Sherman anti trust law has become so widespread that the average business man engaged in a corporate enterprise is not fully aware of just what course he should pursue. The President, in his recent message to Con- gross. suggests supplemental legislation, which he says will prevent all efforts to suppress legislation.
 This is a good thing if what is sug- gested by the President can be done,

Chicago, December 14,-With two men under arrest as confessed participants in the midnight automobile ride which end- ed in the hold up and murder of Mrs. Hattie Kaufman recently, the police to- night awaited the further information that the other two men who have been named in the killing were in custody.

Indianapolis, December 14-As a direct lead into the heart of the alleged dyna- mite conspiracy, District Attornery Charles W Miller, while the federal grand jury held it's initial hearing in the ease to- day, took up the question as to who fur nished the money for purchasing and pay ing the expense of carrying about the country the explosive by which more than 100 structures were blown up.
 Mrs. Andrew Hull of Kimball, Neb, who was Miss Edith Winebrener, was bookkeeper for the International Asso- citation of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, and who was familiar with it's receipts and disbursements, was closely questioned by MT. Miller while into the grand jury room were taken the stubs of checks and accounting records of the as- sociation during the five years in which the explosions occurred.
 It was during large part of these rive years that Ortie McManigal, according to his confession. did dynamiting for John J. McNamara, the convicted secretary treasurer and was often in company with James B. MeNamara. An important fea- ture of McManigaps confession attracted attention in connection with Mrs. Hull's visit to the district attorneys office. This was the admission by McManigal that he usually received about $200 for each job" and that when he complained that part of the money was being held back from him, James B. McNamara admitted seeing the stub for the check and had said John J. would ''fiX it up."
 Identity of the few witnesses called to- day was kept in strict secrecy and out siders were not permitted in the corri- dors.
 Mrs. Hull's appearance at the federal building followed that of H. s. Hockin,

but it looks illogical. for as soon as the President made the declaration we find noted captains of industry giving the Presidents plan their hearty approval.
 AS democrat l would like to see some law enacted in Washington that will per init the big business men of the country to go on and do all the big things pos sible without doing harm to the small business man. That Is what must be done. If the Sherman law is not explicit enough, l believe we should have law that means just what it says, that the business men of our nation may know just exactly what they will have to do without going to the Attorney General of the United States before embarking in any big business enterprise. We find our selves in the latter condition today.
 "The corporate offense complained of is but the outgrowth of the fostering and the encouragement of special tariff privileges granted by each succeeding republican administration and the chief feature of the tariff offense lies in the administrations repudiation of it's cam r xn pledge of 1908 for tariff revi- c

FEDERAL INQUIRY INTO
 DYNAMITING PLOT BEGINS

acting secretary of the Iron Workers as- sociaton, who had been conferring with Frank M. Ryan. the president.
 Hoclxin now occupies the position in the union formerly held by John J. Mc- Namara. Police officials of Indianapolis were present when records were taken out of the ion workers headquarters, and former stenogra phers of McNamara were also present.
 McManigal. in his confession, said at least $50OO had been paid him and said some person other than John J. McNamara did the paying but after he had had d dispute with the man over the amount he was to receive and in consequence "J. J. took the matter in hand himself all the way through" For the Cleveland job McManigal said he and James B. were paid S1O0 each.
 Referring to an explosion at the Lro- quois Steel plant at South Chicago, Me- Manigal said he used so pounds of dyna- mite and added. When l went to Indian apolis, J. J. McNamara paid me s1oo in cash as that was all the cash he had in the office. I saw him py J. B. McNmara for the job.' That records were kept of some of the money paid out was in- dicated in part of the confession in which McManigal tells of his complaint of the small pay he received before he dealt directly with McNamara. He said he previously had been receiving only $125 for each job but on a train between Cincinnati and Indianapolis he discussed places that were still to be blown up with oJhn J. MeNamara 'J. B. told me he had seen the stubs for the Mt. Yer non. H., job and that they were made for S225 while I received only $50. After that J. J. MeNamara handled the money he said.
 Among the other items mentioned by McManigal were S2O0 each for jobs at Greenville, N J., McKees Rocks, Pa. Superior, Wisconsin, Omaha, Neh.. Los Angeles Hoboken, N. J., Worcester, Mass, and Milwaukee, Wis.

The Soldiers Monument.

Last week we printed the names of the latest ldonors to the soldiers monument fund. The fund has now
 reached the sum of S1 ,S50, nearly three quarters of the amount, s2,5OO, that the monument committee of the Woman's Relief Corps have set ont to raise. It is surprising that these philosophical women have had to work so hard to raise the money for so worthy an ob- feet. It would seem that in a city the size of Putnam, from which iso many young men went to the front and made excellent war records, it would be an easy matter to raise so small an amount for a monument to perpetuate their memory. Such has not been the case. | While a number have responded to | the appeal for donations the ladies have held sales, suppers, dinners, tag day and devised all sorts of schemes, all entailing a great deal of work on | their part, to add to the amount. They have plans for carnival early in sep. tember and will have a rummage saie and tag day in the near future.
 The work has all been cheerfully undertaken and carried out by tho ladies and they look forward as cheer fully to the further work they nave planned. They have been greatly en' cou-aged by the donations received and, although they would like more to come in, they are by no means com
 blaming. They say that the monu
 ment is assured and they are therefore eIated. It would seem however Una if enough voluntary donations could be sent them to relieve them of furthel 1 hard work it would be the best pos
 sible way for citizens to show their ap preciation for the work already done 1 A short time ago the ladies petition
